Chapter Five: Talk About Nothing

            It was quite strange seeing the two sitting at the table together, just sitting there and barely speaking to one another. I'm not sure if it was due to my presence or just the empty air of anger from whatever they had been quarreling about. When Kaiba had first appeared and thrown me up against the wall, I could tell he was blatantly jealous. It was a clear indication that he held some sort of feelings toward Seral. In some ways, it might be a good thing, in others it could be quite bad indeed.

            "We need to talk."

            When those words found their way to my ears, I was quite surprised that Kaiba had been the one to initiate the conversation between the two. By the way Seral had spoken to me earlier, I had thought Kaiba was the one to do wrong, considering her condition at the school. But he spoke now as though they had both done wrong and needed to come into the open about it. Either way, I was clearly going to stay out of this and be Seral's support. I was actually afraid that Kaiba might act violently toward her if she said something out of line. Than again, she had slapped him earlier and he had simply yelled, but had not taken one step toward her.

            "So talk," I heard Seral say, looking at him rather nervously.

            Perhaps she was nervous about them exchanging private information in front of me. She had made it quite clear to me that the two had been having an intimate relationship for sometime now but that wasn't going to make me sway the table. If they felt uncomfortable in front of them than I would simply leave.

            "If you two care to be alone-" I had started but I was surprised when Kaiba was the one to stop me.

            "You're fine," He simply interrupted,"It's obvious that we need someone else to hear this anyway. You can stay as long as you don't push anything."

            I simply nodded in return and relaxed knowing that he was comfortable. I had never assumed Seto Kaiba to be so willing to openly communicate in front of those besides the ones closest to him. I surely had a little more respect for the man now. Seral on the other hand, seemed to me leery of what he was going to say. Either he was good at just saying what would make her feel better or she was afraid he was going to end what they had permanately. I just hoped for the best for both of them.

            "I really don't care what you say," I suddenly heard Seral's voice harden,"It doesn't make up for anything I saw in the hallway."

            I watched and saw Kaiba's face pale slightly at her words. Obviously I was missing something on that part. She failed to tell me anything about what she had seen in the hallway.

            "It meant nothing," Kaiba tried to defend himself, "I was trying to make you jealous... it got out of hand."

            I watched Seral's eyebrow lift slightly,"You fucked her didn't you?"

            My eyebrow shot up at her question as well. I did not know that Kaiba cheating was what caused her to become so upset earlier today. If I had known that, I probably wouldn't have suggested that we have the conversation here. It would likely result in another scene like the one we had made earlier.

            Kaiba hesitated and than looked at her seriously,"Yes."

            Seral's eyes immediately began to water and I reached over to squeeze her shoulder lightly in comfort. Kaiba didn't seem to mind my action and I realized that he had just confessed the truth to her. It was better than lying to her and saying he didn't for that would have caused more trouble than it was worth.

            "Why?" Was all Seral could say as she fought back tears,"Why would you do this..? You said it yourself that you would never be with anyone else. That I was the only one you were with."

            "I didn't lie when I said that," Kaiba insisted,"I was telling you the truth when I said that! Gardener and I have never slept together before today! I didn't even push it that far, she was the one who wrapped herself around me and wanted more!"

            My mouth practically hung open at his words. It was quite the predicament. I had no idea that Tea had been the one that he had cheated on Seral with. I was even more surprised that she was with Yugi and she still had gone and done this. Kaiba seemed keen in saying she had wanted more and he had merely wanted to make her jealous but I still was in disbelief. Tea hated Kaiba and…… yet she slept with him? I was confused.

            Seral balled her fists as two stray tears slid down her cheeks,"I don't care, Seto. This wasn't fair to me - it just wasn't!"

            I could tell by Kaiba's expression that he was distressed at her sudden crying.

            "I know," Kaiba had told her as I continued to listen,"I told you, Seral. I'm a fucking bastard. I'm weak when it comes to sex and even you know that. I was just scared off by the fact that our deal had suddenly turned into more."

            Deal? They had contained a deal? I was confused by this comment but kept my mouth shut at the nagging question. It was better to just listen in and not interrupt.

            "That doesn't give you the right to hurt me!" Seral suddenly said angrily,"Just because I love you doesn't give you the right to hurt me!"

            Kaiba suddenly reached and grabbed her hands, catching both me and Seral by suprise. He had never touched anyone like that in public, especially anyone close to him. I must say, it was very odd to watch. He held her hands in his, leaning forward to kiss them. I was impressed by his sudden romantic whim, especially considering he was displaying the action in front of me and in the middle of a public resturaunt.

