Computer is sick again so I've written this when I should have been working at school. I didn't have a copy of 'Game Queen and Then Some' on that system so I had to do this instead. Feel fortunate. I have not checked this through very thoroughly because I couldn't be asked. Deal with it by not pointing out my mistakes. Cheers.
Corrupted
I *love* this bond!
One week after Yami and I admitted its presence to each other it had reached what could only be completion and, in all respects, so did we. Oh Ra that sounded pathetic. But, I'm in a good mood so I couldn't give a damn. Besides, 'completion' is the most appropriate word I can think of for what we have now.
I can feel what he feels and know what he knows, something that was unnerving at first but, now that we have it under control, is utterly wonderful. I haven't been this happy *ever* and I didn't think I was capable of this depth of emotion.
We spent most of the day in the Shadow Realm last week, the best way to adjust the shields surrounding our individual Soul Rooms to the bond being to work on them in a metaphysical state. In the Shadow Realm our shields are literally walls and it took us both a long time to re-work their structures so we could have selected privacy from each other when we wanted it.
We rarely use the new shields against each other though; keeping the bond open so that we can talk to each other without our Hikari's overhearing that which they are too young to hear is now a favourite activity between us. Actually, Yami would say that old women are too young to hear most of what we say to each other.
Ryou and Yugi took the news of our relationship better than either of us could anticipate. They actually arrange to meet outside of school more often now so that we can get together in private. Yugi's spare room has also become exceedingly useful recently.
Yami and I are both very open about each other now, something that I had a problem adjusting to at first but eventually came around to. I found it strange to allow others to see what I thought and felt, people that I once considered blood enemies but are now tied to me through my lover.
Still, snuggling-damnit! What is it with me and these lame words?! Right, I like that Yami and I can *hold* each other on the sofa even when the Hikari's are around. Good. Better. By Ra that list is getting long now.
The only obstacle left is Anzu and Honda. Well, I don't give a damn what they think and because as Yugi accepted this so well Yami isn't worried about telling them. How to do it though… I can think of a number of rather interesting and sadistically fun ways to break the news to them. But, I promised to be good and my word is my bound to Yami. It's squat to the rest of the world but to him it's iron-clad.
I'd still like to make fun of them a bit when we do tell them. Anzu particularly deserves it but not too severely as she has provided Yami and I with endless hours of amusement through aiding us in corrupting the Smurfs. Yes, Smurfs. Those queer little blue things that run around acting stupid with white hats on whilst that cool bloke with the cat tries to kill them all. Well, I've said before that my twisted mind can pervert anything and Anzu just gave me incentive on this occasion.
I was stuck at home tending to Ryou who had a vicious cold and Yami was in the Puzzle at school with Yugi. I knew for sure that I'd gone soft when my twerp sneezed all over the place and I mindlessly handed him a tissue. Said twerp stared at me like I'd grown a second and third head for a full minute before smiling and thanking me quietly, accepting the shred of fluffy paper.
Anyway, back to the Smurfs.
Ryou was napping so I delved into the bond and watched through Yami's eyes, more or less out of boredom. And I missed him. I am *not* needy. I'm not.
It was lunch or summut and Anzu was eating this blue ice-pop thing. Well, when she was done and I was cracking up at home twisting the image with Yami scolding me the entire time, Yugi pointed out that all the crap in the thing had made her tongue blue. Quick as you please I stated pointedly into Yami's mind that 'it looked like she'd blown a Smurf'.
Yami cracks up instantly practically rolling on the floor with laughter and has to move back into the Puzzle to calm down. I didn't find out until later that Yugi had been about to ask Yami something at the same time that I had spoken so the bonds kinda crossed and he heard it too. He was more embarrassed than amused, naïve little thing, so it's mostly our joke.
It all went downhill from there and Yami and I often watch the stupid cartoon together for the sole purpose of twisting it in every possible way. It's nice. Every Sunday morning we curl up next to each other at my house and pervert the Smurfs. So far we have come up with numerous 'emergency uses' for those hats, ascertained that Papa Smurf is gay and can't look at each other straight when someone says either of the words 'blue' or 'heads'.
Sick, twisted 'n' happy. Best way to be.
