A/N: This is the last chapter. There won't be a sequel. If you still want one, read 'Snippets Of A CEO's Life'. THANKS again! Check out my upcoming fics! There'll be soon something else, hopefully even funnier than this one!
Thanks Tawnykit for beta-ing. ---hug--- And for your kind words!
I don't know much about traditions in Japan, in particular weddings. I settled for an European version instead.
Sangha
PS. Serenity's 5ft 3. I do not know if guys like shorties but I suppose yes they do. ? If he dared calling her a midget she would probably kick him in the groin. Anyway, funny questions…
To Generic Hero: You're absolutely right about the exhibition—that's one of the reasons I made Mokuba to the "brain" behind the ideas of how to spend the day. Determined Seto knows there'll be sacrifices on his way to get the girl… Anyway, I'm glad you like the story!

How To Find A Girlfriend In Seven Days?

Chapter Twelve

"Who Was To Know?"
-
"I know pronounce you as husband and wife." With a blessing smile the priest clamped his hands together and nodded encouragingly. "You may kiss the bride."
A tear slid down her face and she choked a sob, dabbing beneath her eyes with a little white handkerchief. This was so romantic! The groom kissed his bride deeply, grinning afterwards rather stupidly, and kissed her again. The audience clapped their hands as the couple waved and together walked slowly out of the small church.
Seto gazed by his side to Serenity and furrowed his brows. Was she crying? Tilting his head his eyes observed the girl intently and indeed, a tear was making its way down her cheek. Oh no, what did he do wrong this time?
"Why are you crying?" He nudged her with his finger and she turned.
"Why not? This is so romantic!" She exclaimed sobbing and blew her nose briefly.
Seto handed her another handkerchief with a blank expression. "But doesn't that make you happy? Your brother's now officially married to the Harpy Lady."
"I am happy." She sniffed and blew her nose again, handing the handkerchief back to Seto. "That's why I'm crying!"
He glared at the offered item and raised an eyebrow before reluctantly stuffing it back into his pocket. "I don't understand that."
Serenity looked up at the CEO with the puzzled expression and sighed. "Never mind."
Still, Seto wasn't the brightest light on the Christmas tree when it came to things like showing emotions, but at least he tried. Linking her arm into his she smiled at him. "Let's go. I'm looking forward too see the wedding cake."
He nodded, guiding the girl out of the church. Other friends of Joey and Mai had already followed the newly wedded item and gathered in front of the church. Seto growled in dismay lowly, seeing the mutt and his wife climbing inside of his limousine. His! Why couldn't he decline any request of Serenity? Mokuba, of course, had fallen straight into his brother's back, exclaiming that it would be a nice gift to them, lending the limo.
At least Seto hadn't the burden of buying a gift anymore. Serenity waved at her brother and Mai as the car slowly began to move, honking on its way. The others would soon follow.
After Seto and Serenity had arrived the location for the wedding's celebration—a hotel at the far end of Domino chosen by Mai—Kaiba strolled after his girlfriend with his hands inside of his pockets, when his eyes fastened on her backside. For the bridesmaids Mai had chosen dresses in apricot and with a small smirk Kaiba was just mentally pointing out how well it suited his girlfriend.
The dress had a low cut down its backside and at the front was a simple neck holder for the silky material to stay in place. Although Seto certainly liked his girlfriend's very long hair, she gladly had it pulled up with little apricot flowers decorating her auburn hair. Last but not least, Seto decided as his eyes examined the lower backside—he owned the cutest ass around; that was for sure!
Property of Seto Kaiba. What would she say it he suggested to have a tattoo in her cute butt? Maybe she would be okay with the KC logo—two letters certainly won't hurt that much. He mentally snickered at the thought when he came to an abrupt halt, almost crashing into her.
Serenity had stopped in front of Joey and Mai, hugging her brother. "Congrats, Joey! I'm so happy for you! You're such a cute couple! I love you both!"
Seto suppressed the urge to roll his eyes at the scenery while Serenity stepped in front of Mai, hugging her as well but being careful not to step on her utterly white dress. Hypocrites. Either that or the mutt was simply a loser.
