This is YAOI! boy x boy love! XD
summary: Marik and Seto are both billionaires. (^_^) In order to secure a business deal with a powerful man in Japan by the name of Quatre Yuy (gomen...its all I could come up with!!!) the two have to pose like their together for the length of the time that Wufei's in Japan. Will it turn into something more? ^_~
Later: MalikxMarikxSeto
Uh....yeah..bad summary. LOL! Lets see. AU! Kinda...in a little bit...yeah...
SOMEDAY THE DREAM WILL END
Seto stifled a yawn, cerulean eyes watering slightly as he wiped them to relieve the burning sensation; hours upon hours of working late and then having restless sleep were taking their toll upon the billionaire. He idly gazed at the Directors for the Egyptian Company of Duel Monsters. How long was he going to have to wait on the owner? Seto did not like to be held up from his busy schedule; attending meetings, charities, and dinner engagements. Seto ran a hand through his nutbrown hair, impatient and angry with his client. He remained frigid and stoic to the outside observers.
The door swung open, revealing a young man of eighteen; the same age as Seto. Seto's eyes grew round at the appearance of the teenager. The boy's piercing violet orbs scanned over the much older men to finally rest on Seto; golden blonde hair framing the bronzed skin of his face. The slender and tall president of Ishtar Corporation smirked at the Japanese man. "Long time, Kaiba." He crossed his arms in front of his chest, leering at Seto, that half-smile playing on his lips that infuriated Seto to no end; it reminded him of Yami Yugi. "You may leave us," Marik nodded at the six directors. After the men scurried from the meeting room, Marik sank onto the oaken tabletop, lean legs sprawled carefreely. "Aren't you going to speak?" Marik asked languidly, eyes raising sluggishly to meet Seto's.
Seto was surprised by the vividness of the hikari's eyes; orchid blossoms. He blinked, regreesing once again to his former self. "What do you want Isthar? You dissappear for two years and then you suddenly ask to meet me ~and~ is the owner of the Egyptian division of Duel Monsters."
"So distrusting Kaiba." Marik clicked his tongue. "Though, it is understandable. As for what I have been doing-" Marik fumbled through a stack of papers, producing at folder- "Is this."
Seto raised a delicate brow. "And what exactly is this Ishtar?" Seto opened the document, searching the information. His eyes flashed with shock. "How?! How did ~you~ get this?!" Seto demanded.
Marik chuckled, enjoying the myriad emotions displayed upon Seto's visage. He turned to the last page of the clause, pointing at the lines for two seperate signatures. "However, I'm in a bind." Seto opened his mouth to speak when Marik placed a finger against Seto's lips, much to Seto's chagrin. Marik lept from the table, pacing the length of the room. "Pegasus's board chose me to head Illustrious Industries. They came to me a few weeks after Battle City; once their affairs were in order. My yami," Marik paused, gathering his emotions, "Deterred their initial time to consult me."
Seto remembered. Yami Malik was a brash and pyschotic spirit; holding more pride and determination than even Seto himself. Malik was more than ready to murder to acheive his goal in collecting the Sennen Items. Seto also remembered that Malik and Marik.....were together intimately. Yugi-tachi (an: yugi and company) did not have an inkling of an idea of the true nature of the hikari and yami's relationship, yet Seto had been able to spot it. Seto couldn't even begin to imagine what it would be like to have ones' lover taken from them; their other half literally torn from their soul's.
Marik continued, not liking Seto's silence. Silence led to contemplation. "Quatre Yuy, the head of the directors after Pegasus's flight to the unknown, approached me and asked for my cooperation but my Yami had other things in mind. Thus, came Battle City and you know the details of that. After Battle City, Yuy once again sought me out. I agreed to his terms and for two years I have been sorting through what Pegasus left behind. It was a week ago when Yuy gave me this contract to take over Illustrious Industries."
Seto fingered the edge of the paper. "Exactly what do you have to do now? You said you were in a bind?"
"Quatre Yuy is a strict moral philosopher who, from my dealings with him, is nothing like his former boss. His ideal view of how the new owner of Pegasus's company should be is...with a family and or a significant other."
