Chapter 2 is now up. Any ideas for mushy moments then please tell me because I really don't have many.
Special thanks to Eruki-sama for reviewing ^^
After dinner I left the table to proceed to the room that would be mine for the next few months. I gave Ryou a wink as I shut the door behind me and he blushed that fierce red that I'd be seeing a lot of over the next few months.
I couldn't get comfortable in an unfamiliar bed. Usually I'd go to bed and Yugi and Yami would wish me goodnight as they went to bed. I doubt I'd get a 'goodnight' from Bakura, not with the way he was glaring at me during my first dinner.
"G-Goodnight Anzu-chan."
Without me knowing, Ryou had opened the door and he was wishing me goodnight in a very shy way. I wished him goodnight back and he closed the door on me. I remember vowing to myself that I would make him fall in love with me.
No matter what.
The next morning I woke up to smelling the delicious smell of bacon. I got up to see Ryou cooking in the kitchen, looking slightly feminine in the same light blue apron as last night. But I don't care about that because he's just my tool to get closer to Atem. I sat down in silence, eating my breakfast in peace.
Then Bakura entered the room. Bringing silence with him as he walked in with large, confident strides. Then he stopped as he saw me sitting at the counter and Ryou happily cooking away. He quickly walked up to Ryou and pulled him away for a few minutes. I could only hear bits of their dialogue but this is the gist of what I heard:
"What is she still doing here?" Bakura hissed, pure venom leaking out into his voice.
"I told you she'll be staying with us for a while." Ryou explained with such innocent simplicity.
"She shouldn't be here. She should be living with him."
"I don't mind her here and neither should you."
I couldn't hear Bakura speak for a while but when I looked up I could see him looking slightly shocked and taken aback.
"Right, well... I see how it is." He mumbled.
Then he stormed away, giving me a quick death glare as he leaves. Ryou turned to me with a slight polite-mannered bow.
"Please don't mind him. Make yourself at home." Ryou bowed to me.
"Oh I will Ryou." I told him with a kind smile.
Later after I get changed I head out into the living room. Bakura was sat there reading some book on Ancient Egypt and Ryou sat there with a magazine about some game called 'Monster World' and I saw a huge resemblance between him reading about Monster World and Yami reading about Duel Monsters. I went a little shy but I instantly got rid of that feeling: he's not Yami, I don't love him, he's just a pawn in a chess game to get the king.
"Who's up for a walk?" I say cheerfully.
Bakura got up to leave the room but Ryou stayed with a happy grin upon his face.
"A-a walk? Sounds great!" He smiled.
I smiled back (a fake smile might I add, if I didn't want to become a dancer then I'm sure I'd make a great actor) and I proceeded into the bedroom to fetch my shoes.
When we finally got out we saw that the sun was shining brightly and the sky was blue and cloudless. We concluded that the park would be the best place to go so when we got there it was unusually peaceful and calmer than usual.
It must have been like a couples day or something because we saw countless people in pairs and walking along arm in arm, holding hands or buried in their partner's shoulders. Ryou was a little uneasy at the sight of these couples, perhaps thinking how we must have looked like a couple?
But I took note of this and I brushed my hand lightly against his, it must have sent chlls or something down his spine because he suddenly froze p and started walking really stiffly- rather like a penguin.
I couldn't help it: I burst out laughing.
"W-what?" He asked nervously.
I was clutching my sides, I was laughing that much, and I felt like I would never stop laughing. Tears were even coming out- he looked so much like a penguin it was scary.
"Anzu are you okay?" Ryou asked, slightly laughing too.
Then my laughing died down and I took a deep breath, calming me down once and for all.
"Anyway if you're feeling better I was hoping that we could go and get some Fish and Chips."
But then that just set me off again.
"Well that was fun." I smiled.
"I never expected to see Joey there with Kaiba." Ryou said innocently.
"The look on Joey's face was priceless!" I laughed.
"I never knew enemies were meant to hold hands."
Then we both laughed hysterically and I had to put my hand on Ryou's shoulder because I was laughing so hard. But then the laughing died down and I found myself with both hands on Ryou's shoulders. There was a long awkward silence but then the door opens and Bakura steps out.
"Where have you been Ryou?" Bakura asked but he didn't ask with venom, he asked with worry.
"I-I went to the park with Anzu." Ryou explained.
"Oh." He said simply and then turned to me. "I see."
"Don't worry I'll make you something." Ryou said, walking into the kitchen.
I followed Ryou back into the apartment, feeling Bakura's cold piercing eyes watching me as I proceeded to my room. I put in the headphones to my iPod and danced around a bit.
Now normally nothing can interrupt me when I dance but I could hear someone. Well not just someone. Ryou. Ryou and Bakura talking.
"This is really good steak Ryou, thanks." Bakura said to Ryou, mouth sounding slightly full.
"No problem Bakura." Ryou chirped in his happy singsong voice.
"Hey I just realised: why aren't you eating?" Bakura asked, swallowing first this time.
"I had fish and chips with Anzu in the park." Ryou explained, still chirpy.
Then I heard the sound of a fork dropping in shock.
"You did what?" Bakura gasped, I could barely hear his voice.
"You heard me." Said Ryou.
"Since when did you get an attitude?"
"Since I found a love interest."
Silence. I smirked to myself at that point: my plan had worked, I'd attracted Ryou's attention. Then I heard a dragging sound as if Bakura had just got up from his seat.
"I'm not hungry." Then there were footsteps.
"That's a first."
I knew it would only be a matter of time before Ryou started to take interest. Now I just had to get him on a date and then I could start making Yami jealous.
At that point, I had nothing to lose.
Not great mushy moments so if you have better then please tell. A few more dates then I'll properly introduce some tragedy. Anything wrong then please tell me and I'll try and make improvements.
Remember: What goes around comes around so Review=Shout-out ^^
