A Moment in Time: Chapter Six

------------------------------------------------------------

Bakura stared at his light, utterly and completely at a

loss for words.

Ryou gave Bakura a look of concern. "Are you alright,

yami? What's wrong?"

The said spirit shook his head quickly, trying to dispel

his confusion. "But... you said... about Malik --"

He was interrupted by a soft laugh. To him, that laugh

was the most beautiful thing he had ever heard. "Oh, yami."

Bakura looked almost hurt, and Ryou swiftly replaced his

amusement with a serious expression. "Yami -- *Bakura* -- I

told you. I love you. And I love Malik. I... I don't know

how that's possible, or if it's possible at all, but it's how

I feel." He looked down. "If you don't share my feelings,

that's okay... I could, I don't know --"

He was caught off guard as his darkness swept him up in

a rather intimate embrace, the taller boy's face buried in

Ryou's neck. "I've loved you for so long," Bakura murmured

into his light's ear, a suspiciously wet trail working its

way down to Ryou's chin.

"Y-yami...?!"

"I'm sorry, Ryou," Bakura finally whispered, not

meeting his light's eyes. "I... I didn't know how to tell

you, and... then you and Malik... well..."

Ryou leaned forward and took Bakura's chin in his

hands, a serious look appearing. "I love you, Bakura. And

I love Malik. Does that bother you? I'm sorry if it does,

but... I can't stop my feelings..."

Bakura stopped smiling and stood up to his full

height, a grave expression on his pale face. "Do you," he

began slowly, "know how long I've wanted to fuck him?"

Ryou stared at his yami, dumbfounded, and Bakura

burst out laughing. "Of course I don't mind, love," he

murmured sensually into the smaller boy's ear. "I might

even get used to the whole thing. And who knows?" a

wicked grin appeared on his face. "Now that you've

gotten a taste of sex, maybe we can have a threesome."

The laughter of the small half-albino and the taller

boy echoed throughout the neighborhood.

-------------------------------------------------------------

"Yami! Yami!" The excited shout of his light caught

Mariku's attention, making him look up from the murder

movie he had been watching on the tv.

"What?"

Malik grinned, joy shining out from his face. "Ryou

finally said it! He said he loved me! He loves me, Mariku! He

fucking loves me!"

Mariku cocked an eyebrow. "Oh? What about

the tomb robber? Where the hell does he come into this?"

Malik stopped cold, a mix of confusion, lust, fear,

love, and thoughtfulness on his face. "A-ano..."

The tall blonde egyptian rolled his eyes. "Ass."

"Shut up!" Malik shot back, trying to regain his

balance. "You're just jealous because Ryou doesn't love

you!"

Mariku stared at his light. "You still think I love

the kid? What the fuck are you thinking, brat?"

Malik grinned. "Don't you deny it! The only person

you might love otherwise is --" He stopped cold, a look

of horror washing over his tan face. "No..." he breathed.

His darkness grinned lecherously. "Damn straight."

-------------------------------------------------------------

"Seto!" Mokuba ran at his brother, fear in his

expression. "I'm sorry, I tried to stop them, but Malik came

for Ryou and I couldn't make them stay and --"

"I know." the blunt, quiet answer from his elder

brother silenced the young Kaiba immediately, a look of

concern on his youthful face.

"Are you okay, Seto? What happened?"

"I met Ryou."

Mokuba stared at his brother, then led the tall boy

to a seat. "What did he say?" There was anger in his voice,

but there was something else, too; a sort of fear that

echoed throughout his whole being.

Seto looked at his brother in astonishment, then

softly laughed, surprising both of them. "I found out

that he's in love with, not just his damn darkness, but

that wretched Ishtar boy as well." A dry, bitter smile.

"I should have known, but I guess I'm thick that way."

"I could have told you that," Mokuba muttered

under his breath, though unfortunantly not quietly enough.

"What?" Seto's voice was sharp, and the younger

Kaiba brother swallowed.

"Um... well, see, I --"

"Mokuba." Seto's voice was quiet, now, but

brooking no disobedience, and Mokuba shut his mouth.

"Better. Now, Mokuba, I want the truth. How do you feel

about me?"

Mokuba looked up in surprise and shock. Of all

the questions he was expecting, that was one of the last.

"Wh-what...?"

He was further silenced by a hard kiss on his

young and soft lips, his brother's arms around his back,

on his knees before him. His eyes widened in surprise and

shock, then he slowly closed them, leaning into the

embrace.

It was over as suddenly as it began, leaving Mokuba

panting and slightly flushed, his eyes wide and wondering

at his elder brother.

Seto smiled sadly. "No, I'm not using you,

Mokuba. I... See, I finally realized what it was in your voice

whenever you'd ask me about Yuugi or Ryou. It was jealousy.

