"Now, why would someone's sexuality make them defective as a person?" Dr. Michelle asked. "Sure, many people may not agree with homosexuality, but there have also been many famous and important people who are homosexual, and these people have made a major impact on the community and the world as a whole." Seto froze. The never really did ask himself why he felt defective. Of course, Gozaburo Kaiba was famous for invading his mind and destroying his happiness with everything that he did. "Have you ever met someone who was gay, Mr. Kaiba?" A light bulb went off in his head.
"Actually, I have. She was a lesbian." "And did she have a wonderful life also?" Seto sighed. "It wasn't exactly wonderful." She worked for us and she was the only person in the household who cared for myself and my little brother. The other employees watched her every move like a hawk and would report every wrong move to my step father, who would beat her mercilessly." "I hope you don't mind me asking, but why did she not find another place of employment?" Michelle asked. "Because she loved us." Seto responded. "She always reminded us that if you love someone, you do not give up on them."
There was a very long pause on the other line. "I know that you were originally scheduled to have your first in person appointment in a couple of weeks, but if you are comfortable, I would really like to talk about this subject with you in person tomorrow, if that is acceptable with you." Seto agreed. "Of course. I just have to finish school tomorrow, and I'll be at your office just before four o'clock." "Alright, Mr. Kaiba. See you then. Also, I just wanted to say that you are very brave for opening up about this touching subject." With that, Seto heard a loud click on the other line.
With everything that had happened this week, Seto Kaiba had forgotten that the high school presidential election took place tomorrow. It was originally supposed to take place a week from then, but the ever-impatient Mrs. Matthew's demanded that the event happened the next day, as she was a very busy woman with real life problems, as she had put it so honestly. On top of that, Seto had not even prepared a speech. Never mind that, though, as he knew exactly what he was going to say, and it was something that needed to be said for a long time, now.
Seto Kaiba did not look forward to the next day, that was for sure. He had his sexual problems with Joey Wheeler, and another equally terrible problem was that he had to give a speech in front of hundreds of students. Yes, he did have a company of his own and spoke publicly hundreds of times, but the thought of speaking in front of a school seemed entirely different to Seto. "Good luck today, bro. I know you'll be great." Mokuba encouraged. "Oh, and, don't worry so much about Joey." He winked.
The older brother wondered what the hell the younger meant with that comment, but he did not bother that morning. He gave the bushy haired noirette an affectionate hug goodbye. Being more affectionate was something that both brothers had promised with each other, and Mokuba was certainly pleased with Seto's accomplishments. "I've done some more planning for Kaiba Land over the weekend, would you like to look at it when you get home?" Mokuba seemed rather nervous and blushed. "Of course, Mokie. I'm so sorry I've forgotten to work on it with this tornado in my life."
Mokuba took his brother's hand in his own. "It's okay, I know you're trying." "Oh, that reminds me, Mokuba. I won't be home after school today, I actually have y first appointment tonight." "That's great! Are you nervous?" Seto nodded. "Yes, my doctor wants to talk about a particular subject, but I'm not sure how to go about it." Mokuba's face saddened, he knew all too well what his brother meant. "Well, I'm sure if it gets too hard, she won't force you to talk about it. You could also bring up your sexuality, or – ""The younger brother immediately stopped himself from continuing his sentence.
"…You… know, then?" Seto asked, incredulously. Mokuba sighed. "Yeah, sorry for eavesdropping. I just hear your phone conversations sometimes, you don't exactly whisper. It's not that I care who or what you are – or anything like that! Besides, I always sort of knew that you were a total bottom." Seto's face darkened a deep, tomato red. The older brother allowed his head to bang against the wall, not out of anger but from embarrassment. He wasn't sure exactly where his baby brother got this kind of talk from. "Please… go to school."
When Seto arrived at his locker, Joey Wheeler was waiting for him. "Eh, so…." The blonde greeted. The tall, brunette male cocked his head. Since he did not have the most developed social skills, Seto Kaiba was confused as how he was supposed to reply. This only earned a sigh from Joey. "Never mind." With that, Wheeler left the other teen to his own, lonesome thoughts. He wasn't sure if Joey was still pissed at him for what happened the other day, or if he had possibly forgiven him, or maybe he just pissed off Joey again. Sometimes, he really wished there was a guidebook on how to survive high school without being a total douche bag.
Before he even knew it, Seto was on stage about to give his speech to the entire school. Yugi and the others gave him some thumbs up, while Tristan and Duke sent Seto a scowl. While Joey Wheeler smirked with pride. "Well, I might not be able to beat you at duel monsters, but I'm sure as hell going to beat you today." Mrs. Matthews tested the microphones for each contestant. "All right Mr. Kaiba, you're up." Seto gulped nervously and leaned in very closely to his microphone. "My name is Seto Kaiba… andIlikehavingsexwithJoeyWheeler."
