Title: Love and hate

Summary: Mokuba asks Seto why he hates him.

XxX+XxX

It was thundering outside, the thunder was a nice sound. Always booming with anger, sometimes with sadness but never in happiness…

Our youngest Kaiba smiled as he heard the thunder roar, "This time it's sadness huh?" he giggled and went inside before he caught a cold.

When Mokuba went inside, he heard nothing except the sound of typing. His smile formed, "He's still up…" the raven haired boy started walking to his brothers office.

He opened the door into a slit and peeked through. After a 3 seconds, he went in greeting, "Hi Niisama~"

Our favorite CEO looked up, "Anything wrong?"

Mokuba shook his head then sat down on the couch, "I just wanted to be here. You don't mind, do you?"

Seto didn't say anything; he just went back to working on his reports for the meeting. Mokuba took that as a "Yes, I mind" but he didn't leave.

The small boy stared at his brother work but that stopped when Seto questioned, "Is there anything you want? You know I'll give it to you."

Mokuba's eyes narrowed, "There is something I want—an answer to a question. Will you provide me with that?"

Silence

A sigh came from the older brother, "Of course…"

Mokuba's hands clenched at what he was going to say, "After Gozaburo died you told me the truth. You said hated me ever since I was born. I just want to know why…"

Seto smirked, "I always thought you knew the reason. Mokuba, our parents our dead…If they were alive do you think we'd be having this conversation? No, but they're dead because a spoiled little boy was born. Does that answer your question or would you like a more detailed answer?"

Mokuba's face didn't changed, "Then why did you beat Gozaburo in chess for me?"

The older Kaiba blinked, "For you?" he scoffed, "I needed to get out of that hellhole and I promised our parents to protect you. If I didn't promise our dead parents, I would've left with Gozaburo without you."

Mokuba's face still stayed the same, "Why go with him when you could've gone with a family that would've loved you?"

Thunder crashed

Seto's eyes narrowed, "I knew Gozaburo was a cruel person. Father used to work for him and he complained about Gozaburo a lot but I needed to be adopted by him for me to become successful."

Ding, ding, ding~

The clock stroke midnight…

Mokuba smiled and looked at the clock, "I guess it's time for me to go, huh? I'll see tomorrow Niisama."

Seto didn't say anything.

Before Mokuba left, he turned to face Seto once last time, "Before I go, just know this. I love you. Even if you hate me, I'll always love you as my brother, my father, my protector, my savior. You can hate me as much as you want. You can say that to me as much as you want but I'll love you till the very end."

The storm ended