Seto wasn't liking where this was going. "What does that have to do with me?"
"Unfortunately for Yuy, he will not get his complete ideal owner. As you know, I am gay." Seto nodded. Of course he knew; Yami Bakura and Marik were more than open with their relationship. It was Marik and Malik that were....secretive. "However, on such a short notice, I cannot possible hope to obtain someone to be my boyfriend. With my yami being gone...its harder. Yuy has taken quite the shine to you, Kaiba. He was mentioning your name to me one day and I kind of made a mistake." Marik swallowed. "I told him we were together."
"WHAT?!!!!! Together?!! NANI?!" Seto yelled, jumping from his seat, hands gripping the edge of the table so hard that his knuckles turned pale white.
"Calm down Kaiba and yes together 'in that way.' I am sorry for dragging you into this. It was not by my free will to have you here. Your are the last person I would have ever wanted to pretend to be my boyfriend."
Seto wasn't expecting the rush of dissapointed and painful emotions to pervade his heart. He didn't care..what Marik thought..did he? Seto shook his head, pinching the bridge of his nose. Not getting enough sleep was definetely affecting his brain. "Okay, so....let me get this straight. You and I are....boyfriends?"
"Exactly."
"Why are you just now telling me?"
"Um.... Yuy is coming to spend the holiday's with me. The only way that he'll give me the company is if my significant other signs with me; you, well... in his mind, its you."
Seto digested the information. He was Marik's lover? What the hell was the world coming to? They....hated each other well...Malik hated Seto but Seto wasn't sure where he stood with Marik. The arrangement would tell that. Seto nodded. "I'll do it."
"You will?" Marik asked, blankly staring at Seto.
"I do get half of the company."
"Of course. Once Yuy signs it over to us, we can break the contract and go our seperate ways."
"How long is he going to be here?"
"For two weeks. December 20th to the 1st of January."
"...Then I'm home free but I still keep half the company, right?"
"Yes."
"You have yourself a deal Ishtar," Seto held out his hand.
Marik smiled though it was forced and stiff. "Good. Have your stuff for two weeks moved out and into my mansion. Yes, its in Japan Seto," Marik answered Seto's frown. "My driver will be by to pick you up at exactly 9:00 a.m. Be ready. When you arrive here, we are to meet Yuy for brunch. That leaves us two hours to get you settled in. Yuy will be coming from the restrauant with us, back to here."
"Sure Isthar. Is that all?"
"Yes Kaiba."
"You had better get used to calling me Seto-kun."
Marik then did the unthinkable, he grinned an honest smile. Seto thought it made him look much more handsome and then...Seto frowned at himself for thinking such things about Marik. "Alright, Seto-kun and I'm Marik-kun, ne?"
"Right."
"Seto..thank you."
"Your welcome. I must be leaving. I should explain things to Mokuba."
"Hn."
"Tomorrow then."
"Tomorrow..." Marik watched Seto leave the room, sighing when he was gone. He hated to do this, hated to pretend to have a lover. Seto..... He wasn't a horrible person in fact, Marik saw much of his late yami in the taller teenager. Both were so full of pride. Marik smiled sadly, sitting on one of the seats. He missed his yami....

SONG:
Blue Eyes Blue
* * *
I feel like I've been walking for a long time
in an icy desert.
Will the love that created me
forgive the power I have now?
I don't know how to love.
I've never been loved.
Blue eyes...blue
Blue eyes...blue
Blue eyes...blue
Blue eyes...blue
Countless sorrows
soon become deep darkness.
Blue eyes...blue
The memories of when I felt someone's warmth
are too distant...
Blue eyes...blue
I fell half asleep
while leaning against a cold wall.
"For me, fighting
is the proof of living" I mutter, alone.
I can't feel "loneliness"
because I've never been close to anyone...
Blue eyes...blue
Blue eyes...blue
The wounds piling up in the bottom of my heart
become blue thorns.
Blue eyes...blue.
What could have changed...
if I was able to protect only one?
Blue eyes...blue.
Bakura: *glares at Akemi* Not me, baka! The show!
