Three years had passed since Ryou freed himself from Bakura
Three years had passed since Ryou freed himself from Bakura. Even though he had finally escaped he couldn't help but feel lonely. Hid friends were always there for him, he could go out without having to ask for permission, but he still felt as though something was missing.
Winter came, he enjoyed the season but ever since that incident every winter day was just that. The snow was no longer appealing; it was just an endless sea of white. His friends attempted to drag him out of the house during the winter but he'd always say he had plans.
His phone rang, he knew it was Yugi or Tea, he'd just let the machine get it: -beep-"Ryou it's Yugi. The snow is high enough in the park. You should go out and meet us there. We'll make a snowman together. I hope to see you there okay?" The message ended and Ryou curled himself into a ball. He wasn't ready to face the world.
Yugi placed the phone down on its receiver and curled up on the couch next to his Yami. Yami kissed Yugi's head. "Yugi, when he's ready he'll come to us." "But Yami, it's been so long. We all want to help him but it feels as though he's holding something against us." "Yugi let me tell you something…" Yugi looked at Yami in the eyes; the innocent expression wouldn't let Yami say the words he wanted to say come out. He chose to kiss him instead, "Let's go make snowmen." "Okay, I just need to go grab my coat." Yami sighed, 'Yugi, Ryou has every right to hate us. We're the ones who caused his suffering.'
Tea and Tristan were the first to arrive at the park. They had a very hard time staying in the same room; they had no way to resolve the problem. Tristan tried to speak, "So…yeah. How's the weather?" "It's cold…cold is nice. Listen Tristan…" There was a rustling in the bushes. Tea jumped closer to Tristan. They heard a moan coming from one of the bushes and Tristan tossed a rock in fright.
"Argh! What the hell?!" "Joey!" Tea ran toward the bush. She noticed Joey wasn't alone, Kaiba was there with him both half naked sprawled on the floor. Tea immediately covered her face in embarrassment. "What are ya covering your eyes for? It's not like ya don't imagine you and Tristan doing this type of stuff." Joey was proud of himself for making both Tea and Tristan blush furiously. "Argh! What the hell?!" He was assaulted by another rock.
