Seto Day: Home

~.~.~.~.~

Yawning after he entered the base, Seto's eyes roamed around the dark room. It was late, so he didn't really expect anyone waiting for him. This was normal; really, it had been like that for a year ever since he started working late. Kido would always leave the leftover dinner in the fridge for him to show she cared about his wellbeing, but it just felt empty when there was no one here to say…

"Welcome home, Seto..." The tall teenage boy jumped at the soft voice, surprised. Walking towards the center of the room, he spotted a small figure curled up on one of the black couches, her white hair covering her form like a blanket.

"Mary?" Seto whispered as he kneeled down before the small girl. Normally she should have already retired to her room at this time, yet here she was, snuggled on the couch in her pink night gown.

Not hearing him, Mary continued to sleep soundly as she whispered again. "Welcome home..."

The boy stared at her with wide eyes, before they soften as he smiles. Patting her head, Seto wondered how long she had stayed awake waiting for him, before she dozed off. It amazed him how such a fragile girl, who feared her eyes like he and his friends did, would have such a big heart to wait for him.

"C'mon, Mary," he whispered again as he lifted her petite body into his arms. "Let's get you to bed."

The only response he got was the medusa wrapping her arms around his neck.

Making his through the dark base to Mary's room, Seto skilfully dodged all the furniture that threatened to trip him. Luckily they didn't have doorknobs in the base, so nudging the handle with an elbow was as easy feat. One he was in, Seto placed Mary on the bed, a blanket over form. Satisfied, Seto was about to leave, only to be stopped by a hand grabbing the bottom of his overall.

"Seto..." Mary mumbled impatiently in her sleep, which shocked the young teen greatly. What was wrong with her? Hand still on his outfit, Mary gave it a swift tug as her cheeks puffed up, whispering very softly, "...home..."

It took a moment for him to understand, but it made him smile. Kneeling down beside the bed, Seto patted her head again as he replied.

"I'm home, Mary."

The smile on the girl's face lit up.

Deceiver: Short, pointless, and it was meant to be a fluffy SetoMary drabble T_T I can't promise I'll get Kano's done since I haven't started on his yet (a sort of KanoKido oneshort/fanfic to boot) but I'll try…if I can't make it…well I'll guess I have to upload Shintaro's Day oneshot when it's appropriate.
