"Stop pouting."
"I am not pouting. I never pout."
"Kura?"
"What?"
"You're pouting right now."
"...so what if I am? You're leaving."
"It's not like I'm going away forever--"
"Last time you left, I didn't see you for three thousand years."
"...good point. But there're several huge differences."
"And those would be...?"
"Number one: I'm only going to be gone from tonight until late Sunday evening. Number two: You have the phone number where I can be reached. Number three: I'm just visiting my sister. Nothing is going to happen to me."
"And you probably told your old man and sister the same thing when you went to participate in Battle City."
"...don't start."
"What? I'm not allowed to worry when you're away?"
"Oh, you can worry, Kura, but this is bordering on insanity."
"I just... I'm going to miss you."
"I know. I'll miss you, too. But I want to check up on Shizuka, make sure she's okay and see how things are going with that part of my family. I might not get along with my parents but--"
"Family is important. I know. Hurry home?"
"As soon as I can."
A quick kiss, then a lingering one, then he was gone. And Bakura sighed, knowing that this was going to be a very lonely weekend.
