Let's review the rules. If you don't like the Seto and Tea pairing then don't read this story and next please review if you do read it!
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh. If I did I would probably have my own real life Seto Kaiba.
Amazement filled the brunette as she looked around. The house must have at least three floors.
"Come on, Gardner! Hurry up!"
"I'm coming!"
Rushing over to Kaiba, Tea tripped and started to fall, but Kaiba caught her in his arms and helped her position herself correctly. As he looked at her face, Kaiba noticed that it was slightly red.
"You really are a clumsy klutz aren't you?" A smirk was on Kaiba's face as he said this to the girl standing in front of him.
"Haha very funny."
Tea followed Kaiba as he began walking towards the door. Again Kaiba pulled his gentleman routine and opened the door for Tea, who walked in very pleased.
When Tea walked in, she was in a temporary moment of shock by the normality of the house. She had expected it to be extravagantly decorated, but it wasn't. Sure it had amazing tiles on the floor and great carpet further on in the living room, but it was just like a normal house.
Tea felt that sense of comfort and happiness as she looked around.
"Do you like the Kaiba mansion?"
Tea turned to see Seto Kaiba standing right next to her. His chocolate brown hair was tussled a little bit and his blue eyes seemed softer than usual. Cerulean eyes met with dark blue as Tea looked at him. Her face was light pink and Kaiba felt a little bit of sweat coming down his neck. Sure he had talked to girls before, but they had always been his secretaries of something to that extent.
"Yes, it's beautiful! I love it!"
"Well, let's get to work."
"Sure."
Tea put her backpack down next Kaiba's and followed him into what looked like an office. However Tea only got a glimpse of it because when Kaiba saw her in there he yelled.
"Get out! This is my personal office. No one but me ever comes in here! Go wait by the couch over there and I'll be there in a minute."
Tea practically ran out at the tone of Kaiba's voice. She went over to the dark blue couch and sat down. Just then there was a loud sound behind her.
"Tea!"
Turning around quickly, Tea saw a small boy with black hair running towards her with his arms open. She caught him in a loving hug then put him down.
"How are you doing, Mokuba?"
"Fine. What are you doing here, Tea?"
"She's here to work on a project with me. Tea and I are married." said a low voice behind Mokuba. He turned around to see his big brother walking towards them
"Hi big brother! What do you mean by you two are married!"
Tea laughed and placed her hand on Mokuba's shoulder. "He means we have a project in health class where we have to pretend that we're married and take care of a flour sack baby."
"Oh." Mokuba said as he looked at his brother. "Does that mean Tea will be staying with you all the time?"
"Not exactly. It just means she will be coming over after school for a while to work on the project. By the way, Gardner, don't you need to call your parents or something to tell t hem you're here?"
"Oh my god! I forgot that they're not home for a week and I left my house key on my dresser this morning!"
Kaiba rolled his dark blue eyes and said, "You can stay the here until they get back if you want. We have plenty of rooms."
"Do you really mean it, Kaiba? I mean they'll be gone for a whole week."
"Why would I be telling you that you could if I didn't mean it? You really are dumb aren't you? Okay hand me the flour sack."
Tea handed the flour sack over to Kaiba and watched as he tried to grab hold of it.
"No that's not how you hold a baby! Look you hold it like this."
Kaiba almost let go of the sack as Tea tried to adjust his arms. She grabbed his hands and moved one of them under the sack to support it and the other to the side of the sack to hold it.
"There that's how you hold a baby and try to be gentle with it."
He blushed as Tea realized that she was still holding onto Kaiba's hands. Quickly letting them go, Tea put her hands behind her back. Kaiba looked to see the brunette was blushing then looked down at the sack.
"We don't really have to act like a married couple, do we?"
"No I don't think so, but we could act like friends."
A faint smile formed on Kaiba's face as he handed the flour sack back to Tea. Then he walked into the kitchen and looked around. He slowly sighed as Kaiba placed his hand on his brow.
"What's wrong?" Tea asked as she walked into the kitchen.
"Nothing."
"Come on, Kaiba. You know there's something wrong."
Mokuba came up behind Tea and yelled, "Big brother's down because he can't cook anything and there's nothing that he can just heat up for me. The microwave seems to be the only thing he knows how to use."
Tea giggled and said, "Oh is that all. I can fix dinner since I'm staying here for a while."
"Yeah I won't have to eat something that big brother just heated up!"
"Shut up, Mokuba! Are you sure, Tea?"
For a moment, Tea stood there in shock. Kaiba had just called her Tea instead of Gardner. Finally words came to her.
"Why not, after all I am your wife."
