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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.

>.> True... ne... I guess if I tried to come up with an explanation then that would mean I should deal with that for Bakura as well x.X Unless I want to contradict myself x.x; *slouches*

*blinks* x.x Yeah... LoL!!!! *snortsgiggles* I've got this image of you pouncing him and a too-shocked ... x.X See... I'm willing to stay out of his way :P Unless I could pounce him only if I could get away fast enough for him to not see me >.>;

LoL!! xDDD Bakura would smirk and ask him what will he get ouf of it if he doesn't - and look innocently when he does xD Hm... Bakura would question how Marik would know...

Re: Arrogance and Malepreg

[identity profile] fickle-goddess.livejournal.com 2004-11-19 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
See? Be arrogant. It's good for you.

XDDDDD, I wouldn't pounce him straight-away. I'd try to talk to him first, then we'd end up in a fight, and once we both back away and sort of just eye each other, waiting for the next attack... THAT's when I'd pounce him. Since that's when he wouldn't be expecting it. *likes the sneak attack*

Marik would blink. Then glare. Then tell Bakura that what he gets is Marik actually using preparation and protection instead of just fucking him raw as punishment for having ever been pregnant in the first place.

Re: Arrogance and Malepreg

[identity profile] xinda.livejournal.com 2004-11-19 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL sounds like it's some sort of commercial or something :P

LOL!!! Sneakypounceattack xDDD Makes sense coming from you ^.~ Since you always sneakypounce me on msn x.X And even aim >.>;; see >.> I'm too shy *cough* for my own good, that I'd probably not talk to Bakura, he'd leave, and I'd be regretting it for always *nodu*

LMFAO!!!! Bakura would probably look kind of shocked at first and then snap and say that it wasn't his fault that he got pregnant since Marik *obviously* had something to do with it... And then half-jokingly, half-seriously- suggest that until he get's 'fixed' so that he can't get pregnant, then he should be seme to keep himself from getting pregnant again...

Re: Arrogance and Malepreg

[identity profile] fickle-goddess.livejournal.com 2004-11-19 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Arrogance. Reccommended by the Surgeon General.

MUAHAHAHAHAHA! Well, you should talk to Bakura. Tell him that you need his help for RPs and that unless he wants to be dressed in a pink tutu, he will cooperate. XD

Marik would smirk at Bakura's shock, then have expected Bakura to point out that very few people have immaculate pregnancies anyway, so be fine with that. The idea of being 'fixed' though, would Marik cringe, since he'd think of cats being neutered, then narrow his eyes at the idea of Bakura being seme before telling him that there is no way that Marik is willing to even risk getting pregnant.

Re: Arrogance and Malepreg

[identity profile] xinda.livejournal.com 2004-11-20 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
xDDD *cough* Coming to a store near you?

xDD Jeez... and he'd probably agree- until demanding what these "RPs" are and insist on reading x.x I think he might seriously want to avoid me then 0.0 But, the pink tutu might help xDD

LMFAO *nods* as soon as I put 'fixed' I thought "cats" xDDD *cough* >.>;; well, Bakura shouldn't have much knowledge in that area, right? Bakura would frown and roll his eyes and ask why Marik is cringing, and that he thought Marik wanted him to not be able to get pregnant again... Bakura would laugh and ask if Marik wants to be checked to see if he can get pregnant or not ;P And then mutter that it's not fair that there's almost 100% chance that he won't be able to have the child, Marik's happy about it and he still doesn't get to be seme *insert pouty Bakura here*

Re: Arrogance and Malepreg

[identity profile] fickle-goddess.livejournal.com 2004-11-20 10:51 am (UTC)(link)
I'd hope you buy some if it does...

LOL! Or he'd try to help you make him seme, too scared of what you'll do if he avoids you altogether - like put him a pink tutu and make him bat his eyelashes at Atemu. XD

XDDD, Marik would tell Bakura that being fixed is the same as being neutered, which means having parts cut off... then hope that Bakura gets the hint. And at being asked if Marik wants to check his own ability or non-ability to get pregnant, Marik would flush and snarl, but say that yeah, he does, then smirk at Bakura's muttering while thinking how cute it is... andd possibly offer that Bakura can be seme if he goes to get protection and sucks Marik off.

Re: Arrogance and Malepreg

[identity profile] xinda.livejournal.com 2004-11-20 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
It'd probably be expenensive..

xDDD *cough* possibly xDD Though, Atemu would be /really/ mean o.o; >.> Hmmmm... I'd hafta say the next worse person, since Atem's just wrong to use ;P

Bakura would arch a brow and then as what Marik said sunk in, he'd visably cringe and almost look like he's ready to lower himself, or ball up, but doesn't...still shocked looking and then use the mention to check about possible pregnancies when the doctor calls, he'll ask - and mutter that he's going to ask how they plan on making sure he can't get pregnant again. Bakura's eyes would widen and probably ask Marik to promise that he'll get to be seme ... with him, when he get's back if he does both.

