Where are you now?

It had been not one week, not two weeks, not three weeks, but four whole weeks since Bakura had left Marik's council. The blond had grown extremely depressed, everyone had noticed it.

Rex had given Marik one of his spell cards, Weevil had taken him to a theme park (inviting Rex of course). Pegasus had taken him to see the Spice Girls musical, viva forever. Zorc had taken him backstage of the suite life of Zorc and Cody. Rebecca had brought him some sweets, but none of these attempts had made Marik even smile.

After the second week people stopped coming to the evil council. Seeing their friend sad was horrible. They were also missing a certain albino, but not as much as Marik.


Marik was sitting in his living room, drinking. The Egyptian had taken to drinking after the first week. All the Steves had gone out on their patrols looking for Bakura. There was a knock on the door. Marik stumbled towards it.

He opened it to reveal his partner in crime. Bakura gave the blond a look.
"Marik," he said. "Have you... Have you been drinking?" Marik nodded.
"I've been waiting for you. For three whole frigging weeks! And now, now you come home?!" Marik raged.

"Marik, I get it. You're angry, but you're also drunk." Bakura reasoned. "I got a phone call from Pegasus. I came straight away." Marik looked at Bakura.
"You're not really here! You're just a hallucination! I'm going to wake up and you're going to be out somewhere with Dartz! Eating pizza!" Marik muttered.

He tried to shut the door on the Brit, who stopped him.
"Marik, I'm real. No let me in, you drunk bastard!" Marik stopped.
"It is you!" The blond exclaimed. "Oh Fluffy!" He flung his arms around Bakura. Bakura smirked.

"And what happened to 'I'm 100% straight'." He grinned.
"Shut up Kitty!" Marik snuggled into Bakura's shoulder, the Brit wrapped his pale arms around the tanned male.
"I knew you liked me."
