Chapter 10

Malik's P.O.V

Bakura and I were searching for a not so crowded spot, as suddenly a hand grabbed my arm and pulled me to the side, away from Bakura.

"What the fuck...", I muttered and turned around to see who had pulled me away. It was Duke.

"Duke", I said and furrowed my brow. "What's the point of that?", I asked him.

Duke grinned. "I just wanna present you to somebody."

I gulped. "Present me to somebody?", I repeated. No... I knew exactly what he wanted to do.

"Yeah, just presenting you to someone", he said, smirking. This was so the total opposite of good. "Come on", Duke said, seized me by the arm and pulled me through the room.

I looked around to see where Bakura was, but I didn't see him anymore. Damn! Where was he when you needed him? Had he vanished into thin air? I sighed.

"Come along, Malik. It won't take long", Duke said, a fake innocent expression on his face while he pulled me into the direction of a staircase. And now I knew again, why I used to hate parties in Egypt whenever I didn't have a girlfriend. Because my 'friends' then had done everything to pair me up with any girl they thought would be to my liking. Seemed like it was the same here in Japan.

But now, I didn't have to be paired up with somebody, because I actually HAD somebody. Bakura. Sure, I hadn't told him yet that I loved him and the others, meaning Yugi, Tea, Joey, Tristan and Duke, thought I was straight so the idea that I could love Bakura, who was a boy the last time I'd checked, would probably never cross their minds and so they thought that I had to be paired up with somebody and they didn't even care to ask me if I wanted to be paired up with somebody and... Argh. Why did friends always have to act so... friendly? They did as if they acted in my best interests, but they didn't even care if I liked to be paired up with somebody or not.

By now, Duke had pulled me already to the staircase. I groaned. Should I tell him that I realized a short while ago that I wasn't straight? But I had decided that I wouldn't tell anybody until I'd have confessed Bakura that I loved him, so I stuck with my decision. Maybe I could escape when he would have presented me to whoever he wanted me present to. Hopefully, as soon as I would have managed to escape I would find Bakura again in this big house that seemed to have millions of rooms and hallways.

Duke led me to a room. A bedroom. Uh-oh. I knew exactly what could happen at parties. I knew it only too well. But I wouldn't let that happen. I loved Bakura, for Ra's sake! And because of that I couldn't let anything happen. I would just say my name and stuff to whoever Duke wanted to present me to and then I'd abscond. Certainly, Bakura wondered by now where I was.

So I stepped into the room and looked around. Nobody was there.

"Duke...", I mumbled and stepped further into the room.

"Hmm, wait a minute and I'll be right back. Just sit down on the bed and relax. Remember, I just wanna present you to somebody", Duke grinned and with a twinkle in his eye, he disappeared outside of the door.

"Yeah, sure", I muttered to myself. Now I had the chance to run away, but then Duke would have followed me the whole night, not willing to give up the plans he'd made.

So it was probably better to get over with this fast and hopefully Bakura wouldn't be mad at me for my sudden disappearing.

I sighed and sat down on the bed. At least it was comfortable.

I sighed again. Yeah, sure. Duke would just 'present' me to somebody. Above all, in a bedroom with a huge comfortable bed and stuff like that. I huffed. Did he and Yugi and the others weigh me up as someone like that? As someone that would just get to know somebody and then would hop into bed with that somebody immediately? Just great...

Whatever. I sat there, looking at my knees, and waited, and suddenly, the door was opened. I looked up and saw a tall woman standing in the doorframe. She had long blonde hair and violet eyes and... she was beautiful. I gasped and my mouth opened slightly. She walked towards me, slowly and gracefully. A smile played on her perfect, red lips. I just stared at her, not really noticing what exactly I did at the moment. She approximated. She looked at me with her deep, violet eyes. My mouth hung open and I breathed fitfully.

And suddenly I realized what I was doing. My eyes widened for a brief moment and I shook my head slightly to snap out of my stare. No... What was I doing? I couldn't... Bakura... But... I furrowed my brow and bit on my lower lip. No, I couldn't let me get seduced. I loved Bakura, remember? Yeah, Bakura... God, but that woman was really hot, too. No! I shouldn't think that. I just had admitted to myself that I was gay. And what did I do now? I stared at a woman and my feelings went crazy. That wasn't how it was supposed to be, was it? Maybe I was bi...

I shook my head again. Bakura was hot. Hotter than this woman. Much hotter. Only because he wasn't here at the moment I couldn't forget him. I closed my eyes to see his face. Yes, there he was. I saw him clearly in front of my closed eyes. His white hair surrounded his handsome face. I saw his deep brown eyes.

