Hi guys! Due to the hurricane we just had here in Texas, it's taken me a little while longer to update this story. I'm really starting to get ideas for this now!
Bakura: "So, what you're saying is that you didn't have any ideas before?"
Tara: "Nopes, I just have more now!"
Bakura: "You really are strange…"
Tara: "Aren't we all?!"
Disclaimer: Naw, I don't own Yugioh or the beautiful song, "Once Upon a December" from the movie Anastasia. I don't own any of Yugioh's characters either… All I own is this strange plot! XD
Ryou scurried into the laundry room once he had retrieved Bakura's clothes. He closed the door and leaned against it, blushing and feeling more stupid than ever. He couldn't help but keep thinking about how hot Bakura looked; especially with his shirt off.
Ryou shook his head from his thoughts. He hardly even knew the guy and he was starting to like him? Whoa; get a hold of yourself Ryou! He put the damp clothes into the washer and sighed, letting himself fall to the floor. He wondered how long the man was going to stay for. It would be nice to have someone to talk to every once and a while.
But soon, Bakura would have to leave. Leaving Ryou all alone again. His face saddened when he realized that he would truly be alone once he left. He then stood up, and walked into the kitchen to make some tea for him and his new guest.

Bakura scratched his head as he looked at the preposterous thing they call a "shower". He didn't know how to use it; in Egypt, they would just soak in a nearby lake-if there was one- and call it done from there. But this was unheard of!
Bakura then walked toward the dials. One was marked H and one was marked C. He wondered what that meant. He decided to just try them both out and see what happens. He turned the dial with the C on it, and some water came out and plunged into the tub. He put his hand in the water, and pulled back when he realized how cold it was.
He then turned the C dial off and turned the H dial. Once again, he stuck his hand in the water and yelped at the intense heat that radiated from it. He turned the blasted H dial off and turned the C one on again.
He disdainfully stepped into the freezing water and bumped into the H dial, causing it to turn a bit. The water then turned warm, but not too hot. Sighing in contentment, he laid down in the water and accidentally pushed what he guessed was some kind of plug, causing it to fill up.
Once he got the water up to his desired height, he turned off both dials and looked at the strange bottles in front of him. He picked up one and scoffed once he realized that there were no hieroglyphics on it. He couldn't read the strange characters on it, but once opening it, he thought that it smelled good, so he washed his hair with it.
After rinsing his now strawberry scented hair, he saw a bar of a strange substance. On it, it had some strange characters that said Soap. He scratched his head and dunked it into the water. Once he took it out, he saw that it was moist and some strange, sweet smelling substance was now on his hands. He rubbed it all over his body, rinsed off, pulled back the plug, and grabbed the towel Ryou handed to him, wrapped it around his waist, walked into the kitchen, and stopped whenever he was met with the most beautiful sight he had ever seen.
Ryou was cooking something while singing. Bakura became entranced with Ryou's sweet voice and the soft lyrics of the song he was singing.
Dancing bears, painted wings; things I almost remember. And a song, someone sings once upon a December. Bakura sighed; the melody of the song reminded him of when his sister used to sing to him before he went to sleep.
Someone holds me safe and warm. Horses prance through a silver storm. Figures dancing gracefully across my memory. Bakura remembered how safe he felt in his sister's embrace. It seemed as if the song was almost directed towards him. He hummed along as Ryou again repeated:
Someone holds me safe and warm. Horses prance through a silver storm. Figures dancing gracefully across my memory. Ryou voice then began to intensify and grow stronger as he continued.
Far away, long ago burning dim as an ember, things my heart used to know. Things it yearns to remember. And a song someone sings. Once upon a December.
Bakura was in such a state of shock because of the beauty that was Ryou's voice that he didn't even hear the gasp from the innocent boy in front of him; nor did he see the blush form on the boy's cheeks when he saw what Bakura was wearing and that Bakura had most likely overheard his singing.
"B-Bakura-kun, when did you get here?" He asked softly.
This brought Bakura out of his pleasant thoughts. "Uh… not too long ago; you know Ryou, you have such a beautiful voice." He said with a goofy smile still on his face.
Ryou blushed even harder if that was possible and looking at the ground he muttered, "Thanks". A sweet scent wafted through the kitchen and Bakura couldn't guess where the scent was coming from, just that it smelled really good.
