Oh wow… I didn't update this story yet, and it's almost Christmas! I'm so ashamed. Anyways, here it is.

"Why does Yami stare at me so?" Seto thought to himself. His cold blue gaze swept passed the crimson shy eyes and averted his eyes on the red carpet floor. "He's strange, that one."
He'd been looking at the carpet for quite a while now and was getting bored. He'd practically memorized the design and patterns for crying out loud! He got up from his seat and moved towards the window again. He crossed his arms as he watched the snow fall from the heavens. It seemed to be snowing harder since the last time he checked. As he stared out into the distant grounds of his mansion, he felt his little brother beside him, peering at the glass.
"Will you look at all that snow?" He breathed, fogging up a part of the window with his breath. "Let's go out!" Mokuba excitedly yelled out. The rest of the group agreed and began shuffling out of the room. Mokuba turned his gray eyes to Seto.
"Seto, are you coming?" His eyes were pleading.
"No, Mokuba."
"Why not?"
"It's not my thing." There was emphasis on the last word.
Mokuba rolled his eyes. "Nothing's your thing, Seto. Come on! It's the holidays."
"Your point?"
"My point," Mokuba said sternly, "is that you should lighten up a bit. Drink some eggnog, have some fun." Seto snorted at the sound of the word "eggnog". This did nothing but send a glare from Mokuba.
"Well, I'm going out to the courtyard. You can come whenever you feel like it. It's right out your window." He pointed to the glass window right next to him.
"Fine. Okay, whatever. Dress warmly okay? Don't want you to get sick or anything."
With that, Mokuba left.
Seto returned to staring out at the snow. Come to think of it, Seto liked the snow. Not that he would ever admit it of course, but it was just so interesting. The soft, flaky, and sparkling snow. Snow, snow, snow. Seto grinned inwardly. He saw Mokuba leading the rest of the group out into the courtyard and amused himself by watching a group of people start by making a snowman and end up in a chaotic game of snowball fighting. Everyone was against each other, and Seto could vaguely hear Anzu's desperate speech on working together as friends. Mai had run for cover, either from the cold or from the snow that would ruin her look. Yugi, Mokuba, Yami, Jonouchi, Honda, and Ryou seemed to be enjoying themselves. Jonouchi and Honda was throwing snow at each other… Jonouchi had even tried to put snow down Honda's back and snickered when Honda spazzed. Serenity was hanging onto Jonouchi's shoulder, as if holding on for dear life. It seemed as if Yami was in the lead. He'd thrown the most snowballs and had somehow gotten the hit the least. He was fairly dry and the blur of his blue jacket was the only visibly part of him, along with is white scarf trailing behind him. His crimson eyes were full of laughter as he darted around the courtyard. His voice twinkled in the air and his soft lips parted open to reveal a beautiful smile… wait a minute.
Seto stopped his observations. Beautiful? He shook his head. Maybe Mokuba was right. He had been working too much. "Time for some coffee and relaxation," he thought to himself. He turned away from the window, eyes lingering on Yami and walked down the stairs. In the kitchen, he grabbed a clean mug and poured himself some already made coffee. He took the cup and made his way to the couch, taking up the whole space and spreading his arms. He sipped his coffee and closed his eyes. He needed some rest. He finished his coffee and lied down on the couch. He drifted off into a dreamless sleep…
The moment he woke up was to a pair of scarlet eyes peering at him from above. The abstract color made him jump out of his skin as he opened his eyes. When he realized whom the eyes belonged to, he felt his face warm up.
"What are you doing, Yami?" He growled as he rose and sat properly on the couch. He turned away to hide the pink tint on his cheeks.
Yami, startled that Seto had woken up so suddenly, got up and backed away, causing him to lose his balance. He bumped into the coffee table, tripped over it, and fell on the floor.
Seto's eyes widened at what he saw. Instinctively, he rushed to Yami's side. "Are you okay, Yami?"
Yami looked at Seto, wincing a little. "Oh yea, I'm fine. Let me jus get up." Yami attempted to get up, but just fell back onto the floor.
"Ow."
"What's wrong?" Seto could feel his voice rising in panic.
"I hurt my butt while falling back on the floor." Yami stated matter-of-factly.
All right. This was getting Seto nowhere. He could feel his temper starting to rise also. His hands were balled up in fists and he had to restrain himself from punching Yami smack in the face.
"Are you alright?" He asked once more after taking a breath.
"I told you. My butt hurts."
"Not that, oh wise one. I meant before you fell after a lame attempt of trying to get up by yourself."
Yami thought a bit. "Now that… my leg kind of hurts."
At that moment, Mokuba barged in.
"Seto! What did you do to Yami?!"
"Nothing."
"I don't believe you," Mokuba groaned. "Yugi had to go somewhere for the time being. Can you take Yami home?"
There was a blank look on Seto's face.
"Uh…"
"Seto, it's the least you can do after making Yami fall."
"Fine." A sigh. "Let's get going, Yami."
--
"You're okay, right?" Seto tried to ask as kindly as he could, but somehow, he couldn't hide the irritation in his voice.
"Yes."
"You know, if you weren't all up in my face like that, I woul-"He felt a smack of cold on his head. He turned around slowly and found Yami look up at the sky in feigned innocence.
That was it. Seto's mouth curved up into a smile. Oh, he dares messes with Seto Kaiba, does he, eh? He quickly grabbed some fresh snow from the ground and chucked it right in Yami's face.
Yami did nothing but stare at Seto with a look of astonish, mouth open and all. When he regained consciousness, he grinned. He grabbed some snow too and threw it at Seto before dashing of into the air.
Seto could feel him running around him, scarf tailing him and laughing in the air. Inside Seto, his heart rate sped up just a bit.
