AN: Yay! I got it up on time! I even got up early to write it because I'm busy today :)
Aren't I awesome? ;)
Marik x Malik
It was Christmas morning, and Malik awoke to the sound of distant singing. He yawned, sitting up in bed, and listened.
"I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I neeeeed
I don't care about the presents
Underneath my Christmas treeee"
The Egyptian raised his eyebrows. Who the hell had taught Marik Christmas songs, and when could he kill them? His yami was good at a lot of things…singing wasn't one of them.
"MARIK!" He yelled. "My ears are bleeding!"
The singing became louder as Marik came closer to his hikari's bedroom. He thrust open the door, making a show of singing as loudly as he could, with lots of over the top hand-gestures.
"I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know"
He came at hugged his hikari, who was rendered unable to breathe, and sang the last two lines softly, whispering them in Malik's ear.
"Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is…"
Marik took a deep breathe, making the air whistle past the other blonde's ear. He paused for what Malik could only assume was meant to be dramatic effect, and sang the last word as loudly as his lungs would let him.
"YOUUU!!!"
"Marik!!" the light screamed, pulling away from him. "Are you trying to deafen me!?"
"Merry Christmas, Malik!" he smirked, kissing Malik gently on the cheek. He got up and skipped to the door.
'He's like a child on crack' thought Malik, bewildered.
The yami paused at the door, then ran back and grabbed Malik by the arm, dragging him, kicking and screaming, out the room.
"Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ri-"
"Marik!" both Ishizu and Malik yelled together.
"Shut the hell up!" Malik protested. "Listen to me: you. can't. sing!"
He laughed when Marik pretended to be hurt; blinking his violet eyes and hanging his head.
"Love you reeeally" he cooed, putting tanned arms around his dark's neck.
"Okay," Marik shrugged. "Can we have presents noooooow?"
Malik shared a smile with his sister – this was Marik's first Christmas, so they'd been expecting him to be a little insane, but the yami had outdone himself, as usual.
"I pity Ryou," the blonde muttered to Ishizu. "If Marik's this bad, Bakura must be hell. The idiot tomb robber probably gave Ryou a dead dog wrapped in tinsel and called it a Christmas present."
"Malik!" she hissed. "That's disgusting!"
Her brother simply laughed, going over to his yami and pushing him onto the sofa. He sat down on the dark's knee and leant against his chest, entwining Marik's hand in his own.
Ishizu sighed, giving up on the two blondes.
"Odion!" she called, in the general direction of the kitchen. "The chaos twins want to open their presents, do you want a hand with the breakfast?" (1)
(AN: I haven't got long to write this, and I'm too lazy to think about presents for the entire Ishtar family, so I missed out the present opening scene :P)
Almost an hour later, the Ishtars sat around the Christmas tree, each having had their share of presents. Ishizu had put on a Christmas CD, but, to Malik's relief, Marik didn't seem to know any of the songs on it. Either that or he was just too busy stuffing his face with Belgian truffles.
"Hang on," Marik said, through a mouthful of chocolate. "There's one more present under the tree. I thought everyone had opened theirs…"
All the family looked to the tree and, sure enough, there was one present left underneath it. It was bigger than the others had been, but had been pushed right to the back of the tree so it was virtually unnoticeable.
"Why don't you go check who it's for." Malik suggested, smiling knowingly.
Both Odion and Ishizu gave him a quizzical look as Marik obediently went and checked the name on the tag.
"It's for me!" he said, surprised. The dark dragged the parcel out into the middle of the room and glanced at the tag again. "It doesn't say who it's from…"
"Open it." Malik suggested, grinning now, mostly at the fact that his yami hadn't figured out who the present was from yet.
Marik started tearing at the wrapping paper, not needing to be told twice. He tore away almost half of the paper in one go, revealing a matching red suit and hat, both with fake white fur around the edges.
The spiky-haired Egyptian picked up the suit and stared at it, baffled.
"What…is it?" he asked the room in general.
"It's a Father Christmas suit. You know, Santa." Ishizu answered hm. She picked up a Christmas card from the shelf, showing him a picture.
"Ohh the fat old guy with the beard. The one who eats all the mince pies. With all the reindeers."
"Yes, Marik" Ishizu sighed, but she had a smile on her face. "The fat old guy with the beard."
"Speaking of which, here you go." Malik threw what looked like a white ball of fluff at his yami, who caught it and stared down at it suspiciously.
