Disclaimer: Well, okay, do you actually believe I own Yu-gi-oh? Do you??? If you do... I pity you...

Me: Sorry I haven't posted a new chapter in so long!!! _ Well, that is, for anybody out there who still cares... I just haven't had a lot of time... (which means I didn't feel like it.)

Marik: Finally you post a new chapter... Took long enough.

Ryou: *Holding Marik's hand* We've been waiting so long for our date... *Blushes*

Me: Fine, jeez, I'm writing it, aren't I?

Marik: Yeah, I guess...

Me: Now let me get to the story already!

Marik & Ryou: Okay, okay!

Me: So here it is...

Ryou and Marik's First Date

It was Saturday evening, 6 o' clock. It was still light out, as it wasn't even yet fall. Marik was in his room getting ready.
'What should I wear?' he thought. 'This is supposed to be really special, a first date... Maybe I should just go casual... I've never been on a date before, I don't even know what I'm doing...' He finally decided to just go with his usual clothes, because he thought fancy would be a little much for a first date. 'Well, I guess I should go pick Ryou up... It's about 6:30 now...'

Meanwhile, Ryou was also getting ready, but he was more concerned with thoughts of Marik than what he would wear. 'I'm so excited... My very first date... I wonder if we'll... kiss...,' he thought. He also decided to go casual, then he waited for Marik outside, on the porch.

Shortly afterward, Marik came by.
"Hi Ryou...," he said, blushing just a little bit. "I'm here to pick you up..."
Ryou walked over to Marik, and took his hand. "Let's go then...," he said, blushing a lot.
They walked down the sidewalk, talking along the way.
"So what was your childhood like?" Ryou asked.
"I was raised underground, by my mother and father... They used to protect the Pharaoh's tomb, but now they're.....," Marik said, looking down sadly.
"I'm... I'm so sorry Marik..."
"It's alright...," Marik said, sniffling. "Sometimes I miss them so much... I also have a sister, Ishizu, she's okay I guess... But sometimes she's so annoying that I just want to send her to the shadow realm!" he said, kicking a rock really hard. "Then there's Odion, he's my adoptive brother, he looks out for me..."
By this time, they had arrived at the park, and strolled through along the trees. They sat down on a bench and watched the birds for a little while, while the sun slowly sank behind the trees. Neither realized how long they just sat there watching the sun, but they both knew it felt right.
"The sunset is beautiful...," Ryou said, looking towards Marik. "Wouldn't you agree?" he said, his heart beating a little faster than normal.
"To tell you the truth, I was just thinking the same exact thought," Marik said, staring deep into Ryou's eyes.
It was without a word and without a thought, an instantaneous action. Marik leaned in towards Ryou with his lips pursed, and slowly pushed them against Ryou's, finding no resistance at all, rather a similar pushing, back towards his own lips. It went on for a few seconds, but to the two it seemed an eternity. Slowly they separated their lips, staring directly into each other's eyes, before they both looked away, blushing a little.
Ryou looked at the almost completely set sun, and then his watch. "It's really late! Wow, I hadn't realized. I-I have to go Marik...," he said, blushing just the slightest bit more. He got up and started walking quickly away.
"Wait, Ryou! Um... Did you have a good time? I... I really did..."
"Marik... I had a great time," he said, turning back for just a moment, blowing a kiss Marik's way, with a wink. He then walked off towards his house, leaving Marik to his thoughts and fantasies.
'Wow, he's something else...,' Marik thought. 'I guess I really have to be going too. I can't wait to see him again Monday... I hope he really meant what he said, and I know I had a great time. Maybe next time it could be a movie, or dinner... If there is a next time...' Marik was a little concerned whether Ryou really liked it or not, but he decided it would just have to wait until Monday. He slowly stood up and walked off into the sunset, thinking always of how he would remember his first date forever, and how he couldn't wait to see Ryou again Monday.

Me: Alright, that's all for this chapter.

Ryou: Yay, we finally had our first date! ^_^

Marik: We sure did... *Kisses Ryou on the cheek*

Joey & Yugi: *Walk in the room*

Yugi: Ryou, what are you doing here with Marik?

Joey: Yeah, enlighten us man.

Me: Hmm.... This could get weird...

Yugi: O_O Wait, is this the "lucky lady"?!?!

Joey: Dude!!! Why didn't you tell us???

Me: Well, I don't think all of you need to see this... But if you DO, then read the next chapter! (Whenever I get around to writing it, which will only happen if I get at least a couple reviews.) So, anyway, that's all for this time! Review!!! Please? :(
