Gandalf: Still don't own, but read on anyways!


"No, but one time Marik and I got dared to dress up in drag and go whore ourselves off! We where sent to jail and my dad had to bail us out. He was about ready to kill me, let me tell ya!" I tell Ryou and Mokuba, who snicker.

"Why would you do that?" Ryou asks placing his hands over mine, speeding up my adrenaline.

"Thanks so much for cheering me up Bakura that was so sweet of you." Ryou says shyly, eyes shining with happiness.

"N, no problem…" I manage to sputter out. This time my blush refuses to be hidden.

"I'm just sorry Marik was such an ass to you. You deserve so much better Ryou." I state seriously, staring into his eyes. He shrugs.

"I don't know, love is just so complicated. Don't you think, Bakura?" I nod. That love is. I glance to Mokuba, who has a hand rested on his hot chocolate mug, and head down on the table sleeping. I smile slightly at his childish cuteness. Wonder when Seto is supposed to come get the cute little brat anyways.

"One minute you're so in love with one person, then someone else manages to come along and steal your heart away." He says dreamily. I wouldn't know, usually I am the one being dumped, not two timing.

"Are you in that position or something with Marik?" I ask, furrowing an eyebrow.

"I uh…" He trails off, caught off guard. Oh gods, who stole my Ryou's heart away this time, if not some ugly blonde bimbo.

"I guess I am." He replies in the same euphoric tone.

"With who?" I exclaim, unable to hold my exasperation. He grasped my hands tighter in his and blushed. Huh… Is it me? Please, oh please, oh please, oh please…

"I, I like…-"

"Ryou wait!" A wearisome voice screeches. Marik bursts through the door with Malik trailing behind. DAMN IT!

"Huh?" Ryou turns around to find Marik who jumps in front of him, kneeling. He encircled his arms around Ryou's waist, a few tears shredding from his lilac eyes. Oh goodie, here comes Marik's whole 'crying, take me back-act.' Pfft. I have seen this a thousand times.

"Ryou I'm so, so sorry! Please take me back, oh please!" He exclaims. Once again, Ryou's tears fall. It's like a bad romance movie, only with uglier people, well, Marik anyways.

"I…I" He starts, glancing at me with worried eyes, and then turns to Marik again.

"Well I and my boyfriend should probably be going now!" Malik chirps randomly. What boyfriend? There's only Marik and… oh shit. All three of us turn to him giving him strange glares.

"Come on Bakura sweetie." He coos. I find myself speechless. I'm not dating him!

He struts over to me and gives me a kiss on the cheek. He starts to whisper.

"Just follow my lead ok?" I nod, and take his hand. This better be a good idea, whatever it is.

"Yeah… what Malik says?" I mumble as I shuffle to my feet.

"You, you're dating him?" Ryou says softly, glancing to me. I nod nervously.

"Oh." He says, remorseful.

"So will you Ryou?" Marik pleads. I roll my eyes. Malik drags me out of the coffee shop.

"What the hell was that for?" I snarl.

"Bakura, Bakura, Bakura…tsk, tsk, tsk. It's much too soon to make your move on Ryou! You have to at least get him when he isn't so vulnerable! Besides, Marik has been crying over him for the last three hours!" Malik informs me.

"But he was about to tell me he liked me! I think anyways." I shriek, stamping my feet like a child.

"You don't get it! You want Ryou to like you right?" I nod.

"And Marik to still find you standable?" I nod again.

"Then stealing his boyfriend three hours after a petty break up is not the way to go about it. Trust me, I've thought up a plan! We pretend like we're dating, making Ryou jealous, and hopefully Marik too! Then when the right opportunity comes, Ryou will be so frustrated and profess his love for you, as will Marik! I know Marik likes me a little, just give me two months and I can up that level about one hundred percent, and Ryou will be dying to just jump in your arms!" He exclaims, grinning crazily.

"What if they really are in love Malik, what if they get married or something? What if Ryou doesn't like me anymore come two months?" I question skeptically.

"They so aren't in love trust me. Look at Yugi and Yami, now that's true love! Ryou and Marik are just pretenders. In plus, if it's true love, Ryou will be dying to be with you in two months, and if he's not, it probably wasn't meant to be anyways!" He persuades.

"Ok, I guess your right. I swear if one little thing goes wrong though, you are a dead man, Malik." I seethe, pouting. He is right about one thing though, if I did date Ryou though, I'd be a walking time bomb. Marik would pulverize me for stealing his supposed 'soul-mate'.

"Agree?" Hew asks, hopeful. I shake his hand. It's a deal. We here the jingle of bells from a door opening and out walks Marik and Ryou hand in hand, with Mokuba trailing behind.

"Ok, well, since I drove Marik and me here, I'll give you a lift back since those two are walking. Don't worry Bakura, everything will be ok." He comforts, putting an arm around me.

"Come on Bakura, what could possibly go wrong?" I gulp as I think of about a dozen ideas.
