~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Oh my Ra... Did he just say he actually cares about me?! Yeah, great.... It's a god thing, of course, but that doesn't make it any less.... Oh Ra....
"Bakura? Are you okay?"
Do I look okay? Hello, I think I'm even paler than usual, which is hard to manage. "Honestly? No I'm not. I'm about to die of shock." Heh, great thing to say, really it is, but my brain isn't capable of too much else. Damn my loss of control of the Engish language.
"What's wrong? Please tell me," he said, looking up at me with pleading eyes, eyes with tears shining in them. Oh Ra, I didn't want to make him cry, I really didn't...
"I just..." I started, trying to find the right words, "Just that... I didn't think you cared... about me... It scared me when you were so worried..." It's not easy trying to express this, especially without totally spilling out my feelings.
"Oh.... of course I care, Bakura.... of course I care...." With that, my control just totally broke down. I ran to him and grabbed him in a tight embrace, my lips finding his. At first, he was so shocked he could hardly move, but hten he relaxed into the kiss. I almost metled with relief... Oh...my.... Ra
A few seconds later I pulled away mostly for lack of breath. I stood there gasping, just enoying the feeling.... I was brought back down to earth by the phone ringing, and reluctantly said, "You should go get that..."
"Yeah..." replied Malik, pulling out of my arms and grabbing the phone, "Who is it?" A pause, and he lsitens for a while to whoever is on the other line, "Yeah, he's over here... yes he's okay.... I don't know.... I'll ask.... Okay, I'll tell him."
"Who is it?" I asked.
"Ryou. He wanted to let you know that if you're not home by midnight sharp he's going to rip your guts out when you do get home."
"Ryou made a threat?" I asked, quite frankly shocked, "You're kidding!"
"Yeah, he's been spending too much time around you," Malik noted with a laught. Thank Ra he's laughing again. I love his laugh...
"Oh well," I replied, "He was bit of a weakling, anyway, I guess it's for the better that I'm such a bad influence." Exactly. I didn't really think it's so bad that Ryou was finally sticking up for himself. After all, I would not stand to see him getting beaten up at school again. I'd come to see him like the little brother I never had.
Though I now decided to ask a nagging question, "Your sister, what exactly does she know?"
"Well... with her Millennium Tauk, she probably foresaw this ages ago," he replied, "It can't be all that much of a shock." Yeah, that's a wonderful point. If you can see the present, past, and near future, your brother's being gay probably won't surprise you much.
"Of course. Anyway it's..." I looked at my watch, "Damnit! It's eleven thirty!! It'll take me at least twenty minutes to run back to Ryou's house."
"Of course. Wouldn't want his wrath to fall on you... Bye Bakura."
"Bye Malik! See you tomorrow!" I shouted as I raced out the door. About four blocks before I reached Ryou's house something sank in. I had _kissed_ Malik Ishtar. I know, I know, stupid for it to sink in this late, but that was just me. And I liked it. I really liked the feeling, knowing that there was actually someone who cared about me. I couldn't remember ever feeling like that. No one had ever cared, starting back from my childhood in Egypt.
Then again, I really should start running. Standing in the cold would do very little good, especially since Ryou would not be happy if I got back late. I ran the rest of the way, kaing it just before the clock on Ryou's counter turned to midnight.
"Made it!" I breatherd as I collapsed onto a couch.
"By half a second," said the voice of my Hikari, standing in the doorway behind me.
"So what?"
"Nothing," he said with a very uncharacteristic smirk, "So what were you doing with Malik?" That tone of voice scared me... Damnit, I just have kept open our mental link. Damnit...
"Ha, ha, ha. Very funny. You got a problem with that?"
"No absolutely not," he said with a smile, "I'm glad you're happy."
"Even if it is with a psychopath?" I asked, laughing.
"Yeah, even if it is. You two make such a cute couple," he sighed happily, "And you should get to sleep now. It's late."
"Yes, mom," I replied, "Good night." And I walked up to my room. I plopped down on the bed to think about what exactly was going on in my life. A few images flashed before my eyes, but the thing that stayed most in my mind was kissing Malik. You know, he's a really good kisser. Always thought he'd be.
Yes, that's about it. A pretty nice change from before, in my opinion, when I'd been almost suicidal. So now I had finally found a way to express my feelings to Malik. And I only had one thing that I think about. What now?!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
That review button loves you! Review and you'll get hugs from Malik himself. Oh, what I would not give to be in Bakura's place at this moment.... *sigh* But they do make such a cute couple! ^___^