Kaiba turned red as Tea passed by him into the kitchen. She quickly found her way around the kitchen while Kaiba and Mokuba sat down on the couch. Then an idea came to her. Maybe if she made something really good then Kaiba would appreciate her.
There was a weird feeling inside of her that longed for Kaiba to enjoy her company. Tea walked around the kitchen gathering ingredients and soon came out to where the two boys were.
"How's dinner going?" Kaiba asked as Tea sat down beside him.
"It should be finished in thirty minutes."
"What are we having?" Mokuba asked with excitement.
"It's a surprise."
Kaiba laughed and messed up Mokuba's hair.
"Serves you right you little pest."
"Hey! I'm not a pest! Let's watch cartoons!"
Right then Mokuba grabbed the remote and turned on the TV.
"You know that you're not allowed to watch TV until after you eat dinner so shut it off." Kaiba said putting his arm around the top of the couch not remembering that Tea was right there. Her face turned red as Kaiba's fingers brushed against the back of her neck.
"I'm going to go check on dinner."
A moment later Kaiba heard Tea yelling, "Mokuba, Kaiba dinner's ready!" Kaiba stood up and walked into the dining room. The table was set with a dark blue table cloth and three plates were on it along with the silverware. He watched Mokuba sit down then sat down himself. Mokuba was at his left and Kaiba knew that Tea would be at his right.
After a couple of seconds, Tea came in holding a pan. She placed it on the center of the table and took the lid off.
"Yeah chicken!" yelled Mokuba.
"Smells good, Tea."
"Thank you."
She sat down on the right of Kaiba and helped Mokuba get some chicken then got some herself. Kaiba got himself a little bit as well and began eating.
"How is it Mokuba? Do you like it?"
"It's delicious!"
"How about you, Seto?"
Tea realized her mistake, but calmed down when Kaiba just calmly answered, "Its good."
Not another word came from her mouth until the meal was finished.
"Well Mokuba if your brother will let you then you may go watch TV and I'll clean up."
Kaiba nodded and said, "You may go watch TV and I'll help you."
"Okay."
Once Mokuba had left, Kaiba picked up a plate and asked, "Why did you call me Seto? No one had called me that in so long."
Tea blushed as she rapidly picked up the other two plates and took the third from Kaiba. She tried to escape, but Kaiba stopped her.
"I don't know why I did that. I'm sorry it offended you so much."
"No it's not that it's just…..no one has called me that in a really long time and it was a little bit of a shock for me. I guess I'll have to get used to it since now…..we're…friends."
"Also don't forget that we're "married" now." Tea added with a giggle.
Kaiba laughed in return and began picking up the silverware. Soon they were done and walked into the living room to see what Mokuba was watching.
"I'm tired. What room did you want me to take, Seto?"
"Huh? Oh I don't care. Just pick one."
"Really, cool!"
Tea walked up the stairs and opened doors trying to choose a room. Finally she found one that she liked. It had a dark blue blanket on the bed and dark blue curtains over a large window. The carpet was also dark blue.
The room had a sense of warmth in it. Then something dawned on her, she didn't have any clothes with her! Tea ran downstairs to where Kaiba and Mokuba where still watching TV and said, "Seto, all of my clothes are at my house!"
"That's okay, we'll get a locksmith to go there tomorrow and you can get you things."
"Then I would be able to stay at my own house."
"Yeah, but it wouldn't be safe for you to stay at your house alone for a week so you can gather your things and bring them here."
"Thank you, but what will I do about tonight?"
"If you look in the drawer on the first room to the right, you might find something you can wear. That's an extra room that I just keep things in."
"Okay, thanks." Tea said as she ran back upstairs.
When Tea found the room, she began looking through the drawer and found some dark blue silk pants and a matching shirt. These must have been his mothers Tea thought, but she soon found out when she tried them on that they couldn't possibly be a woman's.
She walked out of the room and saw Mokuba coming to find her. He looked at her up and down then asked, "Why are you wearing big brother's extra pajamas?"
"His what!"
"His pajamas. Those are big brothers other set of pajamas that he takes with him on business trips."
"Oh."
"Well bye, Tea."
"Bye" she said as she watched Mokuba skip back down the hall and down the stairs. Then she returned to the dark blue room that she had chosen and got into the bed. Soon Tea was in a deep sleep.
Kaiba walked down the hall towards his room and when he opened the door, he saw a small lump in his bad. Probably just Mokuba trying to sleep in my bed because he got scared, Kaiba though. But when he got closer Kaiba realized that it wasn't Mokuba, but Tea that was sleeping in his bed.
