Chapter 10

Shut up and Kiss Me

The weekend of the party was finally here, and Ryou was ecstatic. No, and this time, it wasn't because he would see Bakura Sato. After their 'date' a few days ago, Bakura and Ryou always found themselves talking to each other on the phone, half of the time playfully insulting each other. And because of that, Ryou had found out that Bakura liked it when the latter dressed down, in simple clothing—besides his colorful leggings and other things that littered his closet. But for this night, Ryou had carefully balanced it out.

His hair was still spiked, but his smaller bangs were clipped back by three baby blue pins. As for his clothes, he wore an an loose—thin black sweater, the edges designed to fall of his shoulder, a pair of denim jeans, black skulls ran down one leg and of course, his favorite black and white high tops.

"I just hope he likes it," Ryou muttered, studying himself in the mirror—which he found himself doing a lot more often than before. Smiling, he grabbed his small leather coat and headed downstairs, waiting to hear the editors horn.

As he walked down the stairs, he smiled as he past a couple of photos that he had placed on his wall. One of them held himself with Kisara, both of them smiling brightly. The second one was with Rebecca and Kisara along with himself, all of them had easy going smiles. As for the last one, it was one he had managed to take with the editor. Ryou held up the peace sign, his other arm wrapped around the editor's neck while Bakura smirked.

He loved that one.

Beeeep!

The care nurse jumped at the sudden sound but grabbed his things and rushed out the door, turning off the lights and locking the door behind him.

"Hey Bakura," Ryou chirped happily while climbing into the editors truck.

"You ready?"

"Yeah, I am." Ryou said buckling himself in as the editor pulled off from the curb.


Malik sighed for tenth time in the past three minutes as he stared at his friend on her bed.

"Are you sure you're going to be here by yourself, Masika?" Malik asked, smiling when he saw the actress roll her eyes playfully.

"Gods, I am going to be fine. You and Marik go enjoy yourselves, you both deserved it." she coaxed, pushing the smaller blond to join his husband by the front door of the house.

"If you say so," Malik muttered.

"Come on Malik, the party begins in the next hour," Marik called.

"Okay, Okay, I'm coming. We will see you later, Okay Masika?" Malik asked, placing a kiss on the girls cheek.

"Okay, tell my sister I said to call me, I heard that she was going to be performing for Yugi tonight,"

"Yeah, she is. I will tell her." Malik called, being pulled out of the door by his husband as a smiling Masika looked on.

She was feeling much better than before, that was for sure. True, she was still upset about the crude ending to her relationship with Bakura. She also knew that she wouldn't be able to attend Yugi's party tonight because she knew for an fact that her said ex would be there.

A scowl appeared on her face.

With his date.

"I need a drink," Masika muttered, heading off to the kitchen where Marik kept most of his liquor.


When Bakura and Ryou arrived to Yami's house, they were both surprised. Bakura expected to see valet, some one servicing the guest outside, but found no such thing. Cars littered the whole entrance while the guest filed into the house. They could already hear the music coming from the said house.

"Wow, this is amazing," Ryou said in awe, climbing up the stairs, his arm wrapped around the editor's.

"I know, Yami told me that Yugi was behind the whole designing theme," Bakura muttered as his chocolate brown eyes looked around. It looked something like an club, only a bit brighter. What it looked to be an dance floor was already packed, filled with people he had never even seen before, so he guessed they were somehow friends of Yugi's.

"Stay close to me," Bakura yelled over the music, his arm wrapping around the care nurses waist.

Ryou looked down at the arm before looking back up at the editor before smiling. "What, are you worried that I might be wist away by one of these guys on the dance floor?" Ryou joked, playfully elbowing his date in his stomach.

"Yes," Bakura stated simply.

Ryou could not help but smile at this.

"Ryou!"

Ryou looked around as soon as his name was called and smiled when he saw his mentor pushing through others to get to him. But, his smile faded when he saw his hand laced with another, that hand belonging to none other than Kaiba Seto.

"Hm, that's interesting," Bakura muttered to himself.

"Jou, hey," Ryou said as he smiled. "I never thought I would see you here...with Kaiba no less,"

Jou blushed, his hand coming to rub at the back of his head. "Yeah, I guess you can say that I have a thing for people that were in psych hospitals."

this caught Ryou's attention.

"Were, as in, not anymore?"

"You heard right," Seto said smugly, his arms coming to cross over his tight shirt. "My brother had pulled some strings, and my case was brought up sooner than expected."

"Congratulations," Ryou said while smiling, his brain still trying to catch up to the fact that his mentor was now dating one of his ex-patients. True, there were no rules for that at the institute, since the doctor had dated and married one before, but it was still unsettling.

"Have you seen Yugi yet?" Ryou asked, quickly changing the matter.

Jou noticed this, but didn't say a thing. "Yeah, he was talking to Yami about the performances, I know it's going to be kick ass," he said while smirking.

Bakura nodded. "Yeah, I suppose it is," he said before grabbing his hand, pulling on Ryou.

"Come on, let's go see if we can find someone else," he muttered, leaving Jou and Seto behind.

"Well," Seto said while looking down at his blond lover. "That was interesting,"

"I know," Jou said, taking a sip of his drink.

"Bakura and Ryou, hm..."

"I know,"

"Bakura didn't even ask about Kisara's case, either."

