"It's snowing..." Seto thought as he stared out of the window in his office. The window overlooked his huge mansion that was now covered in glistening whiteness. After some minutes of looking at the snow, he turned his back to it. His cold blue eyes diverted back to his laptop and he seated himself back to where he was sitting before. He adjusted his position and began typing listlessly into his laptop. The sounds of the keyboard echoed in the empty room. He then saw a small line of light near him and felt the door creak open.
"Seto? It's December 25, why are you still working?" A child-like voice questioned him.
"Because it's the only day that I can work in peace." Came a reply.
"But Seto, you ALWAYS work. Can't you give it a rest for just one day?" The boy asked as he walked into the drafty room. Upon entering the room, the boy instinctively wrapped his arms around himself from the cold. "Brr… It's cold in here."
Seto sighed. "Mokuba, I can't. I have too much work to do, and today seems like the perfect day to get most of it done." His hands continued to fly around the keyboard, eyes never leaving the screen.
Mokuba headed around the table and was soon standing next to Seto. He gazed at his older brother with worried eyes.
"But Seto!! I already invited Yugi and his friends over!"
"Good for you. Go hang out with them and let me finish my work."
"But I already told them that you would come also!!" He whined.
"What difference would it make, Mokuba?"
"A lot. Please? PLEASE?" Mokuba asked in earnest.
Seto concentrated harder on his screen, avoiding Mokuba's face. He knew what Mokuba was pulling. The infamous pout.
"Please Seto? For me?" Mokuba said in a very small voice.
Seto stopped and sighed. He turned to face Mokuba, still avoiding his face, but it was too late. His eyes accidentally reached Mokuba's face. Instead of the pout, Mokuba had his puppy eyes.
Seto quickly closed his eyes, but he opened one slowly to see if Mokuba was there. The answer was yes, and the cute face was on full power. Seto groaned.
"Um... no?" Seto said meekly.
"SETO!!" Mokuba whined.
Sighing could be heard. "…Fine Mokuba, you win."
Mokuba's face lit up with a smile and ran out of the room only to reappear with Yugi, Anzu, Jonouchi, Honda, Otogi, and Mai. Upon seeing this, Seto groaned inwardly.
"Oh great. Instead of getting my work done and everything, I have to spend time with freaks. Why does Mokuba have to make friends with the weirdest people?" Seto decided that it would be best to pretend that they weren't in the room and ignored them. He resumed typing into his laptop as the group chatted in loud noises. Seto received a light glare from Mokuba, but brushed it aside. Only after did the noises get louder did Seto stop his work and close his laptop. There was no way in hell that he was going to be able to concentrate with all the noise that was going on. He instead sat back in his black business chair and glared at everyone around him.
Yami, who had been recently talking to Yugi, kept glancing over his should to look at Seto. It took Seto a while to notice, but when he did, he found it very strange.

Yay! A Christmas Fic! Tell me what you think. Written for the sake of Christmas and Love. It's a pretty short story… just too lazy to write it all at once. Also, read my other fic, True.
