Conversations
Part 6: Seto and Mokuba

By Shadow's Mirror

.

"Mokuba, I need to talk to you." Mokuba looked up at Seto's voice. His big brother was standing in the doorway of his room with a very uneasy expression on his face. He looked as though he'd rather be dueling a robotic beaver than do whatever it was that he was about to do.

"Is this about Téa and Joey?" Mokuba put down his book and shifted into a sitting position on his bed. He watched his brother intently as Seto crossed to the window and stared out at the night sky.

"… No." Mokuba sighed at the hesitant response. Seto had barely spoken a word to him all day. For that matter, he'd spent most of the day avoiding him entirely! When Mokuba had seen him, Seto had been obviously distracted by something. As he was now.

"Are you finally going to explain why you put me into your virtual reality game?" Mokuba decided to see just how distracted his big brother was.

"I already explained that." Mokuba sighed. Seto apparently wasn't as distracted as he'd hoped.

"I was the only one you knew well enough to be able to program my personality into the game. I know. But…as a girl?" He frowned at his brother, who was still staring out of the window.

"I already explained that too." Seto still showed no sign of emotion… or willingness to talk about whatever he'd wanted to talk about. Mokuba decided to take it one step further.

"You needed a girl to change her into the Mystic Elf. I know. But… in that dress?" He waited.

"I already… What was wrong with that dress?" Seto frowned and turned around to look at his brother in confusion as Mokuba's words finally caught his attention.

"It was yellow and pink! You know my favourite colour's red." Mokuba frowned at his big brother. Kaiba blinked at him. He started to say something and then paused, for once at a loss for words.

"About what you saw this morning, Mokuba…" Eventually he opted for a swift change of topic.

"So this is about Téa and Joey." Mokuba smirked. Kaiba frowned at him.

"No. This is about you and I having a talk…" He shifted uncomfortably and suddenly looked extremely uneasy. "About… boys and girls and… stuff." Seto gingerly sat down on Mokuba's bed beside his brother, and immediately looked as though he'd like to stand up again. He looked around the room, everywhere but at his brother, trying not to fidget as he did his best to ignore the heat that he could feel rising into his cheeks. He had sincerely hoped that it would be a long time before he and Mokuba would have to have this particular talk.

Mokuba's dark eyes gleamed as he leaned forward, eyeing his brother with great interest.

"Okay Seto. So… what do you want to know?"
