Strange Romance

Chapter Two

The bathroom door opened and Mariku walked in. He didn't know much about these things...Hell he doesn't see anything wrong it either!

"Hey Runt I nee-" Mariku started but Yuugi cut him off.

"Get out! You can't just walk in someone in the bathroom!" Yuugi said hiding behind the shower curtain. Mariku just stared at him...he quickly realized that Yuugi was naked.

"...wait a minute..." Mariku said walking over, he looked at Yuugi's hair, it was all wet but still up in that ridiculous pot leaf shape. "What hell is up with your hair?"

Mariku, not being normal as he is quickly grabbed Yuugi by the back of his neck and put the small teen's head under the flow of water, seeing the hair fall around Yuugi's shoulder's he pulled the teen out of the flow, but the hair just popped right back up.

"Demon hair!" Mariku yelled and ran out, forgetting what he was going to ask for.

Yuugi just stood there, not really sure what the hell just happened. And then after a few minutes he realized than in Mariku action his body got exposed. Blushing he pulled the curtain back to cover himself and finished washing up.

...

"Okay new plan, not going to revenge but I must kill that hair!" Mariku mumbled to himself. "It has to be some demon that attached itself to the runt's head!" He didn't even realize that Yuugi was in the room with him until he turned around. Yuugi was just staring at him with and eyebrow raised.

"Okay how much did you just hear?" Mariku asked.

"That you want to kill my hair..." Yuugi said, it was official, Mariku was just insane.

"It has to be some sort of evil demon! I mean it's not normal for hair to do that!" Mariku defended. Yuugi just sighed. "...oh yea...do you have a blanket?"

"...yes" Yuugi said.

"Good! I need those for sleeping!" Mariku said and paused. "I'm also going to need a pillow."

Yuugi just knobbed and walked to a hallway closet and pulled them out, handing them to Mariku. "Here you go."

Mariku didn't say anything else. He just walked over to the couch and threw the pillow on it and laid down pulling the blanket over himself.

Yuugi went to his own room.

...

The next day, likely Saturday, Yuugi woke up and found that he was unable to move, he couldn't really figure out why, in his haft asleep state opening his eyes, he meet...a tan chest. Last night's events quickly filled his mind, he brought Yami Marik into his home...but wasn't he on the couch?

Yuugi tried to get out, but he never got credit for being psychically strong. Nope, he had no chance of escaping unless Mariku woke up and stopped cuddling him. But it didn't look like it happening anytime soon, Mariku was sleeping deeply.

He most likely didn't get any sleep in the shadow realm, and he did kind of fall from the sky yesterday...he was so warm too. It was making Yuugi sleepy, but he needed to stay awake.

Nope didn't happen. Yuugi quickly fell back a sleep.

...

Mariku woke. The couch was really uncunfy, so he slipped into Yuugi's bed. Sometime during the night though, he didn't even unknown how, he ended up cuddling Yuugi after he came into his room. The midget was still sleeping so Mariku just got out the bed and left the room.

"Now..." He looked around. "Where do they keep the food in this place" Mariku said walking to the kitchen.

Yuugi woke up; the bed was still warm from when Mariku left...he was still creeped out by that, like who really wanted to wake to find some...odd person hugging you in your sleep? Getting out bed, he walked out of his room and into the kitchen to see Mariku trying to eat a sealed can of peas.

Mariku saw Yuugi and threw the peas in and random direction. "Make me some food!" He whined. Yuugi just nodded and told Mariku to wait on the couch.

Yuugi made scrambled eggs, toast and Bacon; he made a lot of it, which was good because Mariku was eating like there no tomorrow.

It was having Mariku...at his house. It was like having a puppy...a dangerous puppy. Mariku was odd he just did the things he wanted, because he wanted too. Same thing with the way he talked.

Yuugi almost forgot that everyone, being Ryou, Seto, Tea, Joey and Tristan was coming over later day. Almost. Something just made it click in his head and got up walked over to the phone and did a group call to talk to them all at once.

He didn't want to explain it once they all got here. Needless to say, no one really happy about this. But they calmed down and said they'll still come over.

...

Yuugi just got done cleaning his house for when people where coming over, Mariku didn't know much about cleaning...he just watched TV on the couch.

Then the doorbell rang.
