It had been two months since the newest inmates had been relocated here. Each was trying their best to get used to their new living arrangements.
Early one morning, Marik took the tea to Ryou for breakfast. "Here you go." He said gently, unlocking the cell and going in.
"T-Thanks," he shed a small smile, appreciating the kind gesture.
Pulling out a prewrapped blueberry muffin, he offered it to the whitette.
Smiling fondly, he accepted the offering. He hoped that he wouldn't get Marik in trouble for him doing this.
Marik smiled back. Blushing, he whispered. "I thought you liked blueberries."
"Yep, I-I do," he munched on it, glad to have something to get his energy back.
"Good. Well, see you later, Ry." Marik walked out.
"Bye," Ryou watched him leave, looking down as he sighed, finishing off his makeshift breakfast before going back to the bunk.
\/\/\/
Yami walked up to Yugi. "Gotta get you back before Marik gets in trouble." Yami whispered.
"Ok," Yugi got up, figuring it's time to go back in.
Leading Yugi back in to the cell, Yami opened it.
Going inside, he went to the bunk, noticing Ryou is still there. He hoped that he would be ok.
Locking the door, Yami went back to the control room. Looking over his orders, he sighed. Getting up he went to fetch Bakura. Following Yami, Bakura went with him. Being deposited at the Warden's office, he frowned but waited.
"Yes, come in," Zorc said, having taken notice of who it would be. "What can I do for you?"
Bakura frowned. "The guard brought me up here because I wanted to find out what I could do to get Ryou Bakura into general population, rooming with me." he said.
"That's cute," the warden couldn't help to be amused by this request. "It takes a long fucking time for that to happen, cupcake. If you're hoping for that then you have to earn it."
"How do I earn it?" Bakura asked, staring at the warden.
"I'm glad you asked," smirked Zorc, a glint in his ruby coals. "The best way is to be my bitch for a few weeks. If you perform well then you'll be greatly rewarded. If you fail then...I'm sure you don't want to know what would happen next."
Bakura's jaw tightened, but he nodded. "What do you want me to do?" he asked, accepting the terms.
"Hmm, didn't think it would be that easy, but good," nodded Zorc, still thoroughly amused by this. "You'll start tomorrow. Yami, make sure he's here after he's been fed. If this goes well then you might get that promotion you've wanted."
Yami nodded, taking Bakura back with him. As Yami put Bakura back in his cell, his crimson eyes were worried. "Be careful," is all Yami said as Bakura grunted, going in and sitting down across from Malik.
"How'd it go?" Malik asked, knowing he'd need to tell the fluffer his story of how Marik messed up while behind the bars in their cell.
Shrugging, Bakura sighed. "I'm his bitch. But I'll get the chance for Ry to be under my protection...and I won't mess up this time." Bakura picked at his pants.
"That's good," nodded the blonde, hoping he would be ok.
"So, what the fuck were you talking about with Marik?" Bakura eyed the psycho.
"Uh, well...during the time we weren't together Marik went off to go pursue his dreams. That left me behind to deal with our dad who's incredibly abusive," replied Malik. "He had enough. I don't blame him for leaving, but it also caused damage."
Bakura frowned. Standing, he walked over, pulling Malik into a hug. "I'm sorry, Psycho. Do you want to talk about what happened?"
Leaning against him, he inhaled before releasing a breath, "The details aren't pretty, Fluffy."
Bakura led him to the bunk, holding him. "Maybe you need to tell them, Psycho." It was the first time Bakura hadn't went ape shit crazy when someone called him Fluffy.
"If you want to know ok... When Marik had been around things are tolerable. When he left things went bat shit crazy. Our sisters had left in fear of him. Sometimes he used his pet snake to inject venom or used his whip if I disobeyed. Other times I'd just be locked in my room sometimes for the stupidest reasons. We all thought dad's not right in the head...and they called me crazy..."
"Shhhh..." Bakura held him, smoothing his hair. "He's not going to get you now, Mal...okay?" Rage boiled inside Bakura. He couldn't protect anyone he loved...wait...what?
"Thanks," Malik clung onto him as if a life line that would keep him away from nightmares.
Bakura pulled him onto the same bunk, curling the blonde against him, rocking him.
Malik felt calm around him. Never had he felt this way except around Marik though that's different. With Bakura he felt like he's with someone that won't judge him for his insecurities and damaged pieces.
