Ryou's POV:

"Yes sir, nine pm on Sunday. I won't be late, sir."

I looked up at my uncle, I had everything packed and ready before they even got home, to say I was anxious to leave would have been an understatement! But right now we were going over the rules, behave, study hard, listen to Yugi's grandfather, be tidy and for heavens sake don't do anything to embarrass him! Of course his version was not nearly that short or nice, I had the worst time holding back several sighs or rolling my eyes. I mean, its not like I haven't been in public before, or stayed over at other's people houses. I know I hadn't since living with him but that is because of their rules, not my choice or lack of experience. I stole another glance at the clock, counting down the last two minutes until Malik was supposed to be here and saying a silent prayer to the gods that he wouldn't be late.

That was when I heard a motorcycle pull into our driveway, sounding a bit to fast and if I wanted to bet I would say he left some rubber, I took advantage of the fact my uncle was now looking worriedly at the door, instead of at me, to allow a smirk to come to my face. Sure enough there was a very loud and fast knocking, my aunt coming out of the kitchen to answer it, only to make a startled sound, something sounding like a choked half gasp, half scream.

"RYOUUUUUUU-CHAN! Where arrrrre youuuuuuuuu?"

I chuckled at my uncle's horrified look when he heard the very loud, sing-song voice calling for me.

"I'm in here Malik."

"RYOU-CHAN!" I almost fell as I suddenly had a very happy Malik now glomped onto my back, my uncle still had not gotten over his stunned expression.

"Uncle, I would like you to meet my friend, Malik."

Malik finally unwrapped his legs from my waist and dropped off my back to stand up straight beside me, one of his room brightening smiles gracing his face. The smile though seemed to be lost on my uncle as he composed himself and glared at Malik, I was actually ready to hit him though it seemed Malik wasn't going to allow him to ruin his everlasting good mood.

"Hello Uncle of Ryou-chan! It's very nice to meet you!"

"Why are you adding the 'chan" to Ryou's name, isn't that for girls?"

You know, Malik didn't even hesitate, I doubt it crossed his mind even to tread carefully here.

"Oh no! Chan is a sign of affection! Usually used to show someone or something is cute! And isn't Ryou just too adorable!"

"I would not think most young men would take kindly to being called adorable. Ryou, perhaps we need to have another conversation about cutting your hair?"

Oh shit! This was not good, he has been hell bent on me cutting my hair since I started living with them.

"What! Ryou-chan can't cut his hair! It's too beautiful!"

Wow, my uncle does not handle being contradicted well, I don't think he is actually breathing now, judging from the color of his face.

"Yes sir! We can discuss it again, but hopefully when I return?"

Please, please, please.

"Oh yes! Yugi-chan is waiting for us! His grandpa is waiting until we get there to order pizza."

I looked pleadingly at my uncle.

"Sir? I really hate to leave him waiting."

He looked Malik over once more, not even trying to hide his distaste or reluctance.

"Fine, you may go but do not be late and do not think this conversation is over."

"Yes sir."

Malik giggled and grabbed my hand, dragging me out the door as he chattered happily.

"I brought my spare helmet for you! Your uncle looks like a very unhappy person, he should smile more! Come on before we're late!"

I could hear my Uncle opening the front door again and as I climbed on behind Malik I looked over to see both of them coming out of the house. Shit, I forgot how much they hate motorcycles! I pulled my helmet on quickly before wrapping my arms around Malik.

"Time to move cutie. And quick."

Malik didn't even look back.. just gunned it as he spun the back wheel to turn us around, taking off down the driveway.

Bakura's POV:

I hate those bells, the little one over shop doors that announce your presence. Never could stand the annoying things.

I looked around the game shop while an old man that undoubtedly had to be related to Yugi rang someone up. Lots of cards, board games, just about everything. I stopped to look through some puzzles.

"Like puzzles do you, young man?"

I looked down at the old man smiling brightly at me.

"Only if it's a challenge."

"We have a few I'm sure you would find quite challenging, shall I show you?"

"Another day, I'm just here to get Yugi."

"Oh! He told me you were coming, Ryou's boyfriend, Bakura. Am I correct?" I nodded. "So then Ryou is spending the weekend with you? That is wonderful, I was really worried about that boy, what with the way his uncle is and everything, he needs to get away and have fun. So then Yugi is staying the night at Yami's, before they come to help in the shop Saturday. That is our busiest day."

Does this old man breathe! Wait, did he just say Yami is helping in the shop!

"Yami is helping!"

He noted the shocked look on my face, while Yami would do or buy anything for people he is in a relationship with he tended to avoid family things, not sure how to act around them.

