Ali stared at him, unable to comprehend what she was saying, or what was happening, she opened her mouth to say something, just to have a tear stream down her cheek, she wiped it away and moved a little closer to Seto, still having a huge gap between them, "it didn't mean anything" she replied softly.
"Oh really? You're going to have to convince me a whole lot for me to believe that" Seto stated bluntly.
Ali bit her lower lip, to afraid to look at Seto, her gaze shifted to the floor, "I stood up for you" She replied with a small smile.
She looked up to see him glaring at her, "Well that's nice. I guess now that I know that you stood up for, I can forgive you" Seto said in a sarcastic tone rolling his eyes.
"I don't want you to be mad at me Seto" Ali explained, moving so she was about 2feet away from him.
"Yeah I gathered that" Seto replied coldly. Moving his gaze from her face to stare at the wall beside them.
"What do I have to do to get you to forgive me?" She asked in a louder tone than before.
Seto rested his hand on his chin and began to ponder.
Ali slid to the floor pushing her hands on the floor, "I mean!" She looked up with him with tears in her eyes, "If I didn't regret it, then why did I come here and tell you!" She cried out, She shook her head, staring at the floor with anger, "I will do anything" She replied softer letting tears fall onto her lap, "Anything" She added with a whisper.
"How do I know that you won't do it again? I mean he does live next door to you" Seto stated. Looking at his girlfriend on the floor with tears in her eyes.
Ali thought for a moment, thinking of how she can prove she'll never do anything like that again, after a minute, her head shot up looking at him in the eye, she then answered "I'll move"
"All right but there's only one place that I'll deem acceptable," Seto explained. Looking down at her pathetic form.
"Where?" She asked, wiping away the dry tears from her eyes.
"Here" He replied.
Aliana looked at her boyfriend shocked, wondering if what she just heard was a dream or not, "Here?" She asked, in an unbelieving tone.
"Yes. Space is not an issue, nor is rent. This would be cheaper than living in your own apartment" Seto explained, smiling at Ali as she stood up."You mean. I would live here, with you?" Ali asked, stumbling over to the couch.
"Why? Do you see something wrong with that?" Seto asked.
"I- I wouldn't want to intrude" She said, sitting next to him, with a gap in-between them.
"You can't really intrude when the house is a mansion and there are only three people living in it" Seto said, turning his head to look at Ali's shocked appearance.
She turned her head to look at him; she replied, "I have a cat"
"As long as your cat doesn't crap around the house and stays out of my room then that's fine," Seto said, not understanding her sudden distantness.
"I want to" She replied, "But don't couples move in together when they both love each other" she stopped for a moment, "and been together for a while"
"Have you been reading some sort of love book or something or do you just get this stuff from T.V?" Seto asked, curious.
She grinned at him, " a bit of both"
Seto sighed before replying, "Why doesn't it surprise me"
"Because I'm Aliana, and you know me to well," She replied with a smile.
" That is true. Actually it's so true that it's rather sickening" Seto answered.
"What? That you know me too well, or that you know me so well yet you still don't love m-" She tensed her body and looked down, not wanting to finish her sentence.
Seto stared at her. "The first one", he replied a little coldly.
"Maybe I shouldn't- I mean, move in" Ali answered, looking up but keeping her gaze away from Seto's, "We don't always get along"
"You make it sound as though you're the only person on earth who doesn't get along with me," Seto said, looking at her distant form.
She turned her head, a determined yet worried expression lay on her face, "But I'm the only one who shouldn't" She stated, looking down at her lap.
"Then you have the worse idea of how people should react to each other," Seto explained, having a slight smile plastered on his face.
"But we always seem to be fighting, we can't have one conversation without one of us trying to rip the other one apart" Ali explained, looking up at Seto with her sky blue eyes.
"Fine, what ever. If you think we're not mature enough to live together then fine, don't move in. But don't expect anything from me anymore" Seto said coldly.
Ali stared down at his chest, shocked at what he had just said, out of no where, tears begged to come out from her eyes, she shook them away and looked up at Seto, "You're joking? Right?" Ali asked. A slight smile on her expression.
"No, I'm not" Seto said casually,
"So? You're either giving me the option of moving in, or never having anything to do with you right?" Ali hiccupped through her sentence. "Better think hard," Seto stated.
Ali shook her head, "No, you got it all wrong. I don't even have to think about it. It's obvious the choice I'm going to choose. Either be happy, or sad. And I will always choose to be happy. And because I'd be miserable without you. I have to choose move in" Ali explained, looking at Seto with a weak smile.
"I knew you'd make the right decision," Seto said with a slight smile, patting Ali on the head.
"Whether or not it's the right decision. It's the decision I want to take" Ali said placing her hand on his.
Ali wasn't sure but she thought that at that moment, Seto's eye twitched
a moment later Ali pulled her hand away, "I mean. It's the right decision." Ali said as she looked away from him, her face flushed for some unknown reason.
"So how does tomorrow sound?" Seto said breaking the awkward silence.
Ali looked at him, her face still flushed but she now had confusion and shock mixed in her expression, "Tomorrow?" Something in Ali's mind was telling her to joke with him, "Eager to get me in your house. Maybe even more in your room?" Ali grinned at Seto, as he turned his gaze to her.
"My room? If you haven't noticed, I've been trying to do that for a long time now" Seto said leaning closer to Ali with a smirk.
