Ryou walked inside his apartment exhausted, he had moved in to a new apartment recently with two other roommates because they all happened to work together. Unfortunately, for them, their work was not exactly moral, they were prostitutes. Yugi was the youngest among them, being sixteen and Malik was the oldest being seventeen Ryou himself was sixteen too but he was still older than Yugi by a few months. Yugi walked downstairs meeting Ryou's eyes and smiling at him.
Yugi smiled brightly at his older friend. "You look beat. Malik's making dinner, be prepared...it might be another 'experiment' instead of the usual good stuff. I think he's trying some sort of casserole..." Yugi said wrinkling his nose. "Sometimes, I long for the simpler things...like a TV dinner, when he goes inventing new foods..." He giggled, causing Ryou to laugh a bit as well. Yugi had an incredibly contagious personality. Sometimes, Yugi was almost like the comic relief when things didn't go so hot, but that wasn't as often as one would think.
"Wonderful..." Ryou said sitting down on the couch sighing deeply "You...doing anything tonight?" Ryou asked curiously "Is Malik either?" Ryou asked
Yugi shrugged, a little. "I'm not too sure really. Marik might have something going on. However, I don't, for the time being. What about you?" Yugi asked, sitting on the carpet in front of the couch and sniffing the air, which was actually filling with a rather good smell.
"I would refuse anyone and any amount at this point Yugi-chan...I swear if Otogi doesn't stop setting me up with such abusive people I'll stop and take myself somewhere else." Ryou said rubbing his shoulders slightly as Malik walked in and looked at him concern crossing his features a little. He would always look out for Ryou and Yugi no matter what.
"I thought we had a talk with him about that..." Malik said grumbling. "I told him to take it easy on you two. No amount of money is worth physical pain. Jeeze." Malik said shaking his head.
"Well, we'll just talk to him again about it. Malik's right, and you can't leave! Who will I talk to about Malik's bad cooking ideas?" Yugi said giving Ryou the puppy eyes, which often times melted the white haired youth.
"Hey! If you don't like my cooking, then I'll just quit cooking for you..." Malik grumbled, before patting Ryou's back. "If you're really up for quitting, then do it, but if you want I can talk to Otogi about his customer policies. It's really up to you." The blonde teen smiled. "And as for you, you little spike headed twerp, I'm half tempted to let you starve...brat." Malik groaned, rolling his eyes at the sheepish grin from Yugi.
Ryou giggled a little bit but held his side a pained expression crossing his features and Malik rushed to his side quickly deep concern washing over his face. "I-I'm fine." Ryou said getting up but Malik stopped him
"Fine my ass, you and I both know you stutter when you're lying. Why you EVEN bother to lie anymore is beyond me." Malik said tugging Ryou's shirt over his head, leaving Ryou struggling to push the shirt back down, or at least down to his neck so he could see and breathe! "Good grief! Ryou you should have said something!" Malik said sternly, looking over the highly bruised area. "You could have a broken rib or something! Damnit, you need to TELL me when you're hurt!" Malik said, glairing at Ryou as he shoved his shirt back down. "How can I possibly make your life easier, if you're going out of my way to make it harder for me to help you?!"
"that's not why I do it!" Ryou shot back leaning against the wall. "It's not like I have a choice anyway, Otogi is the one who sets me up anyway, what am I supposed to say? I can't do it because you look like you'd hurt me?" Ryou sighed shaking his head. "It's not like they care about me...no one really does." Ryou said running up to his room although he limped slightly as he went.

He hated it how his family had practically abandoned him, his mother died when he was a kid and his father was always moving about the world leaving him alone. He did this kind of work so he could feel something other than utter loneliness, and his father was to wrapped up in himself to even notice that his own son was selling himself to just about anyone.

Yugi frowned and shook his head. "I know you mean well...but perhaps you shouldn't have yelled..."

Malik nodded. "Yeah...I cant help it...I'm only trying to protect him. Nevertheless, he's always pushing me aside, or pushing me away. Why wont he let me help him...?" Yugi looked up the stairs and sighed.