Lifting Malik's chin, Bakura looked at him. Placing a light kiss on his lips, Bakura smoothed Malik's hair. "I won't let anyone hurt you again, Mal. I...I fucking love you, alright?" Bakura was shocked at the admission, but knew it was true.
"I love you too," he told him honestly, looking into those ruby depths. "I'll do my best to protect you too."
Smiling, Bakura smoothed his thumb over Malik's cheek. Holding him tightly, he relaxed until dinner.
\/\/\/
Yami walked up, frowning. He hated Marik sometimes. Sighing, he looked in. "Mutou, hands out, gotta cuff you."
"Um, ok... Not sure what you need me for," shrugged Yugi, getting up to go put his hands through the bars.
Yami said nothing, just cuffing him. Taking him back to the small room, he started getting the commissary out. After Marik had told Yami of his crush on Ryou, Yami had agreed to help Marik until he got his decision...with either Ryou returning.
Accepting the books he ordered that's all Yugi had wanted. Besides, he knew Ryou really enjoyed literature so he thought it would be good to do something nice for him.
Yami handed him some bags of chocolate candy, as well as some potato chips.
"Um, I didn't order this," Yugi eyed him suspiciously. "I only asked for the books."
"Yes, I know. I ordered these for you." Yami replied. "If you don't like them you can use them to barter
"Oh," Yugi felt confused why Yami would do this for him, though guessed it's nothing he should be too worried about.
Sighing, Yami frowned, watching Yugi out of the corner of his eye. Why was he so ... confused...around this inmate?
"Can I go now?" Yugi asked, nervous around this guard now than anything else for what his true intentions could possibly be.
Looking at his watch, he sighed. "Sorry, no. Another ten minutes then you can." Sitting back, Yami picked up his phone and started playing a game.
"Ok," huffed Yugi, hoping this would be over soon.
Meanwhile, Marik brought Ryou his lunch. "Lunchtime, Ry." Marik said quietly.
"O-Ok," he eyed him warily, knowing while they are on good terms Marik is still a guard.
Marik smiled sadly. "I'm sorry, Ry. Really I am."
"I'm trying to make it as comfortable as I can."
"I know," said Ryou softly, accepting the meal from him before beginning to eat.
"I...I will try to talk to the Warden and get better accommodations for you." Marik offered.
"That would be nice," nodded Ryou, hoping Akefia is ok as he hasn't seen him much.
"Is there anything you need?" he asked quietly.
"I want to see Akefia," he gave him a pleading look.
"I'll see what I can do." Marik said, leaving, knocking on the door to signal to Yami. At that, Yami stood, putting his phone up.
"Time to go back to the cell." Yami stated.
"Good," Yugi sighed in relief, going with Yami back to the cell, hoping to help Ryou with giving him the books and some of the food he got.
After locking the cell, Yami left, passing Akefia and Marik. Shaking his head, he kept walking. Marik was going to get fired if he wasn't careful.
Akefia stood outside the cell. "Ryou?" he said softly, tenderness in his voice.
"Hi," Ryou waved, relieved to see his brother.
Akefia reached through the bars. "Hey, baby brother. How are you?"
Ryou held his hand after going to sit by the bars, "Good. Yugi's making sure I'm well protected. Marik's very nice too. What about you? Are you ok?"
"Yea, I'm fine. Got some ballsy tatted guy in my cell who thinks he's better than everyone else. Looks kinda like your cellie." Akefia admitted.
"Oh, you mean Atem? H-He's Yugi's brother," Ryou told him. "Hmm, o-odd... Do you like him?"
"Of course not." Akefia scoffed. "I don't allow that in my life, you know that. He'd be good for a fuck though." Akefia added.
Ryou rolled his eyes at that, "I-I know. Good, close enough."
Marik cleared his throat. "Sorry guys, but I have to get him back."
"Ok," Ryou gave his brother's hand a light squeeze, watching him go with a sad expression.
Waltzing back into the cell, Akefia sat on his bunk. "Your brother is okay." He told Atem.
"Good," Atem gave a small smile, knowing Yugi would do well to protect Ryou during his time here.
Pulling out his tattoo gun, he started working on his next tattoo.
"Do they allow those in here?" Atem asked at seeing it curiously.
"Nope." Akefia kept working on his latest creation.
"What are you doing though?" Atem asked, not having seen one of those before.
