Love's Trials Chapter 11: Summer Solstice and a Birthday, a yu-gi-oh fanfic

Summer Solstice and a Birthday

Sorry it's so late I haven't been able to upload it yet but since I now have a comp at home I'll be able to post sooner...I hope.

Disclaimer: I do not nor will I ever own Yu-gi-oh. Dedicated to Tiff and Liz.

Yugi was up early and had made coffee for everyone when there was a knock at the door. When Yugi opened it there was a cop standing there.

"Hello. Is a Mr. Marik Ishtar or a Mr. Malik Ishtar home?"

"Umm, yeah. Hold on. Oh, please, come in." Yugi went and woke everyone up.

"Hi. What can I do for you?" Malik asked the cop.

"Well we found a couple naked by a lake on your property and came to ask if you wanted to press charges for trespassing."

"Let's see them." The cop waved for three more cops to bring in the couple. Ryou was escorted in by a cop then Bakura came in with two other cops holding him. He was all bruised and cut up.

"Holy shit! What happened?" Marik went over to Bakura checking to see if he was alright.

"I resisted the cops and got in a fight."

"He sent three of our guys to the hospital!" Bakura snarled and lunged at the cop but Marik grabbed him.

"They deserved it!"

"Bakura!" Malik yelled at him. "No, we won't press charges, they had permission to be at the lake, but thank you, officers."

"Now unhand cuff both of them and get out!" Marik yelled.

"Marik, please! I'm sorry sir Marik really doesn't like the police very much."

"That's ok. We know Marik isn't too fond of us; we've had a few run-ins with him before. It doesn't surprise me that him and this hellhound wild teen are friends. Well if that's all then we'll be going." They unhand cuffed Ryou and Bakura then as they were leaving one of the cops pinched Marik's ass. Malik's face went completely red and tried to attack the cop but the guy turned and grabbed his throat.

"I wouldn't attack an officer if I were you."

"He has a damn right to Mitch! He's my boyfriend. Now let him go. Malik come here." Mitch let him go and Malik growled at him as he went and put his arms around Marik, claiming him. "Now now, Malik, play nice."

"He pinched your ass Marik! Only I'm allowed to do that, or for that matter anything else." Mitch raised an eyebrow.

"Oh? Like what?"

"Like handcuffing him to the bed naked, chaining him to the wall, pouring wax on him, using a whip on him, fucking him senseless then making him beg for more-" Marik covered his mouth a moment to late.

"Things like that Mitch." Mitch raised his eyebrows

"He makes you beg!" Malik smiled at the surprised look on his face.

"What couldn't do that?"

"No he couldn't, Malik. You're the first to be able to do it."

"Not even Bakura and Yami!" Malik had heard how good the two Egyptians were from Yugi and Ryou. It surprised him that they hadn't ever made Marik beg. Well, they probably wanted it as much as he did or more, so he probably never had to beg. Malik just held out on Marik to get him to beg. He guessed no one could resist Marik's sexy body and charm.

"No, not even them. Though I've never been able to make them beg. But I've heard that Yugi has been able to get Yami to beg, which is really unbelievable, but I'm not sure if Ryou has gotten Bakura to beg."

"Yes, he has." Yami raised his eyebrows.

"Really? Wow, you go Ryou." Ryou smiled and blushed slightly.

"Well it was nice seeing you again, Marik. It's good to know you're here. I might stop by and give an 'official' welcome back to the island." Malik stepped between them and growled again.

"I don't think that would be the best idea, Mitch. Malik is very protective-"

""More like possessive." Mitch cut in. Marik smacked Malik's ass hard making him yelp.

"I know, isn't it great?"

"You like it?"

"Yeah. Shows that he really loves me." Another cop came in.

"Mitch the others have left, are we going to leave so-oh. Hi, Marik."

"Hey Zach."

"Hmm, maybe we should stay and 'welcome' him back." Malik's eyes narrowed and he growled "no" to the officers. "Who's your new pet?"

"My name's Malik and really am getting tired of this. Marik how many guys did you bed here?" Malik's face was red and made him all that more scary.

"Just half the police force, some people at the supermarket, a few at city hall, the mayor and his secretary, surfers at the beach, and a lot of tourists; but none meant as much to me as you do. I love you Malik." Marik kissed Malik, he was reluctant at first but soon gave in to Marik's tongue.

