AN: A few weeks ago I found a long, long list of all the Yugioh shippings. Most of them creeped me out, but some of them intrigued me at the same time, so i decided to write my way through a load of them.

This is going to be a long list of one-shots in alphabetical order for the name of the shipping, and will take me a LONG time. Oh and I'll mostly be using the character's dubbed names, but I'm calling the Yamis and Hikaris Bakura, Ryou, Marik, Malik, Yami and Yugi because I hate calling them 'Yami Marik' etc. etc.

I'm obviously going to do puppyshipping, tendershipping, puzzleshipping and bronzeshipping, but if there is a particular pairing (or threesome or whatever) that you want me to write about, even if i've already gone past that letter, then tell me :)

Ideas are welcome (and needed) because my list as it stands is 79 different shippings and I can't make up a story for all of them! Oh dear. Why did i do this? Help!?

This took me almost four hours. I don't know why, but it did. I should have been writing the page of French that's due in in two days, or the essay or Quarries I have to do for Chemistry, or planning my English essay that counts for 8% of my GCSE, or even revising for my maths exam, but instead I wrote this. So reviews would make me happy. Very, very happy. Hint hint ;)

Angstshipping – Malik x Ryou

Ryou jumped when the bell rang to signal the end of the school day. The rest of his class sighed happily – school finished early on Friday – and started talking loudly about their plans for the weekend. Joey and Tristan were trying to persuade Tea that the latest horror film at the cinema wasn't really that scary; even Yugi was going to see it with them.

"Hey, Ryou!" Yugi called across the now half empty classroom. "You want to come see Rise Of The Enemy with us tonight?" -1

Ryou shook his head. "No thanks, Yugi, horror films aren't really my thing and...I have that maths exam to revise for anyway." He was glad Yugi was so trusting, or he might not have believed the lie. Then again, most people thought Ryou was a scaredy-cat who couldn't handle a horror film, but what with having spent a lot of the past couple of years being controlled by an evil spirit, the werewolves and zombies on the big screen seemed positively friendly to him.

Yugi shrugged. "Okay, I'm sure we can do something Saturday though." He said brightly. Ryou groaned silently - didn't this guy ever give up? – but agreed to the offer. He would just have to make up some excuse tomorrow.

As much as he wanted to be able to spend some time just hanging out and having fun with Yugi and his friends, he knew there was little point. He'd tried to fit in with them, but Joey and Tristan still thought of him as the psycho with two personalities, one of which had joined forces with the embodiment of evil and tried to destroy the world.

Tea was alright, but she spent most of her time flirting with the totally oblivious Yugi and didn't talk to anyone else much.

Yugi was the only one who really accepted Ryou as a normal person, but all he ever seemed to want to do was play Duel Monsters and couldn't understand why Ryou wouldn't duel him. The fact was that, other than not wanting to get his ass kicked royally by the King of Games, Ryou was only an amateur – it was Bakura who'd had all the duelling skills. And duelling held no good memories for him.

Really, he thought as he walked towards the school gates with Yugi talking non-stop in his ear, there only seems to be one person who ever understood me properly. And he's in Egypt right now.

How unfair was his life for him to only have the one real friend? He couldn't even talk to his family because the only family he had was always away with work. He missed his father terribly, but couldn't have talked to him about it anyway. No, the only member of his family he could have talked to died just after he moved to Domino.

He blinked back tears as he thought of his twin sister. Oh Amane, I miss you.

His thoughts were interrupted by Yugi elbowing him in the ribs. His pail face took on a pink tinge; he hadn't listened to a word Yugi had said, he must have noticed Ryou hadn't been answering.

But Yugi wasn't looking at Ryou, he was looking towards the school gates, where a blonde, tanned Egyptian teenager was leaning against the gate, wearing dark skinny jeans, a white t-shirt, a black jacket and his usual eight tons of gold jewellery.

