Ryou: *Sighs and turns to readers* Please enjoy the hidden chapter now known as chapter three
Morning came around to early, jolting out of bed and dashing quickly into the bathroom right across the hall Ryou leant over the porcelain bowl of the toilet and threw up once again. Tears filling his eyes as he clenched his stomach while trying to pull his hair out of his way as he gagged on air and started dry reaching, hearing footsteps walking towards the bathroom Ryou stilled and paled as he felt his head banging and his throat burned
"Ryou where the fuck are you!? I want my damned breakfast!" came the cold dark voice of Bakura, though upon hearing the word 'Breakfast' Ryou leant back over the porcelain bowl and started throwing up again. Hearing the sound of the younger teen gagging and choking Bakura looked into the bathroom to see Ryou once again leaning over the toilet throwing up, groaning lowly he walked over to Ryou and pulled his hair back as he started rubbing the boys back. Ryou shivered and trembled as he started once again dry reaching as the tears streamed down his cheeks, hearing a deep sigh he was suddenly pulled of the floor and pulled into the masculine chest of his Yami bridal style and carried back to his room. Tears still falling down Ryous cheeks Bakura sighed as he again walked into Ryous bedroom and placed the boy down on the bed and looked at him, sighing he left the bedroom and returned shortly after with another damp cold cloth and the first aid kit. Setting the first aid kit on the bedside table Bakura sat beside Ryou and placed the cloth over his forehead as he brushed several strands of his long silky hair out of his face, noticing Ryou relaxing slightly to his touch Bakura sighed and looked at Ryous tee-shirt noticing blood seeping through, "Ryou I'm going to take your tee-shirt off, you've bleed through from the bandages" Bakura said as he pulled his pocket knife from his trousers and started cutting at the smaller teens tee-shirt carefully removing it as his eyes fixed on the damage he had caused the smaller male. Sighing again Bakura slowly started removing each of the bandages as cold air brushed over the still slightly open wounds as Ryou flinched and cried out in pain, rolling his eyes Bakura reached for the first aid kit and opened it looking for the anti-septic cleanser
"It's...In t-the c-cupboard...a-above the s-sink...B-Bakura-Sama"
"Why is it in there? No don't answer that" Bakura replied as he stood up and sauntered out of the bedroom and into the bathroom where he opened the bathroom cupboard that was attached to the wall above the sink and retrieved the cleanser and the remaining bandages as he sighed deeply, heading back into Ryous room he watched as the smaller of the two tried to drag himself out of bed wincing in pain as he did so, "Would you just lay the fuck down"
"B-But...I h-have to m-make breakfast...and go t-to school..." Ryou whispered weakly as he fell forward, Bakura groaned dashing forward and grabbing the boy quickly and holding him in place for several seconds before carefully pushing the boy back into bed and laying him down
"No you are staying in fucking bed, Why can't you do as your fucking told?" Bakura hissed as he sat over the boys waist and started cleaning up his blooded torso and then sat holding the boy down as cool air got to the cuts, "Stay put I mean it Yadonushi, if you even think about leaving this spot I will kick the shit out of you" with his words hissed Bakura climbed off the bed and glanced at time before leaving the boys bedroom, he then sauntered along the hallway and ran his fingers through his hair in exasperation as he walked down the stairs and headed to the phone, picking up the receiver he dialled in Ryous schools number and sighed deeply, "Hello I am calling on behalf Ryou Bakura...I'm his brother Touzukou Bakura...Yes I am ringing to let you know he won't be in today...he was up all night puking and is complaining of server stomach cramps...yes I have a doctor coming out to take a look at him...Monday he should be back...yeah thank you...goodbye" Bakura groaned as he put the phone down and stared into the kitchen, he then looked back at the phone and decided to make one more call before returning to Ryou
"Hello Ishtar Residence Marik speaking"
"Marik its Bakura, do me a favour drag that useless boyfriend of yours and your own arse round mine. I'm starving and Ryous in bed ill"
"What happened?" Marik asked suddenly waking up from his sleeping daze
"Not a clue, he threw up last night and done it again this morning, he in bed but he won't let me cook because of what happened last time. Now get over here!"