            "Look at me Seral," He had said after he placed a kiss upon her hands,"I am going to tell you the truth right now."

            Seral looked a little dazed by the sudden contact,"The truth?"

            "Yes, the truth," Kaiba repeated, still holding onto her hands,"I love you."

            My eyes were the size of dinner plates, I'm sure. I had just witnessed the impossible, Kaiba had just confessed his love to Seral, who was in fact, another living, breathing, person. I know its quite a horrible thing to say but even I thought it was quite impossible for him to express his feelings so openly. I looked at Seral's expression and was surprised to see it was contorted into a look of anger. She didn't look quite as happy as I had thought she was going to be. Instead, she was pulling her hands away from him and narrowing her eyes at him.

            "You jerk," Seral said to him, leaving both him and me quite confused,"You expect me to believe this after you used me, raped me and cheated on me? I'm sorry, but I just can't."

            Rape? Another piece left out of the puzzle. Now I was quite sure this was not the place for this type of conversation. Even more so, I was now questioning her safety considering she had dropped the word rape in front of me. If Kaiba was capable of such a horrible act, than maybe she shouldn't be with this man after all. It was very clear that Kaiba was equally enraged.

            "This is how you respond?!" He barked angrily at her,"Do you know how fucking long it took me to gather as much fucking courage as I could to tell you that I love you?! And THIS is how you react?!"

            "How do you expect me to react?!" She replied, her voice rising and causing me to dart my eyes around to see if anyone was noticing.

            "Did you think I was just going to jumpe into your arms after all you put me through?!" She suddenly shouted at him,"I don't care if you love me now you insensitive, selfish asshole!"

            I was beginning to panic. Others were looking at us again, this time in surprise at the sudden loudness of Seral. I tried to calm her down but she only walked away from me as Kaiba rose from his seat, his face filled with anger.

            "You should be saying those things about yourself as well, Seral," Kaiba snapped,"This is coming from someone who just screamed at me for confessing what you have been fucking nagging me about to confess! And now, you just suddenly can't handle it and decide that I'm not good enough for you! Well newsflash, we both know I'm not good enough for you! It just took you too damn long to notice!"

            Seral looked at him surprised and I was floored. Kaiba had just confessed alot more emotion than he obviously intended to and the weird part was he wasn't finished. Not by a long shot.

            "Look at me, Seral!" Kaiba shouted once she averted her gaze at his outburst,"I am a fucking buisnessman with loads upon loads of nothing but fucking disgusting money! Did you honestly think I thought you would stay with me for this long?! I know I'm a fucking bastard you nor anyone else needs to tell me that. If anything, I assumed you were cheating on me this whole entire time, I just never fucking said anything. You could be with any guy you fucking wanted and here you were with no one but me! A selfish, insensitive, greedy bastard who cares about nothing but his younger brother and a fucking card game!"

            "Seto-" Seral's voice had softened considerably.

            "Let me finish," He barked in anger, raising his hand to silence her," If anything Seral, I was going to apologize for everything but you sat there and rejected me when I finally had the nerve to tell you I'm in love with you! A billionaire doesn't fall in love, Seral! He just doesn't! I worked up everything to fucking hide that fact but I finally decided to be a man and tell you how I really feel but all you did was brush it off!! What more do you fucking want?! You want me to buy you a fucking car, a fucking house?! What do you want, I'll do anything just don't turn me away! I've fucking given up everything for you, I'd do anything you want... just don't..."

            I watched as his voice and face both softened in desperation and longing. I listened as his voice came out choked, as though he wasn't sure if she'd believe him.

            "..don't leave me.. please.."

            Both Seral and Kaiba jumped slightly as the impact of his words hit them at the same time. I was extremely surprised as they both were but I couldn't help but smile slightly at the tone of sincerity in his words. He truly wanted to be with her and would go to any lengths to stay with her. It was quite a touching moment and I could have sworn I saw a slight tint of pink upon Kaiba's cheeks. It has been quite a day. I must say, I have never seen a couple as incredibly strange as the one that's standing before me.

            Now's there's nothing but a loud heavy air of silence. Seral just stood there, looking at him, her gaze looking upon the man before her. I couldn't help but looked to the door of the coffee house, hoping that maybe this is when I could make my exit. It was clear the two were now definitely making up and they didn't need me here anymore.

