WARNING:
Kat: Gotta love Aria’s honesty when it comes to what she saw
with Marik and Malik. Joey’s gonna wish
he didn’t lick his fingers clean after cleaning up that bed.
Black Butterfly:
Hayden’s not going to snap out of this.
I was planning on having him commit suicide in the next story, but,
apparently, I’d be killed for it. So, I’m not doing it. *hands Bakura plushie*
Beysie: Aria won’t die.
Robbie will tell Aten in the sequel that he loves him. Joey doesn’t want to face the truth that a
hospital may be the best place for him.
Seto is also in denial.
Valea: Yami was too powerful in the Shadow Realm for her to
handle.
I Is Me: Sekhmet returns here.
Crazy Kins: Robbie’s dad will be really surprised when he
comes home for shore leave next story. ‘Here’s
your tux, dad. We have to be at the church in thirty minutes!’
Lady Elfskye: *hands Aria plushie* Seto and Joey are less than impressed
with those white stains.
Shadow of Light: Aten and Robbie and Aria and Umi get married
in the next story. They do make awesome couples.
Anubiset: Aria likes Robbie, but if he ever hurt Aten, she
would be right there to defend him.
Robbie would never hurt Aten though.
Broken Time: I know, Marik felt shitty about doing it, but he
was all bloodlusted.
Note: This chappie takes place two weeks later.
Creeping Home
Robbie ran down the hall excitedly with a big smile beaming
on his face. He ran into Aten’s room
where the boy was eating his vanilla pudding and watching the television.
“Hi, Aten! Today’s your big day! You’re going home today!”
Aten smiled and finished his pudding quickly. He bounced up
and down excitedly and turned off the television. He nodded excitedly.
Marik and Ryou walked into the room. “Hey,
son! Today you’re coming
home! Excited?”
Aten nodded and reached out for him.
“My boy want a hug? I think I can manage that!”
Marik leaned down and hugged his son, growling in the side of
the boy’s neck. A tiny squeal came out
of Aten as he laughed.
Ryou chuckled and crossed his arms, indulging in the first
sound his son had made in weeks. Aten
gripped at his father’s shirt and pushed against him.
Marik’s hand went to Aten’s belly and began tickling the
child. Aten’s laughter echoed through
the pediatrics ward. “U’AF!” (Stop!)
Marik pulled back and Ryou stepped closer to the bed. “Aten? You talked!”
Aten reached out slowly and grabbed Marik’s shirt. He pulled
Marik down gently.
“I love you, daddy,” Aten whispered in his ear. He wrapped his arm around Marik and hugged
him.
The yami father bit his lip and wrapped his arms around his
son again. “Aten……” A tear fell down Marik’s cheek. “My boy…I’ve waited so long
to hear you say that!”
Ryou stepped behind Marik and put his hand on Aten’s hair and
stroked the white and blond hair gently.
“My precious angel.”
Robbie leaned over and hugged Aten, rubbing his friend’s
back.
“Are you ready to go home, Aten?”
Aten smiled down at his friend. “Sure am!
Father, I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be, my son.
I just want to get you home safe where you belong and where your family
loves you.”
Zira entered the room. “Our little miracle is ready to go
home today. How do you feel, Aten?”
“A little sore, but I can just sleep it off.”
Zira nodded. “I see you’re talking again. That’s good.
I was worried there for a while. You really scared us….and your
parents.”
“I didn’t mean to scare everyone,” the Egyptian boy said,
lowering his head.
“You’re back with us, Aten, and that is all that matters,”
Ryou said, tipping his son’s head up.
Aten wiggled in finger for Ryou to lower his head. Ryou
leaned down and Aten kissed him on the cheek.
“I love you, mother.”
Ryou nuzzled is cheek against Aten. “My baby boy. I love
you, too.”
Zira walked to the other side of the bed. “Let me check
Aten’s vitals again with Katie.”
Katie walked in. “Hi, guys! Hey, cutie! Ready
to go home today?”
Aten nodded. “Yup! Robbie and my parents came to get me!”
The blond looked down at Robbie. “How are you feeling now,
sweetie? Your convulsions died down?”
Robbie looked up at Aten.
“Go on, Robbie. Show Katie how well you can speak
Arabic. Answer her.”
Robbie cleared his throat. “’Andi atouche
bitaa’i itsara.”
Aten and Marik burst out laughing. Aten fell back on his bed, laughing
hard. Marik grabbed the edge of the bed,
trying to stand up. Ryou and Robbie looked around with confusion.
“What’s so funny?”
Aten wiped his eyes. “Robbie…Robbie…” Aten continued to
laugh.
“Robbie just told Katie that his vagina was stolen!”
Aten laughed harder.
Ryou covered his mouth to snicker.
Zira sighed. “Aten, stop laughing so I can get a reading on your heart.”
Aten slowly stopped laughing and went limp on the bed.
Robbie blushed and shifted self-consciously from his good
foot to his bad foot.
“You’ll get a hang of it, Robbie,” Aten snickered.
“Aten Bakari, take a deep breath.”
Aten took a deep breath.
“Good boy. Poor Robbie.”
Katie removed Aten’s IV’s. “My Arabic isn’t good either,
Robbie. Don’t worry. You’ll get it. I know you will.”
The blue-eyed boy smiled at the nurse’s kind words. “Thank
you.”
Aten winced as she pulled out one of the veins in his
arm.
“Sorry, Aten. That one always gives us a hard
time, doesn’t it? We may have to find a
new vein to use next time.”
Zira stepped back. “Aten, your lungs are clear and your scans
turned out fine. No more infection in
your heart, either. You’re free to go
home.”
Ryou stepped towards the door. “You boys stay here. We’re
going to sign the release papers for you, Aten.”
Marik put a bag on Aten’s bed. “There are your clothes,
Aten. Get dressed.”