Jou sighed. "I know,"


Yami and Yugi were already on the dance floor when Bakura and Ryou found them, both of them dancing from the music that was blaring from the speakers that was placed on a makeshift stage.

"Yugi!" Ryou called, surprising the other before he hugged him tightly.

"Ryou!" Yugi cried, hugging his old care nurse tightly and laughed. "I am so happy that you could make it!"

Ryou giggled and nodded. "Of course I was going to come. Yes, we haven't known each other that long, but I still wanted to congratulate you. I am sure you heard about Kaiba,"

Yugi nodded. "Yeah, I did. I am so happy for him, I know his brother must be happy too. How is Kisara?"

"Well," Ryou said with a small smile. "She is doing fine. But, she isn't going to be all that happy when she finds out that her second friend is going to be leaving,"

Yugi nodded sadly. "Yes, I know. I am planning to go visit her on visitor's day,"

"That would be great!" Ryou said, jumping up and down slightly, his mind silently processing on how he could surprise the white haired girl with Yugi's visit.

"Okay, we're going to make that happen. Say, why don't you grab a drink and dance? We can talk about this a little bit later on, kay?"

Ryou nodded. "Of course,"

With a parting word, Yugi turned back to his Yami—who had looked in his direction and nodded once before turning his attention back to his boyfriend.

Ryou turned back to Bakura and smiled once before grabbing his hand. "Come on, let's get something to drink,"

Bakura nodded. "You read my mind,"

..


After a while, the party was officially in 'full swing' most of the group was either relaxing their feet on one of the many seats, while others just sat down to keep their world from spinning due to the fact of one to many drinks.

Half of the party population was eager to see the live music performance, which Yami had announced would be on stage in the next few moments.

Bakura had suggested that they sat down while they waited for the group.

Ryou, who was a bit tipsy at the moment; agreed before plopping down to his date, his head laying on the editor's shoulder.

Bakura smirked as he looked down to the care nurse face, the smaller face flushed a bright pink, partially due to the alcohol, the other because of the rising heat in the house. His smirk grew when he looked down to their entwined fingers.

Bakura had to admit, all this time he was spending with Ryou really took his mind of the whole 'cheating thing' with Masika and the public. He wasn't going to admit it out loud, but Ryou was someone he wanted when it came to relationship. Cute, witty, feisty, and kept the editor on his toes.

"Bakura," Ryou called tiredly, tugging on the other's hand. "What's the matter, you're looking at me like you lost it," he said, his brows furrowing together as he looked up at the editor.

"It's nothing, say--"

"Attention, everyone!"

Ryou, along with everyone else in the entire room looked to where the voice came from, only to see Yami standing on the makeshift stage, holding onto the microphone stand.

"I am sorry for the wait, but the group is finally here!" Yami said into the cheering crowd and moved away from the stage as three young guys sat behind the instruments while a lone girl—who looked familiar to Bakura—grabbed the microphone and smiled.

"I am so glad that everyone came to celebrate Yami and Yugi's engagement—everyone give the couple an nice applause for their engagement!" she yelled before turning to a blushing Yami and Yugi.

Ryou eyes widened, his mouth hanging. He didn't know that Yugi was getting married to Yami!

"Hn, about time," Bakura muttered.

"Okay, now, let's dance people!" the rock star cried into the piece of technology before letting it go, and grabbed the electronic guitar that was around her neck and began to play a riff that made half of population jump up and down. Ryou was one of them.

"Bakura, come on! I love this song!" Ryou said, grabbing the editor's hand and pulled him to the dance floor.

"You're too loud, I'm so hyper
On paper we're a disaster
And I'm driving you crazy
It's my little game"

Bakura growled as he tried to follow the smaller onto the dance floor, shoving people who had gotten a bit too close for his liking. He then paused when he saw Ryou twirl and move, but stopped when he held out his hand, silently asking him to join.

"Go ahead now, admit it
You like your world with me in it
Like a record, it's broken
Yeah, I'm a bump you'll never get over."

Bakura smirked when Ryou pulled him closer, his small lips moving with the lyrics of the song. Yes, that was true. He then found his arms wrapped around Ryou's, who began to smile at the gesture.

"This love (love)-hate (hate) relationship
You say you can't handle it
But there's no way to stop this now
So shut up and kiss me...."

Bakura eyes widened when he noticed the other's lips move with the last verse and Ryou stood on his tippy-toes, waiting for Bakura to make his move.

Bakura felt light headed as he stared down at his date, his face still flush from before, his eyes half mast, making his doe brown eyes even more noticeable.

Shut up and kiss me....

And that's what Bakura did as he finally closed the distance between himself and Ryou. He felt the small body that he held close to his own shiver while trying to move closer, returning the kiss with much fervor.

As the riff of the song began to play, Bakura gripped onto Ryou even more, the kiss getting deeper than before.

It was something long waited.

Ryou felt the need for air take over him.

It was something he craved for, the taste of Bakura Sato.

His body began to quiver even more...something that never happened to him before. But Ryou knew he liked it. Slowly, he moved away from Bakura, his eyes opening to look up at Bakura.

He got what he wanted.

But why did he feel like he wanted so much more from Bakura?

"Bakura...I..."

This feeling...

Why wouldn't it go away?!


Okay, that's it folks, I hope you all liked. Be sure to review!

Next chapter, Ryou goes to Ishizu with his problem. She tells him something that he denies.
