Bakura sat in the passenger seat staring out the car window. He watched the sites of domino city pass by wondering where Marik was taking them for their date. It had been a year since Marik and Ryou had brought him back from the shadow realm. Marik wanted to do something special for the occasion. Marik had refused to tell Bakura any of his plans, wanting it to be a surprise. They have for a good half hour when Bakura recognized the root they were taking.

"Isn't this the way to those hill that you took us to on our first date?" Marik let out an exasperated sigh

"We're not even out of the city yet, I had hoped that it would take you longer to figure it out."

"If I didn't think that you would kill me for it I would make fun of you for being sappy for doing this." Bakura joked

"I planned for us to go to an observatory, but those get booked our two years in advance."

"I'm surprised that you didn't try to bribe or blackmail anyone."

"Oh, I tried." Marik assured him "It didn't work, astronomy is apparently cut-throat field."

"It's going to be fun messing with all of them." Bakura took an astronomy class at Ryou and Marik's college the previous fall. Bakura had really enjoyed it and decided to get a degree in it. Bakura had night mares for weeks after Zorc was banished, but Marik and Ryou were very patient with helping him.

They finally reached their destination. A blanket already set out small lanterns sat on each of the corners, a picnic basket in the center. Bakura assumed that Ryou come up here earlier to set up. Bakura noticed that off to the side there was a large telescope. From what Bakura could tell it was a nice one and must have been expensive.

"It's no observatory but I thought this would be nice." Marik said as the got out of the car. The sun was just beginning to set. They decided to eat while they waited for it to get dark enough for them to use the telescope.

After they finished they moved over to the telescope Bakura looking thought the view finder Marik laying down resting his head on Bakura's lap. Marik smiled listening as Bakura started going on about different stars that he was looking for. He found it so cute how hyper focus Bakura got about anything he was passionate about.

Marik laid there listening playing with a strand of Bakura's hair that fell down his side. Bakura went quite as he adjusted the telescope trying to find some star that Marik couldn't remember the name of. Marik gently tugged at Bakura's hair to get his attention. Bakura gave a low hum not taking his eyes off the view finder.

"Ryou was complaining this morning that we were too loud last night."

"Did you tell him to stop blaring his music all the time?" Bakura asked. It had kind of become an ongoing joke between all of them. Complaining about the racket the other was making.

"You know he claims that it's for self-defense to protect his ears from our indecency." Bakura huffed out a laugh.

"I still can't believe that out of everything that the two of you can do you can't make a couple of rooms sound proof."

"Well I know one way to fix that problem." Marik said sitting up from his spot.

"What is that?" Bakura asked

"We could move out together." Marik shrugged not wanting to make it seem like he was nervous about how Bakura answered.

Bakura smiled "Seems cheaper than building sound proof walls."

Marik leaned forward and kissed Bakura. The two went down on the ground the stars above them completely forgotten.
