100 Puppies and Dragons

Frost

Serenity was a lot like her brother, Seto decided with the smallest of smiles. She had a warm, bubbly personality and a generally happy disposition. She was kind and pleasant and fun to be around. Of course, she didn't quite have the spitfire personality that Joey had, but she was quirky.

He didn't really understand why Joey hadn't wanted him to meet her. Perhaps he'd been worried that Seto would be more attracted to her because she was a girl. Well, if that was the case, Joey really shouldn't have worried, because Serenity didn't have the mean streak that Joey did—Joey wasn't cruel, but he certainly had a mouth on him that, if Seto was a lesser man, could have reduced him into a pathetic ball of depression. He liked knowing that Joey could dish out just as much verbal poison as he could.

Seto yelped as a hand suddenly gripped the collar of his shirt and yanked him painfully against the table they'd been sitting at. "Gack-!"

Serenity's eyes and voice were decidedly less warm when she spoke this time. "If you hurt my brother I swear that they will be finding teeny tiny pieces of you for decades," she hissed, and Seto could almost see the frost forming on her breath. "I will take you somewhere that they will never find you. They will not hear you scream, even as I slice the skin from your flesh. Two words, Seto Kaiba: POTATO PEELER."

Seto squeaked.

Serenity released him and smiled brightly. "Just a friendly warning. I think I'll go powder my nose."

Seto watched her go, eyes wide.

Joey returned from the bathroom, sighing as he sat down beside him. "So, what'd I miss—Where'd Serenity go?" Taking in the brunet's shell-shocked expression, he frowned. "She say somethin' t' ya, Seto?"

Seto squeaked again.

"Seto, you're goin' white."

"…I want to go home."

Joey stared at him for a few moments, then stated, "I told ya I didn't want ya t' meet my sister."

"I'm so sorry I insisted."

"Since ya started this, ya hafta finish it."

"I know."

"If it makes ya feel better, she can't do anymore t' ya while I'm here."

Seto reached out to grab his arm. "Please don't leave again."

Joey smiled awkwardly and patted his hand. "Yeah, of course."

Seeing the blond's little sister returning to their table, the older boy couldn't help tightening his grip on his lover's hand.

"Ngh-!" Joey grimaced but allowed the brunet to continue gripping his hand. He knew how scary his sister could be sometimes.
