(SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE Thanks for all the reviews, I appreciate them so much!)
Chapter 8-Superman?
There was a blur of colors all around Seto. He groaned softly. He gingerly opened his cerulean blue eyes. Next to him, his heart monitor beeped steadily. As he tried to push himself up, Dr. Reynolds walked in.
"What the hell are you doing Kaiba? Lay back down."
Seto grimaced but did so. The pain was almost unbearable.
"What happened to me, Reynolds?"
And as if commenting on the weather, the doctor replied, "You had a crushed spine. You were about to be crippled for life. We did an operation on you for about two hours, you should be really sore-"
"No shit, Sherlock."
Ryan replied with a wry smile. "Let me finish. You should be sore, but you should be alright if you rest for about two weeks." His smile turned into a frown. "And that means not working. At all."
Seto seemed furious by this. "I took a day off and this is what happened! TWO WEEKS WITHOUT WORK?!"
"Those are my orders Mr. Kaiba. And if you'll excuse me, you have a guest." Dr. Reynolds walked over and even before he barely opened the door, Mokuba pushed and scrambled in. Dr. Reynolds left the two brothers.
"SETO!"
"Not so loud, Mokuba"
Mokuba's dark brown eyes looked mournful. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry…I can't…I..you….-" The youngster trailed off in despair.
Seto frowned. "I told you Mokuba, this isn't your fault. Don't think it is. I'm alright, aren't I?"
Mokuba's eyes brightened. "Really? You're okay?!"
Seto smirked, "Well, certainly. I AM superman."
Mokuba laughed and cautiously hugged Seto.
"But you know, Mokuba, I AM rather upset with you for one thing…"
Mokuba winced and slowly backed away.
"Because of you, I can't go to work for 2 very long weeks. The company will topple!"
Mokuba's mouth was twitching with a smile. He couldn't stand it and broke out laughing. He climbed into bed with Seto, and the brunette wrapped his arm around him. They stayed like that for a moment, and as both of them were drifting off to sleep, Mokuba whispered, "That's okay. As long as you're with me." With closed eyes, Seto Kaiba, smiled.
