Excuse me, my Name is Gackt!

Seto felt utterly bad.
Five hours had passed since Serenity left the mansion… quite madly. Why wasn't she back yet? Did she really mean what she had said? Would she only come back if Seto apologized?
Preposterous! She would come back. It was past six in the evening and surely she would turn up any second. But as the clock showed half past eight Seto clenched his fists and cursed. It had all began rather simply…
She was listening to him again. But not just like any normal human would listen to music, no, like a complete lunatic. She had turned up the volume to its maximum! How was Seto supposed to work when that freak's loud voice was blaring throughout the whole mansion?
In deadly determined strides Seto went into the bedroom to find her swirling their Hoover across the carpet, singing along to… him! Or it. Whatever you pleased to call the freak.
"Mou... modorenai yo to nakinagara kurikaesu; noesis..."
There's no going back! Damn right!
„Kawar---hey!" Serenity shrieked as the music died down and she looked into two pools of blue. "What are you doing?"
"I won't have you listening to this crap anymore."
"Wha---what…?" Words failed to form as she watched him opening the CD-player. Swift fingers snatched the CD and… Crack!... broke it simply in two.
Seto watched her expression, switching from confusion into anger, and then in absolute shock. Never had he seen his Serenity looking so… crushed. She stared at him with an utterly horror-stricken face…
How… could he?
Suddenly her usually so bright hazel eyes looked at him in such a deathly manner that even the great Seto Kaiba inwardly flinched. He could feel a stab in his chest as guilt was flooding his system. Then, she stormed out of the bedroom.
"Where are you going?" he called after her as she fled down the stairs.
She didn't turn to respond. "Some place I can listen to whatever I want! And I won't come back until you've apologized. You're such a heartless idiot, Seto!"
Seto flinched, this time obviously, as she slammed the door shut.
Fine! She'll come back sooner or later… better sooner… very soon!
That's at least what he had thought seven hours ago.
Growling to himself he grabbed his jacket and hurried out of the mansion.
Half past ten Seto stared at the small package on his desk and sighed. Would she really not come back until he had apologized?
Her problem! He had bought her damn CD! He had done his part. She was childish to run away simply because he 'broke' her favorite CD… which she loved so dearly…
But did she love the CD more, or him?
Once she came back everything would be fine. Until then he really should not think about it that much. She was probably right now pouring her heart out to… someone. The mutt?
Would she be crying?
Why did Seto feel like someone was stabbing him? Why was his chest tightening… clenching?
Guilt.
He hated to feel guilt.
Little did he feel until he met Serenity. She had turned him inside out, upside down and changed his life.
Without her…
No! Don't even think about it! She will be back! She would not leave you! Not because of such a stupid thing you've done…
Seto needed distraction, something to calm his mind and nerves; that would let him breath again.
…
When Serenity entered the mansion a loud noise came from the living room. Curiously she quirked an eyebrow at the strange sounds, and then she saw him.
Seto was singing along to the song he had been listening to for the last two hours or so; the song Serenity had been singing. He was gazing at the ceiling, hardly able to keep his eyes open but singing loudly while his head was swaying from side to side onto the sofa.
„Kimi ha nakigara wo dakishime; kowashite kieta mono to madoiau; aoku moeru honoo wo; yurerugase; 'dare gad... watashi wo tomerareru no?' to kurikaesu; noesis..."
Serenity tilted her head to the side as she regarded the young man whose feet were dangling across the headboard while his back was slumped across the red velvet and the cushions. His head was awkwardly bent sideways as he held an empty bottle in his hand.
Slowly it dawned on her…
Seto was drunk.
That was rare. But the fact that he sang along to Gackt was ever more… shocking! But funny at the same time. And satisfying… obviously her CD was playing. Though that couldn't be as her CD was broken. By him. He must have bought another one. The same. For her.
She smiled at his stupidity as he tried to sing another verse. Oh, Seto clearly wasn't made for singing. She had to make him stop.
"Seto?"
"Huh?" His head turned slowly as he looked her up and down, then grinned. "Excuse me? My name is Gackt."
Serenity laughed and sat down beside him, carefully cradling his head into her lap. "Well then, Gackt, I'm here to apologize. I shouldn't have turned up the volume so loud; that was unfair."
"Eep." He reached out a hand and brushed along her cheek. "I don't feel too well."
"Do you… do you need to… retch?"
"Nooo…" He shook his head. "Gackt is sorry. Gackt broke your CD. Gackt wants you to love him."
"Does he?" She giggled at his nodding head with the tousled brown strands. "And how much exactly has Gackt been drinking?"
"One…" he grinned. "Bottle."
She raised her brows.
"Gackt feels sick," he said and hiccupped. "But he loves you."
"And I love you." She smiled down at him and tapped his nose playfully. "Is Gackt tired?"
"Very." He smiled and closed his eyes.
The music was still playing. Seto was fast asleep in Serenity's lap
Serenity sighed. "And how am I supposed to bring Gackt into his bed?"
No response but a soft snore.
-
The End.

(I've read too much InuYasha fan fiction lately… but I'm glad I came up with something at all this time. Hope you enjoy...)