"Malik!" Ryou cried, both surprised and thrilled to see him. The blonde turned when he heard his name and grinned, waving. Ryou half ran over to him, wrapping his arms tightly around his friend's waist.

Malik laughed. "I need to breathe, you know!"

Ryou smiled, but reluctantly released his tight grip.

The blonde cocked his head to one side, looking at Ryou like he was considering something.

Then he smiled and leaned in very close to his surprised friend.

"I've missed you." He murmured, before grinning like a shark and kissing Ryou hard on the lips.

Ryou let out a surprised yelp and took a step backwards, but then relaxed and kissed back, his hand finding its' way into Malik's hair.

Malik pulled back, chuckling, to look around at Yugi, who had stopped a few feet away, gaping at them.

"Good to see you, Yugi. " He smirked, hand reaching for Ryou's.

"I...err...you...he...what" Yugi spluttered incoherently.

Ryou rolled his eyes slightly, they'd kissed not turned into aliens!

Malik gave up on the pointy-haired teen and turned to Ryou. "You aren't busy tonight, right?"

"I-"

"Good, we're going on a date." He announced, dragging Ryou's hand, whether he stayed attached to it or not, away from the school, leaving Yugi to stare at them across the street.

"Malik, stop!" Ryou begged, digging his heels into the ground with little effect.

The blonde obeyed, stopping and turning, his violet eyes meeting Ryou's brown ones.

"Uhh..." Ryou faltered, his boyfriend's eyes momentarily making him forget why they had stopped. He blinked. "W-why are you here?" He realised how that sounded and corrected himself. "Why aren't you in Egypt?"

"Egypt doesn't hold too many happy memories for me, Ryou." He said solemnly, "I wanted to get away from there as fast as possible. I transferred to Domino High so I could be with my friends. With you."

Ryou stared at him for a second – he'd rarely heard his boyfriend so serious. "Malik..."

His grin returned, "I start school on Monday, so we may as well make use of the weekend while we can." He winked cheekily and proceeded to drag the paler teen towards the main streets of the city.

After hours of running from shop to shop, spending ridiculous amounts of money because Malik claimed he had 'left all his clothes in Egypt' (Ryou suspected that they were at least two wardrobes full of clothes wherever it was Malik was staying, but he insisted that he had more than enough money for everything and Ryou wasn't going to spoil their fun), the two of them got a table in an almost full Italian restaurant in the centre of Domino.

They dumped all their bags by their feet and picked up a menu each.

"Get whatever you want; three courses if you want it. I'm paying."

"Malik! No way, you already bought me a load of stuff, I should be paying for this..."

"Not a chance." Malik insisted, shaking his head firmly.

"Where are you getting all this money?" Ryou asked curiously, giving up on his stubborn boyfriend. As far as he knew he didn't have a job, and Ishizu wasn't likely to have given him more than a little money for food and lodging.

He smiled smugly. "The Rare Hunters didn't just go around trying to kill Yugi for me you know." He laughed. "You'd be amazed how much money you can make from selling rare cards, and I've still got thousands - way more than Yugi, probably more than even Kaiba has."

Ryou didn't miss than Malik glossed over the finer details, and he was glad about it; he didn't want to know exactly what the Rare Hunters had done to get all those cards and all that money.

"Okay, but we can't go around spending money like this all the time you know."

"Of course not, I'm not stupid! I know what I'm doing, I haven't been living underground you know...well not recently anyway."

Ryou smiled, he wasn't sure Malik knew how to be serious, but he loved him the way he was - he wouldn't be Malik if he were any different.

They both ordered the tomato pasta, and caught up on everything that had happened since they had last seen each other. The last time they'd seen each other being when they got together after the Pharaoh had gone to the afterlife and all the saving-the-world drama had ended. -2

"You don't seem very happy." Malik commented bluntly, spearing a piece of pasta on the end of his fork.

"What? Of course I'm happy! This is the happiest I've been in ages!"

