Hey guys :) This is the beginning of the sequel to "Something About Katie" (you may want to read that first if you haven't already :P)
As it's the beginning it's kind of slow but I kind of thought that this one was in need of a sequel :)
...
...
There was a part of Marik that knew what he was going to find as he walked up the stairs and headed towards Maliks bedroom. But he couldn't stop himself from walking forward and on opening the door, he found he was right.
Malik was in bed, naked. And there was a naked woman lying next to him entangled in the same arms that had held him the night before.
The sound of the door opening caused Malik to stir, he grinned when he saw who it was but this slowly faded when he realised his own situation.
"Marik, I-"
"I guess I'm sleeping in my bed then"
And Marik walked out calmly, quietly closing the door behind him.
…
…
He and Malik had been 'figuring things out' for nearly two months. Considering their relationship beforehand things were going well. They were enjoying each others company and getting to know each other, basically doing all the things they'd been missing out on. And the sex wasn't half bad either.
But despite his growing feelings for the man part of him knew that it wasn't going to last long, Malik was only interested in him because he fell for his female self first...he never was interested in guys...Malik was just having fun.
And after this morning it seemed that he'd had enough, he wanted women after all.
Not him.
…
…
Malik walked down the stairs slowly, dreading the situation he was undoubtedly walking into. He had never intended to cheat (he was an asshole and not exactly one to pull off a successful relationship but he wasn't that bad) but he'd gotten so drunk last night he had no recollection of how it happened or who the bloody woman even was.
He stepped into the kitchen and was surprised to see Marik making breakfast. Just like he always did.
"Um...Marik?"
Marik turned around and gave a small smile but avoided eye contact "Morning, did you sleep okay?"
"What? Yeah fine, listen about-"
"Breakfast won't be long. Where's your friend?"
What the hell was his Hikari Pretty playing at? "She isn't my 'friend' and she's leaving, would you let me-"
"Don't be silly ask her if she wants any breakfast"
Malik couldn't actually think of a reply, he was saved (or not in the case) by whoever the girl was coming into the kitchen "Um...just letting you know I'm going-"
"Do you want some breakfast?"
Her look of shock and confusion mirrored Maliks at the sight of a smile on Mariks face "I don't think that's necessary"
"You must be hungry, and it'll help the hangover"
The girl smiled awkwardly and looked at Malik who was still unresponsive "Thank you, I don't normally get offered anything but violence by the partners of those I sleep with"
Marik smiled "Well we're not in a relationship so it's no problem, eggs?"
"What did you just say?"
The anger radiating off of Malik helped the girl realise that she was in the middle of something quite big and quickly made her exit "Thank you, but I'll leave you two to it"
The kitchen was silent after the door was closed, Malik was still trying to understand what was going on and Marik was serving breakfast "She seemed nice, you could do a lot worse"
"Marik shut up for a minute"
Marik looked up at the hungover man and to his annoyance he felt a pang in his chest. He didn't want things to end up like this, but he couldn't allow himself to fall apart because of him. So whilst he tossed and turned, unable to sleep, he decided he was going to cut off their...well whatever it was, before Malik had another chance to hurt him.
Malik was finding it incredible hard to process his surroundings with the hangover he had "What did you just tell her?"
Marik looked up with an unreadable expression "You heard me"
"I'm asking you to repeat it Hikari Pretty"
He was not impressed when the reaction he got was a slight shrug "We were just messing around. We weren't exclusive we were just...I can't be mad at you"
He was even less impressed with that "Messing around?"
For the first time that morning Marik looked up and into Maliks eyes, they were cold "I don't want to talk about this" He put down the pots and pans and began turning everything off, Malik scoffed "You're not just walking away"
"I said I'm not talking about this"
Malik grabbed his Hikaris arm and pressed him against the kitchen counter "Did it mean anything to you?"
Marik looked up at the man leaning over him, he reached up and caressed his cheek before placing a gentle lingering kiss on his lips, pulling away before Malik could intensify it "I'm going over to Ryous"
And with that the small figure left Maliks arms, leaving him with three helpings of breakfast to get rid of and leaving him utterly confounded.