"Yeah sure give us twenty minutes"
"See you then" Bakura said hanging up as he gathered the only bowl in the kitchen that lived under the sink that was used for when either himself or Ryou got sick. Growling lowly Bakura sauntered back towards the stairs and back up to Ryous bedroom, when he got their Ryou was laying on his back with a hand on his stomach and his free arm covering his eyes. Sighing again Bakura walked over to the boys side and placed the bowl down on the floor as he pulled out the items he needed from the first aid kit and sat across the boys waist again and looked down at him, rolling his eyes he slowly started wrapping the boys wounds again after once again cleaning up any leaking wounds. Feeling his stomach tighten Bakura groaned as Ryou lowered his arm from his eyes and stared up at his Yami
"B-Bakura-Sama?"
"What?"
"T-thank y-you" Ryou whispered weakly as he slowly closed his eyes, Bakura sighed and carefully moved some of the stray strands of the boys hair away from his face as he finished wrapping up the wounds. Then glancing around the room briefly he groaned and pulled off his tee-shirt and carefully pulled Ryou to sit up making the boy yelp and wince in pain as Bakura carefully pulled his top over Ryous head and gently pulled his arms through before laying the weak, trembling and ill boy back down as he heard the front door knocking. Sighing he leaned forward and placed his lips lightly over Ryous and whispered
"Get well soon Yadonushi" With his words whispered he left the bedroom and closed Ryous door as he walked along the hallway and down the stairs running his right hand through his hair as he opened the front door, glaring at the two Egyptians standing there he stepped away from the door letting them in as he sauntered into the living area and slouched down. Marik a young effeminate, sun-kissed fleshed male with shoulder length golden blonde hair and lilac eyes went straight into the kitchen and quickly started preparing breakfast while Mariku sat beside Bakura yawning
"So what happened Bakura?"
"I aint got a fucking clue, he was perfectly fine yesterday till you rang. Then he suddenly ran up stairs and threw up"
"Not good, did he do anything he normally doesn't do?"
"Yeah he didn't eat, he said he wasn't hungry" Bakura said shrugging as Marik came in and smacked him upside the back of his head, "WHAT THE FUCK MARIK!?"
"Are you stupid fluffy? Ryou HAS to eat TWICE a day or he gets seriously ill!" Marik hissed at him as both the Yamis turned to look at him confused, "Don't you know anything? Ryou used to suffer with depression after the ceremonial duel, he was on anti-depressants for 5months because he became so depressed. He was told by doctors he had to eat twice a day otherwise the tablets he took would kill him" Marik explained as Mariku and Bakura stared at him wide eyed
"How do you know this Marik?"
"Because he told me, I am his best friend you know"
"Why the hell didn't I know!?" Bakura hissed as he stood up and stormed off up the stairs growling darkly. Mariku stared at Marik who stared back blinking before shrugging and walking back into the kitchen to finish preparing the two Yamis breakfast and making something extremely light for Ryou. While standing outside Ryous bedroom door Bakura clenched his fist and opened the door slowly to see Ryou laying his back and passed out from exhaustion, sighing and rolling his eyes he walked over to the edge of the bed and sat down, glancing at his Hikari once he carefully traced the boys cheek, "Why didn't you tell me Ryou? Why did you keep me in the dark about your depression? Was it my fault you got so depressed? Why won't you talk to me anymore, you use to spend hours just talking to me, then suddenly you stopped talking to me after I hit you. You know that was an accident I didn't mean it...But since then you piss me off you know that?" Bakura hissed as he turned to face Ryou expecting the boy to be looking at him but he wasn't, Ryou was laying perfectly still almost like a doll as he heard someone clearing their throat from the doorway
"Breakfasts on the table Bakura"
"Yeah thanks" Bakura replied as he stood up and retrieved the cloth from Ryous forehead and walked past Mariku and into the bathroom where he soaked the cloth again and wrung it lightly before sauntering back into Ryous bedroom and placed the wet cloth over the boys forehead again and covering him with the quilt.
Downstairs in the kitchen Mariku, Marik and Bakura where eating when a loud thud sounded from the stairs. Bakura looking up instantly pushed his chair back and ran into the living area to see Ryou struggling at the top of the stairs, growling lowly Bakura walked up the stairs and picked Ryou up bridal style and took him back to his bedroom. Placing Ryou back into bed Bakura stared down at him
"Why the fuck are you so disobedient!?"
