Chapter 14 After the date
Disclaimer: I don't own Yugi-Oh at the moment, but someday...somewhere...oh, what am I saying. I'll never own Yugi-Oh.
Okay, I'm not sure if this is what actually happens in the cartoon, in fact, I'm pretty sure it doesn't, but in this story, Joey's father is dead (I know what a creep he was) and he lives with Serenity and her mother. I haven't been watching very long, so don't hate me.
Serenity
After checking to make sure that her mother and Joey weren't still awake (imagine what a shock that would be!) Serenity snuck into the house and up the stairs to her room. The digital clock on the table next to her bed said 9:26. Had it really been over three hours? Time had seemed to fly. But then, that's what happens when you're having fun.
She took her makeup off, brushed her teeth, and got ready for bed. The memories from the night still hung with her: The comfortable atmosphere of the restaurant, how absolutely perfect Seto looked, the delicious taste of dinner, (did I mention how perfect Seto looked?) the warmth of Seto's trench, how soft Seto's cheek felt against her lips. She felt herself blush and wondered what Seto had thought of her kissing him.
She had taken a real gamble by doing that, but Seto hadn't said anything bad about it, that was a good sign. Of course, he hadn't said anything good about it...that was a bad sign.
She laid down in her bed and tried to go to sleep, but all she could think about was Seto. He was so handsome...his eyes were so blue, and he had seemed more at ease than he had in the hospital. Perhaps the reason he was so hateful before was because of the situation he had been in. She smiled to herself. That had to be it. Now that he was back to his usual routine, he would probably be a lot more kind. At least, that's what she hoped.
Seto
"Did you have a good time?" Mokuba asked, smiling at his older brother. Seto nodded.
"Um, yes, I did. It was a good idea."
"So, are you and Serenity going to go back out again?" Mokuba pried. Seto felt his face turn red.
"Er... I...think so." He said quietly. "I'm...uh...going to go work on the computer now. I need to make up for what I missed today." He started to go upstairs, but Mokuba stopped him.
"Seto, I think you should go to bed. You're going to exhaust yourself. And don't you think you'd do better work if you were more awake than you are at the moment? I mean, you've been working night and day to get this finished. Don't you think you should take a break now and then?"
"I took a break today." he said, trying to go around him. "Now, if you'll please move, I need to get to working. It nice what you're trying to do, but remember, it's only a few more weeks until Christmas. We need to get these shipments out by then."
"But-" He said as Seto got around him and started walking up the stairs.
"Don't worry, Mokuba." Seto turned and looked at him. "I'll be fine. I promise that when Christmas is over, I'll get some more rest. Maybe we could take a vacation or something."
"Yeah, where have I heard that before?" Mokuba muttered under his breath.
Thanks, once again, to everyone who reviewed. I know it was short, but after such a long chapter last time, I thought I'd give you a break. There will be many surprises coming up, so stay with the story. See ya!
