Chapter 4 : And Looked So Sad...
Ryou glanced down at the lab manual before glancing over the equipment and then back to the manual. Bakura raised an eyebrow at his partner's antics. "Do you even know what the hell you're doing?"
Ryou blushed. "Well.. n-no. Not really," he stammered. Bakura sighed and put his heads in his arms, fully ready to fall asleep. A light poke in the ribs caused him to start up. "H-hey! Aren't you going to help?"
"Oy..." muttered Bakura. He turned back to the other boy,
"Help...? What do you expect me to do? It's not like I know how to do this."
Ryou glanced at him feeling a bit braver, "Well," he started "you could at least try." Bakura took one look at Ryou, who had his arms folded across his chest and snorted. Ryou bit his lip. Bakura put his head back down. Moments later he felt the effects of a particulary heavy volumetric flask against the back of his skull.
"Why you little..." he growled. Ryou whistled. Ms. Takagawa snickered from across the room. Bakura sulked. "Whaddya want?" he mumbled crabbily. Ms. Takagawa watched. This would prove to be very interesting.
"Well... for starters you could fill this beaker with distilled water," Ryou ordered. Bakura blanched but said nothing. The distilled water was next to Aeris' group table. He flinched and got up. Reno giggled into Rufus' neck. They had finished quite awhile ago and were now sitting on the same chair, watching the scenario.
"I never thought anyone had enough nerve to hit Bakura with a volumetric flask..." murmured Rufus, absently resting his chin on Reno's head.
"Mmhmm...he seems to have come out a little. That's good. He likes Bakura." Reno commented, grinning slyly. "The dance is in a few weeks. We should err... put the pressure so to speak."
Rufus nodded, absently tracing his long fingers along the side of Reno's neck. "Err... how about taking a break from your studying tonight?" he murmured, breathing into Reno's ear.
Reno shook his head. "I don't know. I'm a few days behind in the Calculus textbook."
Rufus snorted, "and I'm a month behind in Trig, who cares? I'm so close to topping Kaiba off the stock charts. Celebrate a bit!"
Reno bit his lip. "I don't know..."
Rufus glared, "Tell ya what, if you come over then we can study a bit and you can give me extra tutoring, how that sound?"
"That sound mighty good." Replied Reno, wriggling around in Rufus' lap.
Rufus took a deep breath. Reno was making self-control so hard to practice. His eyes darted back to the lithe form of Bakura, attempting to inconspicuously slip past Aeris' table. He placed his hands on Reno's waist. "Watch."
"Breathe in. Breathe out." Bakura felt his heart pounding as he took one step at a time closer to the bottle of distilled water, getting a little too close to Aeris for comfort. His hands trembled and Ryou watched curiously as the beaker shook precariously in Bakura's shaking fingers. Reluctantly, Bakura controlled his nerves and stalked all the way to the bottle without so much as a glance in Aeris' direction.
Ms. Takagawa sighed. Something bad was about to happen. She could feel it in her bones. She knew that she shouldn't have put Aeris so close to the distilled water, then again she never expected Bakura to do any work.
Aeris giggled, waving her hand girlishly. She brushed her brown locks carefully behind one ear, and batted her eyelashes in Bakura's direction.
Bakura resisted the initial urge to vomit. He steeled himself and walked right past her. Aeris bit her lip. Ms. Takagawa raised an eyebrow. Reno and Rufus gasped. Ryou poured the hydrochloric acid into a buret. And the beaker would live to see another day.
Ms. Takagawa slouched back into her chair. Today was a very interesting day. She held up the latest stack of test grades. There was only two people passing the class. One was because he only had two grades, and the other well, she didn't know about Reno Sinclair. Ms. Takagawa groaned, "Why do I always get stuck with the dumb shit students," she muttered as she heard glass breaking in the background, "Great, there goes another ten dollars outta my already skimpy paycheck."
She sighed as she looked up, "And Bakura was doing so well today with not breaking anything." Aeris stood in the corner of the room, holding a broken volumetric flask, with tears streaming down her face.
"BAKURA?!" she cried. "Why?" she asked, frustrated tears streaming from her emerald eyes, before running out of the room. Ms. Takagawa sighed, shaking her head as she got up to go after the crying girl.
Ryou flinched, his chocolate orbs narrowing in concern. "Bakura? What did you do?"
Bakura shrugged. "What does it matter?"
Ryou glared at him. "Insensitive bastard." He spat out.
"You don't know anything, so shut up you little shit." Bakura shot back.
Ryou felt tears sting the corners of his eyes. Furious, he turned back to the lab and refused to talk to Bakura for the rest of the period.
Bakura served his detention in utter silence, his head in his arms. "I won't care," he muttered, "I don't care. I don't care about anything. Bakura doesn't care about anyone." He sneered, "No one's ever cared about me, so why should I give a damn about anyone else?" The room was still.