"I...H-Have to d-do my c-chores" Ryou whispered weakly trying to sit up as he was forced back down by Bakura
"I swear Yadonushi I will beat the living fucking hell out of you!" He hissed darkly in Ryous face as he held Ryou down gripping his shoulders, "Why the fuck didn't I know you were on Anti-de-fucking-pressants!? Why won't you fucking talk to me anymore!?" Bakura growled darkly staring down into Ryous wide teary eyes
"W-what do you b-bloody care! G-get of m-me!" Ryou shouted back as Bakura growled and back handed Ryou hard across the face before standing up and sauntering towards the bedroom
"I would stay in here if I were you, you useless fuck!" Bakura hissed as he walked out of Ryous room and walked along the hallway and went down stairs to see Mariku sitting on the couch while Marik cleaned the kitchen, Bakura then sighed and slouched down on the couch next to Mariku as Mariku glanced at him and reassured him that Ryou would be fine as Bakura glanced at him and nodded with a deep sigh.
Later that day Ryou opened his eyes slowly as he glanced at the alarm clock sitting on his bedside table as he heard footsteps walking towards his bedroom door, Stilling and trying to curl up under his quilt to hide a soft almost gentle knock tapped his bedroom door. Blinking and looking up Ryou sighed and whispered lowly
"W-who is it?"
"Ry it me Marik. Let me in please"
"C-Come in M-Marik" Ryou whispered his reply as he slowly sat up and winced lightly as he turned his eyes to the bedroom door to see Marik leaning against the door frame, "W-what is up Marik?"
"I wanted to apologise Ryou, I told Bakura about the Anti-depressants"
"Oh...D-don't worry about it"
"I mean it Ryou, I'm sorry"
"It's fine Marik." Ryou said softly smiling faintly up at his best friend as he patted the space beside him indicating for the other to come sit down, with a faint smile Marik did just that. He slowly walked over to Ryou and sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at his friend noticing the small slash against his face
"Ryou...How did that happen?" Marik asked raising his hand to Ryous face and tenderly stroking two fingers over the small cut crossing the pale teens' cheek
"Oh it's nothing, a window at school broke and I got caught by shattering glass" Ryou explained as he smiled up at his friend, though he knew that Marik wouldn't buy it for too long
"W-well be more careful okay? Anyway I prepared you some light Chicken and Lettuce sandwiches when you are ready to eat them"
"Y-Yeah thanks Marik" Ryou said looking down at his linked fingers noticing the top he was wearing as he stared wide eyed at it, "T-This is...B-Bakuras top"
"Yeah, He said something about you complaining about stomach cramps so he took your top off and gave you his to wear" Marik explained noticing the small faint blush touching his best friends cheeks, "Anyway let's get you out of bed and bathed"
"Y-yeah, I could do with a bath...But where is Bakura?"
"He went to the shops with Mariku, they left an hour ago they should be back soon" Marik said softly as Ryou nodded and slowly tried getting out of bed with his best friends help, clinging to Mariks shoulder as he pulled himself weakly from the bed that was now soaked in sweat from Ryous cold sweat. Marik sighed as he helped Ryou into the bathroom and started running a nice hot and relaxing bath, "Stay put okay? I will go change the covers on the bed so you don't get sick again"
"Y-Yeah thanks Marik" Ryou whispered as he watched Marik leave the bathroom, leaving him alone. Standing weakly Ryou stumbled slowly to the sink and looked at his reflection in the mirror, he was slightly paler than normal, his normally silky touching hair clung to his forehead and neck, and his eyes looked heavy and worn. Sighing deeply Ryou closed his eyes and inhaled deeply as he heard someone tutting from the door way, glancing to the door he saw Marik with his arms crossed over his chest shaking his head playfully. Ryou just smiled and through a towel at his best friend as a small chuckle escaped his lips, Marik just smiled softly and turned off the hot water and checking the temperature as he looked over at Ryou
"Right that's everything done only thing left is you bathing and eating something"
"Yeah thanks Marik"
"I'll check on you in the hour, so just Relax" Marik said turning on his heel and exiting the bathroom, leaving Ryou glaring at the door
"Great...First I need some towels" Ryou said lowly to himself as he crouched beside the sink and pulled out several bath towels and placed them on the side, then glancing at the water he slowly pulled off Bakuras tee-shirt and placed it on the counter. Then slowly removing each of the bandages Ryou winced as cool air traced his marred flesh, hissing through clenched teeth Ryou looked at his reflection and sighed deeply as tears fell silently down his cheeks, "Why do I even love that Sadistic bastard? It isn't as if he gives a fuck" Ryou said to his reflection as he turned his back to the mirror and pushed his pyjama bottoms off and tossing them into the laundry basket, Ryou then sighed as he carefully climbed into the hot steaming water and tried to ease himself in from the pain coursing through his lithe form from each of the many cuts. Laying back and resting his head on the side of the bath Ryou could just make out the sound of Marik talking with their Yamis, sighing a final time Ryou carefully started washing his hair and torso with gentle ease while occasionally glancing to the door. After rinsing his long soon to be silky hair he glanced down into the water and inhaled sharply when a light tapping disturbed him, "W-Who is it?"
