Kaiba rolled his eyes.

"There are plenty of things I don't complain about." He grumbled, setting the chocolates to one side for now.

Zeigfried, for all he was rather upset at Kaiba for a multitude of reasons, could not take his eyes off Pegasus. Being coy like this he really was too delicious. If they were alone and he was being this coy he would have pounced him. But they were not of course, but oh it was sinful watching him eat.

"Of course I shall bring you some more. How about I come by next week with a delivery, just for you?" He said with a smile.

Any excuse to get close to Pegasus. He'd make him forget Kaiba yet.

Kaiba on the other hand found himself rather fascinated watching Pegasus twirl a ringlet round his finger like that. For some reason he liked it, found it enjoyable to watch. Hmm, the air conditioning could do with being a notch lower in here, not that he was going to say anything.

"I have plans to be at a conference in New York next week, but perhaps you'd like to meet up there instead? We could go shopping, maybe even catch a show between meetings?"

Pegasus suggested helpfully. He was sure that someone from Ziegfrieds company would be at that conference and he liked to encourage him to get out more.
He was filling a crystal plate with a few cookies now, pink fluffy macaroons and something looking vaguely chocolate chip. He brought a chocolate dipped lady finger up to his mouth for a quick nibble before he set it down, turning to Kaiba then,

"You're not going to be at the conference too are you Kaiba-boi?"

He was a little worried about Kaiba traveling. He usually didn't and this time it had only gotten him into trouble. But it would be nice to see him there too, he needed to get in on the American market more and just generally live a little.

Zeigfried was positively beaming. Any excuse the be round Pegasus and he would run with it. His family would only be too happy he was volunteering for anything to do with work and the company, and the invitation to do things socially together was more than he could have dreamed of. Not to mention the idea that Kaiba would not be there because it was here in the US.

"I would love to, it would bring delight in the midst of all the company stuffiness. None of the executives really know how to enjoy themselves as I am sure you know."

Though they were looking to Kaiba who shrugged, wondering why he was feeling warm, and why watching Pegasus nibble a biscuit for some reason made his heart speed up. he wasn't feeling quite right.

"I hadn't decided. I think it depends on what I find and how fast in regards to last night's attack. I may well be very busy."

Zeigfried made a mental note to make sure he would be very busy.

Pegasus nodded to Ziegfried but he was more concerned with Kaibas answer.

"Yes, of course. If you need any help, you will let me know? I've a score to settle there as well."

He'd put his plate of cookies aside and place a warm hand on Kaibas shoulder. He looked at him with genuine concern and a dark glimmer in his make-up lined eye.
Pegasus would bring down hell on whoever had dared to come onto his island and harm one of his guests. Even if it were someone completely random and not kaiba at all, the principle of the thing would be all the drive he needed. But the fact that it was kaiba and the boy had so many things in life turn against him already, Pegasus being unfortunately one of them, made him want to protect him all the more.

Zeigfried watched on, Kaiba mostly, knowing that by now he had to be feeling the beginnings of the aphrodisiac in the chocolates. It was starting to show too. He was looking at Pegasus with a rather confused, and slightly hungry expression, especially as they were so close right now.

Kaiba's eyes were fixated on lovely pink lips, and was asking himself just why he was seriously considering kissing Pegasus right now. To tell the truth he felt like he was mildly drunk, certainly because kissing those lips felt like a good idea right now. He swallowed thickly and tried to keep his mind on his company, wondering what the hell was wrong with him.

"I'll keep you informed, but I'll be fine." He told him flatly, forcing himself to look away and pick up his cup of tea.

Maybe he wasn't so far wrong when he thought he had gone crazy yesterday. And maybe he'd banged his head on the rocks too.

Pegasus nodded in agreement and gave him a friendly pat on the shoulder before he pulled away ( ... )

Kaiba snorted softly at Pegasus.

"And you wonder why I don't trust you."

He focussed on the tea, making a real effort to try and ignore the heat rising in his body. He felt hot all over, the clothes stifling. For some reason every time Pegasus shifted beside him he felt it acutely, only seeming to make it worse. he was even beginning to feel a little light headed.

Zeigfried was smirking softly at Kaiba he was trying to ignore everyone else in the room.

"Seto dear, are you feeling quite well? You are looking a little flushed." He said, keeping the amusement out of his tone, but only just.

If he could get Seto to retire then he could try to work on Pegasus again without Kaiba as a distraction. In the mean time, he was having a wonderful time watching him squirm.