"I know Malik, he's just really going through a tough time...you know his father is always busy and never has time for him. A line of work like this really doesn't help. You go finish cooking...I'm going to go up and make sure he's ok. I hate it when he's sad." Yugi said softly, getting up and going up the stairs to Ryou's door and knocking softly.

Ryou was just sitting quietly thinking to himself when he heard a soft knock on the door he sighed knowing it was Yugi, Yugi had a lot of trouble when any of them were sad because it seemed to upset him as well, he always wanted to help...just like Malik.
"Come in" He said softly drawing his knees to his chest.
Yugi came in meekly. "Ryou...? Y-You know he's only trying to help make life easier for you...right?" Yugi said sitting down next to Ryou. "We both care for you, and...and..." Yugi paused and shook his head. "I know things are tough...we all have our reasons for doing this sort of thing. I may not be the best help...but I'm always here to talk to...and you're the best friends I have. Both of you." Yugi said before leaning over and hugging Ryou gently, so as not to hurt him further. "You know that right? That you guys are what keep me sane, and...and I hope I'm that source of sanity for you..."
Ryou smiled hugging Yugi back "I don't mean to yell or get angry with either of you, I know it upsets you...and Malik. But it's frustrating when my dad comes to visit me he doesn't even realize that I am hurt or upset...doesn't even notice I exist. I honestly think he hates me." Ryou sighed "At least when your grandfather was still alive he took care of you, I guess that was a great life…I wouldn't know." Ryou said a bit sadly. "I also know that Malik is just trying to protect me but he can't always protect me especially when Otogi steps in, I bruise really easy anyway...it's not as bad a s it looks I promise." Ryou said smiling at his friend.
They hear Malik call from downstairs that dinner was ready as they both gave a slight groan and went to eat whatever he managed to conjure up this time.

Malik grinned proudly, at his new 'creation'. "It's chicken, peas, cheese, and noodles all in a casserole!" He said, hoping that this one would be a success, because he was DUE to have one eventually. "Dig in." He said giving Yugi and Ryou plates, before sitting himself. "And don't even think about the vase behind you Yugi...I've caught onto your little 'plant food' trick."
Yugi turned a slight shade of pink, and grinned sheepishly. He usually dumped the food into the potted spider plant, if it was gross, and went back later after Malik was gone to bury it in the dirt. Compost so to speak. None of them really ate that much Otogi was always telling them to lose weight or to put it on they were never just perfect for him...right now they weighed to much although Malik could practically eat anything and not gain an ounce or lose it for that matter so he was a little out of luck but Yugi and Ryou could easily watch their figure and did a pretty good job about it too. Ryou took a bite of the food chewing it slowly hoping it wasn't that bad in which case it wasn't this time as he smiled up at Malik.
"It's fine Malik...taste's wonderful even." Ryou said smiling slightly at him "We should have some TV dinners tomorrow I just want some simple food for once, not that your not a great cook it's just something simple sounds really good to me." Ryou suggested knowing how much Yugi really liked TV dinners and Malik's food was sometimes a little spicy as in 'seeing through time' with one bite.
Malik sighed in relief, finally a meal that he invented that WORKED! "Sure, TV dinners is fine. I need to take a break from cooking anyway...I need to get some groceries. Which means, if you personally want something special, you have to pitch into the grocery bill." It was actually a typical rule, since groceries were so expensive for 3 people, and half the time when they bought food, it sat on the shelves because they were either too lazy to make it, or it didn't sound good at the time.
"Also, It's almost time to pay the rent again. So lets make sure there's no frivolous spending this week. Money gets tight when if we spend too much money at the ARCADE..." Malik said eying Yugi, who looked down. "Gomen, I didn't MEAN to blow twenty dollars last time...it...just kind have happened." he mumbled sheepishly. "It's fine, lets just avoid that from now on."
"Well, we could ask for a little extra work...Seto actually pays really well he said he'd be happy to have me again." Ryou said not wanting them to stress about money they didn't need it now of all times.
Malik shook his head. "Not if he's the one who gave you that bruise...I want you to take it easy anyway. Yugi and I can work harder if we need to. I don't want you getting any MORE injuries until you've at least healed a little from this new little surprise." Malik said sternly.
