Chapter 3

"So, can we come in, Bakura isn't exactly light you know." Complained an irritated Marik.

Malik nodded and stepped aside to allow Marik through. Once Marik stepped into the apartment, he dropped Bakura unceremoniously on the floor, and headed into the kitchen where Malik and Ryou were talking before. Malik sighed, closed the door, and stepped over Bakura, following Marik back into the kitchen.

"Oh, Marik!" Gasped a startled Ryou, "What are you doing over here?"

"I could ask the same thing." Marik retorted, while helping himself to any alcohol he could find in Malik's refrigerator.

"He came over to talk Marik, that's all," Malik answered from the doorway, "Why did you have to dump him on the floor? Couldn't you have at least set him on the couch so I wouldn't have to pick him up and move him?"

Marik ignored him and sighed in frustration, not finding any alcoholic beverage to drink. He didn't get to drink a lot at the bar because of Bakura.

Ryou blinked at them curiously, wondering what they were talking about. He was about to ask when he heard another knock at the door.

"That must be the pizza guys now," Malik muttered to himself as he went to go answer the door.

Ryou followed him, Marik behind him, curious as to who was laying on the floor. He gasped when he saw Bakura sprawled out and drooling on Malik's carpet. Malik however, just calmly stepped over Bakura again, and answered the door. He paid the pizza guy who looked a little freaked out at the body on the floor, shut the door and walked back into the kitchen with the pizza, leaving Ryou and Marik in the hall.

"Um, Marik?" Ryou asked uncertainly, "Why is Bakura asleep on the floor?"

"He's not asleep, he passed out at the bar," Explained Marik, "and I dumped him there because I didn't feel like carrying him to the couch."

"Oh." Was all Ryou said before he tagged along after Malik, Marik soon following afterwards.

Once back in the kitchen, Malik and Ryou wolfed down the delicious pizza in a few minutes. They were both starving, and the pizza hit the spot for them. Marik just stood by and silently watched the two young hikaris as they finished eating.

"So Marik," Malik asked as he finished the last slice, licking the grease off his fingers "what are you still doing here?"

"I'll leave if you want me too," Marik responded gruffly.

"No, you don't have to go," Malik said quickly, "I was just curious, that's all, I mean, we haven't seen each other in a while."

Marik nodded his head in understanding, then he headed back out into the hallway, saying something about moving Bakura onto the couch. Malik and Ryou cleaned up the mess they made from their dinner, and walked into the living room, finding Marik sitting on one of the chairs watching T.V. and Bakura lying down on the couch.

"I think I'll stare here for the night," Marik stated, never taking his eyes off the T.V., "if you don't mind that is."

"I don't care," Malik said, sitting down on the floor and leaning up against the couch, "Ryou is staying too, what's one more person?"

They watched T.V. for a few hours, before Ryou yawned and rubbed his eyes tiredly. Malik decided that it was time for them to get some sleep, and brought out some blankets and pillows.

"Why don't I just kick Bakura off the couch so I can sleep on it?" Marik whined, not wanting to sleep on the floor like Malik told him too, "It's not like he's going to care."

"No Marik," Malik rolled his eyes, "Just sleep on the floor, it's not such a big deal!"

"But why can't Ryou sleep on the floor too? He gets the chair I was sitting on before!"

"Marik," Malik growled threateningly.

"Um, excuse me," Ryou interrupted quietly, "If it's such a big problem, why don't we just all sleep on the floor, Bakura included, so it would be fair?"

"Alright." Huffed Marik, who was still upset that he had to sleep on the floor.

"Fine." Malik agreed, while placing down another blanket and pillow set.

"Um Malik?" Ryou asked timidly, "I hate to be such a bother, but do you have any pajamas I could borrow? I didn't bring any."

Malik blushed at Ryou, "Um, sorry, but I usually don't sleep in pajamas, so I don't have any."

Marik snickered slightly at he blush on Malik's face, knowing the reason why he doesn't have any pajamas to sleep in.

Ryou though, still being slightly innocent, didn't have a clue.

"What do you sleep in then?" he asked, tilting his head to the side curiously.

"Uh," Malik blushed harder while Marik tried to contain himself from bursting out laughing.

"He doesn't have anything, because Bakura doesn't usually let him wear anything to bed!" Marik cackled.

"Oh." Ryou turned as red as a tomato once he figured out what Marik was talking about.

"Oh shut up," Malik glared at Marik, still slightly embarrassed that his best friend had to hear that, "So, anyways, sorry Ryou, I don't have any you could wear."

"Just sleep in your boxers," Marik suggested, "Malik and I are going to."

"B-but," he stammered out, self-conscious. Ryou couldn't help but redden at the thought of both Malik and Marik in nothing but their boxers, sleeping on the floor with him!

"Oh don't worry about anything, it's not like we're going to molest you in your sleep or anything," Marik winked and grinned at Ryou who blushed even harder.

"Stop teasing him Marik," Malik scolded, even though he himself found it amusing about how uncomfortable Ryou was about sleeping in his boxers. Malik then remembered that Bakura was still passed out on the couch. He got up and pushed Bakura off, who landed with a 'thud' as he fell exactly where he was supposed to sleep. Malik then quickly stripped off his shirt and pants, settling down in his own spot to sleep. Marik copied Malik and stripped down to his boxers, pulling the blanket on top of himself and heading to sleep next to Malik.

Ryou, sat there, avoiding looking at Malik and Marik while they stripped, still embarrassed. He'd always slept in pajamas before, never in his boxers, so he was really uncomfortable. He sighed and peeled off his cream colored shirt, and tossed it to the side, his blue jeans following. He then settled down in between Bakura and Malik, and fell asleep soon after.
