[ heh. ]

[ he doesn't ruin the moment and just scrolls to another memory ::

( this one takes place it kaiba corp. specifically seto's office. seto's parked behind his desk, fingers deftly moving across his keyboard, the dim light of the monitor one of two things glowing in the ( otherwise ) dark room. mokuba is lounging on the couch with a tablet in hand, reading through reports and doing his best not to yawn too much or too loudly. seto occasionally looks over at him, though he never ( not once ) stops typing. )

Seto: If you're tired-

Mokuba: I'm not tired.

Seto: ... ( and though mokuba can't see his face well from where he is he just know his brother's got some smug smile on. he can even hear it when he says, ) You're not tired. ( he's not the only one capable of working super duper late, ok! he can too!! )

Mokuba: *No*, I'm *not*.

( the room falls ( mostly ) silent again, though mokuba is very clearly starting to nod off on the couch. he ends up smacking himself in the face with the table, something he immediately tries to pass off as an accident, but he turns his back to seto to curl up on the couch like he's going to continue reading. he's not. he's asleep in a few short minutes, something seto seems to realize instantly. the memory gets a bit weird after that, probably because mokuba's asleep... but it cuts out and cuts back in with seto carrying him through the lobby and out to a car, isono waiting for them. cutting out and back in again has him snuggling into seto in the car, with his older brother draping an arm around him as isono spares them a glance in the rear view mirror. finally, it happens once more, with mokuba reaching out to seto once he's been carefully tucked in bed. )

Mokuba: Not... not tired...

Seto: No, you weren't tired, you were exhausted.

Mokuba: ( he gives him a lopsided smile. ) Night Seto.

Seto: Goodnight Mokuba. ]

Oh]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[And suddenly Intensity has zero understanding of why anyone would want to relive pleasant memories?

Don't they hurt more than the awful ones?

This one---




This one will haunt him more than all of the other memories combined.

But his only physically response to it is to hold Mokuba tighter, maybe tight enough so that he can't even navigate to any more memories]

[bluescreenspiritdragon]

oof, [ and there goes the phone. he tries to reach for it, but his brother is holding him real tight. ] Hey, ah, Seto... I can't get it [ mokuba tries to reach for it, but, yeah, this isn't going to work. ] My phone. It's just out of... [ he looks back at him, because it's like he's actively trying to... oh. ]

Seto?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Rests his forehead against Mokuba's shoulder]

I missed you. Mokuba.

[bluescreenspiritdragon]

[ mokuba leans his head into seto's and reaches up to brush a few fingers through his hair. ]

I missed you too, Seto, more than anything.

1/2

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Just let him stay like this for a few moments]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Before he reaches down to pick up the dropped phone. And also release the death grip on his younger brother]

You were going to show me something else.

[bluescreenspiritdragon]

[ he can. mokuba's in no rush to move away. ]

[ as soon as seto releases his grip mokuba turns and kind of resumes it on his brother. ] It was the both of us playing video games, but... I don't have to show that to you, not when we can just do that here. [ he smiles, hopeful. ] We can make a new memory, right here, right now, ...well, maybe not this second, because I don't really feel like moving just yet, but you know what I mean. [ now it's his turn to squeeze seto for all he's worth. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Well then, he pockets the phone for now as he is much more interested in holding Mokuba close to him.]

The park has some games.

Not very good ones though. It's like an amateur designed this whole place.

[Besides the Ferris Wheel. And one of the roller coasters. They can stay]

[bluescreenspiritdragon]

I’m not surprised. [ he peers out the window. ] And that’s probably because it was. [ laughs. ] Just look at the layout, and the ride selection, and don’t even get me started on their mascot?

If this is all we got, then we’ll make do. The most important part is that I’m playing them with you, Seto.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Hn. Is that so?

[He'll turn Mokuba back towards him so he can fuss with the scarf, making sure it's tight and covering most of his neck.]

Then put your gloves back on. We're going out.

[bluescreenspiritdragon]

[ he's going to fish into his pockets for his gloves, putting them on as seto fusses with his scarf. ]

I hope you're ready to go down, Seto.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

One hundred years too early for beating me, Mokuba.

[And he looks out over the theme park, which has been sitting at the very tippy top of this Ferris Wheel the whole. What's a little more abuse of Fin powers?]

Hold on tight to something.

[bluescreenspiritdragon]

Ha! we'll see about that.

[ grabbing onto the rail that lines the inside of the car he nods at his brother. ]

Ready!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Ever experienced the weightlessness of having a Ferris Wheel move at three times it's intended speed.

Well.

Now Mokuba has]

[bluescreenspiritdragon]

[ no, but it iS AWESOME. ]

[ he is going to yell his excitement the entire time, changing his stance to something wider as he grips the rail while the ferris wheel moves. ]

Hahahahahaha. We should do this with one of the roller coasters!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

We could race one of the roller coasters with Blue Eyes.

[bluescreenspiritdragon]

Let's do it.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Scoops up Mokuba in his arms once the ride has come to an abrupt stop at the bottom. Watch your step]

How did I know you'd be up for that?

[bluescreenspiritdragon]

You know me like the back of your hand, Seto.

This is going to be SO cool.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[And before they even get two steps out of the Ferris wheel, Blue Eyes lands with a whoosh in front of them, wings dipped and spread to accommodate the both the both of them.]

[bluescreenspiritdragon]

Blue-Eyes! Hey. I guess you heard the plan, huh? Do you think you can beat the roller coaster here? My guess is a resounding duh. I bet these rickety old things can just barely keep up, but that's what you get when you don't have Kaiba Corp. building the stuff. [ he just shakes his head as he climbs onto her back. ] I know Intensity's got the powers to send it into overdrive, [ he crouches down and gives her a pat. ] but you're still way better than these so-called rides. For them to even stand a chance we have to give 'em a handicap.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I'm not overdriving the roller coaster. The last time that happened, it got jettisoned into a building.

[Said grumpily as he climbs up behind Mokuba on Blue Eyes]

[bluescreenspiritdragon]

[ he stumbles forward, because he hadn't been expecting to hear THAT. whipping around he looks up at his brother. ]

What?!
