After his not-so-innocent shower, Kaiba was ready to face his guest without getting drunk by the gaze of those crimson eyes. He felt he was more rational now, Kaiba hated to feel out of control.
He knocked Yami’s door and waited little for his answer. Yami was wearing Kaiba’s clothes that were a little big for him.
“Good to see they fit you”
“Me too” He admitted “Thank you!”
“Give me your clothes, I’ll give them to Mary. She will wash them and iron them for tomorrow.”
“That would be nice but I’m leaving soon”
“Yami, half of the city has no lights and the storm didn’t give up yet. Stay the night.”
Yami was pleased by the invitation and suddenly remembered that Yugi and Mr. Muto could be in trouble.
“I’ll stay, thank you very much. But can I just use your phone to let Yugi know where I am? He and grandpa must be worried about me”
“Sure, there is a phone next to your bed. Mokuba and I will be waiting for you to eat at the kitchen with, alright?”
“Ok”
Yami proceeded to calm down a very concerned Yugi on the phone and when he was finally done, he went to the kitchen. Well, he entered the wrong room at least twice before finding it, but there he was at last. It wasn’t a small kitchen like the one they had at home, it was a large , well equipped and beautifully decorated place. And despite its size, it was still cozy and it had a table where Kaiba and Mokuba were waiting.
“Everything alright in your place, Yami-kun?”
“Yugi was kind of freaking out but it’s fine now” He said smiling
“You mean a great deal to him, you know? I can see by the way you guys talk”
“Yeah, you’re like brothers, right?” Mokuba said entering the conversation
“Yes, Mokuba, like brothers and best friends”
“Well Yami-kun, I’m going to make myself some toasts, I don’t eat much at night. And Mokuba is going to have some soup because of his teeth. We have many things for you to choose in the fridge that were made for lunch or you can have soup as well, there is more than enough for both of you”
“I’ll have soup as well, is that ok Mokuba?”
“Of course! They made gallons of it!”
Yami noticed while he was heating up his soup that it was the first time he and Kaiba were seeing each other outside school and the duel arena. Kaiba was wearing blue jeans and a white shirt. It seemed silly, but Yami had never seen that much of Kaiba’s skin. He was always covered in his usual white cloak or his perfectly tailored white suit or even the school uniform. He allowed himself a little peak at his arms, noticing they were strong but not too built up.
They all sat at the table had a pleasant meal together.
“So Mokuba, you took off how many wisdom teeth?”
“All of them!” He said in a regretful tone
“All at once? That’s why your cheeks are like this. That must hurt…”
“When I came back from the dentist I was in a lot of pain, but I’m fine now. Plus, Nii-sama was with me during the whole procedure, so I wasn’t afraid”
So that’s why he missed classes on Tuesday, Yami thought.
“Still, you were really brave Mokuba. I couldn’t do that myself. I took them off in pairs.” Kaiba said in a reassuring way.
“But your roots were all twisted! Way worse than my case”
“Even so, Mokuba… I really wouldn’t yake them off all at once like you. I hate going to the dentist and have someone with gloved hands touching the inside of my mouth and scratch my teeth and hear that horrible sounds of those machines…”
Kaiba made a legit disgusted face while describing all that, which made Yami laugh on the inside. Apparently, the Kaiba brothers didn’t like dentists at all and he could totally imagine they comforting each other after a dentist appointment.
Suddenly, a cellphone that was close to the sink started ringing and Kaiba didn’t think twice before answering it, like it was completely natural to receive a business call close to ten o’clock at night. He didn’t say much during the call but by his face Yami could tell he wasn’t pleased at all. He hunged up the phone saying he would take care of the situation right away.
“Sorry guys, I have some things to take care off. I’ll go to my office and make some calls. If you need anything Yami-kun, ask Mokuba, ok? Unfortunately I can’t be interrupted while I make video conferences”
“Wow, you’re going to Kaiba Corp right now under this rain?”
“No, I have an office at home too. Yami-kun, feel free to do whatever you want like going to the library, watching something, sleep… Just pretend you are home. Mokuba, give him some company in case he doesn’t go to sleep right away. See you two tomorrow” Kaiba said like he was designating a mission to everyone while he took care of his own task. He left the kitchen right away and rushed to his office, leaving the two boys alone.
“Does this happen frequently?” Yami asked in a kind of concerned way
“Well, this last two weeks have been hard on him. Someone is trying to hack our system to change our decisions on the stock market and get industrial secrets. I don’t know how he manages to take care of all that. I try to help him as much as I can but he is still the CEO, so it’s kind of inevitable he has more things to deal with than the rest of us”
“Can’t he designate more tasks to others?”