When he was done his cookies Pegasus set the crystal plate aside and leaned back in his seat. He ran both hands down his dress at the front and gave the concave lines of his stomach a rub.
"Oh my, I've never felt so full for eating so little. These corsets are a true hazard."
He reached into his sleeve and brought out a pink lace fan to begin fanning himself, feeling slightly flushed and not all that well. The gossamer ringlets of his hair moved softly in the breeze he was creating and if he'd had a bosom it would probably be heaving.
"Croquet, would you turn up the AC a little?"
The older man frowned and went to obey, he'd been caught just before asking if his Master would like to retire to his rooms to change. He was shaking his head slightly at the sillyness of costumes at a tea party.

Pegasus had two sets of eyes on him as he sat back and fanned himself. Zeigfried was simply enjoying watching him, and of course, Pegasus would be feeling a little of the effects of the chocolate too.

Kaiba on the other hand found he couldn't help but watch the ringlets, his slender neck... He was most grateful that Pegasus asked for the AC to be turned down cooler, he felt like he was breaking into his sweat. And worse, looking at Pegasus like that, certain parts of his anatomy decided that they found this very attractive.

He crossed his legs as heat began to pool in places he didn't want it too, and Pegasus was not the only one feeling unwell. Zeigfried was grinning into his tea cup as he drank. Well this was entertaining.

"You both seem a little flushed, are last night's adventures catching up with you?" He asked the pair, loving particularly how Kaiba now seemed to have real trouble looking away from Pegasus, and was starting to fidget.

Kaiba almost leapt out of his skin at the pat on the knee, a certain part of his anatomy attempting to leap up in interest as the touch was almost scalding. He was over-sensitive he discovered and was quickly realising he needed to get out of here. He knew whatever was going on with him was not natural right now, and Pegasus... well he believed he wasn't the kind to play those sorts of games and ( ... )

Pegasus had kept his hand resting on Kaibas leg and as the man talked he was absently stroking back and forth over the soft fuzzy pink fabric with his thumb. He nodded attentively to everything Kaiba was saying, only hazily aware of what all the tech talk meant coming from the pink little bunny beside him.
"Mmmm, as long as you know what you're doing... you always sound so very sure of everything. So very stoic, and firm. I like that about you, you know. That, you know, you-ness."
Pegasus had stopped fanning himself and slid to one side, kaibas side, so that he was all but leaning against his shoulder where he could snuggle into his plushy warmth.
He actually giggled a little bit but then had the decency to look slightly worried.
"Ah, I'm sorry. I don't think I can get up. But you don't mind being a pillow, do you Kaiba-boi? You are dressed well enough for it!"
Pegasus wrapped both his arms around the closest of Kaibas arms and hugged onto him.

Kaiba swore that if Pegasus was in on this and was doing what he was doing to make it worse, he would wring his scrawny little neck for him. The soft stroking of his thumb was sending shocks down his spine, and then...Kami-sama was he really flirting with him ( ... )

"Don't be like that Kaiba-boi. I know you can be cuddly if you try!"

Pegasus was playing with one of the floppy ears now and all but breathing against Kaibas neck. If the other man moved away from him he'd probably fall right off the couch he was leaning on him so completely.

"You're always so tense, there's no one else around for miles but me and Ziggy! If you just relaxed a little it would do you a world of good!"

He tried to get his hands on Kaibas shoulders and massage him. He was trying to be helpful in his own annoyingly clingy and slightly drunk way.

Croquet was back and back to glaring. He knew something was off and if Kaiba didn't make a break for it soon he'd have to find a way to drag his Master off to the safety of his bed. Things were getting much too cozy for a tea party.

Kaiba managed not to groan as Pegasus was so damned close. He probably could be cuddly in the right circumstances, but this was not the right circumstances, both at the mercy of whatever concoction the chocolates were laced with ( ... )

"Oh!...Oh, well if you must..."

Pegasus looked slightly surprised when Kaiba took him by the shoulders and positioned him back on his side of the couch as if he really were just a doll. It was a forceful but perfectly natural thing to do, and yet it sent a spike of heat coiling through Pegasus stomach, and lower, which made his cinnamon eye go wide and his breath all but stop in a gasp.

He was left sitting there looking after Kaibas rapidly retreating form, wondering just what that had been all about and why he so desperately missed the feel of him against him.
