Fandom: Yuugiou
Characters: Kaiba Seto, Ishizu Ishtar
Prompt: 061. Winter
Word Count: 100
Rating: PG
Summary: Colds evidently do not sit well with the resident Ice Prince.
Author's Notes: This is written for the Live Journal community, Fanfic100. Basically, I will be (sporadically) posting 100 100-word drabbles focusing on some aspect of Kaiba/Ishizu. This is post-engagement (as in, Kaiba and Ishizu are engaged), as most of these drabbles will be since Hourglass is the continuation of The Nostalgic Sentiments Series, which was five interlaced one-shots focusing on their relationship and eventual engagement.
Of course I still write for this lovely fandom. ;D

Her first inclination was to tell him that he wasn't indestructible, but she thought better of it and suggested that they go inside.
Some things never changed.
