#kaiba is 25

[rosalind-hawkins]

Untitled Fic Snippet:

“Do you want me to take you home, sir?” As evidenced by the packed suitcase, Roland doubted that.

“Back to that prison?” Kaiba scoffed. “Absolutely not.” It hadn't always been a prison to him, though it started out that way. At some point, the mansion had become his home. That was no longer the case.

“Would you like me to take you to a hotel?”

“I'm sick of hotels.” Hundreds of stays had taught him that a hotel's comfort could never compare to one's own bed, and he could never shake the feeling that privacy was a complete illusion.

“Very well, sir.”

They drove for awhile in silence, Kaiba staring vacantly out the tinted windows until he spoke again.

“I'm… depressed.” It wasn't a confession, more like a realization.

“Yes, sir.”

A few minutes later, “You knew before I did.”

“Your safety and welfare are my priority, sir.”

They said nothing more for the rest of the short drive.

HAPPY KAIBA DAY

"I can't do this anymore."

Seto sat up a little straighter just then, a little more tense as his hands closed into fists rested against crossed arms. His teeth clenched against each other until there was no give, and his eyes squinted ever so slightly as if scrutinizing this claim. Scrutinizing her.

She couldn't do this anymore? The entire idea of this... Arrangement could've been pinned solely on her, if he really wanted to twist it that way. She wanted his attention, wanted what he had to give, wanted him. But Seto got something out of this, too - Mai acted as a force of positive attention, someone to be praised by, stroke his ego. Connection in a way, in physical form, a release from the burdens of his own mind, at least for a time. Playing pretend to cope with his own thoughts was never something he'd expected from himself, and in truth Seto found this behavior below him, but being wanted, needed? by someone so willing to give herself to him gave him a sense of control and stability he did not know he wanted, although short-lived. In all reality this was a mutual agreement, something they both had a hand in setting the terms to, from the when and where of their rendezvous to how far they would or would not go. Tonight was one of those "special" evenings. He'd taken her out to her favorite spot for dinner, he'd spoiled her with good wine and a nice little flash of his credit card. This would normally be an exciting little outing, at least for Mai, but something was off and Seto could spot the lack of interest in her eye from a mile away. It rubbed him the wrong way to see her so sullen when this is what she wanted, and seemed to be waiting for him to ask her what was wrong. However, it was not his responsibility to get her to talk, and he refused to make an effort to broach the topic. In his mind it was about time she'd opened her mouth to speak the truth.

"Is that so?" He questioned, tilting his head just a tad, as if he hadn't heard that quite right.

"You say that as if I've done something wrong. Pray tell."

💜 About

❤️ When does this event take place?

JouKai Week for 2024 will run between Friday, January 19th and Thursday, January 25th, 2024.

💙 How does this work?

This event is open to anyone who's a fan of Kaiba and Joey.

A pair of prompts is provided every day. Feel free to pick and choose, or combine both prompts in your fanworks. You can make as many pieces as you want for any given day. Feel free to participate every day, or just on the days where you feel like it.

You can start working on your fills as soon as prompts are posted, but please do not post your finished works before the event starts.

❤️ What can I make?

Create whatever you're inspired to—fanart, traditional long-form fanfiction, poetry, crafts, mood boards, ship playlists, or headcanon posts.

The only stipulation is your work should primarily focus on Jounouchi and Kaiba. Otherwise, there are no restrictions on length or rating. Please keep in mind that it is common courtesy to provide ratings, warnings, and put NSFW or excessively long works under a "Read More" cut.

Go wild and have fun.

💙 Where should I post my work?

Wherever you want! While this event is run on tumblr, you're free to share your creations on tumblr, FF.net, AO3, twitter, etc. Mod will also reblog and share works that are tagged with @joukaiweek​​​ or #joukaiweek2024. Mod recommends doing both so your work doesn't get lost. Mod reserves the right to not reblog anything that does not fit the spirit of the event or is not properly rated/warned. Mod also requests you not share your finished creation until the day of the prompt.

❤️ I have another question not addressed here.

Send an ask, and Mod will get back to you ASAP.

your yugioh discord server au my beloved.

dunno if this already came up, but i tottaly see everyone chatting regulary (esp jaden the spammer-tm), minus yusei. he just lurks and gives a reply every second year/when tagged. </3

Yusei is the lurker who nevertheless responds immediately when tagged. The guy will never hop in and voice his opinion, but the second you @ him he has replied the nanosecond you hit send. He is, however, the biggest organizer of server movie nights, voice chats, and meet-up when multiple members of them are in the same city. This au is set after his series ended, after all. He's already keeping up long distance friendships with Jack, Crow, Akiza, and the twins. He is hardcore about keeping on top of online friendships. Sometimes he'll just pop into the vc while he's working and leave it open while he tinkers.

In ascending order of activity, Yusaku probably chats the second least. This tempered though, by the fact that they are always online. 4am in the morning? Yusaku is there. Yusaku's actually more vocal in the discord than in real life, after years of growing up raised by message boards an forums. If everyone sees it's been like 25 hours since they logged off, someone will shoot a message to Kolter, or they'll just log into vrains and hunt him down like it's the most dangerous game (getting Yusaku to log off and go the fuck to sleep)

Yuya took a while to warm up the the GC, but every day gets more bold with just kicking down the doors of the chat and going off about something or another. Also he's in a minecraft server with all his brothers and the bracelet girls, so if he's online but not responding, it's probably because he's griefing Yuri's dirt house for the third time this week.

Yugi's really active in the chat, a fact that never fails to blow Yuma and Yuya's minds. He'll be at a global release sponsored by every important duel monsters company under the sun, and he'll send pictures of Kaiba caught mid sneeze with the caption 'LOL'. He will be on NATIONAL TV AND TEXTING THE GROUPCHAT. His memes are legendary.

No one knows how to quantify Yuma's activity, because there's like a 90% chance most of the messages he sends are him???? But then there's also the possibility that half his messages are Astral feeling chatty, and it's very hard to tell because both of them are equally likely to start a rousing discussion on the morals of dolphins at 3 in the morning. Yugi is the only one who can reliably tell them apart.

And OF COURSE, AT THE TOP OF THE LIST, IT'S YA BOI, YOUR SUPREME MEME KING: JADEN YUKI. *insert airhorn sound effect* Spammer galore. Constantly uploading selfies of him standing in front of some eldritch abomination, or standing on the surface of Jupiter, or some other such equally questionable use of his powers. Liveblogs his annoyance at being made to do demonic paperwork. Makes incomprehensible memes that no one can tell if he's dunking on his henchmen again, or just really, really good at shitposting. He has a channel in the discord just for him where, every day, he just sends a single digit number, and some of the yu-boys are going crazy trying to figure out if it's a code, or some secret eldritch coordinates, or a massive ARG style prank, or what.

Yusei eventually reveals it's how many tries Yubel took to get the days wordle.

You know how sometimes I go on "hey guys Seto Kaiba is canonically a child" campaigns

It's because this fandom constantly puts his behavior in the lens of him being an adult

And it's like no of course it would be ridiculous if a 25 year old was doing some of this

... But he's fifteen and it makes perfect sense that he acts like this

Also you can't put an adult lens on his relationship with Mokuba oh my fucking god stop it they are fifteen and ten, ten and five, a literal pair of children trying not to get separated by adults, that is a different fucking relationship from abusive codependency
