Mokuba's stomach let out a huge growl. Sheepishly he looked at Yugi with a lowered head.

"I think we better get your stomach something, otherwise it's gonna do all the talking." Laughed Yugi.

Settling down with a can of drink each and the oven bake pizza from Yugi's never ending frozen food supply, the conversation steered back to Mokuba's pressing question.

"What do you want to know?" asked Yugi crossing his arms and leaning forward on the bench. He was relaxed and ready for anything…

"Do you think Seto is kind and loving?"

Yugi blinked a few times. "Sorry?"

"Do you think Seto is kind and loving?" repeated the boy.

If it wasn't for the serious look on Mokuba's face, Yugi would have sworn that the boy was playing games with him.

"Um." He screwed up his nose and rubbed it several times. "Well yes. With you I mean."

Mokuba looked thoughtful.

"Do you think a girl would find him kind and loving."

"Jou must have smelled this coming a mile away. Why else would suddenly remember a meeting that wasn't there before."

Yugi seemed to be developing a sudden case of fleas, as he began to scratch his hair all over.

"Why do you ask?"

"Oh, no reason." Answered the boy, demolishing the huge slice of Hawaiian in his hand.

"Yugi?"

"Yes Mokuba?"

"Do you think I'm kind and loving?"

"Without a doubt."

Mokuba grinned.

"Yugi?"

"Yes Mokuba?" slightly slower than before.

"Why does Anzu think that Seto's kind and loving?"

Yugi choked, struggling for air as the fizzy contents of his mouth made their way up through his nose and out. Mokuba fell off his stool laughing, rolling and rocking himself around the floor. It was at this point that the CEO of Kaiba Corp chose to make his entrance. Looking firstly at the writhing creature that somehow resembled his brother to the nearly blue Yugi.

"An interesting look Yugi, but the blue doesn't match the rest of you. Mokuba get up off the floor now and get Yugi a glass of water."

Mokuba sobered quickly. "Yes big brother."

"Let me guess," continued a shrewd looking Seto. "You've either been told the worlds most hilarious joke or you have just been asked what girls want?"

Gripping the bench, Yugi shook his head still struggling to ease his sore throat and regain his breath. Though slightly strained he answered.

"No, but nearly."

Seto's all too famous brow ascended once more. "Oh."

"Kaiba, are you aware that Mokuba has a crush on Anzu?"

"Yes!" Came the reply.

"Do you think it's safe for him to harbour a dream that won't come true?"

"He'll grow out of it."

"How can you be so sure!"

Seto frowned in thought. "A good question. How do I answer it?"

Mokuba returned with Yugi's glass of water. Slowly the colour made it's way back to Yugi's face.

"Thanks Mokuba."

His only response a small smile.

"Mokuba?"

"Yes big brother."

"Why is it that you want to know what girls want?"

The young boy looked panicked, and started to shift uncomfortably on his stool.

"Mokuba. I asked you a question."

Mokuba's gaze flickered from Seto to Yugi and back again. Not looking directly at his brother, he answered quietly.

"I was curious."

"Well it's something that we all think about eventually." Put in Yugi. "I mean we all have our first crush and want to know more."

Mokuba looked confused. "Do you have a crush on someone?" came the innocent question.

Yugi looked lost.

"What Yugi means Mokuba, is that we understand what you are feeling, we've been there and done that."

Mokuba's confused frown deepened. "What I'm feeling?" He echoed. "But Seto I don't understand, what do you mean by what I'm feeling?"

This was going to be harder than he thought. With a slight show of exasperation he opted for the most direct route.

"Mokuba we understand that you have a crush on Anzu, but believe me it's something that you will grow out of."

Mokuba's eyes grew to the size of saucers and his jaw hung slightly loose. Shaking his head he struggled for words to voice the torrent of thoughts that were flowing through his head. Instead he opted for one, and it happened to be the most common of his recent conversations.

"WHAT!"

Solomon Mouto raced to the back of the shop.

"Is everything all right, back here."

Watching Mokuba from the corner of his eye Yugi assured his grandpa that everything was indeed okay. Solomon made his way out to the front counter again.

Silence was the only thing that could be heard for the next few minutes. No one seemed able to say a word. It was Mokuba who recovered first.

"You think that I have a crush on Anzu?"

Both men nodded their heads. It was now Mokuba's turn to blink.

"I take it," said Seto dryly "That you don't."

No response

"Mokuba do you or don't you? Why do you so desperately need to know what girls want or see Mazaki so urgently?" Impatience with the whole situation was starting to grow on Seto

Mokuba chewed his bottom lip. "Anzu, you said her name was Anzu." Came a quiet voice.

"Yes I know full well what her name is, BUT WHAT I AM ASKING IS WHY."

The boy began to cry. "BECAUSE I WANT A MOTHER. I MEAN A BIG SISTER." Silence "now I don't know what I mean."

The distinct jingle of bells indicated that someone new had entered the shop. Yugi strained to hear the conversation. Footsteps could be heard and then came a voice that belonged to none other than the lady of the hour herself.

"Why are you crying Mokuba?"

Throwing himself into her arms he wept bitterly. Gently wrapping her arms about the sobbing child she rested her cheek on his head, and waited for the eventual subsidence of emotion.

a/n - the response I am receiving is overwhelming. If there are any nit picky little things that you don't like, please don't hesitate to tell me. I can't promise that I will change them, but I will take the criticism on board.

Oh and this may be a little late down the track, but my apologies J C for turning this into an azureshipping. I hope you can forgive me and keep reading
