Dice
*****
Warning: Contains Yaoi.
Those who do not like that should turn back now.
Pairing(s): Ryou/Bakura, Yami/Yugi, Malik/Marik, Seto/Jou
I'm splitting this story into four parts. One part will be for
Ryou/Bakura, one for Yami/Yugi, one for Malik/Marik, and one for Seto/Jou.
They'll be in separate chapters, but they all seem revolve around the same
song; Dice.
You don't have to read all four, but you're welcome to! ^^
'Dice' is a song by Finley Quaye, and
features Beth Orton
(Don't worry if you've never heard of either one of them, because neither have
I, 'til now. ^_^)

Part Two:
Malik/Marik
***************
**~**~*~**~**~*~**~**~*~**~**~*~**~**~*~**~**~*~**~**~*~**~**~*~**~**
A cool wind blew gently against Malik's exposed skin, causing a shiver to run down his spine. He rubbed his goose bump covered arms with his hands, hoping to bring at least some warmth to them. Looking around himself, he realised he looked very, very out of place. He was wearing his Egyptian style clothing, in the middle of winter, was carrying around his Millennium Rod, and had darker skin than most of the people around him. As a few people walked past him, they cast him strange looks. He merely glared back, and folded his arms. The wind picked up, strangely, causing more shivers to pass over him.
He rubbed his eyes as he felt tears
stinging them. He couldn't help but think about his Yami, Marik.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was crying over you
I am smiling, I think of you
Where your gardens have no walls
Breathe in the air if you care, you compare, don't say farewell
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few more strange looks cast from different directions caused him to growl,
and he shoved the Millennium Rod into his black bag that had been sitting down
at his feet. His hair blew slightly with the cool wind. Malik sighed as he
waited at the edge of the curb for his Yami to come get him. He glanced over
his shoulder to see people laughing and pointing in his direction. If his face
hadn't been dark, anyone would've recognised a faint tinge of pink spreading
across his cheeks as he turned back to stare down at the road. He wasn't in the
mood to threaten anyone at that particular moment.
Malik heard the
familiar roar of a motorcycle's engine speeding towards him, but he didn't even
bother to lift up his head as it stopped directly in front of him. He caught a
helmet that was thrown at him, grabbed his black bag, and jumped onto the back
of the motorcycle. He grabbed his Yami's waist to keep from falling off of the
motorcycle as they sped away from the laughter.
Neither could speak during their ride
home, because the sound from the engine was loud enough to make anyone deaf if
they listened to it for too long.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nothing could compare
To if you rolled the dice and you
swore that your love's for me
Nothing could compare
To if you rolled the dice and you swore that your love's for me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Marik stopped his motorcycle in front
of their apartment, and kicked down the kickstand. They both climbed off of the
motorcycle, and ran into the apartment, escaping the cold that lay outside.
"Thanks for the
ride. I would've frozen to death out there if I had walked." Malik mumbled as
they closed the door to their apartment behind themselves. They both removed
their helmets, and set them down on the ground beside the door.
"No problem. I skipped a meeting with
the Tomb Robber and the Pharaoh. So right now, they're standing in an alleyway
waiting for me. Together." Marik laughed hysterically. "I won't be meeting
up with them."
"You're kidding! You left those two
alone? You do know that they'll try and kill each other, don't you?"
Malik asked with a smile and a chuckle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was crying over you
I am smiling I think of you
Misty mornings and water falls
Breathe in the air if you care, you compare, don't say farewell
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Yeah, I know. That's why I arranged
for the meeting to be today." He smirked, and dropped himself down onto the
couch.
"And now I can watch the t.v. with the
satisfaction of knowing I ruined both of their days." He grinned mischievously.
As Malik was about to sit down on the couch, the phone rang. With a sigh, Malik
walked over to the phone, and picked it up.
"Hello?" Malik could hear growling on
the other line, then a deep voice. "I'll get you back for that, Baka."
The he heard a click, and the dial tone, indicating that the person on the
other line had hung up. Malik laughed as he hung up the phone.
Curiously, Marik look up, his eyebrows
raised.
