Warning Labels
Few people would find the sight of two kids, sprawled on a couch and eating popcorn while watching a movie together strange. Unless they knew, really knew, who these two particular kids were.
Mokuba Kaiba and Shizuka Kawai were content to munch their popcorn on a sofa in the living room at the Kaiba residence while watching Jurassic Park 3 (1). But after a while, the movie was ignored in favor of a rather interesting conversation.
"You know," the volume on the movie descended, "it's been a couple hours," Shizuka started.
"It has," Mokuba agreed. "You realize," he continued, "we are both so grounded when they get out of there."
Please note here-- these two had boldly locked their elder brothers in a room together several hours before, and had then proceeded to watch all three Jurassic Park movies, from the beginning. Things were, well, rather odd in said room.
"Kid siblings should come with warning labels."
"Why do you say that, pup?"
It just so happened they'd been locked in the den. Currently, both were on the couch, Seto reading a book at one end, and Jou lay across the rest of it, his head on a pillow in Seto's lap.
"Because if they did, we probably wouldn't be stuck in here, now would we?"
"Perhaps," Seto mused, "but I think I rather like this."
"Me too."
Joey paused, reaching a hand up to touch Seto's face, as if checking to see he was really there.
"Why aren't we fighting again? We usually do."
Seto pondered this.
"I suppose..."
"Yeah?"
"Well, perhaps, since there's no one else around, we don't feel the need to act. We are just acting when we fight, aren't we?"
"I guess so. Never really thought about it. You think those two are behaving themselves together?"
"Who? Mokuba and Shizuka? They're good kids. I don't think we have to worry. Unless they forget to unlock the door. Then we might have a problem.'
"Great. Just what I wanted to hear."
Seto smiled down at his puppy. If this was what he got for it, even if Mokuba did have a warning label, Seto would have ignored it. Besides, who reads warning labels like that anyway?

(1) Uh, heh heh, yeah. I own all three Jurassic Park movies. But basically I just needed a long something to keep Mokie and Shizu busy for hours. Have you ever watched all three straight through? It's like five and a half hours or something.
Aseret Kitsune: You liked it? Really? Oh yay! And thank you for being my first reviewer on this. Here's another one. I hope you enjoy it as well.
Hikari-Aoi: Personally I thought I had Seto sort of OOC. But you don't seem to think so, and honestly, I've never trusted my own judgement on people like Seto. Jou is easy and fun to write. Seto's a little trickier. Thank you for reviewing.
Cookies for both reviewers! And heck, brownies to everyone who reviews this time.