Marik, Ryou, Katie, and Zira left the room and shut the door
behind them.
Aten shifted on the bed and threw his legs over the
side. “Robbie?”
Robbie looked up at his friend. “Aten….”
The two boys looked at each other for a moment and then
towards the closed door.
Robbie stepped between Aten’s legs hanging off of the side of
the bed. Aten pulled Robbie towards him
for a hungry kiss. Robbie sniffled as he
buried his fingers in Aten’s hair again, balling them into a fist, and
desperately held onto Aten. Aten’s
wandering hands roamed up and down Robbie’s chest, familiarizing himself with
the touch of his boyfriend.
The blue-eyed boy hugged Aten close to him. “I never thought
I’d see you come home, Aten! I’ve been so worried!”
Aten nuzzled his cheek against Robbie. “I’m finally coming
home, Robbie. Sweet Ra, I’ve missed you
a lot!”
Robbie smiled. “So did I….like you
wouldn’t believe!”
Aten shifted off of the bed with Robbie’s help. “I had better
get dressed before my parents come in and find us ‘making out.’”
“Good idea. I don’t
need a trip to the Shadow Realm.”
Aten untied the hospital gown behind his neck and slipped his
arm out. He removed the gown and folded
it neatly. He set it on the bed and
sifted through the bag.
Robbie wiped the drool from his mouth as he stood there
watching his naked friend sift through the bag.
‘MINE’ scarred the skin in Aten’s back, but it didn’t take away from the
beauty of his dark mocha skin. His long
white and blond hair draped down his back like his mother’s.
Robbie stepped up behind Aten, unable to keep his hands off
of him. He stepped up behind him and put
both hands on Aten’s buttcheeks, but the Egyptian jumped and turned quickly,
fear on his face.
He let out a relieved sigh when he saw it was Robbie.
“Robbie….don’t creep up on me like that!”
Robbie shifted his eyes. “Aten, I was just —.“
Aten shook his head. “Please don’t creep up behind me and
touch me like that. It….it scares me.”
“I’m sorry, Aten. I
didn’t mean to scare you.”
Aten grabbed the bag and backed away, keeping his eye on
Robbie. “It’s okay, Robbie. You didn’t know. I get…uncomfortable…when someone sneaks up
behind me while I’m naked.”
“But you knew I was here.
There’s only you and I here.”
Aten grabbed his underwear and slipped it on quickly with
trembling hands. “It’s
okay, Robbie. I know it’s only you and I
here. Still….I get
kinda jumpy when anyone touches me when I’m naked.”
“You had no problem in that house. I touched you. You touched me.”
“But I had underwear on.
That’s different than having nothing on.” Aten slipped a green shirt
over his head. He slipped on his pair of
jeans which had to be held up by a belt.
“Looks like I lost more weight….again.”
Aten zippered his fly and looked up at Robbie, who was
sitting on a chair looking sad.
“Robbie, I’m sorry.
I’m….I’m still a little jumpy,” Aten explained
as he approached Robbie. He kissed his friend on the forehead. “I’m not angry, Robbie.”
Aten kneeled in front of Robbie. “Listen, Robbie. What we did in that house….means a lot to
me.”
“It meant a lot to me, too, Aten.”
“Come on, Robbie. Don’t be sad. I don’t like to see you sad.”
Robbie sighed sadly.
“I’m sorry I scared you.”
Aten smiled. “Don’t worry about it, Robbie! You didn’t hurt me or anything. But you know, Robbie, I…you made me feel
really good. Did I…you know….make you
feel good?”
Robbie returned Aten’s grin.
“Yes, you did.”
“Then no harm done!”
Aten pressed his lips to Robbie again and sat in Robbie’s
lap. The light-skinned boy wrapped his
arms around Aten’s legs and side to hold him on his lap.
“I’m so glad to be coming home,” Aten said, hugging his
friend.
Marik knocked and entered. “Boys, are you ready?”
Aten jumped off of Robbie’s lap and grabbed the bag. “You
bet!”
Ryou and Marik left with the two boys. Aten and Robbie followed behind quietly.
“So what do you want to play when we go home, Aten?”
“Well, I have some paintings I have to get to, Robbie. I really should start them. I’ve been away so long,
I forget what I was painting!”
Marik drove Robbie home and walked him to the door. He knocked as Daniel opened the door.
“Oh, hello, Marik.”
“I’m returning your seed to you, Daniel.”
Robbie limped up to his father. “Hi, dad!”
Daniel ruffled the boy’s hair. “Run along, little soldier.”
Robbie laughed as he limped away. “You know I can’t run,
silly dad!”
“How’s your boy doing, Ishtar?”
Marik leaned against the door. “He talked for the first time in a month
today. That’s a good thing.”
“Oh, hey, that’s great!”
Miranda stood beside Daniel. “Well, Marik Ishtar, to what do
we owe the pleasure?”
Marik’s purple eyes scanned her from head to toe and back to
chest. “Oh, you haven’t had…’the
pleasure’ yet, Miranda. When Navy Boy ships out, I’ll make it a point to….plunge into your
ocean again, Miranda.”
Daniel shook his head. “Marik, do you ALWAYS hit on my wife?”
“Oh come on, Danny-boy. Don’t tell me you didn’t do this
while you were courting her? Nothing’s
wrong with a little fun, right, Miranda?”
The woman smiled at him. “See, Daniel, I told you to keep a
good eye on him.”
Marik looked at Daniel and leaned into him. He touched
Daniel’s cheek with his fingertips.
“He’s not my type, Miranda.
You’re a very sexy man, Daniel, but no man can use his tongue like
Malik.”
Daniel’s hand slapped against his forehead. “Why me?”
