Marik walked along the old, cracked path, Bakura was right, it does get cold at night. He sighed and hugged himself, the town wasn't very big, they were far away from Domino, compared to Domino this was microscopic, the hotel was the biggest building in the whole place.
Marik looked down to the ground, thinking deeply "Why have I been so spaced out lately? And what the hell was that thing with the jumper? Since when had Bakura cared so much? Like he would care if I have a cold!" he stopped and looked at the jumper sitting around his arms. Curiously, he rose it up to his nose and inhaled deeply, it had Bakura's scent, smelling like cinnamon. Marik raised an eyebrow "Cinnamon? Since when did Bakura smell like cinnamon? Maybe he had donuts on it or something…" he smiled and smelt it again, sighing dreamily, it was such a nice smell….The Egyptian blinked and shook his head "What is wrong with me? What I'm smelling is Bakura's jumper! I'm basically smelling Bakura! But, it just smells so nice…and he gave me this jumper to keep warm. I wonder how many times he's worn it himself? I can't help but think that wearing this jumper is like Bakura hugging me…" his face reddened at the thought of Bakura giving him a tight, passionate hug. He quickly shook his head, trying to get rid of the thought "Wh-why am I thinking like that?! It's just a stupid hug! And not like he'd hug me anyway! Apart from that one time! It only happened once! And this…" he looked down to the jumper again "this is just Bakura's jumper! And it just happens to smell like cinnamon! And even if I do like the smell…" he widened his eyes and quickly shook his head again "No! Stop thinking like that! Stupid Marik! Stupid, stupid-"
"Well, well, what do we have here?" his thoughts were interrupted as he turned to see three muscly guys standing behind him, smirking. Marik swallowed, looking at the size of the three men towering over him
"C-can I help you?" the biggest one, which Marik assumed was the leader, stepped closer
"Look boys, we found a little girl lost in the scary, dark allies, isn't it past your bed time?" the two behind him started to snicker.
Marik started to feel something bubble up inside him "For you information, I happen to be a guy"
the brute started to snicker "Oh you are? Sorry, it's hard to tell from behind, what with that tight ass and all"
the Egyptians eye started to twitch "Thanks for the information, but if you don't mind, I have to get going" the man's smirk widened
"Why? Is your Oto san going to get mad at you?" Marik clenched his fists and attempted to throw a punch at the man, but was quickly stopped as his fist was caught and his arm got twisted behind his back.
The other two brutes walked up to him "What's wrong?" one of them asked "Did we strike a nerve?" Marik started to lash about, feeling panic wash over him.
He stopped as he felt a hand go over his neck "What's this?" the biggest man asked, feeling his hand grip around metal "Well would you look at that? He seems to have a type of choker, and it's gold. Not only that but his earrings to" Marik started to sweat as one of the brutes pulled his jumper sleeve up
"And he has more on his arms to" he chuckled.
The leader smirked "Well how about we just take them then?" he snickered, reaching for the gold bracelets.
Marik started to started to squirm around "I can't let these brutes take them!" he thought "This gold is the only thing Oka san ever gave me! Since Oka san said that she wanted to give them to me before she died! Oto san would surely punish me horribly if he found out I lost them!" Marik felt the adrenalin rush through him as he lifted his leg up and threw it back, hitting the leaders crotch dead on. He yelped out in pain and let go of Marik, falling to his knees.
Marik quickly rushed off, running as fast as he could toward the hotel. He could hear heavy footsteps pounding behind him, making him run faster. As he got to the hotel he quickly rushed in and took the stairs, since he decided the elevator would take too long. He finally got to the last set of stairs and opened the door, leading to the small hallway. The blonde rushed up to the door at the end of the hallway and started pounding on it
"Melvin! Bakura! Ryou! Somebody! Anybody just let me in!" he knocked harder as he heard loud shouts from behind the door that lead to the stairs, recognizing the voices as the three brutes "Please! Just open the door! Open it!" the door handle turned and behind it, standing in front of him, was Bakura.
Bakura raised an eyebrow "Marik? What the hell is your-" he was suddenly cut off as Marik jumped forward and wrapped his arms around the pale teen. Bakura stood still, frozen "Marik? What are you doing?"
Marik squeezed his eyes shut, digging his face into Bakura's chest "BB! They're after me! Please don't let them get me!"
