Chapter 15...Just Hold Me Close
Jou, finally able to leave the hospital on various meds, was leaning on Seto as he made his way to the other's limo.
"Has anyone started school again" Jou asked Seto as he was helped into the car. Once Seto was seated as well he gave a small smile.
"No. They will be tomorrow though. Marik and Bakura can't afford to miss anymore days or they'll fail." The CEO explained and that made Jou chuckle.
"Somehow I'm not surprised. But what about Ryou, Yugi, and Malik. How are they?"
"Just fine. They're actually doing a lot better than before. I think the other's changed to" He commented and Jou nodded in agreement.
"Yeah. Yugi phoned and said some kid walked into Bakura knocking him into Ryou. He was about to kick the kid's ass when Ryou put a hand on his shoulder. The next thing you know the two are up against the wall to some random store in the mall making out. They didn't stop until the security guard came either." A round of laughter filled the car including the driver in the front seat who had become accustomed to the boys. After a moment of silence Jou spoke again.
"I just hope nothing will change when we get back to school"
They pulled up at the mansion where loud music could be heard the minuted they reached the beginning of the long driveway. Lights were blaring different colors of blue, red, green, silver, and yellow. When they got to the door a big 'Welcome Back' sign was posted there.
"I'm just glad I had Mokuba sleep out this weekend." Seto mumbled and Jou gave out a small laugh.
Opening the door Seto took a step bac as the music that the thought was loud before was even louder when the opened the door. With both looking winded they stepped into the hallway shrugging off their coats and closing the door behind them.
"It's being held in the party room" Seto informed the other.
"No way" Jou said sarcastically and walked with the other in the said direction.
Opening yet another door both were surprised at the amount of people in the room. This room was huge and just fit in all of the people with some extra space. Before Jou could even step in he felt a pair of arms wrap around him in a light hug.
"Jou! I'm so glad you're okay. Yugi called us and told us what happened and I had no idea. I hope you're feeling alright now"
"Whoah. Chill Kayla, I'm just fine" Jou said wincing as the girl hugged a little tighter.
"He needs to breathe Kay, and to do that oxygen is required meaning you have to let go" Chloe said pulling the other girl away and into her arms.
"I helped get you're school work in Debate since that's the only class we have together" Kayla smiled. "Oh and let's find Malik, I know he had something I wanted to find out" With that said, she grabbed Jou's hand diving into the crowd with Chloe and Seto doing their best to follow. They made it to a white clothed table which the other's were standing around.
"Jou!"
Jou laughed as Yugi plummeted into him, his little arms enveloping the other in a hug.
"It's so nice to finally have you out. I can't get over how big this place is I mean it's Huge! I've never been to a party before well except for the other on and I mean isn't this just so cool!" All of this was said in one breath as Yugi finished with a little smile. Yami chuckled grabbing the smaller of the two by the waist then pulling him close.
"Little one I think you're a little to hyper today"
"Nah, it's cool Yami, he gets like this every once in a while and I bet he ate some fudge to" At this comment Yami raised an eyebrow at his little love.
"Was that why we had to stop at the candy store" Everybody now looked at the younger boy who was fidgeting with the sleeves of his shirt. Pitying him Ryou spoke up.
"Okay you guys let's leave Yugi alone now"
"I think it's fun watching Yugi squirm" Marik said and was bopped off the head by Malik.
"Anyways, Thanks for the party you guys" Jou said a tint of pink on his cheeks.
"Aww...don't get all sentimental on us" Bakura teased.
"It wasn't a problem at all Jou trust me" Ryou smiled and everyone started laughing.
"What's so funny"
"You two"
"Speaking of which" Kayla looked over at Malik. "What did you have to say"
"Nothing, don't worry about it" Malik said and snuggled into Marik burying his face in the crook of the other's neck. The two had become close over the short time Malik had been living with Marik and the younger boy had become somewhat dependant on the boy.
"Now we know there is something up so just tell us." Chloe gave them an appraising look.
"Malik and myself are together"
"HAHAHA! And you said me and Ryou were funny. At least we didn't take so long to get with each other" At this Marik shot Bakura a glare telling him to shut up. Giggling Yugi walked over and touched Malik gently on the arm.
"I'm happy for you" he smiled at his best friend and Ryou nodded his head with the statement.
"Thank you" Malik whispered this so softly that they couldn't hear it over the music and laughter but he knew that they understood.