Marik grinned as his eye scanned him. “Yes, Daniel, you are a very sexy man. I wouldn’t mind ‘going down below,’ if you
catch my drift.” Marik put his hand on Daniel and ran it down the front of
Daniel’s chest. “I certainly wouldn’t
mind being your Second Mate, either.”
Daniel gave a groan. “Goodbye, Marik.”
Danny turned away, his face blushing red.
Miranda turned to Marik. “Why do you do that to my husband?”
“Hit on him? I
dunno. Hey, I’m testing the waters with
him, Miranda. Besides, admit it. You would love to see me and Danny
together. Hot. Sweaty. Pulsating. Writhing under each other.
Daniel writhing underneath me, begging me to give it
to him harder. Admit it.”
Miranda’s jaw hung open at the thought. She shook her head quickly. “Sorry, Marik. What were you saying before Hot and Sweaty?”
“So, it’s true! You DO
want to see Danny and I in bed together! Admit it!”
Miranda grinned. “Okay….maybe….I’ll
admit it….ONLY if you admit you wear ladies underwear and you like Happy Bear
Fun-Time Jamboree….and you love little fuzzy kittens!”
Marik shifted his eyes uncomfortably. He looked down at the
shadows. “Oh, Hey! Look at the time! I better get my
son home so he can work on his paintings! Bye, Miranda! Bye, Daniel! Bye,
Robbie!”
Marik darted for the car and jumped into the driver’s
seat. He drove the car home.
Aten walked out of the car slowly. He was thinking about his reaction to Robbie
sneaking up behind him. ‘I shouldn’t
have become upset. Robbie doesn’t know
about my grandfather. I shouldn’t have
been….such a coward.’
He grabbed his bag and walked towards the door.
Aria, Bakura, and Malik were waiting outside.
“SQUEE!!!!!! BROTHER! YOU’RE FINALLY HOME! YEAH!”
Aria ran to Aten and threw herself at her brother, hugging
him tightly and covering his face with quick kisses.
“I love you, Aten! I
missed you so badly! My brother! My only brother!”
Ryou and Marik watched as Aten didn’t do so
much as open his arms.
“Hello, Aria. I missed you, too.”
Aria jumped back.
“You’re talking!!!! Aren’t you
excited to see me? To
be home?”
Sekhmet was barking at the living room window.
“Yeah, I’m happy to be home.”
Aten walked past her and into the house.
Bakura approached Ryou. “He’s as exciting as a root
canal. What’s his problem?”
“I don’t know, Bakura.
He was fine when we left the hospital.
Dr. Zira gave me refills on his prescriptions and told me to schedule an
appointment with Chapman at the earliest convenience.”
Malik shook his head. “It’s not like Aten to be so…down.”
Marik stepped to the circle of adults. “Aten just needs to rest, guys. Give him a
couple days to get used to being home again.
Then let’s start pushing panic buttons.”
Aten walked through the door and Sekhmet ran to him. The dog rubbed himself against Aten and
jumped up to lick his face. The Egyptian
boy pet the dog. “Hello, Sekhmet. How are you, boy?”
The dog barked loudly and continued to lick Aten’s face
excitedly.
Aria snapped her fingers. “Sekhmet, no
jumping!”
The dog tucked its tail behind his legs and scurried off.
“So, Aten, what do you want to do? Play?”
“No, I want to go upstairs and check my room.”
Aria followed her brother upstairs. He entered his room with a heavy sigh. He put the bag down on the ground and walked
over to his paintings.
“I bet you missed your own room, huh?”
Aten flipped through the extra large and small canvases. “Yes. I did.
Feels good to be home in my….safe….room.”
Aria walked up to her brother. “I’m really glad you’re home,
Aten.” She kissed him on the cheek. “I’ll let you get settled.”
Aria closed the door behind her. Aten turned and looked at his bed. His monkey plushies covered the foot of the
bed. He sat on his bed and grabbed his
toy monkey with the cymbals. Parts of
him were black from the fire from which he and his family barely escaped. Aten pulled the string and the little monkey
clanged its cymbals.
A tiny smile crept onto the boy’s face.
This was his favorite toy.
Before he knew his grandfather, he had this little piece of
happiness. The boy took his favorite
childhood toy and hugged it.
“Bananas….I’ve missed you terribly!”
He kissed the toy monkey and set it on the bed. He jumped up and went to his underwear
drawer. He sifted though and saw a
picture he drew of himself and Robbie.
Aten and Robbie were laying naked
together, wrapped in each other’s arms.
A white sheet covered their genitalia from view. ‘If Only….’ was
written in calligraphy on the top.
Aten returned to the bed and laid on
his side. He looked at the sketch. ‘Will
this ever be Robbie and I? If I am
afraid of him, how could we be any more than this?....I’m
such a coward!’
Aten threw the picture on the floor and sobbed into the
pillow. ‘How could I ever have him…….if
I react like this? Robbie….I’m so sorry! I
didn’t mean to make you cry.’
Aten wept into his pillow. With a clenched fist, he slammed
the bed’s mattress angrily.
“DAMN MY GRANDFATHER!
DAMN YAMI!”
He slammed the mattress again with fury. “WHY AM I THE TARGET OF EVERYONE
Aten sobbed louder
into the pillow. “I WANT to be
loved! I WANT to be touched! I WANT a normal life!”
Aten sniffled into his pillow and raised his head to grab a
tissue. “Who am I kidding? I’m the son of two men! I’m less yami than my sister is. My father has an odd affection for the
Millennium Rod. There’s nothing ‘normal’
about anyone in this house.’
He looked at the picture of himself and Robbie on the
floor. He sighed and picked up the
picture.
Aten loved this picture. It was how he always wanted to be
with Robbie. He thought about Robbie
being with him and touching him. He
enjoyed Robbie’s touch, but could he ever bring himself to fully enjoy the
experience of Robbie?
