´ the next generation of duel disk. ´ a curt reply, slowed down by the approaching sleepiness. he felt it in his shoulder, bringing him down a peg. it lingered in his chest, everything feeling immensely heavier by the minute; a sure sign that he must be getting to bed sometime soon or else, yet this such a sign is simply ignored. nothing gets done by sleeping ! there is no success or victory within sleep ! he had to push forward, regardless of the expense ! there was no other choice to him. he was the mastermind behind all duel disks & corporation inventions, there was no one else he could take his place. seto had to be the one who would complete this disk, & it had to be done tonight.
however, that did not mean that mokuba had to suffer along with him. in fact, seto would prefer it if the other went to bed, soundly & safely. his own inventions didn’t force him to keep mokuba up so late, & that is how it would be. mokuba did not need to step into seto’s shoes just yet, taking on such burdens of the corporation’s name. such long nights, slander, & the constant reminder of their past – none of this was meant for mokuba. ´ you should be heading to bed right now. if you go now, i’ll see you in the morning. you need sleep more than i do. ´
“Seto...”
The younger brother let out a sigh as he allowed his shoulders to slump down in defeat, he knew better than anyone to never try and win an argument with the elder Kaiba when he was like this. If the other was insistent on working on through the night then he will try to help the best that he could.
Walking out of the room under the pretense of going to bed he instead went straight towards the long flight of stairs that headed to the ground floor, even if it was his home the darkness always caused the male to jump at the shadows so he hurried towards the kitchens, at least there he could turn on the light.
