Friends
The next few days were the happiest Seto had experienced in a while. He sat with Yugi and the others in class and at lunch. He had become more vocal in his classes and much more talkative. There was still an awkwardness when it came to Duel Monsters, but the teens mutually avoided the topic.
On Thursday it was raining and Seto could not walk home with his new friends, since they had to take the bus and he took his limo. Seto never went to Kaiba Corp. on Thursdays, it was the only day of the week he and Mokuba had to themselves to be brothers.
Seto sat on the couch working on a creative writing assignment, while Mokuba watched Pokemon (quite possibly his favorite thing next to Duel Monsters). Seto glanced up from his paper to watch his brother who was currently laughing at Brock who had just been rejected by Nurse Joy who was the 2nd cousin twice removed from the Nurse Joy they had met in another town. Seto smiled to himself and returned back to his work. Just then the phone rang, Seto picked it up.
"Hello?" He answered.
" Hey is this Seto?" It was Anzu.
" Hello, Anzu. How can I help you?"
" You sound like sucha businessman all the time Seto." Anzu giggled. Seto smirked.
"Anyway," She continued "Do you know when our paper for English is due?"
Seto wondered why Anzu was calling him and not Yugi or the one of the others.
" I tired to call Yugi but his grandfather said he was out, and forget Joey or Honda."
Seto chuckled it was as if Anzu had read his mind.
"Its die on Monday, Anzu."
" Thanks so much!!"
Seto was ready to wrap things up on the phone, but Anzu continued.
" Are you going to the dance tomorrow?"
Seto felt his stomach churn, he hadn't considered going to the dance.
" Umm…." He couldn't think of an excuse
"Come on it'll be fun!" She said cheerfully. He shuddered, this was going too fast for him. First he was simply sitting with them now they wanted to do stuff outside of school with him.
Remember…you want FRIENDS!!
"Ummm…it depends on what my schedule after school looks like. I may have to attended a dinner meeting at Kaiba Corp. for a new duel disk system…but I'm not too sure if its this week…"
" Oh, okay! Well, I hope you can come! Thanks again, Seto. Goodnight!!"
Seto hung up the phone and stared at his paper.
Hope you can come! No one in Seto's memory had ever uttered those four words to him. He was for once wanted. Should he go?
"You gonna go to that dance, big brother?" Mokuba asked not prying his eyes away from the tv screen
Seto sighed. He wasn't going to go. He may be making friends, but he was ready to fully submit to being a teenager.
" No. Tomorrow's free, and I thought that we could just hang out and watch movies or something."
" Seto! Go to the dance. Yugi's trying to be your friend! They all seem to like you."
" But what will you do? I don't want to leave you home alone."
" I won't be alone, Tarro can come over, and besides how many servants and guards do we have? I'll be fine. Come on brother, go have some fun."
There's that blasted word again. Seto moaned inwardly.
"Mokuba…."
Mokuba turned and looked at his older brother, his blue-grey eyes piercing Seto's cobalt.
" SETO! Go to the dance!" The little one said with an intense glare. The older stood stunned by the coarsness of his younger brother.
"Please? For me?"
Seto looked at his baby brother, it was obvious that Mokuba wanted him to have some fun.
"Alright." He said quietly
Mokuba's expression became joyful. "YAY!! MY BROTHER'S GOING TO A DANCE!!!" he cheered.
Seto smiled gently at his brother. "Are you sure you'll be all right…"
"I'm sure!" The younger boy said cheerfully.
"Fine." He said and turned back to his writing.
***
Seto lay awake in his bed. It was past midnight and he could not sleep. He tossed and turned restlessly amongst the silk sheets of his enormous bed. No matter where he laid or how her positioned himself, nothing seemed comfortable.
Why can't I sleep? He wondered, as he flipped himself onto his side. I'm so tired.
He gazed up at his bedroom window. It was a clear night, the moon was big and bright. Seto watched the moon, his thoughts escaping to the stars. His eyes began to droop, and a sweet wave of relaxation came over him. Seto yawned and nestled deeper into his pillow. Sleep was finally upon him.
As Seto was just about to surrender to the intoxicating allure of sleep, his bedroom door creaked open. With the hold upon him shattered, sleep left as quickly as it had came. Seto's sat up, his blue eyes focusing on the door.
" S-seto?" A soft whisper came. Seto sighed, it was Mokuba.
"Yeah, kiddo?"