"Damn you. You're too good for me to stay pissed at you." Marik gave an evil grin.

"I know." The cops came over to Marik with their hands up showing no harm to Malik.

"We got to go. It was nice seeing you again, Marik." Zach gave Marik a hug and pinched him making Malik mad.

"Yeah we'll have to come and catch up and see what you've been up to." Mitch gave Marik a hug and with a purely demonic smirk smacked Marik's ass and kissed him. Then left. Malik ran to the door after them.

"Salauds! He's mine! Stay the hell away from him!" Then he slammed the door and stormed off to his and Marik's room locking it behind him. Marik went to the door.

"Malik? Malik open the door!"

"No!"

"Why not?"

"If you don't know then I'm not telling you! Go away!" Marik gave in.

"Fine." He went and sat down. Yami turned to Bakura.

"You have a fun night, huh?" Bakura grinned.

"Oh yeah. Ryou's unbelievable! Have you ever had Yugi lick chocolate mousse off you?"

"No but he did get brave and licked pudding off me." Ryou and Yugi turned red.

"Let's go talk to Malik." Both got up and went to the tanned Egyptians' room. "Malik? It's me and Ryou. May we come in?"

"Is Marik out there?"

"He's talking on the couch." Malik unlocked the door and let his friends in before locking the door again.

"What's wrong, Malik?" Ryou asked as he sat down on the bed. Yugi went and joined him on the bed.

"Marik let those guys touch him as if I wasn't there. He didn't even ask them to stop; he just let them grab him and everything. And when they suggested about 'welcoming' him back, he just smiled. It was like I didn't exist to Marik, and it hurt." Malik felt the tears well up again. He was crying before his friends came in. Malik hadn't cried in front of anyone in a long time but he didn't know if he could hold it back. "It made me wonder how Marik really feels about me." Malik sat between his life-long friends and let the tears fall. They, if anyone, would understand his pain and heart ache. Yugi and Ryou cradled their crying friend.

"Don't worry, Malik. Tonight's the summer solstice and we all got one wish."

"But he gets two. Remember Ryou tomorrow's his birthday."

"Oh yeah. I forgot tomorrow's my birthday." Malik wiped his eyes. "I hope Marik remembers." There was a knock at the door. It was Joey.

"Hey you guys coming out or what? It's time for the summer solstice."

"Alright. We're coming out." Ryou told Joey. Yugi got up and helped Malik to his feet. Ryou unlocked the door and the three went outside.

"Hey my lover has come out! You still mad at me?" Marik came up.

"Do you know why I was mad at you in the first place?"

"No..."

"Then yes." Malik walked right by Marik over to Joey and Mai.

"Hey where is Minoko and Julien?"

"Oh, they went to a hotel in town."

/Good./

))You're telling me.((

/I love you Bakura./ Ryou went over and kissed Bakura.

))I love you too.(( He didn't let go of Ryou.

((Come on Yugi we better get the dance started, Malik doesn't seem happy with Marik and Marik isn't taking it too well.))

(Yeah, I know why. I'll tell you why later.)

((Is it depressing?))

(Not all that much but it'll get you out of the mood.)

((Then tell me after I have you then because I really, really want to.))

(Ok.)

"Let's get started." Yugi led them in the summer solstice dance then one at a time stepped into the middle of the circle and silently made a wish to the stars. Marik tried to read Malik's mind but it was locked to him. After that they all went inside. Ryou pulled Marik aside.

"Do know why Malik's mad at you?"

"No. But I would love to know so I can fix it."

"Because you let those cops both touch you and talk about 'welcoming' you back and all you did was smile. You didn't say anything; it made Malik wonder how you really felt about him if you let other guys talk about fucking you and just smile as if you wanted them to."

"What! No that's not it at all. Mitch and Zach talk about screwing me all the time, it's like breathing to them. When they hugged me and pinched and smacked my ass I whispered to them that Malik will kill them if they tried anything and if he didn't I would. I'm his Ryou, my love for him will never wavier."

Well how are you going to prove that to him?"

"I'll think of something I wonder if I could show him through a birthday gift?"