"You guys will be at school tomorrow right" the young teen sweat dropped when she didn't receive an answer and noticed how they all were too caught up in the moment.
"Yes they'll be there" Seto answered.
"Well then that will be just another test of this commitment and love" she said quietly before smiling and looking up at her love.
"I think they'll be fine. Don't you Chloe"
"Yes koi, I do"
XXXXXXX
Yugi made his way to school with a small bounce in his step before pausing at where he would usually meet Malik. The teen was now living with Marik meaning he couldn't walk with Yugi to school anymore.
"There goes those days" he mumbled to himself and continued walking. Just then a sleek black car pulled up, stopping by him. The windows rolled down and Malik's head popped out, a big smirk on his face.
"You didn't think I'd make you walk alone did you"
"Not at all, I just figured you'd be running late because you forgot your homework again" a groan was heard from the boy proving that statement correct. "But since I'm the good person I am you can copy mine"
"Good person my ass" Malik said under his breath "C'mon get in"
Looking past Malik he saw Marik leaning back in his seat watching the exchange with amusement.
"Are you sure you don't mind Marik" Yugi asked timidly.
"If I did you'd know it" Marik said smirking to show off his canine-like fangs.
"Oh and that just made me want to ride with you all the more" Yugi said more to himself while getting in the back seat of the car. In a few minutes they were pulling into the school parking lot near Yami's car and Bakura's bike.
"Why didn't you bring your bike today Marik"
"No reason really just felt like bringing the car. Malik wanted to get you anyways" The older teen said jumping out of the car walking to the rest of their friends.
"Thank you" Yugi smiled then ran over to Yami tumbling right into him giving the boy a hug.
"Good morning to you as well, I called earlier to see if you needed a ride but you had already left.
"Sorry, Marik gave me a ride though so I didn't walk much" With a glance at the tan Egyptian and smiled.
"Don't go thinking I'm a patriot now" Marik smirked flipping a dagger to add to the affect.
"Put that away before you get caught. And trust me you're nowhere near a patriot" Malik said wacking the other off the back of the head.
"That's right he's a cock sucker that likes it in the ass" a voice said and heads turned to the voice that spoke.
"I bet it's better than what you get" Marik glared at Charlie holding the dagger he didn't put away.
"I'm fine without it. And how is are little suicide boy doing...pity he isn't dead yet" Charlie said smirking and glaring at Yugi who looked down obviously trying to ignore the other boy. Within a second the words came out he was pinned against the school wall, a knife being held by Yami casually resting at his throat.
"It's not a pity you will be if you don't shut the fuck up" Yami growled out before a hand touched his shoulder and he slightly turned his head to see Yugi standing there smiling.
"I'm fine Yami, his words don't hurt me anymore" With a sigh he let go of the scared boy walking off, everyone else following. Once they neared the juniors home room Yami leaned against a wall. Bakura and Marik stared at Yami for a minute, looked at each other, and then back to him and began busting out laughing.
"What the fuck is so funny" A very irritated Yami glared at the two.
"You're evil, and it's great" was all Bakura managed to get out and every time Marik tried to say something he started laughing.
"Can I get a translation for that" Yami asked dryly.
"You see, it's been so long since we've seen you go into 'Evil Yami' mode and it was great" Marik said still laughing a little.
"You have a sick sense of humor" Was there only reply to that.
"Us! What about the time when you saw your first por-" A hand was quickly clamped over Bakura's mouth. Yugi raised an eyebrow.
"You saw your first porn with two other guys, that's just sick" Seto said trying not to laugh at the tri-haired boy's predicament.
"Shut up Seto no one asked for your thoughts anyways"
"I give them for free in your case" No one noticed how all of the juniors were off to one side away form the seniors who were arguing.
"You know sometimes I wonder what I get myself into" Ryou whispered to the other boys who nodded in agreement.
"And to think I've known them longer" Jou barely whispered back.
"Yeah well we may have the rest of our lives with them" Yugi said still trying to be quiet.
"Which would be the reason I go to therapy" Malik said loud enough for half the hall to hear but just being his obnoxious self (I love malik, I do). "I'll probably get to go for free when they see why I'm insane" he said laughing making all of the teens laugh. He didn't notice Marik come up behind him and grabbing his sides. Jumping up Malik froze in fear before smiling when he looked down at the familiar Egyptian hands intertwined around his waist.
"You scared me"
"Sorry bout that" Just then the bell rang signaling for them to go to class.
