The Viking Brothers


Chapter 25: Love Triangles

Ryou carried a basket of clean laundry as he walked down the long hallways. He still got lost once in awhile in this place, to many turns and steps. He had to bring the clean sheets up to one of the tower rooms. No one was staying there, so he really didn’t see the reason to do the laundry. And now since Duke wasn’t here, the laundry all fell on him. What rotten luck.

Right when he was nearing the room, the sound of moaning and grunting caught his ears. Curiously, he looked around the turn and gave a short intake of breath at what he saw. Bakura was coupling with one of the servants, a male by the looks of it. The sight froze him in place and the basket fell from his hands. It hit the floor with a light p’, p’, pausing the two in their movements. Ryou bent down to pick up the fallen basket when his eyes meat with Bakura’s.

“Ryou?!” Ryou picked up the basket and bowed quickly.

“I-I’m sorry to bother you. Excuse me.” He turned and ran down the hallways, heading down the hallways to Bakura’s room. The laundry could wait until tomorrow, so he brought the basket with him. Placing it on the floor next to the desk, he quickly busied himself by dusting the room. Of course, he had dusted it yesterday, but he wanted to be doing something if Bakura came in. The image of Bakura with another man tore at his heart. He knew that Bakura was sleeping around, but he didn’t want to see it! He knew he couldn’t be the only one in Bakura’s eyes. The door suddenly flew opened almost making Ryou jump out of his skin.

“Ryou, you weren’t meant to see that.” Ryou forced himself to smile.

“Oh no, its quite alright. I was just bringing some fresh sheets to one of the rooms in that hallway.” Bakura glared at him and crossed his arms.

“Don’t force that smile with me, Ryou! I know you love me, and seeing me with another man hurt you. I’m sure of it, so stop trying to hide it.” Ryou just shook his head.

“Oh, I don’t mind, master. If that is what makes you happen, then I’m happy.” Bakura’s brows went up in surprise.

“You don’t mind if I sleep with others, including you?” Ryou nodded.

“Yes, as long as you are content with doing it, then I’ll say nothing against it. I know I’m just like the others to you, but that’s okay. As long as I’m able to be with you, then I’m happy. That’s all I ask.”

Bakura didn’t know what to say to that. For a second, he thought that Ryou couldn’t be real, since no real person would say something like that. Unless he is upset and just won’t show it. Yeah, that sounded more like Ryou. He couldn’t deal with this right now, he had some warm beds to go to.

“Very well then, carry on with your work.”

That’s all he said before he left the room, leaving Ryou all alone. He decided to stop thek fok for today and just go to bed. The thought of laying next to Bakura, smelling like sex, just turned his stomach. So, he’d just go sleep in the servant quarters tonight. But first, he wanted to make a trip to Seto’s room. Ryou thought that the best way to understand Bakura is talk to someone who has known him a lot longer. He was afraid to talk to Marik, and he couldn’t bother Yami right now, so that only left Seto.

With his mind made up, he rushed down the halls to Seto’s room, managing not to get lost. When he made it to the door, he first listened against it, to make sure he and Jou weren’t “occupied” at the moment. Hearing nothing, he gently knocked on the door. He knew Seto wasn’t asleep yet, he had a lot of paper work to do.

“Who is it?” Seto’s voice carried through the wooden door.

“It’s Ryou, may I come in?”

“Sure.” Ryou entered the room and saw Seto at his desk, writing something out. “What do you need, Ryou?” Ryou twiddled his fingers, feeling a tad be nervous. Seto did make him uneasy a bit.

“Um, I was wondering, if you aren’t busy, if you could explain something to me?” Seto put down his quill and turned the chair around to face Ryou.

“What is it you want explained?” Seto asked

“I...I want to know more about Bakura.” Seto raised an eyebrow as he folded his fingers together and crossed his legs.

“More about him? Why?” Ryou cleared his throat.

“Um, for certain reasons. But want I want from you is, some more detail about Bakura’s character.” Seto scoffed.


“You know his character as well as I, Ryou.” Ryou shook his head.

“No, you’ve known him a lot longer than I have and could probably explain him better. I caught him today coupling with a servant. I mean, I know he does that, and I told him I loved him, but het dot doesn’t seem to care.” Seto sighed

ll, ll, I think that comes from his past. From what Yami told me, their father saw other women all the time, and Bakura was usually the only one to see. In case you haven’t noticed, he’s very tricky and likes to lurk, so it’s no surprised he snooped on his father. Bakura saw what his father did almost everyday, and he was pretty young. Maybe at least 5 or 6. I don’t think he knows any other way, according to Yami, whatever their father said was like words from the gods, so Bakura probably figures that’s the only way. He thinks it’s right.” Ryou sniffled, trying to hold back tears.

