Duel 002: Peaceful Days! The Fluffiest Training Montage Commences

[fluffydeathdealer]

[It's a bit of a pain, being in a school with no teachers.

Ryou Bakura isn't the type of kid who really likes being too active; he's about on the level of most ordinary teenagers. But after being laid up for so long with the burns to his arms and leg, not only is he extremely restless, but he's sure even his metabolism won't hold up much longer, with the amount he eats. That's why, after checking to see that Henry isn't home to take him up on that training offer, he's decided to try treating this like school and taking an hour or so to do his very own gym class, all by himself. It'd be easier with teachers, but... he doesn't have a choice right now.

Most kids probably would just take the break and be lazy, but right now, Ryou's working hard. Apart from the occasional break, he can be found pretty easily in the east wing, dressed in gym clothes and doing everything from running laps on the track field to climbing ropes.

...though that last one is more like 'falling off ropes'. Stupid mats... they don't cushion that fall at all. Hopefully nobody's dumb enough to stand below him.]

Ow...

[Time for a banana and some water, he thinks.]

Ah, I'm so tired...

[obeytherod]

I don't know how to "fast forward"! Just make it get to the point, already.

[He's never done more with the television than turn it on, let alone use a VHS player.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

Kh-! Are you really that useless?! You just press the button with the forward arrow!

[obeytherod]

You act like I've used this sort of thing before!

[He picks up the TV remote, looking at it.

"Forward arrow"...

Malik turns the volume up.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

Everyone starts somewhere.

[He's been out of that cave for weeks at least, and he still can't work a VCR? How annoying.]

...that's an "upwards arrow". You want the one pointing to the right.

[obeytherod]

... [An arrow pointing right...?]

There isn't one.

[fluffydeathdealer]

Eh...?

[Hold on a minute.]

Idiot! That's the wrong remote!

[obeytherod]

Why is there two remotes?!

[This doesn't make any sense! Malik tosses this remote aside and grabs the other one, looking for the "arrow pointing right".

He jams his finger down on it, and the video starts to split and jitter awkwardly as it moves ahead.]

There...

[He was past the intro now, and despite letting go of the button, it's still moving.] Eh...?

[fluffydeathdealer]

Press play. It'll cancel it out.

[A slow sigh.]

One remote is for the television itself. The other is for the VCR.

[obeytherod]

...None of these buttons say "play".

[Bakura really should have seen that one coming.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

[He taps the right button with a sigh.]

That one.

warning: adult content sort of

[obeytherod]

That's a triangle!

[But hey, at least the video started. ...In the middle of two naked women kissing. They weren't even his type!

He glances away, still feeling a bit weird to watch other people...do things. Plus...]

Where's the man?

[fluffydeathdealer]

Triangle means play.

[He snickers a little.]

You said you liked women. So I decided to test that a little.

[obeytherod]

[Malik turns towards Bakura, incredulous.] Why does it need testing? You didn't even get one with women I like!

[fluffydeathdealer]

Hahahaha! Malik! You act so surprised it's difficult to believe you like women... but you act so much like one yourself! GYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[obeytherod]

Ghh... [Malik grits his teeth, shooting Bakura a nasty look before swinging his head back around to watch the television.

Oh...now the two women were doing a bit more than kissing. The sounds they were making spoke to Malik much more than their looks. Although he supposes the blonde one isn't so bad looking at all...]

[fluffydeathdealer]

[Huh... it isn't so bad quality as he was expecting. He should really have checked these other first, just to make sure they were suitable for Malik. Oh well...]

[obeytherod]

[As the two women start to do questionable things to each other, and the cameras pan in for ridiculously crass shots, Malik turns his gaze away again, his cheeks burning darker than ever.

He bounces his foot, as if nervous.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

Malik-kun... if you keep turning away like that, you won't learn much at all.

[Sitting up beside him, he leans over to whisper in his ear.]

If you're good and watch, I'll make it worth your while. Or is it the people in the video that bothers you?

[obeytherod]

[Flustering, Malik quickly swats Bakura's face away from his ear, covering it almost defensively as he leaned back against the arm rest.]

...What does it matter if I learn anything?! It's not like you're a woman.

[Although right now...he kind of wishes he was. It was a fleeting thought; his own hormones were just getting to him.]

And I don't care about them!

[fluffydeathdealer]

Oy, oy... don't be so defensive. It's all part of the experience.

[Getting up, he goes over to the VCR.]

But I'll be happy to change the tapes.

[obeytherod]

... [Malik says nothing to that, and he merely sinks back against the couch. He was already feeling flustered, but at least it wasn't noticeable just yet.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

[Fine, then, he will put the other gay porn in. The male kind. And fast-forward it himself.]

[obeytherod]

[And Malik will just sit here uncomfortably as it starts! Although for now, the two men on screen aren't doing anything more than what he and Bakura already did...]

...Did you even try to get people who would appeal to me?

[Because it sure doesn't seem like it.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

Idiot, do you think I watched them first? I have better things to do with my time. Porn is porn, and there's not many with egyptians in.

[obeytherod]

W-whatever! [Malik just blurts out the word, shifting uncomfortably in his seat.

Shit...he didn't really sound like that when they--did he?!]