Yugi nodded a bit. "If you want to rest, I don't mind. I'm sure Otogi can arrange for me to work a bit more." He said cheerfully. "I think you should at the very least take a day off. I know you said the bruise wasn't as bad as it looked...but even so, I think you could use the break." Yugi added taking another bite of the casserole.
Ryou nodded at them telling them okay. He had been working more than they had recently so that they could take the time to find an apartment and get everything moved in and arranged so it had been a little stressing for him so it would be nice to have a day off.
"W-what about Otogi? He may need me." Ryou said realizing he didn't decide when he would rest or take a day off.
Malik smiled softly. "It's fine, I'll talk to him tomorrow morning. You just relax. I'm sure he'll see the good reasoning behind the day off." He said around the bite of casserole he had taken a moment before. "You'd sell better without a huge bruise on you, and you look a mess. You NEED a break. Yugi and I have been slacking because of the big move, and you've been picking it up for us. Just think of it as a nice reward."
Yugi grinned. "Yeah! You can be totally lazy and lay around the apartment ALL day if you want. That'd be so awesome..." He said thinking of what it might be like, to have an entire day to do whatever he wanted, without having an appointment. "And if Otogi set you up, I can stand in for you. Some of your guys like me too anyway." Yugi said cheerfully, hoping to urge Ryou onto taking at LEAST one day off.
"Thanks..." Ryou said smiling at the two of them "I'm sorry for saying that no one cared about me...that was a bit of an insult to both of you wasn't it?" Ryou said taking another small bite before pushing his plate away although there was still much left upon it. "I'm gonna take a shower and go to sleep, it that okay?" He asked softly making sure they didn't want or need him for anything. "I can do the dishes after my shower if you want." Ryou added hastily.
Yugi grinned. "I'll do them, it's officially your day off, starting now." Malik nodded laughing. "You just go relax and get a good sleep. Think HEALING thoughts." He said picking up Ryou's plate and carrying it over to the sink. "Have a nice hot shower and we'll take care of things until you're little break is over with." Yugi hugged Ryou gently before picking up his plate, which also was a bit full. "G'night Ryou!" he chirped before walking over to begin the dishes, as Marik put the leftovers into the fridge.
Ryou smiled as he headed upstairs and started taking off his clothes as his cell phone rang. He sighed slightly picking it up.
"Yes Otogi?" He said knowing who it was already
"That last customer you had really liked you can you take him again tommorrow?" He asked adding a hint of slyness to his voice.
"I...I don't think that's a good idea I need to take a day off to heal." Ryou said removing his shoes.
"Then you'll have to make it up tonight!" Otogi barked "Come by ASAP Ryou." He practically growled hanging up the phone.
Ryou hung his head slightly as he pulled his clothes back on and went downstairs and slipped out the front door not being noticed by the other two, he didn't need them to worry it was probably only one guy anyway he would be done quickly and come home soon enough.

Otogi paced a bit while waiting for Ryou. Taking the day off to heal wasn't a BAD Idea, but he really should have given him some notice! "Where is he? He knows how much I hate when he's late." Otogi groaned, sitting down and shaking his head. "With Malik and Yugi backing off a bit, Ryou's the only one out of the three who's really put any time in these last few..." he grumbled. "My three best, and only one out of them is even WORKING!" He grumbled louder.
Ryou sighed stopping grabbing his side it hurt more than it should but he shook it off running the rest of the way he knew Otogi hated it when he was late. He finally ended up on the steps of his house and knocked on the door as Otogi opened it quickly 'great he has been waiting all this time' Ryou mentally groaned as he walked inside.
"Sorry, I had to walk here I couldn't get a ride." He mumbled slightly knowing Otogi probably really didn't care. said handing Ryou a slip with the appropriate address on it. It wasn't far from Otogi's place thankfully. "Do a good job, and don't expect to keep all the earnings, I'm going to take a bit more than usual, since you'll be absent tomorrow." Otogi huffed. "Next time, a little notice before you just decide to take a day off." Otogi said sternly, thumping Ryou lightly on the head. No malice intended.
