Eventine: Okay guys, an all new chapter. This one seems kind of abrupt to me, but I am tired, and should have been in bed an hour ago, but had to post this. So yeah, hopefully you will enjoy.
DISCLAIMER: Nothings belongs to pitiful me.
She crept towards the door, her curiosity getting the better of her. She slowly eased it open, though just a crack, at let a surprised squeal at what she saw.
Yuugi Moto and Ryou Bakura quickly backed away from each other, but the damage had already been done. Shizuka's eyes were still wide as she took note of their tousled hair and slightly flushed faces.
Ryou scuffed at the white tile floor nervously. "It's -uh- not what you think?" He murmured, glancing up briefly. Yuugi snickered and pulled the smaller boy towards him. "It's alright, she won't care." He affirmed in a low tone, nipping the blonds ear affectionately. "Right Shizuka? You're like us. You don't care that Ryou is my boyfriend do you?" Yuugi's amethyst eyes were wide and pleading. Shizuka laughed lightly. "God no, I'm actually not surprised at all. Although I would think you're common sense would inform you how stupid it is to meet for mid-morning make-out sessions in the closet." She smiled brightly.
Yuugi grinned back. "I'm glad you understand Shizuka, though you are probably right, and we really should be getting back to class." Ryou flashed her a final bashful grin after kissing his boyfriend good-bye and left; Yuugi followed a few moments later. Shizuka was the last to exit, her head swimming the all the changes that had occured lately.
She followed the hallway until she reached a cobalt door, which clearly declared that it was the girls restroom. She entered rather tentatively, knowing she was more than a little late, but was relieved to find Anzu sitting, legs crossed, on a sink with Mai standing close by.
"What took you?" Was Mai's greeting, looking slightly perturbed, though Anzu was beaming beside her. "I, uh, found the most interesting distraction in a closet on the way here." She explained, without giving too much away. Mai shrugged and said, "Have things improved at all?"
Shizuka shook her head. "No, not really, at least not before today. Jounouchi still won't talk to me unless he has to, and people here still look at me funny. Though I do have more friends that I thought I did." She smiled at Mai.
"Well, at least some things are better. I really can't see why everyone is giving you so much shit though. I mean honestly, what's the big deal? Double your pleasure, double your fun is what I always say."
Shizuka laughed, Mai always did have an interesting way of looking at things.
"Now," Mai continued, "How about this evening, you and Anzu meet me and some of my alternative friends at the pizza place for dinner. That way, you can meet more people who relate to you."
"That would be awesome." She replied.
Anzu spoke up, "We should probably go soon guys, the bell is about to ring."
Shizuka looked at her watch, realizing Anzu was right. She had been gone nearly 40 minutes. She quickly bid the both of them goodbye, and headed back to class. The image of Yuugi and Ryou, wrapped in each others arms kissing passionately replayed in her mind the entire way back. She smiled at how shy Ryou was, and how adorable they had both looked when they realized someone had seen them, their eyes wide with shock.
Her teacher glared at her as she entered, pointed to the assignments on the board, and, as the bell rang, warned her that next time she was gone so long she would receive detention.
'I would gladly attend detention, if I it meant I would have another morning like this one.' She thought merrily, smiling as she collected her books from her locker. Her glee quickly faded though, as she caught sight of Ryouji Otogi and her brother, clearly in a heated argument.
"You little fucker, TAKE THAT BACK!" Jounouchi bellowed, so loud that even the teachers poked their heads out.
Eventine: Short, I know, and I promise that this will not be the last we see of Yuugi and Ryou. Please review, but keep in mind all flames will be used purely to entertain pyromanical me with the pretty dancing light.
