I had absolutely no idea what to do with this one and this sure is somewhat far-fetched but I hope people still like it^^'


Victorian

"Hey Seto."

"Hm."

"What are you doing?"

"Working."

„Ah."

"..."

"And what are you working on?"

"The improvement of the Duel Link system."

"Ah."

"…"

"Isn't it perfect?"

"I wouldn't be working on it if it was."

"Ah…"

"…"

"But it sure is a great invention."

"Of course it is. I invented it."

"Ah."

"…"

"Hey Seto."

"Hm."

"When are you done?"

"When it's perfect."

"And when will that be?"

"It'll go faster when you let me work in peace."

"Ah."

"…"

"Hey Seto."

"What?"

"I'm bored."

Seto breathed out heavily and looked up from his computer for the first time since this conversation had started. "Then why are you even here?"

"I wanted to keep you company."

"And my company bores you?"

"Well you aren't exactly companionable right now."

"That's because I'm working."

"Hm."

"Is your book so boring that you're pestering me instead?"

"I finished it already."

"Then get a new one."

"I don't want to."

"Fine."

"Is that all you have to say to this?"

"I won't look for something to do for you. Look for yourself."

"Tch. You'll end up like the man in the book if you continue like this."

"Are you comparing me to Ebenezer Scrooge?"

"You can't deny the similarities."

"Huh. And what would that make you?"

"I'm the ghosts of course."

"All of them?"

"A little bit of all of them. I mean, I showed you your past so that you accept and appreciate it, made you look at your present decisions and how they'll shape your future if you continue your life without changing something."

"So you changed me?"

"No… and I wouldn't say you actually changed. It's just that you're… more at ease with yourself and your decisions. At least I think so."

"You think so?"

"Yes. And I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be here now if it weren't the truth."

"… Probably not…"

Atem smiled fondly. "See?"

"Although I'm starting to regret that a little since you keep me from working."

Tch. Fine. I'll take ma leave."

"Good."

"I think I'll do some shopping."

"Do what you have to do."

"I'll go buy you some Victorian style suit."

Again Seto sighed and looked up from his computer. "Okay why?"

"Because the book's from 1843, the Victorian Age and I would love to see you in a suit like that. It'd be quite sexy, don't you think?"

"…"

"And maybe a nice corset for myself."

"A… corset?"

"Or a corsage."

"… Okay."

"I'm sure I'll find something that fits to your suit."

"Hey Atem."

"Hm."

"I should be done in at least three hours. "

"I'll be waiting for you then."
