[Momiji's sitting in a hotel room with bags of opened Halloween candy and empty wrappers laying around him on the bed. He looks tired.]

My birthday's in two days, but I don't feel much like celebrating. Not with everyone gone or hurt.

[He sighs and picks up a bag, rifling through it for a candy bar.]

I'm coming back to the City in the morning. I bought a lot of sweets while I was up here, does anyone want to come over and help me eat them?

Days later.....

They are! Niisama doesn't even LIKE sweet things! [This is not the way the world should work]

psssh It's fine.

[whatmuttiforgot.livejournal.com]

What? [what is this crime against humanity?] Why?

[the-other-kaiba.livejournal.com]

I don't know! Maybe because he doesn't eat enough anyway,sweet or not.

[whatmuttiforgot.livejournal.com]

Eh? He doesn't eat? That's dangerous.

[the-other-kaiba.livejournal.com]

I know. It worries me a lot. I wish he would....

[whatmuttiforgot.livejournal.com]

Can't somebody make him?

[the-other-kaiba.livejournal.com]

I don't know who, though, if he won't listen to me.

...Maybe Bakura. Bakura can cook well. Niisama should eat what Bakura makes.

[whatmuttiforgot.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Maybe he's just a picky eater and you have to find the things he likes. Then Bakura can make that.

[the-other-kaiba.livejournal.com]

I think it's 'cause of Gozaburo. He wasn't a picky eater at the orphanage. At least not that I remember.

[whatmuttiforgot.livejournal.com]

Who is Gozaburo?

[the-other-kaiba.livejournal.com]

Gozaburo adopted us. He... wasn't nice to Niisama....

[whatmuttiforgot.livejournal.com]

What do you mean 'wasn't nice'? [Kid don't tell him your family sucked too]

[the-other-kaiba.livejournal.com]

I don't really know too much.... [And what he does know about he doesn't want to talk much about] But there are a lot of things Niisama doesn't do too much anymore. [Like sleep. And eat. And smile....]

[whatmuttiforgot.livejournal.com]

[Momiji's mouth presses into a thin line. That doesn't sound good.] Do you two still stay around this guy?

[the-other-kaiba.livejournal.com]

[Oh, what to say and how to say it. Things get so complicated when talking about Gozaburo. Especially about why he's gone. Mokuba is certain he shouldn't mention Gozaburo killing himself in front of a pair of children. But should he say he's dead?]

[He hesitates a long time, before deciding on simplicity softly spoken]

He's gone.

Sorry for the late

[whatmuttiforgot.livejournal.com]

[Nope he probably shouldn't say that unless he wants a panicky blonde freaking out at him. And all of the hugs.]

Oh. So you guys are okay now?

<3<3 Don't worry

[the-other-kaiba.livejournal.com]

[Well, all the hugs would be nice. But that would be hard through the comm and a panicky blonde is hard to deal with....]

We're getting better, I think... And Niisama smiles more here! That's good, right?

[whatmuttiforgot.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's very good. And you're happy too, right?

[the-other-kaiba.livejournal.com]

Yes! [He beams] If I can have friends and Niisama's happy, I'm happy!

[whatmuttiforgot.livejournal.com]

Good! I'm glad.
