It is Yugioh that I do not own.


"Come on in, Malik, I'm just on the phone."

Malik brought out his key and opened the door to Ryou's apartment. He had been given a key about a month ago, after they'd told each other "I love you", but he always knocked anyway. Just in case he was doing something important.

"And why would that be, hmm?"

Ryou held the phone away from his ear, the person on the other end screaming. Malik smirked. Ryou looked over at him and gave him a sheepish smile.

"Sorry, sorry!" He sighed. "Look, Malik's here and--" He stopped and listened to the person on the other line for a minute. "Oh, thanks a lot! See you at school tomorrow."

He looked over at Malik, walked over to him, and hugged him tightly. "Malik! I'm so happy to see you!"

Malik hugged him back and laughed. "I just saw you the day before yesterday!"

"Yeah, but Marik interrupted us!"

"We sang the kissing song at him."

Ryou just leaned on his boyfriend. "I missed you..."

Malik pushed him away just enough to kiss him. "What's up, Ry?"

"I think Bakura messed up my hot chocolate," Ryou said.

Malik walked Ryou over to a chair, and once he was sitting, asked, "Where is this...melted chocolate?"

"Hot chocolate!" Ryou corrected. "It's a drink! ...It's in the kitchen."

Malik nodded and went into the kitchen. He found a half-full coffee mug filled with a rich liquid. Curious, he stuck a finger into the drink. It was sort of thick and, when he pulled his finger out and licked it, definitely chocolaty. "Why would Bakura mess up your hot chocolate?" Malik yelled.

From the other room, Ryou replied, "He knows it's my favourite drink! And it's tradition! He messes up my hot chocolate, I make him spend time with Yami!"

Malik smirked and poured the drink into the sink. "Well, I'll make you some more!" He found the powder Ryou used on the counter and the warm water in an electric kettle. Using his sense of logic, he added a nice amount of powder to two mugs and poured in the water. When clumps floated to the surface, he found a spoon to stir the drinks with. He picked up the mugs and brought them into the living room.

"So, who were you on the phone with?" Malik asked while he handed one to Ryou.

Ryou took a sip and replied, "Yugi. He and Joey thought there was school yesterday."

Malik sat down next to Ryou. "Yugi and Joey are idiots."

"Idiots in love." He added, leaning against his boyfriend again. "Now, give me five minutes to finish this and we can go out, 'kay Malik?"

Malik smiled at his boyfriend and kissed his forehead. "Sure thing, Ryou."
