Procrastination hits me again!

“The opposite of love is not hate, but indifference.”

Pick a pairing. Write three drabbles for that pairing, each with a different take on it: love, hate and indifference. In that order, because that’s the order they appear in the quotation. Post them in your journal, and pass this on.

See that meme? I meant to do it for psychoshipping. I really did. Instead, I ended up writing my first ever Dangershipping story/ficlet. Not even a drabble. Two full pages on Microsoft Word. I have no clue how that happened, but I'm blaming it on

nekocutecatchan (or in other words, sneakily dedicating it to her) and posting it here.

...I'll take the meme later.

The theme that I had been trying for was love btw, in case anyone is interested in how off-base I managed to get. All critiques will be gladly accepted.

Existence.

A giggle floated lazily into the office, followed moments later by a smirking Yami no Malik and a mocking call of, “Why Se-to, working again? What a shame. I’d almost think you didn’t miss me.” The dark spirit was the only one who drawled Seto’s name in that particular manner, elongating the syllables to make it sound like a snake’s hiss followed by an axe chop.

“You’re not real.” Seto informed Yami no Malik, without looking up from his laptop. A moment later, the screen was pressed down with a deceptive gentleness, the cinnamon-golden fingers of the other boy wrapping over Seto’s slender, paler hands. The same infuriatingly relaxed laughter sounded again as Yami no Malik started to thoughtlessly bend Seto’s fingers backwards, now seated on his lap. “Silly Se-to. That is what you always say.”

“It’s just as true as the first time that I said it.” Seto coldly replied, not wincing at the feeling of his fingers being pushed to the breaking point. He refused to look at the Egyptian, instead staring at the dark wooden door from which his tormentor had entered. For that, he heard a finger snap, the sharp crack sounding even over the other’s laughter. “But Se-to, if I don’t exist, then how did that finger break?”

Changing tactics as that question was unanswerable, Seto instead reasoned flatly, “You are nothing but a part of Malik Ishtar’s mind. You cannot have a body of your own separate from him meaning you cannot be here. Hence, you do not exist.” For an answer, he received a taunting giggle and dark indigo eyes peered up at him teasingly, half-hidden by lowered eyelids. Tanned fingers deftly undoing buttons, Yami no Malik asked casually, “Does that mean I’m not undressing you?”

A silence, and the sound of heavy cloth hitting the ground with a muffled thud, the metal jingle of belts clashing against each other following. Then a stubborn, single-word reply. “Yes.”

“And that you’re not scared?” Fingers ghosting over the expanse of skin revealed, pressing against the hollow of Seto’s throat and feeling his heartbeat quicken in a way that would never be shown in his words. A curt answer, anger barely-repressed, “I don’t fear what doesn’t exist.”

Laughter sounded yet again, the golden false god sliding off the other’s lap to kneel between his legs and smirk up at him. The words that dripped off his teeth were poison-sweet, the quick flash of teeth ghostly white, seeming to almost glisten under the bright light of the office. “If I don’t exist, then obviously you won’t feel it when I do this…” A hand settled on each thigh, the gold of the bracers cold against Seto’s skin, and the psychopath bent his head after flashing the taller boy another eerie smirk.

Once more, silence fell, cold blue eyes staring steadily at the wooden door, lips pressed together in a thin line to stop any sound escaping them. Any sound at all. This wasn’t happening. There was nothing for him to feel. There was no reason for to react, because there was nothing happening for him to react to.

…and the sudden, shocked gasp that left his lips was due to him seeing a scratch on the door. Nothing to do with a clever tongue curling itself in such a manner that it tangled Seto’s very thoughts.

Again, laughter rang through the room, contaminating the very air as Yami no Malik rose to his feet, now looming over the other boy as he licked his lips, pink tongue seeming to taste the air in a snake-like manner. Wild spikes of dark golden hair covered his eyes, only the perfect cruelty of his smile showing as he guided Seto from the chair to lie over the desk instead, brown head bent to stare at the carpet. Passive. Submissive. All those things that Seto wasn’t. Which made sense. This wasn't happening, so this wasn’t Seto. Or so he told himself, with every shudder that ran through his body.

