A/N – I'm really, really sorry this took so long, I just haven't been able to think of anything recently. Please r/r!
Cold Life, Chapter 7
Just as Frost and Bakura stepped into the game shop, they saw Yugi bolt up to his room and Joey follow him.
Behind them, Ryou was pounced on by his two lovers. Bakura sighed, Ryou probably ran away from them again. He always does when whipped cream is involved.
"There you are. I see you brought my card back too." Yami said angrily while absently rubbing his jaw.
"I don't think he should be your card anymore, Yami." Bakura glared, hiding Frost behind him protectively. Yami glared at Bakura.
"Are you saying that a tomb robber would be kinder than a Pharaoh?" Seto interrupted.
"Former Pharaoh you mean." Bakura snapped. He glared death at Seto and his millennium ring began to give off and eerie glow. Yami sighed angrily and marched up the stairs to get Yugi. He noticed that neither his lover nor the robber were going to back down so he decided to leave them be.
He returned minutes later to find Seto gone and Bakura kneeling next to Frost.
"Frost, wake up!" Bakura cried.
"What's going on?" Yugi said, worriedly as he and Joey ran into the room. Yami just looked and headed out the door to look for Seto.
"Seto...he caught me off guard and tripped me. Then he hit Frost really hard, he knocked him unconscious." Bakura said when Yugi and Joey joined him. "Please, wake up, Frost." Bakura whispered. Slowly, Frost's eyes began to move and his eyes opened.
"What happened?" Frost asked. He reached up to rub a sore spot on his head, when he pulled his hand away, he went pale. There was blood on his hand.
"What happened?!" Frost asked, frantically he was almost in tears.
"Calm down, you're fine it's not a lot of blood. But...Seto hit you and I'm sorry I couldn't stop him." Bakura said. Frost looked at him, sadness in his eyes.
"I can't stay here, Bakura. Bad things will keep happening! It's because I don't belong!" Frost cried, burying his head in Bakura's shoulder. Bakura sat there and held him for a few moments while Joey and Yugi watched from behind.
"Yugi," Bakura whispered, standing up with Frost in his arms. "I'm taking him home with me so he can get better." Bakura muttered. Then the carried Frost out of the shop.
The last thing Frost remembered, was being carried out of the game shop by Bakura. Not too long afterwards, he had fallen asleep, too tired to keep his eyes open. Now he awoke in a place that was unfamiliar but he was in a nice warm bed so he didn't mind. He knew Bakura had brought him somewhere safe and warm. He yawned and pulled the sheets up to his chin, suddenly feeling the need to warm himself and not wanting to wake. He dared to open one eye and when he did he sat up, looking out the window, not believing what he saw.
"It's night...? Already? But I almost never sleep during the sunset, so why...?" Frost whispered to himself. Then he remembered where he had been hit and ran a hand up his head to find it. His fingers met with a rough fabric and he smiled; Bakura must have bandaged him up while he was asleep. Frost yawned again and crawled out of bed, walking over to the window and sitting on the relatively large ledge and looked up at the night sky, sighing contentedly.
A little while later, he heard footsteps approach the room and the door opened. Frost didn't bother to turn around and continued to look out the window. The figure's steps paused as he entered, then the door shut and he walked over to Frost, wrapping his arms around his waist.
"I didn't know you were awake. How do you feel?" Bakura asked.
"Better, thank you. I'm just...surprised I slept so long, I missed the sunset." Frost said, somewhat longingly. The sunset was one of his favourite things as it signaled the start of night; what his card was designed for.
"I didn't want to wake you, you needed your rest. But next time I promise to make sure you're awake to see it." Bakura rested his head on Frost's shoulder and the two stared out into the sky.
"Next time... Will that ever happen?" Frost whispered to himself, Bakura, being as close as he was, heard it and frowned.
"Why wouldn't it?" Bakura asked.
"I don't know. I was just wondering..." He said, still looking at the sky. In the moonlight, his skin seemed to give off a pale silver glow because it was so pale, paler than even Bakura.
"Well I'll make sure it happens." Bakura said, smiling. He placed gentle kisses on Frost's neck and slowly led him backwards from the ledge towards the bed, placing him on it gently so that he was lying on his stomach.
