Chapter 1: Hiding in the rain
Bakura's POV:
Damn, damn, damn and once more damn. Today definitely wasn't my day. Or rather a night. Everything was going along the plan. And when I say everything I mean it! Well, everything except the ending. It was pretty close. I have no idea how they were able to find me.
The ending is the reason I'm running in the rain like an idiot and trying to shake off cops. It's not like I had some special success. Shit, these bastards are worse than chewing gum stuck under a shoe. All right dude, try to put yourself together and start to think, because otherwise you are doomed!
I speed up a little and turned around the corner. Everything was calm, but with these cops after me I couldn't be sure. I took another look and quickly crossed the street. I was sure that they don't know how do I look but lonely person on streets so late at night can be suspicious. I didn't know if I would be able to make up so reasonable lie if they were to catch me.
All of sudden I spot a light for my right. The typical blue-red signal light of cops was heading in my direction. I couldn't return back, that would be suicide. Near to the spot I was standing was opened window. There was still light but hell I didn't planning on going to the jail. Without thinking I jump inside. Inside was white haired kid. I didn't care about the fact how he looked and quickly moved to him. Before he could scream I covered his mouth with hand and forced him to get down on the floor with me.
Ryuu's POV:
I closed the book and for the hundredth time during the night, sighed. I simple wasn't able to concentrate on anything. The bruise on my face was still hurting but not so much like my ribs. Yup. Today was definitely a unique day. If only my father was at home at least. I know he can't stand look at me, but over all the cold words I miss him. Or maybe I miss anybody.
I can feel it so clearly. The deep, cold and dark emptiness inside of me. I fear of it more than anything else. I wish somebody was here and save me from it. I put my head into my hands and tried not to think about tomorrow when the others will probably kill me. I knew I'm new and others will accept me slowly but I started to think that they didn't want to accept me at all.
Through my fingers I looked at the alarm clock, which was on my table. It was really late and I should get some sleep. While I was standing I thought I heard police sirens but then I shrugged shoulders. Why should I bother? My window was still opened so the cold air could keep me awake. I turned away to it and went to my dresser to change when I heard something jumped into my room. I turned to that person and at that moment I was knocked to the ground by white-haired man, who landed on top of me and held his hand over my mouth.
Bakura's POV:
"Listen well, kid! I'm not planning to hurt you. This time!" I add and immediately felt him stiffed. I smirked at that. It was such a fun.
"I need to hide for a few hours. So show some intelligence and don't do anything stupid! Is someone else here?" he shook his head and I sighed in relieve. That kid's parents were the last people who I would like to meet.
"Great. I think this will be fine. I will stay with you for some time and then I will go and you will never see me again. How it sounds, kid? Do we have a deal?" he nodded but I just couldn't let him go. I was soak through and cold from the running in the rain. More like I was freezing. That kid was warm and I couldn't say it was unpleasant. I was lying on top of him and looking into his deep brown eyes, which were still wide with fear, for a few seconds longer.
"I will let you go now. But if you scream I will kill you! Understand?" after I saw his nod I let go of him. For some reason there were tears in his eyes, but I guessed that was from fear. He sat up his head hang down, so his bangs were covering his eyes. I use it for my advantage and shut the window. When I turned to him I saw him in the same position. I didn't think he even moved.
"Hey, kid! What's your name?" at the sharp sound of my voice he lift his head. He looked confused. With a hand he wiped his tears and grabbed a notebook and something wrote dawn. Now it was my turn to look confused. Why in seven hells he didn't answer my question? I could feel anger start boiling inside of me. That's it. I'm gonna beat that shit out of him. But before I could reach him that kid turned the notebook to me and it hit me.
I'M RYUU. I'M SORRY, BUT I'M MUTE!
Okay, now I officially feel like an idiot. I just couldn't believe that I didn't realize it earlier. Before I sat down I took a good look at the kid. Correction – Ryuu. He was shorter then me but not much. How old he could be? Probably seventeen not more. His face was pale and held a gentle and polite feature. What was fascinating, were his eyes. Once again I was drowning in the chocolate brown colour, which held the innocence and naiveties that my own eyes lost a long time ago.
Ryuu was still afraid because I didn't say anything to him. The silence was heavy and I just sat across to him and was looking at him. He suddenly stood up and started walk away. In a flash I was behind him and wrapped my arm around his waist and the other caught his face.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?" I hissed at him. Ryuu's body stunned once again and then started shivered. I let him reach the notebook and looked over his shoulder while he was writing.