This wasn’t happening, so this wasn’t him.

Afterwards, instead of laughing, Yami no Malik half-purred as he held the other boy close to him, cradling his pretty doll within gold-laden arms. Trailing his fingers languidly over the cooling skin, he licked at the shell of the other’s ear before he spoke, “Se-to, do you still maintain that I don’t exist?”

Voice empty of all emotion, Seto answered mechanically, “You do not exist. Magic does not exist. Fairy-tales do not come true.”

Laughter. Harsh and wild and free from all constraints of sanity. All traces of playfulness disappeared from Yami no Malik’s eyes, the purple of them starting to burn like the ashes of a phoenix pyre as he tightened his grip on Seto, and cooed as a reply, “Fairy-tales don’t come true. But nightmares do.”

A hard kiss pressed upon bruised skin, “Nightmares live.”

A broken finger twisted sadistically, “Nightmares kill.”

A sudden, harsh bite at a soft shoulder, “Nightmares hate.”

A shockingly-soft whisper, cruel in its deception, “Nightmares love.”

A final, low, victorious laugh.“Nightmares exist. And I am your nightmare.”

~Fin~

The theme that I had been trying for was love btw, in case anyone is interested in how off-base I managed to get, and I wrote it over the course of three hours or so, since I kept getting distracting which might account for the different styles used. All critiques will be gladly accepted.

LoL Ooooh Okay, NOW it makes sense xDD b/c... I'm not evil o.O

LoL!!! *snorts* Oi. The first thing I saw was Bakura JAW-DROPPED and then yelling that of course he didn't INTEND to get pregnant, considering that as far as he knew males could NOT get pregnant - so there's no way he would have done it on purpose. But now that he is, he's not going to get rid of it.

No, but you will be arrogant. *smirks* I can promise you that.

LOL, yeah, not exactly the type of thing that one would expect Bakura to plan... and Marik probably smirking a little at being able to make Bakura lose control and yell, then pouting when he remembers that Bakura yells a lot before asking what on earth does Bakura have against rid of it?

*blinks* >.> Well... how about not being fully upset about something that I suppose I should be -- and instead almost shrugging it off and not stressing over unknown things? xD Does that count for something >.> *confuses you*

Exactly. Plan to get items...sure. Plan to steal... sure. Plan to get what he wants... yeah. Plan to get pregnant? No. LoL!! xDD *huggles Bakubabe* He'll say he has his reasons... he doesn't want to get rid of it and that whether Marik wants/likes it or not, that it'll still be a part of Marik.

That is good. That counts for not letting people get to you. Now, use that as a base to tell yourself that what other people think doesn't matter because you are better than all of them, MUAHAHAHA!

Plan to get pregnant and have Marik accuse him of sleeping around? XD, not likely. Marik is going to demand to know those reasons, and tell Bakura that it's just another human, and that the idea of having fathered something like that disgusts him.

LoL!! Um... x.X LoL I think I'll stick with what I have for now :P

LoL! Exactly *nods* Bakura wouldn't do that ;P um... Bakura would ask why it matters anyways since Marik doesn't want the child so regardless what he says isn't going to make a difference in how he thinks - and regardless of all of that, he still plans on keeping the child.

No. Get arrogant. And do it now!

Marik would claim that he still wants to know the reasons though, and that the child is not something that Bakura should want.

Hm. How about stabbity-mood instead of arrogance? *big hopeful eyes*

Bakura would ask Marik /why/ shouldn't he want and why Marik thinks he knows what he wants to begin with.

Only if you think that you're justified in wanting to stab things because you're better than everyone else.

...and Marik would answer because Bakura is supposed to be evil and evil people do not get pregnant and have babies. It lacks style. And Marik would point out that Bakura usually makes it clear what he wants, then smirk and toss in that Bakura's normally screaming for it. Or begging. And wait to see if Bakura would slap him for that.

