25 Days of Hell

Disclaimer: The person claiming to own it is my evil twin, honest ;;

A.n: Life Blows. And that is the only excuse I'm offering. But I did decide to pick this back up for the new holiday season. Don't expect another update this month however, it's in the middle of NaNoWriMo and I really don't have time to write anything but that at the moment, however updates will resume on Dec. 1.
Deck the Halls

"You are never going out in public with me again." Ryou said angrily as he stomped up the porch to there house, a smiling and cheerful Malik behind him.

"All come on Ryou, It was fuuuun." Malik said, stressing the word fun as he dangled a lone handcuffed wrist in the air. It jingled slightly.

"I lost 200 dollars of our Christmas Money because of you."

"Well, I didn't tell you to bail me out."

"The cops wouldn't not let me bail you out; you were scaring the other prisoners."

"All the reason to not charge."

"MALIK!!"

"… What?" Ryou slapped his forehead in exasperation, remembering today's events."

---

"I want this one."

"…"

"What? Its pretty, It's full of potential… it's…"

"Dying." Ryou inserted before Malik could even finish that sentence. He stared at the half dead, wilted tree. Branches where crumpling around it and really, he didn't even think a miracle could save it.

"It could be like that Charlie Brown Christmas Tree."

"… I don't even think their tree looked that bad."

"You have no spirit."

"I can't believe I'm hearing this from Mr. Anti-Christmas."

"I am not Anti… Well… Maybe a LITTLE Anti, but everyone just way to cheerful. It's a waste of a good day."

"Duly noted, I will remember to skip over you when it comes time to buy your gift."

"… Ryou."

"Yes Malik?" Ryou said with patience as he looked at another tree, He knew what was coming.

"I suddenly love Christmas. I mean, why ELSE would I trick you into coming out here huh?"

"I know Malik." Ryou said with a roll of his eyes.

Malik hummed to himself as he followed Ryou from tree to tree. Ryou had finally settled on one, a lush green one that Malik was sure would never fit into the house, at least not until it was properly trimmed, and he could only guess who would end up trimming this tree.

With a sigh he shoved his hands into his pockets, grinning as they rubbed against something.

Ryou thanked the man as he handed him a 40 dollar bill, he helped him get the tree on top of the vehicle. He glanced around, searching for Malik. Someone screamed behind him, and he thought he smelled something burning.

"Oh God…" Ryou mumbled as he turned around. He could hear the singing in the distance and smell the smell of burning Christmas trees.

"Deck the halls with balls of Ryo…"

"MALIK!!" And he could also hear the cop cars.

"So… Err… Do we get to hunt down another tree tomorrow?" Malik asked after a few minutes of silence. Ryou turned and snapped at him.

"You get to be baby sat by Yuugi tomorrow, because if you don't I'm afraid I'll either kill you or not live to see my next birthday!"

Wanna know a secret? This has been sitting on my hard drive for months XD It's really half-assed and I still weep at how OOC they are. But hell, did they EVER have a personality outside Yami on that show anyways (Every time I saw Ryou, he was possessed). The Deck the Halls, I'm pretty sure was brought about by my friends and I loving to make up curropted carols.
