(Play opening theme song: 'Vampires Will Never Hurt You' by My Chemical Romance)

"Come ON Yuugi, the movie's gunna start soon."
"Sorry. I didn't need to go at the house." Yuugi protested from the bathroom door. "If the movie starts before I get out, you go on ahead, alright?"
"You sure?"

"I'm not gunna make you miss the movie 'cause of me." He replied, popping his head back inside the lavatory. Yami sighed. Sometimes Yuugi could be pretty nice.

'In fact, so far, he's been pretty cool to me all night.'

He thought.

'Then again, the date DID just start….but I suppose it was better than our first meeting…and the second……and the third one could have gone better…'

"Um, excuse me?" Yami turned and paled at the sight of the pair in front of him.

'Malik and Marik? What are THEY doing here?'

"You're…" Malik smiled shyly.

"So, I guess you recognize us, huh?" He paused, groaned and face-palmed. "Of course you recognize us; we almost killed you."

"Malik, just hurry up so we can get to the movie." Marik said impatiently. At the sight of Yami's gaze on his face, he blushed with embarrassment and walked away.
"S-S-So….Um…I'm gunna…go over here…" He stammered, walking off quickly. Malik sighed.
"Sorry about that….And about almost killing you." The thin one added. "That's what I wanted to say to you. We weren't exactly AIMING for you."
"I know."

'You were aiming for the guy who knocked me out, molested me, almost got me killed, stalked me for three days, broke into my house and decided to move in…along with his BUDDIES…'

The slightly derisive thought entered the musicians mind. He blinked.

'Am I REALLY this pessimistic?'

"I really am…VERY, VERY sorry. It's just…it's not you, it's them." Malik's eyes darted around the building. "And this is not going well."
"No, I get it, its fine." Yami gave a small smile. "You were just…doing your job, right?" Malik smiled back, somewhat meekly.

"Pretty much." The college student leaned against the wall, the leather becoming uncomfortable but Yami didn't bother to move.

"Like I said, I can't hold it against you. I'd probably do the same in your shoes…just with better aim." Malik blushed embarrassedly and turned his gaze, looking ashamed. Yami sighed, smiling a little. "Malik, I'm just kidding." The platinum blonde blinked, before smiling a little again.

---

As the tiny vampire walked out of the bathroom, he froze in place, his eyes bugged, jaw went slack…

Malik.

YAMI was TALKING to MALIK.

Malik. Was. Here.
And that almost GUARANTEED that MARIK was there too.

He grimaced, darting back into the bathroom and into another stall. Yuugi took a deep breath, pressing himself against the stall door.

"HOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT!"

---

Malik blinked at the scream as Yami tensed inwardly.

"Did you hear something?" The musician gave a nervous cough.

"Umm, I have no idea." The hunter stared for a second, then sighed.

"Well, I don't want o be late for my movie so…"
"Oh, it's fine, go ahead." The student said with a hand gesture. Malik nodded, smiling some again as he ran to his masculine friend (Who had been avoiding him the entire time).

"Psst!" A voice whispered. "Is he gone?"

Yami was silent until he saw the two enter Cinema 23.
"Yeah. They just left." The bathroom door swung open as Yuugi walked out of his hiding spot.

"I KNEW Marik was here too." The vampire insisted. "I just KNEW it. Those two are INSEPARABLE." Yami blinked.

"They're good friends, aren't they?" Yuugi smirked some at that, folding his arms.
"Yeah, 'friends'." He sniffed. "Please. Everyone knows Marik wants Malik. Only thing of it is the kid's so busy feeling angst and hurt over Bakura that he doesn't notice." He sighed, leaning on one hip.
"I mean," He started again, shaking his head. "Why can't they just look at each other, make out, jump in the sack and let it be known?" He snorted derisively. A still pause filled the air until the vampire turned to his doppelganger and asked. "Why can't WE just look at each other, make out, jump in the sack and let it be known?" The coincidental copycat looked up at Yami with a questioning look and he was returned with a half-lidded, one-eyebrow-raised, bland stare. Another silence was born and this one lasted for a few more seconds than the last one before Yami turned his head and walked away. Yuugi blinked.
"What? What did I say?"

'I take back what I said earlier about him being an okay guy (That perverted little…).'

"YAMI-CHAAAAAAN! WHAT DID I SAAAAY?!"

..::Meanwhile::..

