Seto never approved of any of Mokuba’s girlfriends. None of them were ever up to snuff… but it was especially the case for this one.

Slyvie was a French model and Seto could see why his brother was interested. Despite his own personal preferences, he could tell she was attractive in an objective sort of way. But the fact that she made his brother happy didn’t make her any better in his eyes.

His brother had only been dating her for a few weeks but they were already obnoxiously affectionate.

They were at a Kaiba Corp function and, like so many other times, Seto was annoyed to be there. His only consolation was that Joey was there as well. His boyfriend was currently distracted by the food at the moment, however. Therefore he was stuck with his brother and his girlfriend.

“Please get me a drink, Love,” Sylvie purred as she ran her fingers down Mokuba’s arm. Seto found it hard to mask his grimace.

Mokuba broke out into a large grin.

“Sure thing, Babe.” He turned to leave but stopped to point a finger at his brother.

“Be nice,” Mokuba admonished.

Seto snorted at his brother’s retreating form.

Sylvie regarded Seto for a moment before she was distracted by something at the refreshment table. It was Joey — laughing loudly and gesturing wildly. At least he was having a good time, thought Seto.

She rolled her eyes and switched to French.

《What an idiot!》She laughed to herself. 《Very funny! I didn’t realise they would hire a clown to entertain us,》she said snidely.

Seto glared and switched to French as well.

《He’s my boyfriend.》

Her eyes widened. She had not expected him to say this, much less in her native language.

“Oh! I—” she sputterred, but she knew it was too late.

At this moment, Mokuba returned with the drinks.

“Were you civil?” he joked.

“Up until she insulted Joey.”

Mokuba swallowed. He knew how his brother could get about his boyfriend.

“Sylvie…”

“I want to leave,” she said haughtily.

Seto rolled his eyes as Mokuba gaped.

“… Okay,” he finally answered. He looked at his brother piteously.

“Sorry, big brother…”

Seto nodded and the pair left. Seto sighed. This night was a bust. He went over to his boyfriend, who was now having a good time stuffing his face.

Seto smiled and pecked Joey on the cheek.

“Seto!” Joey beamed. “You should really try these mini quiche things,” he said adamantly.

Seto chuckled. His eyes widened as Joey brought one up to his face. He opened his mouth to accept the gift.

Okay, maybe they were a bit obnoxiously affectionate too.

“I like that one,” supplied Joey as he poked his head over Seto’s shoulder.

Seto scoffed. “I hardly think it’s work-appropriate.”

“Then why’d you even buy it?” Joey teased back. Cocking his head to the side, he pondered. “Or did you buy it? Do they even sell Blue Eyes themed ties in stores?”

Seto’s eyes narrowed in annoyance and concentration as he considered two ties (of which Joey was 99% sure were the same). After a beat,  he decided against both and placed them to the side.

“I’m not sure if they sell them… Mokuba got it for me a couple Christmases ago…” he said trailing off.

Seto slid his fingers around another tie (this time, maroon) and held it up against his shirt.

Joey nodded appreciatively at the pairing but Seto wasn’t paying attention to him. It joined its brothers in a growing pile and Joey pouted behind Seto’s back.

To avoid being ignored, Joey moved to stand to Seto’s immediate right instead.

“Ooh!” Joey breathed, reaching around to run his finger under a tie and lift it up into the light.

Seto hmm-ed and pulled it from its hanger. He held it against his chest to see how well it matched with the rest of his suit.

Joey grinned.

“Yes?”

Seto sighed in mock resignation and Joey chuckled. He pulled the tie from Seto’s grasp to help put it on.

When he was done, Joey steered Seto to the full-length mirror for the final review.

“There! Perfect.”

And Seto agreed.

Imagine Joey and Kaiba are about to have sex and then they get into a huge argument on who is on top.
