Malik "It's where you tell everyone that you don't own us."
Neko-chan "Okay, I don't own Malik or Bakura."

"Burger World!" Malik exclaimed happily. "Come on; let's go get something to eat!"
"Burger world?" Bakura asked dubiously. "Are you sure you want to eat there?"
"Uh huh, Burger World is the greatest!" Malik pulled Bakura into the restaurant. A pretty girl asked them for their orders and Malik ordered a double cheeseburger and extra fries. Bakura got the same.
"Hungry are you?" the girl asked flirtatiously. "Maybe for something more than just food?"
Malik moved over to Bakura who slung an arm casually over his shoulder. "Not really thank you."
"Oh," the girl blushed, "I'm sorry, I didn't realize you two were on a date." She rushed off to place their orders.
"Love you 'Kura," Malik said, snuggling contentedly into Bakura's chest.
"Mmm, you too Malik. What's with the nickname though?"
"You don't like it?" Malik asked him worriedly.
Bakura shrugged, "I'm not used to having a nickname. It's rather cute actually. It's just that me and cute don't like each other much."
"Oh I wouldn't know about that." Malik teased "You look really cute when you're sleeping with your stuffed dolphin."
Bakura went red. "How do you know about that?! If Ryou told you I'm going to kill him."
"Well," Malik blushed, "Promise you won't kill me?"
"Of course, I wouldn't let anyone hurt you and that includes myself."
Malik smiled, leaning up briefly to plant a quick kiss on Bakura's lips. "Well, I sorta sneaked into your room; you know, when we were all on Kaiba's blimp at Battle city. And I saw you there sleeping and holding it. You just looked so cute that I took a picture. See," Malik pulled a photograph out of his wallet and showed it to Bakura.
"Okay, that's definitely me." Bakura covered his red face with his hands. "This is really embarrassing. I'm supposed to be evil and evil people don't like plushies."
Malik wrapped his arms around Bakura comfortingly. "It's all right. I won't tell and you don't mind me knowing do you? If you let Ryou know?"
"I guess not, but it's still not something I'm proud of." Bakura's voice was muffled by Malik's hair.
They were spared any further embarrassment by the waitress who brought them their lunch. They pulled apart and started eating. Malik dug in happily, eating almost as fast as Joey although he ate much more neatly. Bakura ate slowly, focusing on watching Malik eat. Malik's eyes were closed as he savored his food and Bakura thought he looked like an angel.
"What?" asked Malik, finally noticing that Bakura was staring at him. "Have I got ketchup on my face or something?"
"Huh, no, nothing like that," Bakura said hastily as he was jerked out of his fantasies. "Just watching you eat, you know? There isn't anything wrong with that is there?"
"Aww, that's so sweet 'Kura-chan." Malik watched in interest as a tinge of pink spread across Bakura's cheeks. He didn't want him to get too embarrassed though, so he changed the subject. "Hey, if you're not going to eat that I will."
"Go ahead," Bakura said quickly, still flustered by the comment. "It's more fun watching you than eating any-" He quickly stopped, "Um, sorry about that."
"What's to be sorry for?" Malik inquired as he stole Bakura's fries. "It's not as if I'm going to get mad at you for liking me. After all it was me who started this."
"Yeah," Bakura brightened noticeably. "It was wasn't it?"
Malik just nodded. His mouth was too full for him to answer. "So you don't mind if I stare at you?"
"Hell no," Malik replied sincerely. "I stare at you so why should I mind it when you stare at me? You don't mind me if I stare at you do you?"
Bakura smiled and pulled Malik closer to him. "Stare all you want koi. As long as it's me you're staring at I don't mind."
"Jealous 'Kura?" Malik asked.
"..." Bakura stared at his tray as though it could provide an answer for him.
"You never need to be jealous of me." Malik said, serious now. "I'm yours and no one's going to change that."
"Not if I can help it." Bakura's voice had gained an edge of menace. "No one is going to take you away from me."
"That's for sure," Malik agreed, seeing that Bakura still wasn't really sure of him. "I wouldn't want them to. I love *you* not someone else. And I never want you to stop loving me."
"I never will." Bakura said emphatically. "I'll love you forever. Love is meant to be eternal you know and I certainly don't feel like changing that."
Malik nodded vigorously and hugged Bakura again. "Neither do I."
