Prompt 23: There's one Christmas cookie left, so I challenge you, winner takes the cookie
One blond eyebrow twitched.
Two blue eyes squinted.
"I deserve the last cookie because I managed to put up with your sorry ass for the past year."
"You love my ass." Seto replied, smirking.
Jonouchi frowned, "That's not what I meant."
"If anything, I should get the cookie for giving you this sorry ass."
"I give you my ass just as often!"
"GuysΒΈ please." A third voice pleaded.
The two arguing men turned to the younger Kaiba who was covering his ears with his hands.
"Hah, sorry Mokuba!" Jonouchi apologised sheepishly.
Seto laughed.
"I'll duel you for it." Kaiba suggested.
Jonouchi frowned, while an excellent duellist, he had only beaten Kaiba a handful of times and he didn't want to risk this.
Plus, a duel between them could last hours and Jonouchi wanted that cookie now.
"No. Rock paper scissors?"
"We're not ten."
Jonouchi sighed, Mokuba laughed.
"Ok, have fun deciding you two, I'm off to bed." He smiled, wishing them goodnight before retiring to his room.
"Chess?" Seto asked.
Joey shook his head vigorously, "Arm wrestle?"
"No."
Jonouchi laughed.
"Snap?"
"Last time we played that, you guarded the cards with one hand and screamed the entire time."
"It was really intense! Ok, Snakes and Ladders?"
Seto considered it for a moment and finally agreed.
Jonouchi sighed in relief and moved to the game cupboard, pulling out the old game.
"Since I'm a gentleman, I'll let you go first." Jonouchi smiled, winking.
"That eager to lose?"
"Hah! We'll see."
They played the game as intensively as they played every other game, trading insults and trash talk back and forth.
Jonouchi was seven squares away from the winning square, wishing for any number other than three as that would land him on a snake, bringing him all the way back to the second row.
He rolled a three.
Seto laughed as the blond whined in disappointment.
A few rolls later, Seto landed on the same snake which brought him down to the same place Jonouchi had been.
This time Jonouchi laughed loudly, winking at the brunet.
The game lasted longer than either of them expected.
Eventually it was Jonouchi who emerged victorious.
Seto scowled.
"Always such a sore loser." Jonouchi winked, retrieving the prize.
He walked over to his partner who was sitting back in the large comfy chair, gently slipping onto the others lap.
"Wan'a split it?" he asked, smiling.
"What was the point of the game then?" Seto asked, adjusting his arm to slip around the blonde's waist.
"Fun." He winked.
Seto frowned, but accepted half the cookie that the other offered, kissing him in the forehead as a thank you.
