Chapter Two:

 

Wonderful job you did Kaiba Seto, you've just upset your younger brother and you're leaving for a month tomorrow... How the hell could he possibly fix this without cancelling his trip? The teen stood and walked over to his dresser, taking out a pair of sweatpants to change into before going into the bathroom. There really was only one thing he could do...

--- --- ---

He stood outside of Seto's room in the hallway. He had most likely over-reacted. The youth shook his head lightly as he headed back to his room. What was wrong with him? The way his Niisama behaved had never bothered him as much as it had been lately...

---

Once he'd showered and changed he contemplated over what to do. Mokuba might not even want to see him right now, and he didn't want to upset him further. No, instead the brunette went over to the desk situated by the window, sitting himself down in front of it.

---

He paced back and forth in front of his bed, thinking. He knew his brother still loved him, that was a given...but just exactly what did he feel for his niisama. He finally came to sit down on his bed, and sighed heavily. This was just too confusing for him!

---

Seto paused his typing for a moment, what if when he tried to straighten this out, that Mokuba just refused him? Should he have gone after him right away, or was it still fine if he were to go over to his room now? He had to think about it for a moment, deciding to leave his computer the way it was for now and speak with Mokuba instead. Leaving his own room, the brunette went to Mokuba's door and lightly knocked on it.

---

He had been staring intently at the wall, hoping that an answer to his problems would just magically appear upon them. He crossed his arms and looked at the door when he heard the knock. "You can come in." He said- voice flat.

 

The teen came in, closing the door behind him and leaning back against it. Seto crossed his arms over his now bare chest, eyes remaining on the other. "Mokuba, I thought we talked earlier, why did you leave the room like that?" He asked. Why was the younger taking everything too personally- wasn't that his job?

 

He felt his cheeks grow a little warm, as a light tint of pink covered them, and he looked away from him quickly "I was annoying you, so I left..." He said, rather simply, "God forbid I try and take up any of Kaiba Seto's precious time." he said, a little sarcastic for him.

 

"I can't believe I was actually going to post-pone the trip until we had settled this, but if you're going to act like a brat of all things, then I guess there isn't much point in me staying." Kaiba didn't raise his voice; instead, he opted to use a monotone voice, acting like he normally would with anyone else as he turned to leave.

 

His mouth opened slightly to say something, and he noticed his brother was leaving. He immediately stood from the bed, "Niisama!" He reached out and grabbed his arm, shaking his head slightly “No! Don't go!" he said, as he felt tears come to his eyes “I'm sorry...."

 

Kaiba's left hand was still on the doorknob, having already half turned it. His gaze stayed focused on the door, not bothering to turn around as he spoke. "Sorry makes up for that? I apologized for being late, Mokuba. I reminded you that I would never stop caring about you. Yet you have the gall to say that I don't." Kaiba finally did turn to face him, anger, hurt, and possibly betrayal a confusing mess in his sapphire eyes. "Maybe it's you that doesn't care Mokuba."

Mokuba bit his bottom lip lightly, tears that he really wanted to hold back, were falling freely. "No, don't say that!" He continued to hold onto Seto's arm, "That's not the problem...I do care...I...I care too much!" he finally admitted before turning his back to his brother, he couldn't look at him anymore. His Niisama was so angry right now, and what he said probably didn't make things any better.

 

The brunette had to do a double take, not believing what he had just heard. Mokuba cared too much? He didn't know how to respond. This was his younger brother, his brother! Then again, this was Mokuba, the only person who actually knew him and didn't seem to mind. Seto sighed; this was confusing as hell... But before he consulted his thoughts, he needed to get his cheerful little brother back. Seto released his hold on the doorknob and turning fully to watch the younger for a moment before moving to stand right behind him. Seto wrapped his arms around Mokuba, pulling him back to lean against him lightly.

 

His eyes went wide, and he blinked a few times. What was going on? He had expected everything from his bother but a hug. "N-Niisama....!?" His voice was questioning, and he tilted his head to look up at him, eyes full of confusion, and his face, tear-stained.

