I got the idea for this while I was doing dishes… Heh, guess why. It's supposed to be funny. So please, tell me you laughed. [naughty ashes thinks she could make a sequel to this…]

AH! The first time I posted this, I forgot to mention that the setting is on the Battle City blimp. Whups. Also, went through a made a few grammar changes, hopefully not for the worse. *bites nails* ^^ Ah, and arigato to those who reviewed. Glad it made you laugh. XD


"I like nuts."

Kaiba nearly tripped over his own feet when he heard Joey make that proclamation from inside Yugi's room. Kaiba was mere inches from crossing in front of the open door; he steadied himself by holding onto the wall, waiting to regain his composure before he started walking again.

"Joey, you like a lot of things."

"I know, but I really like nuts. They're good, ya know?"

Yugi responded, "No, not really. Why the sudden obsession with nuts?"

"Well," Joey sought to explain, "Nuts are just great to put in your mouth; I like the way they taste, and no two nuts are ever the same." Kaiba blinked rapidly... Surely the puppy couldn't mean what he was thinking the puppy meant! "Hey, let me see yours." Kaiba leaned against the wall, both to support his suddenly trembling legs and to listen better; what did they think they were going to do? The door was wide open; anyone would see!

"Okay," Yugi answered, and there was a small lapse of silence before...

"They, these are terrific! I think I might keep these for a while."

"Why? Don't you have your own?"

"Yea, but yours are better." There was another moment of silence. "Besides, they taste great." Joey seemed to make a show of eliciting noises of satisfaction. Kaiba's mouth dried; he could just imagine Joey on his knees in front of Yugi, attention focused completely on Yugi's...

"God, Joey," Yuugi groaned, almost in exasperation, "You're making such a scene!"

"But they're honey-roasted!"

Kaiba's head hit the wall with a loud thud as he snapped to attention, abandoning his fantasies at the words "honey-roasted"... that meant... He stood straight, trying to erase the flush from his cheeks and closing his jacket in front of him to hide the bulge in his pants.

"What was that?" Yugi asked Joey, and Kaiba took that moment to step in front of the door; he looked into the room to find that Yugi was sitting on the opposite side of the room as Joey, and the latter male was sprawled out in a chair, munching on the contents of a bag labeled "honey roasted soy nuts." "Kaiba!" Yugi called cheerfully.

"Hmph," was Kaiba's only answer.

Yugi continued, "Did you hear that noise?"

"I didn't hear anything," Kaiba said unconcernedly. He tried to think of something to say... but all he could think to do was glare condescendingly at Joey.

"What?" Joey demanded. Kaiba smirked and walked away.

"What a prick," he heard Joey say exasperatedly. "Still, I wonder what that noise was..."
