A/N: While I'm still writing the next chapter of "Try Again", here's the second part of "what's hotter" :) Enjoy and don't take this too serious.

What's hotter, red or violet?

Chapter 2: It's a hard day's work

Seto sighed. This day had been a total hell. The physics had been the only lesson where he was together with Yami and not with the whole gang of those damned lil' kiddos who his secretly-obsessing-over-you spirit called friends! 'no no, Kaiba. Be kind' he thought to himself.

Well…He had been late for history and Joey had made stupid remarks about his sense of time. Of course after that he had humiliate the dog-boy like never before...but Seto still had that feeling that he could shoot him if he had a chance. 'But let's not think about the bad things, right? Right…' Seto tried to cheer himself up. Oh boy. He had been talking to himself way too much. But who cared? There was nobody other to talk to.

The school day was over and he was back in his nice huge mansion, treating himself to a cup of hot nerve-calming green tee without sugar (because sugar made him nervous) Actually, anything sweet made him nervous. He also knew all too well that sweets were Yami's favorite and main meal. Damn it! Couldn't he think about anything other than Yami? …Seto cuddled up in his couch and closed his eyes. Calmness… silence and calmness … He shut out all the bothering thoughts in his head and enjoyed the almighty blackness around him. Beautiful. Truly beautiful this peace…

"Brother! Guess what we did today!" Seto's little brother who had just arrived home started babbling like there was no tomorrow, slaughtering his beautiful peace.

"We had a project at school and we had to describe our idol and why the person is our idol and I said that you're my idol because you're cool and good looking and you work so hard and you're my elder brother and you are such a good duellist and you have one of the biggest companies on this world and that you…"

'oh shit…company…work.." popped into Seto's mind as he tried his hardest to not kill his little brother who had scared the shit out of him. Damn, he had forgotten about his work! Was he really getting that old!?

"Mokuba…could you please…well…shut the fuck up for a minute!?" he finally managed to cut his little brother off. Mokuba's yaw dropped to floor…

"You're evil! You're pure evil!" the little boy shouted and run upstairs, crying his eyes out.

"Oh no. What have I just done…"Seto sighed. This was definitely too much for him and his poor head, he had even used the 'f' word in front of his little brother. Fool.

"Ok then. I'm going to work now!" he announced this important fact and got up from his seat. Somehow Seto had the feeling his little brother won't be missing him home this evening.

"Now this is really no life" he grumbled and grabbed his briefcase with documents from the nearest table.

"I'll be late!" he shouted one last time and got out of the house.

"I hope a car runs over you!" was the only reply he got from his brother as he closed the door.

Yami stretched like a cat and put his head on the soft pillow in his bed.

'Now this is life!' he thought and looked around. He had his own room, his own bed and his own body, as a matter of fact. He had decided to stay in this world for some time after the final duel with Yugi. And the outcome was better than he had ever wished for. His friends were happy and safe. He didn't have to save the world or duel all the time. He could get familiar with the modern life of this century and he had to admit it all together was very exciting.

And then there was Tea…Oh well. She was quite a huge problem but Yami had somehow managed to get rid of her for some time. Had he said that he has a weird allergy against girls' skin or something like that? Well. He really couldn't remember what had he said to the obsessed girl but she had stopped to run after him for a moment. Oh, and then there was school. That was the second dark part of his nowadays' life. Most of the subjects were just too boring so he managed to stay awake in most of them only with difficulties. Right. And then there was Kaiba. S.e.t.o. Seto.

'Remember to call him Seto.' Yami reminded himself. Seto was strange, not that he didn't like him or anything, he was just strange. Sometimes he acted quite friendly, sometimes looked like a lone wolf on a cold mountain without having eaten for a month and sometimes he was that could mountain itself. But Yami had to admit that Seto was quite attractive.

'Why am I thinking about him anyway?' the pharaoh wondered and closed his eyes. 'I'll just sleep for a while. Homework can wait…Yugi will call me when supper is ready…grandpa said he don't need my help at the game shop today…' and with that he was already asleep.

Seto got home late and late means REALLY late if we talk about Seto.

'I hate my life' was the only thought in his head as he reached the doorstep of his mansion. It had started to rain and now the young CEO looked like a miserably wet dog.

"Just WHY exactly did I want to walk home today? Where was my brain to not take an umbrella with me? God, this is nasty," he muttered to himself.

After a moment of more grumbling he opened the door at last and got in. Not looking around he went upstairs and to his room.

"My head hurts" Seto muttered, peeling off his wet coat and dropping it on his bed.

"Good evening Kaiba! …I mean… Seto."

All of Seto's senses tensed up immediately and he jumped around to see Yami sitting at his work desk.

"Oh, don't worry, I'm not going to steal anything!" the spirit of the puzzle said with a smile, trying to lighten up the whole atmosphere.

"How did you get in? What do you want? Why are you sitting at my table?!" 'and why not lying on my bed?' the surprised brown-haired youth fired off the questions one after another not even thinking about them. Well. But he still got the sanity to not ask the last one.

"God, you're a grumbler." Yami rolled his eyes. "But ok. I know I really should have been more tolerant and inform you about my visit but you see…you didn't answer my phone calls so I decided that it wouldn't hurt to come for a visit to get to know something more about our physics topic but…well…you weren't home. Still, Mokuba was so nice and let me in. He called me his friend and said he wished I would be his brother…does that little kid has a trauma or something like that? But well, ok. The main point is that I have been sitting here for almost 2 hours already and I have to go home now. When will he have that seminar? Monday? Tuesday? Seto? Why are you staring at me?"

Seto kept silent. Thoughts. Many thoughts were in his head. In his big big head. 'Oh. My. God! Yami is actually in my room! He's talking to me! Is he saying anything? Well. I see him. He's so beautiful, that sexy beast. Why can't I hear a tune? Helooo? Mind!? Where's the sound!? …he look so good. And those eyes. I love those eyes. I think I love him so much because of the eyes. What am I talking about! No! Not eyes! His character! He's so mysterious and …I don't know…dark in some way. I wonder what would he say if I kissed him? Or…'

"Why are you staring at me?" was the question that brought Seto back in the reality.

'Oh shit shit shit! This is not good! I'm sick! S.I.C.K! Now what to say? What to say!?' he panicked.

"I'm not staring. I'm looking." was the only answer he could come up with.

"okeyyy….then why are you looking so?" Yami was getting annoyed.

'Big shit. Definitely I'm in huge shit now. Think Kaiba…think think think …you didn't hear a thing. What to answer? What to answer?!? Wait. I know that he was talking about physics so…'

"Tomorrow is Saturday. Come here at 10 o'clock or so and we'll work on our seminar question, ok? I still have to phone the others and tell them their topics so…now excuse me and get out of my house because I'm tired and I'm sleepy and I'm…Damn, why am I telling you all these things? Just get out!" with that Seto showed Yami the door.

"Ok. But can't you try to be just a little bit friendlier? I'm not THAT bad…" Hissed the spirit and made his way out of Seto's room, followed by Seto himself.

'I'm very very sure you're not bad at all…' Seto thought but then reminded himself that he's sick and he has to go to a psychiatrist as soon as he gets the chance. At that moment he noticed that it was still raining outside and Yami had no umbrella.

"Oh wait!" he called out all of sudden as Yami had almost gone out of the door.

"What?" the pharaoh questioned, looking at the other expectantly.

"Take this" Seto murmured and pressed an umbrella into Yami's hand, then he slammed the door in his face.

Yami blinked, feeling surprised and took a look at the umbrella. After a moment he smiled and made his way back home.
