A/N: Yay!! People do like my story!!! Huzzah!!
Bakura: Why the hell does everyone like Ai??!!
Ai: (does a victory sign) Because I rock!!!
Ryou: Yes, Ai is helping me a lot
Oh yeah and someone (Yami's girl I believe) wanted a lemon?
Bakura: O_O REALLY??!! YAYYYYY!!!
Ryou: -_- ah damn…
But sadly I can't write lemons very well….(cries) but, if someone wanted to say, write a chapter for me with the aforementioned lemon then…(coughcoughhinthint)
Bakura: You mean this chapter isn't the lemon??
Nope, sorry Kura-kun. Anyways, like usual I don't own Yu-gi-oh but if I did I'd be rich and living on an island.
Ryou: ON WITH THE FIC!!!!
Ai squealed with delight and clapped her hands. Ryou groaned and shook his head as he stared at the barely clad goddess. It was the next morning and he had just finished telling Ai about Bakura's kiss. She was positively thrilled to hear it, though disappointed to learn that a phone call had ended the promising evening short.
"Oh, this is wonderful Ryou-kun!!" Ai cried as she hugged her friend. "I'm sorry that it ended early. Oh well, there's always next time!" Ai sat down on the bed next to Ryou and scooted close to him. "Sooo…how was it?"
"How was…the kiss?" Ryou asked slowly. Ai nodded, her eyes full of curiosity. "Well, it was…incredible. Bakura is amazing…he seriously stole my breath." Ai squealed again and sighed.
"Aw, don't want to go into detail with it huh? I understand, it's your guys happy moment, not mine but…" Ai frowned. "It's too bad that my job's not done yet. You're both not happy yet…"
"I'm happy." Ryou said quickly. "And Bakura seemed very happy!"
"Yeah but it's not pure bliss yet. If it was, then I would be able to leave but since I can't, well, then…" Ai hesitated and then said. "It means the kiss, while wonderful, was not pure. It means that even though you guys were both very happy to be kissing the other, one or maybe both of you, were in doubt."
"Doubt?" Ryou repeated. "Well, I was just kind of scared really. I mean, one day your yami is beating you and the next he's kissing you after promising not to hurt you?? It was just, too much at once I think."
"Well, don't put all the blame on yourself. I'm sure Bakura was hoping it would lead to a meeting in bed." Ai smiled mischievously. "Of course, a little aphrodisiac here and some here and I'm sure I could get you guys in bed easy…" Ryou raised an eyebrow and Ai laughed nervously. "Alone! Not in bed with me silly, you two! No threesome for me!" Ai laughed again and Ryou sighed.
"So now what then?" He asked. The Goddess gave him a smile and stood up.
"Now we pull out the big guns!" Benten said in a singsong way. She whipped out a manga from nowhere and cleared her throat. "Ahem, in this chapter we see the main character guy being bored so the girl takes him out to have fun because she just happens to have a ticket to this concert he wanted to go to." Ai closed the book and Ryou frowned.
"What, you want me to take Bakura to see Do As Infinity or something??" Ryou asked. Ai shook her head.
"No! Concerts are too noisy for beginning lovers. No, what we need is for you to take Bakura somewhere he'd like." Ai crossed her arms. "Now, what kind of a place would a 5000 year old thief like?"
"How am I supposed to know?" Ryou stood up and looked around his room, hoping an answer would pop out at him. "Maybe, I dunno…"
"Well, what kind of things does he like?" Ai asked. "I mean, you've lived with him for years!! You gotta know something!!"
"Well…" Ryou took a deep breath and thought about it. "He likes knives, raw meat, beating people up, yelling, fighting, killing, anything that has to do with stealing from others, millennium items, sending weak mortals to the shadow realm…"
"Well, then that's an easy date!" Ai grinned. "First, you
could take him to a shop that sells knives and stuff and then you could go get
sushi and then you could go killing with him!! It's so romantic I might just
cry!"
