Dice
*****
Warning: Contains Yaoi.
Those who do not like that should turn back now.
Pairing(s): Ryou/Bakura, Yami/Yugi, Malik/Marik, Seto/Jou
I'm splitting this story into four parts. One part will be for
Ryou/Bakura, one for Yami/Yugi, one for Malik/Marik, and one for Seto/Jou.
They'll be in separate chapters, but they all seem revolve around the same
song; Dice.
You don't have to read all four, but you're welcome to! ^^
'Dice' is a song by Finley Quaye, and
features Beth Orton
(Don't worry if you've never heard of either one of them, because neither have
I, 'til now. ^_^)
***************
Part One:
Ryou/Bakura
***************
**~**~*~**~**~*~**~**~*~**~**~*~**~**~*~**~**~*~**~**~*~**~**~*~**~**
Ryou shoved his
hands in his jacket pockets as he walked down the sidewalk towards his house.
He shivered as a cool winter breeze blew by. The winter was nearly half over,
but it still grew colder and colder with each passing day. Ryou began to hum
softly to himself, blushing as a woman who walked by smiled warmly at him. He
was humming along to one of the songs he had heard on the radio earlier that
morning. Of course, he hadn't heard the whole thing, because Bakura had thrown
the radio out the window, and it had smashed into hundreds of tiny pieces.
Bakura had claimed that the song had
carried subliminal messages in it, and that he couldn't take the 'horrible
racket' any longer. In his exact words.
At the memory, Ryou
laughed out loud, and watched as his breath became visible in the cool air. Ryou
sighed, and continued on his way back to his home. Bakura. Now that was one
topic that Ryou couldn't help but think about. He loved Bakura. With all
his heart. Only to find out that Bakura didn't love him back in the same way.
To Bakura it was merely brotherly love. That's what Ryou figured.
He blushed harder as his house came
into view, and at the idea of Bakura being in there. He walked up the narrow
pathway to the front door, and reached out to grab the doorknob. Suddenly the
door swung open, nearly giving Ryou a heart attack, revealing a very confused
looking Bakura.
"What's this thing supposed to be?!"
Bakura held out his hand, and opened it, frowning at Ryou as he giggled
suddenly. "What? What's so funny? Tell me what it is!"
"Well, Bakura… That's – that's-" Ryou
laughed harder, nearly losing his balance on his front steps. Ryou controlled
his laughter as he stared at a little white object in Bakura's hand. "That's
something you shouldn't be looking at right now." Ryou said with a smile forming
on his face as he suppressed his laughter. Bakura frowned.
"Well, what do you use it for?" Bakura
glared at Ryou, who blushed. "What?"
"Um, Bakura, I-I'll tell you later,
okay?" Ryou snatched it out of Bakura's hand, and shivered. Whether it was from
the cold or the idea of Bakura going through his father's old personal
objects, it wasn't quite clear.
Bakura grabbed Ryou by his arm, pulled
him inside, and slammed the door behind them. He let go of Ryou's arm once they
were completely inside, and headed for the television.
Ryou shook his
head, and sighed as he pulled off his jacket, hung it up in the closet, and
walked up the stairs and into his room. He dropped his bag on the ground beside
his desk, threw out the unmentionable white object, and dropped himself down
onto his bed, where he buried his head in his pillow, emotions and exhaustion
suddenly overwhelming him.
"Oh, Bakura…" Ryou cried into his
pillow softly, as to not alarm his darker half. "Why do I have to love you so
much…?" He sobbed into his pillow until he could cry no more. He was thankful
that he had closed his door, because there was a small knock on it, giving Ryou
time to compose himself before answering.
"Yeah?" Ryou called out, trying to
control the shaky edge to his voice.
"Are you alright in there?" Bakura's
muffled voice asked from behind Ryou's closed door. Ryou wiped his eyes with
his sleeve before answering.
"I-I'm fine, why?" Ryou jumped
slightly as the door opened without warning. Bakura walked in, a suspicious
look on his face.
"What were you doing, and why's your
face all red?" Bakura raised an eyebrow as Ryou laughed nervously.