"Oh yes, very nice boy! Met him yesterday, he really is good with games and even helped some kids refine their decks. He and Yugi are supposed to come over after the cleaning crew is done at his place, then stay the night to help on Sunday as well. I know I'm getting old, getting hard to keep up with the shop so I won't turn down offered help!" He chuckled at his own little joke, I guess that is what he figured it was. "I'm very glad he and Yugi got together, they make such a nice couple, don't you think?"

"Umm, yeah, they do. We're all glad they got together finally too."

"Finally? Yugi hadn't mentioned him before, but that could have possibly been because of Honda. Too bad that boy has such narrow views on the world. So has something been going on between Yugi and Yami for awhile?"

I blinked a couple times, realizing that one had ended with a question, and couldn't help wondering if Yugi's dad had been the same way, some family trait of hyper or something.

"No, Yami was going nuts trying to find a way to get an introduction to Yugi and too scared he would be turned down to just come out and say something."

"Until Ryou." He had the biggest grin, crazy old guy, definitely crazy. "Yugi told me all about it, how Ryou introduced them during class and the sugar." He chuckled again as if trying to contain more laughter. "And the sugar! Oh did he have his hands full during that! But from what I hear he was rewarded well."

He winked at me and I couldn't helping wondering exactly how much Yugi tells his grandpa and if Yami knows?

"Grandpa! Have you seen my swim trunks!"

We both turned towards the back stairs where Yugi's voice had come from.

"Laundry room, though I bet Yami would prefer it if you forgot them."

"GRANDPA!"

It was quiet again as his grandfather winked at me and I couldn't help smirking back, then we heard Yugi coming downstairs, talking as he did so.

"Grandpa, I seriously doubt Yami would want me running around skinny dipping in front of all those people." He looked up and saw my smirk finally, causing him to turn an impressive shade of red. "Bakura, I umm, hadn't realized you were… here."

I chuckled before ruffling his hair.

"Don't worry about it, and yeah, Yami would be walking around decking anyone that looked at you, best not to start that. Ready to go? Malik should have picked up Ryou by now."

"I wonder how his uncle took to meeting Malik?"

Yugi's grandpa actually did laugh this time, before wiping away a few tears.

"Well from what you have told me about Malik, I'm sure shocked wouldn't even begin to describe it! I really would like to meet him one of these days."

"I'm sure Malik would just adore you, you two would get along almost too well. Hate to cut it short but we should get going, ready Yugi?"

"Yeah." He gave me this huge grin before hugging his grandfather. "Yami and I will see you tomorrow, we'll be over as soon as we can."

"Oh don't be in too much of a hurry, I'm sure Yami will want to spend some alone time with you, that and I don't want you limping about here too much."

I lost it laughing as Yugi again turned red.

"Grandpa!"

"Go, go! Have fun!"

He gave Yugi a light push towards the door and I followed right behind, still chuckling as I climbed into my car.

"I am so sorry about grandpa, he can be so embarrassing!"

"Don't worry about it, I think I understand you a bit better now."

I smirked at his confused look before pulling out into traffic and heading to my place.

It didn't take long to get back to my place, Yugi was so damned excited he could hardly sit still. I pulled into the garage and didn't even have it shifted to park before he was out of the car, bag in hand.

"Ryou!"

"Yugi-chan!"

Oh boy, and yes a blond blur suddenly scooped Yugi up and into a hug, murmuring terms of endearments.

"Hello Malik."

At least Yugi was giggling and smiling, which actually only served to spur Malik on.

"Ryou-chan is changing in Kura-chan's room! What did you bring to wear! Can I do your makeup?"

"M-makeup?"

"Yes! Oh you would look so great with a bit of eyeliner, I have waterproof so don't worry about swimming, and the perfect shade of shadow that will make the beautiful color of your eyes show even more, then we can put some glitter in your hair and maybe Marik will give you a henna tattoo!"

"Okay Malik, slow down and breathe before you pass out. Come on Yugi, lets get ready and Malik is great with make-up." Ryou gestured to his own face. "See, he did mine."

"Okay."

Yugi giggled again as the three bishies disappeared into my room. I walked into the living room and dropped onto the couch next to Marik.

"How long have they been back?"

"About twenty minutes. And the first thing I am doing is getting two beers into Malik and pray it calms him down somewhat!"

I chuckled, Marik and I had changed our clothes earlier and called it good, though we could hear the laughter and Malik fussing over Yugi's choice in clothes. Malik loved any excuse to get dressed up, I swear he would dress up for a dollar store opening!

"Hey Kura, want a tribal?"

I looked over at Marik, he had his henna out, lining up the bags by the different colors.

"When did you mix those?"

"This morning before school. I think we should do a tribal band on your arm, maybe put in a dragon."

He winked as I smirked and held my arm out, glad I was already wearing a muscle shirt.

"Marking me as Ryou's or something?"

"You complaining?"

