Hello guys, it's me again ^. ^ I hope you all enjoyed my first fan fiction "Confession." Well if you did good news. I'm brining you Malik's point of view. So engjoy!

Disclaimer: Believe me when I say that I do NOT own Yu-gi-oh! I wish I DID though…

The Plan

My name is Malik Ishtar. I attend the Domino high school. My best friend is Ryou Bakura. I find myself zoning out and staring at him in school. His white and pale skin makes him so adorable. Sometimes when he's talking…I find myself staring into those gorgeous brown depths.

"…lik. Malik!" I heard someone hiss. I turn my head to the right of my desk where Yugi was sitting trying to get my attention.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Damn Yugi. He can always sense when I'm not paying attention or when something's wrong. He can pretty much sense everything. I stayed quiet for a while.

Maybe I should tell him. It's better to talk to someone about this then to keep it locked up.

"Uhm…I'll tell you after class." I whispered.

15 Minutes Later

"Okay, Malik. What's up?" Yugi asked me in the classroom after everyone filed out for lunch. How was I even supposed to tell him something like this? Well…better just come straight out and tell him.

"Okay, Yugi." Deep breath, "I think…that maybe…I like…Ryou." Wow…that was humiliating.

Yugi just stares at me wide eyed for a moment. I thought he was gonna run away. Why? I don't know why. Then he jumped up and down with glee. His eyes closed and his hands clapping together.

"Oh Malik! That's so cute!" He stopped jumping and looked at me with seriousness in his eyes. "Does Ryou know?" He arched an eyebrow.

I shook my head.

"Well…you should tell him." After those words…something clicked in my head.

"Malik? Why does your face look so evil, like you're being…possessed?" Yugi looked a little frightened.

I stopped and looked at Yugi for a moment. "Hey…lets play truth or dare after school today. We can get Tristan, Duke, Kaiba, Joey, and Yami in on what I have planned."

"And…what exactly do you have planned, Malik?"

I whispered in Yugi's ear. Telling him that we will tell the others 'bout my little crush on Ryou and if he says 'truth' Yugi asks him if he likes me. If he picks dare…well…lets not talk about that.

Yugi's eyes grew as so did his grin. "Sounds good to me!"

We reached the lunchroom; finding everyone already eating lunch.

"Hey, guys." I took my seat next to Ryou.

"Hey, where were you two?" Yami asked.

Yugi and I just looked at each other. "Oh well…you know." Yami placed his arm around Yugi's shoulders, waiting for him to go on. "Malik and I had to stay after class to finish up our essay."

It didn't seem like Kaiba or Yami believed him, but everyone else seemed to.

You're probably wondering why a cold heartless rich boy is sitting with us. Well, he's not as cold and heartless as you think; he's actually dating Joey Wheeler. Yup, that's right. He still tends to call Joey a mutt, but I think he likes it.

Yami and Yugi have been together for about two years now. At least they finally got through that stage touching each other in public.

And Tristan and Duke haven't been together that long.

Ryou and I…well…we're single.

"You try and get Ryou away from us and I'll let everyone in on it." Yugi told me after lunch. We were behind the others, just out of earshot. I nodded.

I took one of my gold earrings out of my ear and threw it behind me in the cafeteria.

"Hey Ryou." Ryou turned around to look at me with that adorable goofy smile on his face.

"I uhm…lost my earring in the cafeteria. Help me find it?"

"Of course."

I heard Yugi snicker. Yeah well…I bet you couldn't have thought of anything better.

"The plan is set." Yugi whispered as he walked by me to his last period.

I sighed in relief. All I needed was to get through my last period, meet Ryou at his locker, and we walk past-rather up to Yugi's house- and then…well…you know!

"Ryou lets go already!" I yelled by the school doors. (His locker was right by there).

"I'm coming Malik, I'm coming!" He slammed his locker door shut and rushed toward me.

"So what are we gonna do today?" I asked wiggling my eyebrows. I couldn't make it obvious to him about the plan even though he was such a dummy sometimes. (AN: I don't really think Ryou is a dummy. I love him ^. ^)

Ryou just rolled his eyes.

I was getting even more nervous now that we were reaching Yugi's house.

"Hey!" My heart did a flip when I saw Yugi and the others. This was it. It's getting closer by the second.

We made our way up to Yugi's bedroom to get out truth or dare game on. I could tell that Ryou didn't want to play but tuff luck for him.

"Okay…I'll go first." Yugi called out.

I looked at him nervously…for one, because I didn't know if he was gonna ask Ryou first which would probably make it obvious. And two because who knew what Yugi would make anyone do. He's not as innocent as he looks.

"Kaiba…truth or…dare?"

Kaiba smirked and just said dare. He thinks he's such a hot shot. Well Yugi, let's see what kind of dare you got up your sleeve.

"Okay…mmm…I dare you to…slap Tristan's butt." I almost snorted when Kaiba's mouth dropped in shock.
Haha! Go Yugi!

I almost snorted again when Kaiba said, "I forbid doing that." Not so tough now, huh rich boy?

I wanted to burst out laughing when Kaiba said he was leaving. Didn't want to do the fuckin' dare I see.

The CEO grabbed his boyfriend who spoke, "But I wanna-"

The last words we heard from Kaiba was, "No, you don't. So just shut up or no fun tonight."

Tristan, Duke, Yami, Ryou, and I all shook our heads in agreement when Yugi said he was a pussy.

"Alright…Ryou." I shot my head up at Yugi when he said Ryou's name. This was it. My heart was pounding so fast. "Truth or dare?"

Pick truth, pick truth! I pleaded in my head.

"Uhhhh…..truth?"

Yes!

But wait, Malik…maybe he doesn't even like you. That other voice in my head spoke to me, but I just ignored it. We'd find out after he answers.

Everyone seemed to give Ryou an evil look, smirks plastered to their faces, and I could tell that he looked confused. At least that's what it looked like to me.

"Okay, Ryou. Answer this honestly. Do you Ryou Bakura, like Malik Ishtar?"

Okay, I said my heart was beating fast before, right? Well now it was doing flips! I couldn't find myself to look at Ryou or anyone else so I just looked at the floor. I found myself drifting away from the others as my own thoughts started suffocating me.

Does he like me? Why is he stalling? Maybe he'll only like me as a friend. Well…a best friend. Oh God, come on!

"Well..." was the only answer we got so far. It seemed like Ryou was out of it now.

I looked at the others who looked at me and we all shrugged. That's when Duke walked over to Ryou and stood in front of him.

"Ryou! Hey, you there buddy?"

That's when I heard it. Those words…that's sweet words.

"Yes! I do!" I was so happy but that faded when Ryou slapped his mouth shut.

Did he not want to like me? Was he keeping it a secret because he hated liking me more than a friend?

I just stared at my best friend who stared back.

I could hear Yugi in the background cheering; saying that he knew that Ryou liked me.

"I got to go!" Ryou screamed and he quickly sat up from the chair that he sat in-knocking it over- and he ran out the door.

"Wow Malik…I'm sorry." Yugi apologized placing a hand on my shoulder.

"No…it's okay. It's not your fault." I gave a fake smile at the others. I could tell that Yugi and Yami didn't buy it. "Lets just play duel monsters, kay?" Everyone nodded. I had to get my mind off Ryou, the way he ran out like that…it just…well…it just hurt.

Well...that plan sure didn't work out the way I planned.

Review please! And tell me what you think. The next chapter will be up soon, I swear! Thanks for reading ^. ^