"Oh, nothing, I'm
just… I'm just cold." Ryou said quickly, slapping himself mentally for coming
up with such a stupid lie.
"You were crying, weren't you?" Bakura
stood in front of Ryou, his arms crossed, a frown had formed on his face. Ryou
sighed, and stared down at the floor.
"How would you know if had been
crying?" Ryou looked back up at Bakura, who was now staring at him in complete
disbelief.
Bakura tapped the side of his head,
his eyes closed. "Mental link, remember? You never block it. You really should,
baka." Bakura opened his eyes, and sighed. "Why the crying?"
"Oh, it's nothing. Just something
that's been bugging me the past while." Ryou pulled back his white bangs that
had been covering one of his eyes.
"Care to tell me 'bout it?" Bakura sat
down beside his light, watching him intently.
"I'd rather not talk about it right
now, Yami." Ryou looked sideways at his Yami, and smiled reassuringly at him.
He let out a yawn, earning a laugh from his darker half.
"Well then, maybe a good rest will
change your mind." Bakura stood up, and pulled Ryou off of his bed, and slid
him under his covers.
"Really, I'm fine. I-I don't need to
sleep, I'm just a little worn out, that's all." Ryou smiled, and tried to get
out from under his covers, but Bakura shook his head and tucked the blankets
around Ryou until Ryou could no longer move. He sighed in defeat.
"Well, you hardly slept last night.
I'm surprised that you actually got out of bed this morning." He smiled, and
walked towards the door before turning back to look at Ryou. "Why didn't you
sleep much last night? What kept you awake?"
"I was just… thinking." Replied a
drowsy Ryou.
"You do that too much." He smirked,
and finally turned back around, and left Ryou to sleep. But he left the door
open. "Just in case you change your mind." He whispered as he walked
down the stairs quietly.
Back in his room, a
smile was forming on Ryou's face as he fell into a deep sleep, obviously
dreaming about something. Or someone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was crying over you
I am smiling, I think of you
Where your gardens have no walls
Breathe in the air if you care, you compare, don't say farewell
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few hours later, Ryou squirmed around
under his blankets, and his eyes snapped open. He felt too warm, and was almost
dizzy from being tucked in so tightly. After a few minutes of squirming around,
the blankets became loose, and he slipped out of his bed.
Ryou walked out into the hall, down
the stairs and into the family room, where he found Bakura laughing in an
insane manner at the television. What wasn't so funny was that he was watching
a horror movie with people being hunted down and brutally murdered. Ryou shook
his head at the sight, and reached his hand out to prod at Bakura's shoulder,
but in an instant Bakura had jumped over the back of the couch he was sitting
on, drawn his dagger, and held it up to Ryou's neck.
Ryou literally stopped breathing as it
happened so fast, but he stared into Bakura's eyes with determination. Bakura,
seeing who he had nearly attacked, pulled back his dagger, and growled.
"You of all mortals should understand
that no one can just creep up on me without being seen." Bakura jumped back
over the couch, and sat down.
"Wow, now that's paranoia for you."
Ryou laughed nervously, and walked around to the other side of the couch,
sitting himself down at the end of it, as far away from Bakura as he could sit.
"And why is it that I'm a mere mortal, and you're not?"
Bakura cocked his head to the side,
raised an eyebrow, and looked over at Ryou in disbelief. "Because I'm a
Tomb Robber." He looked back at the television screen, and continued to stare
at it. Ryou rolled his eyes at his Yami's answer, and laughed.
"And how is that funny?" Bakura
demanded as he unglued his eyes from the screen to look at his hikari. "Being a
Tomb robber is nothing to laugh about."
"Because I think it's funny. It's like
you think you're a Superman or something." Ryou sighed, and smiled.
"And what if I was?" Amusement danced
in the back of Bakura's dark eyes.
"Well, you aren't." Ryou stared up at
Bakura, and raised his eyebrows. "You aren't above the human race or anything
because-" Ryou was cut off by Bakura literally pouncing on, pinning him to the
couch. Ryou's cheeks flushed as he tried to hold back all of the hidden
emotions that were coursing through his veins.
