Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN Yu-Gi-Oh! If I did, Ryou, Bakura, Malik, Marik, and perhaps some others would be tied up in my room right now... Also, I cannot take credit for the lovely song 'Drive You Home.' That belongs to the ever-talented group Garbage.

Summary: Well, Bakura feels bad and he feels like he's ruining Ryou's life. Bakura struggles with his feelings...kinda angsty...please R&R! RyouxBakura

It's funny how,

Even now,

You still support me after all the things that I've done.

You're so good to me,

Waiting patiently.

And isn't it sad that you still have to ask if I care?

I never said I was perfect,

But I can take you away.

Ryou is such an angel. Why in the Hell does he still love me? I'm such a bastard... I hurt him more that anything.... Is he naive? Is he stupid? No, I know he can't control his feelings. I know it every time he screams about how much he hates me, and then falls to my feet in a pile of weeping and tears. I feel so guilty. Why must I condemn him like this? Why did I do this to him?

Walk on shells tonight;

Can't do right tonight.

And you can't say a word

'Cause I leap down your throat

So uptight am I.

I never said I was perfect,

But I can drive you home.

That night...the night he told me I was wrong. He told me to start showing my feelings, my true feelings. He told me to tell him the truth about how I feel. I yelled. I swore. I hit him...hard. He cried. He held me...he wouldn't let go. I was afraid to tell him that I love him because I know that if I tell him, I might lose him. If I leave it the way it is, it will stay the same. But is that really the best answer?

I got down on myself,

Working too hard.

Driving my self to death,

Trying to beat out the faults in my head.

What a mess I've made.

Sure, we all make mistakes,

But they see me so large that they think I'm immune

To the pain.

I've been so wrapped up in my search for the Sennen Items that I've hurt and neglected my Hikari, even after he told me how he felt and poured his heart out to me. I put on such a badass act, but I'm breaking up inside, slowly and painfully. I have to fix things...but I don't know how.

I'm praying for a miracle,

But I won't hold my breath.

I never said I was perfect,

But can you drive me home?

Oh, Ryou's finally done in the shower. He's going to want to sleep...I had better leave. I get up, when I suddenly feel thin arms wrap around my chest. His sobs are shaking even my body. I can feel myself choking....I can't show this to him....

"You're doing it again. You're hiding," Ryou tells me, his voice muffled because his face is buried in my shirt. He's right, as usual. I let some tears fall gently. I turn to my Hikari and rest my head on his shoulder. I can't hide any longer. He deserves the truth.

"Ai shiteru, Ryou. And I'm so, so sorry," I speak between choking and sobbing. He squeezes me and leads me to the bed.

"I know, Bakura. I've always known. You're not very good at lying," he laughs, sadly. He's letting me stay out of the Ring tonight. He's going to let me sleep near him and cry. I think things will get better. I hope they will.
