That'll Be…
Chapter One
Seto Kaiba couldn't understand why he chose to eat at this tiny diner when he had any restaurant in the city he could have chosen. When he sat down at the booth in the dark corner, he noticed that he was in a pretty clean and uptight diner. There were pictures of what seemed to be former employees. On each table were caddies that had stain-steel sugar, salt and pepper holders. There were tent cards with deserts, drinks, or specials on them.
"What can I get you to drink?" Kaiba turned away from the caddie and was about to answer when he saw he was being served by a man. The waiter wore a white t-shirt that had the symbol of Batman on the front and wore black jeans. His hair brought Kaiba's eyes to widen; it was black, red and had yellow bangs. However, it was his crimson eyes that kept Kaiba from answering.
"Sir? What would you like to drink?"
"Water for now."
"Very well. Here is a menu for you to look at."
He watched as the waiter walked away. A couple of minutes had passed when the waiter came back with his water and asked what he wanted.
"I'll have a burger."
"Burger?" The waiter just raised one of his eyebrows in disbelief.
"What?"
"Nothing." He turned around and left Kaiba to himself.
About 10 minutes later, the waiter returned but came with two plates of burgers. When he set down Kaiba's plate, he sat another and himself down. Confused, Kaiba just looked at the waiter and was waiting for him to leave. When the other went so far as to put ketchup in the other hamburger, Kaiba realized he wasn't going to leave. In fact, he was going to eat right there and then with Seto Kaiba. Seto Kaiba! The multi-trillionare that was on the top of the gaming world. It didn't matter if it was card games, or video games, every game that came out, Kaiba Corp seemed to bring it out first and the best. Now it seemed that Seto Kaiba was just an average person.
"I'm going to ask you to leave."
"I don't think so. Considering that I'm off the clock and hungry. Besides all the other booths are being cleaned or occupied and you're by yourself."
"Leave."
"Now why would I want to do that Kaiba?"
"Excuse me?"
"I know you're Seto Kaiba."
"And you?"
"Yami Mutou."
"Yami, you can leave!"
Yami only chuckled and continued to eat his burger.
"I'm sorry?"
"I said no."
"No?"
"No."
"Wait, what?"
"I guessed you liked your burger?"
Kaiba did a double take at his plate and saw his burger gone. He couldn't recall even taking a bite but he had seen Yami not let his burger down so he must have eaten his burger.
"I guess."
"Good. It's on the house."
"I don't feel like giving you a tip."
"It's alright. Just sitting down and resting is more than enough for a tip."
Intrigued Seto decided to stay and asked how life was as a waiter. He found out that serving had to be one of the hardest jobs. The guest, not customer, was always right and was treated like a king. All the servers had to make sure their tables were spot clean after a customer left and if there was a line, the cleaning had better be done within a minute. There seemed to be so many rules and if you were a good server, you could leave a shift with 100 or more. However, about one-fourth of the tables never tipped and would be complete jerks to the servers.
"Well, I hope you made some tonight."
"Not what I wanted but at least I get to go home and rest for two days."
"So are you one of the "good" servers?"
"Yeah. In fact, I give some of the best service you'll ever see." Intrigued, Seto just stayed and continued to listen to Yami. When Yami was finally finished they both ended leaving the restaurant at the same time. On the way out, Yami grabbed his leather jacket while Seto waited. They walked for quite awhile talking about each other's lives and how they were more similar than one would think. Without realizing it, they walked to the park and continued to talk when they noticed the sun rising.
"Wow! What time is it?" Yami asked.
"Well, my watch says its about 6:15."
"Oh my god! I'm exhausted but I'm not tired. However, I think I should head back to my apartment."
"Hold on." Seto pulled out his cell and started to dial. Yami just stood next to him with his hands in his jacket. "Roland, come pick me up, I'm at the park. Make it sooner."
After he put his cell away he looked and saw Yami give me a questioning look.
"My driver is coming to pick us up."
"Us?"
"Despite being raised by an asshole, there is no reason for common manners to not be present."
"Yeah. Its strange how some of the greatest people are raised by assholes, while some the most horrible scum are raised by real decent people."
"Asshole family? Or decent family?"
"Both. Mother left me when I was real little. Father was my role model until he was murdered, so I'm being raised my grandfather. He's a teacher at the high school downtown."
"Wait. Soloman Mutou is your grandfather?"
"You know him? Seto Kaiba, the big-wig of the world knows my grandfather?"
"A year ago he did a presentation at my company. It was when we wanted advice on a new game product we wanted to come out and his advice actually had me stopping the product to make more adjustments to it. In a year, I'll be asking him to come back and give us his advice."
"I'll make sure to tell him."
"Well, there's my driver. Lets go."
--
"There's my building."
"Your building?"
"Give it to the big-wig of the world to correct my grammar."
"Your welcome."
"Thanks for the ride Kaiba."
"Shouldn't that be Mr. Kaiba to you?"
"That'll be the day! The day I call someone who is the same age as me, Mister!" Yami laughed while he left the limo. When the limo drove off, Yami just shook his head in laughter.
"That'll be…"
So, how is it? In this piece of literature, I'm going to take advice on what you guys think should happen. If I think it wouldn't go well here, I may make a short little story with your idea or something.
