Ryou's eyes were wide with shock, looking down at Melvin, who was covered in mud.
Melvin groaned and shakily stood up with his back to the two British teens; Bakura growled and pushed Ryou to the side.
A circle of students had formed around the two teens, after all, it's not every day you see the bad ass in the school take on someone almost equal to himself.
Melvin started flicking the dirt off of himself "I thought I told you…" he mumbled, clenching his fists "TO STOP BEING SO FUCKING PROTECTIVE!"
He suddenly span around and punched Bakura in the jaw, making him fall and slide across the mud. The students gasped, staring at Bakura.
The Brit stood up, wiping the blood from his mouth. The rain poured down, and thunder rumbled in the distance.
Bakura's eyes suddenly lit up, and he ran toward Melvin "That's not for you to decide!" he yelled, throwing a punch.
Melvin dodged it and grabbed his arm, twisting it "You just have to put up with the fact that Ryou loves me! The only reason you are so protective of him is because you're afraid of losing him!" Bakura threw his head back, hitting Melvin right on the nose.
There was a horrifying crack sound as Melvin let go of the pale teen and held his bleeding nose, clenching his jaw to hold back the groans of pain.
Bakura's eye was twitching "That's not true! I'm just afraid of you hurting him! You're a fucking creep!" he then ran forward and kneed the Egyptian in the stomach, winding him.
Melvin fell to his knees, holding his stomach. Bakura was about to grab Ryou and walk off, positive he won the fight.
He then heard laughter, making him freeze and turn his head toward Melvin.
The blonde stood up, still laughing "You honestly think I'll believe that? I have a brother too, Bakura. Although I'll never say it to his face, he means the world to me! Since Ishizu left, he's the only one that's kept me sane, and if anyone ever touched him I'd kill them…" Bakura heard the splash of mud and felt himself get tackled to the ground "SO THIS FIGHT ISN'T OVER!" Melvin wrapped his hands around the teens neck, making him choke.
Melvin then punched and scratched the Brit's face, leaving cuts and large bruises. Bakura could feel the cuts start stinging painfully, and the rain certainly didn't help. He found it hard to look at the blonde because of the vicious attacks and the rain falling into his eyes, blurring his vision.
Bakura eventually found the strength to knee Melvin in the stomach and punch him in the face, doing both actions in one quick motion. The blonde stood up and stumbled back, wiping the blood from his nose. To him everything smelt like mud and copper, his nose continuing to drip with blood.
Bakura growled and stood up "What the hell did I ever do to Marik?! I couldn't care less about that brat!" he yelled. Melvin clenched his fists; they started shaking from the cold rain, but also from the firing rage building up in his blood
"Stop lying to me! I know you touched him! Ryou informed me that you kissed him!"
Bakura froze in shock, his eyes went glassy and almost lifeless "But…how did you…"
Melvin growled "Apparently Akefia saw you, so how about you stop being such a fucking hypocrite and leave my brother alone?!"
Bakura clenched his fists and ran toward the blonde, yelling "For your information, that kiss meant NOTHING!" he punched Melvin in the jaw as he said the last word.
Melvin didn't even stumble; he just snarled and punched him back. The Brit almost fell back from the hit, tasting blood in his mouth. Bakura yelled out in rage and tackled him to the ground, pinning him in the mud.
Melvin looked up at him, fire burning in his eyes "Why does Marik mean so much to you?! He's already had enough pain in his life; you don't have to give him more! You'll just end up hurting him, you'll just toss him aside like a piece of trash and dump him!" Bakura stared down at Melvin, his eyes slowly widening.
He could feel them watering up, thinking about what he had done to Marik. Thinking about how much the smaller blonde probably hated him. He thought back to that fight they had in the hall, and how Bakura could hear the Egyptian crying as he was walking off, making him feel like a horrible, disgusting person.
Bakura remembered how he almost threw up as he turned the corner, feeling all that guilt building up inside him, making his stomach gurgle in pain. Why couldn't he just have accepted that Marik wanted to be friends? Then he wouldn't be in this mess, pinning the Egyptians brother to the ground with tears pouring from his eyes.
Melvin looked up at Bakura with confusion, the Brit was crying, his eyes were red and watery, confirming that it wasn't the rain.
Bakura's eyes narrowed and he yelled out in rage, punching Melvin across the face, then punching him again. He continued to do this, making every punch harder than the other, not even giving Melvin a chance to escape from under him.
Bakura could feel more tears running down his face "I DON'T CARE ABOUT MARIK! HE'S THE ONE THAT HURT ME! HE'S THE ONE THAT PUT ME IN PAIN!" he yelled, never stopping his attacks.
Melvin had so much blood running down his face; he had been punched multiple times and could feel himself blacking out. His vision started to blur and shake, the sounds of all the students yelling fading out.
The punching suddenly stopped, Melvin looked up to see Ryou holding Bakura back with tears in his eyes
"Bakura! Stop!" he yelled "Melvin didn't do anything! It was me! I initiated that kiss! Just stop hurting him, please! I love him Bakura! And whether you like it or not, he's my boyfriend!" Melvin took this opportunity to crawl out from under Bakura, feeling his face and stomach burn in pain.
He started groaning and coughing, holding his stomach. Ryou ran over to him and put a hand on his back, moving it up and down in a soothing motion. Bakura stood up and looked at them with wide, quivering eyes.
He slowly moved forward, realizing he had hurt his friend and his brother "Ryou…I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"
"I don't want to hear it, Bakura! There's being protective, but then there's just being stupid! So just go away! I will never forgive you for this!" Bakura felt a chill go up his spine, Ryou was yelling, he sounded so angry.