"Congrats Mai! You're such a beautiful bride!" Serenity told the blonde with a bright smile.
"Thanks, hun." The bride winked with a grin upon her lips. "I'm sure you'll be even more beautiful once you get married…someday."
A glare from Joey made Serenity almost flinch. "Take your time; don't rush anything, Serenity."
Joey turned his head at Kaiba, glaring at him from under bangs of slightly shorter hair after Mai had pressured him to at least visit a hairdresser before their wedding. Kaiba returned the glare with delight, stuffing his hands casually inside of his pockets. Mentally he cursed. He was next to congratulate the newly weds. Not that he wanted to!
"Mutt." Kaiba gave a curt nod.
"Moneybags." Joey nodded in response, his stare not faltering under Kaiba's.
"Nice wedding and…good luck."
Joey nodded his thank you and Seto turned to the bride who crossed her arms, waiting for Kaiba to say something challenging like usual.
"Wheeler." He said indicating that she had a new surname. "About time he married you. Congratulations."
Mai indeed smiled. She hadn't expected him to be that nice. And nice he was, considering that he usually was a jerk towards them. She guessed Serenity had some influence after all.
"Thank you, Kaiba." Mai smirked at the tall man, remembering that it had been quite a shock to Joey when his sister announced she would have Seto Kaiba as her company. "Nice having you here since you weren't even invited."
"I told you I would make sure of that." Slyly he added and stood aside when other quests followed.
The shock had hit Joey quite thunderously upon learning that Kaiba was Serenity's company. The question popping up immediately afterwards was 'why'. Looking innocent, she had commented casually that she was dating the CEO…by the way. Twenty minutes later Joey had been conscious again, just to wake with a really awkward headache.
Eventually, Joey decided that he couldn't do anything about it anyway and vowed to his sister to have an eye on Kaiba. That's the least and the only thing he was able to do. Thankfully, he had been busy with the wedding preparations—otherwise he might have gone ballistic.
Serenity smiled, seeing her brother. He had been tough for her and she loved him dearly.
"Congratulations Joey, you winner! You've got the most beautiful bride ever." Valon scratched his brown-haired head sheepishly. "Err…and thanks for inviting me!"
"You're welcome, dude!" Joey grinned.
"Whose idea was it to invite the freak gang?" Kaiba whispered and elbowed Serenity a little, observing the area with his eyes for any of Valon's weird buddies.
She shrugged a little helplessly. "No idea. I suppose Joey's… or Mai's. And who do you mean by freak gang?"
"Never mind." Seto turned to watch other guests chatting away with each other. Tea, who was standing with Yugi and his Grandpa at the side, waved at him but he just glared back at her, making her sweat-drop. Nearby Tristan Taylor was trying his best to glare daggers at the CEO. Kaiba had the sudden urge to smile at him.
Valon continued to give the bride compliments until he stepped aside, meeting an unknown face. "Oh, I don't know you. My name is Valon, are you related to Mai?"
Serenity sweat-dropped and blushed, shaking the brunette's hand as he reached for hers. "No, I…actually I'm Joey's sister."
"Oh, really? I never knew he had such a cute sister." Valon grinned. He stopped the moment he realized that someone else glared down on him.
Serenity followed the young man's stare to her boyfriend, who was glaring with a piercing, icy cold pair of blue eyes down on his rival. She swallowed frowning.
"You can let go of her hand now," Seto said between gritted teeth. Instinctively, Valon gulped and looked down at his hand, realizing he still held Serenity's. Pulling away quickly, he swallowed.
"Seto Kaiba, isn't it?" Valon had no clue why the CEO was glaring at him, but he believed in the rumors that the man was an ice block.
"Yes, but for you it's simply her boyfriend." Kaiba replied pulling Serenity close to him. She glared at him in response. She wasn't a child!
"I…I didn't know…honestly." Valon stammered and decided to leave—rather quickly.
Serenity raised an eyebrow at Seto. "Jealous?"
"Not when you'll finally have your tattoo." He smirked and kissed her forehead.
"What tattoo?" She frowned, then narrowed her eyes. "Seto Kaiba, tell me immediately what's on your mind? What kind of tattoo are you talking about?"