"You remembered his birthday?"

"Why wouldn't I? It's one of the few dates I do remember. Well I'm gonna go to bed. 'night." Marik went into his room.

"'Night. Ahh! Huh?" Bakura had grabbed him and pulled him into their room.

"Nice to have you in my arms again."

"Not tonight Bakura." Ryou went and laid down on their bed.

"What? Why not?" Bakura laid down next to him.

"I'm just worried about Marik and Malik."

"Hey, what's up with those two, anyway."

"The was Marik reacted with those cops today made Malik wonder how he really feels."

"Ouch, glad that didn't happen to us."

"Yeah, it did, but we got through it. I know they can too."

"I sure hope so. They need each other. Goodnight Ryou." Ryou curled up in Bakura's arms and went to sleep.

"Wow. That's the best yet. Damn I've never seen you do that before."

"I know. I know I surprised myself." Yami was recuperating from Yugi's domination of him. The smaller had only taken him on once.

"It was good, really good, but he never tried since. It kind of disappointed Yami but this time...wow.

"Yugi, are you afraid to take me?" Yugi looked at him.

"What?"

"Are you afraid to take me?" Yugi looked away. "Yugi?"

"I'm scared that I won't live up to your expectations and that...you'll...leave me..." Yami sat up.

"Why would I leave you?"

"Because I wasn't good enough in bed for you."

"Yugi I would never leave you, even if you were bad in bed. I don't care, I love you because of who you are not because you're good in bed or not. Does it really bother you that much?"

"Yeah it does and what do you mean if I was bad in bed?"

"You, Yugi Motou, are surprisingly good in bed for only dominating someone twice in your whole life."

"Seriously?" Yugi sat up and looked at Yami.

"Seriously. Now what about Marik and Malik?" Yugi told Yami why Malik was a little uneasy with Marik.

"Man, I thought it might have had something to do with those cops, but-do you think they'll be ok?"

"I hope so, tomorrow is Malik's birthday."

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Do you think Marik remembered?"

"I don't know, I wonder what he'll wish for."

"Hmm speaking of wishes," Yami pulled Yugi back down onto the bed. "What did you wish for today?"

"That I would please you, tonight."

"Well that's been proved. Me? I wished for us to stay together, forever. That when our time's up for us to be put in the puzzle and be together."

"Yami, that's so sweet. I know that's going to be true."

"How do you know that?"

"I know that because I love you and you love me, and that alone will last forever."

"You're a hopeless romantic, Yugi, a hopeless romantic." Yugi smiled as he curled up next to his yami.

"Malik? Malik?" Marik laid down next to Malik.

"What Marik?"

"I'm sorry." Malik and huffed and faced him.

"No you're not. I know you Marik, you've never been one to say sorry, never."

"Well I am now, Malik, please just-"

"forgive you? No, I'm not ready to forgive you. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to sleep." Malik turned away from his lover. Marik came up with a way to prove to Malik how much he cared but he'd to wait until tomorrow.

"Goodnight, Malik."

Next Day

"Malik I'm sorry we can't stay longer but we'll take you out when you guys get back." Joey was standing in the door with his and Mai's stuff ready to leave.

"Yeah we're really sorry about this."

"I understand, Sophia needs you two. Go, I understand." Malik hugged his friends. "See ya." He was depressed that Marik wasn't there, he'd left the morning, said he had something to do. "I guess he didn't remember."

"Hey Malik get your butt out here its time for you to blow out the birthday candles!" Bakura called from outside. Malik went outside to his friends.

"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Malik, Happy Birthday to you!"

"Make a wish and blow out your candles." Malik looked back into the house and his smile disappeared.

"I'm sorry Marik isn't here Malik."

"It's ok. At least Minoko and Julian went home…to his house and now I'm surrounded by those I know love me." Marik walked in with a couple of good-looking teens and saw Malik. He tapped into Malik's mind and heard what his wish was.

Please, let Marik love me, please.

"I do all ready, you'll see. Come on you two." Marik showed the two guys into his room.

"Open presents!"

"Yeah, Malik, open your presents!" Ryou handed his the present from Bakura.

"Ok." It was a boneing knife.

"Bakura why did you give him that?" Yugi asked.

"Because he might need it."

