Sorry this took a bit longer than I had hoped for, but I was going through some major writers block, same goes for the other story I'm currently writing which I have yet to update ^ ^'

Mariks POV
There was a commotion about who was caught, but from where we where standing me and Bakura couldn't see who it was.
Bakura hopped on to the table beside him, and his expression changed to surprise, and then amusement as he doubled over laughing.
"Marik, get up here now!" still laughing hysterically he reached out a hand to pull me up on to the table with him.
I looked across the room to see who could have caused this reaction for Bakura.
I glimpsed blondish, yellow hair in the centre of the crowd. Joey?
People where blocking my view of who he was underneath the mistletoe with, and I moved my head slightly to the side, and nearly toppled off the side of the table in surprise.
Kaiba!
His expression was of surprise, and he didn't have a clue what to do. Looking around him he looked for a way out but the crowd was not about to let him escape.
Bakura was still laughing at Kaiba's situation, and I couldn't help but feel amused myself at his bad luck.
Who would have guessed the well-known homophobe of the school would now be forced to kiss another guy? I doubt he'll do it though. He's probably going to run now.
Joey looked flustered, and I noticed his face now turning bright red at being stuck in this situation.
The entire time I've been at the school those two have always had it out for each other, firing insults back and forth. Ryou had once suggested Joey had a thing for Kaiba, because he would never shut up about him. Joey denied it of course, but Ryou was sure of it. From Joey's reaction I guess he's been proved right.
"Come on, let's get closer." Bakura got down off the table, dragging me with him and through the crowd gathered around the two. He seemed eager to watch this embarrassing moment for Kaiba in the best place possible.
The people we shoved past gave weak protests but moved out of the way regardless. We somehow managed to make it to the very front, where we could see the situation perfectly.
The crowd was not shouting impatiently, demanding they kiss. Kaiba looked at them irritably, and Joey looked like he wanted to melt into the floor.
"Just kiss already!" Someone yelled from the crowd. They still hesitated.
Suddenly Bakura shouted "What's wrong Kaiba? You scared?" He taunted him from the sidelines.
Kaiba sneered at Bakura, and to everyone's surprise, moved forward and pressed his own lips to Joey's, and the entire room froze.
All the girls began squealing as the kiss continued on, and the boys all seemed embarrassed or where laughing awkwardly.
I couldn't help but be surprised. I hadn't expected Kaiba to actually go ahead with this. He even kissed him full on. If he had wanted he could have kissed him of the cheek, and left it at that.
After a few more moments Kaiba broke the kiss, and looked around at the cheering crowd, face now red. Joey stared up at him shocked.
Kaiba quickly tried to defend himself "I had to do it, so don't get the wrong idea." He quickly retreated, going outside for air.
The crowd eventually scattered, everyone still hyping about the kiss.
Ryou and the others joined myself, Bakura and Joey, still at the front of the room. Ryou was beaming while looking at Joey's still coloured face.
"Told you so!" He shouted out like an annoying child, that loved being proved right.
"Shut up!" Joey snapped quickly. "I'd never like an asshole like him!"
We all laughed at Joey's constant denial, and the party eventually continued on like it never happened. Of course, it was something no one would forget, and will probably follow Kaiba for the rest of his time at this school.
Bakura's POV
Well, that was certainly a surprise.
I had never expected Kaiba to do that, especially after how badly he treated myself and Marik months back. It was possible he had changed since then, but it was still a big turn.
After another while of chatting, Marik was once again attempting to get me to dance.
"It'll be fun Bakura! Please?" He tugged on my arm, throwing me his best puppy dog eyes that he knew I couldn't resist.
I stared defiantly for a few moments before giving in, mumbling "Fine." Before I had even finished the word Marik had began pulling me off towards the dance floor at top speed.
Once there, I began to worry, but once I looked around I relaxed. It didn't matter how bad I was at dancing, nearly everyone else is just as god awful as I am.
Marik, on the other hand was stealing the dance floor, and I realised I probably looked ridiculous trying to dance next to him, but I didn't really care.
Soon after we started dancing the song stopped half way through, and an announcer broke the complaints of the teens around me.
"Okay folks, get ready for the last dance of tonight! This is a slow dance, so grab a partner and get ready!"
Suddenly everyone looked excited and couples began to pair up, waiting for the song to start.
My eyes met Mariks, but he looked reluctant to dance.
"I don't know how to slow dance..." He admitted, embarrassed.
I laughed "It's not that hard, you'll do fine." stepping forward I wrapped both my arms around his waist. "Just follow my lead."
The song started and was began swaying slowly in time with the music. I knew how to dance like this properly, so I had no worries. Marik on the other hand kept glancing down to make sure he didn't accidentally step on my feet.
"You're doing fine" I reassured him with a smile, and he looked up, still nervous.
Reaching upwards I moved back a stray hair that had fallen in front of his face, then closed the distance between us with a brief kiss.
When we broke apart I gently grabbed his hand and walked us over to the side lines.
