"Seto!" Mokuba shoved open the door to his older brother's home office as he shouted, making his brother take off his noise-cancelling headphones in order to hear his brother better.
"What's wrong?"
"Can't you make him stop?" Mokuba sounded desperate as he pleaded with his brother. "He's been singing that song for three whole days now! Why? Why does he keep repeating it?"
"Seth has recently been awakened to the 'wonders of the coconut,'" Kaiba answered with a deadpan voice that betrayed how annoyed he was about it. "As such, he has been enraptured by its many virtues to such a degree that he feels the need to serenade it nonstop."
"That explains why he ordered so many of them," Mokuba grumbled, crossing his arms with a resentful look. This was news to Kaiba.
"He did what?" Kaiba raised an eyebrow at his little brother.
"He ordered a whole crate of coconuts!"
"How did he manage to do that?"
"He probably told the kitchen staff to do it. Either that, or he took your credit card out of your wallet."
Kaiba sighed and stood up, intent on getting to the bottom of this. "Do you know where he is now?"
"Downstairs with his coconuts." Mokuba started to lead his brother to Seth's location, muttering to himself, "If I have to hear him sing 'Put The Lime in The Coconut' one more time, I'm going to scream."
They found Seth in the hallway on their way to the kitchen, and it was more surprising than not that he had no coconuts on his person at the moment. Ever since they'd gotten back from their vacation, he'd been quite obsessed.
"Seth, have you been ordering things online?" Kaiba asked crossly. "Without my permission?"
"I was going to surprise you." Seth looked disappointed now. "Mokuba, did you tell him?"
"I didn't know it was a secret," the child answered, not looking particularly remorseful.
"How many coconuts did you order?"
"Just a couple hundred."
"How on earth did you think we were going to eat all of those before they went bad?" Kaiba asked in total exasperation.
"We'd throw a party!" Seth exclaimed. "And do you know how we'd serve the coconuts?" His lips curled into a sly smile.
"Oh no..." Mokuba's eyes widened in horror.
"How would we—"
"No!" Mokuba slapped his hands over his ears.
"We'd put the lime in the coconut and drink 'em both up," Seth started to sing, catching hold of Seto's hand and trying to make him dance with him. "We'd put the lime in the coconut and drink 'em both up—"
"You've been drinking, haven't you?" Seto commented with a chuckle as he kept his feet firm to the ground, refusing to dance with him—not while his brother was standing right there and anybody could walk in and see them. Mokuba, though, had begun to growl and stomp away from them both. He entered his own bedroom, slammed the door shut, and started playing loud pop music as he screamed into a pillow.
"Maybe." Seth pulled Seto against him and tried to kiss him, but Kaiba was still wary of being seen. Seth chuckled, in too good a mood to be annoyed by his lover's reluctance. "I love how shy you are, Seto," Seth whispered into his ear. "I don't like the idea of anyone else seeing you vulnerable."
"You've been drinking rum," Kaiba observed.
"Do you have a problem with that?"
"Only if you plan on being stingy," Seto said with a smirk.
"Great." Seth grinned rogueishly. "I'll get a coconut."
An hour later, Seto and Seth were sharing a coconut cocktail in their bathtub, drinking from half-shells as they had on the island.
"Yo ho ho, and a bottle of rum. A pirate's life for me," Seth sang, slinging an arm around Seto's shoulders. He smacked a noisy kiss on his hikari's cheek.
"Only a matter of time before you took it into your head to be a pirate," Seto laughed, nudging his head against Seth's with a smile. "I suppose the cowboy phase will be after the pirate phase…"
"Didn't you have work to do?" Seth asked suddenly, as if just remembering that his lover ran a multibillion dollar global corporation.
"It's just work." Seto shrugged and wriggled closer to the Egyptian, finding comfort in the crook of his arm and the warmth of his skin. "It can wait."
