Hey everyone! Thanks for all the positive feedback on this, hopefully you like this chapter just as much!
His room was blue.
Well, at least the walls were. The floors were hardwood, and the biggest thing in the room was the canopy bed. Why did one guy need such a big bed, anyway? Other than that, it was your pretty standard bedroom. A couple chests, a desk, nothing too fancy. Which was actually surprising, considering who's room was in question. I almost felt disappointed at the lack of decoration. Maybe I had been expecting a giant statue of a Blue Eyes or something. Either way, I had just been staring around Kaiba's room for a while, which made him give me a weird look. I took note that this wasn't the same room as this morning, which was a relief. At least I hadn't been sleeping in Kaiba's room.
God, that was only this morning?
Sighing in relief, I set the bags I had been carrying on the ground. Man, they were heavier than they looked! Pulling the clothes out, I started sorting them according to who they belonged to. It took all three of us about ten minutes to get the job done, and most of the clothes ended up in my pile.
Suddenly, Mokuba piped up "Seto? Can you try on the clothes Jou and I got for you? I wanna see how you look in them."
"No. Not a chance," Kaiba replied, his voice strong and defiant.
"Aww….please, big brother?" The big brown eyes stared up at his brother, threatening to overflow with tears. "Pretty please?" Man, that kid really knows how to act…
They stared at eachother for a long while before finally, Kaiba gave in.
"Fine."
Mokuba let out a cheer, but it was quickly cut off by his brothers voice again.
"But only if Jounochi tries on what I got for him."
I froze. Sure, I let him buy the ridiculous clothes, but I wasn't actually planning on wearing them. I was just gonna ditch 'em in my a closet back at my mom's house. But now, the kid's gaze was fixed on me. "Please, Jou?"
I hesititated. Damn, there was a reason Kaiba couldn't say no to this kid.
"Eh…I don't know Mokuba…"
"Pleeeeaaaaase?"
I sighed. There was no way I was getting out of this. ""Alright, fine. I'll do it."
Mokuba laughed happily. "Thanks Jou!"
Grumbling under my breath, I snatched up the specified clothes from my pile and trudged over to the bathroom. "Is it ok if I use this, Kaiba?" I turned back to him. "Then you can change out here."
"That's fine." He sounded peeved, and I didn't blame him.
It was still pretty funny, though. Smirking, I said "Hey Mokuba, you might want to get a video camera out for this. People will never believe that the great Seto Kaiba was actually wearing jeans."
"Shut the hell up, Jounochi."
Mokuba was giggling in the backround.
"Watch your language, Kaiba," I sang before darting into the bathroom and quickly shutting the door behind me. I was still grinning when I put on the black slacks and plain white dress shirt. There was a red tie along with it, but I've never worn a tie in my life and have no idea how to put one on. Shrugging, I just hung it around my neck and emerged from the bathroom. Luckily,, Kaiba was already dressed, and glaring at me as I walked over to him. I ignored it, since that was the look he gave me most of the time. It was better than that smug ass smirk he had.
"Wow, not bad, Kaiba," I commented on his new apparel. "You could almost pass for a normal teenager." He was in dark jeans that hugged his hips, and a light blue and grey striped V-neck. He still had on his necklace and, honestly, the outfit looked pretty good on him.
He rolled his eyes and took a step closer to me. "It's not surprising that you don't know how to tie this." He reached out and grabbed both ends of the tie, and it was then that I heard a click from the doorway. Looking over, it turned out to be Mokuba, holding a camera. "Hey!" I complained, turning towards him.
"I can't do this if you're moving, mutt." He grabbed my shoulders and turned me back towards him. I felt my shoulders tense up at his touch, but I remained where I was. "You don't need to move me, Kaiba. I can control myself." We stood there in silence for a moment, and I was becoming a bit uncomfortable with how close he was, when he raised an eyebrow and looked at me.
"What, nothing to say about the mutt comment?" His warm breath washed over my face, smelling like mint.
"Do you want one?" I stared at him, expecting an answer, but he just stared back. A moment went by like that before he finally said '"No, that's fine. It's done."
I blinked. "Huh?"
He rolled his eyes. "Your tie, moron. It's done."
"Oh, right." I cleared my throat, backing away. What was my problem? It's like I'm getting embarrassed or something, but there's nothing to get embarrassed over. Especially not this rich bastard. If Kaiba realized I was acting weird, though, he didn't say anything.
"Well, it would help if you tucked in the shirt," he criticized. "But overall, not too bad. Obviously an improvement from before."
"Oh, come on Seto!" Mokuba said, stepping into the room. "Girls will be all over Jou if he dresses like this!" I felt the blood rush to my face, but I shook it off and laughed.
"Yeah, right, kid." Kaiba snickered, and I walked over to the pile of clothes, bending down and grabbing the rest of my pile. "Well, I'm going to hang out with all the girl's who are into me, in my room." Not that I knew where my room was. I looked back and forth at them. "One a you guys wanna show me where it is?"
"I'll do it," Kaiba grudgingly volunteered. "Mokuba, can you go downstairs and tell the cooks to start making lunch?" He nodded, and was gone in a second. Was it really only lunch time? Noticing a digital clock on a table next to the bed, I affirmed that it was around one. Thinking about it, I was pretty hungry. We hadn't gotten anything to eat at the mall, and Kaiba hadn't fed me this morning.
"Mokuba's room is down the hall to the right," he said, walking out of his bedroom. "And yours is to the left." We walked past the double doors leading to the library across from the main staircase, and turned into the room next to it.
The bed wasn't a four-post like Kaiba's, but it was big. The walls were a light green color and the carpet was white. "Well," I commented. "It's better than what I had at home."
"Yeah, well don't get used to it."
Ah, so he was going back to being an asshole. Walking over to the bed, I dropped my clothes onto it.
"Thank god I can finally change out of this." Kaiba hadn't even tied the tie very tight, but it was still starting to bug me.
"For once, I actually agree with you." He turned to leave. "Mokuba was right though. You do look nice." I blinked. First he buys me clothes, and then compliments me? He really must fell bad about what happened.
"Yeah," I replied, still a little stunned. "You too." He left the room without saying anything else.
As I put on the clothes I had been wearing before, I couldn't stop thinking about the fact that Kaiba had actually complimented me.
Maybe he really does have feelings.
