Ta as always Shaami. This will probably be the last time I update for a
while, btw, as I'm going away. Oh, and no, I'm not going to do what you
tell me, so :-P
~-~
I wake to find that it is rather late in the afternoon, which is strange; I've never overslept before. I wonder why neesan didn't wake me up? Eventually, I make myself presentable and make my way downstairs.
The place is quiet, so Marik must have gone out, probably to cause havoc with Bakura. That thought makes me smirk, because he honestly doesn't think I know about it. He thinks I'd be mad with him, when the truth is, I've often thought about tagging along. Neesan has made it quite clear that I'm not to partake in their bad habits however.
I enter the front room and find a note addressed to me, from the immaculate handwriting, I know it's from neesan. Skimming through it, I find that she got called to the museum to work and that Marik has gone out with Bakura as I thought. Sighing, I slump onto the couch; this is going to be a very boring day.
Briefly, I consider phoning the Game Shop and spending the day with the Yugi-tachi, but quickly decide against it. After yesterday, it would be too much hassle; I'll have to wait a few days so they forget about it. However, that still leaves me bored and alone for the next few days, so I need to figure something out to pass the time.
I have to ignore my first idea, since Ishizu would kill me if I didn't. Not that I see why hanging around with the rare hunters and getting more rare cards is a bad thing. Just because the last time I was trying to kill Pharaoh and rule the planet isn't any reason to forbid me having any contact with them. Wait, since when did I think like that? I must have been around Marik too much.
Any more idiotic ideas or sarcastic thoughts are cut short when I hear a knock at the door, which probably means its Pharaoh, since pretty much everyone else uses the bell. I suddenly feel very thankful I took the time to get ready; I hate looking a mess. Good job Kali isn't around or she would've laughed at me, saying I sounded like a girl, she always found my need to look perfect very amusing, though she often said it was impossible for me not to look perfect. Anyway, I need to answer the door.
"Konnichi wa Pharaoh."
"Ya Malik."
"Nan desu ka?"
"Uh, I just wondered if you wouldn't mind, uh, I don't know, talking?"
That's odd, why is he so nervous? It isn't like Yami at all. I guess I'll have to agree to find out why. On the bright side, it does mean I'm not alone and hopefully that I won't be bored.
"Sure Yami, come in."
I move aside and motion for him to enter the lounge. I close the door and ask if he wants anything to drink, damn Ishizu for making me learn how to be a good host. Thankfully, he doesn't, so I join him in the lounge and take a seat.
"Uh, thanks Malik, this isn't a bother is it?"
"No, I had nothing else to do. So what is it?"
"It's kind of, embarrassing, promise you won't tell anyone?"
Embarrassing? Why would he come to me then? Hm, this is getting interesting.
"Sure Pharaoh, I won't repeat anything you say. So?"
"Well, it's about Marik.."
It's about Marik and it's embarrassing? I wonder, does that mean what I think it does? Lets be naïve about this then.
"My yami? What about him?"
"Uh, well, you see, I kind of, um."
Oh yeah, it definitely seems as though I'm right, especially since he's turned a crimson colour.
"Just say it Yami."
He looks at me, seemingly startled and then takes a deep breath, still looking very crimson.
"I think I've fallen for Marik, and I don't know what to do about it."
I have to suppress the urge to start laughing, because he wouldn't take it the right way. It's more that I'm happy, because I know Marik has a thing for Yami too.
"Tell him, or better yet, show him how you feel."
"But, what if, I mean."
"Calm down Yami, because you're really incoherent. Trust me, he won't laugh or anything, he'll probably just look like a gold fish for a while."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes Pharaoh, I'm sure my yami likes you as well, so I'm glad you came and told me."
"Thanks Malik, I owe you."
It's strange to see Yami look so happy, especially when it's because of my yami; things have really changed a lot. Still, that isn't a bad thing, not in this case anyway. I smile and nod.
"No problem, this is as much for Marik as it is for you."
"I know, but you still listened to me, I half expected you to turn me away."
"In the past, I would have done, either that or challenged you to a duel with your puzzle as the prize. Things have changed a lot since then though."
"Don't I know that, I mean, whoever would have thought I could have fallen in love with him after everything that happened?"
"In love with who Pharaoh?"
Oh dear, that's Bakura's voice, why didn't I hear them come in? They're not normally this quiet.
"None of your business thief." Yami spits.
"What are you two doing here anyway? Ishizu said you'd be gone all day."
I try to change the subject quickly, before Yami and Bakura start fighting.
"I wanted to check on you, seems that you're just fine though."
Marik sounds hurt, I wonder if he thinks that Yami meant..
"Right, well that was nice of you. Uh, Bakura, can you disappear please?"
Bakura looks ready to argue, but I glare at him and start playing with a dagger, having thrown it at him numerous times for annoying me, he changes his mind and walks out.
"What is this about hikari?"
"Yami needs to talk to you about something. If you'll excuse me."
I quickly exit the room; before either can protest and make sure Bakura isn't in the vicinity. Sufficed that he isn't, I head up to my room and hope that Yami doesn't cower out of telling Marik how he feels.
~-~
There you go, hope you enjoyed, even though I didn't do any flirting. Maybe I'll do that with Malik and Bakura instead. Maybe I'll do mush on the next chapter, or maybe I won't tell what happened, or just have Yami back out. Who knows? Anyway, review as always. Ja!