No. Just b/c I'm in a very not good mood and want to stab something *sulks* too bad that's not good enough.

And Bakura would remind him that it wasn't like he knew he could get pregnant nor tried to even if he knew. Then... he would probably resist saying or doing anything further and say something about he has nothing else to say on the matter and if that's all, he's going to go somewhere.

Well, you can still stab stuff. You just need to be arrogant as well.

And Marik would point out that Bakura can remedy the whole being pregnant thing, and if Bakura tries to move away from him, Marik would just grab his wrist and yank, hard, to indicate that the discussion is not over yet.

*sulks* Meh. I was almost more... uh... snappy - but not arrogant x.x

Ne... Bakura would continue to say that he's pregnant now and he's going to deal with it - that he's keeping the child and not going to get rid of it - so what else is there to say... then probably stand there knowing that Marik still doesn't want it and wait for him to say something.

You will be arrogant. Soon. XD

And Marik could just get really frustrated and ask Bakura how he can even stand there and admit to being pregnant?! And possibly glare at Bakura's stomach, then poke it lightly and address it directly with something along the lines of "I hate you and hope you die before you're born."

Soon? How soon is soon? :P

*blinks* Hmm... Bakura would probably for a moment look in a 'he's got a point' sorta thing and then say that he's going to get someone to check on him to find out if he's pregnant and the health of the baby and such... and then probably look confused at Marik until he hears what he says - which he'll then take a step back and narrow his eyes at Marik's finger.

You'll see soon enough how soon you will be arrogant :P

And Marik is just going to laugh and ask Bakura who the hell would take it seriously if a man walked into a doctor's room and asked for a pregnancy test, then smirk at his finger being glared at.

LoL! Why do I feel like it's some... big... thing? ^^; Okay... so it kinda is ~.~

Bakura would say that he could easily get someone to check, that was besides the point... and slightly frown/pout at Marik's amusement in his finger being glared at.

Because it is. Being arrogant is important!

Marik would still laugh at the idea though, then tilt his head to a side and ask Bakura how exactly does he plan on explaining to the others - especially their hikaris - that he's pregnant.

LoL. I need to know why then ;P

Bakura would say that Malik doesn't have to know about it... and Ryou'll probably find out... he'll mumble that he'll force Ryou to help if need be and shrug.

Why being arrogant is important or why you should be it?

Marik would blink, and state that if the child has anything to do with him at all, Malik is going to find out eventually. And if Bakura is planning on locking himself up in the house until the child is born - and how he's going to explain the child existing after that.

.... um... I forgot which one I meant, so both >.>;

Bakura would say that he wouln't need to explain the child to anyone and anything that happens he'll deal with on his own if need be.

You need to be arrogant to cancel out all that self-doubt you've had over the last few years. That answers both questions.

And Marik would laugh, and ask Bakura if he thinks that nobody is going to notice that he's pregnant.

True. It has continued to grow ~.~

LoL! Bakura would say that who would he be around that would ever notice?

So your arrogance should grow now as well!

and Marik would point out that Ryuuji drops by fairly often, so does Malik, and that if Bakura is planning on challenging the Pharaoh again, the entire group will be there and see Bakura pregnant.

LoL! Not if I ever really had it... so it has to be awoken and then grow ;P *cough* yeah >.> sure... *blinks*

Bakura would point out that he just wouldn't challenge the former Pharaoh while pregnant *slightly cringes that he even became pregnant* and that Ryuuji doesn't have to know where he's at...

It's with your inner self. We just need to drag it out. ^_^

Marik would mutter something about how he'd bet that Bakura never expected to be saying something like that, and ask if that does mean that Bakura is going to lock himself up somewhere?

LoL! Yeah... >.> I wonder if hypnosis could do that? :P

Bakura probably would laugh and say something about that he can't believe he's even discussing the fact that he's pregnant -- and then shrug and say that he might...
