Making My Own Paradise

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[November 13 - Entry 81]

I knew there was something wrong about how Ryou has been acting lately. Right after we found out that he had no one to be with he was a little depressed. Even if he was being with Anzu it was better then being alone. Well anyways he was all mopping around, then the next day he looked like Christmas had came early.

I had asked him what was up with the sudden change and he just smiled and said that classes were going well. Now I don't know about you, but people don't go though a change like that because 'classes are going well'. I couldn't figure out why he was acting this way, it didn't make sense. Well until today.

I and Ryou went over to Marik's house, we're studying cells now, and Ryou and Malik had a paper to do.

*~*~*~*

Bakura sat on the floor his back to the couch where Marik was sitting. He put the finishing touches on the plant cell he had been drawing.

"What do we do when were done with the drawing?" Bakura asked.

"Label it" Marik said not even looking up from his drawing. Bakura looked down at the sheet that had the assignment on it. The first word on the list was 'cell wall'. Bakura looked back at his drawing.

"What in Ra's name is a cell wall?" Bakura asked out loud looking from the sheet to his drawing. Marik looked up from his drawing. Bakura had sat it down and was now searching through his book.

"Nice tracing" Marik said. "It's almost better then the book"

"I didn't trace it" Bakura said still looking though his book.

"Really?"

"Yes really" Bakura growled "what the hell is a cell wall."

Marik leaned over and pointed to where the cell wall was on Bakura's drawing. Bakura drew a line from it and labeled it. Then he went on to label everything else, with much help from Marik. Once they were finished Marik was laying on the couch Bakura was sketching on a blank sheet of note book paper.

~*~*~*~

I was trying to draw a picture of Egypt for Marik but it had been so long since I had seen the tremendous pyramids, felt the hot sand at my feet, the warm sun on my skin. I put the pencil and paper down. I couldn't draw it. I couldn't remember what it looked liked. The mental images I had been trying to hold on to had finally faded.

*~*~*~*

"Thou shalt put the stands away" Bakura said quietly. Marik opened his eyes and smiled. It was a code that he and Marik had come up with so The Rule wouldn't know what was going on. To the untrained ear it sounded like nonsense when they could have been saying 'I want some now'.

~*~*~*~

I left the room with Marik not to far behind me. When I got to the stairs a heard a door close rather forcefully. I looked to Marik, who looked to me. We slowly went up the stairs together very curious about what was going on.

Once we got up to the top of the stairs we saw that only one door was closed. I reached my hand out to the handle.

*~*~*~*

Bakura turned the handle and opened the door. There was gasp and Bakura stared wide-eyed. Then he grabbed Marik and dragged him into the bathroom, closing the door. Marik had the same look Bakura did.

Malik and Ryou were on the floor staring up at them. They looked just as shocked as the two that had walked in on them. Malik blinked and removed his hand from Ryou's pants.

"Fuck..." Marik said quietly. (*gasps* I cant believe I just used that word O.o;;;)

"That looks like what they were going to do." Bakura said quietly to, in case the microphones outside the room could hear them.

"I... uh- we can explain." Malik said quickly, Ryou turned many shades of red.

~*~*~*~

I can't believe Malik and Ryou were making out in the bathroom! Of all the people to defy The Rule I'd never guess Ryou or Malik even. It turns out that they've been together ever since they found out Ryou was gonna be alone again.

Ryou had a crush on Malik and didn't want to be alone. Malik didn't want Ryou to be alone anymore so it just sort of happened. Man theres a lot that goes on in Paradise then you'd think.
