Author's Note: Finally, I got around to writing a Yu-Gi-Oh fic. I so
happyyyyyyyyy! Just a bunch of shonen-ai fluffy-ness. Very happy about this
one. If you don't like Pegasus x Kaiba, sorry, I do. Peggy-chan is too
fruity to be left alone...AND DON'T GIVE ME THE 'HE WAS MARRIED' CRAP! It
was all for show -_-x STOP DESTROYING MY DREAMS! Erm...^^b Okay, I don't
own any part of Yu-Gi-Oh so you can't sue me for claiming that I do. Though
if I had MY way with the series-ON WITH THE FIC!
No One Should Be Alone On Christmas
Seto Kaiba sat dejectedly at his desk, praying that SOMEONE needed SOMETHING on Christmas Eve. He kept glaring at the phone; perhaps if he stared long enough at it, it would do something interesting...like ring...or blow up. He groaned loudly and leaned back in his large swivel chair. Kaiba looked at the city, decorated for Christmas. He watched as people were doing some last minute shopping and scrambling to different stores before they closed.
"Maybe I should have thrown that party Mokuba was talking about. At least HE would have been here, instead of with his friends at that other party. Wow, that was really selfish," Kaiba thought to himself as he rested his hands under his chin. A few moments later, his head hit the desk with an audible thud that echoed throughout his decent-sized office. As he was suffering quietly, his phone rang. Kaiba looked at his phone almost as if he didn't believe it was ringing. He let it go for about three rings before finally picking it up. "Kaiba Corps, Seto Kaiba speaking," he said in a very professional tone.
"Still all business? Even on Christmas Eve? You disappoint me, Kaiba!" said an all too familiar voice on the other end of the line, "Why aren't you out? I would have expected a man such as yourself to be partying with your friends." Kaiba snorted.
"What friends?" Kaiba spat.
"I didn't mean to upset you, Kaiba-boy," the caller said in a mock-hurt tone.
"I don't need you to tease me, Pegasus. Not tonight, anyway," Kaiba said quietly.
"I wasn't looking for a fight. I just called to see if you were home or not," Pegasus said simply.
"Why do you care?" Kaiba asked cautiously.
"If you must know, I'm having a little party myself and it seems that none of my guests decided to show up. Plus, I don't think you should be alone on Christmas. Its just not right," Pegasus explained, "What do you say?"
"You're not trying to get your hands on my company again, are you?" Kaiba asked flat-out.
"The thought hadn't even crossed my mind," Pegasus said honestly.
"And you're not going to liquor me up, are you?" he asked again.
"Why would you have a crazy idea like that?!" Pegasus said slightly raising his voice due to the idiocy of Kaiba's last question. Kaiba thought the offer through. He didn't like to be alone much anymore, and it WAS Christmas Eve...
"Do you think you could come get me, I gave my chauffeur the night off," Kaiba asked, slightly pink in the cheeks because of his request. On the other end of the phone Pegasus was doing flips inwardly.
"Of course. How long should I wait?" he asked with a grin from ear to ear.
"I'll just need ten minutes," Kaiba said.
"Ten minutes it is, Kaiba-boy. See you soon!" Pegasus said.
"Hold on..." Kaiba said.
"What's wrong?" Pegasus asked, somewhat worried that Kaiba was going to cancel on him.
"Give me a half hour instead," Kaiba said, "I have to do something." Pegasus raised an eyebrow on his side of the line.
"All right. See you in a few, then," Pegasus said.
"Thanks, bye," Kaiba replied as he hung up the phone. He leaned back in his chair. "Some company is better than no company at all," Kaiba said to himself as he got up. "What's that wine he's always drinking called?!" Kaiba panicked in his head. Soon, Kaiba had grabbed his trench coat and was out the door to go traipse the streets for a bottle of good red wine.
Eventually, Kaiba found a bottle of red that was of quality to take to Pegasus. The hard part was convincing the cashier that he wasn't going to drink it himself. So, he had it gift-wrapped.
"This is SO tacky!" Kaiba grumbled to himself as he carried the gold package back to his home. He placed the bottle gently on his dresser as he changed into something a little less...duelist. Instead, Kaiba chose a black turtleneck sweater and a nice pair of khakis. He sprayed some the cologne that Mokuba had gotten him for his birthday last year and threw on one of his black peacoats. He loosely wrapped a red scarf around his neck and waited by the door for Pegasus's limo. Kaiba was surprised when Pegasus drove up in a black Range Rover. Kaiba locked his door and walked down the stairs to meet Pegasus. "Nice car," Kaiba said with a slight smirk. Pegasus shrugged.
"Hey, don't laugh, it gets me where I need to go...when I don't have my chauffeur, that is. *pfft* Even THEN I sometimes drive this," Pegasus said to Kaiba out the window, "Are you going to get in or not?"
