After getting annoyed by his employees for an entire month Seto gave Roy a promotion to handing out dinners to every Kaiba Corp Employee on the first floor. It was a big floor too. They left him alone for a week than they started hounding him again saying he needed another promotion, and telling him how cute and shy his brother was, Seto had observed on and off for a month then agreed but first he needed to find a replacement . His brother had been doing the job of at least four people . Kaiba Corp provided perfectly balanced meals to it's workers depending on when they worked. This was mainly so their significant others didn't complain too much .
Seto finally promoted his brother to office boy. Of course wanting to push Roy to his limits it was again for the whole first floor. This time he got two full weeks of piece before they began annoying him about giving him another promotion. They were all asking if he could be assigned to their office as office boy and only their office because he was so quick and efficient.
On top of all that Roy hadn't done anything Seto saw as wrong in all that time and that meant he hadn't even spoken to or looked at Yugi and his gang. Joey still tried to be around Roy but never talked to him and Seto could see it straining their whole group they all wanted to make friends with his brother for some reason. Of course he wasn't stupid he knew that Joey had a crush on his brother he wasn't blind after all and it was so obvious.
Right now Seto was trying to figure out where to assign his brother. He suddenly sneered he had the perfect place and would be able to see if his brother had the basic understanding on how to work computers. He'd assign him a desk job in the archive department. It was the lowest desk job he had available . Well it wasn't available but reports said that they needed help. Maybe Roy could do something about it.
He found himself leaving the office at the same time as Roy tonight. That was rare. He decided to follow his brother and see his nightly routine. First stop a restaurant that was known to be cheap but have amazing food and a wide verity as well. The second stop Duelist Park. He watched as the local duelists greeted him like old friends. He also watched Roy shy away from them unless he was challenged to a duel. He watched as Seven happy kids surrounded his brother begging for duels and swearing that they had at least one knew card and to please use a weaker deck. At this Roy's eyes went soft and he dueled them with a side deck of random cards he'd won, from them, over the last two months. They were really weak but Roy still won. Roy then sat and tried to help them learn strategy and the best way to use their cards.
When the kids parents came looking for them, they were Moki's age 13, they insisted on introducing him to their parents.
"Oh, so you're Roy. " one of the girl's mother said, "My little Florina is always going on about Dueling with you. " she looked a little uncertain. "How old are you?"
"18." he replied, "I pass through here on my way home from work and I like to duel. " he shrugged. "Don't worry I have a brother their age. "
He waved to them and walked off toward home. Seto followed sure enough Roy went straight home ignoring Yugi and his gang the whole time.
Roy walked into study hall once again wondering how the hell it had ended up on his schedule . This class was torture because he wanted nothing more than to talk to Joey and his friends but he couldn't he knew Seto would be mad if he did and he'd been really good lately. He sat down in his seat and as always set to work on his homework. As always Joey and his gang sat in front of him and dueled.
Seto watched rather amused about how this was turning out. He had a bet going with himself on how long it was going to take Joey to crack. Sometime in the next week and Seto was going to buy a bicycle for Roy to ride around.
As if fate was laughing at him Joey turned in his seat to look at Roy.
"Hey, Roy, want to go to Burger Palace with us tonight?" Roy didn't respond. "Still not talking to me huh?" Joey turned his chair around and put his elbow on Roy's desk his chin on his fist. "So , Yugi says there's a card swap meet at his gramps shop this weekend you should stop in it could really boost your deck."
"I believe the mutt is talking to you , Roy." Seto said, Roy looked up. "Why don't you answer him."
"I have to work tonight . I just got a promotion." Roy said, returning to his work. "As for this weekend I'll be working to learn what I need to know for the job I am now working. Please leave me alone."
"You work everyday don't you? "Joey asked, " You work way too hard."
"You have to work hard if you want to get anywhere." Roy said without thinking or noticing that Seto had claimed the desk next to him.
"But don't your brother run the company you're working for?"
"He had to prove himself in order to take over. " Roy replied, working on his math. "now I'm working to prove myself. "
Joey hummed he was busy staring mindlessly at Roy.
"When's your next day off?"
"Dunno."
Seto rolled his eyes maybe it wasn't a good idea to let them talk. But he had found out some useful information.
Roy sat staring at the computer screen in front of him working diligently one lesson was all it took for him to get the hang of things and the rest he just figured out for himself if he got it wrong someone would tell him so he didn't do it again. He was completely focused on his task and was working as fast as he could. He didn't see that everyone was in awe of how fast he had caught on or how diligent he was in his given task.
"Wow, he must be some kind of genius like his brother." said a Scottish woman, "With his help we may very well be able to get through the back log. "
"Those logs go back to the beginning of the company." an Irish man said, "There's no way we could do that even with Master Roy's help. "
"Back to work !" The boss yelled, "Let the kid work."
Roy's eyes flitted across the screen his hands working quickly on the key pad.
"AH!" Roy burst into the park and over to the kids. "Sorry I'm so late ." he said, trying to catch his breath. " I got so caught up in my work that I stayed long after my shift was over. ."
"That's okay." Florina said, blushing. "We're really glad you made it. Besides someone else came around for us to crush."
"You mean you're actually winning?"
"I've won twice. " She said, leading him to the table. "He wont give up. Says he wants to beat his brother."
"Moki!" Moki looked over to see a shocked Roy. "Glad to see you decided to come out. "
"You've got a lot of work to do." Shin said, "We haven't lost to Roy once. "
Moki sighed that was great just great.
