I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh

Malik loved Bakura. Loved. He no longer felt the same way about him since his Yami had come out that time. He wasn't sure how to break it to him though. Hell he didn't even know if could. He sighed and looked at the sand beneath his feet as he rested on the swing set. His arms were upward holding onto the plastic covered chains. A beautiful young brown haired girl walked over to swings and sat on one next to Malik.

"What's wrong?" the girl asked him.

"Huh?" went Malik realizing he was being spoken too.

"I asked what's wrong," She said, she seemed concerned about him.

Malik horribly lied, "I'm fine, really."

She got up and walked over to him. She knelt down and placed her hand on his knee. "I know something's wrong," she said, "If you tell you'll feel better, for some odd reason I have that effect on people."

Malik looked into the sky trying to ignore her. He thought she was pretty cute but he was too shy to say anything. As for telling her why he was so gloomy, that he wanted to keep private. Unfortunately for him she remained as if she knew he'd tell sooner or later. Malik spilled about him and Bakura about how'd then been the past while and how he felt know. She didn't say anything the whole time, she just listened and nodded. It finally came to an end as Ra was setting when he told her about how he couldn't bare to tell Bakura the truth. He sighed, "I guess you were right but please don't tell him."

"Okay," she said gently. She looked at her watch, "It's quite late, I better leave now," She said.

Malik was regretful he didn't mention the way he felt about her. He feared he'd never see her again and took a chance. "Hey! Wait!" He called out to her. She walked back over to him. "I... um.. Forgot to ask you your name, what is it?"

She smiled and replied, "Anzu, and yours."

"I'm Malik, anyways I..." fear had gotten the better of him he couldn't do it. His response came out, "Could you come with me to tell him, I feel if you were there I'd have more confidence."

"Of course what are friends for," She responded with a smile, hoping to give him a little more confidence right now too.

Malik had done it. Bakura was extremely disappointed but he understood. They'd still live together though, and of course they were still friends. He thanked Anzu for coming with him. He walked her to the door as she left. She turned around and smiled, "I can see why you loved him. He seemed pretty nice, and was totally hot." She said bye to Malik and left. Malik tried to delude himself in hopes that she liked him too but they weren't strong enough to escape reality.