Malik looked up from his pasta, raising an eyebrow. "I don't mean right this second, I mean in general. That's precisely my point; 'this is the happiest I've been in ages'.

Ryou went pink, but didn't deny it.

"When was the last time you were happy, Ryou?" his partner asked softly from across the table.

He swallowed, it sounded like a rhetorical question, but he knew Malik well enough to know it wasn't. "Excluding the time I've spent with you, not since my sister died. Not since I came to Domino. Not since...not since I got the Millennium Ring." He admitted, talking very fast and avoiding Malik's eyes.

Malik put down his fork and, ignoring the odd looks he got from the other diners, went and hugged Ryou tightly, tears prickling in his own eyes.

"I know the feeling, but at least I always had someone. You didn't...but you do now."

Ryou buried his face in his boyfriend's chest. "I love you"

"I love you too, but people are staring, can I go eat my pasta now?" Ryou giggled at the sudden change in mood and let go. Malik was the one person who could always cheer him up.

The conversation relaxed and they spent the rest of the evening talking and laughing with no mention of their yamis or their childhoods.

Once Malik had paid for their meal - after many protests from Ryou – the two teens and their shopping bags made their way to Malik's new apartment.

Ryou shivered as they walked along the dark streets. The street lights ended and he moved closer to Malik as they carried on through the pitch black night.

"You cold?" The blonde asked, shrugging off his jacket.

"I'm f-fine M-Malik." He insisted through chattering teeth. "You're f-from Egypt, you must be f-freezing!"

Malik shook his head, handing Ryou his jacket. He hesitated but took it gratefully.

When they reached the poorly lit entrance to Malik's new home, he paused with his hand an inch from the door handle.

"You sure you want to stay here tonight?"

Ryou nodded, shivering too much too speak.

Malik shrugged, unlocking the door. "It's a bit off a tip, I only moved in yesterday."

They stepped inside and Malik locked the door and turned on the light. Ryou gasped; you couldn't see the floor for all the boxes stacked all around the room!

"What is all this stuff?"

"Cards mostly, but a lot of it's my stuff."

I guess he didn't leave all his stuff in Egypt after all. Ryou thought, never having believed the blatant lie.

"Want me to help you unpack? If I'm sleeping on the sofa it could be difficult with boxes all over the floor."

Malik smiled to himself; Ryou was such a perfectionist, he probably couldn't stand all the mess.

"Uhh sure, if you want. We can put all the cards in that room on the left, and I'll sort out the clothes. That should clear up a lot of space." He picked up a heavy box and moved towards the small storage room. "But I wasn't planning on either of us sleeping on the sofa."

He left Ryou to stare at him and went to start unpacking the cards, a small smirk working its' way onto his face.

Two hours of unpacking cards, clothes, CD's and everything else Malik owned later, the two of them collapsed onto the large double bed, exhausted.

Ryou glanced at the digital clock and groaned – it showed 00:43.

"Can we go to bed now?" He asked sleepily, stifling a yawn.

"Mmn" Malik moaned, face buried in a pillow.

Ryou laughed, grabbing another pillow and hitting his boyfriend with it.

Malik sat up, suddenly wide awake.

"This. Means. War."

He leapt up with the grace of a cat and started pummelling Ryou with his pillow. He squealed and grabbed onto Malik, who lost his balance and toppled off the bed, dragging Ryou with him.

The paler teen landed on top of his boyfriend with a crash. He froze, heart beat rapidly, and looked down into shining violet eyes.

"You really are keen."

Ryou blushed, "Shut up, Malik."

"Gladly," came a slightly muffled reply as Malik kissed his boyfriend roughly.

"I've missed you..."

AN: -1 I couldn't think of a horror film so I made one up ^_^

-2 They had tomato pasta because I'm unoriginal and couldn't think of a better meal, plus I'm vegetarian and didn't want them eating meat xD

Hope you liked that ending :D I'll leave it up to you to decide what happens next ;)

Let me know what pairings you want me to write and I'll do it!
