I was hoping for a few more reviews, but thanks Todo & Shaami for
reviewing, & thanks for the tip Todo, hopefully this chapter will be easier
to follow. I think I'm going to write this chapter all from Yami's
perspective, which will be at least slightly OOC & definitely playing
towards the future pairing. Anyway, time to get on with the chapter.
~-~
I'm stood outside of Ryou's house, trying to decide why I came, even though I know why, I've been stood here for about five minutes now & if I don't decide what I'm doing shortly, Ryou will leave for school. I sigh & finally knock on the door; it doesn't take long for Ryou to answer, though he stares at me in shock for a few moments.
"Uh, Yami.Good morning, what are you doing here?" His British accent as clear as always.
"Well, I thought that, if you & Bakura didn't mind, that Bakura & I could keep each other company for the day?" I mentally cringed at how pathetic I must have sounded; I don't understand why I'm so nervous.
Ryou wears the same shocked look as when he answered the door, though he still manages to politely invite me inside, before calling Bakura.
I think I'm going to faint.the tomb robber has just walked downstairs & isn't exactly wearing much, I find myself surprised that he is actually well-toned, though sleek & despite being half asleep, he still manages cat- like grace, his slightly dishevelled hair makes him look more dangerous, but also rather alluring & his tight, black silk boxers leave little to the imagination, I don't understand, why am I finding him so, attractive?
Bakura finally realises I'm in the room & practically looks 'like a deer in the headlights', I keep staring at his well-muscled chest & am probably blushing at this point, not something I do normally, but today seems to be ignoring my rules.
"What are you doing here Pharaoh?" Bakura finally manages to ask.
"I thought we could, excuse the term, 'hang out', I for one, get very bored while my hikari is at school." I manage not to stutter or sound worried this time, much to my relief.
Bakura would never let me live such a weakness down, softer or not, I can still tell he holds the same dry sense of humour. He simply stares at me like I'm crazy, before turning his gaze to Ryou, so I assume the two are talking.
"Fine Pharaoh, I suppose I can put up with you, since you have kept me a secret." Bakura stated after a few moments.
He then ran upstairs, saying that he'd better get dressed. If I didn't know better, I'd swear he was blushing, I definitely think I am, I practically jumped up & down for joy when he agreed to let me spend the day with him, I think I must be losing it. I came to find out what I could, not swoon over an incredibly sexy.please don't tell me I just called him sexy.If he knew what was going through my head, I think he'd probably kill me.
"If you need me for anything Bakura, call the school & say you need me to come home because of family issues, the number is by the phone, I'll see you later! Bye Yami, have fun & be nice." Ryou yells/says before leaving the house.
I find myself glad that his yelling knocked me out of my rather confusing thoughts. I walk into the living room & sit on the couch, waiting for Bakura to return. I'm not made to wait long, he comes down wearing skin tight leather trousers & an unbuttoned shirt, I find myself staring again & when he sits down I feel about ready to faint, I don't know whether it's deliberate or not, but how he's sat down accentuates everything, I can't believe he can look so, hot. I hope he moves soon, or I think I might start trying to make-out with him. I mentally smack myself for thinking something like that I try looking at something else, anything to get my mind off of how absolutely gorgeous he looks right now.
Looking around the room, I notice a black, rectangular-shaped item, it isn't anything I recognise, not that I'm wonderful when it comes to identifying technology, figuring this could be the distraction I needed, I ask him what it is, which results in him laughing hysterically, I pout, it isn't my fault I don't know what it is, surely it can't be that funny.
"The great almighty Pharaoh doesn't know? I thought you & Wheeler were friends. Here, let me show you." Bakura says mockingly when he finally stops laughing enough to talk.
I watch him walking to a cabinet & pick up a case, which looks like Yugi's DVD's, maybe it's a different type of DVD player? Sure enough, he places the disk into the black box & then throws something at me, which is attached to the box. I look at him quizzically, but he just motions for me to wait & proceeds to turn the TV on, before picking up the other object like the one he threw at me.
"It's a game console Yami, the 'thing' in your hand is a pad, you use it to control your character, I'll explain how it works in a second, I just need to find the memory card." He trails off & begins searching around the room.
He finally finds whatever it was he was looking for, much to my disappointment, I had a very nice view of his ass.I can't believe I just thought that, though, it is nice, like the rest of him. Gah! Yami, stop it!
I look up to find him stood over me, looking at me oddly, I shake my head & smile, he simply shrugs & sits beside me to explain how this 'pad' thing works, something tells me I'm not going to be listening very well though, the heat & proximity is practically electrifying, I really do feel like just jumping him & making out instead.not again, Yami stop it, you shouldn't be thinking these things, certainly not about a tomb robber who would kill you if he found out.
After about fifteen minutes, I think I finally get it, so Bakura loads the game up & chooses a level, he even put it on easy, not something I expected.
The level starts & I manage to 'die' within the first thirty seconds, by blowing myself up no less, once again, this causes Bakura to start laughing at me, though he still manages not to get killed & is actually very good at this game.
"Yu-Gi-Oh can't play a game? Shocking, what would everyone think?" Bakura managed to say, still laughing.
I mumble a few Egyptian curses, which rewards me with more laughter, though I've just realised it's not the same maniacal from before & is actually pleasant to hear. I hit the button to 're-spawn' & try again, doing slightly better, though I have yet to master the controls. When I finally kill someone I practically jump around the room in excitement, Bakura pauses the game & laughs softly at my excitement, the sound adding to his beauty, I think I understand what Ryou meant last night, when he said Bakura was a wonderful person.
After a few more tries, I finally get the hang of it, so Bakura lets me work with him against the.'bots', I think he called them. He even let me come up with strategies, both working together as equals, not something I was used to, but definitely something I enjoyed. Yugi & his friends treat me as something to go to for advice, but not really one of them, being equal with Bakura & working with him is something that I cherish, having someone treat me like a person for once is a truly wonderful experience.
We sit laughing & showing off about our stats on the game when we hear the front door close, looking at the clock, I realise school has finished, we both look at each other, shocked that so much time could have gone by without us realising it. Ryou steps into the room & few moments later & smiles.
"You two had a good day then I take?" He seems thrilled we haven't hurt each other.
"Yeah, Yami & I played the console all day, he actually got pretty good, even beat my score a few times." Bakura replies, grinning.
I feel myself blushing at the compliment. "Just got lucky, anyway, guess I'd better get back to the game shop."
Ryou nods & leads me to the front door, I turn & look at Bakura, deciding today has been too good to leave it at that.
"Today's been fun Bakura, thanks, for letting me stay & for teaching me how to play. Uh.feel like, I don't know, going to the pictures or something tomorrow?" I sound far too nervous & hopeful, not a good thing.
"Sure.so long as it isn't some stupid sappy thing." He replies nonchalantly.
I think he's happy I asked, I guess he had as much fun as I did. I nod & smile, before saying good-bye to them both & heading back to the game shop.