"Nothing. I'm going to tell you later." Seto replied and pulled her close for another kiss.
"Get a room!" A voice interrupted sharply as Kaiba groaned at the sight of a 'long missed' blonde girl. Rebecca Hawkins. He had 'loved' that kid from the beginning. She was such a smart ass.
"Got one! Let's go!" Mokuba chirped from behind and grinned at Rebecca whose eyes narrowed immediately. Rebecca blushed as she turned to see Mokuba—the other Kaiba—right behind her. She hadn't seen the boy in ages. Hell, he was a sight…better than when she was drooling over a picture of Gackt!
"Hey…" She stupidly waved.
Mokuba caught the waving hand and pulled it down gently to place a kiss upon the back. "Enchanté, Mademoiselle."
Seto laid his arm across Serenity's shoulders and pulled her closer. Just to be safe. His brother was a trustful, faithful soul but when it came to girls…Seto rather liked to have her by his side.
"Hey, everybody sit down please!" Joey suddenly yelled across the room in an ear-deafening manner. "It's time to cut the cake!"
Serenity sat down with Seto by her side, waiting for the newlyweds to cut the cake. She had become damn hungry for the meantime!
"Dear guests, dear family and friends," Joey started rather formally but grinned. "I want to start with a huge thank you to all of you for coming here…"
Seto mentally yawned already. The mutt was trying to speak to the audience—he should have just cut the cake and fine. But no, he wanted a speech. For all Seto cared; he wanted this day to be over. At least the afternoon would be a start. The mutt and his wife would fly into their honeymoons in the late hours today but Kaiba would stay here—with Serenity.
"…and that's how I started dating Mai…" Obviously Joey wasn't near finished with his speech.
Seto's head turned left, drawing an arm around Serenity from behind. He leant close to her ear and whispered: "Do you realize that tonight we'll share a room for the first time? A bed even…maybe."
The girl raised her eyebrows. Of course she knew! But Kaiba left her in wonderment once again like he did so often at the awkwardness of the situation and the moment he chose to point out something like this to her. She smiled to herself mischievously and laid her hand on his thigh.
"Yes, I know." She whispered sweetly, running her hand along his leg. "But don't jump into conclusions."
His eyes widened at her touch and furrowed at her comment. "I prefer calculations."
"That's even worse." She glared at her boyfriend, then realized that she had been quite loud because Joey was giving her a puzzled look. Serenity winked at her brother, smiling innocently. Once the guest's attention was all back to Joey, she glared at Kaiba.
"Do you calculate sleeping with me?" She hissed in a rough whisper.
"No, but now that you mention it…"
"Seto!" She tried to keep her voice low as she spoke through gritted teeth.
Quickly he kissed her to silence the little woman. "I love it when you're angry. Don't worry about tonight. I promise to behave."
Relieved she smiled and squeezed his hand before she paid her attention back to the words of her brother. Or she tried. Not that it hadn't crossed her mind that she would be alone with him for the first time—overnight. And they had made out often during the latest weeks. She could imagine…
No, no, no! Not now.Now was the time to think about her brother's wedding, not about anything else. By the way, what was Joey trying to tell them?
Seto leant down to her ear again. "But it isn't impossible, is it? There's still the chance that we might---"
"Just shut up!" She hissed louder than expected and heads snapped to look at her.
Joey blinked. Yes, his speech had been long so far but did she have to be that straightforward? He looked at her with raised eyebrows and a frown when she began blushing madly.
"No, no, no… I didn't mean you when I said… Joey? I'm sorry. Please…go on." Serenity's head sank. She growled watching Seto from the corner of her eyes.
"Well, where was I? Yes, when we have met again and this time…" The groom began and by this time even his wife rolled her eyes along with the guests, thinking that he should just cut the damn cake and stop babbling.
Seto sighed thoughtfully. He should ask Mokuba how to approach Serenity. Whatever Kaiba said seemed to be wrong while on the other hand, his little brother was already having a hand on the blonde witch's back, grazing her skin softly.
Seto had an urge to vomit. Mokuba had no taste.