“I tell him that all the time, but he trusts no one. I don't blame him after all we've been through, but he is clearly getting overloaded with work. Anyway, do you want to watch something like a movie?"
Yami was tired, after all he and Kaiba had studied all day after school, bur somehow he wanted to spend some time with Mokuba.
"Sure Mokuba! But can it be something shorter? I don't think I can watch an entire movie without falling asleep"
"Do you like Shingeki no Kyojin? I haven't watched the last two episodes that were released"
"Are you kidding me? It's one of my favorites! I just didn't watch the last one but I'll watch it again with you"
"Nice! Thanks, Yami!" Let's go to the TV room and watch it"
Meanwhile, Kaiba was in the second internal fight of the day. He made enough calls to know there was no way he could sleep in the next five hours. There was another attempt to hack their system and he was pissed about it. There was no time to wake all the people involvef in the digital security of the corporation and explain all the complexity of the problems he detected and the security leaks he was suspicious about. Plus, he had to follow security protocols to allow other computers other than his own to access what was being attacked and that takes time. There was no time to lose. So he did the only thing he could do: he unlocked a drawer and got his jar of Adderall.
He had known the drug for some months, promising himself only to take it when it was strictly necessary. Adderall is a drug used to treat people with attention-deficit disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. It all started when Kaiba was kid in the devilish hands of Gozaburo Kaiba. His adoptive father was aware Kaiba was extremely smart and had no ADHD but he was never satisfied with speed of his learning. So one day he started to give him Ritalin as a central nervous system stimulant. The young Seto Kaiba was indeed more focused during his lessons, but they both were surprised of how quick Seto's body would adapt to a every time higher dose of the medicine. Gozaburo decided it has all been taken too far and for Seto's happiness, he stopped giving him medicine.
Many times Seto wanted to tell Mokuba about this episode of his childhood but was so embarrassed about the abuse he had suffered that talking about it was simply too painful. He refused to take the pills many times only to be beaten up by his adoptive father and having them forced against his throat. He eventually gave up fighting with the man, what made him feel ashamed of himself. And now, there he was, taking pills for a higher intellectual performance, to stay awake for at least another five hours and writing a new security code for his company.
It was around three thirty in the morning when Kaiba decided he had done enough for now. He fixed the weak spots that were attacked and started to improve the already existing code. He was exhausted but very agitated at the same time, a well-known side effect of the medicine on him. He knew he had to eat something but his stomach was hurting considerably. Nausea was somehow new to him, but he also knew that if he had eaten better at dinner, this probably wouldn't be happening. He went to the kitchen and decided to eat something and try to sleep later.
Kaiba made his way to the kitchen and there, heated up some soup for him. He thought it was the perfect choice since Mokuba didn't like soups with a lot of ingredients. He was midway on finishing his soup when he heard someone coming from the corridor. He wished with all his heart it wasn't Yami but he knew Mokuba never woke up during the night except when he had nightmares. Kaiba held his breath while listening the steps get closer until Yami opened the door. Kaiba noticed he was in trouble instantly by the face Yami made when he saw him.
"Kaiba-kun, sorry for walking around in your house. I just want a glass of water"
"Not a problem, I told you to feel comfortable. Get a glass under de sink"
Yami got some water and sat in the table with Kaiba, observing him like he wanted to say something but was finding courage to do that while Kaiba finished his soup. After a moment of silence, he finally asked "Kaiba-kun… are you… ok?"
"What do you mean?" He answered sharply
"Hum… you look agitated… and you've been up all night and… your hands are shaking" Yami said in an apologetic tone
Kaiba got concerned when he realized his hands were, indeed, shaking. They weren't when he started eating. What could be going on with him?
"Oh I had too much coffee to stay awake, that's why"
"Are you sure? Maybe you could have some tea to fall asleep… that usually helps me"
"Sounds like a good idea" Kaiba answered feeling the tremor in his hands was getting worse. But he didn't have much time to think about it since he felt his stomach contract painfully. He ran instinctively to the bathroom, leaving Yami behind.
There was no time to lose when he got there, he just lift the toilet seat up a threw up until there was nothing left on his stomach. He wasn't thinking about it, but Yami was right behind the door waiting for him to finish his business to try to help him. When Kaiba was done and flushed the toilet, he sat on the floor next to it feeling exhausted and with watery eyes. Then, he heard a knock on the door.