“But...but Marik was just like Bakura, but he stopped because of Malik.”

“Well, Malik’s will is much stronger than yours. He’s more determined to get his own way, and Marik likes someone who challenges him. Both of them are almost exactly alike in every way. Whereas you, you’re scared of Bakura, easily intimidated. You ARE like everyone else to him. You have to learn not to fear him, like Malik doesn’t fear Marik. Well, to an extent, but it is very small. Stop playing the timid little rabbit, you’re better off being an lamb; attracting a wolf, mainly Bakura. Be a bit more firm, but keep your gentle side, and-“ Seto stopped in his sentence as he got a strange sense of Deja Vu.

“Seto? Is something wrong?” Seto shook his head.

“That’s strange, I had the weirdest sense of deja vu.”

“I’ll leave now, you look pale. Is there anything I can get for you?” Seto shook his head.

“No, I’ll be alright. I hope I shed some light on your question?” Ryou smiled.

“Yes, thank you Seto. Sleep well.”

When Ryou left the room, Seto quickly cleaned up all his papers from desk. He had a certain idea that his metaphor came from his dream, since it has been plaguing on his mind. He hoped it didn’t have anything to do with his dream, but that he only used the piece as an example. That had to be it. Still, something didn’t feel right....


Yami’s room:

“Yami...” Yami stirred as he heard his name spoken. It was weak. “Yami...” he had a horrible headache, he dran muc much. Where was he anyway. He blinked his eyes opened, taking in the soft light of early morning. “Yami...” as his vision cleared, he realized that he was in his room. “Yami...” that sounded like Yugi. YUGI!?!? Yami shot up from the bed and looked down next to him. “Yami...you’re...awake.”

“YUGI!!” Yami tu ont onto his hands and knees and looked down at Yugi’s half lidded eyes. “Thank the gods!!” Yami fell back on his knees and he gently lifted Yugi’s body up to embrace him. “You’re alive!! You’re alive!!” Yami felt like he could cry. His Yugi was alive!! He wasn’t dead!!

“Yami...I’m cold.” Yami nodded and gently laid Yugi back down on the bed. He jumped off and grabbed an extra blanket from the wardrobe. He laid it over the previous blanket and brought both up to Yugi’s chin.

“Are you warmer now?” Yugi smiled.

“Yes...lay with...me...warm me-“ Yami climbed back into bed and laid next to Yugi, being mindful of his wound. “Mm...Yami...”

“Yugi, I’m so glad that you’re alive! Are you in pain, love?” Yugi let a tear slip from his eye as he nodded.

“Yes...it burns...Yami...”

“Yugi please, please don’t cry! I can’t stand it! I wish I could take your pain away! I don’t want you to suffer, you don’t deserve it!”

“I don’t...want you...to...to suffer...either, Yami. I...I don’t...I don’t want...want you to...to...have my...my pain...” Yami shook his head and buried his face in Yugi’s neck.

“No, I’d take any pain away from you if I could! It should be me with that wound, not you.”

“Yami...Yami...I’m tired...so tired...”

“Sleep little one, sleep. I’ll be here when you wake up.” Yugi smiled and closed his eyes, feeling safe, cared for, and warm. Yami was his best medicine.

Marik and Malik took Avaldamon out for an early morning ride through the woods. Malik sat in front of Marik as Avaldamon walked slowly on the forest path. Malik cuddled up close to Marik and placed his head under Marik’s chin. Marik smiled and picked a newly bloomed flower from a tree. It was an apple tree flower, but still pretty none the less. He held it out in front of Malik and he took it, smelling the sweet fragrance.

“Thank you, Marik, it’s smells so pretty.”

“You smell pretty too. What did you wash with?” He asked, sniffing Malik’s hair.

“Oh, just some herbal stuff I stole from Seto.” Marik continued to sniff Malik, making him giggle. “What are you doing?”

“You smell so nice...almost like a cake, or a cookie.” He wiggled his eyebrows and grinned. “Now you’ve gone an done it, you made me hungry. Now I’ll have to eat you.” Marik starting making munching noises as his nipped and bit all over Malik’s neck and exposed shoulders.

“Stop that Marik! It tickles!! EEP!” Marik brought Avaldamon to a sudden halt and nearly ripped the tunic off Malik’s back. “Marik?!”

“Turn your body around.” Malik did as he was told with some difficulty but managed to settle somewhat comfortably on the saddle. He felt Marik’s erection through the leggings and he smirked.

“You get aroused so easily, darling.”

