I updated everything else. I figured why not.

Childhood

"Lonely" and "isolated" and "unfair" were only three words Mokuba used to describe his childhood. He was bullied by the other orphans for being small for his age. The only thing that made him happy was Seto. He was there for him all the time when others gained on him. He taught him simple joys like playing chess and confusing the bullies with logic—the last one he didn't understand when he was younger, but he did remember laughing at his tormenters faces.

Kaiba hated his childhood. All it did was remind him of the insignificant other orphans who he lived with. It reminded him of those days just sitting in his room waiting for something to happen. It reminded him of those nights he stayed up late under Hobson's eye studying for some ridiculous test of Gozaburo's. It reminded him of the disappointing gaze of his "father" when he did something whether it be good or bad. It reminded him that he never was able to have a childhood and that he was forced to grow up. He never thought of his childhood because he loathed it. He tried what he could to make Mokuba happy—throwing a tournament and even making him an amusement park.

He'd never admit it out loud—or even to himself—but he wanted to give Mokuba the childhood he never had.


Oh, Kaiba brothers. You make me happy with your angsty back story.
