Seto Kaiba's twin II chapter 2
BEBD: I'm back yet again. Writing about 3 stories at the same time wasn't a good idea! Thanks to Prettycaty, who gave me the idea for what could happen in this sequel, but I'm still open to other ideas!
Yami: I kicked the other two out so I could do the disclaimer. Here goes, BEBD doesn't own Nicole Miller, TGI Fridays, HMV, Yugioh or any of it's characters. All she owns is part of the plot and the character, Alexander.

At 10am Alex had gotten up and endured about 10 minutes of his brothers' laughter. He was now outside Serenity's house, impatiently beeping his horn for her and her friends to come out.
"Come on!" he yelled. The girls finally emerged from the house. Serenity was wearing jeans and a tank top and Mai and Tea were wearing what ever the hell they wore at battle city.
"Finally." He muttered. Serenity slapped him.
"OWW! What the hell was that for?!"
"Not being patient." She said as she sat in the front of the Lamborghini. Mai and Tea were smirking in the back. Alex kept quiet the rest of the way, not wanting to get slapped again. When they got into Domino City centre, he found a parking space and parked. He thought of being a gentleman so Serenity wouldn't be in a mood with him all the time he was there, so he got out a opened her door for her. She smiled and kissed him on the cheek.
"Right, were to first?" Mai asked cheerfully.
"Shoes!" Tea said. Alex groaned as the girls dragged him over to a women's shoe store.
10 pairs of shoes later…
Alex stepped outside of the shoe store for the first time in an hour. He was carrying over 10 pairs of shoes and had a stiletto heel in his arse.
"I never want to see another pair of heels again." He said, exhausted. The girls laughed and Tea said,
"Come on, Alex, just one clothes shop and then we'll get something for lunch, okay." Alex was just about to say a witty comeback, but thought better of it,
"Fine." He grumbled. They entered a Nicole Miller shop.
"By the way, how can you pay for all of this?" Alex asked his girlfriend, jerking his head towards the bags and expensive clothes.
"With your credit card, Hun." Mai answered for her.
"My what?!" He tried not to lose his cool.
"You said I could use your credit cards." Serenity said, putting on the puppy dogface, so he wouldn't make a scene.
"And besides, Alex, we all know you make a mint at Kaiba Corp." Tea butted in. Alex took this into account and said,
"Well, as long as you don't spend to much…"
"Thank you Alex!" the girls said in unison. Serenity kissed him lightly on the lips. When she pulled away, he looked happier than he did before. He hadn't gotten a proper kiss from her in 2 whole days! He'd wondered how he had survived. The girls ran off into the store, leaving Alex by the door.
"Hey!" he shouted, running after them, the bags hitting him in the sides.
About 2 hours later…
"Can I please go put this stuff in the car?" Alex whined. He was carrying about 10 shopping bags.
"Fine." Serenity told him. He had been asking the same question for a long time now. He ran off towards the car park and shouted back to them,
"Go find somewhere to eat and call me when you do!"
"Well, lets do what he said and get some food!" Mai said, totally exhausted. They walked over to a nearby TGI Fridays and got a table for 4. Tea lent her phone to Serenity so she could text Alex to tell him where they were.
"Who is he?" Mai suddenly questioned Tea. Tea was caught completely off guard.
"What-what do you mean?" She asked, very confused.
"Oh, come on!" Mai said, "You've been buying the sorts of things you'd buy if you wanted a man to notice you! So who is it?"
"I have?" Tea blushed.
"Yeah, you have." Serenity agreed. Tea looked at her friends. She did trust them…
"Okay, but if tell you, you promise not to laugh or tell anyone?" Mai and Serenity nodded their heads in agreement.
"It's Seto Kaiba." Tea said quietly. Mai eye's widened and Serenity gasped.
"Hey, you're going out with his twin and he isn't so different from Seto. I mean, no offence, but don't they both have the same temper and everything?" Tea retorted to Serenity's gasp.
"Actually, they are quite different, but they can probably both be tamed and what you're left with is a kind and sensitive, young man."
"Alex is kind and sensitive?" Mai questioned Serenity.
"Oh, yeah! Just give him half a chance and he can be really romantic, too." Now Tea and Mai were staring at her in disbelief.
"Anyway," Serenity said, trying to get the staring to stop, "Try playing hard to get. That'll make him want you more." They had to stop their conversation because Alex and the waitress had come back.
"And what can I get for you?" the waitress asked.
6pm
After an hour long Lunch, they had gone to the movies, courtesy of Alex's credit card. The movie lasted 2 and half hours and afterwards, they went to HMV and a card shop. Alex took them back to the car where Mai dozed off in the back seat and Serenity laid her head on Alex's shoulder as he was driving. Tea was left with her thoughts.
'Play hard to get? How do I do that? Especially with Kaiba…' She sighed as Alex pulled up at Serenity's house. She was staying over with her. Alex shook the 2 sleeping girls awake and helped them get out with all their shopping. When he had done that, he kissed Serenity good night and drove off.
Alex pulled up in the Kaiba Mansion driveway. He handed the keys to the butler and walked inside. He checked on Mokuba who was doing his homework and then he went downstairs to find Seto. His brother was on a sofa looking at photo album. It was the one Serenity had made for Alex. Seto was looking at one page in particular. It was the page dedicated to Tea. Alex grabbed it from his hands
"Oi!" Seto said looking slightly startled. He hadn't realised his older brother had been behind him.
"Tea, eh? What do you have a crush on her or something?" Seto went strangely silent. Alex realised the truth.
"Oh. How bad?" Seto stayed silent.
"Come on, bro. I promise I won't tell anyone. We're brothers. We can tell each other anything." Seto looked at him and he knew he could trust his brother to keep a secret.
"Alright. But you can't tell anyone, okay?" Seto said seriously.
"Sure."
"Ever since Battle City, I've been slowly falling in love with Tea. I don't know how are why, but I have. And I don't know what to do about it."
"Have you tried talking to her?"
"Err..." Alex sighed.
"Geez... the first step to getting a woman, is getting to know her. Talk to her. Maybe even send her anonymous gifts..."
"Since when did you know women?" Seto asked looking puzzled.
"Since I started dating one. Now if you don't mind, I have to go soak my feet in something warm. I've seen enough clothes and shoes to make me throw up if I step into another department store ever again." Alex left the room and limped upstairs.
'Just talk to her.' Seto thought. 'It's so simple!' He too made his way upstairs. He entered his room and walked out on to his balcony.
'Just talk to her' He thought again. 'Anonymous gifts'
