It was a dark, snowy, chilling night, a light blanket of snow covered the ground. The street lamps illuminated the ground, causing the snow to sparkle like tiny crystals, a soft whimper echoed through the dead silent night followed by the sound of a low running engine. His sandy blond hair was wet with melted flakes.

Taking a step up on the porch from the frosted side walk where his car was parked and started, A blond haired boy came bursting in through the front door of the house making his way up to his bedroom, He rubbed his cold hands together to try Aleve the numbness, reaching the door of his room, taking the handle in his hand.

Watching the snow drift and swirl on the wind, a white haired boy sat there with his chin rested in his hand, staring blankly outside form his window, he closed his eyes with a bored sigh, reopening them as he heard footsteps coming close to his room, waiting for whomever was outside his door, a loud knock came upon his door before it was opened to reveal his blond haired partner.

"What are you doing just sitting around for!, aren't you ready to go yet Bakura!" He scrunched up his face an placed his hands on his tan hips, cocking them.

Bakura turned and shot a cold glare at him, getting up from his seat much as he didn't feel like moving

Yeah, I'm ready Marik, geez don't have a bloody cow"

He chuckled and grabbed his usual dark trench coat, shoving his hands into the pockets he walked past Marik, turning to look at him.

"Let's go then"

"Pffffft, FINALLY, you take like, forever fluffy!"

"Fu...Not as long as you do with your makeup, princess" He snickered out into the hallway

He fumed an quickly shouted out the door way into the hall

"I do not! ...uh...Evil beauty like this takes TIME! Kura"

He gave a pout even though Bakura couldn't see it, running up behind the white spiky haired thief

You better be nice today yknow, we're going Christmas shopping Bakura...and besides I SHOULD still be mad at you for what you did.

Putting emphasis on his words, He gave him a smug glare, remembering that he shouldn't even be going to get Bakura any gifts after what'd he'd done, and on his BIRTHDAY too.

Bakura just shrugged as he tried not to listen to Marik senseless rambling, more thinking about what he might be able to steal at this place Marik was dragging him to.

The car ride over was a hellish one, arguments which consisted of yelling, insults threats and various sexual innuendos. Marik had been blathering on about his latest events in a game he'd been playing; this of course Bakura had little interest in listening to.

"Marik! I could bloody careless about you're game, now shut your buggering face!" He shouted and slumped over against the window with an annoyed scowl held in place.

Marik, shocked about how the kitten had responded to his attempt at casual conversation, scowled at his pale lover, annoyed at his terrible attitude, here he was trying to liven things up but NO.

How about you shut your own buggering face Bakura!"

Mine was shut now keep your attention on the road and not me! I don't care about your gaming skills Marik"

It was silent from then on,Marik refusing to speak anymore until they had gotten to Domino's local mall, annoyed an angry at Bakura but he quickly got over it as he found the perfect parking spot right in front of the doors, shutting off the car he opened the door an stood out looking everything over, his good mood returning to him as well as his excitement, Bakura sighed as unfastened his seatbelt, opening his car door an bumping the vehicle next to him, he chuckled at the dent he had made in it,

RA BAKURA!

You better not have damaged our car!" He gave a stern warning glare over at the thief

Keep your belly shirt on! ,... I didn't do anything to ours"

Well...Good! Now let's go inside! He walked over to Bakura's passenger side an grabbed his hand, lacing their fingers together an pulled him along with every step.
