Author's Comments: Another collaboration with Inu-chan! Inu drew this in manga blip form and I wrote it out to post here. Everyone who reads this should see the manga (don't worry, the art is really good) at deviantart under manga-inu-chan. In fact, you might wanna see that before you read this.

Oh yea, and it's shonen-ai, if you didn't catch that from the summary.

Sunbathing

Part 1

Ryou sighed as he slid down on the couch, listening to the local weather report. 93 degrees, they said, with a heat index of 110. It was hot. And just for the hell of it, the air conditioner had just died. The Ryou-puddle on the couch was seriously mourning its death.

"Look at me!" Bakura complained as he entered the living room. "And it's all your fault!"

Ryou mustered the energy to turn his head and look up at his yami. Bakura was standing there dressed in a simple pair of cotton night pants, scowling venomently.

"Back in Egypt I had healthy tan skin and a body that would make Ra jealous. Now I look half dead!"

"You are half dead." Ryou returned, unimpressed.

Bakura huffed and stomped out of the house, closing the front door behind him.

Out on the front lawn, Bakura quickly shed the cotton pants and plopped down in the grass under the warm sun. It was such a beautiful sunny day! By the time the sun sat, he should have a nice tan.

Now, every morning about that time of day, the lady living in the house across the street would pull up the shades above her window and water the flowers in the box there. But today when she pulled up her shades, the sight that met her was Bakura, lying stark naked on the lawn across the street. How indecent! her mind screamed as her face turned a brilliant shade of red. … Ten seconds later she was back with a pair of binoculars.

Ryou sighed heavily. He knew he should go see what Bakura was up to. He'd been thinking that since Bakura had walked out the door. Eventually, he dragged himself up and wandered outside after his yami.

Bakura's pale form stood out drastically against the lush green lawn. Ryou did a double-take as the image sunk in. Bakura was lying sprawled out on the front lawn, right in front of the street and in plain view of all of their neighbors – some of whom did not yet know of his existence and would mistake Bakura for him – and he was completely unclothed. The black cotton pants he'd gone outside in were thrown in a crumpled heap to the side.

"Bakura!" Ryou screamed, blushing fiercely at the sight before him. "What are you doing!"

Bakrua opened his eyes, grinning up at the other seductively. "Sunbathing." he answered. "Wanna join me?"

Ryou's face darkened to a reddish purple as he flailed his arms frantically and screamed at his yami. "Put some clothes on!"
