Hi everybody. I'm back and ready for a new chapter. I'm sorry...but I had a bad case of writer's block that's why I didn't update.

Melody- okay and for curious reviewers the bet was on if the two Egyptians would restore their relationship that night and what would happen. By the way Thank You for such wonderful reviews. Someday I'm going to get around to answering them all. Actually I'll do that in the last chapter.

Me- Yeah, um...let's see I don't want to make this long but does anyone know a good yugi/yami story? I just have the urge to read one. I don't know...

Melody- ignore her please...Anyways(disclaimer) this stupid idiot just passed to go on to highschool, what makes you think she can own Yugioh?

Chapter 13...Wiping Away the Tears

XXXXXXX

If you were to say Marik's house was big, that would be an understatement. Malik himself spent five minutes just on the door step admiring it. Granted it wasn't as big as Seto's but it could compete.

"Plan on coming in" Malik faced his look alike and nodded. He wasn't about to spoil his stay here by angering the other in any way.

Marik looked at Malik with sadness. He wanted so badly to take him into his arms and though he wouldn't admit it, the half dead look in Malik's eyes was frightening. It was there all along too. Even in the waiting room with their friends his eyes were like that. It was just hidden from everyone else. But every time he looked away Marik saw it. Snapping out of his thoughts Malik attempted to smile.

"I'll show you where to put your stuff," he said continuing further into the house and up a set of stairs. Malik stared when they first entered the room. Egyptian artifacts littered the floor and walls which were lined with gold. A plush black carpet covered the ground on which a bed that had a gold comforter that matched the walls rested. A few pictures and posters lined the walls as well and a pile of clothes were in the corner of the room.

"This reminds me of home," he whispered.

"You lived in Egypt?"

"Yeah, until middle school where I moved to japan and met Yugi and eventually Ryou." Malik shook his head, "There is no way I can stay in here. This is obviously not a guest room,"

"You're right. It's my room.," Marik said.

"I can't sleep here. Where would you sleep?" Malik protested. Marik made his way towards the other and wrapped his arms around his waste. He tried to ignore how Malik jumped at his touch.

"I planned on sleeping with you."

Ryou unlocked the door to his house and stepped in shaking slightly from the cold. Everyone left the hospital except for Kaiba. Sitting down on the couch closing his eyes. A second later he opened them and then looked back and forth between the clock above his t.v. and his phone. 'Is it too late to call Bakura? Probably not since he most likely just got home too but...what could I say.' he thought. Quickly deciding he picked up the phone and dialed the number he already knew by heart. The phone rang three times before being picked up.

"What?" a harsh voice demanded from the other side.

"Um, Bakura" Ryou squeaked his voice higher than usual.

"Oh, Ryou, Is something wrong" Bakura asked his voice softening somewhat.

Ryou took a deep breath then exhaled, "No, it's just that, I was wondering...if maybe, you could come over."

"Yeah" Bakura said after a few minutes of silence, "I'll be there soon" After that was said Bakura hung up and a soft smile touched Ryou's face.

True to his word Bakura was at the house in less than five minutes. Ryou could hear him running up the steps to his door and waited a few seconds after the knock before answering. Bakura was in the same position as the last time he came over leaning against the doorway.

"Hey," Ryou said and moved to the side letting the other in. "Thanks for coming."

"It's fine," Bakura walked in and made himself at home on the couch. He didn't comment about the blanket spread out on the floor until Ryou sat on it.

"Why's that there" he asked voicing his thoughts.

"Well, there isn't much room on the couch and I wanted us both to be comfortable" Ryou said blushing. Bakura got off the couch and forcefully pushed Ryou onto the floor, straddling his hips.

"What was the reason you wanted me to come over" Bakura questioned and the blush on Ryou's cheeks became more visible.

"Bakura" he said hesitantly, "I'm finding it very hard to just be friends with you. Even if we have...ah...benefits." Bakura's eyes widened as he looked at the boy below him. He felt a tingly feeling at the pit of his stomach but tried ignoring it. "I want...I want to be with you again."

Wasting no time they both leaned towards the other lips connecting as they're embrace became more heated. After they broke apart Ryou found himself wanting more contact from his renewed lover and lifted his hips grinding they're groins together. A low groan emitted from his mouth and he heard Bakura's sharp intake of breath.

"Ryou you know what this will lead to if you don't stop," Bakura said breathing heavily.

"But 'Kura...I don't want to" Ryou replied half moaning as he once again grinded their hips. Bakura leaned down and experimentally nipped at Ryou's collarbone. When the junior let out a loud moan he assumed he'd found his weak spot and smirked.