All the seats were taken, so I instead hopped up onto a table, and Marik joined me. We sat comfortably, him leaning in to me, until the dance ended and the announcer spoke again.
"Time for the raffle" I murmured into Mariks hair, where I had rested my head.
I didn't want to bother; I never won anything, but Marik, enthusiastic again practically jumped over to where they started describing the prizes.
They weren't actually half bad this year, I'll give them that. The prizes that stuck out the most where the top 3. 3rd place was a mobile, 2nd a Dsi, and 1st place was a wii gaming console.
Myself and Marik had each bought 5 tickets, although it was very unlikely one of us would win. I stood impatiently waiting for the announcer to call out the numbers.
Marik's POV
The first prizes given away where the cheapest, and I was determined to win one of the best. Bakura seemed laid back, not expecting to win anything. Maybe he was right, it was unlikely, but there was still a chance at least!
One by one, the prizes went. I waited patiently, listening out for the last three.
Finally, he got to them. I listened intently for the first one to be given away.
"43!" He called, and I cursed. That hadn't even close to my numbers. But, there were still two more to be given away, so I wasn't going to give up hope yet!
"150!"
Dammit!
That was another one gone, and now there was only one prize left. The entire crowd seemed tense now, all wanting their number to be called. After he handed down the prize to the winner, he got out the last ticket and stood in silence for a moment. Man, I hate it when people do this...
"...And lastly... Ticket number 102!" I looked down at my tickets in utter dismay. I had numbers 97 to 101. My ticket was one number off.
Bakura knew this and wrapped his arm around my shoulder in a comforting way, but then we both turned to see the lucky winner of the wii.
Kaiba.
Of course. It just had to be him. This entire night seemed rigged somehow, with all these coincidences.
He didn't seem happy to be winning it, but didn't say anything.
That signalled the end of the night, and some people began to leave. We stayed for a while longer chatting.
"Dammit! I really wanted that wii! I was one ticket off! That can't be fair at all!" I ranted on and on to Bakura, Ryou and the others, who all tried to calm me down unsuccessfully.
"Marik."
Kaiba had suddenly spoke from behind me and I nearly jumped a mile. Turning, he shoved the bow with the wii he had just won into my hands.
I looked down at the wii, then up to him in surprise and confusion.
"...you can't actually be giving this to me..." I didn't understand why he would want to do something like this for me, the person he had hated not that long ago.
"You seemed upset. And I already have a wii back home, so I thought why not?" He stood uncomfortably, feeling lots of eyes on him, so he turned to leave.
"Thanks so much Kaiba!" I shouted, smiling to myself at this incredible turn of luck I was having.
Looking behind me, everyone was staring after Kaiba in surprise.
"Did that actually just happen...?" Bakura asked, and everyone nodded slowly, all still slightly shocked by his sudden act of kindness.
"Tonight defiantly went better than I expected!" I laughed, incredibly happy with my new wii console.
Suddenly Bakura asked "How are you going to get that home?" I didn't know what he meant for a second but then realised I had come here by motorcycle.
Bakura and Ryou where getting dropped off home by Joey and Tristan, so there would be no one to make sure the wii doesn't fall off the bike.
I sat in silence, trying to think of a way because Ryou spoke up.
"Me and Bakura could hold on to it for tonight for you, then you can come around to ours tomorrow to pick it up." He suggested, and I handed over my wii to Bakura, reluctant to part with it so soon. I had wanted to set it up immediately but there was no way I was driving with the chance of it falling off and breaking.
After waving our goodbyes, we all went our own ways.
Bakura's POV
"So what do you think?" Ryou asked myself, Joey and Tristan.
Once we had gotten into the car Ryou had explained to us his idea for Marik's birthday. He wanted to throw a surprise party at our house for him, and invite everyone he was close to at school.
Even though I had hoped for a small party of just myself and Marik, the surprise party was still a good idea.
Joey and Tristan instantly voiced their agreement, and I simply nodded.
Ryou said happily "Then it's sorted!" He arranged times for us to meet, before asking "So, what did you guys get Marik?"
Joey shrugged and answered first "I just got a cool shirt. The guy's hard to buy for. He doesn't really have any hobbies or anything like that."
We looked over to Tristan who admitted he hadn't got anything yet. "I have a card, but I'm hoping I'll see something soon that I can get him."
"You could get him a game for the wii?" Ryou suggested and Tristan looked relived, and thanked Ryou for the good idea.
"What did you get him Ryou?" I asked.
He smiled "I seen this awesome pair of golden bracelets, which match his earnings and necklace perfectly!"
Joey and Tristan huffed from the front of the car at the good gift, and then they all asked me what I had bought him.
I smiled to myself remembering it.
"I got him something I'm sure he's going to love."
They bugged me for more details, but I decided to keep it a secret until the party. I couldn't wait to see Marik's reaction when I gave it too him.
One person guessed right, that Kaiba was under the mistletoe x3 Anyways, hope you like it x3 Apologies for any typo's, I've written this at 4am xD
I would have out Ryou under it but, I had no idea who I would pair him with xD I was considering making it him and Marik actually, but then was against it x3
