CHAP 6: Meeting
Malik sighed as he waited for the lights to change so they could walk across the road. "When man is green, we can walk?" Ryou pointed, that was the fifth set of lights they had to wait for, and Malik had explained what had to be done at each one and told Ryou how they worked.
"That's right." Malik said, a few people gave them looks.
"Green!" Ryou called out when it had changed, and started to walk, Malik chuckled.
"Come on this way." Malik turned another corner and a few more people were walking about and Ryou was looking around in awe. It wasn't long when they had reached the racing track, Malik walked down the small path to the large shed that was open on both sides he could see the track on the far side and loud music came from inside.
Ryou gave Malik a look as they walked in and saw Marik with his back to them. His head was down and he was working on something on the bench and all three motorbikes sitting next to each other. Shelves of bike parts, and other stuff, posters of bikes on the wall with a grease and fuel smell in the air.
Malik smirked as he pressed a finger to his lips and motioned for Ryou to be quiet and snuck right up to him. But Ryou was going to say something, as a third one came in and snuck right up on Malik. "MALIK!" He was pounced on and both ended up on the floor.
Marik turned and chuckled. "Sneaking up on me isn't an easy task when I have a the all watchful guard dog Bakura." Marik chuckled, Ryou watched wide eyed but growled as Malik yelped.
"Malik!" Ryou pushed the one on top of Malik off and pinned him to the ground growling and bearing his fangs warningly at him.
"Shit!" Malik and Marik said.
"What the fuck is this crazy bastard doing?" Bakura growled back.
"Ryou get off him." Malik said getting up and rushing over.
"Oh so this is him, ha." Bakura narrowed his eyes looking Ryou over, despite Ryou growling at him and pinning him to the floor.
"Ryou get off." Malik said, as he grabbed Ryou's arm and pulled him. Ryou hissed as he got up a warning to Bakura to stay away but then looked to Malik. "What did I say about doing things like that to people?" Malik said not angrily but sternly.
"Malik hurt?" Ryou asked.
"I'm fine he was just playing." Malik said.
"Are those the idiots?" Ryou asked. Bakura and Marik gave Malik a look.
"Lets not say that word again." Malik laughed nervously rubbing the back of his neck. But a yelp from Marik turned their attention to them.
"I'm not a dog, bastard." Bakura had hit Marik over the back of the head. "So lets have a look at what you have here." Bakura walked right up to Ryou and looked him over. Ryou noticed that Bakura was much taller they both had the same hair, but his was much wilder, and his eyes were a darker brown almost black, and the some pale skin. "Not bad, not bad at all." He smirked and Ryou frowned. "I can see why you wanted to bring him home Marik."
"Back off Bakura." Malik pushed him away. "I have a few hours to do some work then I have to go to my real work." Malik moved over to his bike along with Ryou.
"So who are you getting to watch the boy?" Marik asked as he and Bakura followed him.
"Not you two." Malik smirked.
"You mean your leaving cat-boy with Motou?" Bakura asked.
"Yeah, at least Yugi won't try to molest him while I'm gone." Malik hissed as he sat down and started to work, Ryou sat down right next to him as Bakura and Marik moved around the other side of the bike and looked down at him.
"It wouldn't be molesting him, it would be along the lines of… showing him something that he doesn't know about." Bakura smirked as Marik chuckled.
"Freaks get to work." Malik hissed at them, and Ryou gave them a look and watched them walk away. "Idiots." Malik growled under his breath. Ryou watched him for a while as he worked and followed him around the shed, as Malik was working he slipped and the tool in his hand slipped and cut his finger in a thin line.
Malik winced as it started to bleed, Ryou crawled onto his lap, and took his hand and started to lick his wound. Malik blushed, as Ryou's tongue ran over his skin soothing the cut. Marik and Bakura were watching smirking as always. "R-Ryou it's fine." Malik pulled his hand away from Ryou, who gave him a confused look. It was one of the best ways to help with pain for small cuts, he always did. "I'll get a band-aid for it."