 

"Hm? Am I not allowed to hug you now?" Seto knew the other hadn't been expecting that, he hadn't himself, but it was a little too late to take it back, plus impossible. He wiped away any still falling tears, lightly caressing the tear-soaked cheek briefly before looking back into Mokuba's confused eyes.

 

"No... That's not it..." He mumbled. His eyes only seemed to grow more confused, as he gazed into his brother's brilliant blue ones. "You....You're not mad at me?" He questioned, amazed by this.

 

"No, I'm not mad at you, that wouldn't get us anywhere. I don't see a reason to hate you because of this." Seto answered. A brushed a few of his bangs aside, "You don't seem to understand something Mokuba- I can't hate you."

 

Mokuba nodded slightly. His brother's soft touch felt amazing. "Seto...I love you...probably more then I should..." He said this, thinking the brunette had not understood what he had said before.

 

"I heard you the first time, Mokuba. So stop worrying so much, alright?" He really seemed worried about what Seto would think, do or say it seemed, needing to make sure he heard him. It was oddly enough cute to him, causing Seto to smile slightly.

 

He nodded, though he couldn't help but feel nervous. "Alright..." His voice was slightly shaky. "Niisama...I'm glad you aren't angry..." He began to silently wonder if maybe Seto felt the same way about him...

 

Seto nodded silently in response. He seemed to think something over for a moment before focusing on Mokuba again. "I think now though, it's time for you to go to bed. We can talk about this further tomorrow if you want." Sleep was actually starting to sound good to him too, since he couldn't quite remember when the last time he'd slept properly was.

 

Mokuba nodded and stepped away from his brother, "Can I come and sleep with you? I promise not to cling to you." He said, sounding hopeful.

 

The elder Kaiba brother stayed silent for a moment before nodding slowly. Seto took his brothers' hand, killing the lights in this room before leaving it and going over to his. He closed the door behind them, gesturing towards the bed for Mokuba to go get under the covers. "I need to quickly do something still..." The brunette went back over to his desk, needing to finalize his postponing of his trip.

 

Mokuba sighed slightly and climbed into bed "You aren't working this late at night, are you?" he questioned. He knew Seto would stay up late sometimes, but working now was just a little unreasonable. He blinked, and pulled off his jeans, leaving him in his boxers and shirt. Jeans would be uncomfortable to sleep in.

 

"No, I need to finalize something about my trip, since it's now been bumped by a month." Seto went silent for a few minutes, finishing up quickly. Once that had been sorted out and fixed, he shut down the computer, standing up from his desk and over to his bed. At least now he had time to sort this through without leaving.

 

He smiled widely, "Are you sure you can do that? I thought it was super important?" In Mokuba's mind, there was nothing to work out if they both felt the same, but he was young, and didn't know of complex relationships yet.

 

"It is important, and now it's been moved." Seto slipped in under the covers, and shrugged. "Apparently I can change the date because I just did." He smirked, he was going to be getting hell from some people tomorrow. Oh well, he had a little brother that was a bit more important right now.

 

Mokuba couldn't help but giggle slightly, "I guess it helps when you are the president, right niisama?" He said, that happy tone coming back as he snuggled against his brother.

 

He merely continued to smirk for a moment before it slipped into a smile, hearing the other giggle. "Owning a company has its perks of ticking employees off." Blue eyes glanced down at Mokuba now snuggled against him. Right at that moment, he was more then just in a good again. Mokuba was back to being happy, the younger had finally said what had been bothering him, and Seto would probably be able to fire a few idiots the next day.

 

The younger brother nuzzled his head against the older one's arm and made a light, happy noise. "Can you stay home with me tomorrow?" he questioned, as he placed his arms around his brother.

 

Seto stayed silent for a moment, merely watching the younger before turning his towards the window. "We'll see." He answered simply. Blue eyes stayed focused on the glass a moment more before turning their attention back to the raven haired boy in his arms.

