Phone Call
DOOM Fangirl: "Hey, everyone! It's the next chapter! To recap, Alister had a motorcycle accident, Marik found him and took him to his house, Alister woke up, called Raphael to get him. When Alister was going to leave, Marik asked him for his phone number, Alister reluctantly gave it to him, and left. Okay, then! Let's get on with this!"
Disclaimer: Yu-Gi-Oh! Is not under my ownership…Hmm…Ownershipping…Joey/Red-Eyes Black Dragon? Whatever.
The day after the accident, the house phone of the three former DOOM bikers rang.
Valon answered it, and, within seconds, he said loudly, without bothering to cover the mouth of the phone, "Oi, Al! Some weirdo's on the phone, askin' to speak to "Ali", so I'm guessin' 'e means you!"
Alister snatched the phone from Valon, saying, "You don't have to be so loud, when we're in the same room." Then, he said into the phone, "Hello?"
"Um, A-Ali? I-it's Marik. You know; from yesterday?"
"Where the fuck do you get off calling me "Ali"?" the redhead demanded angrily.
"Oh…Um…S-sorry. I…I just…I think you look more like an "Ali" than an "Alister". I don't know…"
"ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY I LOOK LIKE A WOMAN?" Alister screamed.
Valon, who was listening to his friend's half of the conversation, started to laugh, until Raphael, for the Aussie's own safety, clamped a hand over the boy's mouth.
"N-no! I mean, you, um…You ARE very, um…uh…pretty…beautiful…" Marik decided to stop talking as a growling sound could be heard from Alister's end. "S-sorry. I guess, I just…Never mind."
"Whatever. What did you want?"
"Well, um…I WANTED a date, but…Is that out of the question, now?"
"It was out of the question to begin with!"
"Oh…Well, maybe we could just hang out together?"
"I don't think…"
"PLEASE?"
Alister sighed. He didn't know why, but he didn't want the boy to be too heartbroken. It didn't make sense to him-after all, he usually had no problem telling people that he didn't like them.
So, he did what any self-respecting person would do in his situation…
…He lied and said he was seeing someone already.
Raphael raised an eyebrow, and Valon looked at the Alister as though he had suddenly sprouted another head.
"Oh…Really?"
"Yeah. He and I are pretty serious, too. Not to mention he's REALLY protective and gets jealous real easy. I don't think he'd be too thrilled if I were to hang out with another guy, ya know?"
"Who IS this guy?"
"Huh?"
"What's his name?"
Alister then did something incredibly stupid-he said the first random name that popped into his head.
"Seto Kaiba," he said, then almost smacked himself.
Valon burst out laughing and, this time, instead of trying to cover the brunet's mouth, Raphael dragged him out of the room…before starting to laugh himself.
"You're seeing KAIBA?" Marik exclaimed. The Egyptian couldn't believe what he was hearing!
"Um, y-yeah," Alister continued to lie. "Y-you haven't heard yet, 'cuz, um…We're not public, yet."
"Hmm? But all the times I've hung out with him and the others at the game shop, he's always said he doesn't have and never wants to have a significant other."
"Oh. R-really?" Alister's face was getting warm-he hadn't counted on the boy knowing the CEO personally.
"Yeah. He said significant others can only way you down, and that he has no need for one."
"Um…I'll, uh…I'll have to talk to him about that."
"Alister?"
"Yeah?"
"You don't HAVE a boyfriend, do you?"
"No."
"Didn't think so."
There was a very awkward silence (and a retarded baby was born), before Marik continued, "So, how about it?"
"How about WHAT?"
"Hanging out with me, sometime?"
"Well…"
"Come on!"
"FINE! We…We'll go catch a movie on Friday. If you can't do Friday, it's OFF!"
"I can do Friday!" Marik told him, making a mental note to tell Ishizu he couldn't go shopping with her and Mai on Friday, like he had told her he would.
"Well, um…later, then, Marik."
"Bye, Ali!"
There was a click before Alister could yell at the boy for using the nickname.
"Really, Mate?" Valon, who was back in the room asked.
"'Really', WHAT?" the redhead sighed.
"KAIBA?"
Alister's face turned as red as his hair.
DOOM Fangirl: "And, thus, I end the second chapter. Leave a review! Bye!"
NOTE: When I said that a retarded baby was born, I was not trying to be rude. I was just referring to that old saying, "Whenever there's an awkward silence, a retarded baby is born." I do NOT make fun of retarded people-it's rude, and mean!