"Sure." Ryou said walking out the door quickly. He really didn't hate Otogi just didn't like how he treated him like a child all the time, Malik really hated him though because of all the things he had accidentally done to him and Yugi, truthfully it was an accident but Malik doesn't forgive easily especially when they get hurt. He shuffled over to Joey's place not really knowing this person, just was informed of his name. He liked it better when he got a regular because he knew what to do but with someone new, he didn't know. He sighed knocking on the door softly. it was getting pretty late hopefully he could run home before it got too late.
Joey answered the door and smiled. "You must be Ryou. Wow, he was right...you ARE hot." He blurted, walking around Ryou in a slight circle, literally checking out the merchandise. "Can you give me a good time?" Joey asked, wanting to make sure Ryou was relatively confident. "I'll pay you based on how good you are. So really, it'd be in your best interests to do the best you can." Joey said smiling finally reaching Ryou's front once more.
Ryou simply plastered a fake yet very convincing and seductive smile to him as he walked inside brushing the blonde bangs out of the other teens face and smiling slightly. "You're not so bad looking yourself." He said circling him just the same in a slightly teasing manner as he stopped leaning on the end of the couch his hip pushed out slightly exposing his stomach.
Joey laughed slightly, raking his eyes over Ryou once more. "And spunky...too, I like what I'm seeing." He said shutting the door and walking over to Ryou. "If you're as good as you make yourself out to be, I will most defiantly be back for more." he said smirking. "Well, lets not waste any time. Take off your clothes." Joey said, still somewhat putting Ryou on a bit of a trial run.
He was a little worried what Joey would think about the bruise but he couldn't hesitate to long that was never a good thing with a first time customer as he removed his clothes with little hassle kicking off his shoes and pants to the side removing his white t-shirt and boxers a little discouraged when Joey placed his hand on the slightly purple mark on his side but he didn't seem disgusted or anything more concerned.
"Good grief, what happened here?" Joey said in a strangely worried tone. "Did you take a nasty fall down some stairs or what?!" He said gingerly touching the bruised area. Something about Ryou was endearing, and hired or not, that bruise was horrible! Not even McDonalds would have made an employee work with a nasty injury like that, it even LOOKED painful. "That's really an awful bruise..." He said smiling at Ryou a bit. "You might as well tell me, I'm paying you anyway. It looks like it's really painful..." he added looking Ryou directly in the eyes.
"It's not as bad as it looks, I bruise easily is all...I'm fine I just got a semi-sadist customer earlier today. Don't worry about." Ryou said simply as if it was a regular thing which recently it had been.
Joey rolled his eyes, before pressing harshly on the bruise, causing Ryou to gasp and nearly double over in pain. "Not as bad as it looks hm? My ass. Prostitute or not you're still human, I can't believe someone would hurt someone as beautiful as you to begin with!" Joey said shaking his head. "Do you have any other injuries that 'aren't as bad as they look' that I shouldn't worry about?" he said rolling his eyes.
"That wasn't called for..." Ryou said a bit out of breath "Can we just get this over with, I don't mean to sound in a rush or anything but I would like to get home so my friends don't have a heart attack and worry to much about me." Ryou said adverting his gaze from Joey's.
Joey smiled a bit. "Tell you what, you don't look in any shape to do this, and quite honestly, I don't think I could do anything with you injured like that." He said reaching into his pocket and pulling out his wallet. "I'll pay you, simply for your company, maybe we can do something fun later on, when I know I wont hurt you on accident, because of huge bruises that 'aren't as bad as they look'." He said smiling slightly and handing Ryou a twenty, simply for coming, which was a lot considering they did virtually NOTHING. "How about we do this when you're feeling better. Ok?" Joey said placing a hand on Ryou's chin and turning forcing him to look at him. "Unless you WANT to do something."

