Chapter Twelve: I Wish…

As Mina sat down on Seto's bed, she shivered slightly. It felt weird, just sitting here like this, in a strange house, in a strange bed. She wrapped her arms around herself and shivered again. No, it wasn't just her. She really had a chill.

"Urgh…"

She pulled the comforter off the bed and wrapped it around herself, still sitting on the side of the bed, watching the moonrise from one of Seto's large windows.

Kaiba walked past his bedroom door on the way to the laundry room-(for clean clothes, probably)-and paused a minute, glancing in. Silence billowed around him as he watched Mina just quietly sitting there, staring at the moon, the light lightly falling on her face and eyes, brightening them so they shone with an almost eerie glow. He shook his head and knocked lightly. Mina jumped nearly a foot in the air and landed, shaking.

"Eep! Oh, hi Seto."

"You can't sleep in that, you know."

Mina suddenly felt very strange. This was not the Kaiba she was used to. This was like The-Kaiba-At-The-Ball Kaiba. The one that only came out when they were alone. She shuddered.

"I-I guess not."

He stepped inside the room and to his closet, looking around until he found what he was looking for. He tossed one of his button down shirts at her and smiled slightly. Mina shuddered again. This was unreal.

"Try that-I'll be down the hall and Mokuba is down the other end if you need anything." He smiled again and stepped out of the room, leaving Mina there holding his shirt.

She slipped into it lightly, folding the bathrobe on an armchair. The sleeves were much too long, and she grinned despite herself, burying her nose in the shirt and just savoring the smell of clean laundry and cologne and Seto. It was almost like he was right there with her…

Mina mentally slapped herself again and shook her head. No-she had to stop. It wasn't good to daydream so much. With a sigh, she stood to close the door, wishing he would come back. For some crazy reason, she wanted to tell him all about the zoo.

Right after she shut the door, it opened again, and Kaiba came back into the room, whirled her around, and kissed her.

…What?

Not a girl scout kiss-deep, powerful, demanding kiss, and after a while when they broke away he looked down at her, and she looked up at him, eyes bright and smiling.

How did you know?

I just did.

His hands were on her shoulders, and he shook his head, smiling lightly.

"That was a little bit surreal."

Mina nodded in response.

Both felt the lust pulling at them, but they resisted it, and Kaiba picked Mina up and lay her on the bed, tucking her in as if she were a small child. She smiled at him and yawned, watching as he sat down in a chair and watched her.

"Will you stay until I fall asleep?"

The request was simple, pure, truthful. Kaiba was surprised by it, but he nodded silently.

"Sure."

And the two stayed that way, until Mina drifted off into an easy sleep and Kaiba dozed off, arms crossed on his chest, eyes closed.

She would tell him about the zoo tomorrow, her mind told her, and she dreamed about it.