"Kaiba-kun, can I come in?"
"Leave me alone, please. I'm not feeling very well"
"Kaiba, this is exactly why I'm not leaving until you open this door"
Kaiba was mortified to let Yami look at him in this state, he hated to feel weak and vunerable, but what choice did he have? He really needed some help.
"I'm coming in, ok?"
"Alright" He answered defeated on the floor
Yami was not used to see someone sick, so he was surprised to see Kaiba the way he was right now. He was pale and had wild but still tired eyes. His hair was all messy and he looked like hw wouldn't be able to get up from the floor by himself. Yami sat on his side on the floor and stayed quietly for a moment.
"Can I help you get up? Your driver is here right? I'll wake him up so we can go to the hospital"
"I'll be fine, Yami-kun. Just need some rest… My stomach must have gotten irritated with all the coffee I drank" He insisted on his lie.
"Are you sure? You don't look well at all… I'm worried, you know" Yami admitted
Those words touched Kaiba in a new way. It would usually make him feel uncomfortable, but with Yami it was different, he felt grateful he had him to count on.
"Just help me get up and go to my room. I promise I'll go to the hospital If I'm not well in the morning"
Yami agreed silently and helped him get up slowly, leaving his worries aside for the brief moment when their hands touched. This was the first time it happened. To be honest, he couldn't remember if they had ever touched each other at all.
Yami took him to his room, being kind of excited to have a peek inside Kaiba's room even if it was all dark. When they finally got there, Yami made Kaibasit on his king-size bed with blue and white sheets and sat by his once more.
"Is there anything I can do for you, Kaiba-kun?" He finally asked after a moment
Oh there were many thing the CEO wanted Yami to do right now, like listening to him tell the truth about what was happening and receiving kind words in response. He wanted Yami to hold him for a while, to give him comfort and tell him it was all going to be alright when he wakes up in the morning. But more than anything, Kaiba just wanted him to stay close for a while, he felt very lonely, lost in his bitter memories. He was sure Yami was concerned about and willing to help him, it was more than clear on those crimson eyes looking straight into his blue ones.
"Well… could we just talk for a while? I mean, I can't stop thinking about work and school… I'm very tired but my mind is racing…"
"Of course, we can do hat… But why don't you put something more comfortable on and lay down already? When you feel like sleeping just tell me and I'll leave you to it"
"Alright" He answered getting up and grabbing some clothes on his wardrobe. "Just give me a minute to brush my teeth and change"
He came back in five minutes wearing light grey pajama. Kaiba got under his covers and before he had the time to think of a subject, Yami started he conversation.
"So why don't we make simply random questions to each other? I feel like I know you so little about you" Yami suggested
"Hum.. I don't know… I don't like to talk about myself to people"
"Oh come on! We can ask simple things like… What's your favorite food?"
"Alright… Let me think… I think it's beef with smashed potatoes" Kaiba answered a bit relieved Yami seemed determined to keep the conversation light.
"Really? I thought it would be something more elaborate. I mean, you probably know a lot of cool restaurants"
"Well, I like to taste new things but this combination is the best to me. Ok, it's my turn to ask… what kind of music do you like?"
"That's an easy one. Ever since I heard an electric guitar the first time, I fell in love for it. So I can say I listen to rock in general"
"Why am I not surprised?" Kaiba said with a playful smile in the corner of his mouth
"What's that even supposed to mean?" Yami said surprised
"You're joking right? You totally look like those people that put headphones on and do that 'air guitar" thing"
Yami blushed because it was true and Kaiba didn't let him get away with it so easily.
"I knew it!" The CEO said triumphally
"Shut up!" Yami said staring to laugh, which made kaiba laugh little. "It's my turn now, so tell me Kaiba-kun, what's your favorite TV show?"
I don't watch many things because I don't have a lot of time for it, but I watched some episodes of Sherlock and I'm trying to find time to continue watching ever since"
The conservation went on nicely for about an hour, revealing a lot of funny preferences since Yami got enthusiastic and started to make up questions like "Would you rather have green eyes and orange hair or stay ten minutes in a tank filled with spiders?"
Yami went to the bathroom for a minute and when he came back Kaiba had closed his eyes and looked like he was almost sleeping. He got closer and whispered, "Good night". Kaiba didn't open his eyes his eyes but whispered a "Good night" in response. Yami turned off the lights and left still worried about Kaiba, but grateful he could help.
