Cheaters Heart.

Part 1:

Chapter One: The Great Big Tickling Fest

These ideas occurred to me while listening to the following songs: "I Still Believe In You" by Vince Gill, "My Broken Heart" by Reba McEntire, and "Streets of Heaven" I think by Chely Wright or Sara Evans. I guess you could say they inspired me. Please forgive me for any mistakes that you find. The computer that I'm currently using doesn't want to let me edit any of my work or even re-type my profile. All I can say is I did the best I could. So if there's no summary or a very short one for this or any of my other work you know why: Computers fault! Anyway...

Chapter 1: Just a little fun and mush between Joey and his partner, Ryou. Maybe a bit of lovin'. If you don't like that sort of thing, don't read. But if you like 'love' and 'feathers', then by all means, go ahead, read and enjoy yourself. All coments welcome as long as they're good.

Normally I refer to Ryou as Bakura and the evil spirit of the Ring as Yami-Bakura or Y.B. But for you, the reader and reviewer, I'm going to refer to Ryou as Ryou and Yami-Bakura will be Y.B. Hopefully you'll R&R this story, unlike you have my other two which no one seems to notice...

It was a fresh, new day in the city of Domino. The sun was shining, birds were singing, and children were playing tag in the street. KABOOM! Roar... O.k., not really. It fact, it was a down right miserable day. Not just because the sun wasn't shining, the birds weren't singing, and there weren't any children playing in the street, but because it was Monday, a school day, and it was raining. "Stupid rain," Joey mumbled, leaning against the rain. "well, at least it's not raining on a Saturday or I'd be really annoyed."

At that moment, Ryou came out of the bathroom that was connected to the room he and Joey shared. He was trying to adjust the new belt Joey had given him the day before as a just because present. "What are you mumbling about over there, Joey?" he asked, as he tried to get the belt to go through one of the loops on his white dress pants. "Ah, nothing," Joey grumbled, turning his back to the window and walking towards Ryou. "I just wish this damn rain would stop." "Well then, if that's all, could you help me?"

Joey looked down at Ryou, who's zipper was still undone. Then he glanced at the clock on their nightstand. "Yeah, sure." he said bending down to help Ryou with the belt. "But why are you getting dressed now?" Ryou looked at him strangely. "Huh?" he asked, cocking his head to the left. "What do you mean? It's Monday. I'm getting dressed for school..." Ryou stopped, looking at Joey standing there in his blue house coat. "Joey, you aren't dressed? You'd better hurry or you're going to be late for school." he paused for a moment, then said, "Unless you're not going." Joey looked at Ryou and laughed.

Ryou just looked at Joey confussed. "Of course, I intend on going to school. I always do. But I don't intend to go any earlier than I have to." "Huh?" Ryou asked again, still feeling slightly confussed. Joey couldn't help but laugh. Ryou looked so cute with his fly open and that confussed looked on his face. "Ryou, look at the clock. It's only 5:30 in the morning!" "Wha.." Ryou swung his head around so that he could see the clock behind him and saw for himself that the clock did indeed read 5:30... A. M.!

The surprised expression on his face made Joey laugh even harder. "5:30...A M?" he asked himself. "That's all it is? Just 5:30? I thought it was later than that, but just looked dark because of..." he turned around to see Joey nearly on the floor with laughter. "...the...rain." He narrowed his sparkling green eyes at Joey and folded his arms. "Joey! Are you trying to trick me? Again?" Joey tried to cover the smile that stretched across his face. "No." he said innocently. "Oh, Joey. You'd better not be. You know how I hate being late to school." Joey forced himself to calm down a little.

"No, honestly, Ryou. I'm not messing with ya. It really is 5:30 in da morning. You can check all the clocks in the house if you want. They'll all say da same thing." Ryou left the bedroom and checked every clock in the house. "See? I told ya. I told ya they'd all say da same thing and that I wasn't messing with ya. There, now. Do ya believe me?" Ryou sighed. "Yeah, I believe you." "Good." Joey said putting an arm over Ryou's shoulder. "So whaddya wanna do now until it is time for school?" "Well, I don't know." said Ryou thinking. "I already went to the bathroom. I'm not really hungry..."

"Ya wanna go back to bed?" "I-I guess." Before Ryou could say another word, Joey scooped him in his arms and carried him all the way back to the bed. When they got back to the bedroom, Joey dropped Ryou onto the bed. "Thanks." Ryou said sarcastically propping himself up on his elbows. "Oh, you're welcome." said Joey as he striped out of his house coat and tossed it to the floor. "What are doing..." Ryou started to ask him. Then suddenly, Joey pounced on him. "AAhhhhh!" Ryou screamed surprised. "GOTCHYA!" he yelled.