But he was good.
With a frown Seto pondered whether to ask the raven-haired teen for his advice or not. Why had everything to be so difficult for him and for Mokuba so easy? He went along, said hello and had at least one more girl following him.
Serenity's eyes watched her boyfriend musing about his thoughts. She had come to know him more than anyone else, except for Mokuba, and she could imagine where his thoughts had drifted.
"Seto?"
"Hm?"
She gave a warm smile. "You know, of course I have thought about what you said. But I really don't want to think about it now. And you also shouldn't brood over it. Besides, Joey and Mai will be on their honeymoon for two whole weeks."
Two weeks. That meant fourteen days. That was three hundred and thirty-six hours. Or twenty thousand one hundred and sixty minutes. Which were one million two hundred nine thousand six hundred and sixty seconds. Hm…should be enough time!
Seto nodded understandingly in agreement. "You're right."
"By the way, we've got a life's time for everything." She tried to point out that she wanted to stay with him forever.
"Yes, but life can be over any day." He leant down to kiss her before she could respond. "Like your brother's. If he keeps ranting there your sister-in-law will throttle him. If the guests aren't faster, that is."
Serenity shifted her eyes to Joey, who was speaking of how he had proposed to Mai. Worriedly she glanced at the bride who glared at the groom.
"I've never even dreamt of Mai saying yes when…" Joey stopped when Tea run her index finger along her throat, indicating for him that he should finally stop talking. He swallowed glancing down at Mai who smiled uneasily and pulled him down.
"I think you should cut the cake now, honey." She whispered and nodded reassuring him when he raised his brows questioning.
Taking the knife Joey grinned. "Err…well, eat and drink as much as you can!"
Everyone clapped their hands at his comment and smiled, relieved that finally they could still their growing hunger. Serenity quickly jumped to get some cake, almost stumbling over Mokuba who had been nearly quicker—but only nearly. What was that with those Wheelers and running for food?
Seto excused himself and went onto the veranda, inhaling the air deep inside his lungs. He would like to inhale other things, but thanks to Serenity, to whom he had vowed not to smoke anymore, he had no cigarettes. Six weeks had passed since his first date with Serenity and he did not regret one single second spent with her.
How strange. That was all he ever wanted. But he had wanted it just for the fact that he wanted it. How was he supposed to know that love wasn't a matter of want? If it was, had he wanted Serenity? No…he supposed not. And now here he was, on the mutt's wedding with the world's sexiest girl alive!
Seto looked down at his feet. The thoughts he had! Diseased, he would have said weeks ago. But if love was a disease then he wouldn't even want to be cured. His eyes drifted to the mass of people inside the room. Serenity was obviously enjoying herself, the wedding and of course the cake. With a deep breath he strolled back inside. He didn't want to leave her alone too long between all those nerds and geeks!
Time passed by quickly. During dinner time Seto tried to stay sober as people started to drink wine and other, stronger drinks provided by the bride and the groom. He did still hate alcohol and with Duke Devlin next to him getting drunk pretty fast, he cursed mentally every time the 'poof' touched him.
"Did you know, Kaiba, that I've always wanted to be Serenity's first?" Duke giggled as he laid a hand upon Kaiba's shoulder, who raised a disapproving eyebrow, glaring the hand down—if that was even possible.
"You should have lived in reality in the first place." Seto replied dully once again. His remarks hadn't worked so far and Devlin didn't seem to get it. Kaiba was annoyed, yet, he tried to ignore the dice-dude for Serenity's sake.
"There would have been a chance if…" Duke trailed off, staring at the girl of his desire, who was talking with Tea across the room.
Kaiba could swear that Devlin was drooling. He closed his eyes briefly. It was disgusting and sickening to him to great extent. He didn't even want to think of what exactly the raven-haired 'beauty-queen' was talking about. Serenity's first mistake he could have been but nothing else and if he kept ranting about things like that, Seto was sure, he would soon puke all over him.
"Hey Kaiba," Duke inched closer and secretively ducked his head, looking like a spy on a mission. "Tell me, have you already seen her naked?"
