Hey, back, well, anyway....

Yami glanced at the clock, and found it was nearly eleven o' clock. He found it odd that his little hikari was not awake at that hour, but kept watching TV, not wanting to disturb him. Finally, when it was close to eleven thirty, Yami got worried.

//Hikari?// He called through his mental-link with Yugi.

/Huh? Oh, hey Yami./ Yugi answered back, tiredly.

//Yugi, it's almost eleven thirty. You might wish to wake up now.//

/Eleven thirty? Oh, ok, I guess I should get up then./

A few minutes later, Yugi came out of his bedroom. He sat down next to Yami, and Yami blushed. Yugi was only wearing his boxers!!! When Yami regained control of his breathing, he turned his head to look at the half-asleep person beside him. He was toned, not muscular. Thin, but built. His eyelids were drooped in the most adorable manner.

Suddenly, Yugi's eyes closed, and his head fell on Yami's shoulder. Yami blushed deeper, very surprised by his hikari's touch. The soft sound of Yugi's faint snores were pressed close to his ear. Yami could feel his breath on his neck. He shivered.

What's wrong with me? This is Yugi! This is my hikari! Why am I feeling this way?

As Yugi snuggled closer, Yami felt the strong urge to kiss him. He knew he couldn't. Yugi would never accept it. He had to control himself. He had to... WAKE HIM UP! Yes! Perfect plan! Then the temptation wouldn't be there anymore!

//Yugi!//

/Huh? What Yami?/

//Will you please stop using me as a pillow?//

/Oh. Is that what I'm sleeping on?/

Yami chuckled. //Yes it is, Hikari.//

/Oh. Ok./

Yugi moved away, and soon fell asleep again. Yami looked at him with affection. A few strands of hair fell into his face, and Yami brushed them away carefully, as to not wake the sleeping angel. He couldn't resist. He bent down, and brushed his lips to Yugi's cheek.

"Sleep well, little Hikari." he whispered. He then moved to get off the couch without disturbing Yugi.



Bakura checked through all the cupboards of the house and still couldn't find his favorite cereal. He needed the sugar to survive, so he began to search frantically. The cupboards only contained the wheat stuff Ryou ate, so he sat down to wait for Ryou to come out and find his sugary cereal.

The water in the bathroom turned off, and a few seconds later, Ryou came out in a cotton robe. Bakura's jaw dropped. The robe was half-way open to reveal a very well built chest. Though it was still a porcelain color, like the rest of his skin, it became apparent that his little hikari had done some working out. With lovely results.

When he had remembered how to speak, he asked "Ryou, where are my Sugar Bites?"

"I don't know, where were they yesterday morning?" Ryou asked.

"Well, I was eating them, and then I ran out, and– Oh."

"Well, I suppose we'll have to buy some more when we go to the supermarket tomorrow." Ryou said calmly.

"But I want some NOW! You go out and buy some!" Bakura whined, sounding like a little child.

"What? No!" Ryou shouted.

"Yes you will!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"GRRRRR! YES you WILL!" Bakura yelled once more, pouncing on Ryou, knocking him to the floor. He tried to punch Ryou, but he dodged it with ease. He repeated his punching attempt, with the same results, several times.

"Why (punch) Cant (punch) I (punch, punch) Get You??????" Bakura gasped out, breathless from fighting.

"Because you're so predictable. You need to learn to catch me off guard." Ryou said, dodging every punch and not even breaking a sweat.

"How in the Depths of the Underworld am I supposed to do that?" Bakura said, after catching his breath.

"Well, you can always do something like... this!" Ryou quickly flipped Bakura over, and bent down, kissing his yami.

It was like nothing they had ever experienced.

The passion and energy of the kiss was enough to make Bakura go crazy with need. He would never have expected something so powerful to come from his little hikari. He felt surprised by Ryou's forwardness, yet, soon felt himself responding to the kiss. Ryou's tongue forced it's way into Bakura's mouth, a paradise in itself. Two tongues battled for dominance, but Ryou's won hands-down. Bakura felt as though their bodies were merging. Like two halves. Light and Dark. He felt himself submit to the kiss completely. He knew at that moment that he needed Ryou. Needed him to carry on. Needed him to survive.

Suddenly, Ryou broke the kiss. Looking into the darker brown eyes, Ryou confidently stated "See? I caught you off guard. Right then, I could have kicked you in the... you know. Oh my, I have to pick out what I'm going to wear for my date with Yugi tomorrow! See ya!"

With that, Ryou got off of Bakura, and walked into his room. Bakura was speechless. Had he just... just... HE HAD! He had KISSED his HIKARI!!!



"Hey Ryou!" Yugi said on the phone to his friend.

"Hey Yugi! How'd it go?" Ryou asked.

"Well. I scored a kiss on the cheek." Yugi said proudly.

"That's good. But I did better..." Ryou said, evilly.

"Oh really? What'd you get?" Yugi asked indignantly.

"A full kiss. WITH tongues." Ryou said proudly.

"Are you serious????" Yugi asked.

"Yup. It was great."

"Well, tomorrow's the 'Date'. I can't wait to see how that goes." Yugi said in excitement.

"Yeah, well, see ya tomorrow."

"See Ya, Ryou."
