♡The Bet

Title: The Bet
Setting: Duel Monsters Arena

"Unbelievable!"
Tristan was stunned.
The 3 friends looked up to the arena.
In awe of what Joey just did:

He won a duel against Kaiba.
Seto Kaiba.

"Unbelievable.", he mumbled again.

"What are you saying now, moneybags?!
Whose place is on his knees now? Huh? Huh?"

"Maybe you shouldn't provoke him anyways, Joey...",
Yugi noted worryingly.

Joey didn't listen:
"Now come over here and apologize to me and my friends, Prick!"

Kaiba still was too shocked to answer properly.
He was staring at the center of the arena.
Eyes wide open.

It took him quite some time to regain his posture.

He shook his head in disbelieve:
"You were just lucky I wasn't taking this seriously, Mutt."
"You should've!", Joey answered with his tongue sticking out.

"Whatever."
Kaiba pressed the little elevator button and was about to leave.

"Stop!"
Kaiba was rolling his eyes: "What now?"

"Have you forgotten our bet?
It's pay- time, Baby!"

"Fine, I am sorry.
May I leave now?"

"No, no, no, no, no.
We agreed that the loser has to do something embarrassing!"
"This WAS embarrassing.
Anyways: If that's supposed to the price for winning, I feel like the winner all the time, since you're embarrassing yourself on a daily basis anyways even without any duels being necessary."

"He is kind of right, to be fair...", Tristan added.

"Yeah yeah, whatever.
Don't think I'll let you off the hook this easily!"

"What are you going to do, if I just leave? Cry? Howl?"
"Don't you dare! I always followed through with what we betted on!
I even licked your damn shoes!"

Kaiba turned around, looking annoyed as always:
"Yeah, that's admittedly a nice memory.
So, what do you want?
Speak.
No, bark it, Wheeler."

"Hmm... You could call me 'your majesty' for a week or something.
Or be my slave..."

Kaiba held his index finger up and clicked his tongue:
"Na na, Wheeler. You were the one insisting that it's only one little thing and can't last over a longer period of time when I suggested the very same..."
"Right..."
"...Because you knew how unrealistic it was for you to win in the first place."

"He has a point, to be fair...", Tristan threw in again.
Nodding with his eyes closed.

"Hey! I obviously did!
So shut the fuck up!
Both!"

"How much longer do I need to stay here?
Just think of something already, so I can get it over with quickly."
"Yeah yeah... Don't rush me!"
"I don't have the whole day to spare.
There's a company I have to manage, as you probably know."

"Then help me think...
What would be most embarrassing for a selfish, arrogant, stuck up prick like you..?"
"You don't really expect me to answer to that... do you?
Hurry up. I am getting bored."

When Joey couldn't think about anything Kaiba sighed:
"And you wanted me to obey you for a whole week when you can't even come up with one simple thing to begin with?"

"He has a po...", Tristan just wanted to state again, when Joey looked at him furiously.

Meanwhile Kaiba turned around to leave again:
"Just tell me via Mail.", he waved.