…
…
As soon as Yugi received Ryous phone call he rushed over, when Ryou opened the door Yugi took note of the worried expression on his face.
"What's happened?"
"I don't know Yugi he just came over, he hasn't said anything"
"Okay let's go" Ryou turned and led him up to his room, where Marik lay on the middle of the bed staring into the ceiling. Slowly Yugi approached the bed and sat next to the sad looking figure "Marik? What happened?"
No answer from him. Ryou climbed on the bed and lay on the opposite side of him, where Yugi poked him in the ribs "Come on...talk"
"...Malik slept with a girl last night..."
Yugi coughed "What?"
"The son of a-"
"What did you do?"
Marik left a small pause before answering "I went to sleep and in the morning I made them both breakfast"
The silence continued until Marik exclaimed in shock as Ryou hit him with a cushion "Ouch Ryou what the-" He was cut off as he was hit again
"You made them BREAKFAST?! What the hell-"
Yugi covered Ryous mouth silencing the spew of anger and climbed in between them "He has a point Marik when you find your boyfriend in bed with another woman you don't feed them"
"You beat the hell out of them"
Yugi pushed Ryou back once again "You have been picking up too many habits from your Yami"
"Yeah well-"
A quiet voice interrupted their arguing "He's not my boyfriend"
They stopped fighting and watched the small figure "You look pretty upset considering he's not your boyfriend"
"Yugi I'm not upset"
Ryou laid down next to him "Well what were you then"
Silence.
"Nothing any more"
Yugi sighed and followed Ryou, stretching out next to Marik. He wasn't sure what to suggest, he knew he'd been stubborn when it came to admitting his feelings for Yami, but he hadn't had to deal with this. "You were seeing each other...that's technically a-"
"We were just meant to figure things out"
"And that doesn't get done whilst one is sleeping with other people" Ryou cut in, Yugi looked at Marik properly "Marik? How do you actually feel about this?"
"Wow Yugi are you a psychiatrist?"
"Ryou would you-"
"I don't know"
The bickering stopped as they looked at the still figure between them, never had they seen him so...well...heart broken. A silent conversation passed between the two friends, expressing their concern. When they found out that Malik had met Katie they had not expected things to end up like this. And they didn't know what to do.
"Ryou...can I stay here for a few days?"
Ryou reached over and hugged the pitiful figure "Yeah"
…
…
"What's up with him?" Bakura questioned as he shrugged off his coat and threw it in the corner. Yami sighed and picked it up, hanging it up instead.
"I don't know, he came in this morning after Yugi went running out, mumbled something about Marik and three breakfasts and flopped down on my sofa"
Bakura walked over and prodded the still Malik causing him to groan "What's up psycho?"
"Don't poke me I'm full"
Yami strolled over to join Bakura in front of the groaning figure "You came over to my house...because you're full?"
"I ate three breakfasts leave me alone"
"What the hell Malik?"
Malik rolled over and faced Bakura "How drunk was I last night?"
"Unbelievably so, why?"
"Because I woke up with a naked woman in my bed that's fucking why"
Malik yelled as Yami smacked him around the head "You cheated on Marik?"
"Well according to him we weren't together so it wasn't cheating"
"He knows?"
"He walked in to come to sleep and found her with me"
Bakura laughed and pushed Malik up so he could sit down too "That sucks"
"He doesn't even care!"
"Well of course he'll say that he doesn't want to admit you hurt him. You're as bad as each other" Bakura looked down as his phone rang and went off into the other room to answer it, Yami looked at Malik confused.
"Wait where do the breakfasts come into this?"
Malik threw his hands up in frustration "My insane Hikari made breakfast for me, the girl and himself but they left me with it"
Yami shook his head "Why did you stay behind to eat it why didn't you chase after him"
"You didn't see the look in his face he doesn't want anything to do with me any more"
Bakura came back in to hear this last sentence "You got that right, you really screwed up Malik"
Yami and Malik look up questioningly "What-"
"Your Hikari won't be coming home for a few days it seems"
Malik bent over, head in his hands.
What the hell should he do to make this better.
