This is weird one. Not sure where it came from. The italics the actual dialogue.

This has a conversation within a converstaion.

:blah: is Malik

-blah- is Ryou

A Malik x Ryou fic.

What goes unsaid+

Everything was quiet as Ryou and Malik sat, gazes down to the floor. Dust in between the floorboards. Swirling patterns on wood.

So, one starts. So. :It's been a month since Battle City.:

The silence is suffocating.

An awkward cough, the uneven breath, a hesitant glance upward. To be meet with another glance. Their eyes lock for a second, brown in lavender, before they break away. The white wall next to them looks nice.

–I know.-

Bakura-kun… :Do you hate me:

Ryou. The voice is a small one. –No.-

Ryou. It is tested out, his tongue rolls around the word for the first time. :I'm sorry.:

A slight nod. –I know.-

How, how are you Ryou? :Really sorry.:

Small smile. Good as ever. They both wince slightly. –Don't worry.-

Lavender looks down. Quiet shuffle of feet, hand touching hand. –I like you.-

Malik looks up. Ryou stares back. Both have a pink tint on their cheeks. Then they have tears and smiles. :I like you too.:

Ryou.

Yes Malik?

Let's go back. :To the begining:

Okay. -From the start.-

Skin against skin, white by brown, smile and smirk.

And they did.