            "Seto...I..."

            Kaiba just stood and looked at her, waiting for an answer. I started to make my way toward the door but Seral's gaze caught me and I stood fast. Her eyes were telling me she still needed me here so I merely nodded and returned to my normal spot. I looked between the two as Seral returned her gaze to Kaiba's.

            I watched Kaiba squirm slightly. He obviously was now extremely embarassed after his outburst had became the attention of the entire coffee house. I let out a sigh of relief when Seral suddenly went forward and buried herself into his chest and waiting arms. I grinned like a maniac when a sudden applause eminated from the observers who had been paying attention the whole time as Kaiba clung her to himself. They were quite a sight. She just started clinging herself to him, her arms engulfing him into a tight hug, his arms holding her to his form.

            They suddenly acknowledged the applause that was sounding around them and they both blushed slightly. I couldn't help but continue to grin like crazy. So it would be a happy ending after all - or atleast for now anyways. It was obvious the two had alot of issues to work out but in the end, I seriously think it would finally be put to rest and they'd be happy with one another.

            Now I can finally drink the rest of my tea.

            "You guys are together?!" Mokuba's sheer voice cut through the room and me and Seto cringed slightly,"I'm so happy! Yeah! Seto I'm so happy!"

            In the blink of an eye, Mokuba took off towards us and I was fearing for my life at that moment. I closed my eyes briefly than heard a loud thump beside me. I looked to see Kaiba being engulfed into a hug by his young sibling, the hug caused him to tumble backwards, Mokuba's arms plastered around his midsection. I couldn't help but smile. It was strange to hear, I know, but I hadn't expected Mokuba to act so excited. I couldn't help but laugh when Seto was trying to remove the long haired boy so he could breathe.

            "Mokuba," I said surpressing laughter as I tried to removed the boy's arms from my love,"Let him breathe, child. He needs air."

            Mokuba finally removed himself and Kaiba took in a loud deep breath as I smirked, my arms crossed. Once he regained his breathing he slowly stood and ruffled the child's hair affectionately.

            "Thanks little brother," Kaiba grinned at his younger sibling,"We figured you should be the first to know."

            Mokuba grinned with a nod than turned to me. I of course took a step backwards, thinking he was going to do the same with me and I really liked the idea of being able to breathe. Instead, he simply hugged me tightly, his face buried in my chest.

            "Seral," Mokuba's voice was waivering and I could tell he was becoming emotional,"I knew he loved you!"

            Kaiba's eyebrows raised at his response and I merely shrugged, pretending I didn't know what the child was babbling about. The truth was however, that Mokuba had told me on endless occasions that his brother held deep affections for me but just didn't know it or was afraid to say it. Now, realizing the whole situation, Mokuba had been more or less correct. I hugged the child in return than slowly removed him from me.

            "I'm glad you're happy Mokuba," I said with a smile,"Now maybe I can make your brother to start wearing something besides trench coats."

            I heard Kaiba snort at my remark and I looked to him with a grin.

            "What's wrong with the way I dress?" He suddenly asked me with a look of hurt,"I love my trench coats. They give off my personality."

            I raised my brow at his response,"If you want everyone to think you're a selfish, insensitive, greedy bastard who loves no one but his brother and a card game."

            His brows raised at my direct recall of his words and his hands ran over the soft cloth of his trench coat. He looked like he was actually considering giving up his favorite clothing attribute. I couldn't help but see the desperate look on his face. I knew he would get rid of the clothing for me - just like he had said he would do anything for me but I knew better than that. This was a part of him and I loved him this way. Him losing the trench coat would be like saying goodbye to the darker side of Seto and to be honest, I would like that part of him to remain.

            He suddenly began to slide the coat off but I suddenly shot across the room to stop him.

            "No don't, please," I said my voice choking on my words,"I like them. Keep them."

            His eyebrows joined in concern and I knew I had confused him by asking him to lose it than telling him to keep it. I grabbed the front of his coat and looked him dead in the eyes.

            "This trench coat," I told him softly,"Is a symbol of the man you used to be, Seto. I love you, all of you. The cold side of you is still a part of you and it always will. I don't want to lose that half of you or the one you are now. So please, don't ever take this off."

            "Are you sure?" He asked me curiously,"I mean, I thought you hated the rough side of me."