Malik moved Ryou from his lap and stood up he swung his leg over and straddled the seat and turned it on and he revved it, and winked at a shocked Ryou. "Wait here." He pulled out onto the track. Ryou ran after him, but Bakura grabbed him before he could get onto the track.
"You want to stay here and wait." Bakura said, Ryou growled and pushed him away, and took a few steps away from them and watched as Malik flew by them at top speed.
"This is what Malik does on weekends we race for money and anyone else that thinks they can take us." Marik said. "We hold the best track record time, in this city." Ryou watched as Malik pulled in and came to a stop.
"It's great, it's ready for the weekend." Malik got off and pushed it to them. They all walked back in Ryou walked next to Malik as the other two were on the other side of him and the bike, they started to close the place up.
"Malik do you think it's best that you bring him out with you?" Bakura asked.
"Yeah why not?" Malik gave him a look.
"What if someone notices him, from what Marik told me, I would be careful." Bakura pointed out. Malik glared at Marik.
"I told you not to say anything." He growled.
"It was pillow talk." Marik shrugged, Malik pulled a face.
"I don't want to know." Malik threw his helmet at Marik hitting him in the stomach.
Malik walked to the door with Ryou at his side. "Why didn't Jou show up?" Malik asked.
"He had to help his sister." Marik said. Bakura came running up to Malik and stopped him from going any further.
"Malik, so he really has the ears?" Bakura asked.
"Yes Bakura the ears the tattoo." Malik sighed. "Please I would appreciate it if you all stopped talking about him like he's not even here." Malik said, and Ryou gave Bakura a look.
"I know I'm sorry, it's just not everyday that anyone of us comes across something like this." Bakura said.
"Look I'm going to be late of work, and I have to take Ryou back first and change." Malik said. "Bye." He turned and left, Ryou called out again and ran after him.
Ryou sat on the basin in the bathroom, his ears were flat against his head as he was in the room with the horrid water, and steam danced around him as Malik took a shower. Malik was trying to get Ryou used to being around water even if it meant him just being in the same room, as it was a small break through in itself. "I'll be back late tonight, you'll be asleep." Malik turned off the water, Ryou's ears pricked forward.
"Late?" Ryou watched as Malik reached out a hand and grabbed a towel.
"Yeah I have to work tonight." Malik stepped out with the towel around his hips.
"Work?" Ryou tilted his head to the side.
"Yeah I have to get money so I can live and now I have you." Malik then groaned and Ryou looked worriedly at him. "I have to get a new job."
"Malik's in pain?" He said as he was getting off the basin and walked up to Malik and rested his head on Malik's bare chest.
"No, I forgot to go to the mall to get new clothes for you." Malik blushed a little and moved Ryou backwards.
"I like Malik's clothes." Ryou chippered pulling at his top and Malik laughed.
"But it's good to have your own, and tomorrow we'll go back to my place." Malik started to get dressed, into a white sleeveless top and black pants and boots. And it wasn't long when they were down stairs. Malik grabbed his bag and his keys and helmet.
"Okay Yugi I'm going!" He called out as Yugi walked into the hallway.
"Okay you have a key?" He asked.
"Yeah." Malik nodded and then looked at Ryou. "Now you be good, and I'll see you after." Malik gave his ear a rub and Ryou purred and lent into the touch. With that he was gone out the door. Ryou ran to the window watching Malik push his motorbike out and get on it. Ryou's ears pricked forward. It was just like at the track, Malik gave Ryou a wave and he sped off.
Ryou waited and listened, Malik was going to be back any minute now... as the road only goes around in a circle. "Ryou. Malik's going to be gone for a while." Yugi said as he walked into the room. Ryou's ears fell back against his head.
"Malik?" Ryou sat up more as a car sped by but he slumped in the chair and still had a good view of the outside world and he waited for Malik. Yugi sighed as he got up and sat next to Ryou.
"You know Malik's not the only one that you can hang with and have fun around here." Yugi said and looked around. "How about a game." Ryou looked away and he sighed. After an hour of trying to cheer up Ryou and couldn't he gave up. "Sit there for all I care, and wait for Malik all you want." Yugi got up and stormed out of the room.
