"Bye, sister!"
"Good-bye, Ishizu-san…"
"Good-bye, brother, Ryou. Take care."
Ishizu Ishtar closed the door quietly as Ryou and Marik walked away. Their warm breath came out as small, puffy, misty clouds. Ishizu'd opened an exhibit at the local museum for a few day and the boys had gone to see her before she left, a something that the Ishtar siblings were glade about and that made Ryou slightly uncomfortable. Ryou stated the later fact out loud.
"What! Sister LOVES you!" Marik exclaimed.
Ryou shrugged, blushing. "Ishizu-san is very nice but… Oh, I don't know. Maybe I'm just not used to being in a family setting anymore… I did live alone for a long time."
But Marik wasn't done yet. "Ishizu's always nice to you. I think she likes you better than she likes me! It's always Ryou's so nice, Ryou's so sweet, Ryou's so sensitive, Ryou's so kind, he's such a good influence. He didn't try to take over the world…" Marik prattled on. "That last comment was a joke…by the way."
Ryou smiled. "I'm sure it was. Only you would joke about world domination."
Marik shot his boyfriend an offended look. "I take offence to that! Anyway, if anyone doesn't like anyone, your dad doesn't like me."
"Father likes you plenty," Ryou said almost comfortingly. "He's just never met you or talked to you…"
"Because he hates me!" Marik cried.
"Marik, he does not," Ryou scolded.
Marik gave the other boy a playfully suspicious glance. "Yeah, right, sure…"
Ryou stopped walking and gave a shout. "Marik!"
Marik stopped as well and yelled back in an almost mocking tone with a grin. "Ryou!"
Ryou smiled and placed his hands on his hips. "Father likes you."
Marik copied Ryou's stance and rolled his eyes. "And Ishizu loves you." He held out a hand to the hazel eyed boy standing in front of him. "Keep waling? We're almost home."
Ryou blinked and with a smile placed his hand in Marik's. "Okay let's go."
The boys kept walking.
Marik looked up to peered at the sky as they walked. A blush burned across his cheeks as he cleared his throat. "You… You know I love you. Right?"
Ryou ducked his head as a blush dusted his cheeks as well. The pale boy smiled sweetly to himself. "Yeah, I know. I love you, too."
Again, kind of really short. It was kind of rushed but at the same time not... If that makes any sense. I knew what I wanted to write but it was just a matter of actually sitting down and typing it. That and I'm still kind of grounded...yeah. Anyway, I hope you like it. I don't think it was the best really but if you like it, great!