"That was a message for you," Malik said with a laugh. "I think
Bakura wants to murder you now."
He laughs. "He's got competition, the Pharaoh will be trying to, as well." He laughed quietly.
"I suppose I should be expecting to answer the phone again tonight? For another death threat?" Malik laughed, and joined Marik on the couch, still laughing.
Marik nodded, and flipped through the channels until he found a channel with evil comedy. He laughed hysterically throughout each show that they happened to watch. Malik laughed at how long his Yami could laugh for.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

the dice and you swore your love's for me

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Malik's stomach
growled at one point during one of the shows, earning him a raised eyebrow from
his Yami. "That hungry, are we?" Marik sighed, and jumped up off the couch.
"Alright… Let's see what we can get eat…"
They ended up finding a box of Kraft
Dinner, Marik's favourite food. It was also the fastest and easiest thing to
make for the both of them.
"Mmm…" Marik licked his lips before
stuffing his face with the orange coloured food. Malik simply shook his head,
and shoved a forkful of macaroni into his mouth. He swallowed it, and was about
to grab another bit of kraft dinner, but the phone rang. He ran over to the
phone, and picked it up.
"Moshi moshi," Malik spoke into the
receiver, and nearly laughed when he heard growling on the other end of the
phone. "Baka," Was all the person said before hanging up. Malik sighed
and hung up the phone once more.
"The Pharaoh?" Marik asked with a
smirk. Malik nodded, and sat down in front of his macaroni. He didn't feel like
eating any more, he was suddenly very full. "What'd he say?"
"Baka." Malik said simply, and laughed
as Marik fell to the floor, laughing hysterically again.
Malik shook his
head, and stood up. "I'm going to bed for a while." He stated as he stretched.
"I need a nap." He took the silence from his Yami as an 'okay,' and walked over
and into their room. They shared a room because it had been less expensive for
the both of them, and neither had minded in the slightest.

Virtuous sensibility
Escape velocity

Malik dropped himself onto their bed,
and breathed in the smell coming from his Yami's side of the bed. He breathed
in the air, and could only think of Marik. He couldn't explain the smell
emanating from the sheets. To him it was a sweet smell, one that he longed to
breathe in from the person of whom it had originated. He sighed into the
sheets, and turned onto his side. As he thought of Marik, the room had grown
warmer, to the point where he had to pull of his shirt. He let it drop to the
ground, and pulled the sheets up to his shoulders. (A/N: O.O *drools*) He fell
into a dreamless slumber, much to his disappointment.
Marik had walked to the doorway of
their room, and watched as Malik fell asleep, his breathing evened out with
every second that passed. Marik sighed, shook his head, and closed the door
quietly. He went back over to the couch, and resumed watching his favourite
television shows.
A few hours later,
Malik woke with a start. He glanced around the room wearily, and stretched
before sitting up in bed. The sheets seemed to cling to his exposed skin in an
odd manner. He pried the sheets off of his skin, and swung his legs over one
side of the bed. Yawning, he slid off of the bed, and walked over towards the
door. When he noticed it was closed, he wondered to himself if Marik had done
it. He reached out, grabbed the doorknob, turned it, and pulled the door open.
He walked out and into the kitchen. Malik found a glass, and filled it with
water from the tap.
Malik drank every last drop of water
from the cup before setting it down in the sink, and turning around to see
Marik staring at him from the couch.
"What?" Malik looked around before
noticing where his Yami had been staring. Malik folded his arms against his
chest, and blushed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Nothing." Marik
blinked a few times before looking up at Malik's face. "Sleep well?"
Malik nodded, and stood there,
uncomfortably. There was an uncomfortable silence after those last words.
"That's always
good." Marik finally tore away his eyes from his light, and stared at the
television.
"Yeah… Watch anything good on t.v.?"
Malik found himself walking over towards the couch, and he sat down beside
Marik.
"Nah, all of the good shows came on
earlier. There are some really odd shows on right now." Marik glared at the
television and smirked. He lifted up the remote, and tried to throw it at the
television screen. Luckily, Malik grabbed Marik's arm just in time, and
prevented one disaster, but starting another one. Marik had tried to throw it
anyway, throwing them both to the ground, Malik still clutching Marik's arm,
and Marik's arm still holding the remote control.