Malik ran through the doors getting greetings from everyone he passed. "Malik I want to see you after work." The rather large man said in a green suite and a comb over, and more gold jewellery than any jewellery store in town.
"Okay, Big Al." Malik tied a black apron around his waist, as he scanned the people lined up at the bar for their drinks. The place was alive with music, and dancing it was a bar but every week it was turning into a nightclub last month it was a strip club, this place always changed every so often and Malik didn't mind keeping a second job, it helped with all the little things, and now Ryou. He sighed "Ra I need help." And hoped that he was doing the right thing for both of them.
"Hey bar-keep, a drink." Malik looked up and smirked.
"I thought this place was to low for you to be seen in?" Malik poured them their drinks and placed them on the bar.
"Yeah it is, but low enough for you to work in." Bakura said smirking.
"Yeah, I saw your mom pole dancing over there when I came in." Malik shot back. Bakura broke out into laugher.
"Yeah I thought she worked here, I'm sure it was her last week in the strip show with your sister." Bakura gave Marik a high five and took a gulp of his drink.
"How do you even get in here every time?" Malik asked as he served someone else a drink.
"The same as you work here." Bakura said over the noise, Marik laughed as he lent over the bar and grabbed Malik's hand.
"Let me take you out of his place and we can run away together and have threesomes on the beach of your choice, and get wasted every night." Marik said as Bakura chuckled.
"And you'll buy me a big white three story house in Malabo?" Malik lent towards him on the bar.
"And we'll be the talk of the town. And everyone will bow to us in the streets. As we blow all our inheritance to make our parents heads spin." Bakura said as he threw his arms around both of them. Malik laughed then pushed them both away.
"Drink up and get out." Malik said.
"My love you break my heart." Marik called out fake being hurt with a hand over his heart.
"Is there another?" Bakura gasped in pretended shock and hurt. Malik poured a few more drinks.
"Guys, the fun's over the boss is on the floor." Malik said mixing a drink. Bakura and Marik turned to look, Bakura was the first to turn back and asked.
"So did you bring the kitten with you?"
"No way." Malik said pulling a face at them.
"You left him with the shrimp?" Marik asked.
"I told you." Malik said.
"Yeah, yeah." Bakura said waving it off. "Are you bringing him to school?" Bakura asked.
"He's not for show and tell. No, I don't think that he would be okay with that many people around him." Malik said. "I need a few more days with him." The night went on and soon it was closing time. Marik and Bakura waited for him at the other end of the bar. As the guy named Big Al walked up to him.
"Malik I have to let you go." He said in a raspy voice that would make you think that he was out of breath.
"What? I need this job." Malik said disbelieving what he was hearing, or until he could find another one at least.
"Sorry your under age and I had someone point you out the other night and said you looked to young to work here, he was a teacher of yours, I think he said." He said. "I'm sorry. Candy will give you your pay for the time you have been here." With that he left.
"Yeah, thanks." Malik growled.
"Come on we'll take you home." Marik said as they walked up to him.
Malik walked through the door as he heard the motorbikes take off down the road, he closed the door and locked it. "What am I going to do now?" Malik ran a hand through his hair and then headed upstairs to his room, he opened his bedroom door and walked in he found Ryou curled up in the middle of the bed asleep. He smiled and grabbed a few things and headed for the bathroom, to get the smell of cigarette smoke and alcohol from his body.
It wasn't long when he stepped out, in his boxers and walked back to his room and got into bed instantly Ryou snuggled up to him purring. "Malik" Ryou mumbled as he moved the blankets to see him.
"Hey, were you good for Yugi?" Malik scratched his ear and patted his head.
"Work?" Ryou asked he had missed Malik.
"Not anymore I got fired." Malik closed his eyes. "I have to look for another one tomorrow." Ryou sighed he could sense that Malik was upset and nuzzled into his chest and soon the two fell asleep together.