"Bakura..." Frost whispered, just saying his name but not for any particular reason other than liking the sound of it. Bakura smiled and continued to kiss Frost's neck softly, running his hands up his shirt to rub his back soothingly. The glow continued even away from the window. He looked...ethereal.
"You're so beautiful, Frost." Bakura mumbled against his neck. If Bakura had been looking, he would have seen the very detectable blush that painted Frost's ghostly white cheeks.
Bakura began to remove Frost's clothing leisurely, taking in every bit of skin he uncovered. Though Frost's name and skin colour implied that he was cold, he was in fact very warm.
Taking his time, Bakura kissed his way down Frost's now bare back and slid his pants off his slender hips and finally, completely off his legs.
"Please...Bakura." Frost whispered. Bakura smiled and moved back up to Frost's neck. He caressed Frost's sides with one hand and used the other to remove his own clothing.
"Patience." Bakura murmured. Once both were completely rid of clothing, Bakura grabbed lubricant from the night stand. Frost was going to turn over, but Bakura stopped him.
"Stay like that." He said. Frost was hurt a little, but stayed on his stomach, placing his arms under a pillow and resting his head, waiting.[1]
As he felt Bakura stretching him, his mind wandered. He body still gave all the reactions it should, so nothing was noted.
Why won't he look at me...? He thought. Is it...is it because of what I am? ...No, I shouldn't think that. Bakura loves me...doesn't he? He realized he's never actually heard Bakura say that. Nor had he felt what it was like to kiss him.
All thoughts left once Bakura had entered him. It wasn't painful; he was a virgin but adjusted well because of what he was. Again, his mind strayed. He heard his body react to Bakura's actions, but he felt far away. Bakura might as well have been fucking a robot, programmed to make noises of pleasure if hit in the right spot. Even when they both finally came, he didn't come down to Earth, just lay there thinking with Bakura passed out on his back.
And so it continued for many days and weeks.
"Frost? Are you alright?" Yugi asked. Frost was spending the day in the shop while Yami and Seto were out. They were supposed to spend time together, but Yugi was too caught up in the store to do very much. However, he did notice when the card just sat and stared into space for over an hour. The raven and snowy haired boy was yet again, dressed differently. According to Frost, it was what Bakura wanted him to dress in. Today, he was wearing loose black pants with a silk button up shirt that was un-tucked and down to his mid-thigh. He had a small collar around his neck made of leather and had a little crescent moon shaped tag on it. His face had black eye shadow and black lipstick. Frost disliked parts of the outfit, but wanted Bakura to be happy, so he left everything the way it was.
"...Fine." Frost mumbled. He was bored, usually his days were spent underneath Bakura. Since that first time, Frost noticed that Bakura was no longer as sweet as he was before. It seemed he kept pushing him away every time Frost got close.
"Are you sure?" Yugi asked. Frost nodded and continued staring at the vase in front of him. Yugi sighed, knowing that if something was bothering him, he wasn't going to get an answer no matter what. Frost was like that, he never opened up much, only to Bakura.
At that thought, Bakura walked into the game shop.
"Is he alright?" Yugi asked, pointing to Frost, when Bakura walked up to the counter where Yugi was sitting on a stool. Bakura shrugged.
"I'm not sure, he's been acting that way for a while." Meanwhile, Frost hasn't noticed Bakura's entrance yet. "Frost." Bakura said. Frost looked up and his eyes showed a small sign of life as he got up.
"You're back." He said, walking over to Bakura.
"I just had a few things to do. Would you like to go home? I think that Ryou and his lovers may be there, unfortunately." He said. Frost just shrugged, indifferent.
"It's up to you." He said. Bakura nodded.
"Thanks for keeping him company, Yugi." Yugi nodded and Bakura led Frost out of the shop.
Something isn't right. Yugi thought to himself, before going back to the work he had in front of him.
1 – This plays an important role, later.
A/N – I hope this was
okay...oh, and I found out about that anonymous review thing. As it turns out we hadn't set it to that so
it must have been automatic, but I hadn't noticed it until just after I posted chapter
5, sorry about that. Please r/r!
