Chapter 10- Crush


-Friday-

-Serenity-

I was at the mall with Mokuba, helping him look for a perfect red colored tuxedo. I noticed that he took his time finding the right color. He even called Rebecca and she said that wanted a blood red color and he agreed. He chose a nice suit and with a grin on his face, he entered the dressing room to change.

I enjoy talking to Mokuba. He is so adorable and always makes my sadness go away with his sweet smiles. Mokuba told me that he heard all the cruel words Seto said to me last night.

-Flashback-

"Why would I fall in love with an Ugly Duckling like you?" he asked with a harsh tone.

-End of Flashback-

It hurt badly, but I got over it. It was like him to say such callous and malevolent words. I wonder if he meant it after all. Am I really as ugly as he says I am? Mokuba opened the dressing room door and he came out, smiling

"How do I look?" he said in a sophisticated voice with a huge grin on his face.

He wore a blood red bowtie, a blood red sash around his waist, a white, long sleeve shirt, and then a black jacket that had two tails. He then had black slacks, with black dress shoes, and then a top hat that had a blood red band around it.

"Wow Mokuba! You look handsome," I said happily and put my hands together.

"Think so? How should I have my hair?" he asked as he went to a mirror and looked at himself.

"I think you should tie it back," I said giving him some advice.

"It will make you look older if you do," I added as he turned around and smiled at me.

"Cool! Do you think Becky will like it?" He said as he walked cool.

"Becky?" I asked confused.

"That's her nickname I gave her. Although, she was a little upset, but I told her if she wanted to call me Mokie, I would have to call her Becky," he explained and stopped walking.

"I see. Well, I hope she isn't still mad at you," I said as I walked to him and smiled.

"Nah, we talked about it and she said that it was okay for me to call her that. But I'm not going to call her that all the time. She doesn't know that I'm just teasing her a little," he added and grinned at me.

"You're so mean Mokuba!" I joked and he giggled.

"Yeah, all thanks to Seto," he added and walked back to the mirror.

I took a seat and kept watching him.

"Sir," The raven-haired boy said as an employee came up to him.

"Do you like it Mr. Kaiba?" he asked Mokuba. The vice president of KaibaCorp nodded.

"I'll take it," Mokuba answered and went back to the dressing room.

"Hey Serenity, can you help look for a corsage after when this?" he asked me kindly.

"Sure," I smiled at him and he warmly smiled back, closing the door.


-Seto-

Quickly splashing my face with cold water, I took a deep breath, scratched the back of my head and leaned up. I walked out of the bathroom and heard the front door open.

"Seto! I'm home!" I heard my brother yell happily as he entered my room. Serenity came in shortly after him.

I looked up and saw her looking at me, and then blushed. She quickly reverts her eyes to the ground and stared at it with great interest. I tilted my head to the side, not understanding why she did that.

"Brother! Serenity helped picked out tuxedo and corsage for the prom next week," he happily said, jumping up and down.

"Is that so?" I added keeping my eyes on Serenity as she still stared at the ground.

"Yes, Serenity helped a lot," he said happily and hopped to Serenity.

She looked up at him and smiled.

"Your welcome Mokuba. I would do for you anytime," she said as he left my room, closing the door behind him.

I peered into her brown eyes and she blushed, then grabbing the doorknob. I quickly rushed to her and grabbed her right wrist so she couldn't escape. She looked up at me and then away. Why was she doing that?

I looked down and noticed I had no shirt on, only my navy slacks. My perfect chest and rock hard abs were revealed. Maybe I should tense her up a little.

"Are you alright?" I asked her pretending to be confused.

"I… uh… should leave. I had a great time with Mokuba. And I think you have some work to do," she said still looking away.

My heart ached for some unknown reason and I let go of her wrist. She turned the doorknob, but I quickly put my key in the keyhole and locked it.

"What are you-," she looked up, and I was about an inch from her face.

She blushed again and blinked. She looked cute like that.

Wait, what am I thinking! I have officially lost my mind! Help me, Kami!

