Happy Boss's Day Kaiba!!

[kcrighthand]

[Err....] A Western holiday, I assure you. Seto-sama hardly needs the reassurance. [For Isono is sure he knows what a great boss he is.

Not that literally anyone else working for Kaiba Corporation would say so.] Or the time sink. [Because Kaiba is a very busy man.] Or the garbage-

[Because the cards. Maybe Isono thinks about getting Kaiba one every now and again. -...WAIT-] -I don't want mail room duty again... [Throwing out all that fanmail\holiday mail for Kaiba is hard work.]

Isono.

*He can see those things in the brackets, and he's secretly happy with the sentiments! Not that he'll say a thing about it. He has a image to keep, even if he's older (and a touch gentler) than Isono probably remembers. Timeskips and all that.*

With all those ideas, are you telling me that you're bored? *Okay, see that? Smirking right now.*

[kcrighthand]

Seto-sama! [A respectful bow.] Bored? Never, sir! [Never, ever, ever.] There's more than enough work to be done. And little time to do it. [As always, at the Corporation.

...]

...if I were able to, that is. [Being removed from Kaiba Corporation and work is hard on him. He barely knows what to do with himself.]

[rulesdragons]

Mm. The way this place functions is certainly problematic. *It feels like he can never get any actual work done.*

In this moment, my words are not to reach anyone else's ears:

*He gives Isono a firm look, but he knows he'll keep his end of this bargain.*

It's good to see you.

[kcrighthand]

[SHOCK.

SURPRISE.]

S-Seto-sama... [Don't do it old man.... He holds back any extra excitement at the compliment.] It's good to see you, as well. [Hold back the tears!]

[rulesdragons]

...Heh.

*The reaction amuses him, and he'll pretend not to notice his excitement. And the possible tears.*

Keep it in your memory, because I'm not repeating myself.

[kcrighthand]

O-of course! [Forever and ever and ever and ever and on bad days he will think of this! And it will get him through!!]

[kaiba_corp_vp]

[Yeah, sorry, Isono, but someone's giggling at you.]

[kcrighthand]

Ah... Mokuba-Sama... [Way to make him feel like a moron!!!]

[kaiba_corp_vp]

[Oh, come on, Isono, he's amused.]

Maybe just make sure he has extra coffee, Isono. That's usually a good way to stay on his good side.

[And continue being Isono for them. But Mokuba won't say that.]

[kcrighthand]

I don't think I've had a night with the machine turned off. [Or day. Coffee 24/7. That's Seto's diet.] But you are just as deserving of praise. [You are, after all, his boss too. Also the nicer one. Even though he loves you both dearly. And would never dare say such a thing.]

[kaiba_corp_vp]

[You did make sure he ate something too, right? The last thing Mokuba needs and/or wants is Seto passing out because he believes CEOs can live on coffee diet alone.]

Now, see, you're just saying that to be nice.

[He's grinning though. Thanks, Isono, he really does appreciate it.]

[kcrighthand]

[Have a little faith, young Kaiba. He's been looking after the two of you for years and years now.]

I make it a habit not to say things that I don't mean. [He loves you kids. Come on.]

[kaiba_corp_vp]

Yeah, I know.

[And he appreciates it. It takes a special kind of person to work for his brother and he knows it.]

Thanks.

[shutupandduelme]

Isono. What do you think you're doing?

[kcrighthand]

-!! [ERK.] ....unfortunately having to respond to the whims of this person like I might one of your more rabid fans. [Dab. Dab. He's sweating.]

[shutupandduelme]

[He better be sweating. Mr. President doesn't look happy.]

I don't recall giving you permission to waste time on her. It just enables the behavior.

[kcrighthand]

[Gh...]

Of course not, Seto-sama. [DEEP BOW!] If only you could order her to listen. [He wishes.]

[shutupandduelme]

Tch. That would require a brain cell or two. If she's got you looking up obscure American holidays, it's not likely she has them.

[kcrighthand]

I would never waste time on research of that nature, I assure you. She just simply alerted me, to it.

[shutupandduelme]

She did more than that. Why is there a card on my desk, Isono?

[kcrighthand]

I-! [WHY HIM.] I apologize greatly! [Have another bow. He won't make excuses. Like. She distracted me. Or. She did it. Obviously I have nothing to do with this, I know better. Excuses are just pathetic.] I will make it up to you!

[shutupandduelme]

The mistake should never even have been made.

[kcrighthand]

I know- you're right. [Always right!!] Absolutely right. It will never happen again. I will work mail duty for as long as is required! [UGH MAIL DUTY......]

[shutupandduelme]

The 25th sounds like a good day for it.

[kcrighthand]

[Noooooooooooooooo.......] Y..yes. Seto-sama. [Nnnnnnnooooooooooooooooooooooooo.] I'll get someone else to watch the top floor, for you. [The secretaries weren't nearly as good at keeping out nuisances spiky haired ones? out of Kaiba's office on his birthday as security was. Obviously.]

[shutupandduelme]

Hn. Take some chocolate into the mail room with you. That's as good of a delaying tactic as anything.

[Even security's track record on keeping out that nuisance isn't great.]

[kcrighthand]

[Isono's laugh is mild.] It will only upset him. He's very particular about second-hand chocolate.. [Ah. Err.....

!!!!] But if that's what you wish, it will be done.

[shutupandduelme]

Let him be upset. He won't notice if you lock the door then.

Surely you can put up with him for a while?

[kcrighthand]

[Birthday mailroom duty and babysitting. Awesome. Oh Seto-sama.......] As long as you need.

[shutupandduelme]

Good.

[Meanwhile this card is going to go...elsewhere.]

[kcrighthand]

[He just bows respectfully. Because that's what good employees do. He's just glad to see Seto-sama is doing alright. That's all he could ever ask for.

Even if he gets stuck with the fan cards and nuisance babysitting.]