Ryou bit his lower lip in all truth it would be nice to just leave but Otogi wouldn't be satisfied with such a low amount not to mention most of his pay tonight would be taken. He just smiled dropping the cash as crushing his lips against Joey's shoving him into a nearby wall as their hips grinded together slightly. Ryou usually wasn't the aggressive type but Joey for some reason cared and he needed to convince him this was all right without words because he tended to stutter when he lied.
Joey groaned highly turned on by the white haired tenshi. He pulled away from the kiss slightly, looking at Ryou worriedly. "You're sure you're ok?" He asked smiling slightly. "If I hurt you, even once you tell me, and that will be it...I'm not going to agree to this, unless you promise me that. That bruise is awful by itself, I don't need to add more to the knocks on your injury belt."
"I'm sure" Ryou quickly answered before Joey could protest "And I promise" as he wrapped a leg around him and kissed him this time a little more gently, testing him seeing which he liked better, it would be nice to know what he wanted in a partner before hand...a lot better if Joey would just tell him what to do like he did at the beginning.
Joey smiled, pulling Ryou close to him. "Since you insist..." He whispered shaking his head lightly, before gently pushing Ryou off to shed his own clothing. "I can tell you've been at this for a while..." Joey said thoughtfully, pulling Ryou close to him once more and kissing him, sliding his tongue into Ryou's willing mouth to taste him. He couldn't help but be a bit tender with Ryou, he'd never seen such an injury, and even though he would be paying him, very well for his time it worried him because prostitute or not Ryou was a person with emotions and feelings. Besides, he was damn cute, how could a prostitute be so innocent looking?
Ryou noticed how tender he was being with him, he wasn't used to this at all it was mainly harsh words and actions...he had been hurt before but no one ever cared before. "Does it matter how long I've done this?" Ryou asked trying to keep his mind on other things but still paying attention to the job at hand while Joey's hands leaned him backward laying him gently on the ground, most were a little unnerved by his weight but loved it all the same. His slender frame and lightweight gave him a feminine appeal which most people found attractive male or female.
"I suppose not, I just find it odd that you're such a beautiful person in such an ugly line of work." Joey said, deciding to give Ryou a bit of a break, and try to make his time enjoyable. This might be the only time he'd ever see him, unless Ryou decided otherwise and he really was pleasant to be around. They probably could have been fast friends if they hadn't met under THESE terms.
Joey let his hands roam over Ryou's slender frame some touches being lighter than air, especially around the bruised area. Joey was considering asking Ryou to touch himself, just to watch the beautiful bishounen. He was such a little turn on. After a moment, he managed to ask the smaller teen to do so, Ryou WAS a hired show after all.
"Do you want me to stand or sit a certain way? I am here to please you, you don't need to be so formal, tell me what you want." Ryou said looking at him as he sat up slightly waiting for a type of instruction, he preferred to be told what to do it made things easier on him.
Joey smiled a bit. "It doesn't matter as long as I can watch you." He said kissing Ryou's cheek. "Just position yourself to where you are comfortable." He added, slightly glad he was giving Ryou basically easy money. Usually he was pretty rude to the hired 'fun' but something about Ryou just stopped him from being so...inconsiderate and hateful, but that wouldn't stop him from having his fun.
Ryou laid back down on his back closing his eyes as he wrapped one hand around his length as he began to slowly stroke himself, he couldn't help but blush he always did when he was asked to do something like this. He felt slightly stupid for blushing like an idiot but nothing could be done about it as he sped up his movement making small pleasured moans heard Joey's pleased sigh. He slowly guided his middle finger into himself. He could feel the heat rising in his cheeks though as he pushed his finger further inside himself, however he found Joey seemed rather pleased as Ryou closed his eyes and drove it deeper inside himself faster and harder with each stroke. As he continued he eventually added a second and third finger as he slammed them into himself harder arching his back to give Joey a better view.