Aten took an eraser and erased ‘If Only…’
at the top of the page.
“I was with Robbie….I know I love him. I just….I wish that we
could be more.”
Aten grabbed his pencil and sketched ‘I Wish…..’ above the
picture. He set it on his bedside table.
“I love you, Robbie,” Aten whimpered as he buried his face in
his pillow. “I want to be with you so
badly! I don’t want to be afraid of your
touch. But I don’t know what to do about
it.” Aten sniffled and laid his head on the pillow. “We’ll be together, Robbie…no matter what. I know we will.”
Aten closed his eyes and fell asleep on his bed.
************************************
The phone rang and Marik picked up the phone. “Ishtar-Itemri Residence.”
[Marik?
Is Ryou there?]
Marik looked at the phone with a raised eyebrow. “Moneybags? What’s wrong?”
[I need to speak to Ryou.]
“Ryou?
It’s Seto.”
Ryou took the phone and sat on the couch. “Hello, Seto.
What’s up?”
[Ryou…..*sniff*]
“Seto?
What’s wrong?”
[Hayden….He’s getting worse.]
“What has he done?”
[Ryou…he tried to kill Joey last night. He shoved Joey into the fireplace.]
“Oh my!
Was Joey harmed?”
[No, we extinguished the fire before it could spread.]
Ryou sighed in relief. “Oh, thank gods! Was anyone else hurt?”
[No, Jaimen was a little shaken, but he’s okay.]
“I’m sorry to hear about this, Seto.”
[Ryou, I never knew it would get this bad with Hayden. I don’t know what to do with him.]
“Seto, he needs help.
Take him to Dr. Chapman. Chapman
has always helped Aten in the past. I
know he helped Hayden in the past, too.
I have to make an appointment for Aten anyway. I was just looking up his number when you
called.”
[Aten’s home?
I bet he’s happy to be home.]
Ryou sighed and crossed his legs. “He’s less than
ecstatic. He seems very….withdrawn.”
Seto sighed. [Where is he now?]
“He shut himself up in his room. I don’t know what he’s doing up there.”
[Right now, Ryou, just give him some time.]
“What if he’s up there writing another suicide note?”
[Ryou, I don’t think Aten would try that mess again.]
Ryou shrugged. “I don’t know.”
[Give him some time to think things through. He’s probably tired right now.]
“Malik?
Can you go upstairs and check on Aten?”
Malik looked up from the laundry he was folding. “Sure. I
washed some of Aten’s clothes.”
Malik picked up some shirts and carried them up the
stairs. He stopped in front of Aten’s
door and didn’t hear anything. He slowly
turned the knob and found Aten curled up on his bed asleep. “Poor little chibi….so tired.” Marik put the laundry on Aten’s bureau and
looked at the bedside table.
He looked at the picture of Robbie and Aten holding each
other in their arms with ‘If Only..’ at the top. ‘Oh my….Aten. I can’t tell anyone about this. This is Aten’s business.’
Malik crept out of the room.
He returned downstairs. “He’s fast asleep on his bed.”
“Thank you, Malik. He’s asleep now, Seto.”
[He needs his sleep, Ryou.
Just let him rest.]
“I will. I don’t know
what to do with him, Seto. I know what
he’s feeling right now.]
[I know you do, Ryou. You’ve been….We’ve been there together,
love. I know you can handle Aten. But Hayden….there’s a challenge. Tomorrow, we’re coming back home. I have to begin looking for a tutor for Hayden.
He can’t go to school like this. Dr.
Chapman will be coming to see Hayden tomorrow.]
Bakura came out of the kitchen with the phone number to
Chapman’s. “I found the number, Ryou.”
“Okay. Seto, don’t give up.
Our boys can’t afford for us to give up on him. If you need us to take Jaimen for little,
just let me know and we’ll make room for him.”
[Thank you, Ryou. I….I
really appreciate your help.]
“I wish I could do more, Seto. I have to get dinner ready for my
family. I have to grill some chicken for
Aten. It’s going to feel odd to cook for
four people again.”
[In speaking of that….Jeanie told us she’s expecting
triplets.]
Ryou smiled and gasped. “Triplets! Oh that is awesome! Multiple births are such a joy!”
Aria ran up to him with a bottle of nail polish. “Mother, can
you open this? It’s stuck tight.”
Ryou put the phone between his ear and shoulder. He opened
Aria’s nail polish.
“There you go, baby girl.”
Aria kissed Ryou’s cheek and scurried up the stairs. “Thank you, mother!”
“Mokuba must be excited about this, Seto!”
[We’re all still in shock.]
“I’m sure it’s a surprise, Seto, but you will adjust. It’s going to be a lot of work and there will
be times when Mokuba and Jeanie will need some time away from the kids. They will work all of this
out.”
[I hope so, Ryou.]
“Seto….remember when Bakura died from
the Yami Virus?”
[Yes?]
Ryou bit his lip and took a deep breath. “Seto, if you need…..you know….to spend a
night with me, I’m sure Bakura won’t mind.”
[…………]
“Seto?”
[I’d really like that, Ryou.]
Ryou nodded. “I’d like that, too.”
[I’ll be home tomorrow.
Maybe tomorrow night we can fit it in.]
“I’ll try. It all depends on how things are here with Aten.”
[Okay.]
“Okay. Bye, Seto.”
[Bye.]
Ryou hung up the phone with a sigh.
“How is moneybags?” Bakura asked, nibbling on a piece of
cheddar cheese.
“Hayden tried to murder Joey.
He shoved him into the fire in the fireplace.”
Bakura’s eyes widened. “You serious?”
“Yeah, very serious.
Tomorrow night, Seto and I are going to spend some time together. I’m going to lay with him for a bit.”
“Okay, baby,” Bakura said kissing Ryou’s cheek.
