Super shorty. Written on request for someone on tumblr. Kaiba and OC (Merina Hika) go to a costume party.
The OC is hers: merinalopez on Tumblr
"This is ridiculous… I feel ridiculous." Kaiba grumbled, opening the car door for Merina to get out. "Why I let you pick my outfit, I'll never know."
Merina grinned at him. "You look fine!"
He snorted. "I look like Jack Skelington or some shit…"
"You do not. His suit is black with white pinstripes." She frowned at him. "Are you going to be grumpy all night?"
Kaiba was about to say yes, but Merina had been looking forward to the party all week, and he didn't want to ruin it for her.
With a sigh, he forced his mouth into a smirk. "No. But I still feel ridiculous."
The suit he was wearing wasn't too bad; the blazer front was white, and the back, collar, and buttons were black, as were the slacks he was wearing. The button up shirt under it was black as well. He thought Merina pulled her outfit off much better, wearing a long, white sleeveless dress that faded to black at the bottom.
Merina watched him a moment, then said, "You're gonna stay grumpy, aren't you?"
Kaiba smirked, but it was more genuine this time. "No, it'd be rude of me to ruin the whole night for you." He held his hand out to her. "Are we going inside, then?"
Merina smiled and took his hand. "Okay, let's go."
The whole situation, in Kaiba's mind, could be blamed on Mokuba. For some unfathomable reason, this was what he had decided to do for his birthday this year (probably on account of wanting to seem more mature), and he'd invited basically everyone he knew. Which included the dweebs.
Kaiba led Merina inside, determined to ignore the negative things for once in his life.
