Thankies for the reviews! Theres going to be a little bit of reference to the Chobits series in this chapter, but I promise that I won't do it again in future chappies! Enjoy!
Chapter 2
Seto walked up the stair case of the building, dripping wet and a very angry-at-the world expression on his face. It had rained on Seto as he was outside, thinking of the big pile of work back at home as he was being followed by a crazy lavender eyed guy with blonde hair, who had decided to chat to Seto even though he was being ignored. The blonde shortly left him after being distracted by something shiny as the rain started to fall heavily.
'That guy looks a lot like Marik... except he's much taller and much saner than the one who was there a minute ago... wait was he wearing some sort of weird head phones? I don't care, he's gone and I don't want to know anything about him because I want to go home, burn all the work papers and sleep forever...'
Seto made it to the fourth floor and sighed.
"well it can't get any worse than this..."
Suddenly Seto tripped over some object, landing flat on his face. For a moment he stayed still groaning to himself.
"Today... is not my day..."
He picked himself up and quickly turned to see what he had tripped over. His eyes widen with surprise to see a blonde hair boy who looked around his age, lying on the floor as if he was asleep. Seto panicked for a second thinking the blonde was dead, when he noticed the metallic brown ears on his head. The blonde was wearing a large white shirt and black shorts... which seemed very short in Seto's opinion.
"What the hell? Who, what is he?"
Seto bent down to touch the ears, which lead him to trace his finger across the lightly tanned face.
'He's so soft... and so beautiful...'
Seto then realized what he was doing and jumped up in shock, with a dark red blush across his face.
"What am I doing! What am I thinking? What the..."
Seto felt someone tugging his coat behind him, which Seto responded by turning around quickly, giving out a loud yelp and tripping over on to the blonde boy in the process.
"Whats up bro!"
Seto looked up at the chirpy Mokuba who was standing above him with a giant grin on his face.
"Mokuba, don't do that to me, you... gave me quite a jump."
After a long pause, Mokuba smirked playfully down at Seto.
"Comfy down there Seto?"
Seto blinked for a moment, turning to his side to see that he was face to face with the boy, noticing that his hand was on the blonde's waist and that the boy's lips were slightly parted. Instantly, Seto lept up with an even brighter blush than before and trying to regain a calm posture to show that nothing was the matter.
"It seems that, uh... somebody has left out some weird doll out, and so I tripped over him and uh..."
"You decided to grope a doll?"
"NO! Thats not what happened!"
"Hey wait a minute!" Mokuba ran past Seto to the strange boy on the floor, checking out the ears.
"I think he's one of those... yes! I knew it!"
Seto's face suddenly fell from blushing tomato to a great look of total confusion. After about 10 minutes of his younger brother dancing around the doll boy saying 'I know what it is!' Seto couldn't take the curiosity anymore.
"MOKUBA!"
Mokuba stopped in mid-dance and stared at his brother.
"Yeah Seto?"
"Please tell me before my mind crashes down to the point of no return... what the heck is this thing?"
"Oh is that all?"
Seto fell down with aggravation (just like in an anime!), before standing up normally again with his regular sensible expression as he smoothed his hair down with his hand, whilst placing the other hand on his waist.
"Yes..."
"Well... He is a... Dun dun dun duuuuun!" Mokuba posed over the bronze ear boy, with a crazy-caffeine grin on his face "A Persocom!"
Seto stared at his brother with 'What the hell?' written all over his face, as Mokuba stayed in the same position with sparkly eyes. Seto sighed, covering his face with one hand.
"...You were watching Chobits again, weren't you?"
Mokuba's sparkle disappeared as he looked away from Seto and found a sudden interest in his shoes.
"...Mokuba..."
"Well... I might have watched a few DVD's after a few chocolate coffee bars..."
Seto gave a blank stare towards his younger brother.
"You don't know what this thing is do you?"
"Well he's got the same ears! He could be the real Chi!"
"Mokuba, remember that conversation we had about the difference between fiction and reality..."
"Well what else could explain it?"
Seto and Mokuba gathered round the boy, both wondering what they should do now. Mokuba looked up to Seto with a hopeful look in his eye.
"Can we take him home?"
Seto snapped out of his trance with the boy and gave Mokuba a shocked expression.
"Why?"
"So we can find out more about him... besides he would only be tripping up people in the hall way, and we don't want old lady Rebecca to trip over him, think of the tragedy!"
Seto glaced back at the boy and sighed. "Okay then..."
Seto bent down to pick the boy up bride style, taking a few steps back as he realizes the weight of the blonde. "Well, he's not made of plastic thats for sure..."
Taking a few steps forward, Mokuba and Seto (mostly Seto) brought the bot to their apartment, where Seto carefully laid the blonde down on to the sofa. Seto then sat down on the floor besides, feeling exhausted.
"I took a 25 minute break and I feel more tired than when I was working."
"Think of it this way, how many people would find a cute guy lying around on the floor and take it home with then."
"Yeah well... HUH! Mokuba! You're making it sound like I'm planning something... I'm not going to talk about it now, It's way past your bed time!"
"I wonder if his 'on' switch is in the same place as..." (1)
"GO TO BED!"
"Alright, alright. Sheeesh! I'll leave you alone to explore your new friend..."
Mokuba left the room as Seto sighed. A few minutes later, Seto's face glowed back to bright red again as he realizes what Mokuba had just said.
"What does he mean by explore?"
Seto mentally screamed to himself before looking up to an old photograph of when Mokuba and himself were children, sitting on their Mother's lap as their Father stood in the background.
"Mother... where did I go wrong for Mokuba to become the hyperactive child he is today? Why didn't he turn out to be one of those calm and normal kids like you see on TV?"
Seto turned to see the boy's face. He looked so peaceful, as if he was asleep and so beautiful. Seto shook his head as if trying to shake away those thoughts.
"Thats ridiculous. He's nothing more than an oversized doll... still..."
Seto got up and sat on the edge of the sofa so he could have a closer look at the boy. Seto slowly raised his hand over to the side of the face, feeling the softness of the face. His hand then traced towards the shiny ears, noticing there was some sort of catch release on the side. Seto hovered for a moment before pulling the tab. The ear suddenly opened up, making Seto jump and fall on to the floor. Seto got up to look inside the ear, noticing a white button inside.
"I wonder... is this an 'on' switch?..."
Seto reached inside, once again his fingers hovered as he was still wandering if he should start up this boy or... whatever this was!
"Maybe he's broken? He might even work, or worse... the real 'on' button could be down..."
Seto's gulped as he suddenly had an image appear in his face.
"Well I'm not going to find over just by thinking..."
Seto pressed the button, hearing a 'click' and waited a few minutes. When nothing happened, Seto sighed loudly as his forehead landed on the boy's chest.
"All worked up for nothing..."
Suddenly he heard a 'thump' inside the chest. Seto's eyes snapped opened as he began to hear the soft thumping from inside the boy, like a heart beat.
"What the..."
Seto sat up, seeing the boy's eyes open up to reveal a set of bright amber eyes. The blonde blinked a few times as he looked up into Seto's blue eyes. Seto stared in amazement, not truly believing what was happening. Feeling that he had to say something, Seto tried to keep an formal expression to greet the boy with.
"Hello, my name is Seto Kaiba..."
As Seto was speaking, the blonde sat up at the same level as the brunette, with a curious look in his eyes and reached out to hold Seto's face in his hand. Seto stopped in mid sentence, not knowing what he should do. The now activated boy drew his face closer to Seto, pausing a few minutes before smiling cheerfully.
"Hello!"