Mokuba came over to the edge of Seto's bed, his head was down and the smaller boy seemed to be holding back tears.
"Mokuba? What's wrong?" Seto said in a comforting voice as he leaned over to place a hand on his brother's shoulder.
The smaller boy hiccuped and then whimpered. "I-I had the dream again." Mokuba said in a choked whisper.
Seto frowned. Mokuba had been having a lot of nightmares lately, and a particular nightmare had continued to plague the young boy. With out a word, Seto pulled back his bed covers and moved over. Mokuba took up the invitation and happily climbed into his brother's bed. Seto smiled as Mokuba settled himself next to his brother.
" 'Night Seto." He said with a yawn.
" Good night little one." Seto said gently.
Mokuba was asleep in seconds. Seto smirked and wished he could fall asleep just as fast, but there was so much on his mind. He was becoming worried about his brothers nightmares, and he wondered if the dreams were a result of Mokuba's imprisonment in the shadow realm.
The dream that his brother kept having involved a raging fire. Seto was trapped within fire and Mokuba saw himself asleep in his bed, unable to hear Seto's frantic cries for help. Then Seto was engulfed by the flames, screaming in pain the flames rising higher and higher around the bed. The last thing that happened at the end of the dream was the Mokuba could hear Pegasus' insane laughter.
Seto sighed and laid on his side, absently playing with a few strands of Mokuba's raven black hair. He decided to keep watch over his sleeping brother, his thoughts were running a mile a minute and he was too restless to sleep.
" And then, there is that damn dance." He muttered
***
Seto blinked groggily in class the next day. He was exhausted. Mokuba had whimpered and cried all night in his sleep. All Seto could do was gently rub his brother's back and whisper comforting words.
" Mr. Kaiba? Are you paying attention?" Seto looked up.
"Yes sir." He lied
"If you were could you then answer the question I just asked you?"
Seto stared at the irrate teacher. " Ummm…." Was all he could say.
The teacher sighed and shook his head, " I asked you, 'Who was the Egyptian ruler who had a deep influence on Roman/Egyptian politics?"
"Cleopatra." Yugi whispered.
Seto answered the question. The teacher nodded and turned back to the lesson.
" Thankks." He whispered to Yugi.
" Don't thank me, thank Yami."
// Phe, that skank ruined Egypt.// Yami muttered to his hikari. Yugi snickered.
Meanwhile, in the seat behind Seto, Bakura was also speaking to his aboui.
// Man, I don't know what Yami is saying to Yugi, but DAMN she was hot…easy as hell but….//
Ryou blushed a deep scarlet at what his darker side told him next. He wished that his yami wouldn't be graphic…especially when it came to his past relationships…

"So what are you guys wearing tonight?" Yugi asked Joey, Honda, Bakura, and Seto as they changed for gym.
"I dunno Yug. Aren't chics the ones who usually worry about dis stuff?"
"I was just asking." Yugi said as he pulled his gym shirt over his head.
" What are you wearin' Seto." Joey asked.
Seto froze. What WAS he going to wear? True, he dressed in impeccable flare, but his wardrobe consisted of his school uniforms and his business suits. He had nothing that a regular teenager would wear.
" Um..not sure yet." He answered. He prayed that others would start talking about their clothes, so he could get a sense of what normal teens would wear.
" I'm probably going to wear my jeans and a top." Bakura said cheerfully.
"I hope you wear something. We don't want you to turn up naked." Honda snickered.
" HAR. HAR." Bakura said flatly.
Seto thought for a second. Jeans. Those were ok, a little too casual for his liking, bit if it was what everyone else was wearing….Wait, did he even own a pair of jeans? He mentally went over his entire wardrobe and concluded that he did not.
Guess I'm making a stop at the mall after school. He thought.
***
" How do I look?" Seto said as he stepped out of his bathroom.
Mokuba, who was sitting on Seto's bed playing with his gameboy, looked up at his brother. He hadn't seen Seto dressed this casual since their foster home days.
" Well?" the teen inquired.
He was wearing tight washed out blue jeans, and a black short-sleeved, v-neck collared shirt.
" You look great, big brother!!"
Seto smirked, "So do I pass for your teenage brother?"
"Yeah, but one thing." Mokuba slid off the bed and pulled the neatly tucked in shirt out of Seto's pants.
"Now you look even better!!" The younger boy beamed.
" Thanks." Seto said gentle smile.
"You better get going your gonna be late, Seto!!"