Kaiba shook his head and carefully took Tea in his arms. When he walked out of the room, Kaiba saw Mokuba coming towards his room.
"Why was Tea in your bed and why are you carrying her?"
"Why are you coming to my room?"
"I was scared. Now answer my question."
"I thought it was you and she must have just chosen this room not knowing it was mine."
"Right." Mokuba said with a smirk on his face.
"Shut up!" Kaiba hissed as he walked past Mokuba and into another room across the hall. He hoped she wouldn't mind having been moved in the middle of the night.
That morning when Tea woke up, she realized that she wasn't in the room she had fallen asleep in, but in a different room completely. Tea got dressed in her school uniform and walked down the stairs. Kaiba and Mokuba were already at the table eating cereal.
"Good morning!"
Kaiba looked up at the brunette and then looked back down at the paper that was lying on the table next to his bowl.
"Good morning, I hope you don't mind that you had to change rooms. I found you asleep in my room." he said halfheartedly.
"Oh I'm sorry. Are you two almost ready to go to school?"
"Yeah, but aren't you going to eat something?"
"No, I never eat breakfast."
"Okay suit yourself. Hurry up Mokuba."
Mokuba gave Kaiba a dirty look then left the table to get his backpack. When Mokuba returned, Kaiba and Tea had already cleared the table and were ready with their backpacks.
"Come on squirt." Kaiba said as he gently pushed Mokuba out the door. Tea smiled as she was the last one out of the house. All three of them stepped into the limo as Kaiba told them where to go. As the limo started driving away Kaiba yelled, "Tea, did you get the flour sack!"
"Yes you forgot it in the living room last night and I picked it up this morning. It was crying, what did you do to it?" Tea asked giggling.
Kaiba turned red as he answered her. "Nothing I just sorta got a little upset at it that's all."
"Big Brother told the sack to shut up or he would throw it out of the window!" Mokuba chimed in as he smirked at his older brother.
"Shut up! That damn thing was getting on my nerves that's all!"
Tea laughed as the two brothers argued about what the elder Kaiba did. Soon they had reached Mokuba's school. Jumping out of the limo, he yelled, "Bye big brother, bye Tea! I'll see you tonight!"
Kaiba smiled at his younger brother then told the driver to go to his and Tea's school.
"After school we'll stop by your house and get a locksmith to open it, okay." Tea turned to see that Kaiba was staring at her. Quickly finding something else to focus on, Tea looked down at the floor and nodded. Kaiba looked out the window and let Tea continue to look at the floor. "How do you feel about the plan?" he asked her while still looking out the window.
"That sounds good. Thank you."
The black limo pulled up to the curb of the school and Kaiba once again looked at Tea and could see that she was disturbed about something. Tea was looking out the window at something or someone.
"What's wrong?"
No answer.
"Tea, what's wrong?"
Tea blankly stared out the window as Kaiba placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Tea, what's wrong?"
"My friends are out there. If they see me come out of your limo then they will start asking me questions. Is there any way you can drop me off in the back?"
Nodding Kaiba said, "Sure." Then he told the driver to go to the back to let Ms. Gardner out. The driver did as he was told and drove to the back of the school where Tea got out followed by Kaiba.
"I'll wait a little while before I come in, okay."
Tea smiled at the chocolate haired boy and said, "Sure thanks. Oh and I'll see you in health class. See ya later, darling!"
What the hell was that for! Kaiba thought as he started walking. Tea had already gone in and now it was his turn. When he walked in the school, Kaiba saw a spiky haired short boy talking to Tea.
"I tried to call you last night, but your phone just kept ringing and you never answered. Is everything alrigh?" the boy said.
"I'm sorry, Yugi. It's just my parents aren't home and so I'm staying with…Se- a friend for a week."
"Oh, well okay!" Yugi walked down the hall leaving Tea alone. The brown haired girl turned around a saw Kaiba.
"Hi Seto, you finally came in."
"Yeah. That was a pretty big slip up right then. You have got to be careful. And what the hell was the darling comment about?"
"That's my little secret and I'm sorry. I'll try to be more careful. What are you doing, don't you care if people see us together?"
"It won't matter to them they'll probably just think it's because of the project. Here I'll take the baby to my first class since its algebra and I don't really have to concentrate in it. If you want I'll walk you to your first class."
"Okay come with me to my locker. Let's see my first class is science then I see you in gym now for second since they changed yours and Joey's gym periods after that last argument."
"I didn't do anything to the damn dog; he just started yelling at me! And today we have swimming."
"Damn, are you serious?"
