"talk"

'thoughts'

Seto stretched his back and relaxed in his comfy leather chair. He had finally finished fixing all the problems created by "someone".

"That was tiring." He said to himself and reached for his cup of coffee. Unfortunately, it was cold.

"Shit." He muttered and put the cup down. He was about to grab the phone to order a new one when the door opened and tea stepped in. he put the phone back and stood up to greet her.

"Hi." She said.

"You have perfect timing." Seto said. "I really need some distraction from all this work." He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer.

"Seto, I am here to talk." Tea said. The tone of her voice worried seto. She sounded upset. What had he done?

"Go ahead." He said, tightening his grip on her waist.

"It's about… Mokuba." Tea finally said. Seto's eyes widened in surprise.

"What about him?"

"Seto, he's been acting really weird. I never realized it before but yesterday, when he invited to that little private pool party, that's when I noticed." Tea said.

"Noticed what?" seto was confused.

"Seto, you have to promise to listen to me before saying anything. Do you promise?" tea asked. She knew seto would never believe her. She herself didn't want to believe it.

"Okay. I promise. Now what is it?" Seto's curiosity grew.

"Well…." And she told him everything that had happened on the day of her performance and at the pool. As promised, Seto listened intently, his brows knitting into frowns.

"And that's about all. Seto, I don't know what to do? What if--." Before Tea could finish, Seto interrupted her.

"I am sure it's just a misunderstanding tea. But just for you, I'll talk to him today. Okay?" seto said calmly. Tea's face fell a bit.

"Okay." She said.

"Don't look so glum. It's probably just a mistake." Seto said, kissing the top of her head. Tea wrapped her arms around him in a hug.

"I hope so seto. I really do." She whispered.

'Me too.' Seto silently added.

Mokuba idly sat in the living room, flipping through channels, when seto came in.

"Mokuba, I have to talk to you." His stern tone clearly stated he was not in the mood of excuses or attitude. So mokuba turned the TV off and faced his brother.

"What is it?" he said in a bored tone. Seto frowned at his brother's attitude.

"How was the pool party yesterday?" seto asked causally, his eyes fixed on Mokuba's face.

"It was great." Mokuba said, smiling slightly. Seto noticed the pleased look in his eyes and his suspicion grew.

"Glad you had fun."

"Is that all?" mokuba asked.

"Actually, I wanted to talk to you about you." Seto said. Mokuba frowned in confusion.

"What do you mean?"

"When I was your age, you were at my tail, trying to find me a girlfriend. And now look at you, you don't have one."

"What are you getting at Seto?"

"That you should get a girlfriend." Seto finally said. Mokuba's face contorted in anger.

"I don't need a girlfriend." Mokuba spat.

"Yes you do." Seto maintained. "That's what you did to me."

"I said I don't want one." Mokuba yelled.

"Why?"

"I don't have to tell you." Mokuba spat.

"Tell me the kind of girl you want." Seto said.

"None of your business Seto." Mokuba said and went back to watching TV.

"Come on. I need to know Mokuba. I feel guilty about leaving you alone when I go out with Tea."

"Well maybe you should stop going out with her then." Mokuba spit before he could stop himself. Seto's eyes widened.

"Why should I?" Seto asked.

"Because you don't deserve her." Mokuba spoke, much to Seto's fear.

"And you do?" Seto purposely asked.

"Yeah." Mokuba spoke before he could think. "Maybe I do deserve her more then you."

"Mokuba." Seto said in a stern voice.

"What?" mokuba said. He didn't seem too guilty or shocked at what he had just said.

"I advise you to think over what you're doing mokuba."

"What am I doing?"

"I know what happened at the little pool party mokuba. And I have a feeling I know the hacker in the kaiba Corp. system as well." Seto said. Worry clouded Mokuba's face. Seto's suspicions were confirmed.

"Listen carefully to what I have said. I don't like to repeat myself." With that, seto walked upstairs.

Tea sat on the couch, waiting for seto to return from the kitchen. Seto had invited her to come over to his mansion for a visit. He wanted to assure her that everything was fine and she needn't fear coming over. Also, mokuba was out, so this was a perfect opportunity for both lovers to get comfortable.

"Here you go." Seto said, placing the bowl of popcorn on the table.

"Thanks." Tea said, eating some. Seto lay on the couch and placed his head in her lap. Tea smiled and bent down to kiss his forehead. He smiled at her affection.

