Hi there! Here's chapter 4 of my thiefshipping story.
Make sure you read the previous chapters first!

I don't own YuGiOh or the characters. :(


(Marik's POV)

"Marik, I'm not bloody gay!" Bakura yelled. We'd been arguing about this for a good ten minutes.

"Whatever, I still don't believe yo- Oh my Ra! Bakura, we have to eat here! They serve the best vegetarian meals ever!" I said, grinning.

"Ugh. A meal without meat?" Bakura shook his head disappointedly.

"Come on, 'Kura," I begged pulling on his arm, "they sell meals which have meat in too!"

"Well, I thought you meant we'd just be going to a fast food restaurant. Marik, I don't have enough money to eat at a place like this!"

"Look, Fluffy, I will pay for you, okay?"

"You know, you're making this more and more like a date," he said with a chuckle, "what's worse is that you seem to be the one who wears the trousers... Treating me to a meal and all."

"Don't worry, Bakura, it's not a date because I am not gay. I'm totally straight!"

"Okay, okay. Let's just go eat, yeah?"

"Okay," I replied with a grin. We went in. The whole restaurant was decorated for Christmas and it was truly breathtakingly beautiful.

"Wow..." I said as I looked around. Bakura didn't seem to take notice of the bright decorations as he dragged me to a table in a quiet corner of the restaurant. He pulled my seat out like a gentleman and I sat down, heat rising to my cheek. Ra, I hope he doesn't notice me blushing! That would be so embarrassing. I'm not gay! I looked up at Bakura, painfully aware of my red cheeks. He was sat across the table from me, smiling his signature smirk. I sighed, great he'd noticed but, luckily, it looked like he wasn't going to say anything... at least, I thought he wasn't.

"What's up, Marik?" he asked.

"What do you mean?" I said, pretending to be confused by his question.

"Oh... it's just your cheeks got a little red when I pulled out for you," he answered, smirking.

"Oh... umm... I guess I just got a little hot or something," I replied. Great lie, Marik! You should enter a lying competition! Look at him, he definitely believed you there. I mentally patted myself on the back for my amazing lying skills. I then began to look at the menu, in search of something nice to eat.

"Hey, Marik," Bakura said.

"Hmmm?"

"You're always hot."

I dropped my menu and stared at Bakura in shock. That friggin' asshole was smirking at me again! I picked my menu up and hid my most-likely bright red face. "W-what, 'Kura?"

"You heard me."

"Wha- what... What are you saying?"

"That you, my friend, are good-looking."

"Umm... thanks?"

Bakura didn't reply for that. Why did he say that? Did Bakura like me? I felt my cheeks go even redder. Ra, how was he doing this to me? How did he make me feel embarrassed so easily? Why did he constantly give me a fluttery feeling in my stomach? None of this matters! I am not gay! Wait, am I gay? How do I know? DAMMIT BAKURA! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! I shook my head and looked at the menu. I wasn't really very hungry so I decided I would just have a side salad. I dropped my menu, hoping that my blush had gone down. Bakura looked ready to order as well. He stared intently at me and looked like he was waiting for me to say something. I looked away; I wasn't sure how long I could look at him without blushing again. Damn, Bakura, playing with my emotions.

(Bakura's POV)

Marik was avoiding my gaze, I chuckled. Finally, I had confused the kid.

"You ready to order, Marik?" I said, smiling at him.

"Umm... yes," he responded, still not looking at me, "what about you?"

"Yeah," I replied and looked over at a waitress. She walked over to us slowly, blushing as I stared into her eyes.

"You ready to order, sweetcheeks," she said, smiling at me.

"I was hoping to order you but unfortunately, you're not on the menu," I said, winking at her. She giggled. This girl's easy, that was an awful line... I looked across at Marik who had curled his hands into fists. I smirked. Jealous, Marik?

"Oh, you," she said, still giggling, "anyway, what would you and your... friend like to order?"

She looked at Marik with a raised eyebrow.

"I-" I began saying but I was suddenly interrupted.

"Bakura would probably like something with a ridiculous and a disgusting amount of meat in it and I would like a waitress who wasn't such a friggin' WHORE!" Marik yelled, glaring at the waitress. She glared back and then stormed off.

"Why did you bloody do that?" I asked Marik but I already knew why. He was jealous.

"I... uh... I don't know... it's just... never mind! It's none of your friggin' business, Fluffy!" Marik said, meeting my eyes for a second and then looking away. His tone of voice was still bitter and pissed off.

"Marik, you know you can tell me anything, right?" I said, reaching out and holding his hand. My plan is going so well. His eyes widened and he blushed at my touch. I smirked again.

"I know... It's just... can we just forget about it?"

I nodded, letting go of his hand. "Okay, Marik."

A new waitress came.

"Hi, can I take your order, please?" she said and looked awkwardly at Marik, hoping he wouldn't shout at her too.

"Yes, I will have roast chicken and potatoes, please," I ordered and then we both looked at Marik expectantly.

"Umm... can I just have a side salad? And can you apologise to the other waitress, please? I honestly don't know what came over me..." Marik said, looking upset and guilty.

"Okay," the waitress said with a smile and walked away.

"Hey, Marik, don't worry about it," I muttered. He looked at me and smiled.

"Thanks, Fluffy, you're my best friend!"

"You're my best friend too," but you're going to wish that I was more...

We ate our meals in peace and I spent a lot of time looking at Marik without him noticing. He's really quite beautiful. Wait, what the bloody hell am I thinking? He's Marik!

"Hey, Marik, want to watch a movie when we get home?"

He nodded.

We finished and Marik paid and then we headed back to the car so we could call a tow truck.