"Who do you think? Open the damned door" Bakuras dark cold voice sounded as Ryou gulped deeply
"T-The door is open B-Bakura-Sama" Ryou said weakly as the door slowly opened, glancing up Ryou saw Bakura was wearing the tight black leather trousers he had brought him the day before, blushing deeply Ryou stared back down into the slightly pink tinged water "W-what did y-you want B-Bakura-Sama?" Ryou whispered gazing down into the blood stained water
"I got more bandages and some antiseptic cream, apparently it heals open wounds and makes the scars vanish. You can use it on the older scars as well"
"Y-You done t-that for me?" Ryou asked looking up to come face to face with Bakura, who had crouched down beside him
"Yeah, now hurry up, Marik wants you to eat" Bakura stated as he stood up and reached for one of the fluffy clean white towels and held it out to Ryou, gulping Ryou slowly struggled to his feet as he reached for the towel and took it out of Bakuras extended hand and slowly wrapped it around his waist as he used the wall to steady himself. Carefully getting out of the bath Ryou sighed lightly with relief that he had managed to get out of the bath without falling forward, once firmly stood on his feet he reached for another towel to dry himself up when his wrist was grab, "Here I should do it, I have to apply the cream anyway" Bakura stated lowly as he turned Ryou to face him in front of the sink and pushed the boy into the sink as he grabbed for a smaller towel and gently rubbed Ryous torso down, being careful not to let the towel brush to harshly over the partly opened wounds as he inhaled deeply and placed the towel down. Pulling out the contents of the bag he brought in with him he placed the cream beside Ryou and got the bandages open and looked back to Ryou who was looking down to the floor, sighing he pulled the long tube from the box and tossed the empty box into the waist basket and popped the cap as he squeezed some of the clear looking cream into his hand. Carefully he started dabbing the cream over the partly opened wounds as he watched Ryou stiffen to his touch while shuddering, "What is your fucking problem!?"
"I...It's cold" Ryou whispered as he looked up into cold russet eyes, his own milk chocolate optics meeting russet ones made his heart flutter as he gulped quietly. Bakura then continued to seemingly cover the boy in the cream gently rubbing it into the wounds and over the previously healed scars as he reached for the bandages and gently but firmly covered each deep cut he had left on the boys' body as he whispered lowly
"Why didn't you tell me you were taking Anti-Depressants Ryou?"
"B-Because...I er...didn't want you thinking I h-had to take them b-because of you" Ryou whispered weakly, he had kept the mind link between them locked for so long that he only occasionally opened it and only few times did he forget to close it again, so he knew that Bakura wouldn't of known about the medication he had to take for several months. He had only stopped taking them 4months before the beatings actually started to happen, that was when Ryou started taking the Anti-depressants again because he was getting stressed out with the amount of times Bakura would hit him
"Why did you start taking them? Was it because I hit you that once? You know it was an accident right?"
"B-because I was d-depressed...it s-started before I...b-became friends with M-Marik" Ryou whispered closing his eyes biting his lip as he whimpered away from Bakuras touch when the bandaging hurt a little
"You didn't answer my other question"
"I...I know it was an Accident B-Bakura-Sama"
"Good, now get yourself dressed and get down stairs and eat something. Because the next time you pull that stunt I'll kill you myself" Bakura hissed as he stood up straight and turned on his heel and left the bathroom, leaving Ryou alone. Ryou just sighed and bit his bottom lip as he emptied the bath and rinsed it out as he noticed Bakura hadn't taken his top with him, so gathering the remaining bandages Ryou pulled them carefully to his chest as he reached for the tee-shirt and dashed into his bedroom though stilling momentarily to glance down the hallway to see Bakura leaning against the wall with his eyes fixed upon him, blushing slightly Ryou quickly ran into his bedroom and closed the door behind. Bakura chuckled lightly as he turned after watching Ryou stilling and then running into his room, "So you do blush when you look at me, so why the hell do you piss me off for?" Bakura mumbled to himself as he walked down into the living area and join Mariku on the couch as he glanced at Marik, "Oi Marik"
"Yeah Bakura?"