"No, I was thinking I'd tie myself to the roof of the car and ride all the way to your mansion THAT way," Kaiba said sarcastically. Pegasus gave him a half smile and jerked his head slightly towards the passenger's side of the car. Kaiba walked around the back of the car and hopped in the front. Before Kaiba could buckle his seatbelt, Pegasus slammed on the gas and sped off, throwing Kaiba against the back of his seat. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" Kaiba was slightly paler than he was before.
"Relax, Seto, I know what I'm doing!" Pegasus laughed. He glanced towards Kaiba when they were at a red light, "Not one for speed, are you?" Pegasus asked.
"No, its not that, come on, Pegasus, you know I have a motorcycle," Kaiba panted slightly, "I just think you're fucking crazy!"
"Ah! But I'm not a MURDERER!" Pegasus laughed then stopped suddenly. Kaiba looked at him, "Or AM I?!" Pegasus stepped on the gas pedal again and Kaiba was white-knuckled as he gripped the armrests of his seat.
"PEGASUS!" Kaiba shouted. Pegasus slowed down. He was hysterical.
"I'm sorry! I couldn't help it! You're just such an easy scare!" Pegasus wiped at a tear at the corner of his eye. Kaiba curled his lip back.
"I have half a mind to break this bottle of wine over your head when we get home," Kaiba grumbled.
"Where's the other half?" Pegasus asked, trying to suppress his giggles.
"The other half of what?" Kaiba asked, not knowing what Pegasus was referring to.
"Your mind. You said you had half a mind to break that bottle of wine over my head, but you said nothing about the other half of your mind!" Pegasus started laughing again.
"You're not drunk, are you?" Kaiba asked.
"Not yet!" Pegasus smiled.
"Not funny," Kaiba growled.
"Yes it is," Pegasus gave a wink in Kaiba's direction. Kaiba was silent for a moment. Soon, he felt a laugh creep its way into his throat.
"Okay, maybe a little funny," Kaiba chuckled. His chuckle soon snowballed into a full-blown laugh. Pegasus smiled.
"You look so much better when you smile, Seto," Pegasus said sincerely. Kaiba felt his cheeks grow warm. All he could do was grin like an idiot.
The car ride was relatively silent, with only a few occasional breaks for conversation. Pegasus decided to take the long was to his mansion allowing Kaiba to warm up to him a little more. On their way home, it began to snow gently.
"Do you mind if I turn up the heat a little?" Kaiba asked as he reached for the heater.
"Go ahead," Pegasus said glancing quickly at Kaiba. He was reclining comfortably against the passenger's seat, "Don't you love this time of year?" Pegasus asked with a small sigh.
"Not particularly," Kaiba said, "I'm always alone." Pegasus pursed his lips gently.
"Doesn't Mokuba stay with you?" he asked.
"Most of the time, yes, but not this year. I guess he's growing up faster than I thought," Kaiba shrugged.
"Well, you're not alone now, are you?" Pegasus smiled slightly. Kaiba shook his head, "No worries then! Just have fun, no matter who you're with."
Pegasus and Kaiba arrived at Pegasus's mansion just as the snow began to get heavy. As they hung up their coats, Kaiba gave Pegasus the bottle of wine he had bought earlier that night.
"Here, I didn't know what you liked so I just picked this out for you," Kaiba said with a hint of shyness in his voice. Pegasus pulled off the lid to the gold box.
"Wow, thank you, Seto!" Pegasus studied the bottle, "You did very nicely, but I have to ask, you're not 21 yet, how'd you get the wine?"
"I just told the guy I wanted it gift wrapped and told him he had my promise I wouldn't drink it. I don't think he would have cared if I had or not," Kaiba explained. Pegasus shook his head.
"What's wrong with people today? Giving alcohol to children," Pegasus pretended to be sad/disappointed. Kaiba hit him on the back of the head.
"I'm eighteen, thank you very much!" Kaiba fumed. Pegasus rubbed the back of his head.
"Let's get the fire going, shall we?" he suggested.
"Sure," Kaiba replied as he followed Pegasus into the large living room. The living room was lavishly decorated with a large Christmas tree near a bay window. It had beautiful glass ornaments on it and white lights. There was gold garland draped across the mantle of the fireplace. Pegasus stacked some wood inside the fireplace and lit a piece of newspaper under it. He blew on it gently to make sure the fire spread. Soon enough, there was a roaring fire going. Pegasus shut the metal mesh curtain across the fireplace.
"Now, about that wine," he said as he put his hands together, "Can I get you anything while I'm up?" Pegasus asked Kaiba, who was sitting comfortably in an over stuffed, red velvet chair.
"Nothing for me, thank you," he said as he watched the fire. Pegasus smirked.
"Not even hot chocolate?" he asked as a grin split his face. He watched as Kaiba's eyes lit up.
"Uh...I don't know...erm...okay!" Kaiba bounced up from the chair and walked with Pegasus into the kitchen.