Kaiba smiled and said, "Yeah, what you don't like swimming?"
"Hell no! Well anyway after second I can take the baby with me to social studies while you're in science then if do you go to your locker after third?"
"No why?"
"Well then you can meet me at my locker after third and take the baby with you to social studies while I'm in algebra. Then after that we can both take care of it because we have health and choir together. Deal?"
"Fine with me. Let's get going to your locker. I already have all of my stuff unlike some one who's name I won't say…ahem…Tea."
"Hey!" Tea yelled as she playfully hit Kaiba on his shoulder.
Tea agreed to go to her locker and they began walking down the hall towards it. The narrow hall was filled with students different and the same ages as Kaiba and Tea. Turning the corner, they soon reached the brown haired girl's locker. Kaiba leaned against the locker that was on the right of Tea's just as Joey had before. Looking up at him, Tea couldn't help but giggle.
"What?"
"Nothing it's just I've never seen you lean against anything before. Aren't you afraid someone will see you?"
"No, why would I be."
"Well…I mean….you're Seto Kaiba."
"No duh! Who did you think I was?"
"No that's not what I meant. I mean you're always upright and not anything like the other boys, that's all."
"Okay okay come on let's go." Kaiba stood upright and took Tea's books out of her hand. "Here, I'll carry your books now hurry up." Tea shook her head and stood up to close her locker. She followed Kaiba in silence until they reached her classroom. There she handed Kaiba the flour sack in exchange for her books.
"Goodbye, Seto. I'll see you in second."
"Bye."
Kaiba grabbed Tea's hand before she walked into the room and gently kissed the top of her hand.
"I'll see you in gym class."
And with that Kaiba walked off leaving Tea in a daze. A few minutes later Kaiba walked into the algebra classroom and sat down in his seat. Class went by slowly as the teacher droned on about something that Kaiba already knew about. Algebra had always been boring to Kaiba since he was so amazing at it, but today it was even more boring then usual.
Kaiba couldn't stop thinking about Tea or that she would be staying at the mansion for two weeks. The flour sack lay in a small bundle that Tea had made out of a couple of Kaiba's shirts next to his desk.
The bell rang after a while and Kaiba quickly walked out to meet Tea in PE. When he walked in the gym, the chocolate haired boy immediately saw Tea standing in her white shirt and shorts. He walked up to her and handed her the flour sack.
"Would you mind placing it over there next to my backpack?"
"Okay." Kaiba took the sack to where Tea had asked him to and then went into the boy's locker room to get changed. After about three minutes, he came out in a white shirt and loose black shorts. A woman with her blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail walked over to the front of the gym and yelled, "Okay everyone today we are going to swim! Girls get your hair pulled back and boys, shirts off!"
Every girl began to pull her hair back into a ponytail except for the girls with short hair. The boys started taking off their shirts. Kaiba took his off then walked over to talk to Tea. She was already stretching when he walked over to him.
"Hey!"
Tea looked up and was in shock.
"Uh….hey…."
"What? Were expecting me to be wimpy and scrawny?"
Slowly shaking her head up and down Tea stopped stretching and stood up right in front of Kaiba.
"I….it's just…..you're so……..so…so…."
"So what?"
"So hot."
"Excuse me?"
"Nothing, I'm sorry. Look I have to go over there."
"Okay suit yourself."
Kaiba began stretching just as Tea had done while Tea tried to get as far away as she could. You're so hot! What were you thinking telling him that! He's Seto Kaiba for heaven's sake! He hates your best friends! The only reason you're talking to him is because of that stupid project!
Not watching where she was going, Tea ran into a thick post. She yelled out in pain as she came falling down on her back. Many people crowded around her trying to help her, but it was Kaiba who reached her first.
"Tea! Tea! Are you okay?"
Tea could hear the people whispering around her. They all wanted to know why Seto Kaiba was coming to comfort her instead of standing on the sides as usual. And why was he calling her by her first name. Kaiba placed his hand in Tea's to try to help her up, but Tea pulled her hand away.
"Just leave me alone!"
Crying, Tea ran out the door. Around Kaiba, people yelled for her to come back, but she didn't. However, Kaiba didn't hear any of this.
He was dumbstruck as she stood there after what Tea had said. Then when he could bare it no longer, Kaiba ran out the door after Tea and into a small hallway.
When he walked out of the door of this hallway, Kaiba found himself in the main hallway where a brown hair girl sitting on a blue bench, crying.
I hope you liked this chapter and I bet Seto looks so hot when he's caring. I think Tea and Seto make a great pairing and I would like to know what you say about it and this story so please review!
