The next few weeks went by somewhat notably. Seto had started to go to online therapy sessions. It took him a few days to warm up to the thought of it and then follow through. You're not sure how it's going though but it must be going well since he's stuck with it so far.
You've also seen more of him as you spend more time in the mansion. But that could just be him being more comfortable that you're around. You and Mokuba had definitely grown more comfortable around each other.
Whenever you're not busy with school or homework, you both usually just hang around each other. You'll talk about the most random things and laugh when Seto walks in during the weirdest part of your conversations. Other times you'll just scroll through tiktok in silence and send each other something funny.
When you first found out Mokuba had tiktok, you were surprised. You thought Seto wouldn't want him posting videos or anything. Mokuba keeps the account private and mostly just posts for himself and a few friends. His posts were mainly just trying out funny filters or whatever dance was popular.
On a particularly boring day of doom scrolling through tiktok, Mokuba gets the idea to make stupid videos together. You had nothing better to do so you agree. You both made some videos using filters that changed your hair and eye colors.
Eventually y'all got bored of that and moved on to using audios and being stupid on camera. It was pretty funny and you both watched some of those videos back a couple of times. You guys even posted a few privately to share with friends and each other.
You both got into tiktok dances. You quickly learned Mokuba had no sense of rhythm. Try as you might, he just could get the timing or dances that well. Maybe a two person dance would be better suited for him. You looked for a slow dance he could probably do and found one!
It was trending a while ago but it's a sped up version of Indila's song love story. It looked easy enough and was only 10 seconds long. You both practiced the dance before deciding to record. It wasn't going super well and he kept stepping on your toes.
After some practice you decided to record. You mainly just wanted him to stop stepping on your toes but you'd feel bad telling him that. While recording, Mokuba managed to trip you and as you fell you grabbed on to what you could. Unfortunately that was Mokuba and he fell on top of you.
"What are you both doing?" You could hear Seto from the second floor.
You groaned as Mokuba got off of you.
"We were trying to do this dance but fell." Mokuba responded.
You looked up and Seto was looking at both of you from the banister.
"What kind of dance?" Seto asked.
"Come here and see! Maybe you can do it!" Mokuba responded.
Seto came down and approached you both. You showed him the dance on your phone and then looked over the video you had captured. Seto snickered a bit after watching the video you had recorded.
"How did you manage to fail this badly?" He asked.
"It's harder than it looks!" Mokuba exclaimed.
"It's hard if you suck at dancing." You said.
Seto chuckled to himself and Mokuba looked offended.
"If it's not that hard I'd like to see you do it with Seto!" Mokuba said a bit miffed.
"Alright, as long as you're not my partner." He replied.
You giggled at this before you realized that you would have to be his partner. You could feel your face flush a bit.
"Let me see the dance once more." Seto requested.
You handed him your phone and calmed yourself. You can't believe you were starting to get all worked up over a 10 second dance.
Once he was done watching the video he handed you the phone and Mokuba set up his phone to record,
"Don't record this." Seto said sternly.
"I won't post it anywhere, publicly." Mokuba replied, saying the last part under his breath.
Seto glared at him for a second before getting in position. You stood in front of him in view of the camera. Once Mokuba hits record the song starts and you both begin the dance. The beginning of the dance is simple enough.
After the twirl he pulled you close to him. You didn't expect him to pull you in so close. You could smell his cologne. It was musky with floral and sandalwood notes. Before the song ends he surprisingly dips you.
You both make eye contact as you come back up. You hope that he doesn't notice you starting to get flustered. His expression looked like he was smiling. Like he knew you were getting flustered. Quickly you break away from Seto and act excited to see the video.
Mokuba shows it to you and Seto approaches to watch. It takes a few watches for you to register what's happening on screen as you're still a bit flustered.
"You make it look so easy!" Mokuba exclaimed.
"That's cause it was." Seto replied.
"I really like the end where you tip them over!" Mokuba said.
"Yeah! It was really fun!" You replied a little too excited.
You were trying your best to act normal but after that it was a little hard. You watched the video more and tried to pay more attention. It actually did come out pretty good. Suddenly you feel your phone vibrate in your pocket.
"Can I post it? It came out really good!" Mokuba asked.
"No. I don't want the entire world to see it." Seto replied.
Mokuba started explaining that it was a private video only friends can see. You tuned out the argument between the both of them as you pulled out your phone. You notice its a text from Alejandra. It was a long message so you opened your phone to read. When you actually read the message, it was Alex texting you from her phone.
In the message he started out friendly, asking you how you've been and that it's been a while since you last talked. He talks about how he's been and how he's sorry for what happened the last time you saw each other. Finally he says that he wants to meet for coffee and in more detail than text.
You were unsure what to do or answer. You were curious to find out what he could say outside of just texting. You turned to the brothers, maybe they could help you.
"Guys, I just got a text from Alex." You spoke up.
They both quickly snapped their heads towards you. You showed them your phone and watched as they read it. Seto looked angry as he read it.
"I don't know what to do." You said.
"Ignore it and don't meet him." Seto replied coldly.
"He seems apologetic though and it's in public." You replied.
"What if, me and Seto followed you there." Mokuba suggested.
That response caught you and Seto off guard.
"You meet him and me and Seto go in disguise. If anything happens, we'll be right there and no one will recognize us." Mokuba explained.
It sounded like a good plan but would Seto agree? You looked over at him.
"Fine. But as long as we don't stick out." Seto agreed.
"Don't worry! I'm a master at disguises!" Mokuba said proudly.
With that they helped you form a reply. You chose the coffee shop and the time and date. When Alex replied he told you he'd meet you there. With that Mokuba immediately began online shopping for disguises.