"You're nuts." Ryou frowned. "How about I just buy him a gift instead of taking him out?"
"Or do both!" Ai said. "You could just take him to a dagger shop and buy him a new one!"
"Hmm, buying my yami a weapon…" Ryou glared at her. "Do you want me to get stabbed?! It's like saying, 'Here Bakura, I noticed the last time you stabbed me that the blade's getting dull. I'll buy you a new one so you can stab me and cause more pain and blood!'"
"You're a very sarcastic kid." Ai scowled. "Fine, then what do you think we should do?"
"I don't know, I'm going to go get in the shower though." Ryou walked out of his room and went down the hall to the bathroom. Ai peaked her head out after him.
"Should I tell him Kura-kun's in there?" She wondered quietly. "Nahhh…" She went back in his room while Ryou walked in. To his horror (and much delight even if he wouldn't admit it), his yami stood there, completely naked. Bakura seemed to have been right in the middle of drying his hair with a towel and looked up in surprise.
"Morning Ryou." Bakura said, a smirk on his face. "I just got out of the shower as you may have noticed. What, did you want to take a shower with me?" Bakura paused and held back a laugh when he saw the look in Ryou's eyes. "Knock first before you go in a bathroom idiot."
"No, no I didn't knock...sorry. I don't want to shower with you…" Ryou said, trying very hard not to let his eyes wander over his dark half's handsome body. He had never really noticed how tone Bakura was. The man's whole body seemed to shine with a strange light and Ryou could only stare as his yami dried his hair. Ryou's eyes looked over the rest of his yami, noting that everything about his body was amazingly fit and dazzling.
"Aw, Ryou, you really did want to bath with me. Tell me next time. Then you and I could finish what we started last night. I'd like that." Bakura laughed and threw his towel at his light, who barely caught it.
"S-shouldn't you get dressed?" Ryou asked. Bakura pouted and waved a hand over his body.
"So are you saying my physique isn't up to your standards?" Bakura asked as he smiled at his speechless hikari.
"No, not at all! You look really…good…" Ryou managed to stop himself from saying 'you look so sexy I just want to jump on you and screw even if Ai is watching' since Bakura probably would pin him then to do the aforementioned screwing.
"Only good?" Bakura frowned. "You're so mean hikari. Now, go and make breakfast." Bakura turned away, thus allowing Ryou to get a good look at his backside before the light half decided to leave, shutting the door behind him. Ai stood in the hallway grinning.
"I told you there'd be nakedness!!" Ai sang as she snatched the towel from Ryou. "Now aren't you happy you got to see Kura's assets?" Ai giggled. "And his ass?"
"Ai, did you know he was in there?" Ryou asked, still staring at the bathroom door.
"Yes but hey, I figured it'd lead to you know, a shower together or something?" Ai sighed sadly. "If only you'd just took your clothes off, you could be in heaven right now instead of making breakfast."
"Oh hush." Ryou glared at her and stomped downstairs to the kitchen, his goddess right behind him.
"But really Ryou, I would be very very very happy if you two would make love." Ai said, her voice sounding a bit serious.
"Why do you want us to have sex so bad??" Ryou frowned as he roughly pulled out some cooking pans. He felt a tempted to hit Benten with one but decided against it. 'I feel like a fool…I just stood there and stared at him…but how could I not?! Those arms, his legs, his chest, his…it was so…' Ryou's thoughts drifted back to Bakura's body, at which point he hit himself with the frying pan. "Ouch…"
"I don't want you guys to have sex!" Ai's shoulder's sagged. "Making love is like, amazing!! It's a moment that, when shared by two people who are in love, is well…it's just…you know! I mean, even if you guys have a pure kiss, what's to say that it won't turn to lust once you guys are both in bed??"
"You worry too much." Ryou said, throwing some ingredients in the pan. "I mean, if the kiss is pure then the love is pure and so the sex would be pure."