"Excuse me," Kaiba stood to his whole six foot one, gladly missing the question of Duke. He hadn't listened but desperately tried to suppress the urge to scream instead. With no further comment he went, where, he didn't know—as far away as possible from the dicey-boy, he supposed.
Serenity sipped from her glass of wine and smiled as Tea told another tale of Yugi and how he beat another idiot that dared to challenge him.
"Ah, enough of Yugi and me now," Tea exclaimed and darted her eyes upon Serenity. "How are things going between you and Kaiba? I admit, with dating him you've put us all in quite a shock, not only poor Joey."
"He'll live. And you will too." Serenity grinned and shrugged. How she hated to explain herself for dating the CEO! "We can't complain."
"You're not giving away much, darling." Mai cut in and poked Serenity's ribs, resulting in a glare from the younger woman. "Oh, so he's been tutoring you in the infamous glare, huh?"
"Uh, Mai, will you stop that?" The smallest of the women pouted. Mai always used to tease her about Kaiba but not in a bad way. At least Mai wasn't pressuring her to tell anything too private and Serenity was grateful for that. "I just don't know what to tell you."
"God," Tea rolled her eyes at the comment. "Everything! Do you love him? Does he tell you he loves you? How often? Is he generous towards you? Can he kiss? Or does he suck? Does he wear boxers or briefs? Does he have weird habits we don't know so far? Does he snore maybe? C'mon Serenity, there must be something to tell us!"
Serenity frowned, thinking. "I…he…well…no!" She shook her head almost violently. With her face glowing red like fire, she stomped her foot. "I won't tell you something like that!"
"She loves him." Tea stated dryly and nodded at Mai, who did as well.
"Yes, she loves him." The other woman agreed and Serenity turned even redder than before!
"Who does she love?" They were interrupted by the topic of their conversation who gazed at the women with the usual cold, blank and indifferent look he wore most of the time.
Tea laughed nervously and winked while Mai was shrugging and starting to whistle a senseless tune.
"There! Haha! Joey! I think he needs my help with…err…something." Mai's sudden excuse made Tea sweat-drop and flush in slight anger before she was left to watch the bride escape quickly. The blue-eyed girl looked around in panic.
"I think I saw Yugi over there." Kaiba sneered realizing she was only looking for an excuse to leave as well. Not that he minded.
"My…oh…err…'Bye!"
They pair watched Tea disappear quickly through the crowds, then gazed at each other. Kaiba did not waste any time as he wrapped his arms around the girl's waist and bend down to whisper into her ear closely. "Dance with me."
"I thought you'd never ask." Serenity smiled at his request and let herself be guided to the dance floor, putting her hands on his shoulders.
Kaiba smirked a little and looked down at her. "So, you love me?"
"You know I do." She responded with a chuckle.
"I just like to hear you say it, over and over again." Purposefully he let his fingertips wander from her lower back up her spine. "Say it again."
Serenity giggled at his demeanor and rolled her eyes. "I love you."
"Again."
"I love you."
"One more time."
"I love you."
After the third time Serenity shouldn't have to repeat it again as she found his lips pressed against hers instead, joining them in a loving kiss. Involuntarily her arms wrapped themselves around his neck, her fingers slowly creeping up within his hair. Seto pulled her closer, pressing her hips against him as his mouth slowly roamed to kiss her neck, stopping there.
"I love you, Serenity." His lips emitted the words as his voice nearly cracked, not being used to apply these words often. Nevertheless, during the last six weeks he had said them more often than in his entire life at all.
She released a sigh of bliss as she wrapped her arms tightly around him, embracing the man closely. Words were not necessary. He understood her.
"Hey!" Mai's voice broke their embrace and they looked at the newlyweds. "I'm afraid it's getting late and Joey and I have to catch a plane."
"Yes, it's about time we leave you to yourselves." Joey added and pulled his bride closer to him, pecking her cheek.
"There's only one thing left to do. So if you'd be kind and follow us outside…" Mai gave a wicked grin and gestured with her bride's bouquet.
