Oh, just so you understand the A B C thing. It has been pointed out that the reader feels bad making out with everyone, like they are cheating on their guy. So now there will be a scene for Yami Bakura, Ryou Bakura, and Yami Marik. If you want a scene with someone else, just tell me k?

Christmas time at long last. Snow had finally fallen and it looked beautiful. Everyone was excited about the upcoming holidays. Sales were being announced from every corner and so many were overdoing the shopping thing. It was a perfectly wonderful season. Except for the fact that you were dead sick.
You rolled onto your side, trying to find a position in which you could still breathe through your nose. You rubbed your head hoping that this time it would make it stop feeling like your head was going to explode. Every muscle in your body was stiff and sore. It sort of felt like you were hit by a truck, then went and ran for five hours while holding your breath and spinning in circles. Not that you would know what that feels like. You took a deep breath, which sent you into another coughing fit. Your stomach and chest hurt from coughing so much.
Sleeping sounded like a great idea. You waited for the medicine to kick in, and hopefully knock you out until next summer. Just as you were finally dozing off, your neighbors started blasting Christmas carols.
"I'm sick, I'm miserable. And I am stuck listening to Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree." You moaned and pulled the pillow over your head sufficiently cutting off your supply of oxygen.
After that nothing you could do would allow you any comfort, even when the music was turned off. Your stomach was growling, but just the thought of moving made you feel like grabbing a handful of sleeping pills and just dying. You were sure you were not going to survive this anyway. 'Okay maybe I am being a bit dramatic.' You sighed, coughing again.
You slipped off your bed and made your lightheaded way to your kitchen. You decided not to turn any lights on. Everything should look as dreadful as you felt. That did not take much; the house was a mess. You had not had the energy to so much as clean up the wrappers of your various cough drops, pills, and cough medicine. You made a face feeling like you would throw up if you looked to hard at any of the afore listed abominations.
You glanced around the kitchen through your sore eyes.

You seriously wished that you had decided to stay in bed.
"Hello _____. I have not seen you around so I decided to check in on you." Bakura sat perched on your kitchen table tossing an unopened box of aspirin in the air and catching it. For a moment you thought he had brought it for you, but you realized that it was one you had bought on your last miserable trip to the corner shop.
You sighed and dropped onto a kitchen chair to Bakura's side.
"Not very talkative are we?" he sneered.
"I'm sick." You mumbled, your voice sounding terrible. Bakura looked down at you for a moment and rose an eyebrow.
"What am I supposed to do with you when you're sick?" he frowned in mock disappointment. You let your head fall onto the kitchen table. Naturally you would have been more courteous, but you felt awful. Keeping your eyes open was as much as you could do.
"Would you mind handing me those aspirins?" It hurt your head to speak. Everything made your head throb with intensity that brought tears to your eyes. Bakura opened the bottle and placed it in your outstretched hand. "Thanks." You smirked pouring four into your hand.
"Put two back."
You looked up not sure if you had heard him correctly.
"What?" you asked incredulously.
"Has your hearing been affected? I said for you to put two back." He repeated himself, speaking provocatively slow.
"Uh huh" you laughed and tried to pop the pills into your mouth. Bakura stopped you in mid-motion, taking two aspirins out of your hand. 'I am not in the mood for this.' You thought irritably reaching for your confiscated medicine. The white-haired thief merely shook his head and dropped the pills back into the bottle. "Come on Bakura!" you moaned.
"I'll hold on to these for now." He stuffed the bottle into his pocket. Bakura looked back to you and grinned. "Are you going to cry?" he jeered. You glared back and tried to fight back tears. You were too miserable to care about anything. You rested your head dejectedly back on the table and swallowed the remaining pills.
"I'm not going to provide much entertainment." You stated, trying to make him leave. You knew you looked as bad as you felt, and even though you wanted to ring his neck at the moment, you were embarrassed for him to see you looking like crap. You closed your eyes and exhaled. 'It's Christmas Eve. Good thing I got all the shopping out of the way.' You thought optimistically, hoping a lighter mood would make the leaden feeling of your head subside slightly. Your mind wandered to the near-tragic trip to the mall.