So, how to tell the clueless pair? I mean, we aren't entirely discreet about it anymore so they must have some inkling of suspicion. Either that or they're so narrow-minded to think that a relationship between us would never ever work out. Ha. Proved them wrong. I feel some measure of pity for them though. After all, it must be really hard to hear with your head *that* far up your ass.
I've spent all of this morning trying to find the best words for it but am at a loss. I want to do something truly spectacular, being the dramatist that I am, like dragging Yami to the ground or something similar. I don't think he'd approve that much but I could be wrong. He's out of the Puzzle almost constantly now and as a result the darkest elements of his personality have come to bear. Him making more comments than I do about the Smurfs is evidence enough for that assessment.
We've decided to let them know when we meet up in… oh shit-now. So, running now to get to the arcade because I was an idiot and said that I'd meet everyone, including Ryou there and I can't teleport back into the Ring at this distance.
/Are you coming?/
Sending a mental scowl at the amused voice in my head, I continue at break-neck speed until the arcade is in sight. Skidding to stop, I focus on the Ring around my Hikari's neck and move my form into it. Snapping my eyes open, I make a point to sort out my appearance a little before appearing in a flash of light at Ryou's side. I love making an entrance.
Yami tips his hip to the side with crossed arms and a quirked brow as he regards me silently from behind the others. I frown at him. /I got here didn't I?/
/Flustered and with your hair a mess but yes/ he sends back, blowing me a silent kiss and smirking as I chew on the inside of my cheek. I haven't seen him all day and nothing would make me happier than dragging him over to a slot machine and shoving his body against it. Oh, bad thoughts. Good in some respects but I'm stood in front of everyone so they are also very. Very bad.
"Are you alright Yami? You look upset?" Ryou asks from my shoulder, placing a gentle hand on my elbow as he looks up at me.
Damning whatever gives me the ability to blush to Hell, I shrug off the unwanted hand and nod slightly. Yami's running his tongue over his teeth again now, the bloody tease. He loves doing this to me. Bet Yugi doesn't know that.
/Stop it before I take you here and now/ I threaten. I mean it too.
/Go ahead/ he replies challenging. He thinks I'm joking. I'll show him.
It's funny how wide his eyes go when I take an intent step towards him, shoving Joey and Ryou out of my way before Yugi and Honda block my route. Anzu has moved to stand protectively in front of Yami as he stares at me looking both startled and bemused. How sweet. Guess what girlie…
I hear a 'thunk' from behind me and then the sound of sirens and rattling change, looking over my shoulder with mild interest, all the noise and colours distracting me momentarily from my target. Joey appears to have rammed his head into the slot machine by the door when I shoved him, sending is haywire and making it spit change on his head from where he is sat in a heap on the floor.
His expression is that of the almost-unconscious and the Christmas-has-come-early, shoving the change into his pockets and twitching as masses of it runs down the back of his shirt. It's all small units so I have no interest in taking it off him. Why would I? It's not like I actually *pay* for anything; it would just be a stupid pile of coins that I have no use for.
So, I take the piss instead.
"I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public yet again Mutt," I growl out, standing over him imposingly with my arms crossed. The light from the window is casting my shadow over him so it looks really cool, like something out of one of those horror flicks.
The teen scowls at me and I hear Anzu huff from behind. Urgh, here we go. A 'let's treat our friends of nature as equals' and all that crap speech is about to be let loose. Someone please throttle her so I don't have to bother.
"Yami Bakura! That was so rude!" she exclaims, planting her hands on her hips as she scowls at me. Heh. She looks like a duck doing that. I send a mental image of her with a beak and feathers in that position over to Yami and feel him tense as he tries not to snort with laughter.
"I'm not being rude," I begin as I turn to face her, widening my eyes a little to make my face more open and honest. I really have gotten good at that. I got out of the station once with that face when I went temporarily insane and thought it would be nice to get a pet for Yami. He likes animals so I thought it would be a good gift. The goldfish thing didn't work out all that good but I didn't get done for shoplifting so all was fine.
I'm officially on a first name basis with all of the police now which is an impressive accomplishment for me, you know, having restrained myself enough not to kill them all. I still haven't got the smell out of my pockets though.