"A fake beard? So wait…you want me to wear this thing?" He gestured at the suit. "You want me to dress up as some bearded old freak?"
Malik nodded, grinning.
"Huh…okay then" the yami shrugged. He got up, gathering the bright red Santa suit in his arms, and went upstairs to get changed.
"Please don't tell me he's wearing that for Kaiba's party? I may not be going but that doesn't mean I want to two of you to embarrass yourselves." Said Ishizu, looking annoyed.
"Ishizu, lighten up. It's Christmas, no one will care. Besides, I doubt I'd be able to stop Marik wearing it even if I wanted to."
Ishizu opened her mouth to argue, and Malik decided it was time to get away from the fire-breathing dragon quickly.
"Erm…well I have to ring Yugi…I need to check what time the party starts…eh heh"
Malik went to the phone and dialled Yugi's number. He hoped the hikari would answer himself because he didn't feel like wishing Yugi's grandpa or the Pharaoh a merry Christmas. He glanced behind him, nervously. No sign of Ishizu. He breathed out, relieved.
"Hello?" said a voice at the other end of the call. An oddly high pitched voice. Malik smiled to himself – that could only be one person.
"Yugi? It's Malik."
"Hey, Malik. Merry Christmas!"
"Thanks, you tooo." He sang, then grimaced when he realised he sounded a lot like his yami. Except for that fact that Malik could sing…and Marik most certainly couldn't.
"Errr Malik? Have you maybe had a lot of sugar?"
Marik gasped. "I'm hurt! Are you saying I'm not usually insane? Are you?"
"Erm…well…"
"Malik, aren't you meant to be asking when the party starts, not tormenting your friend?" Odion stood over him, raising his eyebrows. Damn he was tall.
The blonde stuck out his tongue, childishly. How come everyone was ganging up on him today? What had he done?
"Fine" he frowned, bringing the phone back to his mouth.
"Hey, Yugi, what time does Kaiba's party start?"
'Happy?' he mouthed to Odion, who nodded, smiling, and went back into the kitchen.
"5pm, he told us all last week."
"Yeah, I know, turns out neither me nor Marik were listening. My bad!"
"Don't worry about it." Malik raised an eyebrow, Yugi was an abnormally nice person. He wasn't sure he liked it.
"Was that the only reason you rang?" Yugi asked.
"Yeaaah…wait, no! Tell Rich Boy we're going to be a little late."
"Wouldn't it have been easier just to ring Kaiba and tell him that? How come, anyway?"
The blonde paused, not having thought about ringing Kaiba. It was probably best anyway because Kaiba was so damn hard to get a hold off, and Malik certainly didn't want to have to talk to the mutt.
"You'll see." He said mysteriously, which he knew wasn't really an answer. He didn't really care.
"Okay then, we'll see you there. Merry Christmas!" Yugi called down the phone.
"MALIK!"
He turned around, spotting his yami coming down the stairs at full speed. He jumped out the way and Marik almost ran straight into the wall instead. The phone wire stretched too far and came out of the wall, cutting the phone off. Malik shrugged, putting the phone down.
The crazed yami lunged at the blonde before he had a chance to move.
"Ho, ho, ho!" he boomed, in a bizarrely creepy voice.
"Marik! Gerroff! You're Santa not a paedophile!"
"Ah, but what if Santa is a paedophile?"
Malik looked at him oddly, raising his eyebrows.
"Santa is not a paedophile." He insisted, speaking slowly and clearly.
"That's what YOU think" Marik grinned, pushing his hikari to the ground. He sat on top of him, the light's hips in between Marik's legs.
"M-Marik! What are you- ?"
"Merry Christmas, hikari." The dark purred, pressing his lips to Malik's.
AN: There you have it! Part two! I don't think that was bad considering I'm on a time limit :D
(1) I may have stolen that name (the chaos twins, not Odion ;) ) from another fanfic…if so, thank you to that person, whoever you may be ^_^
Unless they're called that a lot…I need to read more fanfiction :P
Disclaimer: I don't own All I Want For Christmas Is You, nor do I own Jingle Bell Rock. I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh either...if I did I'd be rich ;)
I think I'm going to be able to get all the chapters up on time…except maybe the Christmas day one. Never mind, I don't suppose it matters ^_^
Review if you liked this chapter, or even if you didn't! I like reviews, they make me happy :D 3
