Lacking And Lusting

Yes, I have tits. And?

Duke snickered down at the T-shirt in his hands. "I actually kind of like this one." When he was done up as a girl, he made sure that he never lacked the appropriate…curves…to complete his disguise.

Tristan leaned over his lover's shoulder to read the message, and smiled. "Me, too. Yugi must really be scraping the bottom of the barrel."

Frowning slightly, Duke asked, "Yugi sent me this?" He brandished the hot pink-on-black T-shirt in question.

Tristan nodded, plopping down next to Duke on the couch. "As far as I can figure. Isis got Kaiba, Kaiba got Marik and Malik, who got Bakura–" he ticked off on his fingers.

"–who got Para and Dox," Duke cut in, nodding slowly as he folded the shirt and laid it on an end table. "I remember Ryou complaining about that."

"Oh?" Tristan raised an eyebrow in query.

Duke nodded, smirking mirthfully. "Yeah, Bakura wouldn't rest until he figured out a phrase that would insult their dual nature, and Ryou was complaining about the lack of sex."

Tristan choked. "You're kidding! Innocent little Ryou?"

"He didn't remain innocent for long once Bakura got his hands – and other body parts – on – and in – him," Duke replied archly.

Unable or unwilling to think of one of his best friends – and one of his most-feared former-enemies – in flagrante delicto, Tristan said, "Moving on… I'm guessing that it was Para and Dox who hit Mai, then?"

Duke winced. "Oh, ouch. I suppose that explains why she was so vicious to Yugi."

"He was rather nice to us, however," Tristan pointed out.

"So we should definitely do something nice for him," Duke replied, an evil grin spreading slowly across his face.

"And what do you have in mind, koi?" Tristan asked, intrigued.

"Well, Ryou wasn't the only one frustrated about a lack of lust in his life this past week. But for an entirely different reason," Duke revealed.

"And what might that be?" Tristan asked, folding his arms and leaning back against the wall. He hadn't thought Yugi ever got frustrated about…anything. Then again, he was probably as wrong about Yugi as he was about Ryou.

"Apparently Seto went a little…weird when he found out about Noah and Rebecca Hawkins–" here Duke and Tristan engaged in simultaneous shudders, "–and in order to avoid his lover, Joey kept hanging out at the Kame Game Shop."

"And subsequently bugging Yugi and keeping him and Yami from having sex in kinky places while his grandfather was out of town," Tristan guessed.

"Exactly!" Duke agreed.

"So…we hit Joey, then?" Tristan asked reluctantly. He felt vaguely uneasy about targeting Joey. The guy could be an idiot, but he was his best friend. Yugi was a good friend, too, however…

Seeing that his lover was torn between his loyalties to his two friends, Duke softened. "I'll get Joey. You pick someone else," he offered. "Deal?"

Tristan smiled, glad that his lover knew him so well. "Deal," he said thankfully.
