A/N: Special thanks to Flame Body, Toxic Hathor, mochiusagi, ShadowDragon93, -The-Shadow-Realm- for reviewing the previous chapter.

To those who read this fic but did not leave a review, thanks for your time to actually reading it. ^^

Warning: Seto/Yami (Prideshipping). No like-y. No read-y. And also foul language coming out of Seto's mouth.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh. I don't own their characters. Kazuki Takahashi owns them. I do own, however, the plot of this story and all their stupid nonsense. You can take the flu if you want.

-S-Y-S-

Only because he was Seto Kaiba's younger brother, he was automatically assumed that he was just a spoiled little brat like any other rich kid. Someone who only spend most of his time playing video games. Someone who buys every toy that the world could offer. Someone who's only purpose in life was being a perfect candidate to be kidnapped, and use him against the olderKaiba to make the latter follow them against his will. Oh no.

Mokuba Kaiba was nothing like the rumors said. Na-ah-ah. True, he was granted with everything he wanted, and practically anything he needed. He was indeed always being taken in order to blackmail his older brother. Always. It sounded like he has an awful life, he knew that. However, he was more than what most people think, more than on what he seemed to be in the outside. He was, after all, a Kaiba. And whether people believe it or not, he also has the skills and wits of a Kaiba. He just used it more subtly than other. And pretty much in an entirely different situation.

At this moment, Mokuba was subtly attempting to make Seto get himself a special someone in his life. More like a lover. While growing up, Seto spent most of his life trying to give the younger the best environment for him, to give him the childhood the older never had. Mokuba was very grateful with that. He felt very guilty as well. Seto never seemed to love himself as much as he loved the younger. To him, as long as Mokuba was happy, his own needs didn't matter. Little did Seto knew, it made Mokuba feel even worse about himself.

From then on, Mokuba tried to look for someone just for his brother. Someone who loves him. Someone who truly cared about him, aside from Mokuba, for being him. Mokuba knew that deep inside Seto was lonely. Deep inside there was a hole in his heart that Mokuba himself couldn't fill. Now that Seto was eighteen, the corporate world was trying to pair him up with various daughters of influential businessmen. Since he knew that they all of them were only after was either his name, power, and/or money, he ignored them all. When that didn't work, they paired him up with their sons. To Seto's annoyance, he barked at all of his suitors during one of their business parties. "I have no fucking interest to have any romantic relationship to any of you! I'd rather die than spend a second with you idiots. So get out of my sight before I have all of you killed." Any ordinary person might have thought that Seto could have publicly executed after that outburst right there and then. But a Kaiba was still a Kaiba . The name still has an influence all over the world. Whether they like it or not. After that, the number of suitors lessened. Though there was still a number who was presisten to be connected to the Kaibas' personal life. Stupid retards.

As soon as Mokuba discovered that Yami had a body of his own, he knew that the crimson-eyed duelist was the perfect candidate. Not that he didn't think females were no good to his brother. It was because Yami was probably the only one that caught Seto's interest. The ex-pharaoh could talk to him straight in the eye without cowering in fear. He could match wits with him. He could easily read what the brunet was thinking behind all the crap that was going out of the Seto's mouth. In Battle City, Yami showed that he has absolute trust on him. He never stopped trying to make Seto listen on what's right. Yami accepted him for being him. And on top of that, Seto secretly liked him. Mokuba knew that the ex-pharaoh did felt the same way. Yugi confirmed it. Yugi found it out when he accidentally heard Yami's thoughts through their mind link.

In other words, both Yami and Seto actually like each other. Though both of these idiots consistently deny it. Now, how to manifest it into love?

Mokuba has already set the stage of his plan. Tomorrow, both players would be present. He made sure that all staff, aside from security, would have a four-day holiday leave. So inside the Mansion would be totally deserted but the three of them by tomorrow.

Perfect.

The little boy wondered if he could do it alone. He knew he could somehow control Seto, being his younger brother and all. However, Yami was an entirely different matter. Mokuba didn't know how the other's mind works. As far as he could tell, the ex-pharaoh was always thinking. He was usually quiet and reserved. He simply observes people, rather than voicing out his thoughts. He was very dangerous that way, on top of his immense, recently awaken Shadow Powers. Well maybe except when he's in front of his brother. For very obvious reasons.

Mokuba's musings was disrupted when his mobile phone rang in his pocket. He pulled the item out, and put its receiver on his right ear.

"Hello?" He was quite surprised to hear the owner of the voice on the other line.

"Hello, Mokuba? It's Yugi. Let me be a part of this little scheme of yours."

Mokuba grinned wildly. He finally found an accomplice.

Absolutely perfect.

"Yami! What are you doing? Why are you still sleeping? You're going to go to Kaiba's Mansion today!" Yugi shouted as he burst into his recently became older brother's room. Once he reached the still sleeping form of the ex-pharaoh, he quickly removed the blanket that was covering him. Yami simply grunted, turned his back on Yugi, and continued sleeping.

Annoyed, Yugi shook Yami's shoulders hard. "Rise and shine!" When nothing happened, he shook it again and again. Again and again. Again and a--

"Come on! Wake-y, wake-y!" Yugi persisted. When that didn't work, he tapped through their mind link, which was surprisingly still existed even after they were separated, and then went into Yami's currently unguarded mind. Yugi cleared his own mind, focused all his energy to pass on one very powerful thought to the other, which said...

"YAMI!!! WAAAAKE UUUUUUP!" Yugi's voice echoed loudly in the entire room of Yami's mind. He could hear his words being repeated over and over through their shared mind.

"AAARGHH!" Crimson eyes suddenly blinked open. Unfortunately to Yami, the outburst also caused him to roll on his side and fell down his bed, his face first.

"Are you up now?" Yugi bend down to look at Yami's current situation, prepared to do the same trick again if necessary.

"Alright, alright, I'm up! Geez, you don't have to use the mind link for that." The ex-spirit said as he got on his feet, his left hand scratching the back of his head. He was wearing his black silk pyjamas from the night before. All signs of sleepiness were gone in his features.

"Well it's your important day today!" Yugi happily continued. Yami could swear he saw hundreds of stars twinkling in the other's eyes.

Confused on Yugi's words, he asked, "Important day? What do you mean by--?" He paused to turn and look at the nearby window, trying to see roughly what time it was now.

"Sweet mother of Hathor, Ra is not even up yet!" he exclaimed. He could not see anything beyond his bedroom window. It was, indeed, pitch black outside. Looking at his digital clock sitting on his bedside table, it was blinking the numbers '4.06'.

Yugi patted the ex-spirit's back. "Well you have to prepare, silly." He said it as if Yami was asking the most stupid question in the world.

"But I already packed!" Yami exclaimed. What more could he prepare for that need him to wake up three hours earlier than required?

"Not that one. I meant you! You need to look at your best."

"Huh?"

"Come on! Let's give you a nice bath. You need to look good, you know?" Yugi then swiftly pushed the other's back outside the room, and towards the bathroom. He then quickly stripped off all of Yami's clothing and shoved him in the already prepared, heavily scented, warm water filled bathtub.

"Wha--? Yugi!"

-S-Y-S-

A/N: Mokuba only had one line in this chapter. Funny. It seemed like I hate him or something. Gosh, I found it hard to write his point of view. He practically doesn't have any back story in the anime for me to base on.

Again, a filler. Please don't hurt me!

Thanks to –The-Shadow-Realm- for giving me some ideas for the fic. Love you JJ!! If you have any ideas for the fic, put it on a review or PM me. I'm more than glad to read it.

On the even happier note, it's my birthday today!!! So give me some love and review!
