~ Failing light, Brightening Darkness ~ ~ Chapter 2- It tells you where you are weak ~

Malik curled up in a fetal position and whimpered. This was the third time Marik had come home drunk

and beaten him up. This time, the pain was too much and he passed out. 'Ra help me', was his last thought

as he spiraled down into darkness. Marik plopped down on his feet, as the haze of the alcohol cleared and

he realized what he had done. "Oh, hikari. I'm so sorry. I never meant for this to happen. Please be okay."

A gash on Malik's face bled profusely and his arm was at an odd angle. Marik frowned and found a splint

for Malik's arm. Then he splinted it and began to work on his lights arm. After he had finished, Marik

picked up Malik and carried him to his room. Then Marik slowly undressed him and put the poor boys

pajamas on him. Then he tucked Malik in bed and left the room. After Marik had gone to bed, Malik awoke

and began sobbing hysterically. "Why do I deserve this drunk abusive Yami of mine? What did I do?"

Marik had awoken when he started talking and softly said, "You made me fall in love with you, that's

what." Then he got up to comfort his little light. When walked into Malik's room, Malik threw the alarm

clock at him. "Have you come back to kill me?" he taunted. Marik avoided the other objects aimed at his

head and put his arm around the sobbing mortal. "Malik," Marik began, "Can I tell you why I did that?"

"Sure. I'd love to hear it!" "I love you", Marik whispered. "What?" "I love you!" "That's what I thought I

heard." "Ai-"Malik started, "It tells you where you are weak, Marik..."
