good morning/good afternoon?toon_master1July 2 2011, 18:44:31 UTC
It was a beautiful sunny summers day much like the one before it, however this one came with the noise of a clean up crew and the slow exidous of party guests that were still waking up
( ... )
"Sometimes you can be such a fool." He muttered, though his tone was soft, grateful.
They both knew that he had major problems on his hands, he needed to be on good form when someone was out to kill him. He needed to be able to protect Mokuba first and foremost, then find out who was directing the puppets, and take the puppet-master down.
Zeigfried however was more than happy to have Pegasus' attention.
"When I can get out of the office. I do envy your private paradise, and wish I had one of my own. The press are so invasive. Its why mummy asked you to host my wonderful party. Everyone wonders where you went to. Just what were the two of you up to last night hmm?" He asked, his voice all playful tease, his eyes promising death to Kaiba.
Pegasus decided to dispel Ziegfrieds teasing with a dose of the truth. He was sure he was going to get plenty of sympathy and crocodile tears as he casually answered back
( ... )
Pegasus was pleasantly surprised that Kaiba hadn't jerked away from his touch by now, they had successfully shared a lounge chair.He supposed that Kaiba was acting a little more tolerant after last night, and the fact that Zigfried was here meant he was on his best behaviour to try and show up his rival
( ... )
Kaiba surfaced far more elegantly, to the sound of Pegasus laughing, at home in the water. Had he not been thrown into the rocks last night and winded, he would never have been in trouble in the water. Zeigfried glared horrific and painful death at Kaiba's smug look, the latter shrugging.
"Sorry, very clumsy of me."
Hackles raised and looking much like a wet cat, Zeigfried managed to get his hair out of his face with a planned duck under water and was making his way into the shallows and towards Pegasus.
"I suppose I can bear the humiliation for your enjoyment, especially after all you went through last night," He all but cooed at Pegasus. "Are you sure you are feeling well enough for this. I feel like I should be looking after you."
Kaiba rolled his eyes. Yes, soaking the idiot had been the right thing to do, look at him. Ugh, he was grateful he was not like that.
"Oh no, you don't need to trouble yourself Ziggy-boi. I'm quite used to being on my own. And this water is making me feel much better, it's so lovely and cool. I couldn't imagine a more perfect day to be enjoying the pool."
Pegasus replied all politeness and gentility. He refrained from asking Kaiba to apologize or any such thing because then he'd have to apologize for laughing and he'd never do that.
"Do go and enjoy yourself a bit, Kaibas surely not the only one who can make a dive look pretty?"
He waded out a few steps more and ducked down to wet the rest of his t-shirt, the pale pink fabric clinging to his chest. He didn't want to think about the bruises that were beneath it, for now he was just happy to have some time to relax. He was deep enough now that he could turn over onto his back and just float looking up at the clear blue sky, his silvery hair spreading out around him.
Zeiogfried chuckled in what he thought was a fetching manner.
"Of course not, not that I got to see him dive of course." He muttered.
He would much rather stay with Pegasus, but seeing as Kaiba was doing lengths, he had to do something to show himself off, to show Pegasus what he was missing out on with that dragon obsessed plebeian. Not an ounce of breeding in him, it was horrific that his company was losing out to the younger man's company.
He got out of the pool to dive, making sure every movement with lithe and sinuous, Kaiba pausing near Pegasus.
"You do know he's showing off for your benefit don't you?" He asked him, pretty certain Pegasus wasn't.
"Actually, I'd thought he was showing off for you."
Pegasus righted himself and stood on the bottom so he could watch along with Kaiba.
"The way you two are always at each other, you're either entirely too competitive, or you're circling each other to see who will make the first overture towards...well, you know. A more horizontal relationship, as they say."
Pegasus could only smirk at kaiba. He knew the other man didn't think like that at all. But he was pretty sure Ziegfried did and he was certainly here to show off 'everything' he had to offer.
"Sorry for trying to be a matchmaker then. I just thought that the two of you had so much in common, you know, you both own technology based corporations, you're both world class duelists, your's around the same age, you both have younger brothers, he likes lolitas and you look awefully cute in a dress...."
Pegasus had to smirk and was ready to duck after that last comment. He completely wasn't seeing that Ziegfried kept trying to show off to him. Ziegfried had always been that way, always one for the spotlight no matter where he was. And standing here in a baggy wet t-shirt with twice his share of bruises, he didn't feel like considering anyone in any other way than friendship at the moment.
"... the desire to kill each other. And you did make your feelings on the matter of the dress really rather clear." He said quietly while Zeigfried couldn't hear.
On that note the German decided to join them.
"You know Seto dear," he knew full well the Japanese man loathed him being so familiar with him, so spoke his first name with relish, "I am rather surprised to see you here. I had thought you were not at the party, I didn't see you anywhere." he said airily, trying to get a better understanding of how things had happened.
"You were not looking hard enough." Kaiba replied honestly.
"Well I am honoured I am sure, I never thought you would deign to attend such an occasion. I would have loved to have seen your outfit."
"Kaiba was in blue and white, his usual colours. We watched the fashion show together. I swear the man has no imagination when it comes to wardrobe, he wouldn't know a top designer if they walked up and stamped their label on his forehead. And he must own a trench coat for every day of the week!"
Pegasus didn't actually say Kaiba had been wearing a suit but that did describe his usual formal attire.
He turned to Zigfried once more with his best attempt at looking apologetic.
"I have to say again how sorry I am that I couldn't wear the dress you sent over for me. It was so kind of you to think of me and I know you must have had it custom made, but I simply couldn't do it justice. Besides, it was your special day, I'd feel worse for stealing attention away from you with such a gorgeous outfit as that."
Pegasus felt wonderfully lucky that he had dodged the bullet of wearing that dress. Hopefully Ziegfried would take it with him when he left so he'd never have to think about it again.
As Pegasus took it upon himself to describe what he had been wearing, he was incredibly grateful that he neglected to mention that it was a dress he had been wearing. He made it sound like he was in his usual formal wear
( ... )
"I'm sure if you gave it a try a change would do you a lot of good. Honestly even a change of colour would do you good. You can't keep wearing the same old thing, people will start to think you haven't anything better."
Pegasus turned back to kaiba always up for nagging him about something. Which considering that he himself wore the same suit ninety percent of the time was more than hypocritical.
He didn't see the way Ziegfried was eyeing him with visions of pink bows in his head. He was sure he'd put the matter of the dress to rest finally.
"Pot meet kettle." he muttered to himself. "I wear different colours other than blue and white." He huffed out loud. "Purple and black I wear regularly." he pointed out.
But he knew that this was just the status quo. If Pegasus wasn't nagging about something then things were really bad. This was just normality. Zeigfried chuckled.
"Perhaps if you are not going to wear the dress, we could persuade Seto dear to try it on. If nothing else, it would be entertaining to see you in pink. And I am sure you have the legs for s skirt."
Kaiba glared at him, Zeigfried coming very close to the bone for his liking.
