#2: Your Kiss Is As Hot As Fire?
"I miss you so much…" Bakura wrapped his arms around Malik's neck and hugged him lovingly. Malik touched Bakura's head and smiled lovingly. "I miss you too."((Wow… they look like a pair. This is such a beautiful scene; it looks just like a painting.))
This was what everyone thought at that moment.
"H-Hi… Malik." Everyone greeted in a very shocked tone. "Hi. Everyone." Malik greeted back politely.
"Are you guys not feeling well? Your faces are blue in color." Malik asked with concern and curiosity in his voice and expression. "N-No… nothing, we are just shocked." Yugi answered with a chill down his spine.
"Shocked?" Malik asked surprisingly. "Why?"
Yugi and the gang almost fainted, the color on their faces were worst than before. "No… we just didn't know that Bakura is your lover." Yugi smiled awkwardly at Malik. "WHAT? Bakura's my LOVER?" Malik almost fell from his position. Everyone was confused by Malik's words and action.
"No, it's a misunderstandi-ng." Malik's words were cut off as Bakura stopped him by saying. "Yes. It's the truth. Malik loves me."
"W-What?" Malik looked at Bakura with a confused expression on his face as his jaws almost dropped. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Bakura turned his head and looked at Malik adorably.
"Don't you...?" Bakura gave Malik a 'hurt' look. Malik blushed as he quickly regained his senses, averting his gaze away from Bakura and looked at everyone who was in front of him, who was gazing at both of them with curiosity written all over their faces.
"No… believe me everyone." Malik looked at everyone seriously. "How do you expect us to believe you?" Yami pointed at the scene right in front of him. Malik then noticed that Bakura was still hugging him. "Ah…!" Malik's eyes widened as he continued. "Let go off me."
"So, they were indeed together." Kaiba whispered to Jou in his ears and Jou nodded in agreement. Malik's eyes widened like dish plates when he heard what Kaiba had said.
"I didn't know they were a pair." Yami said to Yugi softly covering his mouth.
"No… wait; it's a misunderstanding..." Malik tried to defend himself as he was interrupted by their ongoing conversation.
"Look, they are so loving. Bakura even calls him M…Mal-Mal… Eeeelll. Gross!" Honda said as he hugged Otogi in his arms. Malik's jaws dropped and his face turned blue when he heard what Honda had said.
"Let's drop this topic." Ryou folded his arms and said seriously. "We are still not sure whether they are a pair or not, maybe it's just one of Bakura's jokes." Ryou said with a composed look.
"Yeah, maybe Ryou's right." Jou said as he lifted his fingers and placed them at his cheek, wondering what Ryou had just said. "We didn't even hear nor have any news that Malik is going steady with Bakura before." Kaiba looked at his puppy with surprised and admiration in his eyes. "Yeah, maybe it's true." Kaiba smiled as he looked at his puppy, "My puppy sure is clever."
Everyone's perspective was soon shaken by Ryou's words. "Ahhh…. Ryou… you are my savoir. Thanks." Malik said as he almost rushed towards Ryou and hugged him, looking at him with thankfulness in his eyes. "Don't thank me so quickly first. I'm still not sure whether it's true or not. Maybe Bakura and you are really going steady together." Ryou looked at Malik doubtfully as he put his hand forward, stopping Malik's from coming to hug him.
"Why…? Even you?" Malik said as he looked hurt because he expected that Ryou wouldn't doubt him. "I thought Bakura…" Malik quickly stopped as he realized the mistake that he was almost getting into. "Bakura…? What?" Ryou looked at Malik curiously. "No. Nothing…." Malik quickly turned his gaze away and looked elsewhere, leaving Ryou confused by the words not finished by Malik.
((I thought Bakura like Ryou!)) Malik thought.
"HEY, Ryou!" Yugi called out Ryou's name loudly, startling Ryou, breaking him from his trail of thoughts. "Do you want to play chocolate sticks game?" Yugi asked excitedly. "What's that 'chocolate sticks game'?" Ryou lifted an eyebrow and looked at Yugi curiously.
"Oh… it's a game about two persons starting to eat a chocolate stick from opposite ends, and if they have finished eating the whole stick, it means they win. But if the stick breaks halfway, it means they lose." Yugi explained carefully as he continued. "It's a very simple game." Yugi smiled and looked at Ryou.