“It’s all your doing. You didn’t really expect me to ride in back of you without getting a hard on? This sweet ass was rubbing in a most provocative way and I think that’s how it was suppose to be, le mie mink. Besides, it’s not THAT warm out to not be wearing any pants.” Malik chuckled and pecked Marik on the nose.

“We should head back to the castle because I refuse to do it on the forest floor. I just wanted to tease you.”

“I’m not that easily teased, and who says we have to do in on the ground?” Marik asked with a frightening grin. “We can just stay .” M.” Malik gasped.

“Not on the back of Avaldamon!”

“Why not? He won’t mind.” Malik blushed angrily.

“Don’t you even stop to think about Avaldamon’s feelings?!” Marik nodded.

“Of course I do, he’s my baby!! Like I said, he won’t mind. Now shut up and let me fuck you.”

Malik ‘eeped’ as Marik pulled the rest of his tunic top down to pool around his waist. Marik’s hungry mouth attacked the lithe chest, his tongue living trails of saliva in their wake. Malik moaned as Marik’s mouth found his nipple, nipping hard and then moving to the other one. Malik held Marik’s head close to his chest and let him have his way.

Marik moved his mouth up to Malik’s lips and brought them into a bruising kiss. Malik moaned into the kiss and let his hands travel to the belt of Marik’s pants. He quickly undid the buckle and both he and Marik helped maneuver the pants to free the straining erection. Malik grabbed the base of the swollen cock and positioned it at his entrance. Marik didn’t give him the chance to lower himself, just thrust up into the tight heat. Malik let out a gasp of surprise but it quickly changed to a moan as he pushed himself down harder, bringing Marik’s member deeper.

““HARDER!....AH! AH!...MORE!...AHH!” Marik growled in his ear and moved to fulfil the pleads. Marik grabbed the reigns and brought Avaldamon into a light trot. Malik screamed in new pleasure as the movemenf thf the horse only intensified Marik’s rough thrusts. He practically bounced up and down Marik’s member, not having to do any work but just hold onto his lover’s neck. Avaldamon was doing all the work now. Avaldamon came to a sudden halt and the force of it jerked Marik’s erection strait into Malik’s prostate.

Marik dropped the reigns and pulled out of Malik, quickly flipping him over to lay on his stomach. The saddle was uncomfortable under him, but that thought left his head as Marik thrust into him again. Malik let out a wail of pleasure as his hands gripped Avaldamon’s mane of white. Avaldamon neighed angrily but it was drowned out by Malik’s screaming and Marik’s grunting.

“Faster! Please!!” Marik’s nails were digging into his hips as he thrust faster. The leather of the saddle was rubbing against his erection as he was pushed back and forth, bringing him closer to climax. Beads of sweat dripped into his eyes and he actually felt himself blushing. Only Marikld mld make him blush, he’d never done it on the back of a horseore.ore. “I’m...I’m gonna cum!!!”

Marik smirked and lifted k’s k’s hips up, slamming into him with the last bit of sex strength he had. With a last scream of ecstasy, Malik came all over the saddle. He fell limp and whimpered slightly as Marik plowed into him a few more times. He moaned low in his throat as he felt his lover spill his seed deep inside him. It warmed his body in the cool morning air. Avaldamon neighed angrily and stomped it’s right front hoof. Marik chuckled and patted his horse’s side.

“You know you liked it!” Malik scoffed and sat back up, fixing his tunic top.

“I told you to think of Avaldamon’s feelings! Now he’s pissed!” Marik stuffed himself back into his pants and took the reigns.

“He’ll get over it. Come on, let’s go lay by the lake for a bit and watch the dragonflies.” Malik smiled and laid back against Marik’s warm, strong chest.

“I would like that, Marik. I need to rest after that performance! On the back of a horse, never heard of it.” Marik brought Avaldamon into a gallop.

“Then I guess we were the first!” Marik was quite proud of himself as they rode silently to the lake.


In the garden:

Ryou hummed to himself as he bent down to smell some roses. Almost all the flowers were in bloom now. He needed to get out of the castle for a bit. He got word that another Bolverk cousin was visiting the castle for a few days. Seto had all the servants working double time, but Ryou managed to slip away and hide. Besides, he’s have had enough of the Bolverk family for one day.

As he turned around the fountain to the benches, he noticed a man sitting quietly and reading a book. He had never seen the man around here before. He was dressed in a rich tunic, so he couldn’t be a servant. The man must have felt his presences for he looked up and smiled gently. The man had stunning blue eyes and rich, black hair tied in a long pony tail. Ryou felt himself flush slightly.

“Hello there.”