"I guess…" Ai sighed and poured some juice for Ryou. "But I still wonder if I'm not involved in a hopeless case."
"I wonder that too…" Ryou heaved a sigh but inside, he was smiling. 'Still, the kiss was heaven for me and I know Bakura must feel that way too…or else he wouldn't have kissed me…right?'
Bakura pulled his shirt over his messy white head and looked himself over in the mirror. He really never had cared too much how he looked. Hell, in Egypt he's been famous for the giant scar across his face and he'd still been popular. Of course, it could have also been the fact that he was the best thief in Egypt but…yeah, that was probably it. Yet for some reason today, he did care how he looked. His silvery white hair was always in sharp spikes and he remembered Ryou once saying it made him look very fierce.
"That's not a bad thing though, is it?" He questioned his reflection. "I mean, I look good enough for Ryou right?" His mirror image said nothing to this. "And besides, why do I care what the weak mortal thinks of me? I mean, it's not like I really love him…" However, as he said these words, he felt a familiar pain in his heart. The pain that felt like a dagger being slowly pushed in. He grabbed his chest and bowed his head.
"If I don't love him then why does me chest hurt so much." Bakura looked down into the sink and sighed. Lately, he'd been going easy on Ryou. It'd been months since he'd stabbed the boy and even longer since he'd actually broken an arm or something. What had changed? 'Well, it's probably that idiot's influence. Marik and Malik look so happy together and hell, even the Pharaoh's getting some from that sugar happy midget. But Ryou and I…'
"Oh Ra, what the hell is wrong with me?!" Bakura cried as he banged his head on the lip on the sink repeatedly for every word he said. "Stupid weakness…stupid Ryou…stupid Pharaoh…stupid Ryou…stupid foolish weak little Ryou!" Bakura banged his head again for good measure, barely noticing the warm red liquid that was flowing down his face. It was with the final bang that the bathroom door flew open. Bakura turned his head to see his stupid foolish weak little Ryou panting in the doorway. Ryou rushed to his yami's side instantly.
"Bakura?! Are you ok?!" Ryou asked, his voice full of panic. "I heard a banging noise and I thought you might have fallen." Bakura stared at the boy. It was obvious that he'd run up here and it looked like he was scared. Scared of what? That something might have happened to his dark side? Wouldn't that have been a good thing?
"I'm fine." Bakura raised his head from the sink, his eyes now avoiding his hikari's worried ones. "I just slipped…" But Ryou shook his head, gently grabbing Bakura's face and pulling it near him. Bakura blinked and noticed that Ryou was examining him.
"No, you're not fine. That's a nasty gash on your head." Ryou let go of Bakura's face and started to rummage around for the first aid kit.
"Gash?" Bakura then noticed the blood dripping down his face. "Oh, I guess I did cut myself."
"Here, sit down on the toilet." Ryou said as he found the kit. Bakura did and stayed perfectly still as his light fixed the wound on his head. Ryou looked so scared the entire time, muttering under his breath about Bakura needing stitches and about blood loss and other such things. Bakura just looked off into space as Ryou tended to him. 'He's being so nice…I feel kinda bad…I think I just scared him pretty good.'
"I'm…s…sor…sorr…y. Sorry." Bakura flinched as he got the word out. He hated apologizing, it felt so stupid and made him feel so weak. Yet, with his Ryou looking so nervous, he felt he had to. Ryou paused briefly and then smiled.
"You must have hit your head even harder then I thought if you're saying sorry to me." Ryou grinned and Bakura returned his smile.
"Yeah, I must have knocked my brain cells out." He joked. The two laughed and Ryou gave a sigh of relief as he stood up.
"There, all done. You're fixed up now." Ryou smiled and held out his hand. "You can get up now." Bakura stood up, momentarily ignoring the outstretched hand. Ryou looked down sadly but Bakura then grabbed his light's hand.