"I love you 'Kura" Ryou moaned out bringing the others face to his. Bakura fully smiled at Ryou and kissed the corner of his mouth.

"I love you too tenshi(1)"

Malik blushed and Marik realized how wrong that sounded. Mentally cursing himself he let go of Malik who took one step back.

"I meant just sleeping." he said trying to cover his mistake.

"It's fine, really" Malik said his eyes half-lidded with exhaustion.

"Well then let's get ready for bed. You can change in my private bathroom." Marik then started stripping and couldn't help but smirk at Malik's light blush. Malik noticed the smirk and gave a half one of his own. 'Two could play at this game' he thought his old spirit slightly showing. He slowly lifted the edge of his shirt knowing of the pair of eyes watching him. Malik then bent down removing his pants in an excruciatingly slow way. By the time he was undressed Marik's mouth was half open and drool was hanging in the corner. Lust filled his eyes intertwined with love that scared Malik who quickly jumped under the covers.

"I'm ready for bed now" he said a smile on his lips. Marik simply nodded and got in beside him and to Malik's surprise wrapped his arms around the younger one holding him close.

"G'night" Marik mumbled snuggling impossibly close.

Malik laid awake for a few minutes after that. 'Is this what it's like to be held? Why is my heart pounding so fast? Do I have feelings for Marik? Is this right? I don't know but what I do know is I like being held by him like this. Ra I hope he never lets go.' After a while Malik closed his eyes preparing to sleep.

"Goodnight Marik" he whispered not knowing the other had been up the whole time waiting for the other to sleep first. And for the rest of the night he didn't let go.

The car ride home was silent with Yugi and Yami. They both just like being in the other's company and no words needed to be spoken as thoughts of the day filled their heads.

"Yami" Yugi said breaking the silence.

"Yeah"

"I'm s-" "Don't even think of saying sorry again. I'm going to drive you to group because I want to not because just because your grandfather asked over the phone" The older teen said sternly.

"Yeah but you shouldn't have to. If only we had a car." Yugi stated sighing.

"But you don't and it won't be so bad. I can make the car ride fun," Yami replied with a smirk as he reach over and pinched Yugi's left thigh. The younger boy giggled a little then gave an unnatural smirk.

"So could I" He undid his seatbelt and leaned over latching on to Yami's neck sucking gently. Yami's eyes widened and he gripped the wheel tighter his knuckles turning white.

"Yugi, you and I both know I have a small amount of self control so Sit Down" Yami tried to say this as calmly as possible but it was very difficult. Pouting Yugi drew back.

"You're no fun."

"Fun, wait till I get you in an empty classroom or something. Then I'll show you fun." Yami said laughing as Yugi tried to glare.

"Hmph, and what if I don't want to wait." Yugi replied as they neared the game shop. Getting out of the car saying nothing Yami walked around and ripped open Yugi's door pulling the younger one out. Pinning Yugi to the side of the car he smashed his lips against the other. Yugi felt the wet muscle gently glide into his mouth and moaned. Their tongues performed a dance of their own as the two grinded against each other. Yami was about to go further with his look alike before a voice interrupted him.

"Yugi I think it's time to come inside now," his grandfather said with a twinkle in his eye. Pulling apart from Yami a young blush graced the boy's face.

"Um...sorry grandpa. This is Yami, I know you've seen him a dozen times and talked to him on the phone, but you never were actually acquainted" Yugi said and his grandfather sized the boy in front of him up then held out a hand.

"Pleasure to meet you formally, Yami" Yugi's grandfather said with a smile as Yami shook his hand.

"Pleasure to meet you as well," Yami replied with a small smile.

"Well Yugi, I''ll be inside packing for tomorrow's trip. I'll talk with you later on," his grandfather called out as he made his way back inside. Yugi smiled at Yami and gave him a quick but meaningful peck on the lips.

"Good night Yami, I love you" Yugi said before going inside. He faintly heard Yami say pretty much the same thing back.

(1) tenshi means angel and in a lot of stories Bakura refers to Ryou as an angel...I for one like that idea too.

Me-Sorry this was short but I wanted to get a chapter out there since it's been awhile since an update. I'll be writing the second chapter to Desert flower yet which I just started so it should be out in a few days. Please review!

Melody- I wouldn't after the long wait...

Me-Don't listen to her...I'm going to try and update this as much as I can now that I've pretty much overcome my writer's block. Ph and i was going to restore Malik and Marik's relationship but i don't want to move to fast.