"Hi. I'm Mai. Mai Valentine." The woman's voice suddenly brought me out of my thoughts. I still sat on the bed and she was standing right in front of me.

"H-Hi", I stuttered, my voice somewhat higher than usually.

"And your name is?", she asked and came closer to me. I hold my breath.

"M-Malik", I stammered. God, what was wrong with me?

"Malik, then", she said and sat down next to me on the bed. I gasped and flinched. Mai smiled. And Ra, it was a sexy smile. A smile that should seduce me. She ran with her tongue over her teeth. I looked at her, my mouth still open. What should I do? I lowered my head. Oh, not a good idea. Now I looked directly into her low neckline. Quickly, I closed my eyes and bit my lower lip.

"Ma-lik", she said and stretched my name. "What a sexy name", she continued and moved closer to me. I breathed more fitfully than before. I began to sweat.

//Shit... What shall I do?//, I asked myself, but nothing came to my mind. I was like paralyzed. I couldn't stand up or move an inch away. I just let my eyes closed. Probably that was best.

"And what a muscular body", Mai said. Now, I blushed as well.

I felt how her index finger stroke over my chest and over my stomach. I trembled as the finger went down further, but it stopped before it would reach the... well, the 'precious zone'. Thankfully. The finger stroke over my chest again and I still just sat there, paralyzed because of this woman.

This was so wrong. This wasn't what I wanted. But I couldn't go away, go to the person I wanted to be with at the moment. I was stunned.

I dared to open my eyes again and realized that Mai was opening my shirt. My eyes widened. That's it! My paralyzation was gone all of a sudden and I jumped to my feet, backing off from that woman that confused my feelings and myself. She stood up as well. Only now I recognized that she was taller than me.

"What?", she asked with an innocent tone. I still trembled and backed off. Mai walked towards me. She snickered softly. "Are you afraid?", she asked, a somehow devilish grin on her face. I didn't answer. I had to go away.

I continued to back off and suddenly I couldn't go further. I stood in a corner. Damn it!

Mai approximated. Where should I go? I had no chance to back off or to go past her. I was trapped.

"Oh, sexy ass is trapped", she giggled.

//Haha, very funny//, I thought. //I have to get out of here before anything bad will happen...//

What, if Bakura would catch me with her, kissing, making out or worse? Then, he surely wouldn't believe me if I'd tell him that I loved him. Everything would be ruined then.

Mai stood directly in front of me. I could feel her warm breath against my face. It smelled like alcohol but also like strawberries. It befuddled me. I couldn't think clear anymore. I tried to breath through my mouth.

She bend forward and our noses where merely inches apart from each other. She had put her hands on my shoulders and pulled me slightly forward towards her. I trembled badly. And I sweated. I didn't know what I should do. My heart beat nervous against my chest.

Her lips came closer and closer to mine. One inch maybe was between them, not more.

//NO!//, I screamed mentally.

No, I couldn't let this happen...

Bakura's P.O.V

I ran through the whole first story of the mansion, searching for the bronzed Egyptian who I loved. Where could he be? Would I find him in time before anything bad could happen?

Now I stood at the foot of the staircase, holding my side because I had a stitch. I really was out of breath, but I had no time to stop now. So I continued to ran, up the stairs and I was on the second story. Another fifteen rooms where Malik could be in.

I ran to every door, opened it, looked into the room for a split second and if Malik wasn't in the room, I closed the door and continued to run to the next door. Almost every room I looked into was a bedroom. And in almost every room where people. In beds... Together... Wonder what they were doing... Some didn't even look up as I looked into the room.

I ran and ran and ran and suddenly, I already stood in front of the last door on this story. Hopefully, Malik would be in this room. And hopefully I wasn't too late.

I opened the door and looked into the room. And then I saw him. He stood in a corner, in front of him a tall, blonde woman. Her face was only inches away from his. Did they kiss?

My eyes widened. Was I too late?

I saw Malik's expression. He was desperate. Obviously he didn't like what happened.

Good for me. I would rescue him.

So I ran further into the room, towards Malik and the woman that molested him.

"Malik!", I called and he looked into my direction, his eyes shimmering with fear, worry, confusion, hope, and many other feelings.

I shoved the woman away and grabbed his wrist.

"Get out of my way, slut!", I yelled at her. She was quite surprised. And confused. But that wasn't my problem. I tugged him out of the room and through the hallway to the next staircase. The blonde woman chased after us.

"Are you alright?", I asked Malik and looked at him.

He nodded. "Yeah...", he muttered.

I narrowed my eyes. //Tristan... Duke... you'll have to pay for that... some day//, I thought.