Joey couldn't help but groan at the sight of the blushing teen touching himself. It was so unbelievably hot, it was almost as if Ryou was a virgin or something, the way the blush darkened his creamy features. It was almost too much to take, and Ryou's heated moans weren't making things any easier. After a few more moments, Joey decided to join in the fun. He took Ryou's hand and led it away from his entrance, and kissed the top slightly. "Don't stop." He whispered, very slowly and carefully replacing Ryou's fingers with his length. Joey didn't want to interrupt Ryou's pleasure, he wanted to add to it, because he was fairly sure no one would have thought of THAT before. He waited for Ryou to give him a signal that he was ok. They'd both leave this VERY happy, Ryou because he had a good time for a change, and Joey because Ryou was so freaking hot and tight...and god did he look like an angel fallen straight from heaven just for him to 'play' with that night. Ryou clenched his teeth unconsciously when Joey entered him but wrapped his arms around him burying his face in his shoulder so he couldn't see his slightly pained expression but it quickly passed as he moaned slightly as his movements sped up his hands grasping fist- full's of his hair as he softly pulled it while bringing him into a strong kiss releasing his hair placing his hands on his hips grasping them both tightly. Ryou's eyes flew open at that contact with his injury but bit back the cry of pain, you get what you ask for as Joey pulled him into his lap guiding him up and down, Ryou broke away from the kiss gasping loudly as he hugged him hiding his face from Joey yet again as he begun drug his nails down Joey's back as his eye's watered from the pressure becoming more intense. He heard Joey's breath become labored as his embrace tightened. 'he was close...he would stop soon' Ryou said as tried to block out the pain he was causing although he probably didn't notice. Joey groaned loudly, pounding into Ryou a few more times, before releasing into him. He hugged Ryou gently at that point, just sitting there and gently rubbing Ryou's back, knowing that he probably HAD hurt the pale teen. The fact that Ryou's back muscles were very ridged confirmed it. He gently gave Ryou a massage, in apology, as they both caught their breath. Once both teens were relatively recovered, he shook his head a bit. "You should have told me, after all I TOLD you to." He whispered, continuing to remove the knots from Ryou's shoulder muscles. "Either way...I'm sorry, I know I hurt you...it's easy to tell." He said pulling out of Ryou and hugging him softly in further apology.
Ryou pulled away slightly stumbling falling on his side in doing so his legs feeling slightly numb although they tended to it being nothing new.
"It's fine...I'm fine." He said trying to sit normally but failing as he settled for just resting on his side. "Are we finished? Do you want more?" Ryou asked not really caring which he choose just wanting to know.
"I said if I hurt you that that would be the end of it, besides I don't need you HATING me. I'd like to think I'll see you again sometime." Joey said rising after a moment, and grabbing his jeans, to reach in the pocket for his wallet. "I'm usually a stingy bastard when it comes to paying, but you're something different." He said pulling out a one hundred dollar bill, to add to his twenty. "You really are a beautiful person in an ugly line of work. Next time you're hurt like that, come see me. I'm sure I'm the only considerate person you've ever been bought by." Joey added smiling softly. "You're welcome to stay as long as it takes for you to feel better. It's my fault." He said offering Ryou a sincere smile, as he dressed himself in his boxers and pants, not bothering with the shirt.

Ryou rolled over on his back placing a hand over his eyes. "You'll have to talk to Otogi about seeing me again, I have to go home now otherwise my friends will worry about me...sorry about leaving so soon...and thanks I'll keep what you said in mind." He said pulling on his clothes rather hastily and leaving.
He wasn't to long before he sat on Otogi's doorstep repeatedly ringing the doorbell waiting for him to answer hoping the annoying bell would bring him to the door faster.
Otogi answered the door after a moment, grumbling. "The doorbell is for ringing ONCE." He said annoyed at Ryou. "I expect you did a good job." He added looking at the money in Ryou's hand. He snatched it, noticing the two bills and rolling his eyes. "Figures. I don't feel like going into exact percents at the moment." He said giving Ryou the twenty.
"Fine, I have to go home now." Ryou said walking away but Otogi snatched his wrist "Nani?" Ryou asked curious slightly eyeing the glare Otogi was giving him with curiosity.
