Spoils Of The Good Life
'Yes, I'm spoiled. So what's your point?'
Mokuba made a face at the T-shirt in his hands. "Just because my brother has a lot of money doesn't make me spoiled," he grumbled.
Serenity giggled. "No, but the fact that he'll give you pretty much anything you want does."
Mokuba frowned, dumping the shirt onto the table in front of them. "He will not."
"Will so!" Serenity shot back. "You've got him wrapped around your little finger."
Mokuba huffed. "I think you're thinking of your relationship with your own brother, Serenity," he said dryly.
Serenity coughed, and her cheeks colored a bright scarlet so dark it proved once again that she was a true redhead.
Chuckling, Mokuba said, "Aw, you look so cute when you blush."
Serenity scowled, giving lie to the calm nature that her name suggested. "Yes, well…I can't be a Daddy's Girl, so I've been working my feminine wiles on Joey."
Mokuba's eyes went wide. "Your…what?" he asked, trying hard not to choke.
Serenity sniffed and gave him a hard look. "My feminine wiles," she repeated firmly.
Stifling the urge to laugh, long and loud, Mokuba just nodded instead, figuring there was little way he could go wrong by just agreeing with her. "Whatever you say, Rini."
Narrowing her eyes, she glared at him. "You don't believe I have any, do you?"
It was a risky move, but Mokuba decided to tell her the truth – sort of, anyway. "I think that 'feminine wiles' are a deceptive sort of seduction, and you're not a very deceptive person." There, that wasn't so bad…was it?
Giving him a sidelong glance, Serenity huffed. "Deceptive I may not be...but what about seductive?"
Oh, tread carefully dere, chibi ryuu, Joey's voice spoke up in his head. Seto had always found it funny that Joey Wheeler was the person Mokuba went to for relationship advice, but it wasn't as if his brother had any social skills. "I think you don't need to practice any seduction on me, because you have me wrapped around your little finger," Mokuba said carefully.
Which was, apparently, the exact right thing to say. Only moments after Mokuba had finished answering her question, Serenity had bounded across the room and laid a liplock to end all liplocks on him.
Life is good, Mokuba decided.
Very good.
