'...': Thoughts /.../: Hikari //...//: Yami
Just Let Me Be in Love: A Special Visit
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Don't listen to that baka pharaoh." Bakura was cool in his remark and it sent shivers down the blonde's back. "He doesn't know anything about us." The two were walking along a silent back street in Domino.
"I know." Jounouchi sighed, slipping his hands into his jeans pockets, starring at the pavement beneath them.
"At least he was concerned, right?" Ryou's soft voice spoke and Jounouchi glanced to his left to see two silver haired men besides him.
"Yami just wanted me to be safe- I shouldn't have snapped."
"You have every right to snap." Bakura sighed and looked up, his steps slowing as they approached Jounouchi's run down apartment building.
"I might have that right, but Yami didn't mean bad. I shouldn't have-" A single finger was pushed against his lips.
"Shh. Don't worry about it anymore. It happened and all you can do is move on." Ryou smiled lightly and removed his index finger, leaning up and kissing the blond softly.
"I wish it were that easy." The teenager smiled weakly, honey eyes starring into soft brown ones.
"You're being so dramatic, Jounouchi, I swear." Bakura's simple words earned the yami two frowning expressions. He smirked lightly, shaking his head in amusement.
//Say good bye, Ryou. I know a way we can cheer him up.//
/Uh./
//Just do it.//
"Gomen." The hikari looked down at his hands. "Um- we have to go- I've got to start planning for school again."
//Good one.//
/You know I hate lying to him./
//It's worth it.//
"That's right, huh? I've gotta start getting ready, too." The teenager sighed. "Well- do I have to worry about us being able to still see each other?" He glanced at the two Bakuras.
"Don't worry. You'll be pleasantly surprised when we decide to see you again." The yami spoke nonchalantly, looking down at a rock he was rolling under his shoe.
"Yeah well..." Jounouchi shrugged away his confusion. "I guess we can talk later." The Bakuras nodded and stood silently in their spots as they watched the young man disappear into the complex.
~*~*~
Jounouchi wasn't exactly surprised to see his father sprawled out on his back, passed out on the living room floor. Neither was he surprised by the cans of cheap beer that littered the floor around him. If anything, he was annoyed.
'God- can't he at least go to work every once in a while?' The teenager sighed as he locked the front door and carefully made his way through the pig sty apartment and into his well kept room. He closed the door and lay on his bed- it had never been that bad before... when Serenity and his mother left, though, everything went sour. And now Jounouchi was dealing with a best friend's mistrust in who he chose as a boyfriend. Things were slipping and he was feeling overwhelmed.
'Plus vacation is nearly over...' Jounouchi thought regretfully, honey eyes sliding shut. 'I'll have to deal with that too.' A breeze skimmed, light blond hairs standing on end, but he ignored them. 'At least I'll have someone to turn to if it all gets too much.'
~*~*~
/Bakura- I really don't think this is safe./
//Oh please- I've done it plenty of times before.//
/What do you mean by "plenty"?/
//Well- just a couple times, anyway. Malik is better at this than I am...//
/Malik's done this too?/
//Of course- he's the one who made Jounouchi jack off.//
/That's so comforting.../
//Oh, I know it is, Hikari.//
If anyone had been paying attention, they could have seen a silver haired teenager climbing a rather tall tree- reaching out to stand on a window sill- opening a window slowly- and climbing inside.
//Nice room.//
/I know./
//He compensates for the general dump this place is.//
The single slender body looked around the room, observing every detail and object neatly in place.
/He looks peaceful like that./ The hikari smiled gently when their separated bodies sat on the carpeted floor looking up at a sleeping blond.
//Yeah I know.//
And then as if the blond knew he was being talked about, his closed lids fluttered open in a daze to look down at the males.
"Huh? What are you-?" He blinked several times, eyes shifting from the closed bed room door to his open window. "Oh- pleasantly surprised is an understatement." Jounouchi sat up, scratching the back of his neck.
"What- you don't like our decision to come visit? So ungrateful." Bakura said with a smirk. The young man slid of his bed, sitting on the floor in front of the two.
"Ungrateful? Nah- just a little embarrassed about it."
"Embarrassed?" Ryou asked softly, resting his head on Bakura's shoulder.
"Well- my dad's here." The teenager looked down, fingers playing with the carpet beneath him.
"Oh..."
"Oh?" Bakura's smirk grew. Jounouchi looked up at that, giving the yami a questioning look. Bakura leaned forward onto his knees, cupped Jounouchi's face with a slender hand, and let two pairs of lips meet- one vicious and one surprised.
