Chapter 5: Arguing is Not Allowed!
Yami and Ryou left the next day on their… date. Yami couldn't believe what Bakura had come up with. This was too much! Sure, he found Ryou an interesting person, but he wasn't attracted to him… was he?
"Say, Yami? Are you hungry?" Ryou asked him.
Yami looked at his watch; it was now 12:30 PM. Of course Ryou was hungry. It was already time to eat something for lunch. But, he didn't feel hungry; he felt like a nervous wreck. "What do you want to eat?"
"Well, how about some pizza?"
"Didn't we just have pizza last night, though?" Yami asked, not wanting to go there because of a certain someone that was working today.
"I know that, but… I guess I really like it. So…" Ryou gave a cute little pout and Yami couldn't help but agree to what he wanted to do.
"Alright. C'mon, I know where we can go," he said, leading Ryou to a Pizza Hut. He looked around nervously as they entered, hoping not to see…
"Ah, Yami."
…him. "Hello, Malik."
"What are you doing here?" asked the platinum-blonde teen. "You usually avoid this place when I'm working." Malik peered behind Yami. "And who do we have here?"
Ryou looked at him innocently and said, "I'm his date. It was a dare thanks to my idiotic brother."
Malik grinned mischievously at Yami, who scowled back. "Alright, I'll show you two to a table." He picked up two menus and lead the couple to a table by a window. After making sure they were seated, Malik asked, "What do you want to drink?"
"Pepsi is fine for me," Ryou said politely.
"Same," said Yami.
Malik nodded and went into the kitchen, leaving Yami and Ryou to themselves. Ryou watched Yami's features curiously, wondering what on Earth he could possibly be thinking about right now. Still… had his brother read his mind? How could Bakura have possibly known that Ryou was attracted to Yami? He watched silently as Yami gazed out the window calmly. He let out a breath and shifted his look toward some chattering girls.
Yami looked at Ryou once the albino boy turned his head. He hated to admit it but… he was… well, pretty. And his long hair even made him look like a girl; how could he not be at least a little attracted to him?
Malik came back with the drinks and asked, "Do you know what you want yet?"
"I'll just have whatever Ryou's having," said Yami, turning his gaze to Malik.
"Alright… and what is Ryou having?"
"Hmm… how about the taco pizza?" offered the beautiful boy to Yami, who nodded.
"Fine… oh and, Yami, guess who's coming later today."
"I'd rather not," sighed the blonde teen. "But I think you're going to tell me anyway."
"Of course. It's Marik." Malik gave the order to the cook and came back to sit next to Yami and talk about his relationship with Marik. (AN: I have decided to have the yami and hikari Ishtars be OOC…but if they don't seem OOC to you, then I'm surprised. I just started watching the anime again and I only saw a few episodes with the Egyptian guy…I'll shut up now).
Ryou simply watched the two. They seemed to know each other quite well. Maybe they were somewhat close friends? Still, Ryou couldn't help but feel at least a little jealous. He knew he shouldn't be feeling this way after he just met Yami, but… Someone, who looked almost identical to Malik, walked toward the table. Yami and Malik seemed not to notice until the strange newcomer wrapped his arms around Malik, causing the pizza employee to yelp in surprise.
"You idiot!" exclaimed Malik. "I thought I told you, no play-time while I'm working. Got it?"
"Malik, you're always working," complained his look alike. He then saw the blonde sitting at the table. "So, if it isn't Yami? Still playing card games?"
"And you're still very good at making a fool of yourself," said Yami. "You'll end up getting Malik fired someday, you know. In fact, why don't you just get him fired now?"
"Hold on, Yami!" said Malik. "Are you saying I'm terrible at what I do?"
"No, I'm saying that I don't like seeing you every single day."
Okay, thought Ryou as he began walking away from the feuding table. Yami's friends are a bit… strange, to say the least. Maybe I'll just leave them alone for a bit. He leaned against a wall and watched them continue arguing, knowing that this was going to be a very long day.
(End of Chapter)
Hikari: I'll stop it there.
Yugi: You actually wrote it.
Bakura: Not much. And why do I have to be Ryou's brother? I wanted to be his boyfriend, not his brother!
Hikari: Maybe next time, psycho.
Ryou: Be nice, everyone.
Hikari: How long did it take me to write this one chapter?
Yami: Do you really want an answer?
Hikari: sweat drop Guess not. Anyways, I'm really, really, really sorry about the long wait. I kinda forgot about this story, I'm so sorry. I will try to update more often now. However, I have no idea what to put next, so if you guys have any ideas, please let me know. ;; or if you want me to just stop writing this, I'll understand… (even though I'm finally rereading it again so I can update more quickly.) If you don't forgive me for taking so long to write a short chapter, then I won't forgive myself for taking so long to write a short chapter. I'm gonna go get laughed at by Bakura now…
