TBH was just experimenting with Japanese textures and style which is what attracted me to the AU (because I love trying out different stuff, lol ) but sure, that could be a reason.

(and I imagined Ryou here speaking in a stereotypical French accent.)

That awkward moment when you are a demon who is crushing hard on a spirit you just met so you remember his accent as being French despite him being British.

No really, I think that would be great if that were canon and if he ever mentions it to anyone else or tries to describe Ryou to anyone when looking for him, they don’t know who Marik is talking about and if it ever got back to Ryou that the demon was crushing on some French spirit, him offering his help to find that spirit for Marik. Marik being too prideful to admit he remembered something wrong, especially to the guy he is crushing on so there is this wild minor hunt for Ryou who is in fact by Marik’s side the whole time making things more awkward.

Marik dreaming of himself being so bad ass and smooth around people delights me to no end! And he seems to be having fairly decent non-sexy daydreams. How cute~

lmao I forgot about finishing this piece. ^^;;

This is not what Marik thought Ryou meant when he had invited him over for tea. To be fair though, he is not used to the other’s British ways and though he says not a word while seated proper on his chair, Marik is starting to feel a warm sensation in his chest. Was it the early grey he was occasionally sipping on that warmed his insides? Or could it possibly be that he was genuinely enjoying the host of the quaint little party’s company?  
“Is the food real?”
“Of course,” Ryou said as he took a slow sip from his floral cup. The heat of the drink adding a touch of color to his typically lily white face.
The innocent answer though allowing Marik’s mind to try and picture how Ryou went about baking goods without hurting himself. A light pink apron around his middle, the rest of his clothes missing for reasons even Marik could not and would not justify despite the many times he thought of the tea host when he was alone in his room.
“My father bought them for us.” A cream puff finding it’s way onto Ryou’s plate while the marvelous illusion in Marik’s head dissipated. The scandalous hopes of his perverted mind dashed as he looked ahead still feeling warm but in another place that was so graciously covered by the table cloth. “You should try some,” Ryou encouraged about to take another sip.
“Yeah,” the blonde spoke quietly holding his delicate tea cut just over the plate. “Just… Give me a minute.”
“I, um, okay.” Ryou continued one to finish his cup while Marik stared ahead wondering why he even bothered to come over. It wasn’t like Ryou saw him as more than a friend anyway. He was just being silly and wanted someone to come over to talk to. Well, at least he was still talking to him.
Silence after that thought followed only to make Marik feel foolish for agreeing to come over in the first place. That was until he looked over to see Ryou had his mouth full with a pastry, getting cream on the sides of his face. The sight innocent but Marik’s mind allowed it to get pornographic. Would Ryou look like that should he had just finished taking a load? Happy, sweet, and making those cute little satisfied noises. The image in his head getting worse as Ryou used his right hand to wipe away the sticky mess only to lick it off his fingers. Marik nearly across the table, mesmerized by the view and his own twist on what was happening that he failed to hear the engine of a car turn off but the moment a car door slammed, he straighten up fast, spilling hot tea on himself which gave Ryou concern at the initial hiss that followed.
“Marik, are you-”
“I’m fine! Just fine me a paper towel,” he demanded, unclipping his cape so he could take off his shirt.A wall of fine, dark muscles in sight and Ryou held tighter onto the bit of napkins he had uprooted from the table. Marik’s head briefly hidden by the black shirt fabric that all Ryou could see were glorious abs and pecs. His face growing hot as he looked away, hand outstretched and holding ruffled napkins.
“Thank you.” Marik cleaning himself up and noticing the tea wasn’t enough to scald him. Good he thought bitterly though on the up side it had been enough to stifle that erection he had going on.
“I, uh… I have some shirts if you want to borrow one,” Ryou offered so Marik would not have to go home just yet. His face still stained with color as he secretly prayed Marik would stay but refuse to replace his soiled shirt just yet.
“Got anything in black?”
“Hmm… I’m sure Bakura does.” Damn. Marik was going to get a replacement. Well, at least that would allow him to stop staring at- He heard his name and squeaked, bumping into the table as he tried to stand at attention. “Yes?” he blurted out.
“…Okay then… Can I borrow one of your’s instead?” The two looking confused at one another while Marik piled napkins onto the table’s edge.
“What?” Oh god, what had he just said yes to?
Ryou had that look he tended to get when he would half doze off in class from a long night of working on one of his silly table top games. The Ishtar sighing as he shook his head. “I asked if you thought he would mind if I borrowed one. If you think he will then give me whatever baggy shirt you have. No offence but anything that fits you right might just make for a belly shirt for me.” Ryou liked that idea. Seeing more of Marik’s lower abs while wearing one of his shirts. It would almost be like they were dating!
“Right this way,” and with that, Ryou lead the way back to hid room, ignoring the idea that Bakura’s tops would have been a better fit. After all, even if Bakura would have been fine with it, it was not like Marik needed to know that…

Quick doodles of Little Mariku [AU] before I head to bed. 🙂

Watch whoever was being mean to Ryou stay a good yard or so away from Marik and tell Ryou to come out and quit being a coward. 
Marik just tells them to go ahead and take Ryou but they hesitate and Ryou is now pulling on the back of Marik’s shirt desperately, but the bullies are unnerved by Marik’s resting bitch face that they take off. 
Marik then has to shake himself free of Ryou and turns to ask him what that whole mess was about but before he can say anything, Ryou hugs him tight. 
Marik is at a loss of words and clearly has no idea what to say or do for a good few seconds and by the time his mind registers what happened, Ryou is bounding off to find his brother.
