@vicepresidenttoyou liked for a starter

Kyoko had no idea where she was, one moment she’d been in heaven and the next she was here. But she didn’t need anyone to tell her who she was standing in front of. She’d been watching, for so long, and to finally be able to speak with her son, to hear his voice, maybe touch him was absolutely wonderful.

“Mokuba? Oh gosh… I don’t suppose you’d know who I am?”

[vicepresidenttoyou]

“Ah... No?” He tilted his head. “You an employee or something? I’ve never seen you before...”

[vicepresidenttoyou]

“I’m twelve and what is this!”

he wishes that words could express the absolute DESPAIR filling his gut, threatening to grip onto his throat. hearing his brother analyze him so fast, whenever it took YEARS for him to reach even a sliver of that conclusion, broke his heart. yes, seto broke mokuba whenever he left, perusing what he thought would lead to happiness: an obsession that captivated his mind for so long that it had to lead to greatness. IT HAD TO. but.. he also broke himself. it’s something he’s neglecting to address, even now when it’s right in front of his face.

now isn’t the time for him. mokuba needs help.

“no, you won’t. the control is mine again.” his words run faster than his mind, blurting out the first thing on his tongue. seto blinks, attempting to regain control of the situation & his vocals. “it’s fine. your job as vice president remains intact… i just need…”

time. the last word escapes him, drifting the room into another session of uneasy silence. eye contact flutters, dropping to the floor. it’s like he’s SEARCHING the ground for the courage to say what’s on his mind. it fell from his body somewhere, right?? WHY NOW ! 

“… to think. i need to think about everything.” it’s not wrong, but it isn’t the entire truth. somehow, admitting that he can’t just rush into things & pretend it’s all good is difficult, even now. “i don’t think this is a conversation we can have all at once.”

Seto’s response scares him, sets his heart racing at a million miles. Control. It’s always been about control. Of course it was a surprise when he gave the company to Mokuba in the first place, for however long it was. At that moment, Seto was taking control of his destiny, his happiness, his victory- That’s what he was thinking, right? After losing that, there’s no way he’d let go of the company again. The only thing he could control, now...

Mokuba can see him crumbling before him, and for some reason, it’s so much more normal and reasonable than the way he’d been trying to hold everything together since he came home. This is his real brother. This is the person he grew up beside, through all the hardships, doing anything they could to climb out of the mud together. Back then, they had nothing to lose, and now... there was everything.

“We have to,” he answered him meekly. “We have to! Don‘t worry I- I won‘t... I won‘t let anything happen, to this company or to us. You need...”

“You need some help, Seto. You need to get some help. I’m scared!”

♚•∘₊─── ＭＡＫＥ ＩＴ ＱＵＩＣＫ．( @vicepresidenttoyou​ ) "Hey Seto... Do you remember what mom was like?" unprompted.

OOF.

this is not the question he was expecting to hear today (or any time soon, for that matter.) it’s been quite a few years since gozaburo locked the two brothers in their hell, even longer since their arrival to the orphanage. everything about those events lives in the PAST, something seto famously doesn’t dwell on. from experience, he’s learned that memories & feelings associated with them can drag you down in the future.

yet, he’d do anything for mokuba, which is why he hasn’t dismissed him. his face grew a different shade of serious, obviously surprised by the question, but nothing verbal slips out. it’s like he’s PLOTTING his response (maybe searching for the answer himself ?) or finding a way to tell everything delicately. either way, the brothers remain in silence for a few good moments.

“… somewhat.” seto finally speaks up, vocal tone indicating dryness. he doesn’t reach for a drink, despite a water bottle’s presence just a few inches away. “she was excited to have you, mokuba… she wanted me to have a brother so i wouldn’t be lonely. i remember her spending lots of time in what would be your future room. i didn’t understand much yet, but i watched her from the doorway whenever she’d hum & fix blankets.”

[vicepresidenttoyou]

“Oh...” He smiled, a little bit. Maybe that was the answer he expected? If Seto didn‘t remember, that would be fine. Still...

“If... I wasn‘t born, then... she’d still be alive...” That was the glaring issue. Like, maybe if it weren‘t for him- Seto wouldn‘t have to go through so much hardship. Perhaps they wouldn‘t have been orphaned at all.

♚•∘₊─── ＭＯＫＵＢＡ ． ( @vicepresidenttoyou​​ ) | x. 