“Hell-hello” Ryou answered back, meekly.

“Would you care to join me? I hate being alone.” Ryou couldn’t stop himself from walking over and taking a seat beside the man. “What is your name, beautiful?” Ryou flushed and answered gently.

“My name is Ryou.”

“I’m Davin. Davin Bolverk.” Ryou gasped, this was Bakura’s cousin!

“Oh, forgive me, My Lord! I didn’t recognize who you were!” Davin laughed and closed his book.

“You don’t have to address me as such. Just call me Davin.” He said with a wink, making Ryou blush again.

“O-okay, Davin.”

“So tell me, Ryou, are you by some chance English?” Ryou’s eyes widened but he nodded.

“Yes, am I that obvious?” Davin chuckled.

“Your Norse has a bit of an English accent to it. But fear not, I don’t despise the English like some Viking’s do. I won’t hurt you.” Ryou gave a little sigh of relief, since this Davin’s muscles were an inch bigger than Bakura’s and could break him in half. Ryou found himself flushing again as he clutched his legs together. The man was so charming!

“Would you like to join me in a walk? I would love the company of a beautiful flower nymph.” Ryou giggled at the name.

“My, you are charming, Davin! Yes, I’ll take that walk with you.” Davin smiled and stood up, offering Ryou his hand. Ryou took his hand and stood up, hooking his arm with Davin’s. This was just what he needed to clear his mind of Bakura. If Bakura was able to see other people, then so could he.


Yami’s Room:

Seto entered the room to check on Yugi and he noticed Yami sitting up on the bed with him. He had told Yami to stay away from Yugi until he woke up. He had enough things to worry about without a hysterical Yami. Yami looked over at him with the brightest smile he had ever seen.

“Seto, I want to thank you for saving Yugi’s life.” Seto smiled back.

“Is Yugi awake?”

“Yes, he woke last night. But right now, he’s sleeping peacefully.” Seto walked over to Yugi’s side of the bed.

“Let me have a look at him.” Seto quickly checked Yugi over and made sure the cut was stitched up properly, that he didn’t pull it apart while he slept. “He’s in better shape now, but he’ll have to be bedridden for a few days. But he should be back up to speed soon. Th regular doctors are coming back today, so they’ll get any medicine necessary for him.”

“Thank you again, Seto. I’m so happy right now, I could just kiss you!” Seto sweatdropped.

“I’ll just take a “thank you”, Yami.” They both laughed and the noise woke up the sleeping Yugi.

“Yami...” The both looked down at Yugi and smiled.

“Good morning, Yugi!!” Yami said, kissing Yugi’s forehead.

“Welcome back, Yugi. Are you in any pain?”

“Not as much as before.”

“I’ll see if I can make you something for the pain.”

“Yami...I’m hungry.” Yami turned to Seto.

“Tell the servants to have some soup sent upeto eto nodded.

“I’ll be back later with that pain medicine. I have to mix it first. Get plenty of rest, Yugi.” Seto left the room and Yami turned back to Yugi. Yami took Yugi’s small hand into his and stroked it with his thumb.

“Yugi, I hate seeing you like this.”

“I’m okay...where’s Annar? And Beowulf?”

“Annar is with Mokubd hid his nursemaids. He’s a wonderful playmate for Annar. I think Beowulf is with them too. Seto said he didn’t want any animals around unt until you got better. Something about fleas and fur?”

“Yami, don’t you have work to do?” Yami smiled.

“You are the only thing I care about, Yugi.”

“No, you have work to do. Don’t worry about me.”

“But, you can’t be left alone. Ryou has Duke’s work to do, Tristan’s training the horses, Jou’s with the dogs, Seto’s always busy, Marik and Bakura are worthless, so that only leaves me.” Yugi shook his head.

“Nuh uh, you forgot Malik!”

“Oh, that’s right.”

“Send for him, and go do your work. Also, I want Annar and Beowulf with me. Mokuba is welcomed too.” Yami frowned.

“But Seto said-“ Yugi cut him off.

“I am Seto’s lord and master now too, and I command it.” Yugi smiled, making Yami laugh.

“Wow, you took to your position fast. Okay, I’ll call for them right now.” Yami kissed his lover gently before rolling out of bed. “I’ll be in to check on you later.”

“Bye bye, Yami.” Yugi said with a little wave and a smile.


Keith’s castle:


Pegasus and Keith sat at the table drinking ale in the meeting room. It was a private meeting between the both of them. They had to start plotting out their route of attack. Keith didn’t really like the idea of having the meeting so early in the morning, bugasugasus had requested it. The sooner this stuff got done, the better.

