Most of the group was seated in the living room a little after lunch. Yuugi and Yami were out on a nature walk. Seto had just returned from a phone call. "Mokoba, Noa will be arriving this evening." Seto smiled. "He's bring someone with him."

Mokoba was running his fingers through Honda's hair. "Oh, who?"

"Ryuji." Seto's eyes shifted between Mokoba and Marik knowing that the two use to date. "They hooked up a couple weeks ago. Said something about Mai not leaving Ryuji alone. So Nao said the two hooked up so the girl would leave him alone, things went rolling." He paused. "Now they are dating."

Marik smiled softly when he saw Seto looking from Mokoba to him. "Just because he was my first doesn't mean I want to roll with him again." He laughed. "Although he was great for the occasional fling."

Bakura looked up. "You didn't get enough from Anzu? Damn that girl never stopped."

Marik gave a mischievous grin. "Sex is like a drug to me. Once I'm addicted I cannot get enough." He paused. "Besides she couldn't give it to me up my ass like he could. Damn bitch, as much as I gave, she wouldn't even put on a strap on or do me with a dildo." He sighed. "Is that really asking to much?"

Ryou pulled his knees to his chest, his eyes locked onto the fire. He was zoning out the conversation as it scared him a little.

"You could have used the dildo yourself." Bakura suggested. "But if she was truly wanting to be your partner then no that wasn't to much to ask."

"That's just it. All she wanted from me was to get off. Didn't mater if I was finished or not." Marik sighed. "Unfortunately my wallet was something else she liked."

Marik stretched, and noticed the spaced out Ryou. He nudged him gently. "You alright?"

Ryou blinked a couple times and looked at Marik. "Yeah, fine." He smiled have hearted. "I'm going to our room." He got up and left the room before Marik could question him further.

Malik looked to Marik. "You two arguing or something? Because if you are we are going to lock you in the room next." Bakura and Malik both smirked.

"Nothing productive will happen if you did such a thing." Marik sighed, and stood up.

"What do you mean by that." Honda shifted slightly to look at Marik. "You two looked pretty cozy in the library the other day."

"We aren't dating, or sleeping together." Marik stood up. "Before you wonder, I told him he could try me out over this break." He paused. "If he liked me enough then he could have me permanently."

"Sounds like you're a car being test driven." Honda rolled his eyes. "Just don't end up like Yuugi and Yami. Or you'll have a flat that needs fixing." He smirked. "Although, fixing is half the fun."

Jou stretched, and leaned his head on Seto's shoulder. "Maybe your little discussion with Bakura scared him. He is a timid one." Seto smiled and kissed Jou's forehead.

"Maybe that is it. I guess I'll have to go fix a flat tire." Marik shot a look at Honda, and smirked. "Although I doubt fixing this flat will prove to earn me points towards a reward." He rubbed his temple and sighed.

"You never know." Honda smiled, trying to cheer Marik back up. "After all it isn't like you meant to scare him.

Marik nodded and exited.


Marik sat on the edge of Ryou's bed. Ryou was into his romance novel. "Something the mater?" Marik's voice was gentle.

Ryou dog-eared the page, and sat the book down. He shifted so he could face Marik. "Who else was before me?" His voice was serious.

Marik bit his lip a little taken back by the question. "Four." His voice wasn't prideful, or shameful. It was honest.

"Are you just easing me into this so that in the end you can turn me into a fuck buddy. Another knick in the stick?"

Marik's eyes widened, and he shook his head. "You're not another knick in the stick." He took a couple deep breaths. "If that is what I wanted I could have easily demanded more of you than I have already." He paused. "Mater of fact I haven't asked anything of you. Just given to you."

Ryou snorted. "I suppose after I left you had a good laugh about me leaving, and that I'm a virgin and that before you I've never been on a date." His eyes were set back and cold.

Marik held his temper. He'd expected something, but nothing to this extent. "I didn't say anything about you being a virgin or never being on a date. I only said that we weren't dating or sleeping together. I told them I was yours only if you wanted me. We did laugh when Honda referenced our relationship like test-driving a car. Well that and when they said they didn't want us to end up like Yuugi and Yami because they'd have to lock us up. Something about fixing a flat." He couldn't help but laugh at the recapped thought of fixing a flat.

Ryou rolled his eyes. Marik was on the verge of tears. Marik got up, and was about to go to his bed when he felt Ryou grip at his wrist. Ryou had fear in his voice. "If you cheated on Anzu, then there is a chance you'd cheat on me."

"She knew I had an occasional fuck with him." Marik retorted, and snatched his wrist from Ryou's hold. Anger now overriding his need to cry but he remained standing in front of Ryou. "When we get back to school you'll have a better chance at getting Mai now that Ryuji is dating Noa." He hissed.

Ryou put on his best smile. "You have ever right to be angry with me. I'm sorry; I'm speaking my mind because I'm scared. I've never been through half these emotions before." Ryou pulled Marik back onto his bed. Ryou could see Marik having an eternal debate with himself. "I don't want a chance with Mai anymore, because I want a chance with you."

Marik rubbed his temple he never herd Ryou mention that he wanted him. "I've been honest with you. Are you finished speaking your mind because my heart cannot take much more of this." He looked into Ryou's eyes. He got up from the bed again. "I'm going to go get myself drunk and go find some type of satisfaction I won't remember in the morning." He exited the room.

Ryou ran out into the hall, and hollered. "Marik I've Fallen In Love With You!" He dropped to his knees and cried.

Marik had reached the stairs when he heard Ryou. He spun around, and looked to Ryou who was on his knees. He walked over to Ryou, and sat on the floor. He pulled Ryou into his lap. "I Love You To."