Malik and I ran up the staircase and then we were on the third story. The woman didn't follow us anymore, so we slowed our pace and slumped to the ground as soon as we were a few feet away from the staircase.

I was out of breath, so first of all I took a deep breath. I smiled slightly. //Maybe I'm a hero now//, I thought.

I watched Malik. He looked down and his sand-colored bangs covered his eyes.

"Well, I... I hope I have done the right thing", I said to him and he looked up at me. "It seemed to me as if you didn't like that woman, so I thought I should... rescue you", I told him.

A small smile came up to his face. "Yeah. That was a good idea. Thanks", he said.

"No problem", I said.

For a moment, there was silence. We looked at each other. We looked each other deep in the eyes. My dark eyes stared into his lavender ones. His beautiful lavender eyes...

And suddenly, his eyes were only inches away from mine. I had moved closer to him, really close. His eyes were wide, full of expectation.

"Bakura...?", he whispered.

I took his hand into mine. "Malik..."

"...", he opened his mouth slightly, but didn't say anything.

"I...", I began.

"Yes?"

"I...", I tried again to form the words.

"Is the plug loose again?", Malik whispered.

"What?", I asked confused.

"Nothing", he whispered and suddenly, he pushed my head closer to his and our lips met.

It was a befuddling feeling. I kissed back and closed my eyes. Malik pushed me even closer to him and I put my arms around his neck.

And we sat there on the floor, kissing, and it was like the time stood still. I couldn't hear the music from down on the first floor anymore, I couldn't hear anything anymore, I couldn't see anything anymore (maybe because I had closed my eyes) and I could only feel Malik. His lips pressed against mine and suddenly, I felt complete again.

After such a long time where I'd felt alone and incomplete, like a part of me was gone with Ryou, I now felt complete again.

//Ryou//, I thought as I remembered him, //Forgive me, please...//

The part of me that had gone, was back again. My heart that had been ripped apart about one month ago was finally put together again. All pieces of it were back where they belonged.

We broke apart to breathe, but as soon as that was done, our lips were together again. I felt Malik's tongue running over my lower lip, asking for entrance. I opened my mouth, allowing him to come in. His tongue discovered my mouth, carefully. I moaned.

After what seemed like an eternity (not that I didn't like it), he drew his tongue out of my mouth. Now, I pushed my tongue into his mouth, not waiting to ask for entrance. I discovered every angle of his mouth. He tasted so sweet. Like honey. Our tongues met and our saliva mingled. Malik moaned.
I smiled and drew my tongue out of his mouth. We continued kissing. My head screamed for air, but I didn't want to stop. Finally, I had achieved what I had planned, wished and feared so long.

I opened my eyes to look at Malik. His eyes were still closed. As my vision blurred, I finally broke the kiss. I felt a bit dizzy.

We both panted. Malik looked at me, a overjoyed smile on his tanned face.

"What I wanted to say was", I said as soon as the dizziness was gone and I could think clear again, "I love you."

"I love you, too", Malik whispered.

I was so happy. My heart jumped up and down with joy. How long had I feared this moment? How could I even have thought that Malik didn't love me? It seemed as if we belonged with each other.

I stroke the bangs out of his face. "Now, do you wanna go back down to the party?", I asked him.

He nodded. "I'd love to."

I took his hand and we carefully stood up, both still a little bit dizzy. Then, we went down the stairs, back to where the music came from, that I now could hear again.

And Malik's hand felt so well in my hand, as if it just belonged there, as if his hand was made to be in my hand...

Yay! Finally, Bakura and Malik kissed each other. I know you all waited for this to happen.

So, how was the make-out scene? This was the first time I wrote a make-out scene, so please tell me how it was. You can give me some tips, if you want to. Just send me a PM or an email or a review.

And if you're totally confused about these sentences:

"I...", I tried again to form the words.

"Is the plug loose again?", Malik whispered.

"What?", I asked confused.

then you should remember what happened in the last chapter, because there was this scene where Malik and Bakura sat in front of the stereo and Bakura tried to form the words 'I love you' and he only kept saying 'I...'. And then he said 'The plug was just loose' while Malik waited for him to say the three certain words.
I just thought that I should let Malik ask if the plug was loose again, so that the scene with the stereo wasn't needless.

By the way, Mai didn't kiss Malik because (thankfully) Bakura got there just in time before that could happen. Did I make Mai a slut? Oh, well... Hope you don't mind.

Well, the next chapter will be about how the party goes on and what happens after the party.

And please write me some reviews, because if I just get one I'm always disappointed and think that you didn't like the chapter...

Btw, anonymous reviews are enabled, so there is no reason for not writing me a review.

So, please send me one!!!
