With Bakura:
Bakura walked up the sidewalk and realized Marik wasn't there waiting, but this was Marik so most likely he had gotten sidetracked. Unlocking the door and entering he noticed first the noise. TV was on, he didn't leave it on and there came a crash from the kitchen. Someone better not be stupid enough to try and rob the Thief King's house, that would be suicide. So thinking he carefully set the box containing the kitten on the side table and unsheathed one of his many knives as he walked towards the kitchen door. Hearing curses on the other side he quietly opened the door and stepped through, only to drop to his knees laughing.
There stood Marik in all his non-domestic glory. Wearing Ryou's frilly pink apron (a gag gift from Yugi and Yami) holding a pan in one hand and covered head to foot in flour. It took a few minutes before Bakura could contain his laughter, all the while dodging various kitchen items being thrown at him.
"Dammit Kura! Here I was trying to be nice and your laughing at me!" Marik then dropped to the floor amidst the rather large mess and pouted.
"Well what do you expect! You look ridiculous!" Bakura finally had caught his breath but Marik grabbed a handful of flour laying on the floor and tossed it at Bakura successfully initiating a "flour war". Fifteen minutes and two white yamis later they finally stopped to catch their breath.
"Okay Marik, two questions. The first being how the hell did you get inside and the second being what were you doing in here? I mean I doubt practicing to be a ghost for Halloween was your first intention." Marik half heartedly tossed another handful of flour at Bakura.
"Well Kura you took too long to get here so I used the tree outside Ryou's room to climb in through his window oh! I owe you a new screen, it kind of ripped. Anyways since Ryou hardly ever locks his window I figured it was a good way in, and I was right!" He said the last part with a huge grin while Bakura made mental notes to talk to Ryou about that habit.
"And the second? Pink just really isn't your color."
"Well since I was here and hungry I thought I would make us some grilled cheese sandwiches!" Another proud smirk while Bakura looked confusedly about the kitchen.
"Were you planning to bake the bread or something?" Marik huffed at him.
"No! See I had the pan out because I had to dig for the skillet" he pointed to the stove, sure enough there was the skillet. "So I was going to put this back but I was also looking for the bread and when I went to move stuff in the pantry the flour kind of fell on me."
"Kind of?!" Bakura laughed more. "No kind of Ishtar! It looks like you took a shower in it!"
"Well you don't look much better Kura!" That was the point both looked around the kitchen, which looked more like a war zone than anything else, flour covered everything and there was even a spatula stuck halfway into the wall from where it missed Bakura.
"If Ryou sees this he is going to kill us, and he gets off school in an hour and a half. Shit! And I have to feed the fur ball!"
"Okay Kura-chan! Mari-poo will clean the kitchen all better and you feed your and Ryou's wittle bundle of joy." He got a wistful look to his eye. "Oh how sweet it must be! To raise something so small with your love, the nights holding it together, cuddling, watching it take its first steps."
"Having to help it take a crap, cleaning the mess, listening to the mewing at night, and your 'love' paying more attention to it than you. Yeah, its bloody wonderful." Marik looked thoughtful.
"I hadn't looked at it that way. But Ryou is so motherly anyways I know it will just work out for your little family!" Bakura's jaw clinched as he ground his teeth.
"I don't have a 'family' I have a fur ball that I know the Gods are using to punish me for all my past actions and a Hikari that is completely oblivious to my feeling because I have two friends who just have the perfect timing to interrupt us every time I even get close!" Marik's eyes started to water.
"Oh Kura! I had no idea it was so miserable for you! I know!" His face brightened and Bakura's stomach dropped. "I will help you woo Ryou! Yeah! By the end of tonight he will be warming your bed."
"No Marik, really. I can do it and I don't need your kind of help."
"Oh this will be so much fun!" Bakura groaned and he rose to his feet.
"Whatever, just clean this mess up now or I won't be alive for any of your plotting." Bakura called on the power of his millennium ring and banished all of the flour on himself to the shadow realm before leaving the kitchen. He then stuck his head back in. "Oh, the bread in in the middle cabinet." Marik looked around once, sighed and pulled out his millennium rod.
Bakura walked over to the box and looked down at the mewling kitten. Marik then ran out of the kitchen.
"The milk! I warmed a bottle when I was waiting for you!" He looked so proud at having accomplished this. Bakura grunted taking the bottle and looking back at the kitten. A shudder passed through his body.
"Kura, its only a little kitten! It can't hurt you!! I'm going to go make sandwiches." Marik was gone and Bakura picked up the kitten holding it to his face.
"Okay, I don't want to do this, I don't like you and I'm sure as soon as you can you won't like me. But Ryou loves you so lets just get through this." Like a man resigned Bakura sat on the couch and cradled the kitten while feeding it.
And with Ryou:
He couldn't believe it, a case of food poisoning that took out half the faculty so the last two classes of the day were canceled for the whole school.
"Hey Ryou, why don't we grab something to eat on the way home?" Ryou looked thoughtful for a minute.
"Well maybe if we grab some burgers to go? I was kind of looking forward to the idea of getting home early." Malik smirked.
