Kaiba walked up to his room and slowly walked back when he saw Mokuba's light was still on; he slowly opened the door to see Mokuba shutting down his computer.
"Hmm ease dropper?" Seto leaned on the doorframe knowing Mokuba was using his computer to spy on Ali and him.
Mokuba slowly looked down and looked back at Seto with a smile.
"I'm sorry Seto, but I couldn't stand it anymore, I couldn't stand seeing you alone any longer" Mokuba told Seto standing up, "I needed to see you happy, to see you smiling, to be having fun, and I knew you wouldn't go if I told you that you were meeting your blind date at the Sea Palace, and I also knew that you wouldn't of gone to see Ali if I didn't bring her to you. But you've got to admit Brother, that I did a good job" Mokuba puffed as he breathed in after saying that with about 2breathes
Seto glared at him but then looked away, it must have been Mokuba's imagination but he swore he saw his brother smiling.
Kaiba whispered something and walked and starting walking to his room.
Mokuba smiled knowing that Seto was thanking him. He was just happy making his brother smile. And Ali was everything we wanted, plus she was just as stubborn as him when she wants something. Plus, Ali was an oddball, and Seto was kind of one as well. Well he was one of the healthiest men in Domino City, and he didn't want to have friends or a girlfriend, he only had ideas for Kaiba Corp in the future, not him. And that made Mokuba mad. Why should a company come first before Seto? And why couldn't Seto have some free time, have someone special in his life. Like Aliana…
-----------------------------------.:X:.-----------------------------------
Aliana walked in the house and went to what looked like the lounge room, she plopped herself on the couch and fiddled with her hair, not only was she freaking out, she was still shocked.
She touched her lips with her hand and sighed dreamily.
'He, likes me' she thought.
She pulled on her dress and waited for him to come back, half of her was scared, and another half was nearly in tears to find out he feels the same way.
'He can't like me, I'm not perfect, I don't have a prefect body, or perfect boobs, or perfect speaking, I'm like the reject of the group. Why would he like me? If he ever met Libby or Shelby, he would forget I ever existed' She thought to herself, she shook her head to prevent the tears developing behind her eyes from coming out.
About 10minutes later, Kaiba walked in seeing Ali sucking on her hair leaning on the armrest of the couch. She looked over to him and quickly took the hair out of her mouth.
"Sorry, I kind of, made myself at home" She smiled
"I don't mind you sitting down, I want to know why you had such an odd look on your face" Seto told her.
" What look?" She asked quickly smiling at him
"It was, different, I can tell you that. It looked like you were worried or scared of something and it also looked like you were about to cry"
"Cry, I'm not crying" Ali wiped under her eyes to check and moved her gaze back to Seto
She flattened herself on the couch with her legs out in front of her, " I think, I'm just happy, but confused, I mean, who would like me?" She asked
"That's a dumb question" He rolled his eyes.
"You're like a millionaire while I work at a dating service. You have everything, while I struggle to get enough money for my rent. I'm not pretty, or skinny, and I'm shy. I'm a black sheep," She told him looking down, "And who likes black sheep?"
"Not sure bout the sheep part but I do like black" Ali knew he was trying to cheer her up.
"What about tonight, it was a all white party, and guess who comes dressed in black, the one, the only, black sheep" She sighed at herself.
"You might want to blame Mokuba for that, he's the one who didn't tell you it was an all white party" He glared knowing it was his brother who set him up twice.
"I feel like I don't belong here, I don't deserve you. I'm not- I'm just not, " she looked at the ground and shook her head lightly.
"If someone tells you that you don't deserve something then you should tell them to go jump off a cliff" His comment made Ali laugh.
She looked up and smiled at him, "Thank you"
Aliana looked down and fiddled wither a lose strand of her hair, " Mr. Seto. We're, friends right?" Ali asked him softly
"Are you still going on with that friend thing?" He asked her,
"Does it hurt you so much, that you don't want to be someone's friend?" She asked him
"Why on earth would it hurt me I just don't see the point in having them," He told Ali.
"It's just like liking someone, so, that would mean there's no point in liking someone" Ali told him standing up. "Do you lose something when you make a friend, maybe pride, your reputation Am I getting close"
"No and no" He said simply."Let's play a game, I'm gonna guess why you don't want friends, your last friend had an accident, no. You don't want to get into a serious relationship and lose your friend, NO. You moved away from your last friend and you can't bear to have another one, to obvious. You're an uncaring person that you wouldn't care less if you had a friend. BING BING BING. I think I found it"
"Well now that you think you've found it, you can stop questioning me," He said to Ali.