"Let's watch a movie." He suggested and turned the TV on.

As they watched the movie, Tea slowly ran her fingers through his hair and smiled at his face. Seto noticed her distracted face and sat up.

"What?" she asked.

"You okay?" he asked in a worried tone. She giggled at his concerned face and wrapped her arms around him.

"I'm better then okay." She whispered.

"You are scaring me." Seto joked. Tea pouted.

"Lie down again. I want to play with your hair." She said, patting her lap.

"You better not braid or." Seto grumbled. Tea giggled again and continued running her fingers through his silky locks. Seto relaxed under her soothing touch and closed his eyes in content.

"I love you seto." Tea whispered to him. A smile appeared on his face, but he didn't reply.

Tea was used to it. He was never good at expressing his emotions through words. His actions spoke for him. And his actions spoke loud and clear when he planted his lips upon hers. He sat up and pulled her into his lap, lips still intact. Tea's hands roamed his well-built chest, while his slipped under her shirt, feeling the smooth skin. The two lovers were broken by the tone of the wretched phone.

Seto's cell was ringing. Tea began to pull back but he refrained her from doing so by pulling her towards his body. Tea removed her lips from his' but started kissing and nipping his neck. Seto made no effort to stop her and began talking on the phone.

"Kaiba." He said in the phone. What he heard on the other line caused a frown to appear on his pleased features. Tea also noticed it and stopped her ministrations.

"Hold on." Seto said to the person on the other line and turned to Tea. No words were exchanged but tea knew exactly what he was trying to say. She lightly kissed him to show she understood. He got up and left the room.

Tea sighed and waited for him to finish. There had been some problem at kaiba corp. that tea could tell. What problem was what she didn't know? It must have been important because seto seemed upset. She was so engrossed in her thoughts she didn't notice another presence enter the room and seat besides her, exactly where seto was sitting before. When she realized, she figured it was seto, so she turned with a bright smile on her face. That smile, however, disappeared when she saw who was sitting there.

"Hello Tea." Mokuba said with a strange tone.

"H… hi." Tea meekly replied. She was freaked by his stealth and his presence.

"Seto left you again did he?"" mokuba said.

"N… no. That's not true." Tea spoke.

"He doesn't love you Tea. I tried to tell you before." Mokuba said, inching closer to her. Tea shrunk back as much as possible.

"…" Fear had rendered her speechless.

"He doesn't feel the way I do tea." Mokuba continued, further scaring tea. Once again, his eyes were glazed by lust, desire and obsession.

"Mokuba… you don't--." She began to explain but immediately stopped when mokuba placed his finger on her lips. A smile appeared on his lips and he laid his head in her lap, much like seto had before. Tea gasped loudly when he grabbed her hand and ran her fingers through his hair, as if telling her to continue. However, when he stopped, she removed her hand.

"Don't deny yourself what you and I both want Tea." Mokuba said, placing her hand, forcefully this time, back into his hair.

"I… I have to go." Tea quickly said, getting him, causing his head to tumble out of her lap. But before she could male her escape, mokuba grabbed her wrist.

"Don't be afraid Tea. I would never hurt you." Mokuba pleaded.

"Let me go Mokuba." Tea demanded, but he didn't adhere to her command.

"Please stay Tea. We would never get to be alone like this again." He said, yanking her towards him. She yelped in surprise.

"Let me go mokuba." She said again.

"Why don't you understand."? Mokuba yelled in rage. "Seto is finally gone and we are alone. We should take advantage of this opportunity."

"Mokuba, you're hurting me." Tea said,trying to pullherself away from his iron tight grip.

"I've waited too long for this time to come Tea." Mokuba continued, ignoring her pleads. "I must tell you."

"I don't want to hear it." Tea said. Once again, he ignored it.

"I think about you all the time Tea. I can't get your beautiful face out of my mind." These words buzzed in tea's mind again and again. Her worst fears were coming true.

"I dream about you." Mokuba continued, encouraged by her silence.

'This can't be.' Her mind screamed.

"And I can't bear to see you in seto's arms anymore."

'How could he feel this way about me?'

"He doesn't deserve you at all." Mokuba spoke seto's name with spite and hatred, further shocking her.

'How could he think this way about seto? Or me? What did I do to lead him on?'

"I deserve you more." Mokuba said. He then took a deep breath, ready to say what he had kept in his heart for so long.

"I love you Tea."