"C'mon, I'm starving! Let's eat something!" Bakura said as he dragged Ryou to the kitchen. 'Damn, I'm being nice again…I really need to stop this.'
"So, what do you want to do today?" Ryou asked, washing the dishes from their breakfast. Bakura shrugged.
"I don't know…why, you feel like going out or something?" He questioned. Ryou nodded.
"Yeah, kind of." The two remained silent for a while longer until the doorbell rang. Ryou gave Bakura a look as it rang another time.
"Fine! I'll get it…" Bakura grumbled as he left the table and opened the front door. Instantly a hiss escaped his mouth. "Pharaoh!" He shouted.
"Tomb robber." Yami yawned and rubbed his eyes. "I'm not in the mood for your childish games today." Suddenly, Yugi and Malik pushed past Yami grinning stupidly.
"Hiya Bakura!" They sang in unison. "Is Ryou home?!" Bakura's ears rang and he pointed towards the kitchen. The two ran off and Marik walked forward.
"Well hello Bakura." Marik grinned. "How've you been?"
"Fine." Bakura glared at both men. "What the hell are you two staring at?!"
"Your head." Marik pointed to the wrappings around the gash. Bakura sighed.
"I hit my head on the sink, Ryou fixed it though." Marik and Yami stepped inside the house and Marik smirked.
"Did he seal it with a kiss?" Marik asked, his body shaking with laughter. "Did wittle Ryou make Kura's boo-boo all better?"
"Shut up Marik!!" Bakura roared. Yami looked at Marik and the two burst out laughing.
"I take that as a yes." Yami grinned as Bakura grabbed him by the collar and slammed him against the wall.
"Listen Pharaoh! Don't piss me off today! You think there's something funny about Ryou fixing my head?! You think he's weak is that it?! You're laughing at him aren't you?" Bakura growled and his face grew so close to Yami's that their noses were touching. His voice grew very deadly too as he spoke. "Don't…laugh…at…my…Ryou. He just didn't want me to bleed all over the place ok?! Back the fuck off!!"
"Oh-ho! Looks like someone's getting mad." Marik laughed and patted Bakura on the head, earning himself a glare. "My Ryou eh? Hmm, my, that's possessive."
"I'm not laughing at your hikari, I'm laughing at you." Yami said coolly. "You're so weak, can't even admit that your hikari made you feel better. Can't admit to what you feel inside. It's so pathetic." Bakura was about ready to strangle Yami when the three hikari's came out of the kitchen giggling. Bakura let go of the man and turned away, his left eye twitching. Marik howled with laughter and Yami snickered quietly.
"Huh, what's going on?" Ryou frowned, looking at the yami's. Bakura looked especially pissed off.
"Nothing!" Bakura snapped as he stormed over to the couch and sat down. Ryou watched his yami with a worried eye but Malik giggled and held out a pile of dvds before anyone can say a thing.
"Hey Ryou! We all came over to watch these movies with you and Bakura!!" Malik grinned and handed the movies to Ryou. "They're really good, Marik doesn't like them but you and Yami and Bakura and Yugi haven't seen them yet so we'll all watch it here!"
"I think they're stupid movies." Marik sighed and pulled a giggling Malik to him. "But whatever my hikari wants, my hikari gets." Marik grinned at his light. "Isn't that right?" They looked into each other's eyes before engaging in a passionate kiss. The two then began a make-out session against Ryou's wall. Yami rolled his eyes and pulled Yugi over to the smaller couch. Ryou decided to leave the two alone and, after putting the movie in, sat next to his still angry yami.
"Oh, oh!" Malik moaned and pulled away from Marik. "Movie time!! I'll get popcorn!" Malik ran off and Marik frowned.
"Ah damn, no sex for me right now…" Marik sat in a chair by Bakura.
"Damn right no sex!!" Bakura glared at him. "You're not going to do that shit in my house!"