PER THE NORM FOR SETO KAIBA, he viewed the situation entirely wrong. not everything can fall into a BUSINESS TRANSACTION, especially when highly-charged emotions are involved. sure, he definitely didn’t mean to set this confrontation up as a meeting in his mind (it’s pure defense mechanism at this point) but that’s what he did. honestly, he needs to connect on the HUMAN level before he can make a proper response.

silence fills the room, allowing mokuba’s words to soak into seto’s system. though determined to focus on the EMOTIONS he typically tosses aside, an analytic approach captivates his brain activity. maybe his issue was that he wasn’t listening enough ? it wouldn’t surprise anyone, considering his overzealous attitude towards his interests when compared to the dismissal of anything else. it’s all HORRIFIC HABIT he struggles to break, but it needs to happen soon. 

taking mokuba’s everything into thoughtful consideration, he speaks again, face blank.

“… you’re right. worst of all, i abandoned you.” even in this newly-found realization, seto has a difficult time admitting his wrongdoings outright. hearing them in the air like this AFFIRMS their reality. “it was my job to protect you & i failed. even now, when you’re physically okay, i left you for far too long. i’m not going to do that again… the pharaoh is done.”

He opens his mouth- then closes it. Even when Seto finally gives him the answer he wants, it... it feels wrong. It feels hollow. Mokuba wipes at his face and sniffles. “Everything I do... I do because I want you to be proud of me. I do everything you tell me to do. I always have.” Others might consider him a brat, but to his brother? He was fiercely loyal.

“But I... don‘t anymore. It’s because sometimes I listen to you- and I realize you don‘t always know what’s best for me. You don‘t always know what’s best for yourself. You don‘t always know how to keep me, and you, and all the stuff we care about healthy, happy, safe...”

“What I’m saying is... I don‘t know how to make you happy.” He shakes his head. “Atem didn‘t make you happy. This company didn‘t make you happy. I didn‘t make you happy. Has it gotten to a point... Have you broken yourself so badly for other people that there’s not anything...” He stops. He can‘t finish the sentence. It’s too hopeless.

“I- I’ll do anything to make you smile again! Really. I’ll take over the company again if that’s what you need. Anything!”

[vicepresidenttoyou]

“Is it illegal to own a giant venomous lizard? Probably. Do I care? nope!”

“You know, we could use virtual reality for even more than dueling… like- we could make a game where you could ride dragons! That would be cool, huh?”

unprompted. 

he TOSSES the idea around in his head, allowing silence to settle over the room. even when he’s lost in thought, seto gives off the appearance of a COLD MAN, heart harded by years of hardships & trials. one would think that the ceo of a successful tech company, despite being a teenager, wouldn’t react kindly to suggesting something so childish for a future development, right?

“mokuba.” seto raises his eyes, ready to speak. “you’re a genius. i don’t know why that thought hasn’t crossed my mind, but it’s an excellent idea. we should begin programming right away.”

obviously, many people did not know seto kaiba.

“Yes!” He jumped for joy He knew Seto would agree with him! “We could have a whole virtual monster petting zoo! Er, well like... for the cute animal-looking ones. We don‘t want any creeps petting Dark Magician Girl.” Mokuba winced. “Our jet is cool and all, but a real dragon would be waaaay cooler!”

PLEASE DRAW MORE MOKUBA. YOU DID MY BOY SO GOOD!!! I LOVE YHE WAY YOU DRAW HIM!! Maybe some art with Seto would be cool.

idk what happened to the quALITY but yes

Kaiba is such an arrogant, oppositional, dismissive jerk he makes it easy to forget that the reason he was so desperate to take over Kaiba Corporation was that he had to stop Gozaburo from using his designs to kill people.

In the manga, he describes what Gozaburo did as stealing his soul.  I think his inventions are that much a part of him, that direct an expression of who he is at his core.  

Kaiba spends a lot of time telling people how little he cares.  His actions though make it clear just how big a lie that is, because it would have been much easier to simply go along with Gozaburo, to let his adoptive father use his inventions without worrying about all the people being hurt and killed by them.  That’s what someone who didn’t care would do.  Instead Kaiba starts this impossible quest to take control of Kaiba Corporation.  

And the only reason he was in this situation to begin with is that he was trying to honor his promise to take care of Mokuba.  Kaiba has in so many situations in his life where winning has seemed impossible, it’s not surprising that he pursues it so intensely.
