This is an A.R. fic. As such, there are some rather apparent deviations from the events of the show, namely the fact that these characters are college-aged throughout Duelist Kingdom and Battle City. Content warning for sexual situations.
"Kaiba!"
Seto heard the familiar voice as he walked down the stairs toward the courtyard. He smirked to himself but continued walking. Every lunch break, like clockwork, she would find him. He thought that she might give up trying if he was in a different area of the vast college campus every day, but she persisted. "Kaiba, wait—!" the girl called after him again. This time Seto put on an indifferent expression and turned to face her.
"You again?" he asked as she approached.
"Oh, um… Should I leave you alone?" Laveda asked worriedly. "I don't mean to bother you."
Seto shrugged. "It's all the same to me. What do you want?"
"I-I was just wondering…" Laveda spoke, blushing. "Would you maybe want to eat together today?"
"You ask as though we don't eat together every day."
"Umm… I just—it'd be rude to assume. I always feel like I'm bothering you…"
Seto shrugged again, not meeting her gaze.
"Um… I made you something," said Laveda timidly. Seto looked back at her, showing some interest. Laveda rummaged through her backpack and pulled out a stuffed toy sewn to resemble a duel monster. Seto stared.
"That…" he said, trailing off as he looked at it. He took it from her as he continued. "That is…the Blue Eyes White Dragon, isn't it?"
Laveda nodded, her face still red. "I made it for you," she repeated bashfully.
"The Blue Eyes is my favorite card in all of Duel Monsters. How did you know?"
Laveda blinked. "It-It is?"
"You mean you just picked it randomly?"
"No, not randomly! No… I visited your game shop a few days ago and I saw a picture of it! I thought it looked interesting, so I decided to make this."
"So that's how…" Seto spoke, still looking at the plush. "Wait, you were at my store?"
"Well, yeah… Someone told me you're always busy after classes because of that, so I wanted to go see. Is that bad?"
"So you're pretty much a real stalker?"
Laveda blushed and hung her head. "I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be weird."
"Too late for that."
"I-I should go!" Laveda said, rushing off before Seto could reply. He watched her leave, wanting to say something reassuring, but at a loss for words. His heart was racing. Obviously he liked the gift, and he didn't mind the "stalking". On the contrary, he quite liked the attention. Not that it was the first time a beautiful girl had ever had a crush on him, but there was something about Laveda… She just seemed so sweet and pure.
That night, Seto found that he could not stop thinking about her. The toy she had made for him carried with it her particular scent and as he lay in bed, half asleep, he couldn't help imagining her with him. How would she react if he invited her over? How would she react if he invited her to sit next to him on his bed? She clearly liked him, but he doubted she would be prepared for such a scenario, and it amused him to think of it. What would Laveda do if he took it even further…?
With these thoughts, Seto finally drifted off to sleep. In his dreams, he met her again. She acted like the same naive girl from his class, but he was different. He cornered her in a stairwell, and she looked up at him with wide eyes as he trapped her against the wall underneath the stairs. She clutched her books tightly against her large breasts, and they quickly became the only buffer between the two of them as Seto ran his hand along her thigh, under her skirt…
She dropped her books as he slid her panties off. With the books gone, he pressed his body against hers so she could feel his hard cock through his pants. The feel of her breasts against his chest was more than he could take, and he tore her shirt open with one hand as he unzipped his own pants with the other. He fucked her mercilessly in the stairwell, and her screams of pleasure echoed deafeningly.
When Seto awoke, his cock was still hard. He jerked off to thoughts of fucking Laveda throughout their college campus. What he wouldn't give to have her at his beck and call, ready to suck him off or take his cock inside her whenever and wherever he instructed.
After his sex dream about Laveda, Seto looked forward to watching the girl's awkward attempts at getting closer to him. He thought about inviting her over, or even cornering her in the stairwell like in his dream, but even though they were both in college, and even though she was a year older than him, it felt criminal to defile such a small girl with such a childlike infatuation, so he continued to simply tease her whenever they met.