"Here's the present from Joey and Mai." Malik opened it.

"It's a few really rare dueling cards!"

"Wow! You should see these!" Bakura was impressed.

"Open ours!" Yugi handed Malik the last present. The one from him and Yami.

"They're Egyptian alters! One to Osiris and one to Horus!"

"That's not all."

"Oh and some jewelry with a jewelry box. Hey it has a the eye of Horus on it!" Malik was thrilled with his new stuff. When he opened the jewelry box he found a secret compartment that would hold his new knife perfectly. "Thanks guys, these are great."

"Well that's all the presents."

"Where's Marik's present?"

"There wasn't one, Malik." Ryou informed him.

"No, there's one, it's just not here. Do you want it Malik?" Marik was standing in the doorway.

"Marik? You remembered my birthday?"

"Why wouldn't I?"

"Well, you left this morning." Malik got up and followed Marik inside.

"Come here. Bring your new weapon with you." Malik grabbed his knife and everyone went to Marik and Malik's room. "Sorry guys. This is just for him." Marik pulled Malik into their room and closed the door.

"Hey who's this Marik?" One of the guys asked.

"Yeah who's the hottie?"

"This is my lover, Malik."

"Who are they?"

"This is Randy." Marik pointed to the blond. "And this is Andrew." He pointed to the black-haired boy.

"Ok. Why are they here?"

"They were two of my consorts."

"You've dated and fucked them?" Malik couldn't believe he was doing this.

"Yeah at the same time. They're two of my favorites."

"Marik if this is some kind of joke I'm-Marik!" Marik kisses Randy then smiled and stabbed him, killing him.

"What the fuck! Marik!" Andrew jumped up but Marik kicked him down on the floor and put the knife to his throat.

"Do you want me to kill him? Just say the word and I will." Malik stared at the body of the cute blond. He was one of Marik's favorites and he killed him without a second glance. Would he just as soon kill him?

"Marik?"

"Yes or no?"

"Why are you doing this?"

"To prove my love for you."

"How by killing those you slept with? How long will it be until I'm the one on the floor dead?"

"Never! Malik do you see me killing Yami or Bakura? No, because I love them. But my love for them can't compare to my love for you. I would kill them for you, Malik. Ok?"

"But why are you killing old boyfriends?"

"Because of how upset you got over Mitch and Zach doing that stuff."

"Well all you did was smile!" Malik fumed.

"What they did is as normal to them as breathing! But if I killed all my consorts-"

"The population of men would decrease 1/3 world wide." Andrew cut in. Marik looked at him threateningly.

"-you might feel a little more at ease with being with me."

"Thanks, but I just want you not to let anymore old lovers touch you like those cops did!"

"You got it, but for the record I told them not to do that again or you'll kill them and if you didn't I would. So we ok?" Malik smiled.

"Yeah we're ok." Marik sent Randy's body to the Shadow Realm and opened the door for Andrew.

"See ya, Andy." Andrew walked to the door.

"Yeah, see ya." He smacked Malik's ass on the way out.

"Hey!" Malik squeaked.

"What? You said not to touch Marik, you never said anything about you."

"Andrew?"

"Yes?"

"Don't touch Malik, or I'll torture and kill you."

"Got it." Andy left the house. Marik closed their bedroom door again.

"Now may I give you your birthday gift?"

"That wasn't it?"

"Nope. This is it." He pulled out a large box. "Open it." Malik opened it and laughed.

"It's a whip."

"Yep. Remember how you always wanted to use one on me?" Malik nodded. Marik locked the door and took off his shirt.

"Well now you get to. Pleasure me with pain Malik, please." Malik grinned.

"Really? I can!"

"Yes. This is my gift to you. It's not much but-"

"This is my best gift." Malik lashed his whip at Marik leaving a gash on his chest. He moaned. Malik continued his assault until Marik was sporting several gashes. Malik came over to him and kissed him. "Thank you. For everything."

"Anytime. I'd do anything for you, Malik, anything." They crawled in bed and made love making Marik eat his words by letting Malik dominate him. The perfect way to end an eventful day.

There you go. I decided to end this at chapter 16. If you think I should write a sequel tell me. Next chapter: tragedy strikes. How will they deal?