Bakura started to slowly back away, feeling his eyes water up once more. Ryou has never been this mad, ever, he had gone too far. Now not only has he lost Marik, he's also lost one of the only friends he has ever made, and his brother.
A teacher suddenly came out from the circle, Bakura recognized her as the teacher he had for history, aka: Marik and Melvin's sister.
She ran over to Melvin and started mumbling something in Arabic; Bakura couldn't hear it over the pouring rain and the painful ringing in his ears. He then turned and ran, running out the school gates.
Ishizu stood up and yelled "Mr Touzoku, come back here!" Bakura ignored her, running through Domino City and looking for the only person he knew wouldn't hate him.
He continued to run, running as fast as he could, knowing this place was close by. People started yelling at him to watch where he was going, they even started swearing. He suddenly tripped and fell on the ground, feeling the water from the pathway splash on him like a small wave.
He clenched his fists and stood up, continuing to run. He squeezed his eyes shut, letting the tears fall
"Please be home…please, please be home"
…
Akefia was sitting on the big white cushiony couch, flicking through the channels on the giant flat screen TV with a blank look on his face. He suddenly heard a pounding on the door, making him frown.
Sighing, he turned off the TV and stood up, walking over to the door. His eyes widened in shock as he opened the door and saw who it was.
There, standing in front of him, was Bakura, soaking wet and muddy, with tears running down his face.
Bakura stepped forward expressionless and started banging his head against Akefia's chest.
The man looked down at him confused; Akefia put his hands on the teens shoulders and pushed him back, looking at his face. His eyes widened at all the cuts and bruises that were clearly showing, some cuts were still fresh and dripping with blood.
Akefia lightly pushed him inside and closed the door. Bakura kept his back to his brother, looking down at the ground.
After a few moments of silence, Akefia spoke up "…what the hell happened?" he asked.
Bakura clenched his jaw, trying to hold back the tears "I've just messed up my whole life, that's what happened!"
Akefia leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, staring at his brothers back "It's because of Marik…isn't it?" Bakura let out a squeaking kind of sound, trying to hold back the tears. Akefia smiled and walked up to him, putting a hand on his shoulder "It's okay, Otouto, and by the looks of it you got into a fight" Bakura looked away from Akefia, trying not to show the tears.
He was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath "…do you remember Melvin?"
Akefia thought for a moment, then nodded "Yeah he's Marik's twin, the one with the spikey hair right?"
Bakura nodded "Well…Ryou says he loved him, I saw them together and…I just got so mad seeing them together. Earlier today I got into a fight with Marik and I felt like crap, in fact, I still do. Now Ryou hates me for hurting Melvin and Melvin hates me for touching Marik. Not to mention that Marik probably never wants to speak to me again!" he then glared up at Akefia "You're the one that told Ryou about that kiss Marik and I shared" Akefia looked down at him with wide eyes.
He crossed his arms and shrugged "Well, I just thought it was good for you to be in a relationship, and I thought Ryou would too. So I told him, and he was very happy about it."
Bakura sighed and fell onto the couch "Yeah, but now I don't have a relationship with anyone, not even my own twin" he groaned, putting his head in his hands.
Akefia sighed "You've got yourself in quite a mess, Otouto…I think you should go apologize to Melvin and Ryou"
Bakura shook his head "Won't work, Ryou said he'd never forgive me for that fight I had with Melvin, and he sounded so mad, it was almost scary."
Akefia sighed and sat next him "I thought you would know Ryou better by now, he's probably worried sick. If he goes home and sees you're not there, he'll be running around town trying to find you. He loves you, Bakura, and you love him. You two are twins!" Bakura thought about it for a bit, and soon nodded in agreement.
He then frowned, looking up at Akefia "But, what am I going to do about Marik? I know a simple apology won't fix this, I really hurt him, and not just mentally" he could feel his stomach lurch, the same feeling he had when walking away from Marik in the hall.
Akefia sighed "The only way I can see you two making up…is telling him how you really feel" Bakura's eyes widened "How I…feel?" he repeated, feeling his heart racing.
Akefia nodded, a smile on his face. His smile then faded as he looked at Bakura "…you've never said those three words to anyone, have you?" he said, pointing at him.
The Brit's cheeks heated up slightly "Well…I've said it to Ryou…once or twice"
Akefia frowned "That's completely different, he's your brother!"
Bakura's eyebrows furrowed, and he started twiddling his thumbs "But…I've just never met anyone I've actually liked, sure I've kissed people before, but I had no feelings for them. Marik just…he makes my heart race"
Akefia sighed "And that's why Ryou and I thought this relationship is good for you! Now all you have to do is say what you just told me to Marik. After all, it'd be nice to let someone else in your life, right?"
Bakura thought for a moment, then nodded and stood up "You're right, I need to tell him, I have to tell him! It's just three words, it can't be that hard!...right?"
Akefia shrugged "It's all up to you Otouto, now get out of here!" he said, smiling.
Bakura smiled back and walked toward the door.
He opened it and stopped, looking back at his older brother "Akefia…" he mumbled, Akefia looked at him with a raised eyebrow "…thanks, I really felt like crap" Akefia smirked and gave a small wave.
Bakura closed the door and left, hearing his footsteps from outside fade.
Akefia ran a hand through his hair and sighed
"The things I do in this crazy excuse of a family"
Akefia you're so sweet, helping Bakura like that! I was going to make this two chapters but couldn't be bothered. This story is going to end in a few chapters, not going to say how many because I don't know myself, but it will end soon!
Thanks for reading!