A chorus of I love you and bye was heard and then they were all gone and in class.
XXXXXXX
Gym came quickly for the three teenage boys who plopped down onto the bleachers not expecting their boyfriends anytime soon.
"I can't believe Miss Rinshas was actually nice about me being gone and unprepared for class. That and Weevil almost took over my spot as the third highest ranking in school"
"Yeah that's pretty sad" Yugi said to himself but when Malik glared he laughed nervously, "I mean your so much better, haha, let's all hail Malik"
To fit with the conversation Ryou comically raised his arms in the air and bowed to the Egyptian.
"Oh might Malik what can I do to please you" he said and very loud laughter was heard behind him. Turning around he blushed seeing the seniors.
"Now Ryou, shouldn't you be praising Bakura" Seto asked amused but not about to say they heard the conversation before.
"I umm I was j-"
"Oh come off it we all know I should rule the world" Malik said making Marik grin.
"That babes, is what worries me"
"ALRIGHT PANSIES! GET IN THE LOCKER ROOM AND CHANGE OUT" Coach Sweet yelled this...right in Ryou's ear.
"I hate him I swear I don't hate many but I'm putting him at the top of your death list Bakura" He said looking at his look-alike who merely grinned wrapping an arm around the boy as they walked towards the locker room.
"You just get better and better everyday" Bakura said pecking the younger boy on the cheek. In the locker rooms things went semi-normal. Malik waited for everyone else to finish before he started to change. He sadly smiled at Marik over his back since they were the only two left in the locker room.
"Kind of revolting, no" Malik kept his voice level as he stepped a little to the side. For obvious reasons he didn't like people standing directly behind him.
"Nah, you're still the prettiest" Marik teased lightening the mood but still gazing at the scars, this was the first time he really got to get a good look at them. Malik slipped on a shirt cutting his view.
"And if you find something prettier"
"Nothingcould compete. Now let's get going" Marik grabbed Malik's hand tugging at it for him to follow the older boy out the door.
"Why the hurry"
"We're playing dodge ball because of the rain"
"It's raining? It was sunny this morning"
"Well I don't control the weather and this is the only excuse I get to terrorize legally" Laughing at that statement Malik noticed the game had already started.
"Hey Malik, go on that side" Marik said observing the game.
"Why" Marik pointed to a dark corner where Ryou and Yugi were trying to make themselves invisible, Otogi trying to block them and play, and then pointed to where Yami, Bakura, and Seto were throwing balls like wild in all directions.
"I see, Good luck then koi" Malik said sarcastically then running off in his friends direction. As he approached them he couldn't help but laugh.
"This isn't funny. I loathe dodge ball" Ryou said his voice filled with venom.
"Well then instead of making Otogi and myself do all the work why not take it out on them" he pointed at the seniors who were obviously enjoying the game. Ryou's stomach turned. How could they like playing this.
"C'mon Otogi they'll protect themselves in this or sneak off to the bleachers. Let's go kick ass" Malik said to his recently made friend who smirked in agreement. They made their way to the front before picking up two balls each and joining the others who braved the front line.
The seniors just noticing their arrival smirked and shot them a look meaning war. Malik didn't waste anytime before he threw a ball at Bakura who dodged in time for it to go by him and hit some unsuspecting kid. Otogi with a ball of his own threw it at Seto who underestimated the flamboyant boy's aim and was hit in his hip. Growling Seto stalked over to the bleachers and sat downwhen Yami started laughing at the other boy. He stopped laughing when a ball hit him in his leg. He looked up into the smirking face of Yugi, who had Ryou right beside him.
The game continued and to the juniors disappointment their side lost. After changing out they made their way to lunch.
"You made us play and we still lost" Ryou complained.
"Yeah but at least you went down fighting and you got Marik out. I couldn't even get him" Malik said noting Marik's pout.
"And I got Yami!" Yugi squealed.
"That was cruel Yugi" Yami said poking the boy in his side rejoicing in the other's giggling.
"Yami stop poking me" Yugi laughed pushing the other's hand away.
"Fine" Yami huffed as they entered the lunch room sitting down at a table that wasn't in the middle of the lunch room this time. Surprisingly they got very few whispers and the occasional glance every once in a while.
Yugi breathed a sigh of relief before looking over at the table that the seniors used to occupy.
"You guys why is Rachel sitting at the exact opposite side of the lunch room without anyone else" he asked drawing the other's attention to that side of the room.
