A/N: Back with a new chappie! I've been a bit busy with school and my other continuing fic but now I have time to work on this :) As I said, this will feature the date so enjoy!
Marik had gone home last evening or more like skipped home. He had gone strait to bed again, still smiling like a lovesick idiot. His face was starting to cramp from all the smiling and his siblings were starting to get freaked out. They were looking at him weirdly as he came to the breakfast table but he pretended not to notice their stares.
"Um, Marik?" Ishizu addressed him as he sat on the table. He looked at her as a sign of acknowledgement and started eating his toast.
"How are you feeling?" She asked and tried to smile but failed rather miserably.
"Great!" Exclaimed Marik happily. "And how about you?" He continued with his cheerful tone, which freaked Ishizu and other occupants of the table a bit.
"I'm fine… Is there a reason why you're feeling so great?"
"I'm going out with Bakura." Stated Marik casually and reached for some coffee while Ishizu and Rishid changed glances.
"That's the reason you're so cheerful and…happy?"
He grinned widely over the rim of his mug. "Yep! This is so great! Oh, sis, you will have to help me decide what to wear."
"Ah well… I'm sure you'll be fine just like you are…"
Marik looked at himself and then strangely at his sister. "In my pajamas?"
"I didn't mean that… Just wear what you usually do."
"But that would be boring! I want to wear something special."
"Why is that? You never acted like this when you were going out with some girl…" Ishizu said with a frown. She just couldn't see what was so special about this Bakura that made her brother act this way.
"Yeah but he is different!"
"Okay, fine. I just don't see what's so special about him."
"Well, you don't know him like I do."
Deciding that that was the end of discussion, Marik left the kitchen, his half eaten breakfast and confused siblings behind. They just couldn't see him like he did…
…………………………….
Bakura's day at work had started relatively well seeing that he had been sent to a storage room again. This was the other storage room, the one that was even older than the other and dustier. The teen sneezed yet again and cursed under his breath. He did not like storage rooms one bit and was starting to hate all the ancient stuff as well. Why was he the one who had to do all the nasty, dusty work? He would probably end up with asthma or something…
To prevent himself from totally loosing his mind in this dusty hell, Bakura entertained himself with thoughts about his up coming date and with the most important question; where the hell was he going to take Marik? It wasn't like he had planned on asking him out, it had just kind of happened. Now he had the problem of deciding where would they go. He didn't want to go to some lame place like the movies but with his not so vast amount of imagination, that was where they'd most likely end up in. He thought about asking Ryou for help but decided against it. What did he know about dating? More than Bakura did most likely… Ryou had set up his brother for almost a year now after all.
"Are you done yet?" Asked the familiar voice of Ishizu from the door.
"Not yet!" He called back.
"Oh. Can you come here for a sec anyway? I want to talk to you about something."
"Ok…" He made his way to Ishizu. "What?"
"Are you seriously going out with my brother?"
Some how, he had seen that coming. "Yes. Why?"
She bit her lip before answering. "Don't hurt him… He's gone through a lot."
"Who hasn't… I'm not going to harm him. You don't have to go all over protective big sister on him, Marik can take care of himself and even if he can't, I can take care of him."
Ishizu nodded seriously. "I'm going to trust you on this but just so you know; if you make him unhappy in any shape or form, I'm going to hunt you down and hurt you so bad you wish you had never been born." After that she turned around and exited the storage room, leaving Bakura staring after her.
…………………………………
Much later that afternoon, Marik was making his way to Bakura's. They had agreed that he would come by after Bakura got away from work and then they would go to where ever they were going, he didn't really care.
Marik had gotten help choosing his clothes from his reluctant sister but in the end he had chosen his own clothing because he didn't like anything that Ishizu picked for him.
He made to the apartment and knocked on the door, waiting for someone to open it. He didn't have to wait for too long when the door opened. Ryou stood there and smiled at him.
"Hello! Wait, I'll get Bakura." He turned away from Marik and shouted in the apartment. "Bakura! Marik is here!" Some sort of strange mumble could be heard. Soon the teen emerged from his room and actually smiled at Marik, maybe even checking him out.
