I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long
Erase all the pain till it's gone
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm close to something real
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
****Ryou's POV****
I found myself running… Running from that room, from Kaiba… from the truth…
Inside my room, I had expected to find comfort. Instead, I felt regret. How stupid of me to leave him like that.
Tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision. As soon as I wiped one teardrop away, another appeared. It was hopeless. I was so pathetic.
//Ryou… Why the hell are you crying? Get back in there! //
/No Yami… he hates me, remember? What would he do if he found out I love him? /
//He'll reject us… like everyone else…//
"No he won't."
I stiffened up, quickly wiping my tear droplets from my eyes with the back of my hand.
Bria stood in the doorframe, an almost irritated look in her eyes. She stomped over to the couch I was sitting on, taking me by the shoulders.
"Ryou, Seto does care about you. He's cared about you since he saved you back in the Duelist Kingdom when he saved you from Bandit Keith!"
I was beginning to wonder how she came across this information. I knew she was somehow connected to me, but I wasn't sure how.
Bria looked as if she were worried about something now. I looked up as both of our brown eyes met.
"I know you've never really confessed to yourself truthfully that you love him… but now is your chance. Do you really love Seto?"
I gritted my teeth as I felt a pain tugging at my heart. The burden of Bria urging the answer out of me was making it worse. Then I remembered everything Kaiba did for me… And the way I truly felt.
"Yes… I do love Seto."
Bria leaned over, wrapping her arms tightly around my shoulders. It felt as if a ton had been lifted off of me. I felt… relieved.
Opening my eyes, I realized she was fading. Her body was now transparent, her hug becoming more and more loose. She melted into a ray of light that filled my heart with warmth. I was now aware of Bria's real reason of following me, and why she had cared so much. She was a part of me.
And as much as Yami complained, I knew he felt it too.
I understood now. And I knew what I had to do. Better get this over with…
* * *
My intuition had been right. Peering in through the window, I found Kaiba in his office, typing away on his computer. I knocked on the door, almost too light for him to hear.
//Oh come on Ryou, this is no time to get cold feet. //
The door opened as I came face to face with Kaiba's chest. I looked up at him, feeling a red tint color my cheeks. C'mon Ryou, think of something!
"Um… I… I couldn't sleep. May I come in here with you?"
Kaiba nodded, not saying anything. He simply moved out of the way so that I may pass.
// Woah. Creative. //
/ Yami, you're not helping! /
I stepped inside, past Kaiba's slim form. I could smell his cologne… It inhabited the whole room. I was so lost in the smell that I didn't sense him pass me and return to his chair.
Kaiba now sat in front of his computer, doing more research on the God Cards. I took a seat on the floor beside him, hoping not to disturb him. He noticed me anyway… Not even looking away from the screen, he spoke up.
"So why couldn't you sleep? Is something bothering you?"
This surprised me. Once again, he wasn't his cold self. He was acting like he cared… Raising my head, I tried to make up another excuse.
"Well… I…"
While searching for an answer, my mind wandered. Kaiba was sitting upright in his chair, obviously focused on his work. But somehow, I knew he was waiting on my reply more than anything.
I wish I could curl up in his lap right now… It looked so comfortable.
Kaiba caught me off guard. Thin fingers ceased their typing as he turned in his chair, facing me. Cerulean eyes were looking down at me, once again with kindness… Oh Kaiba…
"Bakura, are you alright? Your face is red…"
This had been going on for too long. I couldn't hold it in any longer. I found myself in a standing position, every second taking me a step closer. I didn't care what he thought of me or how he would react. Or at least, it didn't matter at the moment. I leaned over him, placing my hands over his on the chair's armrests.
//Ryou…. You didn't….You *did*… //
Without thinking, I had leaned forward, my lips pressing against Seto's.
I swallowed hard. Thu-bump…. Thu-bump…
I backed away, seeing the speechless look on Seto's face. His hand touched his lips where I had kissed him. He hadn't blinked; just stared. I could see it in his eyes…
Already feeling the rejection setting in, tear droplets rose into my eyes as I choked out those words. "But Seto… I love you…"
My legs were already giving out, too weak from shock. I turned, seeking a way out. The door! In my mind, it seemed so far, yet in reality, it was only a few feet. The weight of Seto's attention was too much for my body. My knees abandoned me as I dissolved into the ground.
From behind me, I heard Seto rise out of his chair and approach me. I regretted saying those words. Oh God… What's he going to do to me? He's going to punish me for such thoughts…
Expecting some sort of punishment, all I knew was to close my eyes and wait for it. Seto's body heat became closer. I could feel it through my shirt. And then, he leaned over, whispering something into my ear.
"Don't cry, Ryou," he spoke softly, wiping the tears from my eyes, "Because, I love you too…"
Relief and bliss engulfed me at once as tears of regret now turned to tears of joy. He loved me!
"S-Seto-"
His soft lips pressed down on mine, his arms pulling me into a hug. I realized, as we sat on the floor embracing, that there was no need for words now. I had him… and he had me. And that was all that mattered.
****Seto's POV****
Later that night, Ryou insisted that I sleep. It was 1:00 AM, and we still had the duel tournament to put up with.
He followed me to my room, seeing there was no reason to sleep in separate beds now.
