Bakura looked briefly over his shoulder to where Kaiba was ignoring the classwork before blushing and looking back down at his paper, feeling foolish. He could hear Yuugi trying hard not to laugh and blushed more. He knew he was being silly, but...
He looked over at Kaiba again, then ducked his head back once more. 'I'm so pathetic...' he lamented, near hiding behind his books.
The next time he looked up, Kaiba caught his eye and raised a brow in amusement.
Bakura's face went bright red and he hid behind his book again.
"Is something the matter, Bakura-san?"
"N--no," Bakura assured swiftly, trying hard to ignore the light laughter aimed his direction.
The teacher peered down at him. "Your face is all red," he observed. "Go down to the nurse and have her check to see if you have a fever. Will someone help Bakura-san to the nurses?" he asked the class as Bakura nearly died from embarrassment.
Kaiba's book shut with a snap. "I will," he said with finality.
Bakura's eyes went wide and he looked at the boy again.
"Thank you, Kaiba-san. Everyone else, open your English books to page 146. Jounouchi-san, since you think Bakura-san's condition is so amusing, please start reading at the top of the page."
Slowly Bakura rose to his feet, mind whirling with questions as he headed for the classroom door.
Kaiba followed. "What were you thinking?" he asked as soon as the door was closed. "Did you think no one would notice?"
Bakura looked down, shoulders slumping. "I'm sorry..." he apologized softly, trying hard not to fidget.
"Managing to do decently well at chess is no reason to look at me as if I were your dessert for lunch," the brunette said coldly.
Bakura flinched. "I-- I wasn't-- I wasn't think of you like that!" he protested. "I-- I just...." he trailed off, unsure how to finish his sentence in a way that wouldn't get Kaiba even more angry at him.
"You just wished another kiss," the young CEO finished for him.
Bakura gave a small nod, feeling slightly ashamed and embarrassed.
Kaiba sighed, then pinned Bakura to the wall, kissing him deeply.
The paler boy's eyes went wide in surprise before he melted into the kiss, eyes closing in bliss as he relaxed.
As abruptly as the kiss had begun, it ended, Kaiba pulling away from Bakura. "And now?"
Bakura tried to calm himself, forcing his breath to slow back to normal as he looked up at the taller boy in amazement and awe.
"Well?" Kaiba demanded.
"You kiss as well as you play chess," Bakura said without thinking. He blushed brightly in embarrassment, looking down again.
Kaiba smirked. "Is that your answer?"
Bakura gave a small embarrassed smile and nodded. "You're amazing..." he said softly.
"At everything," Kaiba said with satisfaction. "Will you now leave me alone? Or do you wish more?"
"Did-- did you want me to leave you alone...?" Bakura asked, hopping the answer would be no.
Kaiba raised a brow. "Would you?"
Bakura looked down, feeling ashamed. "Sorry... If-- if you want me to, I will, I just---" he fidgeted slightly. "I like you," he said softly.
"You like other people too," Kaiba pointed out, looking for clarification.
Bakura blushed slightly. "Not like this."
"'This?'"
The paler boy fidgeted again. "I-- I like you... in-- in that way..." he admitted with a blush.
"And if I don't feel the same?"
"If you don't, I'll leave you alone," Bakura promised. "I-- I just hope you'll give me a chance..." he said softly.
Kaiba snorted. He opened the door to the classroom. "The nurse said he should go home," he said flatly. "I'm taking him." He closed the door again and looked at Bakura.
The boy looked back at him, slightly nervous. "I-- I should get my books," he said softly.
"You can get them later. Someone will take them for you."
Bakura nodded. Hesitated briefly, he turned, starting to walk towards the school's entrance.
Kaiba followed, watching him predatorially.
Bakura bit his lip slightly, wondering what he had just gotten himself into, feeling Kaiba's eyes on him as he slid into his shoes. Taking a deep breath he looked at the taller boy, waiting for him to say where they were going.
Kaiba merely strode out of the building and started down the street, knowing that Bakura would follow.
The pale haired boy had to walk quickly to keep up with Kaiba's long strides.
After a few blocks they were met by a car. Kaiba opened one of the doors and motioned Bakura into the back.
Hesitating slightly, Bakura slid inside, hands folding tightly in his lap as he sat down.
Kaiba shut the door with a bang and said a few words to the driver, then leaned predatorially over Bakura, eyes glinting.
The boy tried his best not to cower as he met the taller boy's eyes, heart beating rapidly.
Kaiba smirked at the reaction and leaned closer.
Bakura's breath quickened as his body reacted. Quickly he shifted his hands to cover it and prayed that Kaiba hadn't noticed.
Kaiba's smirk widened and he continued leaning closer, pinning Bakura to the seat.
The paler boy's eyes went wide as his heart raced.
As he leaned, Kaiba's hand reached down to the side of the seat. With a quick movement, he pulled the lever that adjusted the angle of the seat, causing it to recline quickly.
Bakura gave a small surprised squeak as he fell back. "Ka--Kaiba-kun...!" he exclaimed shakily.
"Yes?" Kaiba purred, practically straddling him
Bakura flushing slightly. "You're-- you're going a bit-- a bit fast," he stammered.
"Very well," Kaiba said in his usual brusque manner, pulling away to sit in the other seat.
Bakura lay there a moment, trying to get his breath and body under control. Slowly, he sat up, adjusting the seat again. 'He's playing with me....' he though with a sigh as he tried to adjust his uniform to cover the results of Kaiba's play.
Kaiba glanced at him. "So you say this is not what you wanted?"
"It's not that, it's just..." Bakura hesitated a moment. "I've never... I mean, I--" he blushed slightly, fidgeting. "Yesterday was my first kiss and I've never done anything like this before. It-- it's nice, but-- it's too much too fast," he admitted.
"So you want sex but not yet?" Kaiba said with asperity.
Bakura looked at him, expression hurt. "You think that's what this is all about...?"
"It isn't?" Kaiba asked without interest, looking out the window.
Bakura gave a sigh. "You've never liked anyone before, have you, Kaiba-kun...." He looked back at his lap.
Kaiba snorted. "So you want to have sex with Yuugi and the stupid puppy too?"
"This isn't about sex!" Bakura insisted strongly. "And I don't like Jounouchi-kun that way," he added in a near mumble.
"Then what is it about?"
"It's about... wanting to be near someone you like, wanting to get to know them better," the paler boy said softly.
"Then go 'be near' your friends and leave me out of it," Kaiba said.
"It isn't the same like, Kaiba-kun," Bakura corrected, shoulders slumped.
"You needlessly complicate your words," Kaiba said with disdain. "Say what you mean already."
"Why did you kiss me?" Bakura asked, looking up.
"You wanted it and it seemed amusing at the time," Kaiba said in an offhand manner.
"Is that also why you took me out of class?" Bakura asked, feeling a mild depression set in.
"You obviously couldn't be trusted in a setting with others, so I took you out."
Bakura blinked. "Trusted...?" he repeated.
"Do you think your 'friends' were the only ones aware of the fact that you were looking at me?"
The shorter boy near grimaced. "Sorry..." he apologized, looking back down at his lap. "Sorry I caused you any inconvenience," he said, tone mildly bitter as he turned to look out the window.
Kaiba snapped his fingers and the car slowed to a stop. "If there's nothing more, you may go."
Silently, Bakura opened the door and exited. He hesitated a moment, not recognizing where he was, but still closed the door behind him, starting to walk in the direction that the limo had come from.
The car started again, quickly leaving Bakura behind.
He looked over at Kaiba again, then ducked his head back once more. 'I'm so pathetic...' he lamented, near hiding behind his books.