Ryou wrapped his arms around Bakura’s shoulders. “I love you,
baby.”
The yami put his hands on his husband’s hips. “Same here, beautiful.”
Bakura leaned down and kissed his husband’s lips. Ryou moaned into the kiss and pressed himself
against Bakura.
The yami held his lover close as he slipped his tongue beyond
Ryou’s lips. Ryou raised his hand and
fisted his fingers through the white spiky hair.
Ryou pulled Bakura’s head down and lovingly sucked on his
yami’s earlobe. Marik stepped into the
doorway and threw a peanut into his mouth. He leaned against the doorway and
watched Ryou and Bakura touch and kiss each other.
The yami raised an eyebrow as Malik stepped beside him. The blond turned to his hikari.
“Oh what the hell! May as well join
the party.”
Marik threw the peanuts behind him and grabbed Malik. He
pulled his husband near him and kissed him deeply. Sekhmet ran behind Marik and started eating
the peanuts off of the floor.
Aria ran down the steps. “Mother, I can’t open my……”
Aria stopped short at the bottom of the steps. His mother was busy sucking on Bakura’s
earlobe. Marik had Malik pinned against
the doorway to the kitchen, kissing him hungrily.
Aria put her hands on her hips. “Hey! Men!”
The four men stopped.
“Yes, honey?”
Aria shook her head. “Geeze….why don’t you four get a room or
something?”
Ryou blushed. “Sorry, dear.
What do you want?”
“A therapist?”
“You never minded before, Aria,” Bakura said.
Aria shook her head
and walked into the kitchen. “Nevermind.” She
poured herself a glass of water. “Where’s Aten?”
“He’s sleeping, Aria,” Malik said.
Aria sighed. “Okay….I guess I’ll
wait outside on the swings for him to wake up.”
Aria opened the back door.
“Come, Sekhmet….you can keep me company.”
The Boarder Collie ran outside.
Ryou sighed. “Maybe I should go talk to her,” Ryou said.
Malik looked at the clock. “I have to start dinner.”
Marik approached Bakura. “So, now what?”
“Seto was saying that Hayden attacked Joey.”
“Holy shit!”
Bakura nodded. “I know. I can’t believe that Hayden would do
that!”
Marik sighed. “Think about it, Itemri. Aten could be like that. Both boys reacted to the same situation a lot
differently. That could be our boy
attacking us.”
“I don’t want to think about that, Ishtar. I’d hate to have to defend my self against
Aten. I’d end up hurting him
unintentionally.”
“Aten wouldn’t stand a chance against us, Bakura.”
“I know.”
Bakura grinned. He reached out and pulled Marik close to
him. “Tomorrow night Ryou is going over
to Seto’s to have a little cuddle. What
do you say you and me go out for another romp at Seto’s little lovenest?”
Marik grinned and gave a playful lick at Bakura’s lip. “Didn’t get enough the other night when you
pounded me into the piano?”
Bakura grinned. “Maybe
we’ll try for another encore tonight. What do you say?”
Marik gave a little growl and buried his face in Bakura’s
neck. “Damn, you are bad!”
“’Bad’ is my middle name.”
“Wait…what about the kids?”
Marik scratched his head. “I’ll leave the Millennium Rod with
Malik. This way he’ll be protected. And we’ll be free to take a ride on the wild
side.”
“Then when Ryou goes to Seto’s, we’ll have a nice evening
with Malik.”
Marik snickered. “Does ‘a nice evening’ include candle wax,
Malik, and rope?”
“It can. I see nothing wrong with that.”
The two yamis grinned devilishly at the unsuspecting Egyptian
hikari peeling potatoes.
“Definitely rope and candlewax,” Marik grinned as he licked his lips,
his eyes admiring Malik’s sculpted body from behind.
Malik blinked as he looked down at the potato in his hands.
He could feel both yami’s eyes on him, scrutinizing him. ‘Those two are up to no good again.’
***********************************
The family dinner ate dinner quietly. Aten cut his chicken with the sharp
knife. He looked at it with deep
contemplation.
Ryou watched him look at the blade. “Aten,
honey? Your dinner is going to
get cold.”
Aten bit his lip and started cutting his meat quietly.
Aria and Bakura tore into their mostly raw meat. Aria licked his lips as the blood seeped from
the meat in her mouth. “This is great
chicken, mother!”
“It’s really easy to make,” Ryou said with a smile. “Aten, how is your
chicken?”
Aten looked at the white meat on his fork. It steamed from the heat and cooked well
done. He sighed as he looked at his
fork.
“Aten, how is your meat?”
“Good, mother,” he said placing the meat into his mouth.
Malik scooped a spoonful of corn into his mouth. “It’s good to have the whole family back together
again for dinner,” he said when he smiled.
Aten looked up. “It is good to be home. At least nobody hits anyone at the dinner
table.”
Marik and Ryou exchanged worried glances. “Aten, did someone
hit you when you ate?”
“Vinnie hit Robbie and made him eat off of the floor.”
Aria swallowed and shifted her eyes uncomfortably. Malik and Bakura swallowed what they had in
their mouths.
“Nobody hit you, did they, Aten?”
Aten shrugged. “I don’t know.
I don’t remember much.”
“Aten, honey, nobody is going to do that to you here.”
“I know. I’m…I’m glad
it doesn’t happen here.”
Marik put his hand on Aten’s shoulder. “We don’t do that
here, Aten. We’re a family, son.”
Aten dropped his fork. “I love my family!”
Marik stood up and brought his sobbing son into his
arms. He turned his head and looked at
Ryou.
Marik kissed Aten’s forehead as the boy hugged him
tightly. “Come on, son. Your dinner’s
going to get cold. We don’t want that,
do we?”
“No,” the boy squeaked.