Bakura kissed ravenously at the young boys' neck. Ryou let out a sweet-as-nectar moan while he did so, giving the vampire more access by turning his head.

"God, Ryou…" Ryou smiled a little, his breathing coming out in raged pants.
"Three seconds ago you called me an angel. Now I'm God. Which is it?"
"I don't know. I'll figure it out after the sex." Bakura slurred lustfully. He looked up to his pale skinned and haired lover and grinned. Ryou smiled back.
"So where are we doing it this time?"
"Ehhh, you pick." Bakura decided. "I picked dinner for our date a few nights ago."

"…." Ryou thought, squeaking and mewling a little as Bakura continued to nip at his neck. A light bulb went off in the boys head and he pulled away and grinned.

"Let's do it on the cash register in the shop section of this place!" Bakura grinned a little.
"You like doing things next to stuff that's on shelves, don't you?" Ryou's smile grew, taking on an uncharacteristically mischievous tone.

"I didn't say NEXT TO this time, now did I?" A deep chuckle rumbled in Bakura's voice box as he shook his head and smirked.

"I love you." Ryou's mischievous look was complemented with a bit of sensuality and sexiness as the boy slid his skirt down to a tantalizing height.

"I love you too." He wrapped his arms around his partner's neck and his legs around his waist. "Now let's prove it."

..::Back to the Date::..

Marik grumbled, stalking his way into the bathroom.

"WHY did I buy that Icee?" He sighed, walking into one of the four stalls and shutting the door.

---

Yuugi flushed the toilet, unlocking the door to the stall and walking out, inspecting his hair in the mirror.

"WHY did I buy that Icee?" Yuugi asked himself. Damn his weak bladder. Looking in the mirror, he noticed something brown on the toilet paper roll box. He sighed.

"Forgot my wallet." He moaned quietly, walking back in, leaving the door ajar.

---

Marik calmly unlocked the stall door and rolled his eyes.

'Out of toilet paper.'

He sighed, shrugged and walked into the stall next to that one as he attempted to shut the door.

---
Walking out of the stall again, Yuugi tucked his wallet into his back pocket and began to wash his hands. He smirked at the constant slamming of a door he saw in the mirror and chuckled to himself.

'Poor guy. Some of these doors can be a bitch.'

He thought as the door finally closed and locked. Scrubbing the soap off, Yuugi walked to the paper dispenser on the wall next to the stalls to go dry his hands.

---

Marik stumbled out of the stall, grimacing in disgust.

'Doesn't anybody CLEAN those toilets?'

He shuddered at the sight. The vampire hunter thought he saw something move but disregarded it and went into the third stall, which was wider than the others.

---

Satisfied, Yuugi smiled to himself before walking out of the bathroom. He wiped his hands on his jeans a little and just reached Cinema 9 where they were playing 'Passion of the Undead' when he paused, feeling over his left pocket. He heaved a heavy sigh, walking back to the stalls grumpily.

---

Marik snarled, unlocking the door and storming out while angrily washing his hands.

"Damn thing gets clogged up…Jesus, what's WITH these toilets?"

After scrubbing the soap off, Marik didn't bother to get a paper towel, he just wiped them on his shirt and stormed out. He pressed a hand over his eyes and growled.

'We are NEVER going to this theater aga-'

"PMPH!"

"GUH!" The grunts were heard a little after Marik slammed into some unsuspecting midget-sized moviegoer who didn't have enough decency to look where he was going and had just got pushed over. Marik snarled again.
"Jackass." He muttered, walking back into Cinema 23.

---

The small pale hand reached for the house key that had been dropped in front of the bathroom door.

"Knew I dropped this somewhere." Yuugi groaned, getting up. He grunted a little in the direction that the asshole that had just knocked into him but saw no one. He snorted, pushing the key into his pocket.

"Jackass." He snarled, waking back towards his cinema.

..::With Seto::..

"So…I'll see you around?" Jou asked, standing by the open door to the apartment building. Seto shrugged.
"Sure. I guess." Jou gave a small smile.

"Listen, um...a friend of mine is dancing in two nights at a club and I was planning on dragging Yami there with me because…well…basically-"

"He's a hermit." The vampire finished. Jou nodded.

"You're good." He said with a growing snicker. Seto smirked. The blonde had a nice laugh. "So, yeah, essentially that. And I was wondering if…maybe…you, Yuugi and maybe Bakura would wanna come?" Seto's eyes rolled a little in thought and he pursed his lips.

