Summary: Seto Kaiba is at a loss for words when he finds Mokuba's stash of cookies. Silent-shipping.
Cookie Jar I.
Mokuba couldn't remember how he stumbled to this particular website. He was fascinated to see how many hits these stories obtained. Opening one story about him and Rebecca made him think if that's how readers thought their relationship between him and his girlfriend were really are. Some authors were accurate and some were playfully, giving Mokuba different kinds of personalities, fantasies, and just a world of wonders. Ever since he found the site, he couldn't wait to get home after school, that he stopped going to the arcades.
Seto was at loss for words. He was concerned, yet, happy at the same time that Mokuba took a liking to reading. However, when Seto asked Mokuba what he was reading, Mokuba insisted it was how-to subjects, economics, and business. Seto didn't understand since Mokuba was the complete opposite of him and was concerned that Mokuba was turning out just like him. Happy because he was reading. Thankfully, Mokuba reassured Seto that it wasn't like that. He wanted to start his own business for the orphans to help them get an education, and help them through college when no one claimed them as family. Seto was taken back when he heard about Mokuba's efforts.
The young man was not young anymore. He was going to college along with his girlfriend, Rebecca. Of course, she was surprised just as Mokuba and couldn't help but read these fictions. Of course, these authors had an infinite number of ideas of their relationship, that Mokuba and Rebecca started to explore the Yugi gang as well. Yugi and Tea were a big hit along with Yugi's dark side, Yami. A lot of authors enjoyed the closure between the Yugi gang, that Mokuba and Rebecca could see why. Not only Yugi and Tea were popular, but Joey and Mai, Honda and Miho, and a lot of Honda with Shizuka, Duke with Shizuka. However, this did not peek the young couple's interest since Honda and Duke were always all-over Shizuka that it irritated the poor girl.
Even while Yugi and the gang went to college with Mokuba and Rebecca, Mokuba and Rebecca couldn't help but feel sorry for Shizuka. Honda and Duke were so overprotective that Shizuka stopped having lunch with them and went into hiding. The only place they will find Shizuka is at her work, or home. Shizuka was glad to get away from them since all they did was talk about her. Even those two fought over her. Duke offered her a job, and she declined. Since, Honda couldn't offer a job, he would offer her a ride to work or home, or just lend a helping hand. However, when Duke saw this, Duke started to do the same.
That's when Mokuba clicked filters. In the first character name box he highlighted Shizuka's name. In the second character box, he scroll down until he saw his brother's name. Been curious about the two, he clicked his brother's name. In the genre he highlighted romance. For the ratings he put all. Status was the last box, so he decided to find all in-complete and complete stories.
"Search," Mokuba grinned to see how the authors imagined Seto and Shizuka's relationship would be like in real life.
Seto really was curious to know what Mokuba was reading. The oldest brother never wanted his young brother to turn out like him. All business. However, he was delighted to know that his baby brother took an interest in reading. Not too many kids read. Now-a-days young kids and teens find reading boring. Walking into his brother's room, he found Mokuba to be reading something so seriously. Mokuba had his arm up on the desk, leaning against hand. That's when he saw Mokuba lift an eyebrow.
"Something caught your interest?" Seto asked curious to know what his brother was reading.
"Indeed," Mokuba was straight to the point. Gunmetal eyes met cobalt ones. Now it was Seto's turn to raise an eyebrow.
"May I ask what you are reading?" Seto sat down on Mokuba's bed.
"I was reading the feedbacks from our duelists about our current models. Judging from their comments we received a lot of positive reviews. I wanted to give the community something back," Mokuba answered as Seto was shocked to hear.
"Don't worry about Kaiba Corp. You should focus on your dreams and goals," Seto couldn't believe what Mokuba said.
"Brother I want to help the orphanages. I know for a fact that have a place to stay, but I want to create a an academy for them just so they could get back on their feet without having to worry in finding a home. They have education they need, and the society they witness outside the grounds will give a benefactor to continue their education and have better lives. Brother this is my dream," Mokuba answered to him as Seto crossed his arms over his chest.
"That's a big dream. I'm sure you can do it. I have the funds I can lend you," Seto offered.
"Brother, you don't understand. I don't want help from you. I want to build something from scratch and call it my own," Mokuba answered looking at his hands.
"I don't understand what you're saying, Mokie," Seto was confused.
"It means I no longer want to depend on you. I want to move on," Mokuba said as Seto's eyes widened.
"You mean..." Seto stood up hoping this was all dream.
"Yes brother. After college, I'm moving out for good. I want to have a normal life. A wife and family I can love," Mokuba's turn to cross his arms.
Seto didn't know what to say. It was true that Mokuba has been watching Seto's back for years. However, Mokuba was no longer a child. He was a full-grown adult. Walking out Mokuba's door, Mokuba saw that he hurt his brother's feelings, but at the same time, he knew Seto would have to open his eyes one day.
Turning back to the computer, Mokuba could finally laugh to what he was reading. He couldn't believe he lied to his brother about reading.
Pardon my grammar. Black Ice is on hiatus.

Mokuba spend the night at Rebecca's house. Seto just walked into his brother's room and sat on chair. He turned on Mokuba's iPad and clicked the internet brower. Placing the mouse to the history folder, that's when Seto rose an eyebrow. What the hell was ?