"Ryou will be down in about 5 or so minutes, he going to be hungry"
"Yeah? Thanks I will get his sandwich out and make him some soup" Marik replied lightly as he opened up the cupboard beside the cooker and took out the small pan for soup and placed it on the side, he then turned and opened the smaller cupboard to the left of the cooker and pulled out a tin of chicken soup and opened the tin with the can opener. Smiling weakly to himself he poured it into the pan and placed it over the stove as he turned it on and let the soup heat through slowly.
Up in Ryous bedroom he was staring at the door with the faintest of pink tinges touching his pale features as his breathing accelerated slightly, panting ever so lightly Ryou ran his fingers through his long wet hair "What the bloody hell was that? Was he actually looking at me?" Ryou thought to himself as he turned on his heel and walked over to his bed and sat down briefly holding onto Bakuras Tee-Shirt and the new bandages. Turning to the side Ryou placed the bandages onto the bed and leaned forward slightly to grab for the first aid kit, pulling it into his lap he opened it and placed the new, fresh brought bandages inside before closing it and locking it. Sighing again Ryou glanced at the clock and then looked down at his lap where Bakuras shirt was still neatly folded in his lap, smiling lightly Ryou stood up and quickly got himself dried up and dressed, pulling on his tightest pair of skinny jeans and Bakuras tee-shirt Ryou turned and grabbed for the towel to dry as much of his hair as possible before walking towards the door to hear Bakura and Mariku laughing at something. Gulping dryly Ryou shook his head and opened the door, holding the towel tightly in his hands he walked into the bathroom and collected the second towel used and his pyjama bottoms and went down stairs.
Sitting on the couch laughing at some film Ryou didn't recognise was Bakura and Mariku, Bakura wearing those tight black leather trousers with red and orange flames crawling up the claves with one of his many tight red top that outlined each of his muscles. Ryou gulped as he stumbled of the last step, tripping over his own feet as he yelped loudly getting the two older males attentions
"Ryou you alright?"
"Huh!? Oh...er...Y-Yeah" Ryou replied looking up to see Mariku glancing over at him, putting up a faint small smile Ryou pulled himself from the floor as he hissed in low pain before looking towards Bakura, "B-Bakura-Sama?"
"What?"
"C-Can I talk you p-please?" Ryou whispered as Bakura shot his head around to face the boy seeing he had his hand over his stomach with a slight pained expression. Sighing Bakura stood up and walked over to Ryou taking the laundry out of his hands and walking into the kitchen
"Marik piss off for a sec would ya"
"What the frig!? Why? I came to see Ryou you know!"
"P-please Marik...I n-need to talk to B-Bakura" Ryou whispered looking down biting his lip, Marik sighed and nodded as he walked past Ryou pausing briefly
"I'll be sitting with Mariku if you need anything"
"T-thank you M-Marik" Ryou replied as he watched his best friend leave the kitchen, sighing weakly Ryou turned to face Bakura who was leaned against the counter with his arms crossed over his chest, "B-Bakura-Sama?" Ryou whispered as he noticed Bakura glance at him letting him know he heard and was listening, so slowly etching closer Ryou whispered, "I...I t-think their...b-bleeding through"
"Let me have a look" Bakura said coldly as he let his arms drop to his sides as Ryou slowly etched up the baggie tee-shirt he wore, Looking over one of the bandages Bakura sighed and stepped closer to Ryou as he lowered his lips to Ryous ear, "It's fine, I'll check them later Yadonushi" Bakura purred into Ryous ear making Ryou blush a deep crimson, turning Bakura left the Kitchen allowing Marik to go sit with Ryou
"Ryou are you alright? Your face is all red"
"Y-Yeah...I'm f-fine"
"Good, now eat" Marik said walking over to the stove and turning of the soup that was bubbling nicely as he poured the scolding hot creamy white liquid into a bowl, gently placing the pan into the sink Marik turned to see Ryou slowly eating the chicken and Lettuce sandwich. Smiling gently Marik carefully lifted the bowl and walked over to the table and placed the bowl on the table carefully pushing it gently over to Ryou, "Here it's hot so be careful"
"Thanks Marik"
"So what is with that blush Ryou" Marik said indicating to Ryous still pretty flustered face
"W-what...?"
"Your blushing Ryou, What did you and Fluffy talk about?"
"N-nothing much...Anyway how's you and Mariku now?"
"Good, But enough of changing the subject" Marik said softly smiling at the pale boy who sighed deeply glancing into the kitchen
"I just asked w-why he g-gave me his top to wear"
"You love him don't you Ryou?"
"What!?" Ryou choked out trying to swallow his sandwich
'What the hell are you doing in there you are way too loud!'