"What're you making?" He asked after some uncomfortable silence. "It smells good…"
This brought a smile to the pale boy's face as he looked back up to Bakura again. "You're probably smelling the tea I'm making. I'm also cooking some soup. Oh!" He then added with a tint of blush on his cheeks. "I'm very sorry Bakura-kun… I just put your clothes in the dryer. It'll be a while until they're done… I doubt that you'll fit into any of my clothes due to the fact that you're taller than me, but at least it'll be something…"
Bakura smirked. "That's fine. Don't worry about it… soup sounds good right now though…"
Ryou grinned and handed him some clothes to wear for the time being. "Ok then! I'll get the soup ready while you get dressed ok?"
Bakura nodded and started to walk up the stairs into the spacious guest bedroom Ryou let him stay in. He was liking this kid more and more by the second.
BR
Bakura had heard him singing? Ryou blushed while pouring some soup into a bowel for Bakura. Soup sounded really good right now; something to warm him up. It had been a really bad day, and he wished he could run away from all of his problems… or at least have someone to hold him.
It had been so long since Ryou had last hugged anyone. He yearned for that sense of attention... for someone to care for him… Even if they were gone frequently like his fath-
He shook those saddening thoughts away as he continued back at the soup again. He started to think of other things… like Bakura. In the little time Ryou had known him, he thought that he seemed pretty nice.
It was at that point of time that Bakura then walked in. He was wearing one of Ryou's sweaters and a pair of his jeans (which showed off his figure cuz they were tight on him). Ryou blushed and looked at the ground as he handed Bakura his soup and motioned for him to sit at the table with him.
Bakura put on his usual smirk and sat across of Ryou, slurping down his soup hungrily. Ryou then poured him some tea, which Bakura chugged down instantly. After about five minutes, Bakura had eaten all of his soup, and had devoured (if that was possible) his drink. Ryou eyed him as he sipped his tea politely.
Bakura then rubbed his now bulgy belly and looked at Ryou. He then laughed once he saw that Ryou had been watching him, causing the pale boy to blush.
"Like what you see?" Bakura asked in a sexy voice.
This made Ryou blush even more. "W-what?"
Bakura laughed and visibly checked out the young boy. "How old are you Ryou?"
Ryou averted his gaze to the ground to try to hide his blush. "I-I'm f-fifteen."
Bakura smirked. "That's a wonderful coincidence, I'm sixteen."
"O-oh… W-why do you ask Bakura-kun?"
"Bakura; just Bakura. Well…" He leaned forward on the table until their faces were only inches apart. "I can't go out with you if you're too young for me neh?"
Ryou didn't say anything; he couldn't. He was lost in those dark brown eyes in front of him. Ryou then shook his head, grabbed the dishes, and started to wash them.
He could sense that Bakura was staring him down behind him. Ryou was confused; he hardly knew Bakura, and he was already wanting to go out with him.
Suddenly, Ryou squeaked as Bakura turned him around to face him. Ryou looked at the ground, but then turned his gaze to Bakura as he felt Bakura's hand make its way to his chin and bring it upward. Ryou was stunned at the close proximity in which Bakura was to him. Their faces were so close that Ryou could feel his soft breath caress his cheek and smell the tea on his breath.
"Bloody ra; you must be an angel Ryou… An angel sent to tame the demon that is me…"
Ryou blushed at being called an angel, and his face fell when he said, "Trust me, I'm nothing like an angel… I-I've done things I shouldn't have… Things that I'm ashamed of…"
Bakura then smiled sadly at him. "I was destined to meet you…"
Ryou tilted his head in curiosity before Bakura closed up the space between them and kissed Ryou softly. Ryou gasped in shock, giving Bakura the chance to push past his sweet lips and let his tongue roam in Ryou's mouth. Ryou almost fell to the floor; it was like he was floating on air.
He then felt Bakura's arms encircle his waist to help him stay standing as his kisses became more passionate. Ryou, still lost in the kiss, wrapped his arms around Bakura's neck, deepening the kiss further.
Then, due to a lack of air, Bakura pulled away but kept his forehead against Ryou's. Their panting breaths being felt on each other's cheeks.
"Good night Ryou…" Bakura said as he kissed Ryou's forehead, pulled away from him slowly, and walked up to his bedroom. Ryou put a hand to his forehead where Bakura had kissed him. He was really happy he had answered the door that night; he had just experienced his first kiss.
