Can zombies fall in love

Despair

Notes and disclaimers: I don't own yu-gi-oh or the art. This is the awesome fan art that I mentioned earlier that was made by @YamiRyou666 I asked if I could use it and they said I could :D so thank you. I hope this chapter isn't so dramatic that it's cringey

No ones POV
Melvin's eyes were wide with hysteria as he began screaming at the top of his lungs, "NO NO NO!" ((I know this is a sad situation but I  accidentally typed moo)) he clung to the bars before he snapped his head to the others, "OPEN THE GATE!!!" He was met with silence as Bakura was paralyzed and Marik was crying. Melvin got louder, yelling the same thing yet again, still getting the same response. Bakura finally snapped his head up, "calm down Melvin" his monotone voice was quiet, but was still managed to be heard through the growling of the undead. Melvin tilted his head before he stood up, tears mixing with eyeliner and Ryou's blood. He turned to face Bakura with fury in his eyes before a loud smack resounded. Marik instantly stood up and ran over to Bakura. The taller male was at full height "DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN! THEY TOOK RYOU AND YOU TELL ME TO CALM DOWN?! HE WAS THE LIGHT OF MY LIFE! I LOVED HIM AND NOW CREAMPUFF IS...is.." Melvin trailed off as he stopped from saying the harsh reality, his voice cracking from the screaming and grief. He fell to his knees as he covered his eyes, "I was supposed to protect him...I was his boyfriend...we were supposed to protect each other and I failed him." His voice went silent as he continued crying. Bakura turned towards the taller man despite the throbbing in his cheek. Tears of his own were streaming down his face, "How do you think I feel about this....I was his older brother, and although I sometimes acted like I didn't care, I still did!" His glare was harsh just like his words. Marik watched the scene unfold, his heart filled with sadness as tears of his own fell. Melvin finally looked up with a shaky breath, "look, I'm sorry for slapping you.." he tried to not think about Ryou. Bakura just nodded at the apology; "maybe he will be like Marik." Melvin tried to look at the bright side but was sadly interrupted by Bakura, "but he might not." He looked towards Marik who was still crying. Marik knew that Ryou turning out to be like him was very slim, he's seen young children never have the chance to live again because they were too far gone to care. He always thought he was the only one who could feel. He just slowly put his head down to cry more. Bakura continued looking at the zombie, "We're going to have to do the normal drill when the horde leaves.... I can do it if you're not able to...." he tried not to cry yet again. "No, I'll do it." Melvin stood up as the horse was already leaving.