“Come on, son. It’s okay. You’re
home now.”
Bakura reached out and took his husband’s shaking hand.
“Father, tonight after my bath….can we….can we….”
“What do you want, son?
Just ask me.”
Aten gave a snicker as he wiped his eyes. “This is going to
sound so childish!”
Marik matched his slight smile. “What does my boy want?”
“A cuddle after my bath?”
Marik hugged Aten again. “You’re never too old for a cuddle
with your old man, Aten. Tonight after your bath, just you
and me.”
Aten sniffled. “Okay.”
Marik sat down at his seat.
/Even at twelve years old he wants a cuddle with you?/
Marik raised his eyes as he heard the inquiry from his
hikari.
//Hey, that’s a good sign, Malik. If my son needs a hug, I won’t reject the
poor kid.//
Marik returned to his chair.
“I’m sorry, everybody,” Aten said quietly.
“Don’t be, Aten.
We’re just glad you’re back with us.”
Aten gave his mother a little smile. “This chicken is really
good.”
“There’s my smile!” Ryou smiled at his son.
Aten smiled wider.
Malik gasped. “He’s smiling!
Take a picture!”
Bakura jumped out of his seat. “I’ll get it!” He ran into the living room and returned with
the camera. “Smile, Chibi Marik!”
“Daddy Bakura!” Aten laughed.
“Nope!
Smile!”
Aten smiled bigger.
“BIGGER! Aria, get in
there! Ryou, get in there! Get between your kids. Smile! Malik, Marik,
you get in there, too. Now, Everyone say ‘Millennium Rod!’”
“MILLENNIUM ROD!” Aria, Aten, Malik, and Ryou smiled
as Bakura took the picture.
Marik’s grin revealed his sharp canines that looked exactly
like his son’s.
Bakura grinned. “Another picture to add to
the Ishtar-Itemri Family Album!”
“Great! Now let’s eat our dinner before it gets cold,” Malik
said returning to his seat.
After dinner, Aten took his bath. He sat in the warm water and looked down at
himself under the water. He wrung the
washcloth out and put the soap in the washcloth. He lathered the washcloth up and washed
himself down.
He washed his arm, his legs, his chest, his stomach, his feet and on his back where he could reach.
Aten had only one place left.
He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. ‘Gods, this feels so wrong!’
Aten washed himself down and tossed the soaking wet washcloth
in the laundry basket. He grabbed the
soap. “Touched myself….so dirty….trying to clean
myself….dirty, dirty, dirty.”
He washed his hands thoroughly and dipped them back into the
dirty water. He unplugged the drain and
stood up. He grabbed the dry towel and dried himself off. He dressed in his pajamas and brushed his
teeth. He ran into his room where his father was waiting.
“I’m going to bed after this, father.”
“Tired?”
Aten nodded as he jumped onto the bed. “Yeah,
kinda tired.”
Aten sat on Marik’s lap and sighed. “Sorry if this is really
childish. I didn’t think I would ever do
this anymore.”
Marik snickered. “Well, I don’t know how much longer I can
put you on my knee.”
Aten snickered. “Probably not much longer. I’m going to be thirteen soon.” Aten blushed red. “I feel….I feel like this
is childish.”
“Aten, this is me. If
you don’t feel comfortable with this, we can stop.”
Aten shook his head. “No.
It’s okay.”
Aten rested his head against Marik’s shoulder. ‘Father makes a good point. ‘If you don’t feel comfortable with this, we
can stop.’ Robbie asked me if I was
comfortable in that room when we were touching each other. He said we could stop if I didn’t feel
right.’ I know my father loves me. Does that mean Robbie….MIGHT love me, too? Dr. Chapman said that people who love each
other don’t hurt each other.’
Aten yawned as he started to close his eyes. He could vaguely feel Marik rocking his light
body in his arms.
Marik kissed Aten on the forehead.
Aten’s eyes fluttered as a small smile crossed his lips. ‘Father loves me. That’s what matters now.’ The boy yawned and
he went limp.
Marik tucked Aten into bed and put his favorite monkey toy
under the sheets with him. The boy let
out a quiet snore as he fell asleep with a smile.
The blond yami looked down at his sleeping son. “I’m glad to have you home, son.”
Marik crept out of Aten’s room and closed the door behind
him. He ran to his bedroom and opened up
the side table drawer for a bottle of lube.
With a devilish grin, he grabbed the handcuffs, vibrator, and ball gag.
He placed it in his black bag and ran down the stairs.
“Goodbye, Ryou.
Goodbye, Malik.”
“You boys behave,” Ryou said as he noticed the black
bag.
“Oh, Malik?
Give Bakura a nice slap on the ass for me, okay?”
Bakura grinned. “You can do it now if you like,” he joked as
he bent over in front of Ryou.
“Please, dear, I’ve seen enough of your pretty ass in the
past two days to last me two lifetimes!
It’s time someone else took a crack at it.”
Marik, Malik, and Bakura covered their mouths as they roared
with laughter. Aria stepped out of the
kitchen with her bowl of ice cream watching the men laugh so hard their faces
were turning red.
She shook her head. “It’s so hard being the only girl here
sometimes. I can’t understand you guys
sometimes.”
She disappeared into the kitchen.
Bakura staggered to his feet. “Okay, Ryou! I’ll let Marik take a crack at me….sweet
gods, you are so bad!”
Ryou laughed. “According to my memory, Bakura, you didn’t
marry me because you thought I was good.”
“So right you are,” Bakura said kissing him on the lips.
“Bye, Marik!” Malik said kissing his yami goodbye.
“Goodnight, Aria!” Bakura yelled.
“Yeah, goodnight, daddy!” she called from the kitchen, too
focused on her ice cream.
Marik and Bakura ran out the door like two kids up to no
good.
