Title: Maybe

Pairings: s/j, m/m, yy/y, b/r

Warnings: Yaoi of course. Actually this warning is really redundant.

Disclaimers: It's not mine. Sigh. How many times do I have to say this? My heart sank every time I typed this line. : (

~*~

Marik's tongue probed at his entrance and Malik felt himself gasped, allowing a silky and bittersweet taste to enter his mouth and capturing him into a world of passion. He moaned into his darker half's mouth. This was better than what he had always been dreaming for. It was pure bliss.

But it was short lived. Marik broke the kiss. He laid both his hands on Malik's shoulders and looked at him straight in the eye.  "Why are you returning my kiss?"

His Hikari looked away, refusing to answer. / Should I tell him? But he will only laugh at me. /

Marik cupped his chin, turning his face back. His eyes softened considerably and his voice was gentle. It sounded like soothing music to Malik. "Tell me."

Malik stared into his eyes, desperately searching for something. But they revealed nothing. There was only gentleness and although Malik found his hopes soaring, he couldn't help but remind himself that there was a chance he would end up broken.

"I…" his voice was hesitant. / Arrghh. Forget it. I will just spill it. / Taking a deep breath, he gushed out. "BecauseIloveyou."

The other raised an eyebrow. "What was that?"

Malik glared, which was not really that successful since he was feeling a hell of a nervous wreck inside. "You heard that!" he stated indignantly.

Marik smiled, causing Malik to widen his eyes. / Marik smiled. By Ra, he actually smiled! /

Malik was torn between dying from happiness and worrying himself over his confession. But that was just the beginning of his surprise.

He gasped as arms wrapped around him and he found himself locked in a warm embrace. Marik laid his head on Malik's. Nothing was said as Malik forced himself to enjoy the sensation of being held by his beloved instead of being a worrywart.

All of a sudden, Malik felt his back against the carpeted floor. He looked up at Marik, astounded. Marik only smirked. "You are mine."

However, as Malik felt his clothing ripped away from his body, he thought he heard, "I love you too, you know."

~*~

"Seto…" Jou breathed out, his eyes shut tight and his hands wound tight around Seto's neck.

"Hmm?" He licked the earlobe and licked his way down the soft creamy flesh, nipping and sucking. "You taste so good."

"Even…* moan * better than the jelly at dinner?" Jou gasped, his eyes opened in hazy pleasure.

"Much better." His hand slowly unbuttoned the white shirt, letting it dance lightly on the silky chest of his beloved. "Besides, you are probably the only one who thought it was nice. I am thinking of hiring a new cook."

Jou tried to pout in annoyance but Seto pushed himself against him, letting him feel the hardness that was growing. His supposedly pout turned into flushed face as a gasp escape from his mouth. "It was nice and…Seto… sweet." He managed to get out a coherent sentence stubbornly.

"Not as sweet as you." He captured Jou's mouth into a scorching kiss, releasing his lust and passion for the boy, before breaking it, and gasped out. "Bed."

Seto pushed Jou roughly onto the bed. He kissed him and forced his tongue into the entrance, setting both of them on fire. Not that Jou minded, it was intense and he felt himself engulfed the flames of passion and lust, as Seto ripped off his shirt impatiently.

All words of protests were muffled by the kiss and soon, Jou found both his hands locked in a powerful grip by his blue-eyed lover. Nothing registered in his blank mind except for the searing treatment he was receiving. He did not even noticed Seto slipping his hand under the pillow until he felt cold metal around his wrists.

"Wha…?" he looked up, surprised and saw his hands trapped by handcuffs. He looked at a smirking Seto. "Since when did you get that?"

"Since you were lost in pleasure in my hands." He leaned down and trailed wet kisses down Jou's neck. The blonde promptly blushed at the thought of what was about to come.

"Seto…"

"I am going to cannibalize you, pup."

"Seto…I…"

"No protests."

"I…I…"

"A bad pup has to be punished."

"I…"

"What's the matter, pup?"

"I am…going..to…snee…AH CHOO!"

Seto stared at Jou. The blonde only grinned sheepishly. "Sorry, I couldn't help it."

Seto rolled his eyes and sighed. The mood was already broken. He leaned down and placed a chaste kiss on Jou's soft lips. "Baka."

(The next morning.)

Yami and Yugi walked into the dining room, their stomach rumbling as the aroma of breakfast floated into their noses. Well, Yugi's stomach sure did rumbled. As for Yami, he silently wondered how Kaiba was so capable of finding such a good cook. Their fingers were lightly laced together as they entered the room, and they found themselves staring at Ryou's back.

Yugi giggled slightly as Yami cleared his throat in a futile attempt to separate Bakura and Ryou who were kissing like there's no tomorrow. Ryou was sitting on his yami's lap with his arms laced around his neck. His waist was captured by strong arms and if the two of them heard Yami, their actions clearly showed no notice of it.

Yami glared, obviously unhappy of the fact that he was being ignored. To say the least, he was once a Pharaoh. No one ignored his presence like that.

"Are you done, tomb robber?" he asked through gritted teeth.

Ryou perked up at this and he attempted to break off the kiss but Bakura growled and pulled him back. However, Ryou stopped him and smiled gently. "I am hungry. Let's have breakfast."

Bakura snickered. "Who says I am not hungry? But not for food anyway." Ryou promptly blushed. Bakura turned and glared at Yami. "Do you always have fun interrupting people?"

Yami shook his head firmly. "Not quite." He went to the table together with Yugi and sat down. "But somehow I take pleasure in interrupting you."

Bakura growled. "Why you…" He was interrupted.