Serenity sighed, realizing the evening was almost over. Guests were wishing the couple of the day all the best, a fantastic honeymoon, thanking them and saying their goodbyes for the evening. So this had been the day when her brother had married the love of his life. Would Serenity's day be as wonderful as this had been? Maybe even better? Worse? Was Seto the man she would marry?
If he asked her right now she'd say yes! She was a hopeless romantic…
Gazing up at him she smiled. "I'm going to tell them goodbye."
Seto nodded and followed her slowly outside where the couple was already in front of the limousine, still shaking hands with their friends, receiving best wishes and hugs. It took Serenity time to finally approach her family.
"Serenity!" Joey exclaimed the moment he saw her in front of him and wrinkles exposed on his forehead as he frowned. "Take care when we're gone. Don't let anyone inside the apartment—not even Kaiba. You haven't known him long enough."
The girl rolled her eyes as Joey continued. "I've called Mrs. Sparrow from next door and told her to look in on you once or twice. You can even eat dinner with her, she told me. Don't stay out long in the evening---"
"Joey! Will you stop that now?" Serenity shivered by the thought of dining with Mrs. Sparrow. The old witch from next door was a scheming spy, who would tell Joey the exact time Serenity would leave and come back, either with Kaiba or not, or even someone else. "I can take care of myself."
"But—"
"Ah Joseph, she's right. Serenity's not a little kid anymore." Mai stood up for Serenity and nodded reassuringly when Joey raised a suspicious eyebrow. "I'm sure she'll handle being without us pretty well."
"Fine. If you say so." Joey spread out his arms and grabbed his younger sister to hug her tightly. "Take care, little sis."
"I will. Have a nice honeymoon, Joey." Serenity stepped back with a grin and winked. "Make sure I'll be auntie Renny soon!"
For a moment Joey stood there dumbfounded until he realized what his sister had been talking about. Sheepishly he scratched the back of his head and grinned, blushing even. Serenity hugged Mai goodbye and wished her a wonderful honeymoon as well, telling her to take care of Joey.
"Now, before we finally leave…" Mai spoke up louder to the audience waiting outside. "…I've got one more thing to do. Girls and women, get together!"
"Oh, she's going to throw the bride's bouquet!" Serenity grinned and raced to the group of women waiting impatiently to catch the prize.
Kaiba watched with interest. Part of him didn't like games like these, not believing in old sayings or traditions. But another part of him wanted her to catch the damn bouquet. For one, she believed in sayings. And second, he'd like her to be the winner over the other random look-like-nothing chicks.
All eyes were fixed on the flying bouquet after Mai had thrown it high in the air. It flew up, then as if hesitating it seemed stuck in the air for a moment before it finally came down. Tea seemed to have to longest arms as she stretched and was about to touch the prize she yearned to gain. Unfortunately a fingernail broke at the contact and she flinched, resulting in the bouquet falling straight into Rebecca Hawkins' hands. The young blonde shrieked upon seeing that she had caught the 'evil' bouquet and threw it straight away! No way was she going to get married—ever.
Serenity suddenly found herself suddenly with the bride's bouquet in her hands. How it had gotten there she didn't even know. But she shrugged and smiled, shifting her gaze to look at Seto. Hey, after all she had it, hadn't she?
Kaiba tilted his head to the side and raised one eyebrow slowly. If nobody disqualified her she was the winner. A satisfied grin spread upon his face by the thought. Yes, she was in his team! The victory belonged to them! Haha! Yugi, your team lost! LOSER…
"Earth to Seto!" Mokuba waved a hand in front of his brother's face until the mentioned one blinked.
"What?"
"Seems like you've got to marry Serenity, ha-ha!" Mokuba laughed until suddenly he stopped and gazed irritated to his brother, scratching his head in contemplation. "Err…I've got to talk to Becs though."
"Becs?" Who the hell was Becs? And what kind of name was Becs? Seto sent his brother a weird look of questioning. Becs wasn't a guy, was it?
"Yeah, Becs. RE-BEC-CA! Or just…Becs." Mokuba shrugged, leaving the CEO staring behind as the younger Kaiba wanted to have a word with the blonde devil in disguise.
