Mokuba Kaiba was a fairly intelligent child for his age. Intelligent, but still prone to the naivete that all children had when it came to the serious matter of adult relationships. The subject was brought up during a social event where he had lunch and spent most of his afternoon with other children his age from influential families. In other words, a play date for rich kids. Mokuba hated going to these events but knew as vice president of Kaiba Corp, he needed to make nice with the future CEOs and business men/women they would all become. Those with older siblings were particularly important so Mokuba was careful not to shrug them off. Their connection to their siblings was an easy way to get dirt on what was going on in their companies. He was sure they had the same goal in their heads, so he was careful not to be obvious or let slip of any information himself. However, because they were all children from ages 10 to 13, they would leak out info during an unspoken competition on who had the more successful older brother or sister that emerge at each luncheon.
Mokuba would sneer and scoff at the arguments made and waited till the very end when a victor was about to be made. With a single sentence he would wipe the floor with them.
"My brother is Seto Kaiba, CEO of Kaiba Corp since the age of 16."
That was all it took to shut them up and as the years went by it was all that would need to be said. There were a few who challenge his claim by spouting useful info like business deals or money brought in. Mokuba worked around the details of Kaiba Corps dealings and would even walk off not minding the lost since he ended up being the victor in a different way. The other children grew wiser to his act and with a hive mind came up with a way to bring the Kaiba boy down a peg.
"My brother is dating a movie star."
"Well my sister is seeing a prince from another country."
"My sister is engaged to a Duke."
"Ugh! That guy! I feel sorry for their kids since they're gonna end up ugly. Now my brother's fiancé is a looker."
"Ha! As if, my brother's girlfriend is a world class model."
"Hey Mokuba! Who is your brother dating?"
The poor boy didn't know how to answer. It was a fact that his brother chose to be a devoted bachelor. He didn't think Seto had ever been on a date before.
"Doesn't he even have a girl? I thought a successful guy like him would have women throwing themselves at him."
"He does! All the time and it's annoying!" Mokuba said folding his arms.
"So, what's wrong then? Is he gay?"
"No, at least I think not, but even if he was what's the big deal?"
The children sneered at each other as they watch Mokuba lose his ground. "Nothing," replied a boy waving his hand, "That kid from the Nano company has an older brother who is gay and even he has a partner who is rich."
"And successful." Said another boy.
"And good looking." A girl added.
The young Kaiba knew what they were all getting at, but such a thing has never matter before. Seto didn't need a girlfriend. He had him, his younger brother to support him and confide in. The children in the room all became mind readers and knew everything he was thinking. They knew that they would win this round by pointing out that his brother was a loveless workaholic who couldn't get a date.
"How sad for such a successful CEO and to think he was only 16 when he started."
Mokuba growled as he remember their laughter. His brother wasn't loveless, a workaholic sure, but not loveless. He was sure that is Seto wanted a partner he could find one with no problem. One that could love him and do whatever it is adults do. As he sat in the car taking him home from his humiliating defeat, he tried looking out the window and saw couples walking together and going about their daily life. He rolled the window a tad to get a better look at the men. They all seem so happy with their partners that the boy felt a sting of jealousy. They all had something his brother lack. A romantic adult relationship.