"Are you mad? Why should I play this stupid game?" Ryou looked at Yugi angrily as he noticed that Jou and Kaiba were already playing that stupid game. They were hugging each other tightly and were already kissing hotly. Ryou's jaws almost dropped as he turned his head over to the other side, keeping his view away from Kaiba and Jou.
But on the other side, Ryou was even more surprised to find Otogi and Honda had just finished eating their chocolate stick and Honda was already licking Otogi's neck! ((Must be imagining that Otogi is the chocolate stick now…)) Ryou thought.
Yami gestured for Yugi to come over to his side. ((I bet he wants to try out that stupid game with Yugi too.)) Ryou thought, looking at the situation which seemed to be heading that way.
"It's fun, try it." Yugi smiled at Ryou happily. ((What it's fun?)) Ryou looked at Yugi who was still smiling happily, suspiciously. ((Don't use a smiling face to say something terrible like this. I don't want to waste my first kiss on this kind of stupid game.))
While Yugi was about to ran over to Yami's side, Bakura interrupted. "I want to play too!" Bakura raised his hands and said excitedly. "W-What?" Ryou's eyes widened as he looked at Bakura confusedly. Bakura quickly took a chocolate stick from Yami's hand and shoved it into Ryou's mouth as he began to eat the chocolate stick from other end.
((Eh…?)) Ryou was so shocked that he couldn't believe what was happening now. ((What is Bakura thinking?)) Ryou looked at Bakura confusedly while Bakura looked as if he was in deep thoughts. The distance soon shortened in a few seconds, their faces were only a few inches away from each other. ((Oh no… we are going to kiss.)) Ryou blushed as he felt his heart beat fasten. Ryou closed his eyes tightly, blushing as he screamed mentally. ((Noooo…))
Just when Bakura's lips were about to touched Ryou's….
The stick broke.
"Ah… just a few more centimeters and I could finish it… such a pity." Bakura buried his fingers in his hair and said to Yugi and Yami, who was watching them all the time.
((Just now…)) Ryou looked at Bakura with his eyes wide opened. ((Just now… Bakura… Bakura broke the stick on purpose!)) Ryou blushed and covered his lips with his hand.
"Hehe…." A crazy idea strike Yami as he laughed evilly. "Now is Malik's and Ryou's turn to play." Yami looked at Malik and Ryou mischievously. Yugi, Jou pushed Malik towards Ryou as Honda inserted a chocolate stick into Malik's mouth. Right behind Ryou was Otogi and Kaiba, pushing him forward. ((Oh… What is happening now?)) Ryou thought as he tried to run away from that bunch of stupid gays.
Bakura stopped Otogi and Kaiba by placing his hand in front of Ryou. Then… Bakura moved forward, he finished the chocolate stick in a blink of an eye and gave Malik a red, hot, loving kiss. ((Awww…)) Everyone gulped and mentally screamed at the scene in front of them.
Malik blushed as he fell down on the floor. Everyone in the living room was blushing and surprised by Bakura's actions. They were even more convinced that Bakura was Malik's lover.
"What are you doing? Bakura?" Malik blushed and covered his lips with his hand.
Bakura lowered his head; he touched his lips slightly and smirked, saying. "What am I doing?" Bakura lifted his head up and looked at Malik in his eyes. "Mal-Mal…" Bakura smiled and continued, "I'm kissing you."
Everyone in the living room was having goose bumps; blushing and shocked by Bakura's answer. Everyone screamed mentally at Bakura's answer.
Malik was getting irritated as Bakura didn't answer his question. "I didn't ask WHAT ARE YOU DOING JUST NOW, I mean why did you… kiss me?" Malik asked urgently, furious that he was being kissed without a reason.
"Uhh… Uhh…" Bakura closed his eyes and shook his fingers. "Firstly, you did ask me 'What are you doing? Bakura?', so I say I'm kissing you." Malik gave Bakura a 'Did I say so' look and continued listening to what Bakura says.
"Secondly, if you want to know why I kissed you…." Bakura walked towards Malik and simply answered back, like it was expected. "Because it's a game." Bakura smiled sweetly at Malik which caused him to blush even deeper.
"Right, it's just a game." Yugi blushed as he looked at Bakura and then back at Yami, lifting up his thumb, which seemed like he was hinting 'Good work or something else'.
