No, My Last Name Isn't Kaiba (Seto Kaiba X Reader)

Seven

"Explain this picture!"

"We'd just been dancing, okay? I stepped too hard on my foot and my ankle twisted. He was making sure I was good," you replied, touching Jade's phone screen lightly.

She took a deep breath and flicked to the next article. "And this one?"

"Helping me up the stairs."

Jade sighed happily. "A true gentleman!"

You thought back to this morning, and Seto's advances. "Yeah, a true gentleman," you said, trying to keep your tone lighthearted. You could still feel his hands on your skin, and you willed the unseen fingerprints to go away.

"So..." Jade giggled, turning off her phone. "Have you kissed him? Is he a good kisser? Have you seen him shirtless? Oh my gosh, have you guys done it?"

She stopped asking questions once she saw the overwhelmed look on your face. It quickly changed to disgust at her last inquiry. "Um, n- yes, I guess, yes, and ew, no!" You hated lying about that stuff, but it would be weird to say that you hadn't kissed Seto when the two of you were supposed to be engaged.

Jade's hand flew to her mouth. "Oh! You asked me before we left how to get rid of dreams that you didn't want! OMG, have you been doing it with Seto Kaiba in your dreams? And more importantly, why in the name of any Egyptian gods would you want to get rid of them? The man could be a flipping supermodel!"

You shrugged, leaning back against the hard wood of the bench. "I don't know, I guess they just make me uncomfortable."

Jade grinned. "Well, keep them. Then I can go after the cute one... What was his name? Yugi Muto! Have you seen these pictures? He's the King of Games around here, and wow, his eyes are so deep!"

You pretended to be interested in the pictures of the boy who was often referred to as Seto Kaiba's rival, but you were actually looking across the park at a boy who, to be honest, was total eye candy. And yeah, Seto's contract said that you weren't allowed to have other relationships outside of his, but that didn't mean you couldn't look at cute boys.

"Hello? Are you even listening?" Jade asked, waving her hand in front of your face.

"I hear you talking, yes," you replied, continuing to stare at the boy.

Jade followed your gaze and gasped. "Y/n, do you know who you're staring at?"

"Yeah, a really cute Japanese boy," you returned.

She cracked up, rolling her eyes. "No, silly, you happen to have noticed Joey Wheeler, the guy who is clearly out to prove that blond people are not dumb and have more fun than the rest of us." She stood, flouncing her hair a little. "Let's go introduce ourselves!"

"Wait!" you tried to tell her, but she grabbed your arm and hauled your butt over to the blond boy, who looked up as you approached.

"Hi!" Jade greeted him enthusiastically. "I've heard of you- you're Joey Wheeler, right?"

Joey nodded, eyes lighting up. "Hey! Yeah, I do happen to be him!" He stood up and held out a hand. "Nice to meet you. You guys Americans?"

"Yep!" Jade chirped excitedly. "I'm Jade Palmieri, and this is my BFF, Y/n L/n! We're students in New York!"

You winced. Jade tended to overshare a whole ton, but this was going overboard. You tended to never say a word about where you were from. It usually led to people saying, "Oh yeah? How's Broadway?"

Joey's reaction was actually very different. "Neat! I'm from Brooklyn, actually." Now that he mentioned it, he did have a strong New Yorker accent. And he was cute. Bonus. He poked his head around Jade to look at you. "So you're the BFF-" he cut himself off as his brain put your face with your name. He stumbled back a couple of steps.