 

Mokuba shifted slightly, and moved so his head lay on his brother's chest, right over his heart. His eyes slipped closed as he sighed happily. He enjoyed lying with Seto like this, and he made a mental note to try and get his brother to let him do it more often, "Arigatou, niisama..."

 

The brunette stayed silent, simply watching Mokuba until the boy fell asleep. It was only then that he allowed himself to sleep somewhat, though many times he woke up if Mokuba stirred. Regardless, he still slept better then he normally did.

-- -- --

Kaiba was awake even before sunrise, and couldn't force himself to get another hour's rest whether he wanted to or not. His body refused to comply, since a few hours were what he usually got and he'd passed that. Instead, he was left to watch Mokuba for the next few, since if he moved the younger he might've woken him.

--

Slowly, Mokuba willed himself to wake up. The sun was bright now as he opened his eyes, the sudden light made them sting and water a little. With the back of one hand he reached up and rubbed his eyes slightly. He looked to Seto and saw he was already awake. "Ohayo gozaimasu," he yawned, "Niisama." He stretched his arms out behind him, as he let out another yawn.

 

"Ohayo, Mokuba." Blue eyes watched him wake up, something of a smile toying with his lips at his actions. He moved away from him, going into his closet to retrieve something to wear.

 

He smiled again and sat up. His raven hair was a mess, sticking up in odd ways, even more so then usual. He yawned once more. Storm coloured eyes followed his brother over to the closet, "So, are you going to stay home today?" he questioned.

 

"I need to go into the office to finish sorting out my trip's date change." He didn't find being bothered at home appealing and would rather get this done and over with. "It shouldn't take too long." Seto took his clothes and retreated to the connecting bathroom to shower and change.

 

He sighed slightly. Yeah, Seto could say he was going to just go and 'change his trip dates' but Mokuba knew his brother, and knew that something, no matter how miniscule it was, would hold his brother's attention and keep him at the office. He climbed out of Seto's bed and walked to the door, "I'll see you tonight then..." He mumbled to the empty room.

--- --- ---

Once done with his regular morning routine, Kaiba retreated to the kitchen to retrieve a much needed cup of coffee, a habit that Mokuba had yet to break. The teen was already going over what he had to do at Kaiba Corp., not wanting it to take more time then necessary.

 

Mokuba dressed, deciding he would take his shower later. He stretched his arms up to the ceiling as he walked down the stairs, and into the kitchen. He smiled slightly at his brother before he began searching through the cabinets, trying to find a suitable cereal. The younger Kaiba had grown very independent, and if he had wanted to he could have made himself something more extravagant for breakfast. "I guess I'll see you around the same time as last night?" he said, lightly, in a non-caring tone.

 

"Don't start with me, Mokuba." His voice held a hint of warning. Why was he starting already? Hadn't last night been enough arguing for the both of them... "Why do you have to try and start an argument already? You aren't awake for more then twenty minutes and already you're starting with the guilt trips."

 

He grabbed a box of some kind of overly-sugared cereal and smiled slightly. He turned to look at the older Kaiba, "Niisama, I'm not trying to argue, I just know from past experience that when you go to work, something happens and you get caught up, and then lose track of time." He walked to the fridge and pulled out the milk, "It's only the truth." he added.

 

Kaiba muttered something under his breath but didn't say anything else, finishing the last of his drink before leaving the cup in the sink and leaving the kitchen. He didn't bother saying anything, since there wasn't much point in doing so. An hour was the most he'd let this take- firing anyone who would dared say anything.

 

"Good bye to you too!" He shouted after his brother. The youth found it rather rude for his brother to not even say goodbye to him. Mokuba sighed slightly, and turned to the counter, climbing up on it like he usually did to reach the bowls at the top, but one of the maids obviously hadn't wiped the counter off very well, and he slipped from the counter top, hitting his head on the edge as he fell...
