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]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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.”

Re: Arrogance and Malepreg
Marik would half-laugh, looking a little relieved, "Good - just because hikari-mine cross-dresses doesn't mean that I do."
Re: Arrogance and Malepreg
Re: Arrogance and Malepreg
Marik would smirk and ask, "Don't you remember his belly-dancing outfit for Halloween?"
Re: Arrogance and Malepreg
Re: Arrogance and Malepreg
And Marik would smirk and respond, "I never said that he doesn't do it often..."
Re: Arrogance and Malepreg
Bakura would laugh and tilt his head some, "He actually cross-dresses... a lot?"
Re: Arrogance and Malepreg
Marik would give Bakura a mock-innocent look and ask, "What makes you think that I'd tell you something like that?"
Re: Arrogance and Malepreg
Bakura would laugh even harder at that and shake his head, "I guess you really do learn something new every day."
Re: Arrogance and Malepreg
Marik would smirk and look as innocent as he can. "You didn't find that out from me..."
Re: Arrogance and Malepreg
Bakura would *still* be laughing and rest his head against Marik, "Of course not."
Re: Arrogance and Malepreg
And Marik would run his fingers lightly through Bakura's hair while adding, "And I certainly don't have photos to show you to prove my words."
Re: Arrogance and Malepreg
Bakura would move his arms from around Marik's waste, to around his neck and then lean back against his chest and laugh a little, "And where would this non-existing photos... be.. or not be?"
Re: Arrogance and Malepreg
Marik would smirk and answer, "Well, if those photos existed, which they certainly don't, they most definitely wouldn't be on Malik's laptop in a folder called 'Grass'.
Re: Arrogance and Malepreg
At that point, Bakura would start laughing louder, "Grass?" After a few moments to calm himself down, Bakura would ask, "And since they don't exist, how much time would one have - if they did exist- to get to them before Malik returns?"
Re: Arrogance and Malepreg
And Marik would smirk even more at Bakura laughing, then state innocently, "Since they don't exist, one would technically have as much time as they like, but I would reccomend not more than twenty minutes."
Re: Arrogance and Malepreg
With a very amused expression, Bakura would ask, "And where does this non-existent laptop that has a limited amount of time to look on it if it did exist... at?"
Re: Arrogance and Malepreg
Marik would blink, sorting out the question, and laughingly reply, "Certainly not in my hikari's room, since it doesn't exist after all."
Re: Arrogance and Malepreg
Bakura would laugh softly at their conversation and then nod, "Care to join me to this non existent room, then?"
Re: Arrogance and Malepreg
Marik would smirk and state mock-submissively "Your wish is my command."
Re: Arrogance and Malepreg
Bakura would slid his hand into Marik's and head off towards Malik's room, "Good."
Re: Arrogance and Malepreg
Marik would swing their interlocked hands, like they're little kids, and possibly hum to himself.
Re: Arrogance and Malepreg
Re: Arrogance and Malepreg
And Marik would lace his fingers through Bakura's, then offer helpfully, "Malik keeps his laptop under his bed."
Re: Arrogance and Malepreg
Bakura would give a single nod and stroll over to the bed and start looking underneath it; pulling out various women's wear and blinking at it.
Re: Arrogance and Malepreg
And Marik would laugh, lying down on the bed, then smirk as Bakura pulls out a bra and suggest, "Try it on, it looks like it would be your color."
