The Little merMarik (Yu-Gi-Oh! WA 2017)

12: His name's Marik

A small boat carried both Marik and Bakura while Ryou sat at the dock with a new book and a cup of tea.

The sun was starting to set, signaling the end of day two. Just one more day, Marik thought. Then I'll be human, permanently. No father or Ishizu to yell at me.

Marik looked at Bakura, who was deep in thought. His pale skin complemented his dark eyes, and his hair was just....perfect. And fluffy.
As the kitty rowed the boat, he kept thinking. What if this isn't him? What if I took in a random hot stranger under the impression he had rescued and sung to me? What if my rescuer is still out there?

Pegasus, Yami, Yugi, Joey, and Tristan watched their boat from not too far away. They were far enough to remain hidden. "This is absolutely UNFABULOUS." Pegasus sighed.

Yami frowned. "They haven't kissed each other ONCE. I'm getting a little pissed off that the yaoi fanservice hasn't started yet. I want my money."

"Pharoah, no ones getting paid for this..." Yugi sighed.

"We need to set the mood!" Tristan cheered. "Perhaps if we sing a romantic song!"
He cleared his throat. "LA-a-La-lA-"

"No. Just stop." Joey covered his mouth, shutting him up.

"What we need is another song parody!" Yami demanded. "Even if they are pretty much the original song except for like, one or two words are changed."

"Can we not?" Joey yawned. "I'm tired of parodies."

"I DEMAND A SONG PARODY, EVEN IF I HAVE TO SING IT IN THIS SEXY VOICE MYSELF."

Yugi smiled. "Then sing, Pharoah!"

"I didn't actually mean-"

"Too late. You're obligated to sing now. Right readers?"

Yugi, you don't command the readers. I do.

"Please, if you could command the readers you'd have more votes and comments. Now shut up and let Yami sing." He says with a creepy smile.

*backs away into a corner*

Yami sighed. "Fine. But I'll need you guys to do the work for m-" he recieved a dirty look from Yugi. "I mean...you need to help me out."
Yugi patted him on the head.

"Alright. The scene is set. A beautiful sunset, and it's just those two on the boat." Yami continued. "Okay, okay....I can work with this."
He examined everyone who was present. "Tristan, you guys get percussion." He handed him bongos. "Joey, you get strings." He handed him a harp. "Pegasus, winds." He handed him a flutelike instrument.

"Where is he getting these instruments from...?" Yugi asked, to no one in particular.

Yami said, "it's a fanfiction. A bunch of random crap is going to happen. Now shut up. You sing backup."

"I don't even-"

"There, you see her, sitting there across the way," Yami sang. "Or him. Marik could be either one, really."

"Pharoah!" Yugi whined.

"Fine, fine." He cleared his throat, and decided to change the lyrics. "He don't got a lot to say, but there's something about him. And you don't know why, but you're dying to try you wanna kiss the boy..."

"Do you hear something?" Bakura asked Marik as he rowed their canoe in the lagoon. Marik could hear it too, and nodded. The could hear the faint sound of the song in the distance. "Bloody imbeciles...all of them...." Bakura muttered.

"Yes, you want him." Yami continued to sing, with Yugi harmonizing. "Look at him, you know you do."

"How can they know what I bloody want?" Bakura mumbled, and Marik felt the teeniest bit offended.
But he didn't like where this situation was going....

"Possible he wants you too, there's one way to ask him. It don't take a word, not a single word, go on and kiss the boy!"

Marik gulped. He can't let Bakura listen to them. It's only the night of the second day! He's still got a day left! Bakura can't kiss him now! It'll ruin everything!

Bakura seemed to be staring at Marik (and dat midriff.), who was looking off into the water. I can't go back there...Marik thought.
Bakura looked at his face in the moonlight. His eyes sparkled and his face was structured nicely. His hair felt neatly on his shoulders, and he had his lower lip bitten.

What would it be like....if he did kiss him? He almost did yesterday.

"This is bad." Ishizu said from under the water, looking up at her brother and the kitty. "This is very very bad."

"Hm?" Odion had been cuddling his bag of gummy bears.

"Marik might kiss Bakura! Then we'll be stuck with him again!"

"Oh. That's bad, right?"

"Yes. Yes it is."

"Sing with me now," Yami smirked at his friends. "Sha~la~la~la~la~la, my, oh my! Looks like the boy's too shy, he ain't gonna kiss the boy. Sha~la~la~la~la~la, ain't that sad? A little shame, too bad. He gonna miss the boy..."

Bakura decided to refrain from his temptations and thoughts. "I know something we can do," Bakura said. "How about I try and guess your name? I don't know how long we'll be here, so we might as well try."

Marik nodded. Just don't kiss me. Not yet.

"This might be interesting..." Odion said, mostly to himself.

"Let's see..." Bakura leaned back and thought. "Is it....Melvin?"
Marik wrinkled his nose in disgust.
"Okay, okay," Bakura chuckled a bit. "Not Melvin."

Melvin watched the whole thing from a little glass ball in his lair. "Rude."

Bakura guessed again. "Is it...Steve?"
Marik shook his head.

"Ugh...they're wasting my time. This could take all night!" Ishizu sighed, and swam and poked her head out of the water. Marik tried not to notice her when she whispered, mostly to Bakura, "Marik." Marik thanked her with his eyes and she gave him a thumbs up, and got back in the water.

"Marik?" He said it, mostly to repeat what he heard to himself, but was shocked to see Marik nodding eagerly.
"That's your name?" He smirked. "Marik?" After a little bit of laughter, he said, "What a stupid name."
Marik's jaw almost hit the ground.

"Only joking, of course." Bakura coughed.

Only joking my a**. Marik thought.

Okay so this time for real I won't be updating till probably Sunday night or Monday. But I couldn't leave you guys hanging!