****************************
Bakura and Marik climbed up the ivy on the walls protecting
the Kaiba summer home. The couple
scurried through the shadows to the servants’ entrance. They picked the lock
with the Millennium Rod and hurried in, closing the door behind them.
“So….waterbed again?”
Marik tore open Bakura’s shirt hungrily, possessing the other
yami’s lips in a hungry kiss.
Bakura ran his hands under Marik’s shirt and began running
his fingers over the yami’s nipples, teasing them to hardness.
Marik grabbed Bakura’s belt and pulled at it. “I want you inside
me, Itemri….I need you.”
Bakura snickered. “Good, because I was
about to say that after the last two nights with Ryou, nobody is going near
there for a while. He’s an animal!”
Marik fell to his knees in front of Bakura. “Let me show you
how much of an animal I can be, too.”
Marik removed Bakura’s belt and pulled down his jeans with a
quick motion. Bakura threw back his head
as he felt Marik swallow around him.
Bakura let out a heavy moan as he felt his lover’s moist heat surround
his length.
The white-haired yami fisted his hair through Marik’s blond
hair as he fought not to bury himself deep into Marik’s orifice.
The blond licked the underside of the hardening flesh and
teased the head with his tongue slowly.
Bakura’s breaths came in sharp gasps for air as his body and
mind swam in the sensations his lover was giving him.
Bakura pulled Marik up and looked him into the eyes, lust
burning inside him. “I don’t want to
come for you so quickly. Upstairs. Now.”
Bakura and Marik shed their clothing as they ran up the
stairs. They ran into Seto and Joey’s
bedroom.
Bakura pushed Marik on his back and heard a scream.
Another scream filled the room.
The light turned on at the other side of the bed.
Joey’s eyes widened. “BAKURA!”
Seto looked beside him and saw a naked Marik laying beside him. “OH MY GOD! MARIK!”
Marik grinned with pride. “Yeah, I know. I hear that a lot
about my size.”
“What are you two doing in my home? In my room? In my bed?....NAKED?”
Bakura crossed his arms. “It’s not like you’ve never seen a
man naked before, Seto.”
Seto closed his eyes. “This is a dream…this is a dream…..”
Marik snickered. “You dream about Itemri and I naked?????
Wow. I never knew you cared,
moneybags. So, tell me….do you find us irresistible
or downright fuckable?”
“Why were you here?”
“Just…umm…breaking your waterbed in
for you. That’s
all.”
Joey turned pale. “You mean that white stuff…on the bed..and wall….
“And Dining Hall table….”
“And piano…”
“Was……”
Bakura grinned. “That’s right, moneybags.”
Joey grew faint. He was licking his fingers trying to clean
the stains. He wavered and fell forward,
draping himself over Seto and his face falling on
Marik’s lower abdomen.
Footprints hurried down the hallway when Mokuba stood at the
doorway. “Seto! I heard a scream and….” His jaw dropped and his eyes widened. Seto looked down at Joey’s head draped over
him and laying in a compromising area of Marik’s body. Marik and Bakura were both naked.
“Mokuba! This isn’t what it looks like!” Seto
tried to explain.
Mokuba closed his eyes as he staggered back to his room. “I’m
sorry, eyes….I’m sorry, eyes….I’m sorry, eyes…..”
Mokuba slipped into bed with Jeanie.
“Mokuba, is Seto alright?”
“Jeanie? Do me a favor?”
“Yes, baby?”
Mokuba blinked. “Take off your top for me, please? I need to look at something beautiful.”
Jeanie removed her top that revealed her swelling
breasts. Her belly was now a little
bulge.
“Jeanie, can we make love now?”
“Moby, it’s…..
Jeanie was stopped by Mokuba’s lips on hers and his hands
caressing her pregnant belly.
“I love you, Jeanie,” he said through the kiss.
Back in the Kaiba Master Bedroom, Seto had helped Joey lay
back on his side of the bed.
“What were you two doing having sex in my mansion WITHOUT my
permission?” the CEO raged.
Bakura crossed his arms. “I’m a thief. I can get into
anywhere undetected.”
Marik shrugged. “I’m just as bad as he is. Point being?”
Seto growled. “Getting in here? You shouldn’t even be on the premises without
my authorization!”
Bakura held up his hands. “Okay, Seto. So you don’t get your
thong in a bunch, how about we ask you permission when we want to use the
summer home so this way, Marik and I can make hot, sweaty, pulsing, begging,
deep penetrating, masochistic love to each other and our husbands?”
Seto shuddered. “Please don’t remind me of that. I ended up scraping those stains….” Seto
stopped. “Who came on my table?”
“Oh, that would be me,” Marik said. “I was pounding Bakura like a jackhammer.”
Seto looked at his right hand. “I’ll have to chop this hand
off now.”
“Don’t tell me you two didn’t know what those stains were!”
Bakura laughed. “You of all people
should have known, Seto.”
“Bakura, I do not appreciate my privacy being invaded!” Seto
barked.
Joey stirred. “Seto?”
Seto held Joey’s hand. “How do you feel, love?”
Joey’s eyes had a hard time focusing. “I had an awful
dream….Marik and Bakura were naked in our bed with us…and….” Joey looked over.
“The nightmare continues.”
Seto turned to Marik and Bakura. “You both should leave. And guys, I never want to see you naked
again. I’ve got enough horrors in my
life without having to see you guys with no clothes on.”
Bakura turned to Seto almost with a glare in his eye. “Well, Seto, I know you still have your eye
on Ryou. Think of it this way, I know
you wouldn’t be disgusted if Ryou were standing here naked. How much you forget, Seto Kaiba! I have Ryou’s body….just with my own scars
from my previous lifetime. So, if you
consider my naked body a ‘horror,’ just remember that you are also talking
about Ryou’s body in that fashion….and that, I do not appreciate. Goodnight, Seto Roka Kaiba.”