"I…I'm… sorry for what I said to you yesterday. I didn't mean it," I told her, stammering a bit since I didn't appoligize often. A tear fell from her eye and rolled down her soft cheek.

"It's okay. I understand. I already got that out of my mind since -," she started to say kindly, but I interrupted her.

"No, I mean it. I didn't know what I was thinking. How about I take you out somewhere?" I told her putting my hand underneath her chin.

She looked up at me and smiled warmly.

"Thank you Seto," she happily said and removed a strand of blond hair from her eyes.

"I…" I started to say and began to wonder what it was like to kiss her.

She kept staring at me and then her eyes went back down to my chest. The blond haired girl blushed again.

"Seto, do you mind putting a-," she asked me until I went to the closet and took out a white shirt.

I put it on, and then put on a baby blue, long sleeved shirt. Then I turned to her and she smiled.

"You look… uh…," she started to say and looked back down to the floor.

"Attractive?" I said and smirked.

"No...," she still looked down.

"Great?"

"No…."

"Good-looking?" I asked trying to figure out what she wanted to say.

I put my dark blue, trench coat on and walked to her. I leaned down to her really closed as our lips were about to touch and I put the key in the keyhole, unlocking it.

"Then what?" I asked as she looked up.

"Handsome," she said kindly and blushed.

I smirked evilly at her and leaned down.

"Handsome? Has the duckling got a thing for me?" I teased and snickered.

I felt myself began to breath a little hard and began to tug my collar. She looked at me and blinked a few times in confusion.

What was this feeling… this feeling of excitement yet confusion? What is love?

"No, I-," she started to say, but I quickly put my face very close to hers.

-Flashback-

She yelled, "Don't fall in love with me!"

-End of Flashback-

I shook the thought away and stood up. She turned the doorknob and opened the door.

"Serenity, will you spend the whole day tomorrow with me at Kaibaland?" I asked her as she turned around.

"Sure, what time?" she asked kindly. She gave another heart warming smile.

I looked at her and my heart softened.

"I'll pick you up at 8:15 in the morning," I said to her and she simply nodded.

"Alright, I'll be up by then," she said as she walked out.

"Wait! I'll take you home," I said as I ran to her.

She stopped and looked up at me.

"Okay," she said as she grabbed her backpack and we walked downstairs.


-Serenity-

I was at home on my bed. I began to think of Seto and felt my face heat up at the thought of him shirtless. His fine toned body and abs, proof that Seto actually works out. And those muscles... Ah! Bad thoughts! I could feel my face heating up even more.

"Kyaah!" I squealed. "What has gotten into me?" Oh god! I sound like a rabid fangirl.

Then I remembered something.

'"Serenity, will you go spend the whole day with me at Kaibaland?"'

I'm sure he said my name, not duckling or any other rude name.

And what was the deal of him leaning so close to me? I swear we were about to kiss! Why do I think of Seto like this? It can't be that... I actually LIKE him? Dear Kami. Seto is Joey's enemy! I'm not supposed to like him. Besides, even if I do like him, he wouldn't like me back. He said that I am ugly. I buried my head into my pillow.

I closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep but I kept seeing icy blue eyes staring at me.


-Seto-

We were about to kiss. We were about to kiss.

I shook the thoughts away and leaned back against my chair.

Why do I feel disappointed? It's almost as if I have a crush on that blonde-haired girl. Yeah right.

I looked at my computer screen and for the first time I actually felt good for once. Then, the numbers and words became a blur. Why am I thinking about her? I should be focusing on Kaiba Corp, not just some low-life girl.

I tried to continue with my work, but all failed. It's because of her. I keep on thinking about her. Why? I, Seto Kaiba, didn't have a plausible answer to that question, unless you count me having that possibility of liking her. Which is a possibility. Gah! What am I thinking? A splitting headache began to form in my head. She's a duckling. I glared at the computer screen, confused with my emotions

Serenity, what have you done to me?


YAY!
