Requests - part II
„Nii-sama!“
The door was opened before Seto could react. Sometimes he cursed himself for giving in to Mokuba’s plea never to lock his door, even if he was busy, because he already spent most of his time in front of his laptop and not nearly enough with his little brother.
“I have no time, Mokuba”, he declared, buttoning his shirt and looking for the blue tie that would match his white suit.
“Oh”, Mokuba sounded a bit disappointed. “I thought you didn’t have any meetings on weekends anymore.”
“I don’t”, Seto answered shortly, looking at the mirror. Then he sighed, turning to his brother. “What is it, Mokuba?”
The blue eyes of his little brother had a pleading look.
“You said I could buy me anything if I wanted it, right?”, he asked.
Seto was a little bit suspicious. “Yes, of course, as long as it’s not-…” He was interrupted by a meowing sound.
Mokuba looked a bit guilty as a small black kitten entered the room, still meowing and apparently searching for attention. “Look, I saw it and we got along pretty well-…”
“I don’t have the time to take care of an animal”, Seto said, eyeing the cat with mistrust.
“I will!”, Mokuba exclaimed immediately. “And when I’m away, Isono will. I asked him already.”
Seto was still not convinced to have something live in his house that was out of his control. The cat however seemed quite unimpressed by his hostility and rubbed itself against his legs. Seto glared at the animal, which just looked up to him with its astonishingly blue eyes. Quickly, Mokuba interfered and took the kitten in his arms, though he couldn’t suppress a giggle.
“She seems to like you”, he said happily. The older Kaiba run his hand over his face, trying to maintain his temper. “She…”, he paused and corrected himself. “It is not allowed to enter my room. You take care of that beast.” He looked at his brother, who was beaming at this announcement. Seto couldn’t help but to smile. “Why did you want a kitten, anyway?”, he asked, suddenly acting much more relaxed, as he watched Mokuba laughing as the kitten was licking his chin.
“Oh, it was Noah’s idea!”, the younger Kaiba explained, not noticing that his older brother twitched at the mentioning of their stepbrother. “Noah”, he repeated coolly. “Let me guess, he told you to buy it so it would annoy the hell out of me.”
Mokuba just smiled. “Nii-sama, don’t be like that. Noah respects you, he really does.”
Seto snorted. “Why on earth did he want you to buy a kitten, then?” His brother was avoiding his gaze now. “Well, it is a bit stupid…” Seto raised an eyebrow as Mokuba looked at the cat that was tugging at the sleeve of his pullover. “He thought I might like her because she has so strange eyes”, he said, grinning at his own explanation, as if it was a joke that Seto just didn’t get.
“What is with its eyes?”, the CEO asked, impatiently. “They are-…”
“Noah said she looks like you.” Mokuba was beaming at him. “You know, we could call her “Seto””.
Now it was official. Noah had planned to annoy him with that. Seto wanted to yell at Mokuba for daring to call a female kitten by his name, but the younger one already saw his expression and looked down at the floor. “… I knew you’d think this is stupid. I’ll give her back, okay?”
Seto felt a sudden rush of guilt, which he surely didn’t feel very often. Only Mokuba could make him feel this miserable.
“No, it’s yours”, he said immediately. “You can do with it whatever you want. I don’t care.”
Mokuba let the kitten jump to the floor and hugged his brother tightly around his waist. “Thank you, Nii-sama!” Seto sighed, as he knelt down to pull his little brother into a hug. Perhaps it was better this way. Now Mokuba had something to occupy him and it would surely make him happy for a while. And if this was the case, Seto would be able to ignore the fact that he was compared to this little fuzzy ball of flees. “But it stays out of here…”, he concluded aloud.
Mokuba smiled and gave him a quick peck on the cheek. “You’re the best, Nii-sama”, he said, before he was already away, picking the kitten up and turning to his brother, grinning. “But if you’re going out, you really shouldn’t wear a tie!”, he said, before he ran out of the room.
Seto was a bit taken aback by this sudden advice, but then he realized that Mokuba had to have noticed his perfume. Or maybe the movie tickets lying on the bed… Either way, he was probably right about the tie. It wasn’t fitting for the occasion, was it?
As he went downstairs, he heard Mokuba’s laughter out of the living room.
Despite the fact that he was now quite late for his appointment he quickly looked inside, only to see Mokuba lying on the couch, his head on Noahs lap, while the cat lay curled up on his belly.
“Oh, hi, Seto.” Noah noticed him almost instantly. “Going on your date?”
Seto was not really surprised. Noah knew almost everything that Mokuba knew. The youngest Kaiba hated it to keep something secret from any of his brothers. “Yes, and I’m quite late, so I just wanted a short statement.” He looked at Mokuba, who sat up a bit to have a better look at his big brother. The CEO was now dressed in black trousers and a white shirt. It was still a bit overdressed, but Mokuba smiled and nodded. “Approved.”
“Yes, you look just dashing”, Noah added with a grin.
“Shut up, Noah”, Seto snapped and quickly turned away, already half through the door, as Mokuba cried after him. “Wait, when are you coming back, Nii-sama?”
“I don’t know”, was the short answer, then the CEO was gone. They heard the front door close.
“Who is he meeting, I wonder…”, Noah said, still looking at the door.
Mokuba let himself sink back on his lap. “Can’t you guess?”, he asked.
His stepbrother returned his smile. “Oh, I suppose it’s not that hard to guess…” His smirk grew a bit wider. “I also guess we won’t be seeing Seto very often in the next time… At least not in the evening.”
Mokuba sighed, petting the little cat which was still purring on his belly. “Hm…”
“It’s has such a nice black fur, hasn’t it?”, Noah suddenly remarked, letting his finger stroke casually through Mokuba’s hair. The younger one looked a bit surprised as Noah smiled at him. “Never mind, I was talking nonsense”, he said quickly, but then, he seemed to change his mind. “You know what? If Seto is going out and leaving us behind… we might as well have our own date, don’t you think?”
Mokuba’s face seemed to lighten up a bit. “…And what do we do?”
“Oh, nothing particular”, Noah said with a grin. “We could order some Pizza and watch a movie… You know, just you, Seto and me.” He gave the younger one a small kiss on the lips.
Mokuba laughed. “Okay.” He put the cat on Noah’s lap. “Take care of Seto, I’ll get the phone!”
“You know what…?”, Noah said, as he was slowly petting the cat, waiting for his young stepbrother to return. “I would have called you “Mokuba”… But then he might have been not that eager to buy you.”
The kitten just purred and rubbed its head against his chest. “And of course, it would have been less fun”, Noah concluded with a smirk. “Don’t you think, Seto?” The cat meowed in agreement as he started caressing her again.
Haha, I hope you liked it. At least a bit. <3
EDIT: It looks awful, but I won't fix it now, as it's past midnight right now. Also, there a tons of mistakes.
I apologize! It's late and I would only make things worse. D:
