Chapter 4- Flooding Brilliance
Ryou: So…they got together.
Beverly: yeah. And the flashback! Bakura actually does love you.
Ryou: Really? Thankyouthankyouthankyou!!!!!!!!!!!
Beverly: O_O sure, no problem…It's in here somewhere…why do I talk to you so much anyway?
Ryou:…because I'm smart, you like my accent and you think my Yami's cool?
Beverly: Oh yeah…^_^U which reminds me. Since tonight's the new moon, I can switch. I pick to talk to/through you instead of Joey. Anyhow… Did I tell you the whole YGO cast lives in my head? I'm serious! They just do random things. And some of this chapter is Ryou's fault. I intended on keeping thing entirely Y/Y…but the idiot cast just doesn't listen to me…-_-U

Yugi woke up wrapped in warmth. He made a noise when it moved but snuggled into it, still mostly asleep. He was fully awake, though, when a finger traced down his back, sending a tingling sensation down his spine. He heard a light laugh behind him and the figure holding him growled.
"Oy, Beverly, go away would you."
"Hey, you're on my living room couch in case you hadn't noticed."
She started laughing again and Yugi blinked, sitting up, remembering the previous day's activities. If it was a previous day…
"What time izit?"
"Awake I see?"
She grinned.
"'Bout three in the afternoon. I'm guessing you've been having trouble sleeping then."
"Hai."
He rubbed his eyes and blinked.
"I'm hungry."
She laughed again.
"Lucky you, I sleep late too. I was just cooking some ramen. Want some."
"Hai."
"Alright then. Yami?"
"Hai, me too."
"I'll leave you two alone a while then."
She shook her head and left. Yami turned his face down to look at Yugi, mussing his hair.
"Morning sleepy."
"Mmm…Yami, that's not nice."
The shorter scrunched his face up and reached to move aside some bangs. The hair that usually, strangely, stood up by itself, was drooping on either side of his head. The yami laughed, sending shivers down the hikari's spine as the resonation shook the body that was holding the smaller boy. Behind the kitchen door, Beverly giggled slightly while subconsciously cooking the noodles. 'Well, that's two down. One more to go.' She smiled slightly when she thought of Malik and Marik. 'But. That did go about how it did for Ryou and Bakura. The four are more alike than they believe.'
[Flashback]
Ryou sat in the armchair, rocking himself back and forth, singing softly under his breath. All but he, Bakura and Beverly were sleeping, as it was at Seto's place and everyone had been invited, surprisingly even Malik and Marik, who most were still wary about. Especially Joey, who'd nearly killed Yugi. His eyes were closed and a bit of tears slid down his cheeks. Bakura stood in front of him, but Ryou didn't notice.
"Why are you crying?"
Someone may have thought he cared. That is, if they were too stupid to not have noticed the tone of voice. It was cold, annoyed. Ryou opened his eyes, staring at the floor. They slowly rose to meet Bakura's.
"Do you care about me?"
"Why do you keep asking me that?"
"Because I need to know."
"Does it matter?"
"Hai."
|Damnit, what did I tell you?|
||Shut up Beverly.||
"Wouldn't you rather know if I loved you, maybe?"
"I…I know it's asking too much."
He shook his head, but kneeled next to the chair, playing with a lock of the other's Chinese white hair. Ryou blinked in confusion but when the fingers accidentally stroked his cheek, he sighed and leaned into it, looking at Bakura intently. The darker half released the hair, grabbing the boy's chin between his thumb and forefinger instead. One of his fingers rested on the boy's neck, where he could feel the pulse quicken. He leaned in slowly before capturing the other's lips in a soft kiss.
\\Nothing's asking too much.\\
[End of flashback]
She returned to the world when she heard someone, or two someones, laugh behind her. A faint blush crept up her cheeks as she turned around.
"What's so funny?"
"You're cooking already-done ramen while staring into space, that's what."
"oh" ^_^U
The two laughed harder while she scratched the back of her head, grinning embarrassingly. She served everyone and stared at them while they gulped the noodles down like wolves.
'Well, now they're happy.'

Beverly: That's it. Short, I know, but I FINALLY updated
Ryou: ^_^ for me.
Beverly: Well, for Yami and Yugi too, but one of the parts was defiantly for you.
Ryou: ^_________^