Rubbing the bridge of his nose Seto tried to focus on what was important. Ah, yes! Serenity! Where was she? He spotted her not so far away, waving at her brother who was climbing with his wife into the limousine. Only seconds later they were gone, no Wheeler left apart from Seto's very own!
"Hey, look. I caught the bride's bouquet." She smiled as she approached him.
"I knew we would win!" Kaiba laughed haughtily and rubbed his palms together.
"We?" Serenity tipped his nose and he snapped out of his stupor, focusing on his girlfriend.
"Yes, you and I. We're in the same team. Remember?" He drew his arm around her shoulder but she just shook her head at him and laughed.
"Yeah, I guess we're a team." She slipped her hand into his and pulled him along, licking her lips already. "Let's go back inside. I believe there's some of the ice-cream bomb left in the freezer."
"I'll see to the whipped cream." Bleakly the words escaped his mouth as they held their hint.
While the quests slowly vanished and the room became empty Serenity and Seto didn't even realize. He sat on the kitchen floor, leaning against the counter, next to him the left-overs from their ice-cream attack while she was sitting opposite him with her legs crossed and her back against the fridge, sighing blissfully.
"I'm impressed you could take that much," he said and smirked.
"Me? I'm impressed you didn't give up after the third round." She smacked his foot playfully with her own.
"Giving up isn't an option for me. But I admit, I feel just a bit sick now." He snorted and leant his head back, taking a deep breath.
"I told you not to take too much of the whipped cream. Three portions of ice-cream isn't that bad, but whipped cream always makes me feel sick." Serenity stretched lazily before she crawled over to kneel in front of her boyfriend. "How sick are you exactly?"
"Depends." His hands encircled her waist.
"Too sick to kiss me?" She pouted but he answered her question sooner than expected with his lips upon hers.
Deepening their kiss none of them had the willpower to break their connection when Seto pulled them up together. Easily he lifted her from off the ground and led them towards the door, breaking the kiss only to look at her with a small twist of his lips.
"To our chamber, please." Serenity grinned, running her fingers through his hair.
"I'm going to get our jackets." Kaiba released the girl hesitantly and let her down on her feet before he went to the closet down the corridor. Serenity shuffled her feet waiting as Seto pulled the closet's door open and stopped dead in his tracks, eyes wide, then glaring.
"What wrong?" Crossing the distance Serenity tried to look past her tall-grown boyfriend. "Oh my…hallelujah!"
Within coats and jackets there was Mokuba snogging some certain blonde!
Tapping his fingers impatiently against the wooden door Seto scowled, watching the scenario in front of him. Finally the point of his attention realized their stalkers and looked up with a grin.
"What?" Mokuba asked, not even releasing the flushed looking girl.
"Would it be too much to ask for you pass our jackets from out of the closet?" Seto requested emotionlessly.
"Err…well, do want me to be nice or honest?" The younger Kaiba emitted in a slightly mischievous tone, making his brother roll his eyes.
"Forget it!" Seto slammed the door shut and turned to Serenity. "See what I mean?"
Laughing she took his hand and pulled him along down the corridor. "You're just envious we didn't come up with the idea to make out in the closet."
"Would you?" the question shot at Serenity. He stared at her with hope in his eyes as they kept on walking until they had reached their room.
"We don't need the closet." She slipped the key into the hole and unlocked the door.
A grin spread upon Seto's lips before he captured hers in another kiss, taking her by surprise. She yelped as he lifted her again, shutting the door with a kick on his foot, and carried her over to the bed, where he laid her down. Not even giving her the chance to break their kiss Seto climbed on top of her and began trailing kisses down her neck, making her gasp.
Out of the blue, he stopped and threw himself on his back with his head on the pillow. Seto took her small hand and pulled her within his arms, kissing the top of her head.
"Funny how things can turn out." He spoke as if in deep thought and Serenity looked up at him.
"You're talking about us?"
"Sure."
"Yeah, but good." She yawned and rested her head on his chest.
Kaiba stared at the ceiling for a few minutes, listening to her breathing, which became steadier with every passing second. She would soon fall asleep. Closing his eyes he stifled a yawn.
He was not lonely anymore. Who was to know?
