I had so much fun writing this and I hope you have just as much reading it! :D

Angry

Atem stared at Seto "You did what?"

"Didn't you listen?"

"Of course I did but…" Atem began, but stopped and laughed a little instead. "No, it's okay. This is just who you are…"

Seto frowned. "You have a problem with it?"

"No. I… just think you could have said it differently."

"I'm not you. And how will they learn if no one tells them?"

"They'll learn by making their own mistakes."

"The world is cruel. The sooner they learn the better."

"That may be true." Atem shook his head. "But you can't walk around and tell little children that they're a third rate duelist with a forth rate deck! You'll traumatize them!" Now that he said it with his own mouth, Atem had to admit that it was rather funny indeed but he still felt some pity for the poor girl who had been bold enough to challenge Seto Kaiba to a duel.

"Tch. They should be proud that Seto Kaiba even spoke to them."

"Right…" Atem chuckled darkly, but Seto's glare only became more intense and he sighed heavily. "Why are you angry at me now anyway? I just voiced my opinion, that's all."

"Maybe I didn't want your opinion."

"Okay…" Now it was Atem's turn to frown. "Then why did you tell me?"

"Oh, I'm asking myself that already. Don't worry.

Slowly but surely Atem could feel himself getting angry as well. "Seto, what is your problem? I just said what I thought and you can't blame me for that."

There was a pause in which Seto seemed to think about something and then he turned to him again. "What did you mean by that's just who I am?"

"Well that it was typical for you to say something like that. Even if you say it to a little girl."

"It was the truth."

Atem nodded gently. "Probably. It was just a little…" Atem searched for the right word but he knew that anything he said now would only increase Seto's anger, so it didn't really matter when he said. "Insensitive."

As expected, Seto all but exploded. "I won't apologize for who I am!"

"You shouldn't! And I'm just saying…" Atem took a deep breath in hope to calm down a little but it didn't really work, so he decided to try another approach. "I'm just saying that this is exactly who you are. You… have a prideful, infuriating, irrepressible attitude. And you're smug and stubborn and arrogant but..."

"But what?" Seto snapped at him, anger flaring in his voice and eyes. "But that's bad and I have to change? Or you're going to change me?"

"No!" Atem screamed at him. "I like you for who you are, you idiot."

At that Seto only snorted and turned slightly away from him. "You'd be the first one."

"And would that be so bad?" When Seto didn't answer, Atem took small a step closer to him, hand outstretched as if to touch him, but not yet close enough to do so. "You are all the things I just said, but you didn't let me finish my sentence." Atem let out the breath he was holding, closed his eyes for a second and then looked Seto directly in the eyes. "All of the things I listed… they were what drew me in the first place. I kinda find it endearing, attractive even – please don't ask me why." He chuckled and shook his head a little, but never broke the contact between blue and violet orbs. "But everytime I look at you… I see something fascinating, something I want to know more about… and I can't look the other way."

Seto's eyes got so wide the blue color almost vanished completely and his mouth hung slightly open in astonishment but he got himself under control again almost immediately and gazed down at Atem with this typical intense glare of his.

They stood like that for a while, neither of them breaking eye contact, neither of them saying a word, until Seto clicked his tongue, grabbed Atem's still outstretched hand and nodded his head into the direction of his room.

"Want to go to my room and make out…?" He bit his lip and corrected. "Make up. Go to my room and make up."

Atem bit down the grin that threatened to spread on his face. He got a feeling that that had been Seto's intention from the start when he started this argument, but he didn't say anything and just put his scowl back in place. "There's nothing I'd rather do."