"Working on a pyramid design," Akefia explained. "You want a tatt?"
"Ah, I see... Maybe," mused Atem.
"Lemme know." Akefia went back to work.
"Will do," nodded the starfish, hoping Yugi isn't causing any trouble.
\/\/\/
Bakura walked into the Warden's office next morning, Yami guiding him in.
Eyeing the silver haired male being led in, Zorc dismissed Yami when he's brought to the other side of his desk.
"Hmm, it seems Yami brought you as requested. Good," smirked the warden.
Bakura just stood there. "So, what do you want me to do." He crossed his arms. He hated cleaning, but if that's what he had to do, that's what he had to do.
"Heh, do you really think you'd be cleaning?" smirked Zorc, getting up to approach him.
"Yea. What else do you want? I gotta do your dry cleaning and stuff?" Bakura eyed the warden.
"You are a naive one, aren't you?" he couldn't help to be amused, moving in front of Bakura, placing a hand on his chin to examine him carefully.
"No." Bakura stared defiantly at Zorc.
"Oh yes you are... When I said to be my bitch I don't intend for you to do mundane things for me," corrected Zorc. "I mean that you will be my bitch in a more...sensual way."
Bakura's jaw tightened as he stared back at Zorc, resigned. If that was what he had to do to make up for his mistakes, he'd do it. "Fine."
"Good boy," Zorc smiled impishly, releasing him from his grasp, ensuring the door is locked before going to see about taking off his pants.
Bakura frowned, but went down to his knees to pleasure the Warden, to help his brother.
Of course he would ensure this isn't painful unless Bakura likes pain. Kicking off his pants revealed a six inch length cock with a few inches of girth.
Bakura just looked up at Zorc. "What do you want and how do you want it?" he asked.
"Hmm, good question," Zorc grabbed Bakura's hair to put him on his knees. "Oral this time. Perform well and you'll be rewarded."
Bakura had been trying to stand, but upon Zorc's direction, Bakura went back onto his knees. Closing his eyes, he engulfed Zorc's cock, licking and sucking on him.
Groaning in pleasure, Zorc thought he had picked the right individual to give him some relief. Being the warden meant he had little to no time for pleasure.
Bakura worked on Zorc to pleasure him, his mind wandering to Malik. Grunting, he imagined the pineapple as being the one he was deep throating, and he became more enamours.
Pleased by how much he seemed to be enjoying to play with him, it took only a several moments for him to release. When he's done he allows Bakura to stand to his feet. Putting his pants on, he wrote up a report while hitting a mechanism to unlock the door.
"Go, Yami will take you back," said the warden.
Nodding, Bakura walked out. Yami was standing there. Looking at Bakura sadly, he escorted Bakura back to the cell. Bakura said nothing, just went into his cell, looking for Malik.
Unfortunately, he's not there, but Marik came by to tell Bakura, "He was taking for his annual psych evaluation. He'll be back in an hour or so."
Nodding, Bakura sat down to wait. Yami looked sadly at Bakura, but walked off to do his duties.
Eventually Malik came back in. Going over to Bakura, he hugged him, looking him over for injuries.
"You ok, Fluffy?" Malik asked worriedly.
"Yea, fine." Looking away, he frowned. "I, uh, I'm going to be Zorc's bitch, not only to help Ry, but to help you, too." he said.
"Oh," Malik held him close, knowing it would help. "Ok. Just be careful."
"I'm probably going to have to fuck him...I had to blow him. You cool with that?" Bakura wouldn't look at him.
"It's not like we have a choice so yeah," sighed Malik. "You're still mine you know, 'Kura. So, having to fuck the warden isn't going to screw things up."
Bakura nodded. He didn't want to admit he loved Malik, but he did, so he really was confused.
Malik just held him, not sure how much longer he would be staying in here.
\/\/\/
Yami just sat, confused, worried about Yugi.
Zorc called Yami in to speak to him.
"Yes, Warden?" Yami asked.
"I've decided to give you that promotion you've been wanting for a while," answered the ruby eyed man. "This includes being able to relocate Yugi to a different cell. It can either be in your quarters or somewhere else of your choosing."
"Um, excuse me?" Yami asked. He thought he had been covert in his odd but strong attraction to the youth.
"It's useless to hide things from me," Zorc said with a cold smile. "I see how you are with him."