'Sorry B-Bakura-Sama'
"Well yes or no?" Marik asked glancing into the living area as he caught Ryou nodding weakly, smirking Marik leaned over and smiled, "Do you want to go out with me tomorrow into town?"
"What for?"
"I am going to go get a tattoo, to show Mariku how much I love him" Marik Said softly as Ryou nodded slowly glancing into the living area to stare at Bakura who was watching the television as Ryou sighed
"Okay, I'll go with you"
"Good, Want to go out now so I know how much it will cost?"
"Sure" Ryou said as he continued eating his sandwich as Bakura came into the kitchen looking Ryou over as Marik smiled up at him
"I'm Taking Ryou out for a few hours okay?"
"Yeah sure, me and Mariku are going to the club tonight"
"A-Again? Well Have fun" Ryou said lowly as he looked down at the bowl of chicken soup and slowly started eating it with a low pained sigh as Marik glanced at Ryou noticing he looked hurt
"Yeah I won't be home till late, so don't wait up" Bakura said grabbing two beers from the fridge and walking back into the living area.
After Ryou had eaten Marik washed up and smiled over at the boy who seemed to be staring at Bakura, the taller masculine male leaning over the back of the couch pointing something out to Mariku while drinking. Marik noticed the faint blushes touching the boys cheeks when Bakura glanced up to them in the kitchen as Ryou turned away quickly, Smirking Marik walked over to the table and smiled as he grabbed Ryous hand
"Come on Ryou, let's go out. Me and you can go find some single hot men willing to give us attention while our useless Yamis go clubbing"
"M-Marik!" Ryou said shocked as the paler male noticed the wink and smiled as he nodded and turned around to poke his tongue out and followed Marik out of the house giggling, "You know I am so in trouble now"
"Nah you won't, I've had it with seeing you blush every second Bakura glances up at you. Why don't you just tell him already?"
"B-Because Bakuras straight...He doesn't know I like him" Ryou whispered as the two walked down the road and headed towards the tattoo parlour
"Fluffy is soo gay Ryou! Isn't it obvious?"
"If he was gay why did he get repulsed when I kissed him" Ryou whispered, remembering when Bakura hit him for kissing back that night he was beaten and cut badly
"YOU'VE KISSED FLUFFY!?" Marik asked shouting as he looked at Ryou wide eyed, Seeing the boy nod and looking down at the floor Marik sighed, "Right get a tattoo with me, Tomorrow I will pay for it" Marik stated pulling Ryou into the tattoo shop and walked over to the counter smiling brightly, "Hi could I enquire tattoo prices?"
"Sure, what did you want?" A young female asked, she had long platinum white hair trailing all the way down her back with bright sparkling blue eyes that slanted, Ryou noticed that the females eyes looked just like Bakuras except this girl had blue eyes, and she seemed much sweeter. Her flesh as pale as Ryous, she too adorned a British accent as she tilted her head sweetly
"How much would it cost to get a Name written through a heart?"
"Where would it be going?"
"Here..." Marik said indicating his left hip as the girl took notice and smiled sweetly as she quickly rummaged the desk she was at and pulled out a pencil as she made a quick sketch of the tattoo in question
"Something like this?"
"Yeah exactly like that" Marik said smiling brightly at the girl
"That will cost you about $90"
"What about just the name on its own going over the hip?"
"Oh are you both getting one?" The young female asked looking from Ryou to Marik, Marik smirking nodded happily as the girl giggled softly, "I will do you a deal, Let me be your tattooist and I will do them both say...$80?"
"Really?"
"Yeah, your friend looks petrified so I will cut the price and I will do them both" The girl said smiling
"Brilliant, can you book us in for tomorrow morning?"
"Certainly and your names?"
"I'm Marik Ishtar and this...Is Ryou" Marik said leaving out Ryous last name as the girl smiled and scribbled down the time and price with a smile
"Perfect, so I will see you both tomorrow morning, and Ryou...Don't worry too much I will be extra gentle with you" She said softly as Marik leaned over the counter and kissed the girls cheek before dragging Ryou out of the shop and into the street
"M-Marik you kissed a girl!?"
"Yeah, her name is Aidosana, she done Marikus bicep tattoo"
"R-really? That was like years ago though"
"Yeah I know, Aidosana does all her own designs, she is a professional artist, and trust me she will be gentle with you" Marik said softly as he walked with Ryou back to his apartment, both chatting and laughing on the way back to the now quiet apartment.