Kouji-sensei glared. "Thinking a little too loudly, Bakura? You know that you could work on homework."
Bakura didn't bother to lift his head. "Whatever."
Kouji-sensei sighed, "You don't understand the world Bakura, you are trapped in your little universe. Go. I don't want to deal with you right now." Kouji-sensei rubbed her forehead. "Get out of my sight, NOW."
Bakura grabbed his pack and slung it over his shoulder before slouching out of the room.
Tears ran down Kouji-sensei's face as she picked at pieces of paper on her desk. "Did I fail?" she asked miserably. She opened her desk and took out a picture. "I'm sorry Anabela. I can't deal with it. I can't deal with your son." Kouji-sensei's sobs filled the classroom as her tears fell onto the picture frame.
Bakura turned the corner of the hallway, expecting to see Malik. His eyes met with an empty corridor. "Shit." He muttered. "Forgot that he was out on a date." He turned and walked away, his hands in his pockets, staring at the floor.
"B-Bakura?" he heard a small voice whisper.
"What?" he growled, turning around.
Aeris stood in the middle of the hallway, her hands behind her back. "I'm sorry. For everything," she let out a deep breath, "for bothering you, for shouting your name, for annoying you."
Bakura arched a slender eyebrow before snorting, "So?"
"Ryou is sad too. Everyone is sad." Aeris glanced at him, eyes full of defiance.
"And I'm supposed to solve all that?" Bakura turned to leave.
"No, but you could care. The world doesn't revolve around you. There's other people that care about you, even when you don't care." Aeris cried.
"Hah." Bakura let out a short laugh, cutting it off abruptly as he turned around. "I could care? They care? What the fuck are you talking about little girl? Do you understand me? Do you care about me?" Aeris' resolve flickered slightly in her eyes. "You and that bitch Anzu sure showed a lot to my friend Malik, and you expect me to care about you, just because you came up and spouted out some friendship shit? And Ryou? You think I give a shit what that little brat thinks?"
Aeris watched Bakura's movements through slit eyes. "I'm sorry. We all are. We're sorry for messing with your PERFECT life. I'm sorry, we're all sorry, sorry for existing." She snorted. "No wonder you don't have any friends. Ryou-kun was looking for you. He seemed upset that he got mad at you in Biology. If you give a shit."
Bakura shifted from one foot to the other. "And what I'm supposed to do?"
"Hear him out?" she gritted through clenched teeth. "I swear, Bakura, you don't know any of the decent things to do."
Bakura glared at her, "Decent? Coming from stalker girl here."
Aeris opened her mouth to shoot back a foul reply, before curving her lips into a smile, "Sorry sweet, but I've got bigger fish to fry."
Bakura nonchalantly moved towards the entrance of the school. Aeris made a disapproving clicking noise in the back of her throat. Bakura turned around, "Why the hell won't you leave me alone?"
Aeris batted her eyebrows again, "Cuz I just love you so much Bakura-kun!"
Bakura glanced at her, "Are you suffering from Bipolar Disorder?"
Aeris' voice deadpanned. "No. I just had to get your attention. He's in the cafeteria right now- Ryou that is."
Bakura snorted, "Like hell I'm going to the cafeteria. I'm going home."
Aeris laughed, "Oh really?" She whistled, and two girl's rushed behind Bakura from the corner of the school. Before he knew anything, his pants had already hit the floor. Aeris grinned and held up a little camera. Flash. "Now, what do you say?" Flash.
Bakura gritted his teeth. "Where is the cafeteria?" he asked, defeated.
Aeris grinned before pointing to her left. Bakura humphed and stalked away. Aeris laughed and whispered, "Debt paid."
Bakura stalked down the empty hallways of Domino High. The polished floors reflected his scowl as he unhappily though aloud. "Today just HAD to be there day that I wore heart boxers." He shuddered at the thought of a certain picture making its way around school. "Why couldn't I have worn normal boxers? Oh Ra hates me." Bakura muttered and made a left turn into the cafeteria.
The cafeteria at Domino High was a particulary large one, it also doubled for mass test taking. Bakura scrunched his face. Standardized testing sucked- he shivered at the thought and looked around, eager to get out of school. In a corner, a small albino boy lay curled. Bakura sighed and walked to Ryou's sleeping form. Bending down, he lifted the boy's head up. "Hnnh.." he muttered. Ryou was awfully cute...
Ryou shifted his head "Kura..." he breathed. "Unnh. Kura..."
Bakura flushed a hot red listening to Ryou's soft moans. "This was not supposed to happen." He whispered to no one in particular, "Anzu, you fucking liar. I'm gonna kill you for this."
Ryou reached out, and clutched onto Bakura's shirt, yanking him towards his body. "Don leave Kura... please don't leave me." He whispered, eyelids tightening.
Bakura sighed and placed his hand on Ryou's hair, running it through the soft pale locks.