"Hmph..." The blond moaned through the kiss, giving in without question to the probing tongue that seeked entrance. Vanilla was what the teenager tasted, and he felt his back recline against the side of his bed as Bakura's body pushed against his.
Suddenly the lips were absent and the yami was starring at his boyfriend intently. "I want to see you with my hikari." The male pulled away, Ryou taking his place after helping Jounouchi onto the bed. Soft kisses were soon assaulting the blond in places where RYOU hardly kissed without coaxing. A kiss along the jawbone, tongue trailing the neck, cushiony lips against his collarbone. Jounouchi was being pushed onto his back, Ryou straddling the slender figure as he continued his trail of kisses, Bakura setting the blonde's head onto his lap as his thin fingers wove through Jounouchi's satin locks.
"How are you embarrassed about your father being here?" Bakura chuckled as one hand caressed the victimized teen's blushing lips. The blond managed a laugh with some difficulty as Ryou's soft lips took his ear lobe in.
"Be-because..." His honey colored eyes slipped shut as he felt Ryou's thin fingers slide under his shirt, teasing the flesh with traveling fingertips. "He's an asshole..."
"Oh?" One of Bakura's caressing hands moved into his hikari's silver hair, letting the strands wrap carelessly around his fingers. "I thought you could be the asshole...." His index finger traced Jounouchi's smirking lips.
/We haven't done this with him before.../ Ryou sat up, lifting the blonde's shirt enough for his navel to be exposed; the hikari took the opportunity to dip his tongue inside.
//He needs this.//
/Is he ready, though? After what happened today?/
//He needs this more than ever now-//
A moan escaped Jounouchi's lips.
/But-/
Bakura felt two hands on the back of his neck, pulling him down to an avidly waiting pair of velvet lips. The kiss was hard and engulfing- the sheer impulse was domination and the yami took the throne without hesitation.
//Apparently he's VERY ready...//
/I guess.../
Ryou giggled as he sat up to watch the pair, fingertips teasingly making their way up further into Jounouchi's shirt. They circled his nipples before pinching softly. The owner squeaked into his kiss and unlocked, lifting his head enough to look at an amused Ryou.
"Come 'ere." Jounouchi commanded; the hikari leaned forward, both teenagers aware of the erections in both their pants as Ryou blushed.
Their lips connected, and compared to the harsh, razor- like kiss with Bakura, Jounouchi felt his body go weightless with the feathery world he knew was only Ryou. And then the blond tensed, unlocked, and gave a painful whimper.
"Ne?" Ryou sat up, leaving his hands under Jounouchi's shirt. "Jou..." The hikari looked at his yami who had a confused look as well.
The blond teenager lifted his shirt slowly, finally exposing skin past his belly button- revealing the multiple fist size bruises Ryou had put slight weight upon- and which the thin white fingers looked tiny in comparison against.
"Oh my..." The hikari moved his hands away, bringing them to his face. Bakura's eyes narrowed just looking at the familiar stains.
"Where did you get them, Jounouchi?" The yam was serious and the threatening voice he'd used earlier was back. At this the blond sat up, pulling his shirt down quickly.
"It's nothing." He lied- but both his lovers starred unconvinced.
"I demand to know."
"IT'S NOTHING!" Jounouchi yelled, shielding his ears. Why was he acting like that? He didn't know- impulses?
A tender hand fell atop his ear's barriers and gently pulled them away. Ryou was looking at him with a small, hopeful look. "We just care, Jou- chan..." The voice was calming and he felt himself being pushed forward as his shirt was pulled up over his shoulders. All the bruises and scars over the months were revealed to the Bakuras in the sun lit bedroom.
"They're nothing..." Jounouchi mumbled; they had always been there- what difference would it make to have a few more? Fingertips traced scars.
And then they heard a crash and a grumpy mumble. "Jounouchi ya son-of-a... bitch! Ge-ow 'ere and get me some more beer!" There was a loud burp at the end of the hall behind the closed door. "Lazy dumb ass son- ge-ow 'ere!" The said teenager turned in his spot, looking at the lover behind him who had a piercing stare.
"It was him, wasn't it...?" A familiar Millennium Eye was glowing on his forehead as they heard a scrapping against the wall leading towards the bedroom door.
The three males remained silent- listening to the man approaching the door. Jounouchi's face was blank and slightly pale as he watched Bakura's Millennium Eye start glimmering more brightly in his anger. Ryou merely held the blond- the sad and hurt look on his face very evident.
"Jounouchi you lousy, no goo-, son of a bitch- open the door!" The male shouted lazily before another burp. There was a thump- and then a smashing sound. Had he just broken something against the door?
"It's unlocked..." The blond whispered and his father almost automatically found this out. What the three males saw wasn't something all that pleasant.