"But I haven't finished the game" Ali told him
"Do you want me to kick you out?" he asked her rudely
Ali looked away quickly and stayed quiet.
"That's what I thought," He said rudely.
"What now?" Ali asked, "What are you going to do now? Go for the sweet spot? Seduce me?" Ali asked not even daring to look into his cold blue eyes.
"You make it sound as though I want to rape you," He said looking at her.
Aliana brought her knees to her chest and placed her arms around her knees, she didn't look at him, or reply.
"I'm sorry" Aliana said breaking the awkward silence that swept the room for about 5minutes.
"I've just never had anyone who has liked me back, and it scares me a bit knowing it's you" Ali told him finally looking back at Kaiba.
"You way too timid" He told Aliana.
"Do you think I like being this way, I didn't even go to prom. Because I was scared to go with a man, I've been like this my whole life. But, but why you, why are you the person I'm faced with. I was way scared when I found out I was going on a date with you, and knowing it was a set up made it even worse, and tonight. But I overcame that, because in my heart, I always knew I liked you" Ali smiled weakly at him, "From the start" She added on.
'From the start, even though I cried, even though it didn't go so well, everything that has happened, everything that was said, I never stopped believing I would be here, right now. With you' Ali thought to herself.
"Well, seeing as though you seem to have just poured your heart out to me, I might as well admit something. After that first date you seem to have occupied my thoughts most of the time" He told her.
Her expression turned shock until she smiled and lunged at him, as she got close enough she pulled him into a hug and squealed. "I knew you would like me, I knew you would, seeing those warm eyes of yours. I just knew it," She was hugging his chest,
Realizing what she was doing, she quickly let go and bowed at him, "I'm so sorry, I am"
Kaiba turned his head away from her but Ali knew that he was smiling
She smiled and got on her tippy toes and held his hands, "I know" She smiled as she press her lips against his.
-----------------------------
Seto groaned hearing her question again after about the thousandth time.
"No" He said again.
"Why not?" Ali whined pouting at him, "Just say you're my friend and we'll be even" She told him.
"No" She growled.
"Why not?" She complained.
"Because then my fun will be over," He told her.
"Yes, but it will be more thrilling to be my friend, the only thing you have to do is say that I'm your friend" She smiled at him
It was about 8am and they had been awake for about an hour. And Aliana would not stop asking him if they were friends. She slept on the couch; actually, she fell asleep watching a movie with him.
"Come on" She nudged him, "Come on, you know you want to" She nudged him again.
"No I don't" He pushed her away.
"Aww, why not" She pouted at him
"Because I don't want you to be my friend," He told her.
"Then what do you want me to be?" She asked
"I thought it was pretty obvious" He rolled his eyes.
"You know, most relationships start with people being friends" She grinned at him
"I don't like that word and no they don't" Seto pointed out to Aliana.
"Yes they do" She replied.
"No, people can just start going out" Seto told her.
"Oh yeah, so you go out on the street and see someone who's hot, and without knowing them, you ask them out" Ali looked at Seto weirdly.
"Some people actually do that," Seto said to Ali.
She looks at him for a moment before grinning, "I'm not going to do anything with you until I become your friend"
Kaiba glared at her for a while, "Blackmailing little bitch"
"Well now I have to be your friend" She gave him a cheesy smile.
"Bitch" Seto snapped at her, She smiled at him.
Aliana grinned at Kaiba, "Fair is fair, I get something and you get something"
"Fine, what ever. I guess all's fair in love and war" He rolled his eyes.
"YAY!" She squealed and hugged him, "Ha, I'm friends with Mr. Seto"
"I knew I was going to regret this," He groaned
"Can't take it back now" She grinned, "Well actually you can, but I won't let you" She chirped.
"I take it back," He teased
"NNOOOO" Ali sniffed, "I'll cry, you won't like it when I cry" Ali sniffed again.
"Your such a whimp" He told her rolling her eyes.
"Well you're a meanie, taking a girl's friendship is a meanie thing to do" Ali said in a baby voice.
"You have plenty of friendship," He said to her."Not from you though" She sniffed
"Stop being a baby and get over it" He rolled his eyes.