Marik sat up, and noticed Malik's hand
still holding his arm. He looked down at Malik, who was busy trying to sit up,
using Marik's arm as support. When Malik finally was able to sit up and
actually noticed where his hand was, he withdrew it immediately, feeling
slightly foolish.
"Gomen." Malik whispered as he sat on
the ground, his eyes glued to the floor.
"Iie, it was my fault." Marik stood
up, and helped Malik up to his feet. Marik frowned at Malik, who was still
staring at the ground. "Something wrong?"
"No, nothing's wrong." Malik muttered.
Marik shrugged, and went into the kitchen. Malik followed him, full of
curiosity. Marik opened the cupboard, and reached for the last cup, but Malik
got an idea. He snatched the cup, and ran away from the kitchen, laughing.
Marik growled, and would've normally let Malik get away with it. But he was downright
thirsty, and needed that cup.
Marik ran after Malik, chased him
around the couch a few times, and then back into the kitchen, nearly catching
him twice. Malik made a mad dash towards their room, and tripped over something
on the floor, causing him to fall backwards onto their bed. Marik threw himself
on top of Malik, and pinned his arms to the bed. He managed to pry the glass
from Malik's right hand, after much effort. He let go of Malik's arms, slid off
of the bed, and dusted himself off.
Malik was dazed when he sat up, and he
fell backwards again as he tried to slide off of his bed. Marik raised an
eyebrow at him as he left Malik alone. Malik sighed, and frowned sadly.
Feelings and emotions overwhelmed his thoughts. And he didn't resist as he felt
the darkness overcoming him. He felt too comfortable. His eyelids slowly
fluttered shut.
Marik drank a little bit of water
before putting his glass back onto the counter. When Malik didn't follow him
out, Marik became slightly curious, and walked back to their room. He stopped
in the doorway, and laughed. Malik was sleeping in an odd angle on their bed.
He walked forward, and pushed Malik so that he was sleeping in a straight line
on the bed, and he pulled the covers over his shivering body.
Malik stirred at the sudden movements, and his eyes snapped open. He stared into Marik's face, eyes full of curiosity.
"Why are you so
tired today?" Marik questioned him, staring deep into his light's eyes.
Malik shrugged under the covers, and
looked away from his Yami. Marik eyes him suspiciously, and shrugged.
"I'm not that tired." Malik sat
up in the bed, and let the sheets fall off of him. Marik rolled his eyes and
shrugged again before leaving Malik alone once again. "What? I'm not!" Malik
jumped out of bed, ran after Marik, and joined him on the couch in front of the
television.
Malik leaned back into the cushions of
the couch, and watched a show with Marik. Neither of them bothered to turn on
any lights as it got darker and darker in their small apartment. Soon the only
light came from the television. Malik stifled a yawn, and felt his eyes getting
heavier and heavier. He slumped over, and fell sideways, colliding with Marik.
Marik glanced down at his fallen light, and smiled before turning back to watch
the show that was on television.
Malik snuggled his head into Marik's shoulder. Marik didn't give the actions any more thought because he assumed that Malik had fallen asleep. He was very wrong. Malik was completely aware of everything around him and of his actions. Marik finally seemed to have gotten bored of the television, because he turned it off, eliminating the only light from their apartment.
"Malik…" Marik
shook his shoulders, trying to awaken the boy from his fake peaceful slumber.
Malik groaned as he opened his eyes, and shifted uncomfortable beside his Yami.
"Malik, come on, get up." Malik groaned again, and snuggled further into
Marik's warmth. Marik sighed, and pulled Malik up into his strong arms. He
stood up and carried him to their room, and lay him down on the bed. Marik
could see very well in the dark, something he had picked up in Ancient Egypt.
Marik turned on the lamp in their
room, and Malik shielded his eyes from it. He turned onto his side, and
squinted up at his Yami.
"By Ra, that's bright." Malik groaned.
"Not as bright as the sun." Marik
shook his head, slid into their bed, and under the covers. He was too tired to
change at that moment.
