Birthday Crass

Seto despised his birthday. He hated that it always seemed to fall on a school day. He loathed coming to school and having gifts forced on him by girls and teachers. He wished he could just skip his birthday all together. But, since he forced his brother to go to school on his birthday, Seto had to do the same. Because what sort of role model would he be if he didn't practice what he preached?

Narrowing his eyes at the mountain of gifts and cards on his desk, he growled softly and walked over to it. The various girls watched with bated breath to see what he would do, whether he chose to keep any of the cards or not. However, the brunet was not interested. Snorting in contempt, he slammed his hand down on the desk and shoved all of the gifts and cards off, then sat down, opened his briefcase, and pulled out his laptop to begin to work.

However, a few minutes into his work, he heard some whispers and a giggle nearby, forcing him to look up. He was slightly surprised to find Yugi pushing Joey in his direction, but he was more annoyed. "Can I help you?"

Joey scowled, opened his mouth to say something, closed it, then looked away quickly, blushing a little. "Here."

Seto blinked as something was shoved into his arms, then looked down at it. Big blue eyes peered up at him from a white face, framed by three black lashes. He was holding a Blue-Eyes plushie—but not one he'd ever seen before, and he definitely didn't have this one sitting on his bed (which was surprising, because he had like… fifty). He raised an eyebrow, then glanced back up at the blond.

Yugi smiled brightly. "I designed it and Joey made it. Happy birthday, Kaiba!" Seeing the brunet's eyebrow twitched, he quickly retreated back to his desk.

Joey had also seen the older boy's eyebrow twitch. He was not okay with that. Growling, he slammed his hand down on the brunet's shoulder, startling him. "Seto Kaiba, if ya throw that plushie away, I'm gonna find ya and I'm gonna kill ya. Got it?"

Seto found it in his best interest to nod, so he did so. "Alright, fine." He narrowed his eyes, then lifted a hand to grab the blond's collar, yanking him down to eyelevel. "But if you think you're getting away with this pitiful display then you are sorely mistaken, mutt."

"…Hmm." The blond smiled slightly, trying to make it look like a smirk as much as possible as he added in a whisper, "Well, I was plannin' on visitin' my boyfriend tonight. I dunno if I can afford wastin' time in another display for ya, Kaiba."

The older boy chuckled softly, chancing a nip at his ear, though to anyone else, he could have been trembling with rage and snapping at him in a whisper. "Well, I wouldn't want you to miss a date with your boyfriend. …Though your boyfriend does expect a better gift tonight…"

Leaning back quickly, Joey blushed, scowling at him. "It's not a gift if ya get it all the time!"

"Mm." Seto narrowed his eyes slyly. "It is when you get the gift in a different package."

The blond sputtered in embarrassment, for some reason easily translating 'a gift in a different package' to 'we're trying something new tonight when we have sex.' "Y-y-you-! Agh! Go t' hell!" he snapped finally, before turning and stomping over to his desk.

The older boy turned back to the plushie in his hands and couldn't help a small, amused smile. Perhaps he could get Joey to make more. Though he had to wonder… why did Joey think anyone would ever find out about their relationship with the way they acted around each other?