You were jealous. Jealous of me; right, Mokuba?"

Mokuba was silent, but his face gave away his

answer. Seto stared at him. "Why?" he asked softly,

his blue eyes fixed on the smaller brown ones.

"I... I..." Seto continued to watch him, his eyes

patient, his gaze penetrating. "I... I just love you,

big brother... I... I didn't want to lose you --"

"You love me in a different way than how brothers

are supposed to love each other, don't you, Mokuba?"

The smaller boy flushed with shame, not answering,

and Seto's gaze sharpened. "Don't you?"

The answer was almost inaudible. "Yes."

Suddenly the elder Kaiba's lips were on his brothers,

his arms around the smaller boy's slender torso, his

warm tongue in the other's mouth. "You love me the same

way I love you, then, right?" Seto murmured into his

little brother's ear, his tongue tracing little circles

on the boy's neck.

Mokuba gasped, then gently, almost shyly, moved his

hand into his brother's shirt, softly caressing the smooth

and hard muscle underneath. "I... I guess I do..." he

whispered back, flushing as his brother nipped gently at

the hollow of his throat.

"Then let's continue this elsewhere," Seto grinned

slyly, lust and love clouding his eyes as he picked up

the smaller boy and carried him into the bedroom.

-------------------------------------------------------------

"Oh, for crying out loud," Malik groaned, sitting

back on the sofa. "Why him of all people?"

Mariku shrugged. "Hell if I know. It just... kind of

happened. I mean, hot damn! Have you seen his body?!"

Malik gaped at his darkness. "Wh-what...?"

Mariku grinned, looking up at the ceiling and

casually turning off the t.v. "Well... I think it might have been

at Battle City, when you were making a total ass of yourself --"

"Hold it! That was you, not me!" Malik protested.

"Shut up and let me finish," Mariku grumbled,

swatting at his light with a pillow. "As I was saying, as you were

making an ass of yourself, he was standing there, pretending to

be some kind of fucking cheerleader." a lecherous smirk crossed

his face. "Damn, can you imagine him in a cheerleaders outfit?!

I would *so* take him right then and --"

"YAMI!!!"

---------------------------------------------------------------------

"So, um, what the fuck am I supposed to tell him

again?"

"Oh, come on, yami! Just tell him you're sorry, then..."

"...Right..."

"Oh, I don't know! Just say whatever's on your heart!"

"Who says I have a heart?"

"*I* do, so do it!"

"Fine, fine..." Bakura moved to the front door of the

Ishtar's home and knocked, eyeing his light with both annoyance

and affection. "Honestly, you are such a manipulative little brat!"

Ryou smiled innocently, clasping his hands behind his

back." But you still love me, right?"

"Don't push me, dammit."

The door suddenly opened, leaving Bakura' s hand less

than an inch from Mariku's face. "Who are you talking to?!"

"Gah!" Bakura nearly jumped backwards then stopped,

scowling at the taller egyptian. "What the fuck! Don't do that!" a

slight cough from behind him reminded him of why he was there,

and he looked Mariku in the eye." Is Malik there?"

"I'm here," Malik's voice came behind his darkness,

startling both Bakura and Mariku.

"Malik!" Ryou exclaimed, jumping at the blonde

egyptian.

"Ryou!" Malik replied, hugging the pale haired boy to

his body. "Did you talk with Bakura?"

"We talked," Bakura interrupted, his arms crossed across

his chest as he frowned at the two lights. "And now we need to talk to

you, Malik. Why don't you invite us in?"

Malik swallowed and looked to his darkness for support,

but Mariku simply shrugged. "Whatever," he replied, moving back and

opening the door.

After they four young men were seated, Malik sitting

next to Mariku and Ryou sitting next to Bakura, Malik spoke.

"You wanted to talk to me?"

Bakura sat back, his arms crossed on his chest once more.

"We did. Ryou and I talked after we left you, and we both admitted

to one another that we do love each other." he tactfully ignored

the snort coming from next to Malik and smiled softly at his light.

"We also talked about you, Malik."

Malik was currently sweating bullets. "D-did you?"

Ryou smiled sweetly. "I told him that, as much as I

loved him, I loved you, as well. I don't love one of you more than

the other; I love you both the same."

Malik was cringing. "And...?"

Bakura looked straight at the young egyptian. "Malik,

tell me the truth. How do you feel about me?" At Malik's

confused expression, he tried again. "I mean... damn it, this is

so stupid! Could you ever see yourself loving me, Malik?"

Everyone present looked to the short tanned egyptian,

anticipating his response. Malik's mouth opened and closed, clearly

caught unawares, staring at nothing in particular.

Ryou looked nervous, as did Mariku, though no one

could figure out how that worked. "Well...?" Bakura ventured,

suddenly nervous.

The room stayed silent.
