My wonderfully pyscho family is just upstairs. My brother and three male cousins are playing Super Smash Bros. Melee in the next room over. And I'm sitting here, getting this drabble ready for you guys. It's truely almost Christmas now! Ownership of Yugioh (and Super Smash Bros. Melee) is not mine, although I did ask for it for Christmas.

Malik shuffled his feet nervously. He was so excited, but so anxious at the same time over one thing. He felt like someone would when they're about to propose. But he wasn't! No, it was much less life-altering but still somewhat.

Ryou opened the door. "Hi Malik. Sorry I took so long; Bakura was trying to put a Christmas tree bauble in the microwave."

Maybe it wasn't going to work, but Malik knew, as he followed his wonderful boyfriend into his apartment, he had to try.

"Ryou?" He looked at Malik.

"Yeah?"

"I was wondering if we could talk. About something sort of important." Malik fought very hard to keep from blushing.

"Of course. ...Should we go up to my room? I'm sure Bakura won't eavesdrop if we do." He nodded and the two of them down the hall to Ryou's room. Ryou sat down on his bed and Malik took the desk chair.

"Well," Malik started, his nervousness showing in his voice, "First of all, I'm not breaking up with you." Ryou blinked and Malik chuckled. "Just so you don't think the wrong thing." He nodded as Malik continued, "I've been thinking a lot since last Sunday. And I've come to a decision. And Ishizu and Odion are okay with it, so you can't say no if that's your only reason!"

"Only reason to say no to what?"

Malik stood up. "I want you to move in with me and my family."

Ryou blinked, utterly confused.

"I mean, your dad doesn't come home ever and you and Bakura aren't the best of pals. I'm sure you don't like babysitting him all the time."

"Father sends money for the apartment straight to the landlord," Ryou said as a reminder.

"I've thought about that too! You could move into Marik's room and he could move in here! He's dating Bakura, so I'm positive they would be happy with that!"

Ryou stared at him and thought for a minute. Move in with the Ishtars? Could he really do that? It would be closer to school, closer to most of the town, and closer to Malik. "You...sound like you've got it all planned out."

Malik blushed. "I said I've thought about this..."

"Well, as long as your sister and Odion are really okay with it..."

"You will?" He asked excitedly. After a moment, Ryou nodded. And Malik shouted for joy. "Yes!"
He practically fell to Ryou's side and kissed him out of pure elation. "You won't regret the move, I swear!"

"I should start packing," Ryou said, a blush forming on his face.

"Can I help?"

Ryou agreed and the two of them started packing up. It was decided by Bakura that the tabletop RPG stuff Ryou had would stay in the apartment, but most everything else was packed away. An hour in, Malik had the thought to call home and tell Marik to pack as well. An hour after that, Marik was there with boxes of stuff and the process of unpacking Marik's stuff to put Ryou's stuff in the same box began. Finally, after four hours of work, Marik was unpacked into his new room at the apartment and Ryou had his stuff packed into boxes, bags, and suitcases.

Malik hung up the phone. "Ishizu's outside the building with the car."

Ryou nodded. "We're really doing this?" He asked, just now coming to grips with just how big a thing they were doing.

"Yes," Malik said back, "We are." He nodded again and hugged Ryou. "Ready?"

"I'm ready."

They all started dragging things down the elevator and to Ishizu's car. It got loaded quickly and after a few minutes, Ishizu, Malik, and Ryou got into the car.

She started the car, and started taking the two boys away from the apartment, and towards their home.

Wow, that was long! But good, right? Tell me! Review please!