Otogi shook his head. "Joey called, he said he was worried about you because of your injury. You KNOW I hate it when I get calls like that." He said staring Ryou down. "We've had a talk about this. You're not to act as if you're in pain! What am I supposed to tell people who call me? 'Oh, well I don't know what to tell you, maybe next time he will perform better.'?" He yelled slightly. He didn't get many calls where someone CARED about Ryou being hurt, usually he got complaints. Either way, he didn't need calls where he had to apologize for Ryou's performance. "If I lose customers because you're performing badly, it will not only reflect onto my abilities as well as your paycheck." he growled, knowing that Ryou, Yugi and Malik all needed as much money as they could get, and that even the smallest difference in income meant either living it up, or living on the absolute necessities.
"I preformed just fine, the hundred dollars in your hand should prove that...he for some reason just was worried about me I did just fine I didn't act the slightest bit in pain." Ryou wrenched his hand away from Otogi "If maybe you wouldn't sell me to those who get off on others pain I wouldn't be in pain at all." Ryou said this time meeting Otogi's glare.
Otogi glared more. "You attract them, you talk pretty big for someone who needs the money. Just be glad you have me to help you at all, you could be a corner worker and get MUCH worse than you have gotten. You know as well as I do, that if you're hurt badly like you were last time, I don't sell you to that person again." Otogi said angrily. He had eventually made it a policy not to have Ryou in perpetual pain, and would refuse sales to customers who did particularly painful things, or wounded Ryou too badly. Ryou just shook his head. The problem with that policy is Seto paid too much for Otogi to resist. As he headed home quickly, he quietly walked inside his apartment. He walked upstairs and noticed Malik sitting on his bed. He rolled his eyes at him.
"Don't start..." Was all Ryou said before he started to remove his clothes being comfortable around the other teen and used to changing in front of him.
Malik sighed. "Ryou, you could have at least told us you were leaving! Yugi was scared to death. You know how he worries about unrealistic things." He said softly, crossing his arms. "You're lucky he went to bed early, otherwise you'd have to deal with him too."
"I didn't have a choice...I had to go see Otogi anyway and I'm fine. He was really nice for some reason but I don't think I should see him again though." Ryou said slipping on a silk shirt and sitting on the bed next to Malik.
Malik blinked a bit. "Nice?" He said confused. That was a change, usually Ryou came home complaining about how awful everything had been, and so far the worst he had said was that the guy was 'nice'. "What do you mean, 'nice'?"
"As in he actually cared about how I felt, he was worried that he would hurt me and everything...kind of unnerving really." Ryou said
Malik blinked a bit. "That'd be a GOOD thing in my book, especially if I got the type of buyers you keep getting. It's occasionally GOOD to have someone care." Malik said thoughtfully. "Maybe all those bad buyers are turning you off to kindness, that might explain your crabbiness." He said teasingly hugging, Ryou careful not to hurt him.
"No that's not it but it's easier for me when I know they don't care and I don't have to worry about emotional attachment...I think he liked me a little to much, and I can't possible have a relationship with anyone with the kind of work I do." Ryou said sighing leaning into Malik's embrace. "Will you stay with me tonight I don't want to be alone." Ryou said softly
Malik smiled a bit. "Sure...but I want you to promise me that you'll have a good time tomorrow, and relax. Don't think about work, or money or anything but yourself. Be a greedy bastard for once in your life." Malik said laughing slightly. "I'm going to get the groceries in the morning, and then drop them by here. Eat whatever you want. Ok?" Malik said, picking Ryou up and pulling the blankets of his bed back, before setting him down and lying down next to him. "Be a brat. You deserve to think of you sometimes." Malik added, pulling the blankets over them both.
"Sorry if I worried you or Yugi I didn't mean to at all...I feel kind of guilty that I'm taking the day off and you know he's gonna work you two extra hard just because of me despite the money I made him tonight...it never matters..." Ryou closed his eyes as snuggled closer to Malik "I'm so happy you two are my best friends." Ryou said falling asleep soon after.

Long chapters take a long time to write so please review for all out hard work! Bakura, Yami, and Marik will enter the story later and don't forget Seto is a bad guy at first but he turns good so don't freak out and get this story erased until you at least read the whole fic! Do not flame me just because someone tells you too either! Find out for yourself we worked really hard on this so please be gentle!

PLEASE REVIEW!!!