Bakura smirked, and leaned in closer
towards his lighter half until his mouth was beside Ryou's ear, his every
breath tickling him. "Well it seems as though I'm above you." Bakura chuckled,
and slid off of his completely shocked hikari. He walked away from Ryou, leaving
his smaller look a like to go over what had just happened in his mind. And go
over it he did. Several times.
When he regained his composure, he sat
up on the couch, still confused at what had just happened. Had Bakura simply
been making a point? Or was it something… more?
Ryou jumped up off the couch, and
walked into the kitchen, nearly walking into Bakura as he did so. Ryou couldn't
keep from blushing when they made eye contact, and he quickly looked away.
Bakura chuckled, and ruffled Ryou's
light hair. 'Probably brotherly love,' thought Ryou in disappointment.
Ryou walked over to the kitchen table,
and sat down, a look of clear disappointment on his face. Bakura followed him,
and sat down across from him. He leaned his elbows on the table, held his head
up with his hands, and stared at Ryou 'til he fidgeted under his gaze.
"What?" Ryou finally found his voice,
and looked up at Bakura. "Did you want something?"
"Do I have to want something to be
able to stare at my hikari?" Bakura growled in a deep voice, not taking his
eyes off of Ryou for even a second.
"Well, no… it's just that you were
looking at me for a long time, so I figured that you might've wanted
something…" Ryou began to twiddle his thumbs together in embarrassment.
"You." Bakura said suddenly, leaning across
the table.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nothing can compare
To when you roll the dice and you
swear that your love's for me
Nothing can compare
To when you roll the dice and you swear that your love's for me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"N-nani?" Ryou gasped, fell off his
chair, and hit the floor with a small thud.
"You heard what I said." Bakura
appeared on the floor beside Ryou, and propped his head up with his elbow on
Ryou's chest.
"A-ano…" He blushed at the physical
contact between them both, and smiled innocently. "I think I misheard."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was crying over you
I am smiling I think of you
Misty mornings and water falls
Breathe in the air if you care, you compare, don't say farewell
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You." Bakura leaned closer to his
face, and smirked. "I want you." He traced a line down Ryou's chest with his
index finger, causing shivers to run down Ryou's spine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nothing can compare
To when you roll
the dice and you swear your love's for me
Nothing can compare
To when you roll the dice and you swear your love's for me
Nothing can
compare
To when you roll the dice and you swear your love's for me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I-I don't understand." Ryou's cheeks
turned a dark shade of crimson as he looked into Bakura's eyes nervously, and
opened his mouth to continue. But he never got the words out, because Bakura
had seized the opportunity to cover Ryou's lips with his own, closing the small
gap that had separated the two.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Virtuous sensibility
Escape velocity
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When he pulled back, they both gasped
slightly for more air, and Ryou's eyes were wide with shock and surprise.
Noticing that they were still lying
down on the kitchen floor, Bakura jumped up to his feet, and dragged Ryou to
his feet as well. Bakura grabbed Ryou' arm, and led him upstairs and into
Ryou's room.
Ryou felt himself being pushed down
onto his bed, quite gently in fact, and didn't even struggle when Bakura pulled
him into a passionate kiss. In fact, he found himself kissing his Yami back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nothing can compare
To when you roll the dice and you swear your love's for me
Nothing can compare
To when you roll the dice and you swear your love's for me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It only took them both a few moments
to realise that somehow their shirts had been thrown down to the floor. Bakura
smirked as he climbed on top of his Ryou, and leaned his head closer and
closer to Ryou's.
"Mine…" Bakura whispered before his lips reached
Ryou's.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nothing can compare
To when you roll the dice and you swear your love's for me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
\ Aishiteru, 'kura-kun. \ Ryou
mumbled through their link.
/ Mine… / Was all Bakura replied
as their lips met once more, bringing each other into another passion filled
kiss. This time, full of love for each other.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Breathe in the air if you care, you compare, don't say
farewell
Nothing…