You looked around the huge Domino Mall. There had to have been every shop in existence here. The Christmas decorations adorned every table and shop front. Christmas carols blared from almost every store. You smiled it was finally Christmas. The familiar tunes lifted your spirits to tremendous heights.
"Never been here before?" Joey asked with a grin, noticing your awe-struck look.
"Nope." You shook your head. A few members of the group laughed.
"I could spend all day in here~!" Miho exclaimed clapping her hands together. She was wearing a puffy pink coat with a matching purse and boots.
"As appealing as that sounds, I am planning on staying for only and hour or two." Yami noted, looking unimpressed.
"Whatever you say Kaiba." You taunted.
"What are you talking about _____?" Yami raised an eyebrow.
"Well I would have said Scrooge, but Kaiba seemed a more fitting person." You shrugged. The group erupted into laughter. Yami shook his head but refrained from any comebacks.
"Let's meet in the food court in about an hour." Tèa suggested.
"That should work." Yugi nodded looking as captivated by the decorations as you.
"Alright, enough standing around let's get going." Malik laughed and started towards the stores. You nodded and started in another direction. There were so many stores here, you were sure you could find something for everyone.
The hour went by rather quickly. You had several bags; there were only a few people you had not found a gift for. You were sure you could find the rest after lunch. Yami was already sitting at a table looking bored. He had a few bags under the table, which surprised you to some extent.
"Hello ____." He greeted.
"Hey. How'd the shopping go?" You asked and choose a seat to his left. He shrugged.
"It was not horrible." He answered good-naturedly. You laughed and shook your head. The others slowly filed in. Miho bounced over to the table carrying a mountain of bags. 'How did she buy that much in only an hour?' you wondered. Tristan followed a few moments later carrying more bags. 'Oh, that's how.' Malik and Yugi showed up next. Neither carried any bags.
"Yugi challenged me to arcade games." Malik explained laughing.
"We got a bit carried away." Yugi smiled.
"Did you spend all of your money~?" Miho blinked looking amazed.
"I didn't." Malik smirked. Yugi frowned. "Not my fault you had to beat the high scores. Or try to." He shrugged sitting. Yugi took a seat to Yami's right avoiding Yami's eyes.
Ryou and Joey were the last to show up. Both wore Santa hats and were singing Christmas carols.

"Why are you wearing those hats?" You asked.
"What?"
You opened your eyes 'Wait, but I had my eyes open. I was at the mall.' You blinked, confused. "Why are you two wearing Santa Claus hats?" you repeated.
"I'm not wearing a hat, and unless you are seeing doubles, there is not a second person here." Bakura raised an eyebrow looking at you strangely.
"Oh, I was dreaming." You realized aloud. You stretched out feeling a bit better. 'How'd I get on the couch?' you wondered. You had your head resting in Bakura's lap. You felt heat rush to your face at the notice. "What time is it?" you asked looking out the window seeing that it was dark outside.
"Three in the morning." He answered yawning a bit. "How are you feeling?"
"Better. Sorry about falling asleep like that. You didn't have to stay around." You mumbled feeling a bit awkward.
"Nothing better to do." He lay his head against the arm rest on the couch and pulled you to where your head rested on his chest. "Go back to sleep." He ordered softly. You nodded smiling to yourself and closed your eyes.
You did not wake up again until morning. Your head felt a lot clearer and you could breath through your nose again.
"Finally awake?" Bakura teased. You looked up and smiled.
"Yeah sorry." You blushed, sitting up. Bakura smirked and sat up stretching his arms above his head. You felt pretty bad; you hadn't hung up your stockings or made cookies like you normally did every Christmas. Your parents weren't even home to celebrate the holiday with you.
You caught Bakura's glance and put on a mask of happiness. "Haha well, merry Christmas. I'm not sure if this is the way you wanted to spend your Christmas morning." You motioned around the room and trailed off. You couldn't believe what you saw. The stocking were all hung up, even your parents' stockings. There was a box sitting on the table. The tag read "Domino Bakery". You looked to Bakura speechless. He pretended not to notice.
"I wouldn't say that."
