'Thoughts/Quoting'
"Speech"

Sunday was Anzu's day off. Now that she lived there she didn't really get a day off but at least she didn't have to wake up Mokuba and feed him on a Sunday. So she lay in bed and stared at the celling. 'How stupid was I last night, how could I love him…loves a strong word…like maybe…and I kissed him! At least it was just on the cheek... Yesterday was amazing though.' She cuddled the jacket tightly. 'I should give this back.'

She thought it wouldn't be bad to walk around in her pyjamas. They were blue with white spots, it was a shorts and vest set. She left her room and headed down the main staircase. Placing the jacket on the stand she noticed Mokuba sat on the kitchen counter. "Should you really be up there Mr." she said walking in, putting her hand on her hips.
"Ummmmmmm"
She gave him a look then giggled. "You had breakfast yet?" She went into the fridge and pulled out the milk.
"No was just about to make something." He jumped off the side and opened the cupboard and got out the cereal. Anzu looked at the time. It was only 9:30. She hadn't had as much of a lay in as she thought. They ate breakfast together and planned there day. Today was movie day. The plan was to stay in their pyjamas all day and watch scary movies in the cinema room.

In this room was a massive screen that covered the whole wall. There were an arrangement of comfy chairs and cushions all over the place. There was a walk in cabernet full of films. They were split into genres then arranged alphabetically, it was easy to find anything you were looking for.
"I wanna watch horrors!" said a very excited Mokuba.
"ummmm. I don't know…aren't you a little young for some of these movies?" Secretly, Anzu wasn't worried about Mokuba being scared. The truth was that Anzu was terrified of scary movies. "How about we go to the store and get snacks and then pick out the movies"
He agreed and to two of them walked to the store in their pyjamas. Mokuba thought the 'fun' of walking out side in the pjs must really be a girly thing but he went along with it anyway. He noticed that a lot of guys were looking at Anzu. Her shorts were quite small and her top was quite tight. 'Stupid guys,' he thought to himself. 'They don't realise that Anzu-chan is Onii-san's.'

When they got into the shop Mokuba headed straight for all the sweets. Anzu followed him with a basket as he dropped in all sorts of candies. They had drinks at the mansion but Seto didn't like to keep lots of sweets in the house, he wanted Mokuba to be fit and healthy. When the little Kaiba had picked out all he wanted they took it to the counter. Mokuba got out his wallet and paid for it all, it surprised Anzu how much money he had, Seto defiantly was generous to his little brother. Reluctantly, when they got back to the mansion, they went to the cinema room and Mokuba had a pile of horror movies. Grudge 1-3, ring 1-2, devil and many more to pick from. He wanted to start with something 'not so scary' and put devil in. This had Anzu jumping and screaming. She had already tipped popcorn on her beanbag chair by jumping up to fast. Mokuba kept making fun of her. She was not enjoying this.

Meanwhile, in a much calmer office, there was a very distracted CEO was trying to work. 'Why can't I stop thinking about it? It was just a kiss. It wasn't even a proper kiss; it was a peck on the cheek that by the look of her face she didn't even want to do.' His heart sank when he thought that. He stopped signing sheets of paper and sat with his head in his hands. Something had been there for weeks. A feeling that he couldn't shake. This girl had been living with him nearly a month now, she danced through his mind. The way she'd hum when she was doing things and the way she moved, when she spoke so softly in his arms. How small she looked when she cried for her father…how soft her skin was… 'Stop thinking such things! She's HIS cheerleader, your rival. She probably wouldn't want anything to do with you anyway. She's only here coz she's got no were else to go.' All these negative thoughts swam his mind. They wound him up until he was in a foul mood. It was time to head home. He thought he'd pick up something nice for dinner on his way back instead waiting for dinner to be cooked.