Ryou's face was colored with deep red as he looked at Bakura and thought.
((Wow! Bakura is soo MAN! He is really cool! He made Malik shut up all of a sudden.))
It was 1 am in the morning. "Hey guys… it's getting late, let's go and sleep ok?" Jou yawned as his eyes were starting to close. Yami looked at the clock and back at Jou. "Yes, it's pretty late. Let's go back to our room and have some sleep."
"Ok, now let's decide on which room you guys want. We have nine people here…" Yugi said as he counted the number of people in the room. "Do you want to share your room or do you want to sleep alone?"
Kaiba carried Jou in bridal style way and looked at Yugi. "Jou and I will share a room together." Jou who was hugged by Kaiba nodded and spoke. "We would like to share a room together." Yugi and Yami looked at Kaiba and Jou confusedly. "Why? It's not that we don't have enough rooms." Yami and Yugi asked together. Kaiba shook his head and sighed. "Are the both of you really that stupid? You two are really slow at this kind of thing."
Kaiba was starting to get really irritated as Yami and Yugi still don't get what he meant. Kaiba shouted at the both of them. "How do you expect us to MAKE LOVE if our rooms are different?" Yami and Yugi gaped as they opened their eyes wide, looking like two goldfishes. Kaiba smirked at the look of Yami and Yugi as he carried his love to sit at the couch, leaving Yami and Yugi blushing, thinking how stupid it was to ask that question.
"Otogi and I would like to share a room together too." Honda smirked at Yami and Yugi, who were still blushing. "Guess you don't need to ask the reason again right? Our answer is the same." Honda said as he kissed his lover on his cheeks. Yami and Yugi faces immediately turned red. "What about Bakura, Malik and Ryou?" Yami asked as he looked at the three handsome boys.
"I would like to have a room." Ryou smiled at Yami as he yawned and walked upstairs, back to his room.
"I would like to have a room too." Bakura smiled at the Yami and Yugi. "Why?" Yugi looked at Bakura confused. This time Yugi seemed to be cleverer. "Don't you want to share your room with Malik?" Yugi asked innocently, thinking that their answers will be the same as the pairs before.
"WHAT? Why do you ask that? Yugi?" Malik blushed as he continued. "Why is it specifically Bakura?" Malik pouted and folded his arms. Bakura looked at Malik as their eyes met; thoughts went through Bakura's mind as he quickly turned his gaze away.
Bakura sighed as he stroked his hair. "It's ok… I'll take a room." Malik was surprised by Bakura's answer; his eyes were wide opened but soon narrowed. ((Bakura's weird.)) "Wai-t Bakura…" Malik quickly chased after Bakura who was walking up the stairs, back to his room.
Back in the living room, there was a crazy motive for this gathering. "Hehe… it's going on pretty well. But… there's a hindrance." Yami and the gang smiled evilly.
"Wait… Bakura… there's something I want to ask you." Bakura stopped as he turned his head back looking at Malik confusedly. "What's wrong with you? You are acting weird." Malik looked at Bakura with concern in his eyes. "I thought you like Ryou...? Then why are you treating me like this? Like… I'm your lover?"
Malik held Bakura's hand gently and asked. "Have you told Ryou how you feel towards him?" Bakura was shocked when he heard Malik's words, but his eyes soon narrowed.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
((Our motive? That is to turn Ryou into a gay. Like us.)) Yami, Yugi, Kaiba, Jou, Otogi and Honda smirked and smiled evilly at their ulterior motive.
"Ah chooo." ((Whoooo… I just felt something cold pass down my spine.)) Ryou sneezed as he got off his bed, he couldn't fall asleep. The minute Ryou wants to sleep; the image of Bakura being close and almost kissed him appeared in his mind. Ryou's heart beat fasten and his face was blushing red.
((What is Bakura thinking? Is he playing a game to me, like what he did to Malik? Why am I bothered by this? This feeling is terrible.)) Ryou shook his head and walked towards the door. ((I better take a walk before I go to sleep.)) While Ryou was walking down the corridor, he saw Bakura and Malik standing along the corridor. Malik was grabbing Bakura's hand tightly. Bakura's eyes were narrowed, he seemed like he was in difficulty.
