Disclaimer: Yu-Gi-Oh and the Kaiba-brothers aren't mine, sadly!
Author's note: My 20th fanfiction on this account! And because of that it is a YGO fanfiction, because it all started with that. I know it is short and there are probably some mistakes, but I needed to write and post it. Hope you enjoy it!

Knowledge
There are a lot of things Mokuba doesn't know and Seto makes sure he never will tell his brother all those things.
Mokuba doesn't know that their mother knew she would die giving birth to him. She still did it because she didn't want her first born to be lonely.
Mokuba doesn't know that it wasn't an accident in which their father died. It was suicide.
Mokuba doesn't know that his real father committed suicide, because he couldn't stand seeing his children, who he blamed for the death of his wife.
Mokuba doesn't know that he, like his brother, has the eyes of their mother. Not because of the colour or the shape, but because of the always present defiant look in them.
Mokuba doesn't know that Seto can't remember their real parents or that he doesn't care about it.
Mokuba doesn't know how bad Gozaburo truly treated Seto.
Mokuba doesn't know that the day Seto challenged their step-father he didn't truly care about the outcome of it all, because whatever would have happened, Mokuba would be safe.
Mokuba doesn't know he was truly played that day Seto pushed him to the ground and called him a traitor. Everything to make sure that he would be safe.
Mokuba doesn't know that Seto heard him crying afterwards and that it broke his heart more then anything else in the world and that his older brother was praying to all the gods that Mokuba would forgive him.
Mokuba doesn't know that the night he drew the card of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, he saved Seto's life.
Mokuba doesn't know that Seto simply can't cry anymore, there is something too broken inside him for that.
Mokuba doesn't know that he is Seto's life and he would give everything for his brother, literally.
Mokuba doesn't know that Seto remembers his past in ancient Egypt.
Mokuba doesn't know that Seto chose him over a Pharao, like he chose the Blue-Eyes White Dragon over the Egyptian god Obelisk, by choosing the future over the past.
Mokuba doesn't know that Seto is afraid of a lot of things and most of them have to do with Mokuba.
Mokuba doesn't know that Seto sometimes watches him just to remember why he is still alive and fighting.
Mokuba doesn't know that he is the only reason why Seto never gives up.
Mokuba doesn't know that Seto doesn't think of himself as Seto anymore, but as Kaiba.
Mokuba doesn't know that he is the only person who can use his brothers first name without creating the feeling of confusion in his brother.
Mokuba doesn't know that the first word he ever said was his brother's name.
Mokuba doesn't know that the first thing that ever amazed Seto was Mokuba's smile.
Mokuba doesn't know that Seto loves him more then life, destiny and the world itself and he would sacrifice all that if it would make Mokuba smile.
There are even more things that Mokuba doesn't know because Seto will never say them.
But there is also one thing that Seto doesn't know.
Mokuba knows.
