CALL HIM MINE

Summary: Bakura beats Ryou almost everyday, but what if the hikari seeks comfort from another will this get Bakura to finally see how much he truly loves his aibou? Or will it be too late? Malik/Ryou/Bakura--yaoi

Inspired by the song "Call Him Mine" by "Tata Young" (Actually most of Tata Young's song reminded me of Ryou...Hehehe )

Pairings: It could either be Malik/Ryou and Marik/Bakura or Bakura/Ryou and Marik/Malik please tell me which you prefer. Please read and review!

I need your votes, on which pairing you would prefer?

Chapter 7: Ego

As Marik came home late that night, he sneaked into his light's room only to find him gone. The Egyptian panicked at first but then realized the door to the guest's room was slightly ajar. He approached it and couldn't help but smile at the sight he was met with.

Both Ryou and Malik were cuddled to each other; only Ryou was comfortably resting his head on the other hikari's bare chest while Malik on the other hand had his arms protectively wrapped around the albino's thin waist. Now that he thought of it what was Ryou doing here, wasn't Bakura supposed to say his amendments to him?

Marik sighed and closed the door to the room / Marik? / Malik suddenly murmured in their mind link groggily

Yes hikari?The dark replied skeptically

/ Uh.........Good Night! / He muttered, as Marik couldn't help but chuckle. Maybe he HAD become soft, too soft even for his own liking even.

Good Night, aibouThe Egyptian replied before disappearing into the millennium scepter. He wondered if Bakura knew if Ryou was with them, maybe he'd have a little talk with the tomb robber tomorrow. He had to admit that he felt slightly jealous on seeing his hikari with Ryou. Bakura would have felt the same but maybe they deserved it as punishment.

Malik woke up at around eight only to find that Ryou was still cuddled to him "Ryou.........wake up" he murmured as Ryou only grumbled in reply "Come on sleepy head" the Egyptian pushed on as he started shaking Ryou who had turned to his side of the bed.

"Mmm........." Ryou mumbled before unconsciously chucking a pillow in Malik's face.

"I-itaai!" Malik pouted when he suddenly heard laughing from the door. He glared at the intruder only to find Marik leaning on the wall, with a pink apron and a spatula at hand.

"Ryou isn't a very early person I can see" Marik laughed as Malik smiled and approached his yami and without warning slamming a pillow in his face "Hey!!!"

"That's for laughing at me! Ohayo Yarik-kun!" Malik replied as Marik smiled at the side comment and the pet name that his light had opted to call him (Yami Marik = Yarik )

"Ohayo Malik!" Marik grinned sadistically as he pinned the other boy to the wall playfully "You should take a bath first, you smell like morning breath little one!" he teased before pecking him in the forehead

"Not as if you've taken one either!" Malik pouted

"I took one last week, and that's fine enough!" Marik countered before making his way back down to the kitchen "Can you wake Ryou up, aibou? I cooked" he mentioned proudly

/ You didn't burn the kitchen right?/"

Nooooo! Isis was with me.She told me to get my lazy ass to help in the household chores.........bitchMarik complained as Malik chuckled in reply. He only wished that Marik's cooking were atleast edible.

The Egyptian sighed as he then turned back to his albino friend who was still drowsing off with all the blankets covering his lithe body. He approached his friend and heaved another sigh. He knew that Ryou hadn't had any decent sleep for a couple of days but breakfast was also an issue. "Ryou?" Malik muttered as he planted a soft kiss in the boy's forehead before grabbing the blanket off him.

Ryou moaned in frustration as he opened an eye lazily only to see Malik grinning sadistically at him "Ohayo Ryou-chan!" he greeted as the albino sighed and sat up before rubbing his eyes blearily.

"Ohayo Malik.........yasumi" he murmured before plopping down to bed again. Malik sighed as he finally pounced on Ryou and straddled his legs. As expected Ryou's eyes widened as he glared at Malik "You're not actually light you know" he teased as Malik pouted at him "Okay! Okay! I'm awake!" He chuckled

"About time! I can see you're not much of an early person" the Egyptian grinned as Ryou blushed

"Sorry! I just have—eep" the albino muttered only to be cut off by Malik who crushed his lips with his own

"I understand Ryou!" Malik smiled "Come on, Marik prepared breakfast for us!"

"He did?" Ryou questioned, still a bit flushed

"Hard to believe huh? Well who would have expected that a once psycho-sadistic yami could actually change for the better"

Ryou forced a smile "I think the hikari is no different" he joked. Memories of Bakura still plagued him until then. Now why can't HE change like Marik did.........Oh yah it was because of his sadistical lust and his damn ego.