Re: Arrogance and Malepreg

[identity profile] fickle-goddess.livejournal.com 2004-11-20 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd send you the money. It would be worth it, to make you arrogant.

No, it has to be Atemu. Has to be the worst possible person to make Bakura get in line. Alternatively, you could threaten to let Marik molest Devlin forget Bakura and settle for Ryuuji.

XDDDDDDDD, Marik would smirk at Bakura cringing, then pout slightly at needing to promise, but agree and promise to let Bakura do that if Bakura does both of the other things.

Re: Arrogance and Malepreg

[identity profile] xinda.livejournal.com 2004-11-20 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL oh jeez x.X *pulls some confidence this way* x.X

yeah.... o.o;; Yeah... *cough* *clears throat* settle for Ryuuji might be one to use as well... I'm sure he'd behave then...

^^;; Bakura would glare at the smirk and then smirk at the pout and tilt his head before saying that Marik has to promise that it has to be with -him- and not to be seme to some random person Marik finds to keep his promise... and then Bakura would say he'll do both if that's agreed - and which one first

Re: Arrogance and Malepreg

[identity profile] fickle-goddess.livejournal.com 2004-11-20 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
*grins* Confidence is a good start! Now kick it up a notch to make it arrogance XD

lol, yeah, then Bakura would definitely be willing to help you RP.

Marik would probably widen his eyes with shock and demand to know why the hell Bakura even thinks that Marik would be willing to let Bakura fuck some random person. And still avoid giving a solid promise :P

Re: Arrogance and Malepreg

[identity profile] xinda.livejournal.com 2004-11-20 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
LoL! I need to get the confidence first xDD Right now, it's a bit better than yesterday, but still not there x.x

*nods* xDDD Most definetely *snugs him* Oh, and I could use so many things so that I could hug him and not be hurt and--- nvm >.>;

xDDD Bakura would laugh at Marik's shock and point out that while Marik doesn't break promises, he will make sure to do what he can without breaking them and just wants to make sure that he get's his end of the 'deal'.

Re: Arrogance and Malepreg

[identity profile] fickle-goddess.livejournal.com 2004-11-21 10:02 am (UTC)(link)
Well, we'll get you confidence if you must. And definitely, we will get you arrogant!

*laughs* Looks like you're becoming evil. And evil leads to arrogance, so that's all good to me.

Marik would snort at that, unable to argue, then smirk at Bakura while telling him that there is no way Marik wants Bakura fucking anyone who isn't him. Then pause and point out that the whole being seme thing would be a one-off deal.

Re: Arrogance and Malepreg

[identity profile] xinda.livejournal.com 2004-11-21 01:37 pm (UTC)(link)
^^;; one step at a time?

LOL!! *snorts* *cough* Me...evil? Never ;P I'd never actually do anything *nodu* But I can still come up with some things *pokes Baku* >.> like to get him to cooperate and wonder which ones I'd actually do...

Bakura would smirk at until the pause, at which point he would arch an eyebrow and ask Marik what he means by that; figuring what he means, but thinking if it's what he thinks it is then he might change his mind.

Re: Arrogance and Malepreg

[identity profile] fickle-goddess.livejournal.com 2004-11-21 02:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Fine, fine, whatever, as long as you get arrogant in the end.

XD, yeah you. My evilness will rub off on you. And poor Bakura. He'll have a worse time with you than Marik with me :P

Marik would answer that it just means that Bakura gets to be seme that one time for doing those two things, and that he is not going to play uke the whole night long just because Bakura has a high sex drive.

Re: Arrogance and Malepreg

[identity profile] xinda.livejournal.com 2004-11-21 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
*blinku* I would almost think you're giving up hope :P

LoL!!! Jeez... xDDD Naw... Bakura wouldn't really - I mean, other than baking cakes and-- okay, not really o.O

*dies* Bakura would pout and mention that he's had to be uke for more than one time in one day... and night... and then start counting his fingers to how many times he had been uke in 24 hours and say that what Marik's saying wouldn't be fair.

Re: Arrogance and Malepreg

[identity profile] fickle-goddess.livejournal.com 2004-11-21 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not. I'm just saying that I don't care how you get arrogant as long as you do :P

X_X You'd make him bake cakes?! ARE YOU CRAZY?! He'd set your house on fire accidentally!

XDDDDD, then Marik would glare at Bakura's fingers as if he's considering chopping them off, and mutter something about fine, fine, but only for that night. First ray of light and Marik's out of there.

Re: Arrogance and Malepreg

[identity profile] xinda.livejournal.com 2004-11-21 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
^^;; LOL!! So if I - by some ubber rare chance- become more arrogant than you, you'd be fine with it? :P

LoL!! Actually-- we both might catch something on fire and then stare at the flames "pretty" xDD

LoL!!! *snorts* Bakura would pout slightly, but then smirk and say then mutter that this should happen more often... then tell Marik to *promise* that it'll be him to be uke to Bakura and then he'll agree and do what he was requested to do :P

Re: Arrogance and Malepreg

[identity profile] fickle-goddess.livejournal.com 2004-11-21 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
...I'm too arrogant for that to ever happen :P

XD, and your family? Marik would be so pouty that Bakura gets to burn stuff while he's fighting for his life :P

lol! *giggles* Marik would narrow his eyes at the idea of it happening more often, and tell Bakura no chance in hell, and then widen his eyes at being asked to promise that he'd do whatever he is asked to do, and point out that he promised to be uke, not be a fucking slave.