"Uh! Joey! Get up!" said Ryou, trying to push Joey off of him. "Why?" Joey asked playing with the piece of white hair that always hung right between Ryou's eyes. "Well, because you're naked." "So?" Joey smiled. "I thought you liked it when I was in this position." "Well, yeah, but you're..." Ryou stopped, he had a thought. He looked up at Joey and smiled. "..are you gaining weight?" "Huh!" exclaimed Joey. Ryou giggled. "Why you! O.k. That's it!" Joey grabbed Ryou's sides. "Tickle fest!" "Heh, ha, n-no! No, no! Oh, come on Joey! Aha, ha! Come on! No! Stop it! Ah, hah, hah, hah!"

"Nobody insults my weight, pal and lives to tell about it!" "No, Joey!" Ryou giggled playfully. "Please! I can't take anymore!" "Too bad." Joey smirked. "You shoulda thought of that before you insulted my weight. Now you're gonna get it!" "No, Joey!" Ryou laughed playfully. "No more!" Joey tickled Ryou some more. "Tickle, tickle, tickle!" "N-no, no Joey!" Ryou laughed louder. "Surrender and admit defeat!" Joey yelled. "NO!" Ryou yelled back at him. "Never!" "O.k." Joey smiled. "But now you're really gonna get it!" Joey hopped up off the bed.

"G-get what?" Ryou asked feeling a little nervous. "You'll see." Joey stood in front of the nightstand, pulled out the top drawer, and fumbled around for a minute. "Ah-ha! Found it." "Found what?" Ryou asked nervously. "I told ya, you'll see." Then Joey had another idea. He went over to the walk in closet and pulled a box off the top shelf. 'Nice ass.' Ryou thought, watching Joey go through the box. Joey's fingers ran across something cold and silver. 'Ah-ha! There they are. Now Ryou's gonna get it. Heee!' Joey smirked to himself and turned around.

"What are you hiding back there?" Ryou asked curiously. "Nothin'." Ryou looked at him suspiciously. "Hmmm." "Lay back down," Joey smiled. "and close your eyes." "But, Jo-" "Just do it." said Joey inpatiently. "O.k." Ryou said laying down. 'Hee, hee, hee! This is gonna be good! Ryou'll never suspect what I'm up to. Hee, hee, hee.' Joey went back over to the bed and crawled on top of Ryou. Then he took Ryou's hands. "Joey, what are-" "Shh." Joey shushed him. Ryou could hear chains clinking above his head.

'He wouldn't.' Ryou thought to himself as he felt something cold slide around his wrists. 'He didn't...' "O.k. You can open your eyes now." Ryou did and looked above his head. "You hand cuffed me!" "Yes, I did. Now ya can't get away while I'm torturing ya with-" "Joey," Ryou said seriously. "you're not really going to torture me, are you?" Joey saw that Ryou's lower lip had begun quivering and he looked like he was about to get tears in his eyes. Then Joey had realized his mistake.

This is the sort of thing Yami-Bakura used to do him when he 'misbehaved', a.k.a. not doing what Y.B. wanted him to do. "Joey, if you're really that upset about my comment about your weight, I take it back and I promise not to mention it-" Joey cut him off. "-again." he whispered. "Look, Ryou. When we hooked up, I promised not to ever hurt ya like that. No matter how mad I might get at ya. Remember?" Ryou looked at Joey and nodded. "Besides, you know I love ya. I tell ya that all the time, don't I?" "Y-yes, Joey."

"So how could you think that I'd hurt ya like that?" Joey asked Ryou, feeling a little hurt himself that Ryou would even think that of him. "I-I guess," Ryou said quietly, looking away. "I,

I don't know." He closed his eyes and looked away. "I'm sorry, Joey." Ryou said sadly. "Look, Ryou," Joey said leaning over him so that they were face to face. "I promised ya that I'd never ever physically or sexually abuse ya and I intend to keep that promise." "I guess." Ryou said, still feeling a little guilty that he thought Joey had intended on actually torturing him.

"Hey," Joey said, lifting Ryou's chin so that he and Ryou would be eye-to-eye. "I meant what I said. I don't intend on breaking my promise. Trust me, o.k.?" Ryou looked away, feeling a little sheepish, then back at Joey. "O.k." he smiled. "Alright then...let's get to the 'good' torture." "But there's no such thing as good torture." Ryou told him. "Oh, but there is, my dear Ryou. And now, you get to experience it for youself." Joey got up off of Ryou and sat down by his feet. "Huh?" Ryou asked, cocking his head.

'Damn, he's cute when he does that. Makes me wanna kiss him. Hmmm. Later.' Joey pulled Ryou's socks off of him and began tickling his feet with a huge, white...FEATHER! "Wha...!" Ryou exclaimed. "You're t-tick-tickling giggle me giggle, giggle with a giggle, gigglefeather!" "Uh-huh." Joey said running the feather beneath Ryou's toes on his right foot. "Y-you meant THAT was how you were planning on torturing me?" "Uh-huh." Joey replied. "With a feather?" Ryou asked in disbelief. "Uh-huh." "Is that giggle, giggle all you can giggle say?"

