@game-weaver said: He stares at Malik for a long moment over the rim of his mug of tea.

Malik stared back as soon as he noticed Yugi's eyes on him. He raised an eyebrow. "Something on your mind, Yugi?"

"E-excuse me, I was hoping you could help me find a book?" Nathaniel smiled at the shopkeep, hoping desperately that he wouldn't seem to notice the current squirming mess that was his hair.

A small griffin landed on the counter with the register and hissed at him before chasing after a mouse. A blond stood up from behind the counter with a book of books. He smiled and set the box down. “Of course how can...” He titled his head and poked one of the soft feeling tentacles and watched and it squirmed. “Oh my! I haven’t seen your kind in a while! Oh yes, how can I help you?”

@game-weaver said: Yugi walks right up to Malik....And pulls him down into a sudden kiss.

Malik had been in the middle of cooking and nearly dropped the spoon he was holding when Yugi dragged him down. He gave a muffled sound of surprise before quickly melting into the kiss.

The spoon eventually made a dull thud onto the countertop as he turned to draw his boyfriend into his arms.

After a moment, he drew back with a sharp intake of air. "...you okay?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. "Not that I ever mind you kissing me..."

@game-weaver said: Yugi took a step back and admired his work for a minute. He had spent most of the day in the kitchen trying his hand at Egyptian dishes, and a good few. Finally nodding, he went to find Malik and wrapped his arms around him, pressing a kiss to his neck. "Happy birthday, I have a surprise for you."

Malik had been quiet for the majority of the day. If not for Yugi's presence, he would've spent his entire birthday holed up in his room. Instead, he had managed to crawl out of the bed and deposited himself on the couch, only occasionally looking back towards the bustling noises coming from the kitchen.

He blinked when Yugi came to him but instinctively leaned into the affectionate touch. "You do...?" he asked softly. He could certainly smell the familiar scents of Egyptian spices. It was soothing in a way he couldn't explain.

@penandswords said: Rima is munching on Carolina Reapers. She notices Malik. OH HEY that's the guy from the club. "Want one?" She offers him a pepper.

Malik just stared at Rima for a moment before looking down at the foreign pepper. "...what is it?"

Despite how well studied he was, he was still very sheltered due to living underground for half of his life. "...I know it's a pepper, but I've never seen that kind before."

Marik crossed his arms as he appeared through a portal and frowned as he took in the sight of this world's version of himself. "Well, how pathetic are you? Being all nice now, and soft..."

Malik had been minding his own business, taking a walk through Domino City's park to soak in the decent weather when he suddenly saw...

...his own face staring back at him from a portal in the air...??

"Okay, what the fuck is this...?!" he demanded shrilly, taking a large step backwards from whatever the fuck was going on. He furrowed his eyebrows, initially believing it to be his other personality come back from the Shadow Realm, but there was something off about that assumption. There was still clear emotion and intent burning in those eyes that mirrored his own.

"...and why does your voice sound so weird...?"

Annnnd Malik's immediately laughing. "H-holy fuck!" he exclaimed. "This is the most hilarious shit I've seen in years!"

He'd been sitting at the bar counter when his phone pinged loudly in his pocket. He wasn't sure who the hell managed to get a hold of his number, but he was glad he was able to see this gem of a video.

Served that pompous asshole right.

@kurai-honoo​ said: "You seem upset. Cold weather bothering you?"

Malik had been minding his own business at a coffee shop, getting himself at least one treat before returning to hole up in his room for another isolated birthday. Of course, the Gods always seemed to have other plans for him.

He had been sitting at a table, staring deeply down at his cup of coffee like it contained the answers to all of life’s riddles. 

He jolted upright, his head jerking in the direction of the familiar voice. He squinted at him. “Are you stalking me now?” he demanded. He really did not wanna deal with this right now. The Pharaoh was absolutely the last person he wanted to see on his birthday.
