[Team four] just a smudge
Back to the neverending angstshipping wip!
YGO, g-rated, less than 300 words
"He made me keep it secret, I think he wanted to surprise you."
Even through the closed door, Malik hears Ishizu speaking to Rishid in the living room. He supposes the surprise isn't going to be much of a shock now when Rishid gets to the kitchen, but Malik doesn't mind too much. He's too excited for Rishid's reaction when he sees all the food he and Ryou prepared.
"I think everything is ready," Ryou whispers as he fiddles with the stove to make sure it's turned off now that they're done cooking. "It all smells so good."
Malik grins. He's sure the heavy scent of spices filling up the house is what tipped Rishid off. But it's not like they could hide that.
He's just about to open the door and invite his siblings to eat when he notices a smudge of sauce on Ryou's cheek. Cooking together had been a messier endeavor than he'd expected.
Malik reaches out to brush the spot away before he can think better of it. His thumb glides across Ryou's pale cheek, and he's seized with the sudden urge to brush his fingers across more than just his face.
It feels like time stops for a moment, and there's nobody else in the whole world but Malik and Ryou.
And then Malik realizes how weird it is to be touching his friend like this, and he jerks back, embarrassed. Ryou doesn't say anything, but his face is a little flushed now.
Before Malik can apologize, however, the door opens and Ishizu and Rishid step inside the kitchen.
"Surprise!" Malik shouts, maybe a touch too loud. "Happy birthday, brother!"
Ryou echoes a polite "happy birthday" cheer as well.
Malik chooses to focus on the dinner they painstakingly prepared and to make sure Rishid has a great time. Maybe it's best to forget about what just happened with Ryou.
Or, at least, think about it later when he's alone.
Azurrys is up next!
