BAKURA'S POV

Mark quickly ran to the door, which I had locked, and pressed himself up against it as if he were trying to blend in to it. his eyes were wide open and staring at the snake that was mostly likely sleeping . I stood in between them arms crossed and feeling confident. Marik is terrified but I know I can help him. First however I need some back story. "Marik why are you so afraid of snakes?" his head shot straight to me and a look of furry met my smirk.

"Why would you take me here Bakura? You know I'm terrified of snakes. What was going thought you head when you thought this was a good idea?" He yelled at me stepping away from the door but quickly seeing the snake again and flatting himself against it again.

"Marik today you shall face your fear. Now, tell me why you are so afraid of snakes." He glared and me then closed his eyes.

"It was when I still lived in the tomb, before the tomb keeper initiation, before Melvin, before everything.

Odeon and I were playing one of the few games we had in the tomb. I was focused on the game and hadn't been aware of my surroundings. Out of nowhere my father's snake bit me. It was venomous and it really frigging hurt. So I sat there holding my ankle and Odeon had to suck the venom out. He had killed the snake and my dad flipped out. He said it was the only thing he had ever loved and that it was my fault.

"And then he called me Billy and went to get another snake. That one ended up biting me as well. That thing is going to kill me Bakura. Now please let me out." I smirked and grabbed his hand.

"Not till you touch him." he looked at me widening his eyes. Then he looked at the snake then me then the snake then me.

"You're not going to back down are you?" he asked. I shook my head. He gulped and stepped away from the door. he slowly got closer as I got more and more impatient. I sighed and push him closer, he stumbled and came face to face with the snake. The room was completely silent. Marik stared at the snake and the snake stared back. Everyone was motionless for a good minute will the snake hissed and Marik gasped. He started to back up but I put a hand on his back to keep him from moving. "Bakura. If this thing bites my face I'm going to kill you. "

"Just touch it Marik at me can go. " I said calmly. He took a deep breath and raised on of his hands towards the snake. When it neared the snake stared at it then it nuzzled his head against his hand. Marik jumped but didn't move his hand. I smiled. "See it likes you" the snake had started to climb up Marik's arm an she stood up slowly. The snake was curled around his upper arm and wrapped around his back so it head was next to his.

"It's almost pretty. Actually it's beautiful. It's so nice too. It didn't even try to hurt me. It's so gentle. " he was staring the snake looking very calm.

"Congratulations Marik, you just faced your fear and won." He looked up at me and smiled.

"Thank you Bakura. No one has ever done something like this before." I smiled.

"I'm glad to help. Now lets go before someone catches." As almost as if on Que a voice ran out from who knows where.

"Who's in there?" we both froze.

"Lets got the hell out of here."

RYOU'S POV

"Melvin what the hell are you doing?" I asked. His hand froze and he looked back at me nervously.

"Well I don't know what I'm doing. I've never done something like this before!" he turned away from me so his back was facing me. His hands were shaking and it was obvious that he was uncomfortable with where this was going. It honestly wasn't to hard. Just a few strokes and you're done. Easy as that. "We never did anything like this in the tomb and the afterlife. This is all new to me. " I laughed.

"I though you were the experienced one of us." He turned again and glared.

"Apparently not cording to lunch the other day." I blushed a little and laughed.

"Shut up and paint!" I yelled laughing. He grinned and turned back to easel that was standing in front of him. we had been painting for a little while now and there was more paint of him than there was on the board. What he had started drawing was looking decent but he couldn't go more than 10 seconds without turning around and putting paint on me.

"Make me!' he shot back and I laughed and grabbed the brush out of his hand and stood in front of him. he looked down at me and grinned . I leaned in closer and he closed his eyes and leaned as well. I grinned and brought the brush over his face starting at the chin and went up to in between his eyes. His eyes widened in shock but his face quickly turned to a grin. "You're going to pay for that."

MARIK'S POV

We were driving back to Ryou's after we had ran out of the zoo laughing. We had almost gotten caught but We made it out when Bakura let out the entire monkey exhibit. The things were climbing all over everything and causing a chaos. The perfect distraction for us to get out. We had finally gotten on the road back when Bakura asked a question no one had asked me before.

"Marik, what happed that night? Like how did it happen?" he asked not looking at me. I thought for a second before responding. I took a deep breath and started the story.

I looked up a knock that was at my door. I set my book down and stood up to tell whoever it was to fuck off but I was surprised when I saw you there. I looked at you confused for a second before you said something. "Are you gonna let me in or are you just going stand there?" your breath reeked of alcohol but I stepped aside none the less. "Where the hell did you find alcohol on this thing?" I asked but you just grinned and took a swig. "Now if I told you that would ruin the secret." I rolled my eyes. "What are you doing here Bakura? You should be in your room preparing for the duel you may have tomorrow." You snorted but didn't leave. "I don't need to prepare I'll be fine. And I'm here to claim what's mine.": I looked at you confused but you set to bottle down and walked up to me you we were inches apart. "I've grown tired of waiting for you Marik. so I'm just going to give you the push you need." With that you drunkenly kissed me while my eyes widened farther than they probably should. You pushed me against a wall and moved to my neck. "Bakura what are you-" "Just go with it Marik. you will enjoy this." You bit down on my next and it felt amazing but I knew if you weren't drunk this wouldn't be happening. I had to keep a clear head but you had stated grabbing me all over and my self control was fading fast. "Bakura you're drunk. You don't want this. " I felt you grin against my skin and then your hand grabbed my crotch roughly. "But you do. " and you were right. I did. For a while actually but I was so innocent to do anything about it. after that I just let things happen.

"Thinking back on this now I hate myself for not having more control but I guess I can't change it. "

"So wait a second. You had wanted that to happen before you just didn't act upon it?" he asked me. "Damn it Marik! I had been doing to same for who knows how long. And I can't even remember what happened! That the hell?"I laughed.

"That's your own fault Bakura. I honestly was gay back then. But I'm not anymore! Don't get any ideas!" I pointed t him. It's the truth, right? He rolled his eyes.

"Marik just come out of the goddamned closet."
