Because I haven't done anything with him in awhile

[kaiba_corp_vp]

Hey, Mun.

You didn't think I was going to let you forget I was here, did you? Come one, you should let me out every once in awhile. At least let me have a video game or something? It's boring in here.

Oh! I know! Let me talk to nii-sama. You can do that, right?

It's really a shame when your mun forgets you, yeah? It's like forgetting a child.

[kaiba_corp_vp]

I'm not gonna let her forget me. Even if I have to start banging some drums or something.

[no78921]

You're a fiesty young boy! Warms my heart.

[kaiba_corp_vp]

[He really hopes you don't mean that in a creepy way, since, well... he has dealt with Pegasus J. Crawford before.]

Well, I find that the more annoying I am, the more she's likely to pay attention to me.

[note_atem]

Wherever you are, your brother shouldn't be too far behind.

[kaiba_corp_vp]

But Atem. I haven't gotten a chance to talk to him in forever!

[note_atem]

Our muns often aren't the most fair. But I'm sure he'll be around shortly.

[kaiba_corp_vp]

I hope so. I'm not sure I still have the "NII-SAMA" flag around here to wave.

[He's.... mostly kidding about that. Really.]

[shutupandduelme]

No one else gets to decide that.

[kaiba_corp_vp]

Nii-sama!

[Sorry, Seto, have a pint-sized kid bro coming your way.]

[shutupandduelme]

Mokuba.

[He's as ready for it as anyone can be. Knees are locked and ready for any incoming leg hugs.]

[kaiba_corp_vp]

[Good thing too, because he's coming with the force of a mini Blue Eyes jet.]

I missed you, Nii-sama.

[shutupandduelme]

[Oof. Even Kaiba has to steady himself after that impact.]

Hn. Did you really think I was far? No mere mun is going to keep Kaiba Seto from reaching his brother.

[kaiba_corp_vp]

[Success!]

Of course not. But I still missed you. We haven't talked in forever.

[shutupandduelme]

It isn't a bad thing for you to lay low for the moment. It will spare you from unnecessary stupidity.

[kaiba_corp_vp]

....

Stupidity...? Do I even want to know what your mun has been doing, Nii-sama?

[shutupandduelme]

...Hn. [Absolutely not. Nothing for curious little brothers here.]

I will get you that video game.

[kaiba_corp_vp]

[He eyes his brother at that 'hn'. So telling, without being telling at all.]

So, no. You realize that I'm going to assume that whatever's been going on, it was bad, don't you?

Oh, I didn't doubt that for a second.

[shutupandduelme]

I don't know why it would concern you in the first place. I can handle it. It's you I am worried about.

[kaiba_corp_vp]

Because you're my nii-sama?

[He feels like he should be adding a 'duh' in here, but he refrains. He doesn't want to push his brother's limits after all.]

<3!!

[rulesdragons]

*Even though Kaiba here is from a future time - about ten years more or so - Mokuba is still Mokuba to him no matter what.*

Hey. *He smiles at his brother and gives him a gentle hair ruffle.* You shrunk last time I saw you. *In his AU'd canon anyway, you're much older, Mokuba! And taller.*

<3!!!

[kaiba_corp_vp]

[He grins and gives the other a hug, before pulling away to look up at him.]

You look older, nii-sama.

[He'll get there someday!]

[rulesdragons]

Separate timelines, unfortunately. I'm twenty-six, though my mun has had me around for at least three years now.

*He moves to get closer to Mokuba's eye level so he can actually hug him back, properly. Because he wanted to, that's why.*

I'm... glad that you look well. *Besides, there's no one else but them.*

[kaiba_corp_vp]

[He nods.]

Really? What has your mun been doing with you?

[He returns the hug, wrapping his arms around the other and hugging tightly.]

Mmm. I haven't gotten kidnapped in forever!

Me too.

[rulesdragons]

I've been mostly in... shipping scenarios. My mun is friends with someone who houses Pegasus in her head. And.. another who has Atem there. *He gestures up-thread.*

I've gotten a little... complacent, honestly. It's... kind of nice. If you'll believe that. *It's not that his inner fire has gone out, or anything.*

[kaiba_corp_vp]

[A pause. Wait a sec. Shipping? isn't that when--]

Your mun is 'shipping' you with Pegasus?

[That's kind of... well, he's not sure. He supposed it depends on the Pegasus.]

Are you happy? [Because that's the most important thing to him - that his big brother is happy.]

