Cover My Thoughts With Gold

~*~

Kek wrapped his arms around Ryou and nuzzled affectionately behind his ear. “Is it bad that I’m super excited for this?”

“Of course not, love. I hope you and Malik have a wonderful time together.”

“Whilst you babysit Bakura.”

“Well,” grinned Ryou, “we always did make a good gaming team.”

They left the apartment soon after that, opting to walk rather than drive. Kek preferred to take in the sights around him at a more leisurely pace, as though there would never be enough time for him to enjoy the blessings of life and nature. Four months had passed since he and Bakura found themselves shoved out of the darkness and into bodies of their own, but for Kek, that time had passed in the blink of an eye, so fleeting compared to the dull and slow drag of eternal nothingness.

Malik and Bakura’s apartment was around a twenty-minute walk across town. Into the elevator they went, and Ryou knocked once they reached the correct door number.

Malik opened the door a few moments later, beaming from ear to ear when he saw Ryou, and giving Kek a more cautious smile and nod, which he returned. Once over the threshold and the door closed behind them, Malik pressed a kiss to Ryou’s cheek, pulling back with a pleased expression. “Is that a hint of stubble I feel, honey?”

“Yeah,” Ryou giggled, rubbing the smattering of silvery hair along his jaw. Kek leaned down to kiss his other cheek, matching his lover’s pleasure. “Think it came in last week or so? I know I should probably shave it off, but –”

“Don’t be silly,” Malik scoffed. “This is massive for you. Keep it as long as you’re comfortable, yeah?”

“Well, when you put it like that...”

“I’m sure Kek will show you how to shave at some point,” Malik winked at Kek; he let out a bashful chuckle at that.

“Where’s Cersei?” he asked. He knew his nose would probably start running in the next few minutes, but he did so love the little golden kitten Malik brought home last month.

Ryou: They're terrified of you.

Ryou: Bakura-

Bakura: And I regret it whenever I do go over the portion size, but I eat it all anyway, because mama didn't raise a bitch.
