Chapter Ten
Stomachaches
Tea awoke the next morning, a smile on her face. Ok, so she was not dreaming. She was staying with the Kaibas for three more weeks. Sitting up, she went into the bathroom and washed up then slipped into new tank top and caprice.
When she went downstairs, Mokuba was in the breakfast nook, feasting on pancakes, while Seto sat with a cup of coffee, reading the newspaper. Mokuba brightened when he saw her.
"Tea!" he exclaimed. "Sit down." She did so. "Do you like pancakes?"
"Yeah." In no time, a plate was brought in front of her.
"I'll bet I can eat mine faster than yours." Tea smirked.
"Oh it is so on." And they started scarfing their pancakes. Seto rolled his eyes and raised his newspaper higher so he would not have to watch the revolting display.
It ended in a tie (or at least, it was too close to call winner) so...yeah.
"Mokuba, you are going to get a terrible stomach ache later," Seto warned. Mokuba snorted a bit.
"Oh please, that is so not true." Seto sighed and finished his coffee then left for work.
He was putting the finishing touches on a new design to a ride he planned to install in Kaiba Land when his secretary beeped.
"Mr. Kaiba, you have a phone call."
"From who?" he asked. "I'm finishing up a project, it'd better be good."
"It's your brother, sir." Seto sighed again, knowing exactly what was coming.
"Patch him through."
"Yes sir."
Beep!
"Seto..." Mokuba moaned on the other end. Sighing yet again, Seto massaged his temples in frustration.
"Let me guess, you have a stomachache from scarfing down all of those pancakes, right?"
"Ugh, yes. You were right..." Mokuba groaned.
"And Gardener?"
"She has it too. Not as bad though...can you come here and help, please?" Mokuba begged.
"Fine. I'll be right there." Seto hung up the phone and closed his laptop then gathered up his things. Telling his employees to fill in for him, he went outside and into the limo then drove back to the mansion.
When Seto arrived, Mokuba and Tea were laying on the couch, Mokuba looked like he was really sick. His expression drooped, he was in a pain wrecked position, and groans kept coming from him.
Tea was sitting up, but was hunched a bit with her arms hugging her stomach and she was also groaning a bit. There was a bottle of antacid pills on the table, but it was not open.
"You know, it actually helps to take the antacid pills." They looked up at him.
"Hi Seto..." Mokuba managed to moan. Seto sighed and asked and maid to bring to glasses of water. She did so right away and Seto helped Mokuba take the pills. Tea was able to do so herself.
"There. Now you should lay in bed and try to sleep it off."
"Will you carry me upstairs, Seto?" Mokuba asked weakly. Seto sighed but picked Mokuba up and carried him up the stairs to his bedroom. He tucked poor little Mokey in, closed the blinds, and closed the door.
When he went downstairs, Tea was dead asleep on the couch. Those pills, oddly enough, had knocked her out. He looked at her sleeping form.
"If you were not here, Mokuba wouldn't have a stomachache." No answer. He frowned. "Why did I get you that CD, huh? What led me to do it?" he asked. Again, no answer.
Seto got a little frustrated by this, even though she was asleep and couldn't help it. He was slightly urge to wake her up with a few slaps or a kick, but his hand paused before her pale cheek.
Instead, the tips of his fingers lightly brushed her soft, auburn hair. It felt silky against his touch, almost like his trench coat. (Amazingly enough, Seto's trench coat is silk. Isn't that cool?) He looked at her.
"What in the world have you done to me, Gardener?" he asked. You guessed it, no answer. Seto stood up and picked her up bridal style, like the night of her attack. She felt so light in his arms.
He carried her upstairs, as he had done with Mokuba, and into her room and put her in her bed. After tucking her under the sheets, he lightly stroked her bangs aside. For a moment, he almost thought she had smiled in her sleep, just for a moment.
Two maids peeked in from the hall then dashed away, giggling a little.
"I think Mr. Kaiba likes that girl."
"Yes, yes. I think so too."
"Ooh, Yuri won't be too happy about that."
"Oh, no, no, no." The two maids giggled a bit before running to their posts.
Seto was now leaving Tea's room. In a way, he was satisfied and disappointed, yet he was unsure why. With these thoughts, he walked to his bedroom to work on his project.
Tis done. I hope you liked it as much as I did. The next few chapters are gonna be cutesy little Tea and Seto moments. Next will be a Tea dominant one verses Seto dominant. So, await the update and if I don't write something else you all read, Happy Thanksgiving!
