Seto really felt down. Sure his façade was still on but he was really good at hiding what he really felt inside. He was now in his "work room" inside the Kaiba Mansion. He was really looking blankly at his laptop screen. He finished all of the work that he had to do beforehand. (Even before he went to the Kame Game shop) so he was not really doing anything anymore. He had also hired a new batch of more of more capable employees and advisers so his workload has been lessened considerably. Now, he even had the times to play online games. Not that he enjoyed them, mind you. He just liked to critic the graphics, and plot of the game. (if it had any). But now Seto was too distracted to really do anything. He just so down that he felt like eating a whole tub of ice cream. Maybe even two…

He was brought out of his stupor by a sudden…

"You've got mail." From his computer.

[Must be my book order.] Seto mused. A little relieved that he still has another form of distraction from his current predicament.

Mokuba had been playing video games when his older brother had arrived home. True he was already in college [1] but as his older brother had said,

"Old habits die hard."

He chuckled at the memory but then he remembered something… he wasn't even acknowledged…or noticed even. If he was the Mokuba years ago, he would have thrown a hissy fit and demanded what was wrong. But now he was older and wiser. He knew what was wrong with his brother. He was either dumped hard or he had discovered that the one he was wooing already had someone else. Knowing that Jou was not the kind of person who dumped suitors hard, he decided on sticking to his second theory. But that one was also kinda vague. He knew that Jou was not seeing anyone at the moment… but who knows right?

But that would be just unfair for his older brother…right? Seto had a crush on Jou since high school. It wasn't his fault that the people in the business world liked diplomas from the U.S.[2] better. And lastly, his older brother saw Jou first damnit!! He knew he was thinking like a child but he knew that if things would play out right, his brother would be able to acquire something that he really wanted. And it would also make his older brother happy. He needed to win Jou from whoever his rival is. He had to think of a way to boost up his brother's confidence and bring out his fighting spirit.

[Hhmmm… I think I have the right thing somewhere in my bag. I just hope that it's still there…]

The rich CEO opened his mail. To his surprise, it wasn't about the books he had ordered. It was from his younger brother.

[Now what could this be?] he mused as he clicked on the open icon. It looked like a poem of some kind so he decided to read it.

It said…

When you find yourself in love with someone who can't love you back because he has someone else….

Don't worry or cry too much…

Just close your eyes and say…

"Damnit! They don't even look good together.[3]

Seto blinked at the screen. Then he blinked again to reread the lines. Then he laughed. Not his evil cynical laugh. It was a real laugh. Mokuba was really a good little brother…helpful too. The words in the letter, poem or whatever were really a good help to lighten up his load.

Meanwhile downstairs. Mokuba heard his brother laugh and he knew that his plan had worked.

Let's just say that I the story timeline, he's already in college `coz I'm not sure how old he will be…

I'm not sure where Domino is. But I think it's in Japan or smoething.

Someone sent me this message. It made me laugh so hard I nearly fell off my chair. It was written in another language though.