"Hi, let's go. Bye Ryou!"
"Bye! Have fun!" Ryou called back and closed the door after them.
"So where are we going?" Asked Marik walking down the stairs next to the other.
"Well, actually…" He looked a bit bothered. "I have no idea." He grinned sheepishly.
"Don't worry! You can leave it all up to me, The Marik will save your unimaginative ass." He declared making Bakura roll his eyes.
They walked for a while, chatting a bit, until they reached Domino center. Lots of people walked around and went and exited the stores, buying necessities or just looking around.
"Oh I know!" Marik suddenly exclaimed. "Over there!" He pointed to somewhere and Bakura turned to look at what he was pointing. A movie theatre.
"I don't know… Wouldn't that be sort of lame?"
"No, no." Reassured Marik the not so exited Bakura. "We can through popcorn at other people." Bakura's face lit up. Why hadn't he thought of that?
"Yeah!"
So they proceeded with their plan and went inside, quickly scanning over the list to see what was on. Nothing was of particular interest so they just went to see the movie most people went to see, that way they wouldn't get couth so easily.
………………………………..
They didn't get to see the whole movie for they were kicked out because they disturbed the peace. That didn't matter, the movie wasn't all that good anyway and besides they were starting to get hungry.
"I'm hungry…" Stated Marik when they were exiting the theater.
"You just ate a whole lot of popcorn."
"No I didn't, you used all my popcorn." He accused.
"That was only because you poured all my popcorn on that kid in front of us!" Bakura accused back.
"No I- wait… Yes I did, but he was going to turn us in!"
"He did turn us in!"
Marik was about to say something when his stomach made a displeased sound. "Okay, sorry. Can we go get something to eat now?"
"Sure. Where do you want to go?"
"Let's… go over there." He signaled towards the nearest food place. It was small and nice but the food looked great. It was self-service so they ordered and settled on a table near the windows.
"Gee, 'Kura, you must have taken the one with the most meat in it."
Bakura shrugged a bit. "I like meat."
Marik made a face. "Well, I'm a vegetarian."
"You are?" Bakura asked amazed, he didn't know that. And here he thought that they knew each other so well and yet it's possible to discover something like this. "I didn't know that."
"I guess it just never came up."
Their food arrived and they started eating. The food was good and they ended up ordering dessert as well.
…………………………………
After eating and walking around aimlessly for a while they decided that it was time to go home. Bakura being the gentleman he was… offered to escort Marik home, which he kindly accepted. On their way to Marik's they chatted and laughed and made fun of each other.
It was a shame that their time went so fast but all good must come to an end at some point and so must this as they could already see the Egyptian's house from where they were. They slowed down a bit but that didn't prevent them from reaching the house for long. They found each other in the doorstep far too soon.
Marik stood on the doorstep facing Bakura who stood on the path. He had his keys out but didn't really want to go inside just yet.
"So…" Bakura trailed off not really knowing what to say.
"Yeah…" Marik was suffering of the same problem.
There was silence between them for a while before Marik spoke again. "I had fun."
"Yeah, me too… Maybe I should go now." Bakura was just about to turn away and leave when Marik suddenly pulled him close by his shirt and crushed their lips together. To say that Bakura was surprised would be an understatement as his eyes widened at the sudden contact. Marik paid no heed but wrapped his arms around the other's neck and licked his lip a bit for entrance, which was granted when Bakura began to kiss back. He joined his tongue with Marik's and pushed him against the door as he started to dominate the kiss. Bakura wrapped his arms around Marik's waist and pressed them close enough to feel each other's heart beat. Marik's hand found it's way inside the other's shirt as he played with his canine, emitting a moan from Bakura. Marik smiled into the kiss, satisfied with the reaction. His keys fell down on the grass and were forgotten there as the two were too involved in their dance of tongues.
Suddenly and all too soon they fell back as someone opened the door.
"AAAH!"
They found themselves lying in a tangled heap on the floor of the Ishtar residence. Bakura who had landed on top had hit his face on the floor. "Aw fuck!" He cursed none too gracefully. Marik on the other hand was staring up on his sister's shocked face.