"Uh-huh." "Oh, Joey!" Ryou exclaimed exasperatedly letting his head fall down against the pillow. Now he felt even sillier than he already had. 'A feather!' Ryou thought to himself. 'All he planned on doing, was tickling me with a feather...and I thought he was really going to hurt me?Ooooh! Now I feel really silly. I should've known Joey'd never break his promise. He's not like that.' Ryou laughed inwardly towards himself. 'How silly of me to think that! Joey probably thinks that too now. Oooh! If I could move my hands away from the headboard, I'd smack myself. Oooh.'

'How could he think I'd hurt him?' Joey wondered feeling slightly offended. 'I promised him I'd never harm him that way.' Joey ran the feather under Ryou's other toes. 'Damn it!' he cursed. 'This is all Yami-Bakura's fault! If he hadn't abused Ryou, he never would of reacted the way that he did. Damn him! If Yami hadn't made him leave town...ah, well. I'm glad that he did. With Y.B. outta the way, I can have Ryou.' Joey looked at the clock. 'It's only 6:25am now...there's still time before school starts...and I'm to wound up to sleep...I wonder if Ryou would mind if I did have him...'

Joey put down the feather, leaned forward, and..."Joey!" Ryou gasped in surprised. "Ya don't mind, do ya?" Joey asked, hoping Ryou wouldn't. "Well, actually, no...it did feel good..." "So I can continue right? I have your permission?" Joey waited for an answer. "Yes, on one condition." "What's that?" "That you remove these ridiculous cuffs so that I can move my hands." Joey smirked at Ryou. "Uhmmm. Nah. I don't think so." "JOEY!" "O.k. I was just kidding." "Thank you." Ryou said sarcastically. "Uh, let's see...where'd I put that key?"

"Joey," Ryou said growing annoyed. "don't tell me you lost the key." "Uhm, well, actually..." "Joey..." Ryou said warningly. "I did." "Oh, Joey! Great! This is just great!" "Oh, calm down." said Joey leaning over Ryou. "Here." Joey clicked the little switches on the handcuffs and released Ryou's hands. "Is that better?" "Much." Ryou said rubbing his wrists a little. "But now, it's your turn to get it." "Wha-" Joey started to ask. But Ryou didn't give Joey a chance to finish. He tackled him. "Ahhh!" said Joey. "Help! The creature from the 'white' lagoon caught me!

"Somebody help me before he turns my hair all white." Ryou glared at Joey. "Ha-ha." he said and began tickling Joey. Joey started laughing. Ryou grabbed the feather. "Now it's my turn to torture you. After all, fair-is-fair. Or so says a certain Yami...I know...of. Any last words?" he asked Joey sitting on his stomach and waving the feather at Joey's nose. "Yeah." Joey said smuggly. "You haven't won yet." He wrapped his arms around Ryou and rolled over. "You haven't won yet, Ryou Bakura! Haaa!" "Whoa!" Ryou screamed as he landed on his back.

Now Joey was on top of him again. "Hey!" Ryou protested. "No fair!" "Of course it is." Joey smiled. "All is fair in love, and war, and doughnuts. Or so says a certain Yami I know of." he said mimicking what Ryou had just said a moment ago. "Oh, yeah?" Ryou asked Joey. "Yeah." Joey said. "Yeah? We'll see about that." Ryou tried to roll Joey over the same way Joey had rolled him over. But it didn't work. Joey thought Ryou's attempt to do so was cute thought. "Aw, poor little Ryou. You need to get some muscle. I guess I need to start taking you to the gym."

"Joey?" Ryou asked him. "Yeah?" Joey smiled. "You wanna make love?" "Yeah, o.k." Ryou giggled and wrapped his arms around Joey, who had started kissing his neck. "Mmm." Ryou sighed, smiling and pulling Joey closer. 'Yes. Joey loves me. He'd never break his promise. He'd never hurt me. Not in any way. Not ever.' 'Man, I love this kid.' Joey smiled as he nibble Ryou's neck up and down. 'Best of all, he's all mine and I don't have to share him. Mmm.' Then the two of them proceeded to make love...

End of Part 1, Chapter 1.

Well, that's all for now. But I'll be working on a Chapter two soon. Now that you've read it, please review and let me know how you liked it. In case you're wondering why I put those two together, they're one of my favorite pairings. Other pairings I like are:

Marik/Yami-Bakura, Marik/Ryou, Yugi/Yami, Seto/Yami, and sometimes, just to 'erk' Joey, Serenity/Yami-Bakura.

Please review so I don't have to send one to myself !
