Sweetshipping (Mokuba x Ryo)
(it's back to school for me...I'll probably be more late than ever posting these)
They met because both of them made a mistake. And it had absolutely nothing to do with them ending up in jail.
Mokuba Kaiba had accidentally taken a wrong turn in Otogi's game shop and walked into the Monster World section. Ryo Bakura had accidentally bought a set of monster figures that he already owned and had returned them, and was now in the Monster World section trying to find the new set he had been looking for in the first place.
"Oh, hello," Ryo said. "Aren't you Kaiba's little brother? Mokuba, right?"
"Don't you hang around with Yugi?" Mokuba asked at the same time.
They stared at each other for a moment, neither really wanting to speak because then the other one might speak and they might be talking over each other again. It was Ryo that finally broke the silence.
"Yes, I do hang out with Yugi sometimes," Ryo said. "I'm surprised you remember me. I'm Ryo Bakura, in case you had forgotten."
Mokuba blushed slightly, because he had forgotten. Seto didn't bother remembering the names of people he didn't duel, and usually just referred to him as "that white haired kid with the Millennium Item." He wasn't wearing that Millennium Item today, however, and Mokuba wasn't sure if he should ask why.
"So what brings you here?" Ryo asked. "Do you play Monster World?"
"No," Mokuba said. "I, uh, was looking for the Capsule Monsters."
Ryo smiled slightly.
"Those are on the other side of the store. Did you get lost?"
"No, I didn't!" Mokuba said heatedly, but that didn't stop his blush. "I never get lost!"
Ryo just half smiled, which made Mokuba angry, so he turned around and stormed out of the aisle like his brother did.
But at the end of the aisle, he ducked around the side and peeked around the corner. What was Monster World anyway? The figures he saw hanging on the shelves were pretty cool. There was a pretty awesome dragon looming over Ryo. Ryo reached up and took down the dragon, turning it over in his hands to find the price. He put it back almost immediately, and instead picked up a bag of goblin figures.
Before Mokuba knew it, he was sneaking back into the aisle and watching Ryo look at all of the monster sets. Harpies, slimes, lizard-people, demon birds...they were a lot like Capsule Monsters.
Ryo looked up, and Mokuba blushed as he realized that Ryo had known he was there the whole time.
"So, uh," Mokuba started. "How do you play this Monster World thing anyway?"
A/N: short and kind of crappy. I had no ideas for a scene between these two. It worked out rather well, though. They seem to get along. Next is Supportshipping (Anzu x Honda)