"Make me" She hid behind the couch, "Ha, ha, can't get me here" She giggled to herself.
When she looked up, Kaiba had gone
"Ah, where'd you go" She looked around.
Something told her Seto was standing behind her, so instead of turning around, she jumped over the couch to get away but her feet hit the top of the couch and she fell onto the ground in front of the couch.
"Well that was well done" Ali heard from behind her.
"My face hurts "She sobbed out.
"Whose fault is that now?" the voice said again.
"Mine" She cried.
She sat up and rubbed her sore nose, " I need a hug" She sniffed.
"I may have said that I liked you but I still ain't lovey dovey. If you want that then you should go find another guy" Seto came into view
She sniffed and slowly stood up, " but but, there's no one else here, and I need one nnooowwww" she whined
"Also, if you want a guy who likes to listen to his girlfriend whine and will automatically do anything when she does, I suggest that you leave now" Seto told her.
Next thing Seto knew, there were tears in Ali's eyes, and she was sniffing uncontrollably,
"All I want is a hug," She sobbed out
"Geez, your not very good with the truth are you" Seto rolled his eyes.
"What, What do you mean?" She sniffed.
"I told you what I don't like and you start crying, this isn't turning out very well" Seto sighed.
"No, my- my nose hurts" She Whined to him.
"I know that and what do you want me to do about it, it was your own fault," He told her sternly.
"I-I know" She sniffed as she slowly slid to the ground, " I just want a hug to make me feel better" She sobbed
"How old are you?" He asked her.
"18"She said softly looking at him.
"Are you sure?" He asked.
"Just because I want a hug because I have a sore nose does not mean I'm a baby or that I'm 8or something, I just have a sore face and I want a hug" Ali sniffed wiping away the tears that had escaped her eyes.
"Oh so now you toughen up" Seto said raising an eyebrow at her.
"I wasn't going to sit here and let you call me childish" She looked away from him.
She shifted in her place and held her nose lightly.
"All I wanted was a hug," She whispered out still not looking at Kaiba.
"I'm not a very cuddly person," He told her.
She looked at him with tearful eyes, "It's just a hug," She pointed out sniffing
"Exactly" He said simply.
"Oh, so kissing me is a whole other subject, if you really like me, you would hug me. You know, boyfriends comfort their girlfriends when there sad or in pain" She told him with a big of force behind her voice.
"Stop acting like I'm the perfect person, we've only just established that we both seem to like each other and you already starting to go on like we've been together for ages" He told her holding his head and walking in a circle,
"I'm not acting as thought you're the perfect person, because I know your not, all I want is a hug, how hard is it to give a hug, it's not like I'm telling you to hold my hand in public, no one is going to see you hugging me" She rolled her eyes at him, "But no, don't worry about me" She stood up, "No one ever does, so I'll be fine, I don't need no hug, and definitely not from you" She hissed sitting on the couch and looked at the wall opposite of Seto.
"You have major mood swings, do you know that," He told her.
"Well, knowing I can't even get a hug from you is a pretty big let down" She said rudely, "It's not like anyone is going to see us," She mumbled out
Ali then felt herself being forced into a rough hug.
Her heart started pounding and her breath got heavy, he was hugging her, maybe not a sweet little hug, but he was.
'Oh my god, he's hugging me, this is so cute, so what if I've hugged other guys, he's different,' She thought as her heart went back to normal when he pulled away.
She smiled, "Thank you"
She didn't even notice her face was burning up and a faint pink line appeared across her cheeks.
Her smile soon became a grin.
"You hugged me!" She chirped.
"Only to shut you up," He snapped at her, she smiled at him.
"Well, it didn't work" She giggled
"Damn it" He growled.
She giggled, "Face it Mr. Seto, you loved that hug and you're trying to hide your happiness," She said to him with a happy voice, She put her knees up to her chest and giggled, "Admit it" She told him
'He hugged me, woo, he hugged me, and now he's happy, ohh, he's happy" Ali thought to herself smiling.
"Admit it Mr. Seto, you can't hide from the truth from me, you loved that hug," She chirped.
"No" He snapped. She looked at him for a moment before smiling.
"Your mouth says no, but your heart says yes" She squealed.
"You have no idea what my heart says," He said rolling his eyes.
"I can dream," She chirped.
"Stop acting like you know everything about me, you know nothing, so stop" He growled at Ali, who seemed a bit taken back from his response, she soon smiled.