Malik pulled himself under the covers
as well, and curled up into a ball, as if he needed more warmth. He sighed, and
gazed up at Marik, who decided to turn off the light at that exact moment.
Malik felt the darkness once again tugging at his mind and body, and struggled
to keep his eyes open.
"I'm surprised that
neither Bakura nor Yami have acted on their instincts yet…" Malik said softly.
"I doubt they'll want to tonight.
Especially Bakura, he's been that way ever since he and Ryou got together. But
bet on their showing up here tomorrow." Marik laughed, and turned onto his
side, staring directly at Malik's face.
"Mmm." Malik yawned, and felt his
eyelids droop slightly.
"I told you that you were tired."
Marik smirked.
"Am not." Malik opened his eyes again,
and stared directly into Marik's eyes.
"Are too." Marik poked Malik's
shoulder. Normally Malik would've poked him back, but Malik merely lay there,
glaring at Marik.
"Whatever." Malik yawned again, and
snuggled into his pillow. It was quite comfortable. Especially at that moment.
"Malik… There's something I've been
meaning to tell you…" Marik held his breath as Malik looked at him full of
curiosity. "Well, I-I mean, Um…" Marik trailed off, and Malik raised an
eyebrow.
"What? Please tell me?" He
pleaded, and pushed himself closer to his Yami. Closer to his warmth… He wanted
to tell Marik something, too, but it would just have to wait. After all, Marik
had something to tell him first.
"MalikIloveyou." He said so quickly
that the only thing Malik could catch was his name.
"Huh?" Malik rolled his eyes when
Marik blushed. He had never seen his Yami so uncertain in his whole life of
knowing him. Marik took a deep breath, and tried again.
"Malik, I love you…" Marik was opened
his mouth to apologise for it when Malik pounced on him, full of excitement,
and pushed his mouth against Marik's. Marik was so surprised at his sudden
actions that he didn't know how to react at first.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nothing can compare
To when you roll the dice and you swear your love's for me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He smirked into their kiss, and
grabbed Malik's sides with his hands. Malik shivered as Marik came into contact
with his bare skin, but kept his mouth locked with Marik's.
\\ So that's the way it is, then, huh?
Rough? \\ Marik said into their link, surprising Malik long enough for him to
flip his light onto the bed so that he was the dominant one. They pulled apart
and gasped for air. Marik ripped his shirt off, and Malik drooled at the
beautiful sight.
Marik pinned Malik's arms to the bed,
and kissed him roughly. When he let go of his light, Malik's hands found their
way to his chest, and they stayed there, feeding off of the warmth.
Marik finally
pulled away again, and rolled back over onto his back. Malik snuggled up into
Marik's side, and Marik pulled him even closer. Malik's eyes closed.
\ Aishiteru. \ Malik whispered quietly
through their link.
// Aishiteru, koi. // Marik whispered
back, smiles forming on both of their faces as they fell asleep in each other's
warmth.

***************************************************************
Woo! Yay! Finally! ^_^ I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to finish this one
so soon, but here it is! ^^ (I changed the lyrics around just a tiny little
bit… I hope no one gets mad at that!!)
If you want to hear the song, then follow these instructions:
Go to h t t p : / / w w w . f i n l e y q u a y e . c o m / (just remove the
spaces if you're copying and pasting!!!)
In both the html & Flash version:
Go under Headlines (in the middle of the page)
And click on the 'Watch the 'Dice' video' link(it should bring you to a
different page)
When you get there, click on 'High Quality Connection' (it has the WHOLE song
of 'Dice,' and it's the video - the low and medium connections only let you
hear 30 seconds (they are all music videos))
It should open in the browser, or ask whether or not you want it to open in the
same window or not...
The first time I clicked on it, it couldn't find a way to open it, so when it
asked about extensions, I clicked 'select a program from the list,' and
selected 'Windows Media Player.' It should open Windows Media Player after
that, and load the song. Sorry if you don't have windows media player, but this
was the only site that actually played the song or where all of the links
worked properly that I could find.
If anyone else knows a good site that has the song, please tell me! I'd
appreciate it!
^_^
