Like Oil And Water
Chapter 3: De Nile- A River In Egypt
Bakura sighed and pushed Marik towards the river again. "Hurry up, I don't have all day."
Marik nodded slowly, "Alright ..."
He shivered as he got into the river again. He started bathing. Bakura watched him with intrest as the boy used as little water as possible. A wicked idea formed in his mind.
He walked over to Marik and splashed water on him, "Boo!"
Marik screamed and slipped and fell into the deep end. Bakura lept into action and caught his wrist, pulling him back to safety, "It's okay. I got you."
Marik slipped again on the rocks and fell onto Bakura's chest. He blushed and quickly pulled away, "I'm so sorry!"
Bakura grinned, "Oh come on! That was too obvious!"
"What! I did NOT do that on purpose!"
Bakura laughed, "For suuuuuure!"
"I didn't! I swear! You're the one who pushed me so then you could save me!"
"That is NOT true! I'm not that desperate!"
"Well neither am I! You're the one looking at me when I'm taking a bath!"
"Listen you, I've seen you naked already, and trust me there isn't much to see."
Marik gasped and looked embarassed, "That ... that isn't true."
"Oh please-"
"Stop it!"
Marik hid in the water, "You're so ... mean ..."
"I was just joking!"
"Those jokes hurt me!"
"Okay ... okay. I'm sorry. Maybe I can help you wash your back?"
Marik shrugged and Bakura hid behind some Papyrus reeds and undressed. He let Marik have a good look at him before slipping swiftly into the Nile.
Marik was left shocked and staring, "Ba-Bakura ...?"
"Yes Marik?"
"Why are you coming in!"
"To help you, stupid!"
Bakura grabbed Marik's shoulders and slowly rubbed them, moving down to his back.
'I can't believe he fell for it ... now ... what does this say ...'
Bakura's eyes widened, "I don't know this script!"
Marik frowned and turned around, "Why are you trying to read it!"
"I was just curious ... wait."
Bakura noticed the water around Marik. It was red. "Turn around, I think your back is bleeding ..."
"What!"
"Just turn around!"
bakura whirled Marik around and saw the scars seeping a lot of blood from them, a puddle was quickly forming and mixing with the water, "Oh gods ... let's get going ... we need to stop the bleeding."
Marik suddenly felt dizzy and fell backwards.
Bakura caught him, "See! Do you want to die!"
Marik slowly shook his head.
"Then let's get going!"
Marik nodded and swayed unsteadily, but put a hand on Bakura's arm to steady himself.
Bakura got out and quickly dressed, leaving his cloak for Marik. He turned to the boy and held his arms out, "Come here."
Marik reached out to grab Bakura's shoulders and pull himself up. Bakura grabbed Marik's waist and pulled him up, though.
Then he wrapped Marik up in his cloak and picked him up and carried him, "Just relax ... okay? You'll be okay, I got you."
Marik nodded and soon fell asleep in Bakura's arms. Bakura felt good that Marik was in his arms.
'As long as he's here he might as well do some good, like keep me warm. But, I can't get too attached. Remus says we need him for something ... so I just have to keep this act enough to use him to get what we want ...'
Bakura wanted to deny all the mixed feelings in his heart. But an annoying voice in the back off his head prodded at him.
'He's cute when he's sleeping ... wait! NO! He's ugly ... he's ... okay, he's not ugly. But not cute either! ARGH! I'm going insane!'
Thankfully, Bakura and Marik reached the Red Land Inn soon after. Bakura quickly opened his door and walked in. He threw Marik on the bed. The boy woke up with a scared cry.
"Hey! What happened! Where am I! Why is it so dark!"
Bakura grinned as he found the bandages in his bedside table. He slowly sat on the bed next to Marik and wrapped his arms around Marik's waist, "Shh ..."
"WHO ARE YOU!"
"It's ME stupid! Now hold still."
Marik didn't move at all. Bakura warpped bandages around Marik. Listen ... tommorow we can go out shopping or something. Then I'm going to show you the best places in Egypt! You'll love it!"
Marik frowned, but ofcourse Bakura couldn't see it, "Is ... it ... a date?"
Bakura blushed, but ofcourse Marik couldn't see it, "Sure why not."
He tried to regain his cool, "After all ... why waste such a beautiful day as tommorow if it isn't spending it with you?"
It was Marik's turn to blush, "Alright ... I look forward to it!"
Bakura hugged Marik's now naked body to his own fully clothed one. He pushed Marik onto the bed and still held him close. Without noticing he whispered, "I think I like you ..."
Marik tensed, "Really?"
Bakura tensed as well.
'Oh shit!'
"I ... think I do ..."
"Only THINK!"
'Double shit ...'
"No ... I do know ... and I do love you ... you're my first love, you know?"
"Really! Mine too ..."
Bakura frowned, "But ... weren't you bethrothed to someone?"
Marik nodded, "My sister ... but that's just nasty."
Bakura laughed, "Alright ... then, goodnight. Tommorow's going to be a nice day ... but very tiring."
"Alright Kura ..."
And Marik slept while Bakura felt sickened with himself and wondered why he couldn't deny what he'd just said.
