Chapter 12: Memories

As Ryou walked home with Bakura and Baz, he had to walk in between them so they wouldn't stop in the middle of the sidewalk and start to make out.

"Hikari, move."

"Iie."

"Ryou, move your scrawny little ass."

"Make me, you cunt."

"Do you really want me to?"

"You won't like the results."

"AAH!"

Ryou swiftly moved to the side of the walk, not wanting to be the victim of something horrible. Baz and Bakura ran the rest of the way home, making out at the red lights and only went when Ryou prodded them both in the back to go.

Once the three were at Ryou and Bakura's house, Baz walked inside and leaned against a wall, slightly fidgeting.

A full-blown grin on his face, Bakura wondered over to Baz and gently stroked his hair, brushing it away from his eyes. Baz closed his eyes in pleasure, his whole soul lighting up when he felt a pair of warm lips over his own. When the warmness went poof, Baz opened his eyes in sheer joy, for he had totally forgotten about the incident at Yugi's house until that point.

When he opened his eyes, his was slightly disappointed... Bakura had gone back into the ring.

Well, Ryou probably forced him back in there because the next thing Baz knew Ryou had that look in his eyes again, that same look from the lap dance.

The look with lust hidden in those peepers.

Ryou merely brushed this look off, because Baz had headed towards the stairs. "I'm going to go take a bath, I need to clean up."

Ryou quickly caught on to his flirtatious words, because he swiftly walked over to Baz and kissed him, his body brushing up and grinding against Baz's, Ryou using his whole body to kiss. As Baz walked awkwardly walked up the stairs, Ryou walked with him, and Ryou softly moaned as Baz deepened the kiss en route.

Ryou broke the kiss as he headed off to his own room. "Have a nice soak."

What would you do if every time you fell in love you had to say good-
bye?

If I knew it would be the last time

I would be there to share your day,

Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,

So I can let just this one slip away

As Baz moaned softly as he slid into the bathtub, his cares floating away, he decided to think about that day and before then.

He didn't know what had possessed him to kiss Bakura, he just felt that is what right. He began to think about a few years ago, and those few words he had spoken with Ryou before they forced themselves to take separate ways.

Flashback

Silent tears ran down Ryou's cheeks as he saw his beloved Baz packing, for the family was moving.

"C-Can't y-you s-s-stay wi-with us, my family, I mean?" Ryou choked out. "I don't want you to go!"

Baz merely smiled. "Ryou-chan, you know I can't stay. I really wish I could, but I can't. Bakura-"

Angry tears now flew out of Ryou's eyes. "Bakura, Bakura, BAKURA! THAT'S ALL I HEAR ANYMORE!" His voice dropped to a sound a little louder than a whisper. "Maybe... you would be happier with him, is that it?"

Baz's eyes widened in shock. "Ryou, why are you doing this?"

Ryou merely flew out of the room, mixed tears of hatred, love and sorrow coming down now. "Good-bye, Baz."

Ryou didn't even hear the "Aishiteru, Ryou," muttered from Baz's lips.

End Flashback

Baz shuddered that this memory. He never had wanted it to happen, and now that he was back, he had never wanted to remember it. But now, the memory haunted him like it was yesterday.

As he reached for a bottle of body wash and a pouf and moved to the middle of the bath, Baz tried to push these thoughts out of his head and concentrate more on the present. The wonderful fact that now he was back with Ryou, and Ryou was happy with it. 'Maybe,' Baz thought, 'he forgot about it. I don't want to make him remember it as well as I do.' Baz groaned as he could wash everything, but his back, which was the dirtiest. As he turned awkwardly, he sighed in defeat and jumped when he heard a smooth voice behind him. "Need some help?"

He leaned back and looked up at big brown doe-like eyes, which were shining with happiness. He looked down and quickly turned his head, blushing furiously when he saw what Ryou was wearing... nothing.

As Ryou slid in behind Baz, reaching for the pouf and going in small circles around Baz's back, Baz felt utterly happy... he didn't have a reason not to.

As he gently began massage away the stiff muscles, Ryou moaned inwardly as Baz slid back and layed against Ryou. Ryou kissed the tips of Baz's beautifully dark hair, smiling slightly when he felt Baz push aside Ryou's legs and slide all the way up to Ryou, Ryou's member pounding for the sweet seed to be let loose somewhere.

As Baz sat up, smirking widely, he stood up and stretched, yawning through the smirk. He looked down at Ryou and said, "Well, I'm done, how about you?"

Ryou stood up in front of his old love and pulled him close, whispering "Not with you," as they went back down with a crash.

Ryou had closed the gap in between their lips, and he could feel Baz physically relax under his lips as he could before, down in the living room. As a tongue prodded at his lips, Baz conceded quickly and Ryou's tongue dipped into his mouth, tasting faintly of pizza they had had at the party.

As Ryou broke the kiss for air, he stepped out of the bath. "I'm done now," he laughed as he dried himself and walked out of the bathroom.

While Baz dried himself, the brown-haired boy constantly thought about what Bakura would do about this little situation. He then remembered what had happened earlier - no, what had almost happened earlier in Yugi and Yami's bedroom. A smile spread across Baz's face as he dressed in some pajamas, courtesy of Ryou.

As Baz walked out of the bathroom and looked around for either the kitchen or Ryou's bedroom which he thought the boy had gone, he had the creeping suspicion that he was being followed. He sharply took a corner and stepped to the side, looking behind him and smirking at who it was. He wasn't very surprised that Bakura had been following him, he was just shocked that the tomb robber hadn't said anything to him.

Continuing to walk toward what he thought was the kitchen, he walked through the doors which swung back into place. He circled it and walked back into the living room, just walking past Bakura and stopping when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Hai?" Baz questioned.

Bakura snickered. "I'm surprised you didn't go into my hikari's room."

Baz laughed. "To tell you the truth, I had not the foggiest idea where it was. Mind helping me, or is that below you?"

Bakura turned to face Baz fully. Planting a small and chaste kiss on Baz's lips, he turned Baz around and whispered, "Close your eyes."

As Baz did as directed, he felt Bakura slightly push Baz in the direction of the stairs they had just gone down. Bakura urged Baz up the stairs, his eyes still closed, and gently caressed Baz's back as he did so. As they stopped at Ryou's door, Bakura turned Baz around and kissed him deeply, his teeth nipping at the corners of Baz's mouth softly.

Bakura turned the handle into Ryou's room, his lips still locked tightly onto Baz's, and led him over to the edge of Ryou's bed. As Baz set himself down, being careful not to sit on Ryou and expecting Bakura to sit down and straddle him, he was slightly disappointed when he felt the warmth of the tomb robber's lips on his fade away. Opening his eyes and gazing them over to the Millenium Ring, he saw that it was slightly glowing, probably from the spirit that just went inside of it.

If I knew it would be the last time

That I'd see you fall asleep,

I would tuck you in more tightly

And pray the Lord, your soul to keep

As Baz turned and saw Ryou slowly breathing in and out, he planted a gentle kiss on Ryou's forehead as he crawled into Ryou's bed, smirking slightly when Ryou's arms eventually latched tightly around Baz's chest.
