Stupid computer, won't let me upload one-shots properly...

The bell rang, and Ryou slowly trudged to his seat, ignoring the stares that were directed at him. He was beyond all caring at this point; it didn't matter anymore that he was barely able to walk.
"Ryou?" Otogi pulled up a seat beside the platinum-haired boy, his face drenched in concern. "Ryou, are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
"Are you sure?"
Ryou sighed, combing his hair absentmindedly with his fingers. "Yeah, I'm sure. Don't worry about me...it's just one of those days, you know?"
"I hate seeing you like this." Otogi placed a hand on Ryou's shoulder, causing him to jump. "You look so depressed."
"I'm fine, okay?" snapped Ryou, swiftly standing up and asking the teacher if he could go to the rest room. Once there, the chocolate-eyed teen locked himself in and curled up in a tiny ball on the floor, breathing heavily.
*The maddest kind of love...is a love you know's a lie*
'Why? Why does it have to be like this?' Ryou clenched his fists tightly, his nails biting into the soft flesh of his palms. He huddled towards the side wall of the stall, trying in vain to achieve the warmth he so desperately needed. He couldn't cry...he wanted to...oh, how he wanted so badly to let the tears flow...they wouldn't though. Ryou never seemed to get what he desired; the fates weren't kind.
*It leaves you feeling empty...too weak, too cold to cry.*
~*~
Parking the car, Ryou pounded on the steering wheel in frustration. He had to end this. He HAD to end it. 'I can't take it anymore...' Biting back tears, he turned off the gas and stepped out of the car, school bag in hand and pain in his heart. 'How do I tell him it's over when...we never had a chance to begin?'
*You know I speak from experience; I live it each day*
*It's something he does; it's something he'll say*
Ryou opened the door and stepped inside. Upon reaching the kitchen counter, he found a note scribbled in coarse handwriting that was undeniably Bakura's. Ryou lifted it, almost afraid of what he would see.
//Ryou, I've gone to Egypt with Malik for a few weeks. Don't touch my stuff.
-Bakura//
Ryou's eyes filled up with tears and he tore the note in two, then four, then ripped it into tiny confetti-like threads, which he let flutter into the living room fireplace. The young boy screamed, so loud it threatened to disrupt the neighbourhood. Ryou wailed and sobbed, collapsing onto the soft couch by the fire. 'He left...he left and he didn't even say goodbye, doesn't even give a damn whatsoever...'
*It's the maddest kind of love*
It was well known to Ryou that Bakura and Malik often fooled around together; they had been doing so before Bakura even gave Ryou a second glance. It hurt though...it still hurt and Ryou was now reduced to a bawling mess. The poor teen flailed around until his hands found the portable phone.
-Ring Ring-
"Monster Game Centre, home of the Dungeon Dice Monsters, Otogi speaking."
"Hey."
"Ryou...hey. What's wrong?"
"I..." A fresh wave of sadness overcame Ryou, and he sobbed loudly into the receiver. "Come over...please."
"I'll be over as soon as I can." Ryou pressed the off button, the saline streaming down his cheeks.
*It's a mad, mad love...it's the maddest kind of love*
When Otogi reached the Bakura residence, he found his friend huddled by the fireplace, clutching a small shred of paper and crying like the world was going to end. Worried, the ebony-haired teen curled up by Ryou and pulled him into an embrace. Ryou burrowed into Otogi's arms, soaking his shirt with the tears that wouldn't stop running down his face.
*It's a mad, mad love...Oooh, yeah!*
When Ryou's sobs died down somewhat, Otogi found his voice and managed to venture a question. "Ryou...what is it?" The platinum-haired boy sniffled and gripped Otogi's arms like a vice.
"He...he just got up and l-left...didn't even say goodbye...goddamit, why can't I s-stop loving him?" Ryou's sobs became deafening once more, and all Otogi could do was hold him close, hoping he would somehow get better. "Why..."
"I don't know Ryou...I really don't know." Otogi sighed and ran his fingers through his friend's silky hair, wishing there was something more he could do, something he could say to make Ryou feel better. It didn't help of course that Ryou was crying over someone he didn't even know about.
*You're in love*
"Ryou, who was it?" Ryou shook his head, not willing to divulge any further information. Resting his head on Otogi's shoulder, his sobs hushed to whimpers as his friend drew slow, methodical circles on his back.
"It doesn't matter...nothing really matters anymore."
*Don't fall in love*
The two sat there, the fire keeping them warm and casting an orange glow over them. To an onlooker from the outside, it would seem as if the two were lovers caught in a happy, tender embrace. Unfortunately for Ryou, such was not the case, and his tears continued to fall.
~*~
That's all! What did you think about it? I know I haven't wrote in a while, I have to be in the mood to do fanfiction. I've also become addicted to some other sites, not to mention a sudden interest in Gundam Wing yaoi...
Let me know how this was in a review and have a great day!
