Routine

Routine 4

The walk home was short as always. Ryou and Marik let themselves into their tiny home and sat down at the kitchen table to get their homework done. It was quiet for a few minutes as the boys worked. Neither boy had much work but their playful banter distracted them long enough for it to take them a good while before they finished their work.

"So…how was your day?" Marik asked after a few more moments of uninterrupted silence.

Ryou couldn't help smiling. "Marik, you were with me the whole day."

"Yeah, but I wanna hear it from you."

"Fine… My day was fine."

"Just fine?"

"Marik!" Both boys looked up at each other from across the table. Ryou tossed the Egyptian a sweet smile. "Do your homework."

Marik pouted. "Fine…be that way…"

"You'll get over it," Ryou comforted sweetly before going back to his work.

"No. I won't," Marik said dramatically.

"Homework," Ryou reminded his boyfriend.

With a huffy sigh, Marik set his pencil back to his paper.

Finally, after a while, the boys finished their work and found themselves sitting in the living room. The TV played commercials with bright colors and dorky theme songs. Marik flipped through the channels with his other arm around Ryou's waist. Ryou's head rested on Marik's shoulder.

"What do you wanna watch?" Marik asked after a few minutes of searching. Ryou sighed and grabbed the remote away from Marik who pouted sulkily and tightened his grip on Ryou's waist. "I asked what you wanted to watch, I didn't tell you to take the remote away from me."

"I think we should watch… Hey, look, they're giving Silent Hill!" Ryou said.

"You like that movie, huh?" Marik asked softly. Ryou was the one who jumped at the chance to watch a horror flick, Marik on the other hand… Well, they just scared him. That was all there was to it.

"Yeah. Do you mind?" Ryou murmured tilting his head up to look at the blond.

"Not really."

"Are you sure? You don't like horror movies, I know…"

"Nah, this movie isn't so bad," he said with a small smirk. Ryou liked the movie. What else mattered really?

Ahh, what can I say...? This one's really short. To anyone who reads this, sorry if I took for ever to up date 1) I have a horrible sense of time and 2) finals at school totally kicked my ass...

Thanks again to Mistories for reviewing. I appreciate the feedback.

To everyone else, thanks for reading, I hope you liked it. Reviews would be much appreciated. =3
