Hole 10

"Too many freaking barrels," growled Bakura as he yet again hit his ball towards the hole and yet again was forced to stand there and watch it bounce off in a completely different direction than intended. Whoever thought it was a good idea to create a maze of prop barrels on this hole was sorely mistaken.

Bakura didn't think it was a good idea at all. In fact, he thought it was an incredibly bad idea. One that was making him add another six strokes to his already abysmal score.

"Nice job, 'Kura-kun," said Ryou sincerely when Bakura finally managed to hit the ball into the hole. "This one is really difficult."

Bakura scowled and said nothing. At least Ryou was sure to get a poor score as well. The barrels blocked any semblance of a direct path to the hole. There was no way to get less than a three...

Ryou dropped his ball at the start of the hole and eyed it calculatingly, as if it were actually possible to have a plan of action on this monstrosity of a hole. He took a deep breath and hit the ball. It bounced wildly from barrel to barrel like a pinball in a machine before rolling neatly into the hole.

Ryou jumped up and clapped, a wide grin spreading across his face.

Bakura felt his jaw drop as he turned to look at his boyfriend. He quickly turned it into a scowl when he noticed Ryou looking.

Ryou, on the other hand, quickly turned his excitement into humble surprise. His brown eyes wide and expectant.

He was lucky he was so damn cute.

"Nice job," said Bakura. He hoped it sounded at least a little begrudging.
