Chapter 13: I miss him and so do I think of killing him


Malik POV

I look at chibi Ryou being all so happy with the others, I was too but some thoughts made me caught in some depression. It wasn't depression but it was a sadness I couldn't hold on anymore. But why? I don't think I wanna think about it now. It's too soon and too much for me. Like it or not, do I have to think about it? I may have to doubt that.

"Ryou, you okay?" I ask, my question caught Joey's attention as he shot his head turning to Ryou and me while we were setting up our blankets in Ryou's room. Ryou look pretty nervous when I ask him the question, I wanted to know what's got into him. "Twe others sweep where?" I think that mean 'the others sleep where?' I look over at Joey and gave him a questioning look, "Well, Ryou. Wait for a sec while I go check for Bakura to plan this up clearly." Joey said politely as he smiles to the chibi and me. He walks downstairs and leaving me with Ryou alone in his room.

I fold the blankets and all those things, we were planning to sleep in one room but maybe what disturbs Ryou is probably the size of the room to fit an amount of people. "Hey!" I heard a friendly voice called; I turn with Ryou and saw Bakura and Joey. "Hey chibi, hey Malik. What's up now?" Bakura ask, in a smirking tone. "Bakuwa, hwave oo plan who sweeps in whose room?" Ryou ask shyly at his yami, "Yeah, since we have 2 rooms in this house." I added. Bakura blink that had this face telling us he actually forgotten about it, "Okay, okay, how bout Yugi, Joey, Malik and Mai sleeps in your room, chibi? And the others sleeps in my room, okay?" Bakura said in a childish tone, leaning down rubbing his nose against Ryou's. Joey and I giggled at it, it looks so cute. Bakura and Ryou then turn to us, the chibi was already blushing over at us giggling at them but we can't help it! It is a cute scene to look at! "Anyway, I'm going down and leaving you here." Bakura said, kissing his hikari'sforehead and left the room. "Boy, Ryou, you have a lucky yami though!" Joey teased, winking at Ryou. I giggled when I see Ryou blushing and tried to hide his face.

Time has pass, and now everyone is sleeping in each room but except for me. You can see I'm now sitting myself on the house's rooftop trying to relax my mind. Beautiful stars and the moon glows the night so beautifully. I can't believe my own yami left me! No, maybe he didn't leave me. But will he really be back by the end of this month? The day before or after Christmas Eve. I look around the rooftop and see the edge of it; I see the view of many people decorating their houses in Christmas decoration and couple who share their time together in what they were doing. I smile in relief; I just wish I had that moment with Marik. Heck, he's not here! Whatever, am not thinking about it!

But . . .will he—

"Hey? You're here?" I heard a voice, a deep, dark familiar voice from the back of me. I look back by my shoulders and see Bakura climbing out from the window just to reach here. "Yeah, am here." I replied, oddly soft and low I keep my voice. Bakura came up beside me, we both look at the stars. "I know you must have miss Marik very much, huh? Nah, he'll be back from Okinawa soon enough." He said, in a voice, which refers that he could read my mind. I just give a sad sigh, I hope what he says is true. "Why are you here anyway?" I ask back, looking at him. He looks back at me blankly, "I like to hang out here sometimes, seeing the stars and thinking about stuff." "Like what?" he sighs, "Like when will my hikari change to the normal-looking Ryou." I just give an 'oh I see' look and a small moan.

"Malik, you don't have to be too sad or too worried over this." He said to me, reading my face.

"I know, but you know how much I love him! How dare he goes to Okinawa and tells me he'll be back after the end of the month. He didn't tell me he put Ryou into chibi form!"

"Yeah, but that didn't matter to you, didn't it?" he ask lightly, seems as if like he knew all this or—what has got the question to be asked. I look back at him and turn away harshly, looking at the stars and admiring it instead.

"Malik, I've known you as my best friend for like—2 years already. That didn't matter to why Marik change Ryou to a chibi, did it matter to you? No, what matters to you is why did he go away and whether he'll be back end of this month for sure. I've also known your lover for years and sure he'll be back!" he patted my back in a friendly manner, I just continue to duck my head and think back what he said. Yes, what Bakura says was what my mind has been thinking about. What matters to me was he, Marik. Will he really be back for sure? Is it confirmable? What will really happen in the future? I thought this for long and hard and I hope for an answer. "Bakura, do you—feel the same way for Ryou?" he blink at me confusingly, "You mean—" I nodded, he sighs and looks back up the stars. "Yeah, but I have to wait until he's in his normal self then I can get to him closer right?" he laughed, "Boy is he cute and wonderful, Malik. I just feel like I wanna—kiss him. But no, make myself draw to him closer and like forever." He said, in a voice of astonishment towards Ryou, I have to smile for him.

He looks back at me and raises an eyebrow, "Oh come on, Malik! Cheer up!" I perk up, and look at him in a rare gaze, "Bakura, you're lucky than me. My own lover is in Okinawa and yours is just here." "Yeah, but in a chibi form. Let's just say we both aren't that lucky." We both laugh at this, "Don't worry, he'll be back for sure and we'll kill him for being to long in Okinawa while you're worrying for him and I'll kill him for my hikari's sake." I chuckled, "I guess we also have to kill him for Ra's sake." He pouted but smirk then, "Ra must agree with us to kill him when he's back!" we laugh again, sometimes I always feel that Bakura knows me a lot better than anyone else as a friend. "I think Ryou also feel the same way for you like how you do for him." he look at me in awe, "You think?" I shrug, "Well, if not, why would he let you go close to him and let you even be with him in the first place? Maybe that's a sign that maybe he do have feelings for you too." I said, a voice of confidence. He smirked, "Maybe it's true. I hope it is." Then he look back at the stars, "Hey Malik, I think I already plan for this Christmas for my hikari." I look at him quizzically, trying to search an answer or a question to his comment. "What's that?" "You know the Big Tower in Tokyo? What's the name again? Yeah! Kuraiyami Yuki Tower Bridge." I gasp in awe, that place he was referring to is a very beautiful place to look at or to be at especially at night. On Valentine's Day, couples in Tokyo usually love spending their nights there. The hotels, the cuisine, everything there is what all couples dream of! Mostly they like to check out the stars and the nights there—for is a perfect view to look at. "Like how are you going to bring Ryou there?" "When he's in his normal self of course. Then by Christmas Eve, I plan to bring him there and see the fireworks of Christmas there. I heard the people there are gonna be there just for the fireworks at night and is going to be on for 2 hours. And the music, the hotel, the cuisine, the food, the reunion—everything!" I smile thoughtfully, "How long you're gonna spend your nights with Ryou there?" he cups his chin with his fingers, "Probably 2 nights. Depends on Ryou."

"Malik, maybe you can decide to bring him there." I look back at him unsurely, "Maybe, Bakura, maybe. I'm not so sure since he's not here." "Nah!! He'll be here! When he's here, quickly drag him then!" he grins, I look back at him in a raising eyebrow, "O-Okay, I'll try." I blushed; he remains his grin and got up roughly, "Great! Anyway, gotta sleep! Night!" and he jumps in the window and to his room. I was left on the rooftop and think about what he said, I think I really owe Bakura one. He has made me more than confident in my worry thoughts.