"Maybe. I'll think about it. But I probably will." Jou blinked.

"Really?"
"Hell, ANYTHING to get that guy out of the house." Seto scoffed. "Besides, it might be fun." Jou gave a full smile, dazzling the young CEO.

"Cool." He walked inside, turning his head and smiling again.
"Bye." The door shut and Seto smirked a little, watching the blonde wave from the window.

That had been fifteen minutes ago.

Seto had just left the border lining-slum area and his thoughts still lingered on the blonde boy. There was something about the way Jou moved, talked, and smiled, the way his warm brown eyes sparkled, his eye SHAPE…

He almost reminded Seto of a puppy. A cute, feisty, blonde puppy.

"Ho, ho, ho NO." He warned himself carefully, leaning against a glass window. "No. No, no, no, no, NO. SETO is NOT gay." He said in third person with a pointed finger. "SETO. Is STRAIGHT." On the word straight, hew stood straight on his own two feet, not leaning anymore. "SETO, is not PERVERTED like his COMRADES are." The tall CEO paced a little bit, pausing at the small black cat that was in the alleyway next to the sidewalk. He stared at it.
"Did YOU believe any word I just said?" The cat gave a small sneeze, looking up at him with his big green eyes. Seto rolled his eyes.
"I was hoping SOMEONE would….besides me, that is." He added quickly. The black feline cocked his head and Seto sighed.

"Dear God, I'm talking to A CAT. I'm cracking up. Hanging out with only insane gay people isn't good for my sexuality OR mentality." The kitten purred a little, somewhat questioningly. Seto sighed at it.
"No, they haven't been pressuring me it's just…Damn it, when they say some guy is cute, I AGREE with them." He groaned, pressing his forehead against the glass window. "I mean….there is only so far it can go, right? I AM straight…right?" He opened his eyes a little, as if trying to see something.

All he saw was the empty arcade behind the windowpane.

"Tch. No reflection." He whispered to himself bitterly. "I keep forgetting t-" He paused, mid-sentence as his eyes focused on the Sucky Slush machine in the corner of the store. It had three flavors, cherry (red), watermelon (green), and pina colada (white). The tall vampire smirked a little, looking back at the cat.
"Should I do it?" He asked. The feline looked up at him and said nothing. "I really wanna do it." He prodded earnestly. "I haven't had a Sucky Slush in so long. We've been moving around so much I can't even breathe before those two are on our tails again." He paced as he spoke. "But I can't just go out and BUY one. They'd know. It would be on my purchasing record thingy that the Powers seem to be keeping." He paused, quirking an eyebrow at himself. "Did I honestly just say thingy?"
The cat purred calmly. The vampiric CEO shook his head.

"Whatever. All I know is, if I want one, I'm gunna hafta break in to get it, which I can easily do. And I'll have to rig the machine, also, exceptionally easy." He stopped pacing again, smirking to himself.

"Aw hell, I'm gunna do it." HHe admitted. The kitten could only stare as the vampire pulled out a pocket knife from his pocket and successfully jimmied the lock open.

..::Back to the Date…Again::..

Marik watched with a smile as his dear friend laughed with him.

"I still can't believe we watched that." Marik gave another hoot of amusement.
"I know. It was horrible."

"I say when it comes out, we rent it just to laugh at how bad it is." The thin blonde giggled while throwing out their trash. The more muscular of the two grinned in agreement.

"And maybe we'll get that 'Passion of the Undead' one too." Malik snorted.

"Yeah, right." The taller made a pitiful attempt at bearing his canine teeth.
"Bleah, bleah. I vant to suck your cock." The smaller burst into laughter at the pitiful-yet-comedic vampire impression. Marik smiled.

'Something about the way he laughs…'

---

"THAT was BAD." Yuugi gaped as the cinema let out. "I mean, I'm as horny as they come," He started, throwing out the Icee cup. "And even I knew that was BAD." Yami let out a low whistle.

"Tell me about it."

'That was just….vulgar.'

He grimaced.

'They could've STOPPED at the male sex. I'm PRETTY sure it gave Yuugi some ideas.'

"Seriously, I'm thinking of actually WATCHING that TV you have in the living room just so I know what these things are about beforehand." Yami blinked.

"You don't?"
"Nope. Waste of time. I find more PRODUCTIVE things to do."
"Like what?" Yuugi gave a wicked grin.