YOU ARE COLD. I WAS ABOUT TO BRING YOU A TOWEL.
I sighed and sat down, Ryuu in still in my arms. The boy was now shaking. The closeness of me obviously wasn't pleasant to him. Still, he was warm and I wasn't going to let him go.
Normal POV:
"I don't need a towel. I will be gone before the rain ends and it's useless to dry up and then get wet again. Besides you are warm enough." Said Bakura with chuckle. Ryuu didn't share his opinion because his shaking continued and was even worse.
"Hey, don't worry. I said before I'm not going to hurt you. So stop shaking. I may be a thief but I'm not a rapist." The voice of Bakura was still harsh like a sharp stone but this time it held a hint of gentleness. Ryuu started calming down but not for long when he felt Bakura's hand under his shirt.
Stop please! I don't want this. Stop it! Somebody help! Ryuu's mind was crying when the firm and strong hand was gently roaming over his soft stomach and chest. Then he realized that he is all alone as always. There was nobody who could help him. Nobody who could save him. The hand stopped on his hip and quiet voice whispered into his ears.
"Unless you want me to." Bakura gently wiped tears from Ryuu's face with his free hand and wait for him to relax in his embrace. The smaller boy obeyed and let the thief to hold him.
This is irony. I have always wanted someone to hold me like this and now when it happened I panic like a rabbit. Well, I've never imagined the one who will hold me will be a thief running from the police. It's true I should be frightened to death just by his presence but oddly enough I feel nice.
He is definitely nicer than some kids in the school. Well, he threatened me with killing me and knock me to the ground but otherwise he didn't hurt me. Ryuu stiffed again when he felt Bakura's head falling on his shoulder. He suggested that his visitor must be tired. After a few minutes he tried to get from Bakura's grip but the arms around him tightened.
"Going somewhere, kid?" Ryuu smiled at this and looked around himself for his notebook. Fortunately it was right next to him.
NOWHERE PARTICULAR. CAN YOU PLEASE LET ME GO? MY BACK HURTS.
"Hmm. I'm not gonna let you go. But we can change the place. Sitting on the floor is not that comfortable." Ryuu's eyes grew wide when he felt strong arms under his body easily lifting him up. He could feel his face turned red from such attention.
What the hell I'm doing. I don't know this kid. I'm just hiding from the police. Nothing special. It's just… This kid is so unique. It feels so good to hold him close to me. It's a long time since I felt this way. I was right when I told he will never see me again after I disappear, but I can enjoy it while it last.
Bakura gently laid him on the bed and climb after him. He knew that he will make Ryuu's bed dirty, but he didn't care about his wet clothes. The only thing he wanted to care of was Ryuu's warm body pressed to his chest. He was utterly surprised when Ryuu turned around and sheepishly nuzzled into him.
A few hours and I will be gone from his life. A few more hours and I will never see him again.
Not unnoticed he held Ryuu more tightly. The smaller teen smiled a little. It was unbelievable but in the presence of this complete stranger he felt much safer. The time was passing slowly while he was listening Bakura's heartbeat. He was thinking how strange is that he feel safe with a man whose name he didn't know. But he did. It was like if he know him always. He wished this confusing person would stay in his life.
It could be around two o'clock at the morning when Bakura release Ryuu fragile body. The smaller boy immediately snapped himself from a light sleep and looked at the other one. Bakura was heading to the window. He opened it and quickly looked at every site. With a smooth motion he jump out of it. Ryuu quickly stood up and run to the window. He wanted the thief to say at least goodbye to him. He inclined out of the window and looked for Bakura. The thief turned back and sighed.
"Okay, kid. I'm off. If you gonna tell to the police, be a pal and give me a some time."
Ryuu grabbed his notebook and quickly write into it.
I WON'T TELL.
Bakura was staring at the note in disbelieve. He looked into the boys eyes but found only honest. I must be complete crazy. Bakura wrapped his arms around the boy's neck and pulled him close to kiss him.
Ryuu was in shock. When he felt Bakura bite his lower lip he gasped. The older one use it for deepened the kiss. He put everything into that. Ryuu's mouth was as warm as the rest of him. Hell this is good. He thought to himself. Before he completely loose his sense Bakura pulled back and smirked.
"Hmm, maybe I will start believe in angels." With this he was gone. Ryuu was looking after him and didn't care about the rain falling on the ground where a moment ago stood Bakura.
Hope you liked it. It was supposed to be a one-shot but that wouldn't be good for the story. So I will try to update as soon as possible. Please review!