He walked in the front door and put the food down on the table. Before he could even think about plating up and eating he herd this deathly scream. It came from upstairs. He ran to where he herd the noise come from and burst through the door. "What the hell is going on?" He called out. The site was unbelievable. Anzu had come backwards off a chair and was on her back with her legs in the air. She had lemon aide all over her and popcorn in her hair. Mokuba was looking down at her trying not to laugh. On the big screen was a horrific looking monster. The look on Anzu's face was as if she was about to cry
"S-S-Seto-kun" she called out sobbing and covering her eyes. He picked her up off the floor and moved the chair. She wouldn't turn back towards the screen, she stared dead up at Seto.
"Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself or did Moki just get at you with his obsession for scary movies."
"I'm fine" her lip was still trembling as she spoke. Mokuba had already turned back to the screen and was entranced by the movie. Seto didn't know where to look. Anzu was incredibly cute like this. He let out a sigh and pulled her over to a big comfy arm chair, he sat with his feet up and pulled a confused Anzu on to his lap. "shhh and don't make a fuss. Moki likes scaring you by the looks of things." He smirked at her. Anzu went bright red and leaned against his chest. He was warm and comfy.

They finished that movie, ate dinner then started watching more. Anzu was terrified and Mokuba and Seto loved it. They were taking it in turns to do things to make her jump. On the way back from the bath room Mokuba crept in and leaped out from behind the chair and made Anzu scream and fall onto the floor. When the movie had a really tense moment and something was about to jump out and scream Seto blew on her neck and he had to hold her round the waist to stop her falling off him. After a while the boys stopped teasing her but they still made her watch. 'I don't wanna watch these anymore' inside her head she was sobbing. She felt something warm all around her, Seto could tell she was scared so he held her tight. 'I hope this movie is a little longer' he thought to himself. They rested cheek to cheek while the movie resolved itself. When the movie was over it was about 9pm. As it was Sunday Mokuba took himself to bed. "How's about one more movie?" he said with that sly smirk. "If we must." They both got up and Seto went and got another movie. He put it in and they moved to the small sofa. The movie started and it wasn't so bad, a jumpy moment every now and then but not bad. As the movie got scarier the closer Anzu got to Seto. It kept going till the point where he had his arm round her and she was nuzzling into his chest. The movie was coming to an end and the hero was speaking to his love-interest.
"I told you from the beginning, Miki, I will protect you"
"Kei…I was scared you were going to leave me, something would happen and I'll be all alone"
"Miki, for as long as I live, you will never be alone."
The two teens sheared a passionate kiss on screen; it made both the viewer's tummies flip. They looked at each other; Anzu blushed hard as her eyes met with his. They sat in silence watching each other. This wasn't normal. This wasn't what they were used to. They had never been together like this, thought of each other like this. Was this love? Was this fascination?

Seto made the first move, he closed in on Anzu. Hearts pounding, the both of them. Anzu was frozen, unsure of what was about to happen. Inch by inch they drew closer. They were practically touching noses when Kaiba moved to the side and hugged her close. She could breathe now, she felt a weird sense of disappointment but was enjoying the embrace. He laid back and pulled her down with him will they were laying side by side on the sofa. Both their hearts slowed down and became in sync.
Anzu brought up the courage to speak "Seto-kun wha-"
"shhhhhh. Do you not like this?" he spoke so softly it sent shivers down her side.
"No, I like this"
"Then…can we just stay like this for a while?" he reached out and touched the remote on the table. The T.V turned off and some gentle music came on. He stroked the hair away from her face and kissed her on the bridge of her nose. 'This must be a dream…' she thought. 'It's just too perfect, being this close to him…his lips look so soft…his breath is really warm…' She felt herself start to fall asleep, she wished this would just last for ever.
"Seto-kun…"
"Yes?"
She tilted herself up to be face to face with him. When Seto saw the sleepy look on her face he couldn't help but smile. She looked so cute and happy.
"Seto…..kun…"
She closed the space between them and gently placed her lips on his. Seto was shocked, he didn't know what to say.
"Night night Seto-kun…"
She fell asleep no more than an inch away from Seto's face. He kissed her softly on the lips again.
"Anzu, maybe you're not so blind. Maybe loving someone like you isn't so stupid."

He laid there holding her close, the two of them slept there together that night. Anzu was going to go back to the school tomorrow and Seto was going to make sure that no one upset her tomorrow. She'd smile all day even is it killed him.