"Wai-t Malik… What are you doing to Bakura…?" Ryou was agitated as he shouted loudly, but his voice was overlapped by Bakura's voice. "Why am I treating you like this?" Bakura's eyes narrowed as he looked at Malik, like he was in pain.
"Marik has disappeared right?" Malik froze and trembled. "H-How… did… you know?" Malik's hand which was holding on Bakura's released. "M…Marik had disappeared for 3 months right? Because he lose in a shadow game." Malik's eyes saddened as he leaned on the wall behind him.
((What's going on? Malik and Bakura look sad. Argh… I'm too far away; I couldn't hear what they are talking about.)) Ryou hid behind a wall and looked at them secretly.
"That's why I keep bothering you. I know I'm irritating and I'm stupid but… If I don't do this, I think you will feel lonely." Bakura clutched his fists tightly and looked at Malik. While on the other hand, Malik had the sudden urge to hug Bakura tightly at that moment.
"Bakura…." Malik felt sorry for what he had said to Bakura after hearing his words, those were harsh words… very harsh words for someone who cares about him dearly.
"I'm sorry…" Malik lowered his head down and apologized. "Hm…? Sorry for what?" Bakura don't understand what Malik was talking about. "I'm just sorry…" Malik apologized again. Bakura smiled gently as he walked closer to Malik and caressed his head gently. Malik was shocked when he felt Bakura's touch, immediately he looked up at him, directly in his gentle eyes.
"There's no need to apologize." Bakura smiled, immediately his smile changed into a smirk. "I can't stand it when you're like this..." Bakura folded his arms and pouted, looking at Malik childishly.
((I'm the one who can't stand it when you are like this.)) Malik thought as he smiled at the childish look of Bakura. When Bakura saw Malik's smile, he was relief and immediately smiled back at the blonde. /Malik is finally smiling./ Bakura thought as he was finally seeing Malik's smile.
"By the way, how did you know that?" Malik smiled and looked at Bakura curiously.
"Because I'm your friend." Bakura answered by smiling sweetly at Malik. Malik blushed when he saw Bakura's face. Bakura's smile and answer made Malik couldn't control his urge to hug Bakura anymore as he pulled him into his embrace. Bakura was shocked and his eyes were wide opened.
"Hahaha… you are really…." Malik laughed and blushed as he hugged Bakura tightly in his embrace. "Really… my best friend." Malik blushed and smiled happily at Bakura, while Bakura smiled and leaned towards Malik's hug.
((Wow… what is this I'm seeing?)) Ryou gasped as he covered his mouth with his hands at the scene in front of him. Ryou felt his heart almost stopped. ((Are they really together? But Bakura didn't tell me before. Hmph… I shouldn't have help Malik just now… but if this is the truth…)) Ryou sweat dropped and his face turned really pale, nearly blue in colour. ((This makes me a fool! I'm so stupid.))
As Ryou looked closer at both of the hugging fools, he felt something sour in his heart and he wonders what is it? Suddenly the image of Bakura trying to kiss him flashed through again, making him blushed madly. Ryou took a last look at the both of them as he clenched his fist tightly and walked away from the scenario in front of him. ((What's wrong with me?)) Ryou ran along the corridor towards his room with a confused mind.
Malik grumbled as he folded his arms, thinking. ((Oh shit… I'm being tricked by Bakura again! He still hasn't told me whether he has told Ryou how he feels towards him and how he knew that Marik was lost?))
While on the other hand, Bakura walked back to his room; his eyes narrowed when Malik's words ran through his mind.
/I thought you like Ryou…? Have you told Ryou how you feel towards him?/
Behind them were pairs of eyes looking at Ryou, Bakura and Malik. They didn't notice that a bunch of devils were eyeing the whole situation. "Hehe! So… Ryou is really feeling something for Malik. But maybe he doesn't know it…."
Ryou closed the door and sat on his bed. ((What is this feeling I'm having? Why do I feel something sour?)) The flash of Bakura's face appeared again. ((Ah! It must be Bakura! I'm starting to feel weird again; it's all because of him! Who asked him to play that stupid game on me!)) Anger and something else started to fill Ryou's heart.
((But… Maybe… I'm wrong. How could it be Bakura? May be I have think too much.)) Ryou shook his head and lied on his bed as he tugged himself under the blanket and fell into a deep sleep.