Re: Arrogance and Malepreg

[identity profile] xinda.livejournal.com 2004-11-21 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL Well I don't think I could ever be that arrogant anyways :P

xDD Ummm... >.> I wouldn't let Baku do it until we have our own place *cough* xDD Yep ^-^ Baku and I would be burning things... and he'd be teaching me about knives and daggers xDDDD *cough* ^-^ >.> and other things.

I can just imagine this and they're so cute xDD >.> in a twisted sort of way ^^;; Bakura would laugh and say that he just means to make the promise as agreed upon and he'll do what was requested, but still pout that it would be ... fair of Marik to not just allow this to happy only once...

Re: Arrogance and Malepreg

[identity profile] fickle-goddess.livejournal.com 2004-11-21 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
XD, just a little arrogance would be enough.

...what, so this would be a permanent thing? Wait, Bakura *living* with you? I'd expect him to want to get back to his world ASAP... or at least try to find Marik and Devlin.

lol, yeah, in a twisted PREGNANT way. And Marik would answer fine, then promise to be uke for Bakura until dawn if Bakura sucks him off now and then goes to get enough protection to last the night - and that if they run out of condoms, then Marik doesn't have to be uke anymore, and if he's still aroused at that point, it'll be Bakura's responsibility to fix that. *coughs* As you can see, Marik isn't leaving any loopholes.

Re: Arrogance and Malepreg

[identity profile] xinda.livejournal.com 2004-11-21 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
^^;; We shall see.

*blinks* Oh no *rubs hands together* He's living with me. But I'ma help him find Marik and Devlin, b/c I like Devlin >.> And then I can meet Malik too ^-^ And... get on Baku's good side so he keeps Marik from wanting me dead o.O b/c if he wants Ryou dead then he'd definetely want me dead x.x

Yep, twisted pregnant way ^^;; LMFAO!! Wow... Marik makes sure to cover everything x.X uh... Bakura would agree to that - and if it just so happens that the same goes for him, then Marik will have to take care of it as well. *blinks* ... that could really go on forever x.X Wtih breaks and the like *cough* ((*goes back to see Marik poking a tired Baku for sex*))

Re: Arrogance and Malepreg

[identity profile] fickle-goddess.livejournal.com 2004-11-22 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
We are getting your arrogance though :P

X_X Wouldn't that mean you'd have to put up with Bakura, Marik and Devlin all living with you? Since I doubt that they'd want to be separated... and that would drag me along as well. And Kat, since Kat comes whereever I do :P

XD, if he has to make promises like that, then he is damn well going to make sure that there aren't loopholes for him to get suckered into doing something else. And Marik would want to know why he has to take care of something like that for Bakura when the situation is Bakura's fault anyway - and not forever. Marik is outta there at dawn, remember?

Re: Arrogance and Malepreg

[identity profile] xinda.livejournal.com 2004-11-22 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
LoL *cough* We shall see ^^;

*blinks* Mmhmm... And Malik will need Marik, so he'll come along as well... and we'd need a pretty big place to live at *nods* *cough* So long as you and Marik behave yourselves :P

xDDD Bakura would say that it's not his fault, he wasn't trying to get pregnant, nor did he think he could - and that would make it equally Marik's fault as well if anyone is to have blame. And Bakura would state that if Marik can't leave until... *taps chin* they're both equally satisfied and while saying this, casually have his hand over Marik's crotch and tilting his head innocently*

Re: Arrogance and Malepreg

[identity profile] fickle-goddess.livejournal.com 2004-11-22 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
You are getting arrogant. I command it.

...then EKYO comes along as well. *innocence* Me and Marik behave ourselves? What, do you think that we're constantly going to be battling to see who is more evil? XD

lol, Marik would give Bakura's stomach a pointed look and say that as the one carrying the baby, he's to blame. And if Bakura had his hand positioned like that, Marik would have his eyes as wide as saucers and be trying to rub up against it, muttering under his breath about evil fucktoys.

Re: Arrogance and Malepreg

[identity profile] xinda.livejournal.com 2004-11-22 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
xDDD I am not... a... uh... x.X nvm -.-

xDD Exactly.... that would be an interesting house-hold x.x *cough* xDDD Jeez... >.> Just so long as you two keep your proving who's more evil away from *me* ... and Baku-babe :P He & I will be too busy *nods*

Bakura would glare and say it's not his fault that he's always uke and thus is the one to get pregnant IF either of them were going to get pregnant... and then he would pout slightly at what he said... xD Bakura would probably move his hand closer and then pull it back and put his hands behind his back and ask if Marik's going to keep the promise - smirking at his muttering.

Stuff and Malepreg
