Accidentally In Love Chapter 5: Another day -----------------------------------
Seya woke up with a start. He glanced at his bedside table and was confused not to find his Dark Magician clock there. He get up on his bed as was still wondering why does his room seems bare.
That's when recollections from the past day dawned at him.
'Oh yeah...' he walked towards the small bathroom in his room and glanced at the ever present wall clock the Kaiba bathrooms have.
'6:00 a.m. I still got time before going to school.' he showered and readied himself for school. He took another uniform (He and Mokuba shopped for another pair.) out of the closet and starts doing his morning habits.
On his way down, he's greeted by his uncle Mokuba.
"Good morning Seya! Seto left earlier than you but don't worry. My limo driver will get you to school. Breakfast?" Mokuba hyperactively greeted. Seya can't help but sweatdropped. It's really a wonder to see his usually calm and composed Uncle Mokuba being so hyperactive like a twelve year old.(1)
'Well, he is twelve this time.'
Mokuba took his hand and led him to the kitchen. He made him sat infront of the kitchen counter as he passed him the cereal box. Seya took it with a smile.
"Thanks."
'That brat. I could've gone earlier to school than this. But no! I have to stay back for about fifteen minutes to wait for him.' Seto looked out his limo window. Mokuba had made him stay than his usual departure time to wait for Seya and now he's runnning late.
He could still remember what happened earlier. And anyone WOULD agree that being woken up by a hyper Mokuba is not one of the best ways.
He didn't mind at first since he's gonna wake up three minutes later but when he, Kaiba Seto, had to stay fifteen minutes behind his schedule because of an exchange student and puppy dog eyes from his brother, that's another story.
Kaiba sighed. 'That brat. Always getting on my nerves. Just like the pup...' a sudden realization came upon him. He didn't notice it at first but it seems that he's giving names to the exchange student. Not to mention the times he's been comparing him with the mutt. AND that brat can get under his skin just like the way the Katsuya!
Seto shuddered. ' I did not just reffered the mutt with his real name'
When he heard his father's usual grunt and a 'I don't keep trash on my pockets, Motou.' he can't help but roll his eyes. His dad's stories about his father's tyrannies were legendary. School bully, CEO at the age of seventeen, once hailed as the best duelist in the world...the list just goes on.
He could still picture Jou, standing in front of him, hands on hips while saying ,"Your dad is the biggest bully Domino High ever had! Nobody ever dared talk back to him nor anyone were brave enough to face him."
Then a young version of him asking, "But if he's a meanie, how did he have many friends now?" thinking about the gang.
"Well, that's because of me. He scares the hell out of his business associates but not with me. He don't scare me."
"Wow! You must be the bravest dad!" Young Seya's eyes sparkling with adoration. Jou just grinned when they heard a laugh.
"Actually brat, your dad is the stupidest mutt in Domino so he doesn't know who's to bite and who's to praise."
"Seto! What a way to chop my ego infront of your child!" Jou pouted while Seto just laugh again. Seya laughed with his father and since Kaiba laughter is contagious, Jou laughed as well.
"What are you grinning at?" large honey-brown eyes shook him out from stupor.
"Um...nothing dad." Seya answered before realizing what he had said. Katsuya looked at him like he'd grown a horn or something.
"Hello! Earth to Seya! Newsflash, I'm not your dad." Jou grinned at him. 'Maybe he's missing home.'
Seya blushed. He doesn't know why but hearing that from his dad hurts. "Uh...sorry about that. You see, you have the same eyes as my dad. Also, you look just like him...just older." he bowed his head. He's missing him really bad. Jou looked at him and felt bad. He didn't mean to make him sad.
"Hey...don't be like that." Jou slung his arm over Seya's shoulder as he leads him towards their classroom. "Know what? How 'bout we hit the arcade after school then go to an ice cream parlor. Ice cream's good for the soul, you know?"
Seya smiled at him. At the span of twenty years, his dad did not change a bit. He always try to cheer him up whenever he's down. He nodded.
"Good! We'll bring the gang too. And if you like, you could eat with us this lunch." they entered the room. Nobody notices them except his dad's friend.
"Sure. Thanks...uh..."