"Thank you, Warden." Yami said with a nod, heading out.
When he's left, Zorc looked at a message he has received of another warden being added to the place here. It would be interesting indeed when he arrives.
\/\/\/
Yugi and Ryou had been reading in their cells, relaxing.
Yami walked up. "Mutou, you are being relocated."
Blinking in surprise, Yugi got up, hugging Ryou before putting his hands through the bars to be cuffed.
Cuffing Yugi, he took him to his own quarters.
"Um, why am I here?" Yugi asked warily.
"I got a promotion. Look, I don't know why, but I am worried about you. You are tough, but I still feel like you are fragile and I want to protect you. You will stay here. You can sleep on my bed and I will get a cot. Just...this way I know you are safe." Yami shrugged.
"I'm not fragile," Yugi glared him a warning, following him inside to sit on Yami's bed.
"I know you aren't." Yami sighed in frustration. "Look, I am confused too."
"Ok," shrugged Yugi, hoping this isn't going to lead to anything bad.
"I am not going to do anything to you. I am not a bad guy." Yami said.
"You're a guard... Don't believe you," huffed Yugi.
Yami shrugged. "Then don't." He went about his business.
"Ok," Yugi looked down, not sure about this.
After a while, Yami got up to leave. "Got to go to work, so have to lock you in. You are still a criminal." Locking the door, he left.
Sighing, Yugi guessed he would be alone from now on.
\/\/\/
Marik walked up to Ryou, bringing him food.
Nodding, he appreciated that Marik would help him out.
He offered him a smuggled chocolate chip cookie this time.
Ryou smiled softly, "T-Thank you. You're very nice, Marik."
"I try. I'm just sorry you are in here." Marik's eyes were sad.
"I know," sighed Ryou, going back to eating his meal until he'd finished.
"I'm working on an appeal for you," Marik said softly.
"Aw, good," he smiled fondly, glad to hear it.
"Well...I...I got to get going," Marik smiled softly, heading off.
"In my office, Ishtar," Zorc told him of seeing him walk by the office.
"Y...yes, Warden." Marik whispered, heading in. "What did you need?"
"I received word that you've been doing well so far. Have you been wanting to be promoted?" asked Zorc, not caring that the blonde had stolen food.
"Well, of course I would like that, but I want to be pleasing and a good guard to you," Marik said, knowing to play the game.
"So far you have," murmured Zorc. "You have it then. Relocate Ryou to your quarters if you want. Oh and your brother has gone through the psyche evaluation. There have been no changes so he will have to be placed back in the ward for further study."
Letting out a sigh, he frowned. "Is there any ways Bakura can room with him? Bakura seems to be a calming influence on him."
"Hmm, it's possible. Speak to the person who runs the psyche ward. They would be able to give you a better answer," replied Zorc thoughtfully.
Marik nodded. "May I be excused?" Marik asked.
"Yes, leave now," answered Zorc dismissively, needing to figure out when this other warden would be arriving.
Marik nodded, passing a teal haired man on his way out. Going to Ryou's cell, he smiled. "I have good news, Ry. You get to move into my quarters."
"R-Really?" Ryou blinked in surprise, pleased to hear this, putting his hands through the wall as he knows the procedure of being cuffed to go out.
Cuffing Ryou, Marik smiled. "Yep. Come with me. Yugi is in Yami's room."
"O-Ok, good to know," Ryou followed him.
Taking him into his quarters, Marik took off the cuffs once inside. "I'll have to lock you in. You'll still get yard time and all that, but your cell will be my room instead." he shrugged apologetically.
"That's ok," Ryou hugged him gratefully.
Letting go of Marik, he went to go sit on his bed. At least he'd be locked up where he can have close contact with the blonde for once.
"You can sleep on the bed. I'll sleep on the recliner." Marik pulled out some extra bedding.
"Um," Ryou gained some courage to ask him. "C-Could you sleep with me instead? I would feel more comfortable having someone beside me."
Marik smiled softly. "Of course. I won't do anything dishonorable." Stripping down to his boxers, he slipped on some sweatpants and a tee shirt.
"I trust you," Ryou told him, going to lie down on one side of the bed.
Marik lay on the other on his back, drifting off to sleep. He would be talking to the psych ward warden tomorrow about Bakura staying with Malik.
Ryou curled up against him, feeling safe as he drifted off to sleep.