"But it's Ryou's house and I bet you do it with him all the time." Marik pouted. Ryou blushed deeply and Bakura snarled at his friend. Marik laughed. "Sorry, sorry, your personal life right? Sorry."
"Anyways, let's just watch the movie." Ryou muttered as he unconsciously moved closer to Bakura. Ryou rested his head on Bakura's shoulder and the yami smiled and put an arm around the boy. Ai, who was sitting at the top of the stairs, smiled at the scene.
"Yay, Ryou's leaning on Bakura and Bakura looks happy!! Yes, score one for the 'Goddess Movie Night' plan." Ai grinned proudly. "Damn I'm good."
Later, after the movie was over, it was decided that everyone would spend the night. Malik and Marik took Bakura's room and Yami and Yugi took Ryou's room. This left the owners of the house to sleep on the couch.
"Ok, so…" Ryou looked at his yami, then the couch. "Who sleeps on it?"
"I do of course!" Bakura grinned and flopped down on the sofa. Ryou sighed and looked around for a place to sleep. Seeing none that would be comfortable, he just decided to sleep on the floor. He laid down and was about to fall asleep when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
Ryou?
Bakura?
You're still up?
Yeah, why?
Why can't you sleep?
I don't know… 'Probably because the floor is hard and cold and not at all good for sleeping on'
It is? Then why are you sleeping on it?
Oh, you heard me…well, I'm sleeping on it because there's no where else to sleep.
…well, you could sleep up here.
…what?
Well, I mean, if you don't get enough sleep then you'll be dragging ass tomorrow and then you'll burn dinner or something like that so I need to make sure you sleep good.
Is there room?
Err… Bakura frowned and pushed himself against the back of the couch, making a space for his delicate hikari. Now there is! Ryou rolled over and stared at Bakura. He was being so nice lately…was this Ai's doing? Ryou then shrugged and crawled over to the sofa. He laid down on the very edge, trying to give Bakura some more room.
"There, do you still have enough room?" Ryou asked, turning over on his side to create even more space. An arm collapsed over his stomach and pulled him closer to Bakura.
"Yeah, don't worry, I've got enough room." Bakura buried his face into Ryou's hair smiling. It smelled nice and was so soft, like silk. "Your hair makes a good pillow." Ryou blushed at this but didn't say anything; until finally he knew what to say or rather, ask.
Yami?
Yes Ryou?
You asked me why I was being nice yesterday. Well…why are you being nice to me?
So I'm not allowed to make my hikari happy once in awhile?
…You want me happy?
Did I say that?
Err, umm…uh…well…
(sigh) Just go to sleep Ryou
Um, right, good night Bakura
Night my Ryou Ryou's eyes reopened and he almost questioned his yami again but decided, wisely, against it. Instead, he wanted to enjoy this moment. This one chance to be with Bakura like this. It felt strangely pleasant to have Bakura's body curled up into his. Ryou smiled sadly as he closed his eyes. 'I hope he's like this tomorrow too…if only to prove this hasn't all been some sort of beautiful dream.' However, unknown to Ryou, Bakura had heard every word of his thought.
"I'll try." He whispered quietly so his light wouldn't hear, pulling him in tighter. "I really will."
A/N: Bakura:…..ok, from this point I could even make a lemon!!!
Ryou:…why do you want a lemon so bad??!
Bakura: I'm just speaking for the fans.
Ryou: My ass hurts just thinking about lemons and limes and all that.
Bakura: That's the point! Pain and pleasure! ^_^
Ryou:…..(hides)
Kaley: Anyways, next chapter we'll see if Kura-kun can keep good on his promise to try, especially after what happens to Ryou next chapter…
Ryou: Wha, what a minute!!!
Bakura: Don't hurt Ryou!!
Kaley: ^_^ maybe! See ya next chapter!
Bakura: Review and tell her not to hurt my Ryou!