Melvin then came out of his room, looking at the two with a raised eyebrow "What the fuck is going on?" he asked,
Bakura ignored him and looked down at Marik "What do you mean? Who's after you?" pounding was suddenly heard on the door, making Marik dig his face further into the Brits chest
"We know you're in there you little shit! Come out before we break this door down!" Bakura and Melvin both looked toward the door with confused expressions.
Melvin walked towards it and put his hand on the doorknob "No! Don't!" Marik yelled.
Melvin ignored him and opened the door, glaring at the three men standing behind it "Who the hell are you?" he asked,
the leader growled "None of your business" he looked behind Melvin to see the blonde still digging his face into Bakura's chest "Hey you piece of shit! How about you stop cuddling with your boyfriend and fight like a man!"
Bakura growled and pushed Marik behind him "Fight like a man? I could say the same thing back to you! How is three big brutes picking on one small kid fighting like a man?!"
the leader snarled at him "How about you step aside so we can take him?" Bakura spread his arms out in front of Marik like a human shield
"Well first you have to get through me!" the leader snarled and was about to lunge at him until a certain small white haired boy came out of his room
"Kura, what is with all the racket…" Ryou stopped as he saw the three big brutes,
the biggest one smiled "Well lookie here, another little cutie, maybe I should just go for him instea-" he was suddenly cut off by a punch to the jaw.
Melvin growled at him, fists clenched "Fuck off, before I knock the living shit out of you!"
the brute held his jaw "I'd like to see you try" Melvin then rose his foot and kicked his stomach dead on, sending him flying into the wall
"I already told you, fuck off!" the other two brutes looked at Melvin with fear and ran off, leaving their leader behind, Melvin looked down at him with fire in his eyes "If I see you touching my brother again, you're fucked! Understand?" the brute nodded and stood up, running after the other two. Melvin sighed and slammed the door, he turned and looked to Marik, who was still cowering behind Bakura, he grinned "Yeah sure Kura, you totally don't like my brother" Bakura growled and walked off to his room, closing the door behind him.
Ryou was still standing, near his bedroom door, looking at the two confused "Wh-what's going on?" he stuttered,
Melvin shrugged "I don't know, that's what I was about to ask" he looked down at his twin, frowning.
Marik just stared at him, not to sure what to say, after all, Melvin had told him to be careful. He quickly looked to the ground "Well I…uh…those guys just found me walking along the path, I didn't yell at them or anything…"
Melvin crossed his arms "Well then why did they attack you?"
Marik started to twiddle his fingers "…well I did kind of try to…uh…punch one of them" Melvin sighed and put a finger to his temple
"Marik…you should know better"
"Well they got on my nerves!" the younger twin yelled "I told them that I had to leave! And then they said is your Oto san going to get mad at you!"
Melvin just shook his head "Even if they did say that, you shouldn't let your emotions get the better of you, what if you had an epilepsy fit? You would have been helpless"
Marik pouted "Well I didn't did I! But not only did they mention Oto san, but they also tried to steal the gold braces I'm wearing! I couldn't just let them take them!" he stormed off into his room, and slammed the door, making Ryou jump.
Ryou looked to Melvin with big brown eyes "Is…is he going to be okay?"
Melvin looked to him and smiled "Yeah he will, sorry we woke you, you can go back to sleep"
Ryou smiled back and shook his head "I'm not really that tired anymore, do…do you want to watch a movie or something?" Melvin looked at him for a while, trying to see if he was serious.
He shrugged "Uh…sure, why not?" Ryou's smile widened and he walked over to the TV, with Melvin following. When Ryou had chosen the movie he sat back on the couch next to the taller blonde. Melvin looked down at him and smirked, putting an arm over his shoulder, Ryou jumped at the sudden touch and looked up at Melvin with red cheeks
"Uh…Melvin no offence but…I don't really want Bakura getting mad again…"
Melvin's smirk widened as he pulled the boy closer "Don't worry, he won't come out of his room, and you look cold" Ryou swallowed and stiffly put his head on the Egyptians shoulder. The whole time they were sitting there, Ryou was concentrating on the blonde's touch more than the movie. Halfway through the movie Ryou could feel himself getting sleepy, he slowly closed his eyes and soon fell asleep on the teens shoulder.
Melvin looked down at him and chuckled "Sure Ryou, you weren't sleepy at all"
Melvin can be sweet when he wants to be 3
Poor Marik, running away from big scary brutes, then Bakura protecting him :3
Next chapter will be out soon!
