Hello. Here's 'Roommates' chapter 5.
I don't own YuGiOh or the characters.


Marik settled on the sofa as Bakura put a DVD into the DVD player. Pretty soon, Bakura was sat next to Marik with a remote in his hands ready to turn on the film.

"So, Fluffy, what are we watching?" Marik asked, looking at his white haired friend. Bakura smirked at him.

"We're watching a horror movie, Marik," Bakura answered, his smirk growing. Little did Marik know, thanks to Melvin, Bakura knew that Marik was easily scared by horror films.

"Oh..." Marik said, already looking uncomfortable.

"Well, if you're too scared you can always leave the room."

"HA!" Marik shouted, "I am definitely not scared! I am the least scared person in the world!"

"Okay. Good," Bakura replied, starting the movie. He smiled as Marik eyes widened at the opening of the movie. 'Wow,' Bakura thought, 'I think that watching Marik will be much more entertaining than watching the movie.'

(Marik's POV)

I covered my eyes and screamed. This movie was the worst! Out of all the films we could have watched, why did Bakura have to pick a horror? I noticed Bakura was watching me with one eye-brow raised and I blushed. WHY ON EARTH DOES HE KEEP MAKING ME BLUSH? Ugh... I'm not gay.

"Excuse me, Fluffy, but could you stop staring at me like that?" I muttered, glaring at him.

Bakura looked away, smirking to himself. I kept my eyes on Bakura for a few more minutes, not wanting to look back at the television screen. After a while, Bakura seemed to notice me looking at him so I turned my attention to the screen. In the movie, it was silent but suddenly, something jumped out at the main girl. I screamed again.

"Hey, Marik?"

"W-what?"

"I understand it's hard for you to keep your hands of me but..."

I looked down and realised I was hugging Bakura's waist. I looked up at his face, still shaking because of the movie. He looked extremely amused and his cheeks were slightly flushed. I let go quickly and he winked at me. That friggin' asshole winked at me! I could already feel heat rising to my cheeks so I looked away.

"Sorry..." I mumbled.

I could hear Bakura trying to stop himself laughing but I paid no attention to him. Bakura's acting odd. First, he kept flirting with me earlier, then he offered to watch a movie with me and now he's winking at me! That's really not Bakura-like behaviour. What's going on? Does he- does he like me? I mean, he was blushing when I hugged him so... Oh my Ra... Is 'Kura gay?

(Bakura's POV)

I was desperately trying to hold in my laughter but Marik actually held me out of fear. His face was priceless! I regained my composure and looked at him. He had shuffled as far as possible away from me and was looking away. He was staring at the wall, deep in thought. Every now and then, he'd blush or his nose would crinkle as if he had thought something embarrassing or confusing. I wondered what he was thinking about... probably his sexuality. I chuckled, he still ignored me.

I found myself staring at him with his attractive, violet eyes staring at the wall, his lips that were parted in a way that made them look seductive and delicious and his purple top that showed off his well-toned midriff. I felt my face redden.

Please tell me I did not just check that buggering bastard out! I better not be developing feelings for the in-the-closet bastard! How bloody embarrassing! No. I'm attracted to girls... the only reason I was looking at him like that is because he looks like a girl. I'm not gay! And if I was, I certainly would not go for an effeminate guy like Marik. I mean, with his purple midriff jacket, his eye liner and his most-likely fake tan he looks like a complete-

"I'm going to bed," Marik murmured, interrupting my mental rant.

"Okay, wimp," I retorted, smiling and hoping to start one of our little arguments.

Marik looked at me with a frown and went upstairs.

God, that guy confuses me. I finished watching the film and then went to bed.

So far I've made no progress with getting him to admit he's gay. It's the weekend tomorrow... Maybe I should get Ryou and Melvin to help me out... I smirked and then fell asleep.


I don't really like this chapter very much. Again, I really struggled with Marik's POV and I don't think I did too well on Bakura's either.
Anyway, please, review and give me feedback on how I can improve.
Thanks for reading.
