Chapter Sixteen


After Seto talked to Mokuba, he put the phone down and he noticed how his hands were shaking. What if he couldn’t accept Mokuba’s life style what then, Seto picked the phone up and he called Roland.

Roland answered the phone and when he heard Seto’s voice, he knew that something was wrong. “Seto, please talk to me.” Roland said.

Seto took a deep breath and then he said, “I just talked to Mokie and I’m scared, what if I can’t find a way to accept him then what will happen to us?”

Roland then said, “Listen I want you to talk to someone who might be able to help. His name is Peter Maxwell and he’s the one that helped me when Ethan told me that he was gay. I’ll give you his number and Seto please call him.”

Roland gave Seto Dr. Maxwell’s number and before Seto hung up Roland said, “I’m so proud of you for trying to find a way to at least meet your brother half way and I know that he’s proud of you too.”

Seto then said, “I’ll talk to Dr. Maxwell, but Roland, I don’t know when I’m going to be ready to come home.”

Roland knew that it was going to be one of the hardest things that Seto has ever had to do and he said, “Listen, you take as long as you need, but if you need me just call and I’ll be there any time.”

Seto then said, “I’ve got to go, and Roland, thanks for being the father that Mokie and I never really had. That bastard wasn’t any kind of father to either of us.”

Ethan was worried about Seto and he walked to his room and knocked on his door. Seto opened it and when he saw Ethan standing there he said, “I just talked to my brother, I really need to talk to someone so I called Roland, he gave me the name of the doctor who helped him, and I’m going

Ethan said, “You’re doing the right thing by talking to Peter, he really helped Roland after I dropped that bomb shell on him.”

Seto and Ethan walked back to the living room and they smiled, there on the floor was Shawn with both Kelly and Kyle tickling him and Shawn was begging them to stop. Seto then said to Ethan, “Do you mind if I stay here for a while longer?”

Shawn got up off the floor, he walked over to where they were, he put his arm around Ethan’s shoulder, and he said, “Seto you’re welcome here for a long as you need.”

Kelly not really knowing what was going on came up to them and she asked, “Can Seto help fix dinner?”

Seto laughed and he told her, “I don’t know how to cook.”

Kyle came over and he told Seto, “We don’t know either, but papa and Dada lets us help, maybe they will let you help too.”

Ethan and Shawn said, “Sure Seto, we’ll let you help too.”

Seto started laughing, he looked at the kids, and as he held out his hands he said, “Well then let’s go help.”

So as they all went into the kitchen, Seto and the kids helped mix together the ingredients that Ethan and Shawn needed to make dinner, and when it was done, it really tasted great.

After they ate, Seto said, “I’ll do the dishes.” Ethan laughed and he said, “Well, tonight I think that we all can do the dishes and then we all can go outside and enjoy this beautiful weather.”

As they all sat outside, Ethan laid down a blanket for the kids to lay on and Kyle asked Seto to join them and for just a moment he didn’t think of anything but tonight and being out here enjoying this beautiful night.

Shawn then said, “It’s time to get ready for bed.” Kelly and Kyle got up, they hugged Seto, it brought tears to his eyes, and they said, “Goodnight Seto.” Then as Ethan went inside with them, Seto helped Shawn fold up the blanket and Seto said, “Thank you for letting me stay here.”

Shawn then said, “Listen, I know what you’re going through as does Ethan, and if it wasn’t for Roland neither of us would have had anyone to be there for us, so we’re happy to be there for you.”

As they went inside, Seto told Shawn, “Goodnight.” And he went to his room and as he got ready for bed, he made a mental note to call Dr. Maxwell and make an appointment to go talk to him in the morning.

In the morning, Seto called and made an appointment to talk to Dr. Maxwell and when he hung up the phone he sat there and he hoped that this would be the beginning of his journey to finding what he really wants out of life.

Kelly and Kyle were sitting in the living room doing some arithmetic and Shawn was helping them, Seto went over and sat down and he watched as Shawn was interacting with his kids and it made him want to be able to be there for Mokuba and he was going to do whatever he had to do that.

It was time that Seto went into town for his appointment and Ethan drove him, as he parked outside the building where Dr. Maxwell’s Office was, he told Seto, “When you’re done call and we’ll come and tonight we’ll have a night out and see a movie.”

Seto walked into the Office and as he told the receptionist his name, she told him, “The doctor will be right out, will you please fill out these papers.”

As he sat down, he started filling out the papers and as he got to the part that asked why he was there, he wrote down why and as he finished, the door opened and out walked an older gentleman and he held out his hand and he said, “My name is Peter.”

Seto shook his hand and then he followed the doctor into a room and as he sat down, Peter asked, “Okay, why are you here?

Seto told him, “About a month ago my brother told me that he was gay.”

Peter asked him, “What did you do?”

Seto, “Well I blew up and started yelling, and then Mokuba told me to go to hell and he walked out.

And well it wasn’t until I finally left to try to figure out how to handle the news that we have talked on the phone and I really want to discover how I can find a way for us to get back together.

But I don’t think that I’ll ever be able to accept the fact that he is living with a man that I don’t really like.”

Peter then said, “Tell me about you and your brother.”

Seto told him, “We were adopted by Gozaburo Kaiba and we were brought back to live with him in his Estate. Gozaburo needed an heir to take over running Kaiba Corp. and to carry on the Kaiba name.

When Mokuba and I first came to live with him it was all right, but then it quickly changed. I was grilled almost night and day in learning what it takes to run a business. He had tutors teach me and Mokuba, but most me.

I had to make top grades in all my classes or all hell would break loose. I was made to study nearly all day long and if I didn’t do what I was told then I was punished.

Soon I became almost like a robot and did exactly as I was told or as that bastard would tell me; if you don’t do what I tell you then I’ll punish your brother. I couldn’t let that happen, so I did as I was told.

As I got older, I hated Gozaburo because I no longer had a life of my own; my life was studying and learning how to run that damn company. One day, I guess I was about seventeen, Gozaburo died in a plane crash and that’s when Roland went to court and because Mokuba and my guardian and our lives changed for the better, but I wasn’t ever the same.

I had been programmed only to want things to be perfect and if they weren’t then find out why and fix it. When Mokuba came and told me that he was gay, well it made my world spiral downward until I crashed and all I could do was lash out at him.”

Peter the asked Seto, “What is going to happen if you can’t accept the fact that your brother is gay and that he’s living with another man, will your world just fall apart?”

Seto looked at him and then he said, “I honestly don’t know.”

Peter then said, “What I want you to do is to try to imagine your life without your brother and see if this is what you want for yourself. I want you to make another appointment and come back in three days and we’ll discuss what you’ve decided.”

Seto stood and he held out his hand and he said, “I really want to thank you for seeing me and I pray that somehow together we can find a way for everything to work out.”