I chuckled and he set to work, like I really had anything to complain about! We could hear the laughter coming from my room and knew better than to even go near it, though it did sound as though Malik and Ryou were making a few changes to Yugi's choice of clothes for the night. The kid didn't look bad, leather pants and a long sleeve purple shirt, so I had to wonder what they were up to. Marik had just finished spraying the second coat of spray gel to seal my 'tattoo' when they emerged. Both our jaws dropped. Hot didn't even start to describe the site before us.

Yugi was standing there in the same black leather pants he had on before but now had a very low cut and see-through magenta colored mesh shirt on. I looked closer at his chest and my jaw dropped.

"Did you two pierce his nipple!"

All three lost it giggling before Ryou spoke.

"Looks real, doesn't it! It's just a clip on though."

My eyes moved to Malik as the white leather pants hugged every curve so tightly I wondered briefly how he could even move, but then topping it off was a second skin purple lycra top that had circles of varying sizes cut out and replaced with white sheer, starting small at his right shoulder and spreading out as they moved down to the left side of his waist. The neck was very low cut and the half sleeves were the same white sheer as the circles.

Ryou was a vision though, I knew no other way to describe it. It was definitely going to take a lot of will power to even let him get out of the house without ravishing him. He was in a pair of brown suede pants, the color complimenting him without overpowering the rest of his outfit, his shirt was a one sleeve number, though I use the term shirt very liberally. Majority of it was a teal and red dragon made from silk that wrapped about his body, the only other material was a very light flesh tone mesh, and only enough of that to keep the dragon on and in place. More skin showed that actual shirt but the overall effect was breathtaking. The dragon's head sat just over his heart, it went up over his left shoulder only to wrap around his right side and made one more circle around his body, it's tail making a small loop around his belly button.

Malik had obviously done all their make-up since it was stunning, not over done but perfect. Their eyes stood out, each color vibrant and accentuated by the color of eye shadow chosen, lined delicately and lashes darkened. It looked as if he had used some henna lip stain to brighten their lips just enough to stand out but not look unnatural, and covered that with some gloss.

Marik spoke first, if you cared to call it speaking.

"You look… all… look… wow."

Malik giggled before climbing onto Marik's lap.

"My wittle Marik-chan likes?"

"Your wittle Marik-chan loves." He backed this statement up by thrusting his hips up, into Malik's, which garnered another giggle.

"Is the henna ready?"

"Hmmm?"

"For the tattoos?"

"Oh…OH! Yeah, Kura already has his."

Ryou, by this point had come over and was running a very delicate finger over Marik's work, sending shivers through my body.

"Okay, then start with Yugi-chan!"

Malik moved off of Marik's lap and pulled Yugi over to sit on the stool in front of Marik.

"Any requests?"

"I really wouldn't know what to ask for."

Yugi blushed as Marik's eyes moved over his body a couple times before deciding.

"Okay, Malik, hold the collar to his shirt out a bit, I don't want to get this on it. Malik immediately hopped to it, carefully pulling Yugi's shirt aside to reveal more of his chest as Marik set to work. It didn't take long, five minutes tops and Marik was done. From up close it looked like just a tribal design, but once you stepped away you could see it actually spelled something.

"Yami!"

Yugi looked at Ryou in surprise.

"What?"

"That is what Marik wrote on your chest, but you can't see it unless you stand back."

"Oh!" Yugi blushed yet again, I wondered if his cheeks were going to ever be a normal tint tonight. "Thank you, Marik."

"Not a problem."

Marik then used a small hair dryer, made sure it was completely dry before giving it two coats of spray gel as well. Yugi looked at his chest curiously before raising a finger to poke at it, only to have Malik slap it away before he could actually make contact.

"What is with the hair gel?"

"It's simple Yugi-chan, it seals the henna in. You have to make sure it is sealed for about two hours for it to dye the skin properly."

Yugi nodded in understanding before he got up and moved out of the way, his now being finished. Malik quickly took his place, having Ryou hold his shirt out of the way as he winked at Marik. Finishing writing his name, Marik then went on to do a tribal sun around his belly button and a tribal/flaming butterfly on his lower back. Just as Ryou was sitting down I figured I should go, find our swimsuits and run a brush through my hair.

It ended up taking longer than I thought and by the time I returned Ryou had my name in tribal just under his collar bone, but was blushing an all new shade of red. I wondered briefly what was going on but one look at the other's told me I wasn't going to find out.

"Are we ready to go?"

Marik was just finishing up some tribal designs going down his left arm.

"Yeah, just let me get this stuff put away."

Malik used the hair dryer to dry the hemp faster and sprayed it while I helped Marik clean up. Everything put away, we grabbed jackets and headed for the door, I took Yugi's bag, carrying it to Yami's house for him since he wouldn't be coming back with us.

That is it for now, hope you enjoyed. The party will most likely take up several more chapters so please don't forget to R&R!