"What's this? Arguing early in the morning?" It was Malik. He grinned at the doorway, with Marik at his side.

Bakura humped and sat back in his comfy chair. "The pharaoh started it."

Marik lifted an eyebrow, amused. "Oh? Yami actually started an argument? I wonder how…"

Bakura sneered. "I have no reason to tell you."

The other just smirked and sat down. "And I have no reason to waste my time by arguing with you."

Bakura sniggered. "Apparently, Yami has."

Yami narrowed his eyes. "No I don't. Consider it your fortune that you actually have the honor of me in the mood to argue with you."

Ryou, Yugi and Malik just ignored them. They were already quite used to their yami's pointless and incessant unpleasant exchange whenever they saw each other. They sighed as the arguments of pancakes now traveled to their ears.

"Sometimes I really hope they argue about more meaningful stuff," Malik muttered. "Quarreling over pancakes isn't exactly an ideal choice."

Yugi nodded as he bit into his toast. He grinned as something dawned on him. "So what happened between you and Marik last night?" he asked playfully.

Malik froze, before he felt a strange fuzzy warm feeling and his cheeks heating up. Ryou chuckled. It was fun seeing such a reaction from his good friend. He watched as the Egyptian shifted slightly in his chair. "Well…actually…"

"Actually what?" Yugi pressed.

"Did he confess?" Ryou asked eagerly.

"Maybe." Malik suddenly felt hazy in wonder. His mind was sent into fantasy as the events of previous night came back to him.

Yugi and Ryou looked at each other in confusion. They turned back to Malik and asked in unison. "Maybe?"

Malik nodded. "I thought I heard it but…" his face visibly turned crest-fallen as his heart sank, "I could very well imagined it," His voice was sad and had a tone of resignation.

Both Ryou and Yugi felt a pang of sadness as they looked at Malik.

"Don't worry, Malik," Yugi said in a reassuring tone. "I am sure you heard it correctly."

Ryou nodded in agreement. "Besides, Marik is probably the type who does not express his feelings and bottoms everything up inside his heart. Take me for example. I can count very well on my fingers how many times Bakura says, "I love you" in a year. But I know that deep in his heart, he loves me and probably says that line mentally more times than me."

Malik brightened up at that and felt much better. He smiled gratefully. Amidst their conversations and arguments, neither the yamis noticed what the hikaris were talking about nor did the hikaris realize that their yamis could very well overhear what they were talking about.

Fortunately for the three light souls, the heated arguments between the three darker halves had drifted from pancakes to cookies and they were too busy giving their views to notice what was going on beside them.

All of a sudden, realization hit Yugi. He had always felt that something was missing since he came into the room. There was a lack of the usual bickering between a pup and his master.

"Where's Jounochi and Kaiba?" he asked.

Ryou shook his head, indicating that he had absolutely no idea. Malik shrugged.

Yugi turned towards Yami, Bakura and Marik. Interrupting them was the last thing he wanted to right now, but being Yugi, he was concerned about his best friend.

"Erm, guys?"

He was ignored. Obviously his soft voice was lost in the sea of heated quarrel. Yugi silently wondered where they get the energy for arguing after a whole night of screwing their hikaris.

"Why don't you just ask them to shut up?" Malik suggested. Yugi shook his head. He seriously doubted it would work.

With a determined look in his eyes, he went straight to Yami and placed a soft yet sweet kiss to Yami's lips. The three yamis were stunned, not by the sudden intrusion but by the move of the usually soft and shy Yugi. For once, there was a sweet silence in the room.

"Yami?" Yugi smiled at him.

Finally shaken out of his surprise, Yami smiled back. "You should do that more often, aibou." Yugi blushed.

Bakura smirked. "I see that Pharaoh's light has gotten bolder. By the way, why did you interrupt us, Yugi?"

Yugi seemed to realize the root of his action and asked quickly. "I wanted to ask if anyone of you knows where's Jou and Kaiba?"

Marik snickered. "What a question to ask, Yugi. Of course they are in their room, screwing the daylights out of each other."

~*~

Marik was half-right. Jou and Seto were in their room, but they were not screwing.

Seto had waked up that morning to find out that Jou had forbid him to go anywhere near one meter of him. Seto who had wanted to make up for the night before was extremely annoyed at his pup.

"Just what is the reason for this, pup?" he asked, irritated.

"Can't you see?" Jou half-shouted back at him.

"Can't I see what?" he asked, confused.

"I caught a cold!"

"So?"

Jou sighed in exasperation. "If you come near me, you will catch it too!" he covered his face with a pillow and wailed loudly. "My holiday is ruined!"

It slowly sank into Seto that Jou refused to go near him was for his own good. At this, a warm feeling overcame him and his smiled. It was a rare one.

Jou felt warm familiar arms encircled him. He lifted his head and glared, opening his mouth, "What did I say about…hmfph…" he was cut off, being captured into a passionate kiss by Seto Kaiba. He moaned, his mind taken into another much sweeter world other than the world of flu and misery.

However, he broke off the kiss reluctantly. "What are you doing, you baka? You could catch a cold too. Let me tell you this, Seto, in case you haven't caught a cold before in your whole entire life. It's torture and it sucks big time."

Seto chuckled. "You are right. I haven't. My Kaiba genes are too strong to be beaten by a trivial virus such as a cold." He kissed Jou lightly on the forehead.

Jou shook his head stubbornly. "It's better to be safe than sorry."

"Don't worry, pup. No way will I catch a cold." He said reassuringly, then smirked,

"Besides, I will take very good care of you."