After a short time, however, he began to see less of Laveda. She had stopped searching for him at lunchtime, and he took to occasionally wandering the halls himself, on the off chance he caught sight of her. He realized that he knew very little about her habits and what classes she took. One day, however, he happened to catch sight of her as she stepped out of a large lecture hall.
"Velasco!" he called out to her without thinking. She caught sight of him and blushed.
"Oh, Kaiba…" she said bashfully. "Hello."
"I haven't seen you lately," he said matter-of-factly, unsure what else to say.
"Yeah, I figured I'd give you a break so you could actually hear yourself think, for once."
No kidding, Seto thought privately. You're being more standoffish than I've ever seen you.
"Right, well… I suppose I'll talk to you later, then," Seto said, feeling slightly irritated.
Rumors came to Seto about a transfer student from England. Apparently he stood out quite a bit, but the thing that caught Seto's attention was the fact that the new guy had been seen spending a lot of time with the Latina girl from the United States.
"Velasco—!"
Seto had spotted her outside one of the side entrances. She walked over to where he stood beside the wall of the building.
"Kaiba? What do you want?"
"I want to know about you and the new guy."
"Oh…" Laveda blushed. "You mean Bakura, right? He's in a lot of my classes. We have the same major."
"And?"
Laveda blinked, looking confused. "And…uh…I've talked to him a bit, and he seems really nice."
"Yeah, a lot of guys seem nice."
Laveda giggled.
"What?" Seto snapped.
"It's funny to hear you say that, considering…"
"Considering what?" Seto prompted impatiently.
"Just considering the fact that you don't seem nice at all."
Seto stared at Laveda for a moment. Suddenly, Seto put his hands on either side of Laveda, against the wall behind her, trapping her.
"I'm not nice," he said simply, looking down at her.
Laveda looked up at him. "I don't believe you," she retorted evenly.
Seto lowered his arms. "Maybe you're right, but I won't be nice if this guy Bakura ends up hurting you in any way."
"Kaiba…"
"You can call me Seto, if you'd like," Seto spoke softly.
"Seto… Do you think maybe I should be wary of Bakura…? After all, you are abrasive and terse, but a good person where it counts."
Seto found himself breathing heavily. Laveda continued to look up at him with her large brown eyes. Her expression seemed so… innocent. She was wearing a very fashionable shirt with a slightly plunging neckline, but she had so much more chest than the average girl wearing it, and this was a perfect example of how her obliviousness made Seto want to protect her and fuck her right there against the wall at the same time.
Seto cleared his throat. "You should be wary of any man… including me," he said before walking away.
"Kaiba is acting so weird lately," Joey mused.
"Yeah, he seems more intense than usual, if that's even possible," Tristan added.
"Well, he has been putting in a lot of hours at his company since…you know…" Téa spoke pointedly.
"Since what?" asked Joey, confused.
"Yeah, what are you talking about? Yugi asked curiously.
"Since Laveda started hanging around Bakura all the time," Téa explained as though it was obvious.
"Laveda who?"
"You mean the foreign girl who used to follow Kaiba around?"
"I got the impressions that that was a one-sided thing," said Yugi. "I didn't get the sense that Kaiba was very fond of her, that's for sure."
"That's because guys are idiots," said Téa. "No offense."
"Hey!" Joey protested.
"Some taken!" added Tristan.
"You know what I mean," Téa elaborated. "Guys are terrible at expressing themselves. Kaiba obviously liked Laveda, but he was too proud to show it. Now she's spending all her time with this other guy and he doesn't know how to deal with it other than throwing himself into his work."
"I think you're right," Yugi agreed contemplatively.
"Man, you guys are picking up on a lot of things I'm missing," said Joey, scratching his head.
"Well, that's a given," said Téa, rolling her eyes.
