The summer heat beats down on Marik his spiky blonde hair matted down with sweat "For the love of Ra, why the hell does it have to be so bloody hot!" he whines pulling off his lavender tank top. Sweat glistens on his sun kissed skin as he props himself on his shoulder looking over at Bakura who was checking his email. "Bakura-kuuuuun!" Marik says with a slight whine "Let's go to the beach, pleeease?" Bakura turns around his long silvery hair and pale skin gleaming under the sun and smiles "Alright Marik, if it will get you to stop whining I'll gladly go to the beach with you." He says letting his British accent slip in. Marik hops up and hugs his friend "Thank you Bakura!" he squeals shoving his shirt back on. A light blush creeps over Bakura's face as he logs off of his email, today was going to be a long day.

"Oh my-for the love of Ra, Marik!" Bakura says refusing to leave the dressing room. "Oh come on Bakura! I wanna see how you look! I've never seen you in a swimsuit before!" Marik pleads from outside. Bakura sighs and blushes as he opens the door gingerly. Marik smiles and pulls his friend outside "See, you look great!" he says looping his arm in Bakura's. He looks over and notices the small blush on his friends cheeks and his smile widens "Ne Bakura~" he purrs, an idea forming in his head. "Can we get some ice cream before we swim?" he asks. Bakura sighs "Sure, what flavor?" he asks. Marik giggles "I'll get it, you like vanilla right?" he says with a mischievous smile "Yeah." Bakura says mistaking it for a regular smile. Marik skips off to the ice cream stand while Bakura looks over at the ocean, its deep blue waves refreshing. "I'm back!" Marik says. Bakura looks at his friend confused "You didn't want one?" he asks. Marik grins "No silly~ we're sharing!" he says. Bakura blushes a deep scarlet "B-but, Marik!" Bakura stutters. Marik laughs "Oh come on, it's just ice cream! Plus it saves money!" he says playing the Good Samaritan.

Bakura reluctantly licks the melting treat, the sugary treat cool under his tongue. Marik smiles and starts to lick the treat, aware of the stares they were getting from people. Some girls walk by blushing at giggling at the two boys which in turn has a domino effect making Bakura and Marik blush as well. After a few minutes the two manage to finish and dump the cone "Silly Bakura you have some on your cheek!" Marik says leaning in. He licks away the small drop of ice cream from Bakura's face and giggles. Bakura blushes again "M-Marik! That was inappropriate, people are watching and they might-"he says before Marik cuts him off with a chaste kiss. Marik pulls away after a minute with a slight blush on his own cheeks "They might what?" he asks crawling on to Bakura's lap. A crowd of girls had gathered around them their faces eager, some of them we jotting down stuff on to notepads, and others blushing at the two boys. Marik pulls Bakura's chin up to face him "Ne, Bakura-chan~" he prompts ghosting his lips over his friends, if you could call them that now. Bakura's eyes were wide and his face still reddening "…Think we're together." He says. Marik smiles and wraps one of his arms around Bakura's waist and the other on the pulling their faces together again.

~Oh today was going to be long indeed~
