Both laid in bed, staring at the ceiling. Serenity just hated
thunderstorms. Actually, she was scared of them. Silly, she knew, but she
just couldn't help herself. A crack of lighting flared outside her window.
Second later, a crack of thunder scared her. The wind started to howl. She
hopped out of bed, Damn it, she thought, What is it with me and
thunderstorms? And just the time to. Right in front of Seto? Wait-What am I
thinking? She asked as she slid back into bed.
Meanwhile Seto laid in bed, watching the window. Man she is sure pretty, he thought, wait What the hell am I thinking about? Me falling in love? Dude, Seto! I thought we talked about this already! He mentally screamed at himself. Another flash of white light streaked across the sky. Moments later the loudest crack of thunder yet boomed.
Aww shit. She thought. She hopped out of bed, and opened the door.
Seto couldn't sleep. How the hell was he to sleep with all the noise?
A knock sounded on the door, 'Seto?' the sweet voice of Serenity asked.
Seto sat bolt upright, and smoothed his bed covers so that she wouldn't look at him as 'messy.'
'Coming,' he told her.
As he opened the door, he said, 'What are you doing at this hour?'
Damn, he feels so comforting, she thought to himself. Just like Joey was. Oh SHIT. What the hell am I thinking again?
'I-I-I can't sleep.' She finally said.
'Neither can I.' He told her. He gestured for her to come inside.
She went inside and sat on the bed.
'Tell me about your family.' Seto said, looking very nervous.
'Well, I used to have a happy family. My mother, and father, and an older brother. One day, it was raining, and-there was a thunderstorm outside. I was 7. Lighting stuck my-mother, and-she passed away.' She blinked back tears as she continued, 'Soon after that, my father lost his job. He was at home all the time, and ended up as an alcoholic. My brother, he left at the age of 16,' she told him.
'Where is your brother?' Seto asked.
'I-I-don't know.' She answered.
'Do you know his name?'
'Yes, I do, his name's Joseph Wheeler.' She replied.
He took out a laptop and entered Kaiba-Corp's system.
'what are you doing?'
'Well, I can probably find him with the company's program.' He told her.
'Ok, I'll get something to drink.'
'Fine with me.'
After a few minute of typing, he found it, and Serenity went back into his room.
'Is this your brother?'
'It is.'
'Why don't you read the report about him? Perhaps it might make you happier.'
As she read the report, she dropped the glass of water, which shattered, the water spilling on the floor, her hand at her open mouth.
'What is it?' he asked, concerned.
She pointed at the report. 'He-he's-he's'
He took the laptop from her, and read the report.
Joseph Wheeler had died-from an unknown cause.
Meanwhile Seto laid in bed, watching the window. Man she is sure pretty, he thought, wait What the hell am I thinking about? Me falling in love? Dude, Seto! I thought we talked about this already!