"Jou. Just call me Jou." Katsuya grinned at him before heading towards Yugi's desk. Seya smiled as he walk towards his desk. But as he past by his father's desk, he can't help but shiver.Seto didn't know why but seeing the brat and the mutt together with the mutt's arm slunged at gaki's shoulder made his blood boil. It looked like the two had become friends and for him, that's...somewhat unacceptable.
Though there's this certain feeling that tells him that there's nothing to worry about. That there's nothing he SHOULD worry about. It's not his business about their affairs but...they're too close for comfort.
'I'm confused. Was it because I saw the mutt with the brat or is it the other way around? And why am I worrying like this. It's not like I have a claim over one of them. It's not like I'm inlo--' Seto stopped.
'WHAT THE HECK AM I THINKING?!!!!!!!' he wanted to smash the book he's holding to his forehead. He DID not just think that he...he...HE Could like one of them. That's unacceptable!!!
It's not like he give a shit about his preferrences. He had known long before that he's not interested with the opposite sex. Though this answered his question if he's gay or just plain asexual. But that's not the point.
Sure, he had come in to terms that he respect the mutt. And in some level, he likes Jou but not to the extent that he's obssessive about him...nope, he had yet to reach that point. Well...there are those dreams and weird moments he space out when looking at him. Not to count that little album where he kept Jou's pics (Some were stolen shots, some were from his duelist database.) Nope, he's not yet obsess about him.
Then there's Seya. Strutting there like he had known them and had willingly stayed at the Kaiba Mansion.(2) Not to mention his familiarity with the brat, he's just like Katsuya, another firebrand and he could foretell that this one also bites back.
The point is he's confused. Torn even...between Seya and Katsuya, wrapped in a rope he dare not call love.At lunch....
"Here!" Jou called at Seya when he spotted the blond looking at the tables. Seya just brightened before heading towards them.
As he approach, he could see his dad devouring his meal while his uncle Yugi sat beside him eating his apple silently. His uncle Ryou and Uncle Bakura were arguing while his Uncle Honda's having a conversation with Anzu. Yami sat beside Yugi watching the two albino argue, trying to stifle a yawn. He's about to sit down when he saw someone familiar.
"Oh yeah, this is Otogi Ryuugi.(3) He's from the same class as ours but he didn't attend the morning session." Yugi introduced.
Seya nodded. He can't help but frown. He remembered him now. He's just five or six years old back then. Uncle Otogi had paid them a visit once when he came back from America and he could tell that he and his father were not in good terms.
After Otogi left, Seto and Jou had a huge fight. He's used with his parent's bickering but this one is different. It scared him. Like they'll separate that day. Though they did make up after three days, it's been imprinted on Seya's mind.
An idea then sparked in his mind. If Uncle Otogi could do that in the future, what's wrong on using him to separate them now, here in the past?
Though there's still one thing that plague him. What's up with his Uncle Otogi and his father Seto?
"For the last time, no! I will not go out with you." Katsuya hissed as he slaps Otogi's hand away. Otogi just grinned at him before standing up.
"Someday you'll will. I assure you that, pup!" Otogi blew him a kiss before turning away.
'So that's why.' Seya thought as he's been enlightened. He then smirked very Kaiba like.

1. I don't know Mokuba's age so I'm guessing here. If you know, please tell me.
2. This is from his point of view 3. I'm confused. Was it ryuuigi or ryuugi?
A/N: I've written about half of chapter 7 and had plotted the next chappies though I still have to type it. I pretty much planned the outcome and just revising as I go on. I'm planning on doing two versions of the end chapter. What do you think?
mandapandabug()- Sorry you blew up! Gomen! ::offers Jou plushie as peace offering:: Thanks for loving this story and that was really a good suggestion. But we'll see if Seto would find it. :) (BTW, I was feeling down that day when I read your review. And guess what? It made me laugh 'cause it's funny. )
YamiLava- Thanks! That's okay. About Seya not being born, it's actually THAT idea who's to blame for me writing this story. I just have to write about it so yeah. Eneweiz, good for you. My holiday is still months away ::sigh:: Have a good holiday!!!
joey baby-Thanks! I'll lend Seya to you once this story is finished. Then you can do whatever you want to him. Just bring him back in one piece or Jou and Seto will kill me. :P
Killian- Thanks. Yeah, but we'll see if he gets to know more about his father...
suupu-shan- Thanks! :)
