This is not as cracky as it could be. But it counts, in a vague sort of way. It is also longer than a drabble. But I am Not Good at concise.

Seto Kaiba has all he needs. He has his dragons, his company, and his brother. And he has his coat – his armor against the world. His coat is a bit stained at the edges, and there’s a seam or two that needs fixing, but he won’t replace it or let anyone else fix it. It is his, his protection against people who think he’s weak or easily threatened – and, for that matter, a bullet or two over the years.
It’s protected him, become a part of his identity and his life. It is one of the few constants in a life constantly racing to the next goal, the next mile marker away from who he used to be. He should probably throw it away, or at least change the style a bit. But it’s been loyal to him, and Kaiba respects loyalty.
His coat has done more for him than most people. It, he supposes, deserves a bit of care and something perhaps like affection. It’s taken care of him, so he’ll take care of it. Kaiba pays his debts.
(end)
I think that was about as far as I could go without it getting a bit crude. (and I'd really rather not) Does that satisfy your prompt, though?

But that means he's cheating on his briefcase!
