For Misura, who wanted "something not R-Rated" on my account and who loves Mokuba; and for myself, who wanted to write gen.
Warnings: Did I get Mokuba's character okay?; one-shot; short; possibly depressing-ish; I think that's all.
Summary: Mokuba misses his brother, even though he and his brother are in the same room.
"Nii-Sama?"
There's barely a grunt in response.
Mokuba swallows and tries again. "N-Nii-Sama?"
"Yes, Mokuba?" The older Kaiba's reply is toneless, and his eyes never leave the laptop he's cradling so carefully.
Mokuba swallows. "Nii-Sama…" Why did you come out in the living room with me if you weren't even going to talk to me? "Do you want to have a turn picking what's on TV?" Mokuba gave his best smile.
Seto doesn't see it.
"No, Mokuba, I'm busy. You go ahead and pick."
Mokuba sighs heavily. "But…I want you to pick." Another smile Seto never even sees.
"I said I was busy, Mokuba." Is Kaiba…glaring at his brother?
No, Kaiba hasn't even looked up.
Mokuba's stomach twists into a thousand little knots.
"Oh. Okay, Seto."