            "I love both sides of you," I corrected him,"The cold half of you is still you. It's going to come out whether you're wearing the trench coat or not and I love hearing you be so blunt and harsh. It's the Seto I grew up with."

            He grinned and slowly removed my hands from the front of his coat, leaning inward to brush his lips against mine. The touch was feather light but made my heart jump up my throat.

            "Than I will never take this off. I will eat, sleep and shower in this."

             I couldn't help but laugh as he said this, my smile muffled by the kiss he placed upon it. I laughed again as he kissed my cheek softly, his hands finding my waist and pulling me to him. I could hear Mokuba giggle behind us and it was than that I realized that I had forgotten his presence. Seto looked to his brother, his brow raised in curiousity.

            "What's so funny Mokuba?"

            Mokuba's grin widened,"I just realized that I forgot to tell you something."

            Even I was curious now and I turned to face Mokuba as Seto pushed the matter further.

            "Which is?" Seto's voice came from behind me.

            "Happy Birthday, Seto."

            Both me and Seto were taken back and that's when I realized that indeed, it was his birthday. After all the events that had happened today, I had completely forgotten to look at a calendar. I turned to Seto and grinned. He was legal today and that made me smirk slightly.

            "Happy Birthday," I said lightly poking his chest,"Seto."

            His eyebrow went up suggestively and he grinned,"Thank you."

            I turned to Mokuba than and smiled,"How 'bout you go call the bakery and get them to make a cake, okay?"

            Mokuba nodded and took of like a light, leaving us alone in the living room. I liked the idea and turned back to Seto again. I approached him, closing the gap between us and wrapped my arms around his neck.

            "You want your present now or later?"

            His smirk widened,"Depends on what it is."

            I raised my eyebrows suggestively, knowing damn well he knew what I was talking about. He wrapped his arms around me and began to lean inward to kiss me, his nose brushing against my own. I could feel my blood spring to life, my body becoming warm from my nose to my toes, increasing my heart rate and shallowing my breathing.

            "You know," I heard him say when I closed my eyes, his lips hovering just above mine,"This is probably illegal now. You being a minor and all."

            I frowned, my eyes still closed and I felt his body shake slightly with restrained laughter. He thought it was funny to tease me now that he was eighteen. Big deal. I decided to return the act and slowly removed myself from him just as his lips touched mine. Just as I had expected, he wore a look of disappointment and I simply grinned in return.

            "Now, you're going to have to wait until tonight for your present," I told him matter-of-factly,"If you can behave that is."

            "That's cruel."

            "Hey, you started it," I said with a wink as I slowly turned away from him and headed into the kitchen where Mokuba had gone,"And once you start something, you should always finish it Seto Kaiba."

            "True as that is," I suddenly felt myself becoming lifted into the air and I let out a squeal as he continued to speak,"I don't agree with it."

            "Put me down this instant, Seto Kaiba!"

            He didn't reply as he turned to the stairs and proceeded to climb them. Whether or not I knew I was in for it. I let out a sigh and rested myself against his shoulder as he continued to carry me up the length of the stairs. I could feel his breath against my neck and smell the scent of his cologne. I loved being this close to him and I loved feeling him hold me this way. I felt a kiss upon my forehead and I shifted to encircle my arms around his neck, wrapping my legs around his waist and lifting the strain of my weight so he could carry me easier.

            "Comfortable?"

            "Very," I responded as I kissed a trail along his neck as we reached the door of his room. I felt him shift slightly, wrapping an arm around me as he opened the door and kicked it closed behind him. He smiled at me, his bangs grazing his eyes, burning with fire that I had never seen before. The man before me was incredible, so elegant and he was mine and mine alone.

            "I love you Seral," He whispered suddenly, his lips nearing my own.

            "And I love you, Seto Kaiba," I said with a strong sense of emotion.

            He kissed me, a kiss so full of emotion that I thought I had lost myself. It was powerful, needy, and passionate. Characteristics of the new Seto Kaiba, the softer sensitive side that only I would see from now on. He layed me below him and his hands immediately swept to my face, stroking my cheek and connecting his eyes with my own. His hands touched and carressed me like they never had before.

             His kisses were strong but so full of emotion that I thought I was going to burst into tears. His thrusts were still strong but now so deep, so slow and powerful. I gritted my teeth to keep from crying. He was here with me - no more distance between us, no more of him being far away. The man I love was here with me, loving me, holding me and showing me how much in movement, touch and caress.

            So this is what it felt like to make love.

~The End~
