So let's try this again. Ryou and Melvin are in a room together, and Marik and Bakura are going to rescue Ryou from Melvin.

But...does he really need rescuing?

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~!

~Several minutes earlier~

"What is the point? That I should automatically know what's going on in Melvin's head?"

"I didn't say that. But you should know some of what's going on. Since he's apparently going to be living with us, you should have been keeping an eye on him through your mind link. In fact, had you been paying attention, perhaps this wouldn't even have happened!"

"WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA! Hold up a second! You're saying that this is my fault?!"

"No. I'm saying that you should keep a better watch on your yami."

Ryou knew what was happening. They had started arguing. Again. He knew that they would be at it for more than five minutes, maybe even ten, before they actually remembered what they had been doing before they had started arguing. And he didn't really want to wait around that long.

"Are they seriously arguing again?"

Ryou looked over at Melvin, who had a bored and unamused expression on his face.

Ryou nodded slowly. "They are. And they're going to be doing so for another ten minutes, most likely."

Melvin's eyes widened. "WHAT?! Ain't nobody got time for that!"

"Apparently they do."

"Well I don't." Melvin looked at Ryou. "Hey. Sorry for trying to kill you. How about we go to your room and wait for them to stop arguing?"

Ryou didn't really want to be alone with Melvin again. But since Marik and Bakura were completely absorbed in their argument, he might as well already be. And since Melvin seemed like he was calm and controlled, Ryou figured that he would be fine. He shrugged. "I guess so. Let's go."

Ryou walked out the door.

Melvin followed, but not before sneakily stealing the Millenium Rod from Marik's hand.

Melvin was on Ryou's bed, lying down with his head on one of Ryou's pillows. He was watching Ryou messing with his Skylanders figures.

"What are those from?" Melvin asked.

"A game that doesn't involve blood, murdering people, or being evil, so don't even think about touching them."

"Okay okay I get it. Calm down."

"I'm pretty sure you know why it's difficult to do that," Ryou said with a side glance at Melvin.

Melvin caught this. "Like I said," he said with a sigh. "I'm sorry for that. And since I don't want your yami or my hikari bitching about it and arguing like they are now about it, I'll just leave you alone and not try to kill you again. But you should have seen that coming. After all, I am insane."

Ryou cringed. "I know." He looked at Melvin apologetically. "And I'm sorry for unintentionally leading you on."

"Yeah. About that. I'm over it. I'm over you. You're no fun anymore."

"Does that mean we still can't be friends?"

Melvin shrugged. "Maybe we can. I'm not the 'friendly' type."

"Oh. Well you can be if you want."

"Yeah okay."

Ryou suddenly walked over to Melvin. He held out his hand. "I'll forgive you and be your friend, if you stop trying to hurt me. And I'll make sure you can stay here, even if they won't want you here anymore after this. Deal?"

Melvin eyed the hand uncertainly. Then he sat up and grabbed the hand. "Deal."

They shook on it.

Then for no reason, Melvin let go of Ryou's hand and started petting Ryou's hair.

Ryou froze. "What the bloody—"

"Your hair is soft. I like it."

Ryou decided to not do anything about it.

Melvin was stroking back and forth near the front of his head. Then...

Ryou suddenly gasped. Then he cringed and groaned. He grabbed Melvin's wrist and moved his hand away from his hair. "Stop that!"

A confused look came on Melvin's face. "Why?"

Ryou let go of him.

The door suddenly burst open, and Marik and Bakura ran in. It gave Ryou slight déjà vu at how many times Bakura burst into a room he was in that day.

"What's going on in here?!" Bakura asked. He was wearing the Millenium Ring.

"Melvin agreed to not hurt me anymore and we're friends now."

Marik's head tilted in confusion. "Wait, what?"

"Hm," Bakura said. "With the way this fanfic has been going, I wouldn't be surprised."

"Can't you just leave me alone?" Melvin asked.

"I think that's the problem," Bakura said. "We're leaving you alone. With Ryou."

"That doesn't count as 'alone'," Ryou pointed out.

"Shut up, former host," Bakura said.

"Oh no!" Ryou exclaimed with an annoyed look on his face. "You'd better not make a habit out of saying that to me! It would be like 'Shut up, Mokuba', only meaner."

"Shut up, former host."

"And so it has already begun," Ryou murmured as he facepalmed.

"You two didn't turn off the computer, by the way," Marik said. "Go do it."

"Sorry about that," Ryou said." He left his room and started walking to Marik's room.

Melvin decided that he wanted to follow.

"Melvin is going to be following Ryou around for a while, isn't he?" Bakura asked Marik.

Marik nodded and watched them walk away. "Unfortunately. He doesn't really have anything better to do. He doesn't like being bored. He may not be sociable, like me, but he's okay it he has someone to watch."

Bakura just shook his head. "You both are weird."

"Shut up, Fluffy." He randomly gave Bakura a kiss in the cheek, then started walking down and out of the hallway. "Be back soon."

"I bloody hope so..." Bakura murmured as he walked to his room.

WILL MARIK'S COMPUTER EVER BE TURNED OFF?!
Probably not. I have yet to write a chapter in which the computer is turned off. And I have like the next five or six chapters written out already.

lolz

Wait a moment...have you noticed a pattern? Ryou and Melvin are in a room together...

I think we all know what's gonna happen next chapter...

See you next chapter!

BYEEEEEEEEEEEE~!
