Kaiba In Yellow Is Such An Interesting Take Omg

Kaiba in yellow is such an interesting take omg

huevember 04

There's a saying out there: yugioh drew femboys before it was cool

As a pansexual I found myself very attracted to most of the guys/girls in the show

..so to say the least Yugioh was a very gay awakening for me. No matter what gender the character was.

never played a card game in my life

To add onto this, he always says he would never settle for mediocrity; and as we know- only bigots settle for mediocrity. Kaiba ain't a bigot just because he's a pain in the ass. He's an equal opportunity duelist: he'll kick your ass no matter what race, gender, sexuality, or religion you are. And I'll stand on this point.

Whenever someone is like “Kaiba would be sexist/homophobic/etc!” I’m just kinda like… did we watch the same show?? Or even read the same manga?? Even if you just watch DOD you can clearly see that Kaiba wants EVERYONE to feel accepted. I hate people that think he’s bigoted just because he’s an asshole. He’s an asshole because he’s autistic and doesn’t mask. They hated him because he was a baddie 😔

This is SO UNDERRATED OH MY GODDESS.

Of course he did the right thing.

There's no question about it, if he hadn't pulled that switch and shut down the test, his brother would have died.

But he still cant stop thinking about it.

Every time he closes his eyes, he sees Seto's face, contorted in pain, eyes blown wide, veins popping from the stress on his body and brain.

All he ever wanted was to see his brother smile again. Now that twisted expression of agony is burned into his mind.

Their head scientist had hesitated to pull the switch himself, even as Seto's vitals set off every alarm.

What if he hadn't been there?

Seto had been alone in his own personal lab when he'd rushed into Duel Links.

What if Mokuba hadn't called his brother when he had?

His chest hurts. Mokuba rolls onto his back, staring up at the ceiling.

It's okay, he tells himself. What matters is that Seto's okay--

Seto is okay, right?

He had given in to the pleading from Mokuba, Isono, and their head scientist and submitted to a physical, but Seto had promptly returned to his private lab after, only giving his brother some quick reassurance in passing.

Mokuba groans. The stillness of his massive bedroom suite feels suffocating. He slips out from under his heavy comforters and into some pajama pants. He tiptoes across the hall, only to hesitate outside Seto's door.

It's been so long since he's crawled into his brother's bed. He knows he's getting too old for such childish comforts, but tonight he needs to know that Seto's okay. To see his face at peace instead of--

Mokuba swallows thickly and raises a hand to tap quietly on the door.

No answer.

He must be sleeping, resting after the turmoil of the evening.

Mokuba turns the knob, entering his brother's room quietly and carefully, only to find it

empty.

His stomach sinks as he realizes. Despite nearly dying just hours ago, Seto's spending yet another night away in his private lab, locked to everyone, even his little brother. Of course. Just like every night since their trip to Egypt.

Really, what else had he expected?

For a moment, Mokuba considers calling his brother on the monitor in his lab, just to see his face and hear his voice. But he already interrupted Seto's precious research once. He doesn't want to push his luck doing so again, especially for something so pathetic.

Instead, he walks across the plush carpet of Seto's bedroom suite to the mini bar in the corner, hardly touched by the man it belongs to, underage himself. So, it won't be noticed if Mokuba takes a couple sips of something or other. Not much, just enough to quiet his brain and blur the memories of his brother's agonized expression. He hisses and shivers and gags at the taste, but still swallows it down, along with this awful evening.

He's careful to return the bottle exactly as it has been before, though several sips lighter, and returns to his own room to sleep it off. After all, he has to get up in the morning to run Kaiba Corporation so his brother can focus on his own, far more important projects.

As he crawls back into his own bed, alone, he reassures himself once again.

Of course he's doing the right thing.