"Who cares she's a fucking bitch" Marik commented before turning away and pulling out his wallet.
"I'll be back I need to get some food" he said before walking off.
"Don't sell them out Marik" Bakura yelled after him.
XXXXXXX
"Are you sure Yami" Yugi asked over the phone. Yami gave him a ride home from school and once Yugi's homework was done, and eating finished, he quickly called Yami.
"Yes, And I swear Yugi one more time and I'll strangle you"
"Before or after you kiss me" Yugi joked and yami gave an exasperated sigh.
"This is why you shouldn't hang out with Marik and Bakura. They're tainting your innocence." he proclaimed and Yugi giggled.
"You taint my innocence" after a moment of pause he could imagine Yami shaking his head up and down.
"Very true"
"It's getting a little late. Gramps told me not to stay on long tonight" Yugi said dejectedly.
"It's ok Yugi I'll see you tomorrow. I love you"
"I love you to. Bye Yami"
XXXXXXX
Letting out a loud moan Ryou sighed in complete and utter happiness as his release washed through him like fire.
"God Bakura that was amazing" he breathed out.
"Yeah but you sure as hell add to it" he pointed out, groping around for the pony tail on the coffee table. Yes they were once again in the living room, making Ryou wondered if one day they would ever make it to the bed. Watching Bakura tie back his hair he smiled. He knew the senior did that only around him and while he acted tough, small things like that proved he trusted the smaller boy.
"Hardly, you're burning more calories"
"I'm not even going to get into a conversation over who just burned more calories during sex" Bakura said lying on his back.
"Whatever" Ryou rolled his eyes and turned on his side snuggling into the other's warmth.
"Night kura, love you" Ryou said and Bakura bent a little kissing his head.
"I know, I love you to"
XXXXXXX
"That was pathetic! There was barely any blood" Malik said as they left the movie theater. "I risked suffering Isis' wrath by seeing a movie on a school night and this is what I get...infuriating"
"Yeah that fucking sucked. We should sue" Marik said agreeing with his 'little love' his secret pet name for Malik.
"Yes that's what we'll do! Now that it's settled can we get food on the way home"
"Sure...but Isis said I could only keep you for two hours" At this Malik purred deep in his throat before latching onto Marik's arm.
"Please...I'm hungry"
"If you turn into Jou I'm going to kill myself" Marik said shaking his head and Malik smiled.
"I won't if you buy me food this one time" he said.
"Alright Let's go" Marik felt the warmth leave his arm and looked up to see Malik walking out the Movie Theater doors.
"So much for Love"
Five minutes later...
"I love you Marik thanks for the ride" Malik said hugging the boy and allowing a peck on the lips. "And the food"
"No problem, love you to. I'll be here tomorrow morning, so be up this time." Marik said startng to drive off.
"Yeah right that's what I should be telling you" Malik screamed into the night and Marik smirked looking in the rear view mirror at his boyfriend.
XXXXXXX
Me- That's it...I'm done cries
Melody- That wasn't to bad and had very little angst.
Me- Exactly which is where I explain a few things. There will be a sequel. I'll try to get it started soon but I already have the ideas for it. You'll have to have read this story to get it of course so I hope you all will check it out. This may have a little more Malik because I tend to put in more of him but I will try and keep it even between couples...I'll give you a preview...now it might not be this way in the next chapter but it will be similar.
Preview:
"Malik! I can't believe you are bringing her into this house! I won't have it" Ryou fumed glaring at his friend.
"I agree I don't want her here. Get her out" Bakura glared through the wall of the kitchen at the person on the other side.
"I know you all hate her believe me I do, but listen, Rachel's been through a lot of shit and I need you to sit down and hear me out"
End Preview
Another thing..I know Malik seemed a little clingy and open to Marik but let me state one thing. It's a proven fact that most people sexually abused or raped are more sexually active then a person who wasn't.Also the person that they find the most comfort from is likea protector.I know, because sadly I was once a victim. So I really don't need to hear any complaints about that please.
And Last but most definitely not least I need to thank all of my reviewers. You guys are so awesome and I never would have been able to finish this without you. I hope you'll all be there for the sequel but I'm super glad you were hear for this.!
Melody- Shut up already we've heard enough from you
Me-And Melody wants you to know she'll be missing you all
Melody- Stay out of my thoughts you idiot
Me- Whoops...Anyways, R&R