“First off,” started Pegasus “I want to end the assassination attacks.”

“Why?” Keith asked, crossing his arms.

“I just got word that little Yugi was alive and well just like Seto. That’s two assignments that have failed. I suggest we plan our attack now that we have Sigal and Thorn.”

“What purpose do these guys serve again?” Keith asked.

“Why, to fight against Marik of course. If they can keep Marik occupied, then that gives everyone else an advantage to fight. We need to keep Marik AND Bakura out of the battle. They have their own ideas of dealing with those two, especially Bakura.”

Duke wandered down a short flight of stone steps, trying not to trip on the shackles. His act the other day gave him free reign of the castle, but he had to keep the shackles. Damn things were heavy! He stopped in his place as herd mrd men talking, and one sounded like Keith’s. When he turned the corner of the steps, he saw Keith aegasegasus at the table below. Silently, as not to get caught, he snuck down the steps.

“So it would be a complete attack on Yami’s castle.” Keith confirmed.

“That’s right.” Pegasus replied. Duke nearly gasped as he heard those words passed. He made it to the bottom of the stairs and gently slid along the wall, hoping to not get noticed by the two men. Just as he turned around the stone steps to leave the room, Pegasus caught sight of him. “There’s a little bee buzzing around here.” Keith turned around in his seat and saw a few strands of black hair disappear behind the stones.

“Was that-?”

“Yes.” Pegasus finished for him.

“You don’t think he heard us, do you?”

“It’s only obvious he did, since he walked down the steps. It does echo in here.” Keith stood up from the chair.

“I’ll take care of him. You look over the plans a bit more.”


Duke hurried back up to the chamber as fast as his shackled legs could carry him. All his memories were suddenly flowing back to him. He remembered the camp, meeting the others, and sailing to Norway. Even the memory of him over hearing their first conversation came back to him. He remembered now! He was trying to warn Yami of Keith’s attack but lost it when Avaldamon threw him off! Somehow, he HAD to warn Yami!

When he reached the chamber, he quickly insiinside and shut the door. Even if all the memories were flowing back, and he remembered how much he despised Keith, he still had to play the loving “wife”. He had to remember to act like before, and not let on that he got his memories back. That’s why Keith married him, to keep him from tattling! Lousy bastard! Suddenly, the door flew open and Keith entered the room. An actual wave of fear traveled through Duke’s body, realizing he hav have been caught.

“What did you hear down there?!” Duke turned on the water works again.

“I won’t say anything, Keith, but why are you doing such a horrible thing?” Keith closed the door and walked up to Duke, looking down at him with his hands on his hips.

“This goes way back, Duke. Stay out of it.”

“But if you go, you might be killed! And I don’t want that to happen to you.” Duke threw himself again into Keith’s arms. “Why Keith, why? Why do such a horrible thiYou You have enough lands, you have a beautiful castle, you have everything you need to live comfortably. Why are you fighting for more?”

“I have to, Pegasus says-“

”If Pegasus told you to jump off a bridge, would you?” Keith frowned.

“What?”

“Is this your gain, or HIS gain.” Duke sniffled, looking up Keith with teary eyes. “Yami told me that Pegasus owns many of the Bolverk family castles, why is he going for more? Did you stop to think if he is just using you to get what he wants?” Keith’s eyes widened, finding some truth in Duke’s words.


“No, I didn’t stop to think about that. You may be right, Duke.” ‘Bingo’. Duke said to himself.

“I know I am. I want you to stay at home with me, I don’t want you to fight. I’ll miss you too much.” Duke nuzzled Keith’s chest with his cheek. “Just stay with me, please? I want to make you happy, Keith. Give me a chance to warm your heart, please?” he couldn’t believe he was saying this, what SAP!!! He was drowning in it!! “I can make you happy, give me a chance.” He looked up at Keith with the biggest puppy dog eyes he could make. He noticed Keith’s facial features had softened quite a bit. Damn, Seto is wise beyond his years!! “Don’t risk the life of your men for someone else’s cause. Think hard, Keith. Is this what you really want? You don’t need to hold a sword or an axe, just hold me.” oh god, that was a bad line. He’d need mental help after this. All the breath was nearly squeezed out of him as Keith brought him into a bear hug.

“I wasn’t expecting something like that to come out of your mouth! You really mean it, don’t you! No one’s ever wanted to love me before.” ‘I can see why.’ Duke thought to himself. “You wait here. I’ll be right back.”

Keith ran out of the room and through the halls, heading back to the meeting room. To his luck, Pegasus was still there having a snack. Pegasus looked up at him.

“What is it, Keith?”

“I’m stopping my attackYamiYami’s castle.”
