Dog Fights
The idea behind today's slogan belongs to lilmatchgirl007, who wrote: Now, I dunno about you, but when I think of a slogan for Mokuba, most of them have some sorta reference to 'kidnap bait'… I mean, the kid keeps getting captured so his big bro can duel someone or other. Hard life for such a cute kid.
'Ah, the trials in the life of kidnap bait.'
Seto coughed and looked away, face flushing a mortified pink.
Mokuba looked up from the bumper sticker in his hands. "I believe I can lay the blame for that solely at your feet, brother dear," he said sweetly, venom dripping from his every word.
Seto whipped around to stare down at his brother. "Me? It isn't my fault that so many people kidnap you to get to me."
"I never said it was your fault," Mokuba enunciated clearly. "I said that I was going to blame you."
Joey chuckled at the brothers' byplay, bringing their attention to their audience of one. "You're bein' a bit unfair dere, Mokuba," he said.
Frowning mutinously, Mokuba grumbled, "Talk about unfair. I'd just like one of those people who want to duel ani-sama to try asking him first before they snatch me."
"Maybe you should try fightin' dem off," Joey offered.
"But I don't know how to fight," Mokuba pointed out.
"I could teach ya," Joey offered.
"Oh, no way," Seto broke in. "I'm not about to let you beat up my little brother, Wheeler," he clarified, seeing the two confused looks directed his way.
"Hey, now, Seto, I'm only gonna show 'em some self-defense moves," Joey defended himself. "And dat's if he wants to."
"He doesn't want to," Seto said firmly.
"Yes, actually, I do," Mokuba said. Reaching out, he snagged the sleeve of Joey's jacket and started dragging him towards the door. "C'mon, Joey."
Chuckling, Joey said, "Sure, kid, but calm down a little, all right?"
Seto's eyes flashed. "Wheeler, if you hurt my brother, I swear…" he growled, letting himself trail of menacingly.
Joey grinned and interrupted his boyfriend with, "Yare, yare, I know. I'll be sleepin' on da couch."
Seto smirked grimly. "No, you'll be in the doghouse, mutt."
Joey grimaced. "Very funny," he groused.
Seto's smirk widened. "I thought so," he said in a pleased tone of voice.
Mokuba giggled.
