To: Ford Prefect From: Mandisa Characters/Pairings: Mokuba(POV), Seto/Jou Rating: G Disclaimer: Yuugiou is owned by Kazuki Takahashi and all the animation affiliates. Notes: "Chihuahua" for Jou has been adopted from a bunch of other fanfic writers (personally, I don’t even know when that started...) A bit of an ADD Mokuba. I keep making him ramble and digress! XD Ugh…this really shows how long it’s been since I’ve written a fanfic of fluffy sorts... Or any fanfic at all, for that matter. SO, plausible OOC warning. Schoolwork, plus NaNoWriMo definitely turns your brain to mush by the end of November. I’ll get better, though! Promise!
Big Brother’s winter open house business parties are my favorite times of the year. He lets me invite Yugi-tachi while he invites all the business owners. It’s a formal event, so everyone dresses up.
I help decorate the house for Christmas, since Brother sits in his office working. "It’s a commercial holiday, Mokuba. That means big business." His pathetic excuse not to enjoy this time of year when we’re a family. Only at the end of these parties does Big Brother act like he used to...the times when he used to smile.
Having Yugi-tachi around seems to help. I invited Jou to the open house last night, since everyone else was busy. The party went smoothly, and Jou was as Big Brother calls him "an obedient little Chihuahua." Big Brother shows favorites at these parties. He only tells choice people about Jou. And usually they are the ones who stay latest. There are two women who I suspect are lovers who run some sort of plush toy business...He introduced Jou to them last night, as a lover. It’s rare that Big Bro admits that. I love the way he talks about it when we have a rare dinner together. "He’s my puppy. Obedient and independent at the same time. And rather stupid in the endearing fashion. My challenge.”
Anyway, after the two ladies left, I forced Big Brother to loosen up and spend some time with Jou. Mistletoe is the perfect weapon to embarrass those two. Big Brother doesn’t believe much in the superstition, but he can take advantage of Jou being oblivious...Which he likes to do. Soon as I got the two caught underneath the mistletoe, I headed upstairs. It’s best not to get involved when Big Bro is caught up in a moment. Otherwise, I would probably end up with the Wrath of Seto later on when Jou left.
The one reward that I would be happy with was seeing Big Brother smiling the next morning before telling me he was going to work once more.