My apologies for the wait. :(

[rulesdragons]

*The first question gets a bit of a nod, and he pauses at the second one. 'Is he happy'?*

...Yes.

*He looks somewhat... guilty, though. He still remembers what was done when Pegasus had the Eye. While he has forgiven, and not forgotten, Mokuba's opinion matters to him.*

Are you alright with that? With who it is?

that's okay, stuff happened on my end too. :(

[kaiba_corp_vp]

As long as you're happy, Nii-sama. That's all that matters to me.

[He hasn't forgotten either, but... the times he's dealt with Pegasus, at least here, haven't been so bad.]

[02_roadarolla]

I know the feeling kid! Some mundanes just don't think of us and OUR needs. So selfish!

[kaiba_corp_vp]

I know. Honestly, she could at least let me like once a month or something, but noooooo.

[02_roadarolla]

They force us to do stupid things and don't even ask us how we feel about it. Imagine how they would respond if someone just said to them one day 'Oh hey I like you, I'm going to kidnap you and force you to do things.' I bet they'd run away in a heart beat!

[kaiba_corp_vp]

Well, I'm used the kidnapping thing, but seriously. At least ask me first before you send me somewhere.

... although the spaceship was kinda awesome, I have to admit.

[02_roadarolla]

You're used to being kidnapped?!

[Wait]

They sent you on a spaceship?! That's so unfair! I would have loved to go into space!

[kaiba_corp_vp]

Yeah. It kinda happens a lot.

Yeah. It was a spaceship where you got a fish in your ear and strange things happened all the time. I enjoyed it, to be honest.

[02_roadarolla]

That sounds awesome! You're lucky to have gotten to go anywhere!

[kaiba_corp_vp]

I know! And I even had my brother and some friends there, it was great.

Even with the attempted kidnapping.

[02_roadarolla]

Man you're like some sort of princess to always get kidnapped like that!

[kaiba_corp_vp]

Don't remind me! That dress was uncomfortable.

[02_roadarolla]

The made you cross dress too?

[kaiba_corp_vp]

I got stuck in a princess dress when the drive activated. That's the device that caused strange stuff to happen on the ship. And there were singing woodland creatures and everything.

... it was really really weird.

[blueyesfanboy]

Mokuba...

[He folds his arms, looking just a bit annoyed beneath his usual cold exterior.]

You're not the only one whose "mun" has nearly forgotten them.

[kaiba_corp_vp]

But - but - how could anyone forget you, nii-sama!?

[blueyesfanboy]

[Pat pat, there there, Mokuba. Nii-sama would never forget himself, or you.]

An insipid fool, who else? Anybody foolish enough to try and "roleplay" me in a slice of life setting clearly didn't know what they were getting into.

Hm... [He leers elsewhere.] As if I would ever just sit idly by, knowing you and my company were elsewhere.

[kaiba_corp_vp]

No, you're better suited for places where you can rise to the top. I think slice of life would be too boring.

[Especially if there was no Duel Monsters to pass the time with.]

Of course not, Nii-sama, I know you would always come for me.

[blueyesfanboy]

That would have been better by comparison, but it's still nothing more than nuisance to me. I severely doubt she knows any places like that anyway.

[Just gonna keep insulting everybody's intelligence who isn't him or Mokuba because he's SETO KAIBA.

He hasn't spoken to Mokuba in a long time, though...]

If I could take you with me, I would.

[How irritating! To be without his power and influence is infuriating, not to mention distressing. After everything he worked for, it didn't matter in a place like this.]

[kaiba_corp_vp]

I'm sure there has to be a place out there somewhere.

[Except he doesn't know of any, darn it.]

I know, but at least we can talk here, right? I mean, it's not home or Kaiba Corp or anything like that, but it's still a place where we can meet.

[blueyesfanboy]

I'm more than willing to find one, however, I'm not the problem.

[Shaking his head, he continues.] Stooping to something less than our ideal...hm! It's pathetic.

[He closes his eyes, sighing.] ...But even I'll make an exception if it means talking with you. This place is meaningless drivel...but we can't expecting to get anywhere if we don't start somewhere.

[kaiba_corp_vp]

[A nod.]

And we're Kaibas, we always overcome anything thrown in our way.

[Don't mind him as he takes a couple of steps closer. He doesn't care where he is, as long as he's with his beloved nii-sama. That's all that matters to him.]