"Okay so which is it, your that worried about the kitten or you want to surprise Kura and see if you can actually trust him?" Ryou looked at the ground.
"Well he really didn't want to take care of her."
"Fine fine, we get burgers to go. But you do realize this means we have to get enough for our yamis as well?" Ryou nodded.
"I know, but since they take credit cards there it won't be a problem."
"Okay then, that works for me!"
So decided the two hikaris made a rather large order to go at the local burger place.
"How are Bakura and Marik doing? They aren't with you today, not in jail are they?" Malik laughed and Ryou blushed.
"Naw, you should know those two, cops would never catch them!"
"If you say so Malik, I put an extra order of fries in the bag for Bakura. See you cuties later!"
"Thanks!" Both boys smiled and waved as they walked out. But as soon as the door closed Malik's smile fell as he grumbled.
"That girl is impossible!"
"What do you mean? She is always so nice."
"Yeah, so nice because she is hoping to hook up with one of us! Its like she doesn't get it, we are gay. Its not going to happen!" Ryou blushed.
"Well I know you and Marik are, I mean you make no attempt to hide your relationship from anyone." Malik smirked.
"What can I say, when your both this hot why hide it?! But what do you mean that we are?" Malik arched an eyebrow. "Are you telling me your straight?!" Ryou blushed deeper.
"Well, I just, I don't know."
"Ryou, how can you not know?!" Malik tried not to show his shock. 'damn, poor Bakura and he is hard up for Ryou too!'
"Well I just don't, okay."
"Wait, we can figure this out pretty easy. I mean its simple, who are you attracted to? Are you turned on by guys or girls?"
"I haven't been attracted to anyone, not like that anyway." Malik blinked in surprise.
"Okay…ummm..wet dream! Who have you had a wet dream about?" Ryou turned beet red, literally.
"Malik!"
"I'm serious Ryou."
"I.. I haven't." Malik's jaw dropped.
"Ryou, you do have a pulse, right?! How can you never have felt any of this?!"
"Well I just had other stuff going on. I never had time and then when I finally had time I never knew what Bakura would do so I didn't want anyone getting hurt." Malik nodded.
"Okay, I can understand that. But I mean now, when you watch TV or looking at people on the street, what catches your eye?" Ryou looked around for a minute then shook his head.
"No one." Malik thought for a minute.
"Okay Ryou, do you think I'm attractive?" Ryou blushed more.
"Ummm, Malik I don't see where.."
"Just answer."
"Fine, fine. Yes I suppose you are attractive to look at."
"That is a start. Okay now Anzu, do you think she is pretty?"
"Anzu? But she is my friend."
"Answer the question." Ryou sighed.
"Given a stranger's perspective then yes I suppose so."
"Good. Now if Anzu and I were both naked laying on different beds in the same room and you could only have one which would you pick?" Ryou just about tripped and fell on that one.
"W-What?!"
"You heard me." Ryou grew silent and thought about it for a few minutes.
"We are almost to your house Ryou, so think quick." Ryou turned a few shades more red and Malik briefly wondered if blushing could hurt.
"Do I seriously have to answer that?" Malik nodded and Ryou took a deep breath. "Then I think I would choose you." The last part spoken barely above a whisper and more to the ground than to Malik, but he still caught it.
"Okay then! That answers it!" Ryou looked up shocked.
"It does?"
"Well yeah! Your gay!" Ryou thought for a minute.
"But that was just given a choice between yourself and Anzu. I'm really not sure who I would choose in a different situation." This time it was Malik's turn to almost fall.
"Ryou, you are making this way too difficult!"
"Sorry. I'm just not certain about this."
"Alright. New plan. You kiss someone. Since I'm thinking your gay then kiss a guy and see how it makes you feel. That should work." Ryou looked doubtful.
"Kiss who?" Malik thought for a moment.
"Well Marik is pretty territorial. So how about Bakura?" Ryou's jaw dropped.
"I can't kiss Bakura!"
"Why not?"
"Well for one he isn't gay." Malik arched an eyebrow at him.
"Really? That's news to me."
"B-Bakura is gay too?!"
"You honestly didn't know?" Ryou shook his head no.
"But even if he is, he wouldn't want to kiss me." Malik smirked.
"I wouldn't put money on that." Ryou looked truly confused.
"I know Bakura can be odd sometimes but he just enjoys playing with peoples minds."
"Alright then, we're home. How about this. We go in, you hit on Bakura. I mean seriously. Cuddle up to him, feed him." Malik pointed at the bag to emphasize his point. "And we put on a scary movie tonight."
"But Malik you know I hate scary movies, they give me nightmares."
"Yeah but its also a good way to end up cuddled up being held by someone." Malik winked causing Ryou's blush to once again return. "And if I'm right then Bakura will make sure you don't have any bad dreams tonight."
"And if your wrong?"
"I would put money on it that I'm not wrong, I'm never wrong on stuff like this. But even so you really don't have much to lose. I mean just chalk up feeding him to being nice and the cuddling to you being scared and him being your yami. See its simple." Ryou looked doubtful but nodded.
"I suppose."
"Great! Then lets get in and eat!"