Removing my white trench coat, I placed it on the hook beside the door. It was then I noticed the empty hook next to my coat where Trish's jacket usually went. I had to admit; I'd miss the little Mini Me following me around. Then again, Mokuba had always been there…
Deciding I shouldn't be worrying about such things, I returned to the small bed. It would barely fit the two of us, but I knew we'd manage. Turning out the light, I carelessly dropped onto my bed.
Ryou curled up on top of me, his frame fitting perfectly in my arms. I had never been so comfortable before… Closing my eyes, I could almost hear Ryou purring.
But the purring soon turned into a vicious growl. Suspicious, I opened my eyes. The windows only let in so much light. But even in that dim light, I could tell the difference in Ryou's form.
He had somehow gotten… taller… Pulling himself into a sitting position on top of me, grabbed the area between my legs, causing my blood to run cold. This wasn't like Ryou at all. Yet I couldn't move… I was frozen, almost afraid to move.
That sinister laugh arose in the darkness. That's when I realized it wasn't Ryou… I had a guess of what he could be, but I had to take a chance and ask. I mean, I had someone grabbing my crotch for God's sake!
I was now in a sitting position as well, ready to endure the one that had taken Ryou's place. At least he had let me go…
"Who the hell are you?!"
"I'm the one that sleeps within Ryou… I suppose you could say, his dark side…"
I was right. I had heard about the dark spirits that inhabited the Millennium Items and could take over their bodies… And now Ryou's Yami was sitting here in front of me.
"What do you want…?"
I was almost afraid to ask. Yugi's yami side was so different form his regular self. There's no telling what Ryou's yami would do…
"I want to know why you prefer to sleep with my hikari when you could be sleeping with me!"
With that, he forced my back to the bed, leaning down to whisper something in my ear.
"By the way, your pants are tight."
****Yugi's POV****
That night, I couldn't sleep. I couldn't get Yami to come out of the Puzzle, so he must have been asleep. I later tried Jounouchi's room, but I couldn't get him to the door either. There was only one other person I could guess was awake…
I stepped out of the elevator. Kaiba must be awake! I peeked inside his office's window, but the lights were off. The dim glow of the computer screen was the only light in the entire room. He must be in his room…
Kaiba's room was across the hall from his office. I ran over to his door, my fist pounding on it as loud as I could.
"Kaiba! Kaiba, are you awake?! Kaiba!"
I was quiet for a moment, listening for any sound of movement. There was- although it wasn't what I expected to hear. It sounded like moaning… was he in pain? I tried to get his attention again.
"Kaiba!! Kaaaaiiiiibaaaaa!"
Pressing my ear against the door, I could hear the ruffling of sheets and someone muttering. Footsteps were growing closer to the door until they paused beside the switch, the door sliding open. My jaw dropped as I felt my breath cease for a moment. There stood Bakura, his usually tight pants were unzipped and loose at the hips, revealing his boxers, his button-up shirt unfastened; one sleeve halfway covering his shoulder. It was obviously carelessly put on.
Bakura glared, his arms unfolding at seeing me. Stepping from the doorframe, his arm shot out, grabbing me by the shirt. Forcing me back against the wall, his grip tightening on my collar.
"How dare you interrupt-"
"Kaiba! He's hurting me! Kaiba!"
I tried to call for help, but it was no use. I heard nothing from Kaiba's room or the hallway. What if… What if Bakura hurt Kaiba?
"Kaiba's too weak to get up right now. Just go back to your room and fuck your Yami."
He let me go as I slid to the ground. Pulling myself into a sitting position, my eyes followed Bakura from the floor until he reached the doorway. I sprung up, my arms latching onto Bakura's legs, not allowing him to walk any further.
"What did you do to Kaiba?! Did you hurt him?!"
"Ah! Get off of me!"
Bakura began to struggle, freeing one of his legs. Kicking me in the side multiple times, he finally got me to let go. Scrambling to my feet, I rushed inside Kaiba's dark room, my eyes searching for his form.
"Kaiba! Where are you?!"
A groan rose from his bed. I rushed over to his bedside, pulling the covers away.
"Kaiba! Are you al-"
I froze as my face became hot. Kaiba lay on his back, his pale, bare chest exposed to the light. He groaned again, cerulean eyes opening to see me. Before I could see his reaction or say anything, Bakura took me by the hair, pulling me to the door, and throwing me out into the vacant hallway.
"Get the hell out! And stay away from Kaiba!"
The door slid shut in my face. I sat on my knees in shock- Had Bakura raped Kaiba? Heartbroken and crushed, I figured Kaiba would love Bakura now… Funny, I never knew he was like that. Getting to my feet, I decided to try Jounouchi's room again.
"Oh Jounouchiiiii…."
****Domino City, Present Time****
****Seto's POV****
The rest of the tournament went along smoothly. Sadly, I didn't win. That damned Yugi did. Although, it didn't matter anymore. I didn't really care.
When we returned from the tournament, Bakura came over. I realized he was anything and everything I could ever need. That afternoon, as he lay in my arms, I saw that my dreams had become real. This is where I wanted to be. Somewhere I belong.
I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long
Erase all the pain till it's gone
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm close to something real
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
*~*End.*~*
((Well, that's the end. Like I said a chapter or two ago, there's a sequel in the making, if you guys want it enough.
I felt the end was to cheesy, and not enough "romance" happened, so the sequel is full of it.
Please review!))
