Tea for Two
Chapter Five
By: Ryou Lover15

"Hey there is one hot looking guy looking for a one Ryou Bakura." Duke announced quietly to Ryou as soon as he saw Malik walk into the coffee shop. Malik was the center of attention as soon as he walked into the shop, wearing a pair of tight fitting black velvet pants, a t-shirt covered by a black over coat that went down to his knees, his usual gold jewelry, and a pair of black leather boots. Being Egyptian didn't help placing Malik in the limelight either. Malik was used to being in the limelight, it was a fact of life, being an Ishater was being in the spotlight twenty-four seven. That was something he hated one of the reasons he had come to this boarding school.

Ryou stepped into the back room to take off his apron. He slipped it off and put it on a hook, he grabbed his jacket that was in the room and met Malik in the front.

Malik had a cup of coffee in a paper cup, before the two left the store, Ryou glanced back to see Duke smiling happily at him.

"So how are we getting there?" Ryou asked.

"By my bike."

"Bike!? Ummm..?"

"What's the matter?" Malik asked softly, taking Ryou's hand gently into his and walking him towards his bike. It was Malik's most prized possession, the only thing that he had gotten sent back for him. It had been a birthday present from his parents a year ago. It was white with lavender stripes, the seat was made of leather, on top of the seat were two helmets. Malik clambered on, put on his helmet. Ryou stood on the sidewalk, thinking about going back to the coffee shop.

"Are you afraid, Ryou?" Malik cooed, "that's okay my sister, Isis is afraid too. Just hold tightly on to me." At the sound of Malik's reassuring tone, Ryou climbed over and grabbed onto Malik's waist. Malik promised that everything was going to be all right, he wouldn't lie would he?

"Get ready for some speed." Malik turned the throttle and put the bike into first gear.

They arrived at the mall fifteen minutes later, both boy's hair had blown all over the place and it looked like the two had gone through a tornado. Ryou consciously smoothed down his hair, getting some very odd looks in the process. What was with these people it was like they had never seen a guy with long hair. Malik was looking at a map of the mall. The map contains a directory of all the stores in the mall, along with where the facilities like bathrooms and payphones were located.

"So where do you want to go?" Malik asked pulling Ryou over to the map.

"I don't know? Possibly a bookstore." Ryou looked at the map; there were two bookstores in the mall. A large one and a small one.

"Okay then after we'll head out to the food court, then we will go to the new clothing store that opened up here," Malik indicated a spot on the map.

"Okay, Let's go."

The bookstore was massive, Ryou loved books, and it was one of his other passions other then singing. Ryou went to go look at the selection of graphic novels that the store possessed, while Malik headed off to the small cd section that was on the second floor. Ryou browsed through the selection of graphic novels he was looking for a specific book, after an extensive search, he concluded that the store did not have it in stock.

Ryou went up to the second floor. He found Malik browsing through the easy listening section. Malik found a cd he wanted paid for it, then left to the food court.

The food court was quite busy, when Malik and Ryou got there, moms were with their children, teenagers were spending one of their very few days off in the week here, and many of the employees were on their lunch break. This added to the chaos. Ryou found a spot thankfully, the couple that had previously occupied that spot had been just leaving as soon as Ryou came walking up. Malik was getting the food, at a vegetarian restaurant. Malik had confessed that he was a vegetarian and that he hoped that didn't scare Ryou.

It didn't faze Ryou at all. In fact Ryou saw strength in Malik for that. He stood up for something he believed in.

Malik came back with a red tray with a medium garden salad for Ryou, and a large for himself.

~*~

"-Wow it's bigger and better then I excepted." Malik gushed, standing in front of the new clothing store. It was a store for Malik, Ryou noted. The clothing was either tight, revealing, or both. There was a variety of people in the store, mostly teens. A black haired girl ran the cashier, while the other employees were rushing around making sure all the patrons were happy. Malik headed off to look at the selection of jeans, while Ryou stood by a rack of belts.

Unknown to Ryou, Malik wasn't shopping for jeans for himself but rather for him. 'I wonder what size Ryou wears?' Malik thought to himself as he gazed at Ryou, trying to size him. There was only one solution, Malik walked over to Ryou, and asked his opinion on a pair of jeans.

"Which one do you think will suit me better?" Malik held up two pairs of jeans, one denim and one black.

"That one," Ryou pointed to the denim one, Malik dropped the black pair, and grabbed two shirts that he had set on the shelve, "and which one do you like better?" The one on the right was a black leather tank top, while the one on the left was a t-shirt that had the words, 'angel' and a halo on it.

"The angel one."

"Good, you're like what a size five?"

"Yeah but I don't see why this applies to me." Malik flipped through the rack of pants and came out with a five he also grabbed a six. He threw both into Ryou's arms along with the shirt. Malik steered Ryou into the way of a change room.

"And no coming out until, you try everything on." Malik knew he was being forceful at the moment, he didn't want to sound that way, he hoped Ryou wasn't put off by that certain trait he possessed.

"How's everything going?" One of the employees asked, this was one of the males that worked here. He wore a pair of low rise black tight fitting jeans, with a silver belt, and a blue t-shirt.

"Fine."

"I get off at five, if you are free would you like go somewhere. Possibly a movie?"

"I'm not interested."

"Well if you are here is my number." The boy passed Malik over a slip of folded paper.

After the boy left, Malik knocked on the fitting room door," how are you doing in there Ryou?"

"..Fine." Ryou didn't sound fine at all.

"Are you ready to come out?"

"No." Ryou said hurriedly.

"Well could I come in and at least see what is the problem?"

Ryou thought for a moment, "sure, I guess."

Ryou opened the door slightly, Malik stepped in and was taken back at what he saw.

Ryou was wearing the jeans along with the shirt. He looked good; the pants were perfectly suited for Ryou, as well as the shirt.

"You look," Malik beamed, and his efforts had paid off, Ryou looked great, no change that he looked sexy.

"Unsuitable for public that is why I refuse to go out in public."

"I think you like nice." Malik said kindly.

'Was that a compliment' "Thanks."

"I'll go pay for this once you get changed and then we will head over to do something special."

Ryou went back into the fitting room, slipped into his old clothes, and handed the new ones to Malik.

After they had left, they sat very close together on a bench. Ryou could have sworn his cheeks were never ever that red before. "Ryou?"

"Yeah."

"Are you busy tonight?"

"Nope."

"Would you care to do something with me tonight?" 'It would mean the world to me' Ryou though before answering.

"Okay."

"That's great we are going to Light and Dark."

Ryou just stared open mouthed at Malik.

Authors Notes- Sorry for the delay, umm exams are coming up in a week and I'm supposed to be studying it doesn't help when the teacher hasn't given you the review yet. I just want to explain one thing Light and Dark is a night club, something I thought that Ryou wouldn't go by himself, unless forced by someone he has a crush on. E-mail me any questions concerns, ideas or what not, if you want to talk add me to your MSN messenger list. Now if only I could get inspiration for Shattered Mirrors.