"Like thinking up new ways to screw you, oh delectable Yami-Chan." The musicians face burned.

'I knew it.'

The cool air hit him refreshingly as he gave a gentle 'hmm'.

"This is much better than inside that movie theater. If we do this again, we'll hit up a better one."

"There are others?" Yuugi asked. Yami smiled a little bit.

"Well, yeah. I mean, there's that Island 23 that opened up but it's an hour away from the house. And there's that Movie Magic that's a few blocks away from here. But it's always showing these old '60s caper movies."

"I was always a fan of those." Yuugi smiled. "I love a good ole' fashioned whodunit." Yami chuckled.

"I never would have had you pegged for a mystery fan."
"Oh, yeah. Totally. But I never got the chance to see them after…well, after I got those two annoying hunters on my tail." the small vampire blinked, rubbing the back of his head. "Come to think of it, I never did much of ANYTHING after I became a vampire PERIOD." The college student blinked at that.

"Eugh." Yuugi snarled as he got shoved by someone bigger than him. "Watch where you're going!"
"F&ck you, asshole." A familiar voice shot back. Yami cringed.

'Don't tell me that's…'

The taller male turned his head, making his spiky platinum-blonde hair swish while gaping at the tiny vampire. Both the vampire's and the taller males violet eyes widened in surprise as they spotted the other.
Yami swallowed hard.

'I should have known…'

"YOU!" They both accused, pointing at the other.

Faces turned, stares begun and the three of them froze awkwardly.

"How about we…take this somewhere else?" The musician asked ineptly.
"Yeah. Good idea."

"I can go with that."

---

Malik walked out of the theater after grabbing another box of Sno Caps for the ride home. they'd have to call a taxi but-

He paused, looking around.
Where…was Marik?

A deep pang hit the smaller hunter full force in the chest. He didn't like this feeling.

This…feeling of alone…

Loneliness…

He never liked it.

Malik twisted and turned his head, looking through the thick crowd but his eyes did not see the familiar blonde hair of his companion.

This did not soothe him at all. After all, not having Marik near him felt the same way as when Bakura first left him.
He was all alone.

Malik ran as fast as his legs could take him, searching still.

he didn't like being alone.

---

"This is retarded." Yami mumbled, leaning against the wall of an alleyway while watching the vampire and the hunter duke it out.

"So what are YOU doing here?" Yuugi jeered, dodging the stakes that were flying by ('Does he keep that thing with him ALL THE TIME?' Yami had to wonder). He gave another smug grin. "Taking your little BOYFRIEND out on a DATE?" Marik turned the brightest shade of red imaginable-Yami's eyes paled in comparison.
"HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND AND IT'S NOT A DATE!" he screamed, taking a pouty stance. The vampire snickered, knocking the weapon out of his opponents' hands.
"Oh, SILLY me. I'd forgotten. Just FRIENDS." He sneered while managing a kick to the jaw. Marik flew back, landing on his rear. "Please. Just TELL HIM already. He'll never figure it out on his own." the hunter snarled again, rolling and grabbing his stake-shooting-weapon-of-DOOM in the process.

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!" He took aim and fired, his ammunition grazing the little vampires left cheek. He winced before dodging another shot.

"Oh, still in denial, aren't we? My, my. And don't say you aren't. Admitting it to yourself is only step one. Admitting it to others as well OFFICIALLY takes you out of the defiance stage." Marik scrunched his nose, shooting another one.
"Well, what about you and the human? What were you two doing here tonight?"

"It was a DATE. What ELSE?" Yuugi smiled. He flipped, dodging the stake again, and PRANCED to his taller doppelganger. Wrapping his arms around him, he nuzzled into the college student causing him to blush deeply.

"My Yami-Chan and I wanted to get to KNOW each other better."
"You seem to use emphasis on a lot of your words while you're talking, you know that?" Marik asked, shifting uncomfortably. The boy pouted while huggling Yami closer. The adult male flushed deeper.

'It doesn't help that he's so f&cking CUTE.'

He mentally sighed.
"We can ACCEPT it. Unlike SOME people I know." Marik growled as he raised the stake again.
"WHY YOU"
"Marik?" A familiar voice called. "Marik? Where are you?" The hunter paled.