"What?" Ali got shocked and immediately fell back off the couch. A look of pain caused through Aliana's face.
"I'm going to have a lot of fun while your living here and I don't just mean in a sexual way either" Seto chuckled.Ali sat up rubbing the back of her head, "Ow" She whined. She looked up at Seto, "What's that mean?"
"Let's just say that I enjoy freaking you out" Seto smirked at her.
"You may enjoy it. But at the end of that day, I'm the one with the bruises" Ali pouted, crossing her legs, sitting in front of Seto.
"That won't give you a bruise," Seto stated, leaning forward.
"It still could use a kiss," She said with a small pout.
"I can deal with that"
Days Later.
Aliana just finished making her bed in her new room, just across the hall from Seto's. She placed her pink elephant on the bed and sighed in relief.
"4hours, but I finally did it," She said running her fingers through her hair which was in a high ponytail, she had washed out overalls on with a pink top underneath.
Seto had insisted that she have help with her room, but she had agreed that she could do it by herself. Aliana had special places for everything.
Sighing she opened her door and walked across the hall, smiling to herself she opened the door to Seto's room, revealing him writing in his note pad.
"Hey down boy, I thought you said you wouldn't be working today," Ali said, walking over to his desk, "You need a rest, I'm telling you, if you keep working non-stop, you'll get a huge headache" she explained, letting down her ponytail.
"I get a headache no matter what I do" Seto replied, still with his head in the notepad.
"That's because you don't drink enough water," Ali explained, with a little sarcasm in her voice.
"I drink plenty of liquids thank you very much" Seto answered.
Fed up, Aliana grabbed the notebook from Seto and held it under your arm, "No more work" She said in a stern voice.
"If I remember correctly that I didn't actually say that it was work" Seto replied, smirking at Ali.
She opened the book, holding it with one hand, not even looking at the pages; she flaps it around, "What is it then?" She asked.
"A poem" Seto said.
Ali stood in awe, dropping the book, "No way!" She gasped as she stared at Seto, "I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WROTE POETRY." She screamed in delight."Actually I don't, I just wanted to see your reaction" he gave a small grin of pleasure as he told her.
Ali glared at Seto with a sour look, "That wasn't even nice. I was excited" She replied grimly.
"I knew you would be, and that's why I did it" Seto smirked.
"Well" Ali crouched down and picked up the notebook, "If I just 'Accidentally' run away with this and hide it somewhere, I might just lie about where it is" She stuck her tongue out at him.
"Well sure, you can do that. But then I'll forget all the idea's I had for your Christmas present" Seto explained, crossing his arms.
"Serious! Where?" She opened the book like a greedy child on Christmas and ripped through the pages.
"It's a pity that I wrote it in programming codes. I guess you won't be able to read what you're getting" Seto chuckled.
"Oh, you're mean" Ali glared at him, trying not to let the smile that wanted to come through show, Then suddenly a thought struck past Ali and she yelled, "YOU WERE DOING WORK!!"
"Wow, nothing gets passed you Ali" Seto shook his head, smiling.
"Oh, you nearly got me, but I'm just to smart" Ali boasted, placing her hands on her hips, and her chin up high in the air.Seto stood up from his chair and wrapped his arms around Ali; "I guess you are"
"Are we proud?" Ali asked, rubbing her head against his chest.
"Not yet, try convincing me some more" Seto said, smirking down at her.
She smirked and got in her tippy toes, she whispered, "I've stolen all your pillows from your bed and put them on mine and you still haven't noticed"
"Well now I know, "Seto answered, shaking his head once more.
Ali's face went blank, until she frowned, "Damn, I was convincing you I was smart and I told you something I was trying to hide" Ali said in a disappointed tone."Yeah and it wasn't even what I was thinking of" Seto explained.
Ali looked at him and gasped, "then what were you thinking of?"
"Wouldn't you want to know" Seto said, smirking at his girlfriend.
"That is why I asked," Ali said, poking her tongue out at him, her neck cramping from looking up so high.
"You can be such a dope, you know that" Seto replied, messing up her hair.
"Only when I'm with you," Ali answered, smiling.
"Then your some sort of genius without me then?" Seto asked, leaning down to be inches away from his girlfriends face.
"Totally, I sometimes surprise myself" Ali laughed,
"But of course I'll never be able to see your amazing talent because you're stupid around me. Is that so you don't embarrass me?" Seto asked, intrigued by the conversation
"Of course, I mean. What would people think if they found out a mere girl was smarter than the notorious Seto Kaiba" Ali explained, nodding every few seconds.
"That you were faking it" Seto answered.
"Faking, no sir. I think you have it mistaken, there is no faking in the art of brains," Ali said in an intelligent voice.
"Well if your not faking it then why did your last sentence sound weird?" Seto asked, giving her a weird look.
"I made it sound like that, duh," Ali snorted.
"Smart people use smart sentences Ali, that wasn't smart" Seto explained, rubbing his temples at her, Aliana backed away and poked her tongue at him.
"Says you" Ali said, crossing her arms.
"Yes, I say so and I can say so because I'm smart" Seto replied.
"You're so mean, I'm not talking to you anymore" Ali said, turning her back on Seto.
"Ok, that means I can get back to work then" Seto explained, Ali gained a sweat drop and turned around sniffing as if she were crying.
"You'd rather do work then hang out with your own girlfriend. Waaa!" Ali put her head in her hands and pretended to cry.
