Seto didn't get a lot of work done that night. All he could think of was the hurt expression on Serena's face when he had yelled at her. He didn't know why it bothered him so much, but it did as he kicked himself mentally and tried to get back to work. Seto arrived home late that night and walked straight to his room. He was about to open the door to his room, when he paused. 'Maybe I should go apologize to Serena for yelling at her.' He thought as he walked over to the couch were she lay. Serena was still up and she hid her face with the pillow and turned her head away when she heard him approach. Seto seated himself on the coffee table and looked at Serena.
"Kanna, I was thinking about what you said earlier this evening. And I just wanted to say that you might um…you might have a good point there." Seto began as he stared at Serena's pillow that was hiding her face.
"Thank you, now go away!" she said her voice muffled by the pillow.
"I'm not done," Seto interrupted. "I also wanted to say that I'm sor…that I can't talk to you when you have your head turned away from me." He said as he tried to turn her head around to face him. Serena put up a good fight as she valiantly tried to keep her face covered. "No!" she moaned as he finally gave up.
"Why?" Seto asked annoyed throwing up his hands. Serena paused for a moment then turned over and allowed Seto to see her face.
"Because I'm so ugly!" she said tears threatening to spill. "I got poison oak too!" she said as she started to cry. Seto had to choke back a laugh. She did look pretty bad with red spots and calamine lotion all over her face.
"Oh come on honey. That's not true, you're beautiful." Seto said when he suddenly realized that he did think she was beautiful. He shook his head to clear his thoughts from his revelation. "I mean we do like the way you look, normally you look real pretty; you just don't now!" Seto said attempting to consol her, but he just ended up causing Serena to cry again and bury her face in the couch.
"Forget it!" he said giving up.
"I don't even have a wedding ring!" she muttered raising her left hand.
"What?" Seto asked not being able to distinguish what she said.
Serena raised her face out of the couch. "I lost my wedding ring when I was out at sea!" she said in a teary voice. Seto's eyes softened as he looked at her miserable face. He stood up and scooped Serena up bridal style.
"No! I don't want to go back in the water barrel!" Serena whined as Seto smiled.
"No, you can sleep in the bed tonight. I'll take the couch." Seto offered as he used his shoulder to open the door to his room. He strode into his room and threw back the covers as he gently placed Serena on the bed. He then covered her up and turned to leave when he felt her hand on his arm. He stopped as warmth spread through him at her touch. He turned to look into the pleading face of Serena.
"Please, tell me something about my past." She begged. "Something not horrible!" she said before he could speak, remembering all the awful stories that he had told her so far. Seto sighed as he thought quickly to think up some kind of a story to tell her.
"Well, there was the time that you used to work at…Burger Boy!" Seto lied as he made up a story to tell her. "Yeah you were working there and some kid started choking on a fry. Everyone in the place started panicking; including me, but you rushed over and performed that Heimlich maneuver. The kid choked up the fry and they named you burger boy employee of the month. I was really proud of you." Seto said making up the fake story. Serena smiled slowly.
"You can be quite charming when you want to be." She whispered as she turned over and fell asleep. Seto continued to sit on the side of the bed, just watching her sleep and thinking about what she had just said, before he got up and left.
