Heya, readers. Thanks for your great reviews, they really make me smile. ^_^
Here's the new chapter, I hope you enjoy it.
Don't forget to review.
I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or the characters.

(Ryou's POV)

Bakura and Marik arrived at school. I nudged Melvin and he burst out laughing as he saw them on the bike. Bakura was hugging Marik tightly around the waist with his eyes squeezed shut. I stifled a giggle; this was the most innocent I'd ever seen Bakura look. I then grabbed Melvin by the hand and dragged him towards our brothers. "Fluffy, you can let go now, the motorbike has stopped," I heard Marik say. Bakura's eyes opened and he looked around. As soon as he saw that other students were giving him weird looks, he quickly released Marik. He then saw me and Melvin, who was practically choking with laughter, head towards him. They both climbed off the bike and Marik leaned against it. Bakura was looking down with slightly pink cheeks.

"So you listened to my suggestion then? When are you guys getting the car fixed?" Melvin asked after he'd stopped laughing.

"I don't know," Marik said, "but I prefer riding my bike than taking that rusty thing."

"I much prefer the car to your bloody death machine!" Bakura muttered, looking at Marik. Marik looked at him and smiled.

"Well, you can just walk then. Or maybe you could get a job and pay to get the car fixed," he said, happy with his argument.

"Where do you work, Marik?" I asked, curiously.

"I work part-time at the museum, Ishizu got me a job there," Marik answered, smiling, "she used to just send me and Melvin money but I felt bad so I asked her if I could do anything instead and she said there was some jobs available at the museum."

So that's where Melvin gets all his money. "Maybe you could get Bakura a job at the museum," I said, smiling at him.

"Umm... Yeah, maybe," Marik mumbled, looking down. He doesn't want to work with Bakura? Bakura looked up at him and asked something I never expected.

"Could you actually get me a job?" Bakura said, inquisitively, smiling at Marik. Bakura seems a lot different lately... when he's around Marik, he's nicer, more awkward, he blushes and now he wants a job? It must be love. I smiled cheerfully. Melvin raised an eyebrow at me and mouthed 'tell me later?' and I nodded. Marik looked at Bakura with surprised eyes.

"Y-you want a job?" He asked.

"Well, you pay for everything... And I need to fix the car..."

Aww, he wants to help Marik pay. Melvin, we most definitely have to get them together... Marik grinned at Bakura and gave him a quick and slightly awkward hug.

"Fluffy, I can't believe you want a job! I'm so happy for you! Um, are you sure you want to work at the museum though?"

"Why? Don't you want to work with me?"

"Um, guys, I think we better go to homeroom... We're almost late..." I said, interrupting their argument. Bakura and Marik looked away from each other, stared at me and then finally nodded. I grabbed Melvin's hand and we all went to homeroom.

(Bakura's POV)

I sat next to Marik in homeroom. Time to find out why Marik doesn't want me to work at the museum... I opened my mouth but I was cut off by the midriff-showing blonde.

"Why don't you sit by your girlfriend Anzu?" He said bitterly, frowning at his desk. I looked at him with eyebrows raised. I thought he was jealous... but I didn't expect him to be so blatant about it.

"Why don't you want me to work with you?" I retorted, avoiding his question. He frowned.

(Marik's POV)

I froze. Why don't I want him to work with me? I like spending time with him but I feel like we're always together... If I spend any more time with him, I'm going to just end up liking him more and I know he doesn't like me- He's going on a date with friggin' Anzu! The school's slut! What if he does work with me? I would never be able to control my feelings for him. I won't be able to keep my hands off him. I let my imagination get the better of me there, I thought back to waking up next to him at Ryou and Melvin's and how weirdly comfortable it was. Focus, Marik, focus. Bakura's waiting for you to answer him. I frowned at the table, trying to come up with an excuse.

"Well, Marik? Why?" He said.

"Because I already have to spend a ridiculous amount of time with you and you would probably damage my reputation at work and you might break something in the museum and-"

"Fine. What if I promise to behave at work? I'll be good. I really need this job, please, Marik," he said, pulling off Ryou's puppy dog eyes perfectly. For a second, I couldn't even recognise him as Bakura. He looked... adorable... and gorgeous. It took a lot of my strength to just not kiss him at that second.

"Fine! I will ask Ishizu if she can get you a job, but don't do that friggin' eye thing..."

"Why? Does it turn you on?" He was definitely Bakura again. He smirked at me and I realised this was even hotter than the puppy eyes. I looked away, shaking my head. We sat in silence and I heard our homeroom teacher rambling on about something or other. Nobody ever pays attention to him.

"What's wrong with spending a ridiculous amount of time with me anyway?" Bakura suddenly asked. He looked confused and kind of hurt. It was clear he had been rethinking our whole conversation.

