Wondering why I haven't updated this week until today, or maybe you're here from tumblr because of my post about postponement? I waited until today to update any and all weekly-updated fanfics because today is a special day for a very special someone.

This chapter is a shout out and present to randomgirl40, my fellow fanfic author and thiefshipping fangirl, who's birthday is today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RANDOM!
She's also my online friend and one of my biggest supporters. If you didn't know, she is the reason why this story is here, and why Slenderman is in the fanfic. Basically, you owe the plot to her. Go check out her stuff, but only if you can handle the randomness!

Now back to Ryou and Melvin!

I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!, YGOTAS, Hetalia, the fanfiction site, Bakura's hair, the British language, Slenderman (the game or the abridged version), or any of the character/trademarks in those.

R&R

ENJOY~!

There, they found a fairly normal sight waiting for them.

Well...depending on your definition of "normal".

Melvin was sitting in front of Marik's computer, and Ryou was leaning on the chair behind him looking over Melvin's shoulder. The two of them were laughing.

The thieves looked at the screen. They were on YouTube. They were watching Charlie Bit My Finger*.

Bakura facepalmed. "Of all things..." he murmured.

At the sound, Melvin and Ryou's heads snapped up and they jumped. For a moment, their faces looked guilty, but then they relaxed. "Oh...hello there," Ryou said in a small voice.

"You two aren't...doing anything in here, are you?" Bakura asked accusingly.

"And if we were?" Melvin challenged.

"M-Melvin..." Ryou stuttered. He addressed Bakura. "We weren't doing anything," he said.

"You'd better not be!" Marik shouted. "This is my room, after all. And how did you get onto my computer?"

"We know the password," Ryou and Melvin replied in unison.

"Oh. That's right."

"I assume that you two don't plan to be doing anything that we wouldn't approve of in here, right?" Bakura said expectantly.

"Of course not," Ryou replied. "Why would we?"

"Just checking."

"Wait, where are you going with this, Bakura?" Marik asked.

"We need to talk about what to do about starfish-head over there," Bakura replied.

Melvin glared at Bakura.

Bakura ignored the glare. "Can we trust you two to behave yourselves in here while we talk about some very important things in another room?"

Melvin and Ryou exchanged glances, then nodded.

Bakura eyed them skeptically.

"Oh come on, Bakura," Marik said. "It'll be fine. If they do anything they're not supposed to, the hidden cameras in my room will catch them."

Bakura smirked. "Oh yes. The cameras. I had almost forgotten about them. We'll check the footage and audio when we're done talking." He turned to the door, took in Ryou and Melvin's worried expressions, then looked at Marik. "Let's go."

He walked out. After giving Ryou and Melvin a smug look, Marik followed and closed the door behind them.

Melvin and Ryou looked at each other. "Cameras?" Melvin questioned.

Ryou shrugged. "I had no idea. I've only officially been living here for a week."

Outside the room, too quiet for those inside to hear, the thieves whispered to each other.

"Good call, Marik," Bakura whispered. "Making them think there are cameras in your room will definitely keep them in line."

Marik beamed proudly. "I know," he whispered back. "I'm always thinking two steps ahead of everyone else."

"Well, it should make Melvin think twice about what he does in there, at least. It's not like Ryou would be a bad boy even if there weren't cameras around. But uh..." Bakura's face turned wary. "Of course, there aren't...really hidden cameras in your room...right?"

Marik walked a bit farther ahead. He turned around for an instant to wink at Bakura, then faced forward and continued walking.

Bakura's eyes widened and he gulped.

*Abridged canon: Melvin likes "Charlie Bit My Finger". I try to make that reference every chance I get. Kudos to you if you know what YGOTAS episode that's from.

Next chapter, we have a little fun. "Fun" can mean a lot of things. With Marik and Bakura, "fun" usually means either thiefshipping or arguing. USUALLY!
But again, "fun" can mean a lot of things.

See you next chapter!

BYEEEEEEEEEEEE~!