I look back down at Joey now who is no longer under an active shower of coins. "You're just insignificant."
/That was uncalled for/ Yami tells me through the bond. He can't fool me though; that's definitely laughter in the back of his head that I can 'hear'.
Joey looks at Yami before casting his eyes back to me pointedly. Oh, a threat. That's big of you kid. Bring it on bitch.
"You'd better start talkin' to me better Bakura," he says slowly as he stands, forcing the last of the coins into his pockets as he practically stands on my toes. Trying to act imposing and dominating. Sorry Pup; I'm the master of it.
"Or you'll what?" I sneer back. /You okay with this?/
Not getting a response at all from Yami, I swallow heavily thinking that this might not have been the best of ideas but force myself to keep my eyes on the blond rather than check anxiously on my lover.
"I'll tell them," Joey replies firmly, eyes narrowing slightly as his face sets.
Now, ordinarily I'd call his bluff because I'm pretty sure that he's kidding. I don't believe that he would risk hurting Yami by flapping about something this personal when it's not his right to. I can't do much because I don't want to hurt him either.
I know that Yami doesn't mind them knowing, but I don't think that this is quite the scenario that he had in mind when he said that he was 'fine' with it. He's closed our bond off so I'm on my own. I don't have a lot of choice other than to swallow my considerable pride, *again*, and back down.
"'Tell them' what, Joey?" Honda asks curiously frowning at the confrontation between us. Yep, there's quite a bit of tension here but that's the least of my concerns. Yami's still closed off from me.
Joey opens his mouth and my eyes widen, fully prepared to clamp my hand over his mouth to stop him saying that which I didn't believe he actually would. I didn't get the chance though because Yami beats us both to the punch.
"I'm screwing Bakura."
There's a *big* silence as everyone gapes at him, including me. Well, I hadn't expected it in *those* words. He strolls over to me through the frozen group, reaching out and flicking some of my fringe out of my face. /You wanted dramatic/ he states flatly sounding smug.
Ra I love him for this. Hmm, when did that happen? Didn't know my black, shrivelled little raisin of a heart was capable of love. Ah well. The sex is good and Yami's almost as dark as I am on a good day. I can live with this.
I haven't moved yet and he's not too happy about that apparently. He wants a show and will *make* me oblige him. I can't believe that he's come this far in such a short space of time considering his condition when we started out on this thing.
Running his fingers into my hair, he clenches his fist around a handful and jerks my face down to his. How pathetic. Ryou just fainted. And Anzu and Honda are making some rather funny noises as Yugi tries to calm them down. Not interested in that though because Yami's pulling me close now and that's all that matters.
Breaking away, we lean our heads against each other and turn our faces slowly to face them, matching smirks on our faces. I can feel him gather his magic and then we're both deposited into the Shadow Realm. We couldn't exactly continue this in the arcade; that carpet would definitely leave burns and I'm still trying to figure out how I got that one on my stomach.
Dropping to our knees, we continue now that the need to breath has been alleviated until a though flitters across my mind and I break away from him roughly. He frowns at me from his position on the floor from where I shoved him, looking marginally hurt but mostly just concerned.
/What's wrong?/
I fumble for the words to voice my outrage, my hands going to my head as I grit my teeth until my jaw hurts. /I just made the friggin' Laxative hit the jackpot. I was the one who rammed his head into the damned machine./
I do not like doing nice things. Never have and never will. Unless Yami's on the received end of them of course.
He chuckles at that, shoving himself back up onto his knees and pulling my head against his chest. I have a sweet spot on the back of my neck and he knows just how to exploit it. With nimble fingers working on my nape I'm practically purring.
/I think we should stay in here until Anzu and Honda have calmed down. Yugi says that she's in tears and he's white/
I move back and attack his mouth again, making use of the handy fact that we can talk through this bond without actually removing our tongues from each other's throats. /I'm not complaining/
Then the bond goes quiet as we get distracted with other very nice things. I'm still laughing though. 'I'm screwing Bakura'. Now why didn't I come up with something like that?
****
No ideas have struck me as to what to do to the guys next so if you have a suggestion, chuck it at me and I'll mull it over before I use it and take all the credit… Just review me and make me happy.