"By the look on your face," Yuugi started, tucking his arms under Yami's. The little vampire spread his wings. "You forgot to tell Malik where you were. Shame, shame. And from what I've heard from Bakura, he can be really pushy about that." giving his wings a good flap, the tiny blood-sucking bishounen rose into the air, carrying the not-so-teenaged-anymore male with him. "Bye-bye now!" The Egyptian stared, beginning to aim until he heard his name called again.

---

Malik entered the alleyway, spotting his fair-haired friend. He smiled.

"Found you. I got a little nervous."

Marik smiled nervously.

"Sorry. I thought I saw Yuugi and…well…"

'It's better he doesn't know.'

"It's okay." Malik nodded. "Let's…just go home."

'After all,'

Marik nodded.

"Okay."

'We didn't come here expecting vampires.'

Malik grinned, running to his friends side and taking an arm.

'We came to have fun. And we did.'

Marik blushed a little before starting towards home, Malik in tow.

'So there's no real point in telling, is there?'

---

Yuugi sighed, finally lowering his loved one onto the ground in front of the Game Shop.

"That wuss." He snorted, stepping onto the ground. Yami rolled his eyes, searching for his keys.

"You couldn't help it, could you?"
"No I couldn't. I HAD to egg him on. I'm an annoying bitch like that.
"How true." Yami agreed. Looking into the window he quirked an eyebrow. "That's strange. Someone shut the blinds to the shop windows."

"You didn't before we left?" Yuugi asked. Yami shook his head. "Ah whatever. Not important. The important thing is," He loked up to his dark-skinned love interest. "If you had a good time." Yami mulled over the thought. After a while, a small smile curled onto his face.
"Yeah. Yeah, I did."

Silence.

"Yuugi? What did you mean by…you were never on a REAL date?" The little vampire's eyes became wider than normal before he gave a small half-hearted laugh.

"Well, to make a long story short, the girl I liked at the time and some of her friends thought it would be funny." Yami stared. "They thought that they would get a few laughs out of taking me on a fake date, dumping fish heads and this fish sauce on me and telling me I was a doofus for thinking that I would stand a chance with her." The red eyes widened.

'Yuugi…'

"They thought they would get a laugh." He sighed. "And they did."

The boy tried to mask the pain, but it was still there.

Yuugi smiled at the college student.

"But this one was much better. I had fun. I did. Even if the movie was crap." Yami smiled back a little.

The smile seemed a bit more genuine than the one he'd gotten at the beginning of the date.

(Bonus ending. SOME plot significance, not TOO important.)

"Hey did you guys open the door yet?" A familiar voice called. Yami lifted his head….

And his jaw dropped at the sight of Seto Kaiba wheeling a Sucky Slush machine in a little wheelie cart down the sidewalk.
"Wh-Wh-Wh-WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT?!"

"Well, I WANT to get it in the basement but I can't really without getting it inside first." Seto explained bluntly, placing the wheelie upright.

"THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH A SUCKY SLUSH MACHINE?!" Seto blinked, then scoffed.

"Yami, I'm rich and powerful. I can have whatever I want."

"So you bought a Sucky Slush machine?" Yuugi asked in awe. Seto paused, eyes shifting.
"Yyyeeeaaahhh…about the whole 'BUYING' concept…" he gave a nervous look.

The little vampire's expression quickly matched that of his look-alike.

"YOU STOLE A F&CKIN' SUCKY SLUSH MACHINE?!"

"I left a generous tip!" Kaiba argued. During this time, Yami shook himself out of his awe-induced trance to find the right key and unlock the door.

"KEEPING IN MIND THAT YOU'RE A CHEAPSKATE!"

"I'M A CHEAPSKATE?! PLEASE! LOOK AT BAKURA!"
"YOU! HAVE! MONEY! HE! DOESN'T!"
"OH, THAT'S AN EXCUSE?!" The argument continued even after Yami opened the door. The tall student walked inside his home-

His eyes were then plagued by the sight of a naked albino vampire on top of the cash register thrusting into the anal opening of a naked albino look-alike with a white liquid dripping off the side.

Yami, Bakura and the stranger stared for a few seconds before taking this moment to scream like little prepubescent girls who'd just seen their parents doing it.

Disturbing image, that.

Yuugi and Seto quickly rushed in at the sound of screams, Seto a little later because he was toting the wheelie cart that had the Sucky Slush machine on it.

unfortunately, Yami took no notice of this part.

After all, he'd fainted.
