Cookie Jar XI.

The kiss was on Seto's mind since that was his first time kissing a girl. Of course, he would never tell her that and hoped that he was Shizuka's first as well. It's was already the fourth day and it felt like they have learned a lot from each other. Especially the authors knowing so much about them that he rose eyebrows when he researched himself. Not only there were stories between them, but art as well.

*Knock *Knock *Knock

The sound interrupted his thoughts as he got up to reach the door. He opened it and was shocked to see who was at the door.

"Mokuba, what are you doing here?" Seto gulped as sweat began to form.

Mokuba rose an eyebrow alone with Rebecca. The couple have been together for years and went to Shizuka's place to visit.

"I should be asking you the same thing," Mokuba replied as Rebecca crossed her arms.

Seto had no idea what to say.

"Have you planned to threaten Shizuka? You know brother you need to stop threatening at least the innocent people in this city and-" Mokuba was upset Shizuka was so independent and working hard that Kaiba shook his head.

"It's not like that," Kaiba said telling his brother the truth.

"Then, what?" Rebecca was, too, upset.

"Well, can we at least come in?" Mokuba decided to walk in along with Rebecca, pushing his older brother aside.

Kaiba remembered treating his brother ugly when they were young. Which is another reason why the authors and people thought of him to be an ass.

"So, Shizuka..." as the young couple sat on the couch acting like they were defending their kind-warmhearted friend.

"I'm on vacation-" Kaiba changed the subject, and Mokuba held his hand up.

"You insult Yugi and the gang. Everyone in the whole city knows you're in ugly terms with Katsuya. Now, you're picking on of the most kind-warmhearted person in Battle City. Seriously, brother what did she do to you to offend you-" Seto got a bit angry as he heard those words.

"I said it's not like that! I'm on vacation and just needed to get out the estate. I saw Shizuka walking home by herself and a downpour happened out of nowhere. I insisted to give her a ride home, and she kept declined, but the weather got so bad that she told me to stay," Seto said truthfully shocking Mokuba.

"I just find it hard to believe," Mokuba eyed him suspiciously.

"What now?"

"Well, one, since when do you pick a girl up? Two, you actually stayed over Shizuka's house. Three, you're on vacation which never happens. Last but not least..." Mokuba paused.

"Last but not least..."

"I noticed when I got home this morning my cookies vanished," Mokuba said trying to trick his brother.

"We can go to the store right now and-" Kaiba eyes widened as he slipped up.

"Since when did my brother approve of snacks?" Mokuba crossed his arms and arched his left eyebrow.

Shit! He knows.

"I can explain," Seto blew his cover.

"Brother, did it ever occur to you that have two laptops? One was for my business and college, and the other was for personal matters. Geezus, Seto I feel like there is no trust between us," Mokuba was pissed.

"Mokie," Seto started to say.

"Quit calling me that! I'm not ten years old anymore! I'm a grown man!" Mokuba yelled when all of a sudden the door opened.

"Everything alright?" Shizuka showed concern.

"Are you okay? Did my brother threaten you?" Mokuba stood up as Rebecca walked to her to help her with her groceries.

"Yeah. Everything is fine. No, your brother didn't threaten me. What's going on?" Shizuka was a bit shock.

"Fan fiction," Mokuba said as Seto's eyes widened as he gulped again.

"What about it?" Shizuka looked at Seto and noticed he slumped down the wall again. She rushed over to him hoping that he wasn't affected by his fever.

"He's known all along before he met you," Mokuba spat out as Shizuka's eyes widened with shock.

"Is it true, Kaiba?" she asked hoping it was a lie.

"Yes. I lied knowing about the site," Kaiba truthfully said.

Shizuka looked at Mokuba, "The site is not a big deal. The problem is lying. I support the site as well as your brother. "

"What do you mean you support my brother?" Mokuba was shocked to hear those words come out of Shizuka.

"Mokuba, your brother insisted to file charges against the site," Shizuka started to make her point across.

"Sounds like something my brother would do," Mokuba sat up as Rebecca placed her hand on his left shoulder.

"Do you know why he didnt?" Shizuka looked at Seto and smiled.

Kaiba couldn't believe that someone other than his brother was supporting him.

"I don't know why," Mokuba answered.

"Imagine shutting down the site you lose more than eighty percent of people that gives the back bone to your company?" Shizuka raised her hand to Seto to check his status.

She was now happy that his fever was now gone. Seto pulled her to him by wrapping his arms around her waist. Mokuba and Rebecca stood there shock to see what Seto had done. Mokuba realized that he too blew things out of proportion and didn't want that to affect his life and relationship with not only his girlfriend but to the people. Mokuba smiled, "I apologize for my actions. I just got upset because my brother looked into my personal computer without my consent."

"Would you have done the same if the role was vice-versa? Imagine being in Seto's shoes for once," Seto buried his face in her shoulder as she felt her sleeve become wet. Realization hit her since she knew Kaiba was just doing anything to protect and help his brother.

"Yes, you're right. I would have probably done the same," Mokuba smiled and bowed.

"I think we should go," Rebecca whispered to Mokuba. He nodded in agreement and wanted to leave immediately from all the embarrassment.

"We're going to go ahead and take off now," Mokuba said as Shizuka turned her head to nod but Seto never once looked up. He felt a shamed of himself.

"I'm sorry, brother." Mokuba said with a smile and Seto looked up and replied the same thing.

Shizuka gently wiped Seto's tears away from his cheeks. Mokuba and Rebecca left closing the door behind them. She pulled Seto closer and leaned his head forward to give a kiss on his cheek.

"Don't lie to me ever again, please," Shizuka demanded politely as Seto pulled her closed and kissed her lips.

Pardon my grammar. I'm sorry it took a while to upload a chapter. I've been really busy since I recently got a new job.
