Trial of the Pyramid

1.

Where are we?" Ryou asks, voice hoarse like he hasn't used it in ages. "What happened?"

The Spirit doesn't respond for a long moment, drawing Ryou's full attention. Finally: "We lost," deposited onto the hard ground. His back is to Ryou, so he says the words not to him, but to something else. Someone else.

That someone is huddled into a man-shaped lump, and the words make him stiffen. Slowly, he drags a scarred face out from the bundle he's wrapped himself into and stares at the Spirit, his ruby eyes sharp and shining. An entire conversation seems to pass between the man and the Spirit. Ryou's bones start to itch.

The boy stands, stretching feeling back into his limbs. "Lost what?" he prods.

"Everything," the man answers. His tongue is quick like a whip, and his voice is dry like tinder.

2.

The Spirit laughs, and that, too, is swallowed by the cavern. "What's this? The mighty Thief King wallowing? Now I've seen everything." He takes the man by the jaw and forces him to face Ryou. The Spirit leans in close so that his lips ghost over the man's ear. "Even the boy is standing while you cower," he hisses, though his smile never falters. "Get up." And he releases the man.

3.

The plate groans inward, cascading into spiral steps. More torches flicker on, piercing the darkness as the staircase forms. Ryou peers down, a hand on his hip and something buzzing under his skin. His chest heaves, though his breathing is even for the first time since he awoke in the Pyramid.

He doesn't jump when someone crosses into his personal space. The Spirit presses against his side and lowers his face to the crook of Ryou's neck. His lips brush lightly over the skin over his shoulder and he inhales, deep. "I like the smell of power on you, Landlord," he purrs.

Ryou's heart thumps once. He swallows and glances to the Thief King standing on his other side. The man doesn't move but his eyes roam over Ryou's face, shoulders, hands, and back up, half-lidded, and he bites the corner of his bottom lip. Ryou's heart thumps again.

4.

"Once more?" Ryou says, holding the knife out by the blade towards the Spirit.

That feeling when you realize that TKB would unironically think Shadow the Hedgehog was the coolest guy ever.

Meanwhile YB would say he sucks ("Why would I enjoy something made for melodramatic children?"), but get a suspiciously similar motorcycle and make "I am All Of Me" his ringtone.

Presenting a ficlet for the first day of @ficwip's All Ships Week:

Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh

Ship: Geminishipping (Thief King Bakura/Yami Bakura)

Prompt: Forced to work together

Note: Bakura = Thief King Bakura, Necrophades (En) = Yami Bakura

Enjoy!

----------

Bakura fiddled with the zipper of his red jacket, twisting it between his fingers as he examined the display case housing the museum’s newest additions. He’d pulled up his hood before entering, concealing distinctive white curls, and a pair of gloves ensured he wouldn’t leave any stray fingerprints. This was only his first visit, a casual study of the building’s security features as he deliberated whether or not anything here was worth stealing. So far, it wasn’t looking—

A hand grabbed his shoulder, spinning him around, and he cursed himself for his distraction. The corner of his mouth ticked downward as he recognised the face of his assailant, an exact match to the picture he had tacked up on his dartboard.

But you know what? I have no self restrain so I drew all the options <3 (And by the way, the secret option was geminishipping)

Note: tumblr keep flagging this post so I had to censor the thiefshipping one. (Even if there was nothing to see, the poor guy just don't wear pants because it's unpractical with a tail. You couldn't see anything.)

Tender: What did you expect, Bakura? Claws and horns are Ryou's things. He will find you cute no matter how threatening you try to be.

Thief: Breaking news. Marik discovers he has a monsterfucker kink but it only applies to Bakura

Tame: Yamima found a very interesting new toy and can't wait to test it <3