"Oh, uh, nothing. I just think we're together loads. I don't friggin' know. It's just I... I'm not even sure what I'm saying," I muttered.

"I don't know what you're bloody saying either but if you don't want to hang out with me, just say. I mean, you bloody asked why I was sitting next to you and now you're complaining about us hanging out together, seriously, I couldn't care less what you think about me but I don't want to hang around with some complete wanker who just pretends to be my friend," Bakura muttered, trying to keep himself from shouting.

"B-b-baku-"

"No, don't bother. I don't care. Don't wait for me after school. I'll walk home."

He walked away.

(Melvin's POV)

As soon as the dick had walked away from my brother, Ryou looked at me, nervously. We knew what we had to do. We had to fix this. I didn't want to but I'd do anything for my little Ryou.

"I'll, um, speak to 'Kura... He, you know, isn't too fond of you," Ryou mumbled, smiling sheepishly at me. I knew he hated when Bakura was in a bad mood. That's because he's a complete dick, Ryou, I don't understand how someone as perfect as you can be related to that arrogant, ignorant, sarcastic dick. Seriously, why do Ryou and I always have to do fix for him? I wish he would just fucking die. Oh, I would love to be the one who kills him...

"I'll make sure Marik doesn't like cry or anything," I muttered, reluctantly back. I only do it for you, Ryou. Ryou smiled at me and quickly pecked my cheek. I watched him as he headed towards Bakura, who was now sitting at a desk in the corner of the classroom. I slowly walked over to Marik, who seemed to be in a state of shock.

"So, what was all that about?" I asked, casually. Marik glared at me.

"What does it look like it was about? I just lost my best friend because I stupidly pissed him off!"

"What happened though? What did you do?" I tried to sound concerned.

"I'd rather not talk to you about it, I'm sorry but you don't even care, you're only doing it for Ryou."

"Just tell me, Marik."

"Fine. Friggin' fine. I'll tell you. Bakura got pissed off with me because I told him I didn't want to work with him because I spend a ridiculous amount of time with him."

"Bakura got pissed off over that?" It's so hard not to laugh at this. Bakura, you're so pathetic. Also, Bakura, you should die.

"Yeah, he got offended saying that he didn't care what I thought about him and that he doesn't want to hang out with a complete wanker who just pretends to be his friend."

"He took it a bit to heart, don't you think? That's not really how you'd expect Bakura to react. I didn't think he had feelings. He's more like a robot." I did some robot actions and Marik let out a slight laugh. I'm such a people person...

"I would've got upset if Bakura had said that to me! I can understand why he got upset. It's all my fault. I lost my Fluffy and it's all my fault..."

"Of course, you would've gotten upset! You're a complete pansy, dumbo. And, wait. Did you just call him your Fluffy?" Wow. So Marik definitely has feelings for the dick. Now I can't kill him for two reasons. Bakura's lucky he has connections with two of the few people who I actually care about. Fucking Bakura, I bet he does it just to spite me. FUCK HIM... Haha, I bet Marik would love to...

"Frig! I did call him 'my Fluffy', didn't I? I suppose I can trust you, Melvin... I like him, okay? But I'm not gay... well, except for Bakura. Sometimes I think I lo-"

The bell rang.

Please, tell me Marik wasn't about to tell me that he loves Bakura. I hope it's just a crush.

(Bakura's POV)

Of course, as soon as I walked away from Marik, Ryou headed towards me. I looked at the table in anger. I can't believe Marik. I honestly thought he wanted to be friends with me.

"So, 'Kura, what happened?"

I dead-panned the whole conversation back to Ryou and he listened without interrupting me. Marik would never be able to listen like Ryou- another reason not to be his friend. Also, he bitches about everything I do. Oh, and he... pays my rent, is a great friend and is always there for me. No. He doesn't even like me. He's a lying wanker and he doesn't deserve my friendship...

"Um, 'Kura... Do you think that maybe Marik didn't mean it like that? He was confused with what he was saying... He might've been lying as a cover up. Maybe he has a real reason for not wanting to be with you all the time. I'm sure he does want to be friends. Did you see how shocked and hurt he was when you walked away?"

I sighed. Ryou always knew the right thing to say.

I'll talk to Marik at break, homeroom's almost over and we're in different classes this morning. There are still so many things I don't understand about that guy. Is he definitely gay? Well, that's probably a yes. How jealous is he of my date with Anzu? What is he hiding on his back? And, why really doesn't he want to work together? And I thought Marik was the predictable and easy to read one out of us.

The bell rang.

Everyone went to their first classes.

I hope you enjoyed it. It doesn't really look like the story's going any where, but it is, don't worry... I hope it is anyway...
I make Bakura waaay to emotional- it sounds like he's on his man-period or something. :S
I dislike writing as Melvin, by the way. I don't know if you noticed by how rubbish his POVs are.
Anyway, thanks for reading- please review.