"Uh… Hi sis. What's up?"
"You certainly are not." She spat. "What on Earth is going on here? I hear a voice and open the door only to have you two almost fall on me!"
"Well, we were just… um…"
Bakura got up to a sitting position so that he too could see Ishizu who stood there in her bathrobe, staring down on them, waiting for an explanation. "I was just escorting Marik here home and we got involved in… an activity and then you kind of interrupted us."
Ishizu blinked. "What sort of activity are we talking about?" She asked eyeing them both.
"Making out." Bakura stated bluntly and Marik slapped his forehead and groaned.
"I see…" She finally said after a short silence. "Bakura, home. Marik, with me." She ordered shortly but effected-ly. The two got up with each other's help.
"I'd better go, your sister looks pissed." Bakura mumbled and Marik nodded.
"Yeah… Bye. I sure hope she isn't planning to give me the talk or something."
"I'm right here." Ishizu reminded them, crossing her arms.
"Uh, yeah… Bye." Bakura waived and walked out of site, leaving Marik at the mercy of his sister.
"Please come with me to the kitchen." She said and Marik fallowed her. Once in the kitchen, the place for important discussions in the Ishtar family, she started. "Brother, explain please."
"How did you think a date between two hormonal teenage boys would end?"
"To be quite honest, I didn't think two hormonal teenage boys would end up dating each other."
"Sister please! I really thought more highly of you. I mean, I didn't think it would matter to you…"
Ishizu sighed and rubbed her temples. "Marik… I didn't mean it like that. It's just… Why him?"
"That's it? You just don't like him?"
"No, I don't." She said coldly.
"But why?"
"His company is not good for anyone. I tried to be nice to him, I really did try to get along with him for your sake and he just doesn't… He just blows it up my face!"
Marik was amazed to see his sister like this. It was really rare for her to loose her cool composure. "Are you saying I can't see him? That's what this is all about?"
"No! I can't deny his company from you but I expect you to take a couple of days to think things through first, are we clear?"
"Yes… Does this mean I'm grounded?"
"Not grounded but excepted to stay away from him." With that the discussion was over. There was no use arguing when Ishizu got like this and Marik made his way to his room. He shut the door and leaped on his bed and buried his face in the pillow, screaming to himself. How come things were never easy? Always so complicated… Now he was excepted to not see Bakura for god knows how long. A thought hit him and he dug up his cell phone. Ishizu didn't say anything about calling or text messaging him though….
………………………………
Once Bakura got home he was bombarded by Ryou.
"How was it? Did you have fun? Where did you go? What did you do? How come you're back so soon?-." More questions were about to come but Bakura raised his hand to prevent them.
"To answer your questions in order; it was great, we had fun, we went to the movies and then to eat, we threw popcorn at people, I'm back now because Ishizu kicked me out once she busted us."
Ryou grinned. "Busted you doing, what?"
"We were making out, ok? Now you shut up about that!" Bakura yelled and Ryou saluted at him still grinning widely.
"Yes sir! Not a word."
"Good."
With that said and done he went to his room and shut his door, not wanting company. He sat on his bed just when his cell phone peeped as a sing that he got a message. He looked at his cell and discovered it was from Marik and smiled a bit when he checked what did he have to say.
/Ishizu grounded me and we won't be able to meet for a while but we'll keep in touch, ok?/
Bakura frowned at the fact that Marik was grounded and answered.
/Bitch. Of course we will! I think I go to bed now. Nighty night, 'Riku./
Just when he had changed in his pajamas his cell peeped again and he tucked under the covers to read it.
/Good night 'Kura./
He sighed and while still smiling to himself turned off the light and settled to sleep. It wasn't for long until sleep took over him and he fell in a peaceful slumber.
A/N: Done:) If you're wondering where 'Riku came from then: Ma-ri-ku, take away the first syllable and you got ri-ku, see? I though that would be good. At least I don't think there's another fic in this site where he's called that. (Everyone is falling through doors xD)