Bakura turned and walked out of the room angrily, his hair
twitching and spiked. ‘How dare Seto call Ryou’s body a ‘horror!’ He doesn’t know the meaning of horror until
he spent one day in Yami’s dungeon back in
Marik followed behind, grabbing their clothes. “Bakura, Seto
didn’t mean it.”
Bakura stopped. “I don’t like anyone talking about Ryou’s
body like that!”
“Seto didn’t mean it, Bakura.”
“Like hell, he didn’t!
I don’t need Seto talking that way about my husband!”
Marik grabbed Bakura’s arms. “I know you have Ryou’s body,
Bakura, but there are differences! Seto
loves Ryou, you know that. Look, he just
had one hell of a shock. Let’s just grab
our stuff and go home. Okay?”
Bakura growled. “Fine. You’re right.
Let’s go home.”
Marik and Bakura returned home, the white-haired yami quiet
and introspective.
*********************************
Marik and Bakura entered the home and found the lights were
out downstairs. Upstairs the hallway
light was on.
“Our Lights are still awake.”
Bakura opened up his mindlink to Ryou and felt a wave of
desire fill him. “Oh, they’re awake
alright! Come on!”
Marik followed Bakura upstairs and stopped at Bakura’s
bedroom door.
[Malik….gods, baby….more….]
Bakura licked his lips and his hair spiked. “Our Lights are
together, Ishtar. What do you say we
take Aria’s advice from this afternoon and get ourselves a room?”
Bakura opened the door slowly and saw Malik slipping into
Ryou with a soft moan. The Egyptian boy
leaned over to kiss the other Light’s honey-sweet lips.
Bakura slowly opened the door and Malik turned his head.
“Sorry, can we come in?”
Ryou turned his head. “Bakura? Home so early? Gods, Malik….feel
so good….”
Bakura and Marik proceeded to strip, much to their Light’s
amazement.
When finished, Bakura laid beside Ryou on the bed.
“Does Malik feel good, Ryou?” Bakura asked with his lips
inches from Ryou’s.
“Yes….he feels good.”
Bakura leaned down and kissed his husband on the lips, his
hands drifting over the beautiful body.
The yami brushed his hand over Ryou’s nipple and slowly excited it to
hardness with his thumb.
Marik straddled Ryou’s chest carefully and kissed his
hikari’s lips. The blond hikari embedded
himself in Ryou’s body and remained still as he suckled on one of Marik’s
already-hard nipples.
Bakura’s hands drifted lower on Ryou’s body and wrapped his
hands around Ryou’s length. With a
gentle hand, he pumped his lover’s manhood, taking care not to hurt him.
Malik kissed lower on Marik’s body until he came to his
weeping length. Malik began moving
inside Ryou as he drew on his yami’s hardening flesh.
“Malik……sweet
Ryou broke the kiss to quicken his breathing. His inner channel clung tightly to Malik’s
manhood, making Ryou’s body tremble with desire.
Bakura’s hand left Ryou and he started to stroke
himself. He reached over and grabbed
some Peach oil from his bedside table.
He spilled some oil on his hand and let the silky-smooth oil
cover his manhood. Ryou watched Bakura
as he yami touched himself.
Bakura’s hips raised into his grasp as the instinct to bury
himself into his own grip became uncontrollable. The yami took more of the oil and shifted
behind Malik.
The blond hikari moaned around his yami’s arousal when he
felt something wet touch his entrance.
The object probed around the entrance and slipped inside until it was
buried within his channel.
Marik moaned and looked down at Bakura preparing Malik. His hikari’s desperate motions stopped as
Bakura prepared him.
A disappointed whimper came from Ryou below.
“Malik?
Why did you stop?”
The Egyptian could only give a muffled moan in response.
Bakura added a second finger into Malik’s entrance,
stretching him gently, and careful not to harm him.
When the hikari started thrusting back against the fingers,
Bakura kneeled behind him and slipped his arousal into the Egyptian hikari.
Malik thrust back against Bakura and forward to absorb his
yami. Ryou whimpered in pleasure as the
motions of Malik intensified.
Bakura slowly moved into Malik and slowly increased his
pace.
Marik watched Bakura taking Malik and grinned, enjoying what
he was seeing. The Egyptian hikari
groaned as he penetrated Ryou harder, hitting the man’s prostate with each
desperate movement. Ryou grabbed the
iron headboard of the bed as Malik slammed into his prostate, coaxing him to
release.
“Malik…..I need it, Malik….”
Marik grinned as he could hear Ryou’s whimpers and feel the
quickened breath of Malik.
“Come, Malik,” Bakura moaned as he hit against Malik’s
prostate. “Come for us…..Come on,
baby…That’s it….Just a little more.”
Malik gave a final moan around Marik’s length as he emptied
himself into Ryou’s body. Bakura threw
his head back and spilled his release into the Egyptian hikari.
Marik thrust into Malik and growled his release into Malik,
the hikari swallowing every drop of his essence.
The four men panted as they caught their breath. Marik moved off of Ryou and Bakura backed off
of the bed. Malik slipped out of Ryou
and laid beside the other hikari.
Bakura slipped behind Malik and Marik slipped behind Ryou.
The yamis cuddled against their lovers gently placing a kiss
by their ears.
“How was your trip to Seto’s?” Malik asked.
“They were at the summer home,” Marik answered.
“Oh, sorry to hear that, ‘
Bakura nodded. “Yeah, it has been, Ryou.”
Marik smiled at Malik half-asleep by Ryou’s chest. “I think it’s time we all just go to sleep.”
Bakura watched as Marik buried his face in Ryou’s hair and
fall asleep, cuddled up close to Ryou.
Soon, Malik was also snoring.
Bakura was the last to close his eyes.
