A Gift for Christmas
Disclaimer: I don't own YGO
A/N: this is just another chapter I wrote for this ficcie. I was bored and yeah, I liked this fic so I wrote another chapter for it. BTW, this chapter is called 'Aftermath'. Oh yeah, this is all in Ryou's POV, just so you know.
ENJOY!
---- Aftermath ----
That was Christmas two years ago. Now, two years later, we're all planning Jounouchi-kun and Mai-san's wedding with them - or, at least, trying to. Mai-san wants flashy and stylish but I don't think she's taken Jounouchi- kun's financial situation into consideration. Seto-kun makes a joke of this when we're at home (yes, I moved in with him and Mokuba-kun about a month after Christmas). He says he won't help them financially, but I've got a way to convince him to . . .
As for mou hitori no boku, he and Malik/Marik-kun are still just screwing around. I'm glad I moved out, otherwise I think I might have suffered physical AND psychological damage just being around them too often. But that's like them, I guess. Mou hitori no boku doesn't seem the type to settle down (hah, if he ever did, I'd be head of KaibaCorp!).
Yami-kun and Yugi-kun get along so well, it almost scares the rest of us. After that Christmas, it just went all sickly sweet, sappy and - ugh. It's not like I have a thing against it - and it's not like they weren't like that before - but it's strange coming from Yami-kun. Sure, he likes to tease and such, but really! Yugi-kun says that it would be strange if Seto- kun was sweet and sappy and 'ugh' but then again, he doesn't see the Seto- kun I see.
I heard Yami-kun's trying to convince Mai-san to have an Egyptian-theme wedding. Good luck! Mai-san doesn't have the same preferences you do, Yami-kun . . .
Honda-kun and Anzu-san? They're fine, actually. Anzu-san finally buckled under and now they're dating. KAWAII! Of course, she still occasionally plays hard-to-get, but we all know she's soft on him. Won't take Honda-kun long to get her in Mai-san's position.
Mokuba-kun and Shizuka-chan are so kawaii! It's a shame they're too young to get officially engaged, but we all know it's only a matter of time. Funny thing is, Jounouchi-kun used to be against the whole idea of Shizuka- chan dating Seto-kun's otouto, but now he's all for the idea. People change, ne? But then again, I DID overhear him saying to Yugi-kun that Mokuba-kun 'isn't as bad as his baka niisama'. I don't know whether I should kill him for that or not, though mou hitori no boku isn't exactly against the idea . . .
Yugi-tachi still teases me sometimes about the song I sang that Christmas. Kami-sama, it's not like I want to be reminded of it! In case you're wondering, the song's called 'If I Can't Be Yours' and it comes from the anime 'Neon Genesis Evangelion'. Mou hitori no boku made me watch it with him because he wanted to see the guts and gore. I, personally, watched it for the music. They have great mood music.
"I could learn to play it for you," Seto-kun had offered when I told him.
Did I forget to mention that Seto-kun is a really good musician as well as duellist and businessman? He took up music as a means of escape from his adopted tousan and now he can play the piano and the violin. Sophisticated ne? I wish I were as brilliant as he is. Mokuba-kun is learning the cello and I'm trying to - keyword, trying - learn the violin. Then again, I might try to learn the flute instead.
So where am I now?
Good question, minna. Well, I've kinda become Seto-kun's left hand when it comes to managing affairs. I take care of the consumer affairs department at KaibaCorp. Kami-sama knows I couldn't manage marketing or finance even if my life depended on it! No, my skills are more directed at the advice and helping side of things, that's why Seto-kun offered me this position. He trusts me to do well and I do - I enjoy it immensely.
Mokuba-kun, the little genius-to-be, is still Seto-kun's personal assistant. The boy's smart, to be sure, but sometimes a little overconfident. The endearing thing about him is that he's totally and utterly dedicated to his niisama. He took our relationship extremely well for a youngster and I know Seto-kun's very proud of him. I sure am.
I'm also pretty sure he's the one who's slipping obvious and unsubtle hints to Seto-kun and myself about our romance. There was that one time the mansion had a total blackout and Seto-kun and I had just happened to be in the same room and that very same room had a jammed lock - but get this: the lock was jammed from the outside. There's the fact that KaibaCorp and Seto- kun are so technologically advanced that it's impossible that, when a blackout or power failure occurs, there's no back-up system and that a lock Seto-kun himself designed would jam. If we can't blame Mokuba-kun, whom else is there?
I know he has good intentions for us all - well, in his own definition, that is - but couldn't he say straight out what he wanted? Or perhaps his hints lead to something that will sure shock us all? Is that why he doesn't want to say it?
Come to think of it, most of these 'hints' (more like practical jokes to me) end up so that: a) I have to stay in Seto-kun's room (no, we don't usually share a room - I'd like to stay a virgin until - well, until I'm ready and Seto-kun respects that!); b) we get locked in together; or c) we get asked all sorts of uncomfortable and rather embarrassing questions. These questions usually come from mou hitori no boku, who is rather demanding . . .
Does boku no koibito know that his brother is really, really frustrating sometimes?
But really, I'm happy now. I have a wonderful koibito (I call him that, even though we haven't done it yet, just because he's the love of my life) and mou hitori no boku doesn't beat me up or threaten me any more. Not to mention the fact that I now work in the most successful and prestigious company in the world and my movements are STILL not restricted - you can't get any better life than that. And tousan was worried that I wouldn't get anywhere in life . . .
And it was all thanks to that Christmas game we played two years ago.
---- End ----
A/N: there! A short little follow up of what happened after the first chapter. I was bored, like I said, so I wrote this. REVIEW!
---- Translations ----
Mou hitori no boku: the other me/the other half of me. This is actually what Yugi calls Yami, but it's the same for Ryou.
Kawaii: cute, adorable
Otouto: little brother
Boku no koibito: my lover, my love, my sweetheart. 'Koibito' means lover/love/sweetheart, while 'boku no' means 'my'.
