Next to Me
Summary: Ryou isn't sure what to think that Joey chosen to relax next to him even though his darker half can easily come out and do harm. It's the soft smile that Joey has that makes his heart warm knowing the blond trust him.
Ryou stares at his hands as sounds of people chattering around him. He keeps his head down feeling nervous as the darker spirit within scoffs which he ignores. He isn't blind or dumb of the wary looks others expect for Yugi and his friends other than Kaiba give him.
He discreetly wipes away at his eyes feeling the suppress tears fall. He frowns. He doesn't want to appear weak. He jumps hearing a familiar voice making him look up, "Hey Ry. Do you mind if I sit with you?"
Ryou shrugs about to move a few more inches when the blond plops down before lays back on the ground next to him with a wide grin and closes his eyes.
'He doesn't mind being next to me?' he wonders glancing at the snoozing blond who seem at peace. Doesn't he fear he would be pulled within and Bakura would come out torturing and does who knows what? He gulps fearfully. He squeaks feeling a hand tugs him down on the ground finding a pair of brown eyes glancing into his own.
"Ryou you are you not Bakura." Joey remarks with a grin, "Besides lay next to me and look at the clouds. It's a nice day to do so."
"Um okay," Ryou answers puzzle but looks at the white clouds finding they are relaxing to look at and soon drifts off into a nap as the blond done after a few moments of silence.
A simple fluff between Joey and Ryou which is up to the readers if its platonic or romantic. Don't own Yugioh either. Reviews are appreciated.
