I Think It'll Be All Right

DOOM Fangirl: "Yet another chapter! Hooray! Last time, Alister realized, with help from Yura, that he loves Marik, and Marik was depressed, because he believes Alister hates him. Now what?

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh!

When Alister rang the doorbell at the Ishtars' house this time, Ishizu answered.

"Hi," he said, "I'm…"

"I KNOW who you are," the dark woman said, her voice uncharacteristically cold.

"Oh. Um…okay. Can I see Marik?"

"I don't think that's a good idea," she said, and began to shut the door.

"Why?" the redhead asked, pushing on the door so that it stayed open. "Is he sick?"

"No. YOU broke his heart."

"Wh-what?"

"My brother has been miserable ever since the last time you were over here. He seems to think you hate him. The LAST thing he needs is to see you."

"But I…"

"Good-bye," she went to close the door again, but was stopped again, this time by Mai.

"Wait, Baby," she said to her lover. "Alister may be an idiot and kind of a dick, but he wouldn't TRY to hurt Marik. I think I know him better than that."

"But, Mai…"

"Just let them talk to each other."

Ishizu thought this over for a moment, then opened the door for Alister to come in, and told him how to get to Marik's room.

He thanked her, went to said room, and knocked.

"Come in," said a voice that sounded as though it had been crying very much, very recently.

He entered.

He saw Marik, looking at him with sad, wide, wet eyes.

It made Alister want to take the boy in his arms and apologize, and beg for forgiveness.

He would have, except Marik said, "What're YOU doing here?" with hurt in his quivering voice.

"I came…to tell you something."

The blond sniffled and said, "What?"

"I…I'm sorry if I came across…like I didn't like you, because…" He rubbed the back of his head. "I'm really not very good with this sort of thing, but, um…I DO like you…A LOT…A REAL lot…Um…"

Marik got up and went over to the redhead, and hugged him.

Alister took in a sharp breath, not really used to human contact that didn't involve violence, and also hoping that the boy didn't notice he was getting aroused by the contact.

The blond pulled back with a hurt expression on his face.

"You can't even stand to be TOUCHED by me! You don't like me!"

"I DO like you, Marik! I just…I…"

"Stop LYING to me, Alister!" he snapped at the redhead.

"I'm NOT! I like you! I LOVE you! The reason I get like that when you touch me is because it…I…It makes me feel…um…"

The blond got what he was trying to say.

"I love you, too, Ali," he said, but decided he was still a little angry at the redhead for making him wait so long to hear this.

So, he put his hand onto Alister's chest, and slowly trailed it down his chest and sexy belly, loving how the man gasped and shivered, even though he wasn't really touching him in any sort of inappropriate way.

He stopped when he was just above a bulge in the redhead's pants.

"Don't fucking stop!" Alister complained, forcing the boy's hand down.

Outside the door…

"I think it'll be all right, don't you, Baby?" Mai asked Ishizu, who smiled and nodded.
