Just Tonight

BOOOOOOOOM!

Ryou yelped, and dove under the covers at the loud sound, quaking under the blanket with fear. He winced, and shut his eyes, hearing the same noise once again, but even louder than before.

"I hate thunder storms." He whimpered, knowing how pathetic he sounded at the moment. "Especially during the night."

Storms had always been one of the hikari's greatest fears. Whenever one happened, you would find him taking cover under some object faster than you could imagine. Ryou cringed and snuggled further into his comfortable bed. How he wished his yami were here right now. Ryou sighed wistfully. But, that would never happen. Bakura only talked to Ryou if he was hungry, in a bad mood or if he wanted something that only Ryou could get for him.

BOOM! CRASH! BANG! (Taski: *smashing pots and pans together for backround noises* ^__^ Chibi B: -_-..)

The frightened light squeaked as the lights in his room flickered, before shutting off completely. He sat there, silently, paralyzed with fear, until...

"RYOU! WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DAMN LIGHTS?!"

He sighed yet again, and regretfully stood out from underneath the safety of his blankets. Feeling his way towards the door to his room, he opened it up and stumbled out into his hallway.

"RYOOOUUUU!!"

"I'm coming!" Ryou called back, muttering obscenities under his breath. He slowly made his way down the stairs and to his garage, looking for some candles and flashlights. Finding them, he gave a soft grunt of proud accomplishment before he heard another bang of thunder outside. He cried out and shot back into his house, panting.

"Ra damn it Ryou! Where the hell are you?" Bakura shouted angrily, clearly frustrated with how long his hikari was taking. Unable to see where he was walking, he ran right into his unsuspecting light who was huddled by the wall in the hallway.

"Ittai!" Ryou shouted, landing on his back, the flashlights and candles slipping out of his hands. Bakura cursed loudly, and blindly groped around for him. Taking the other's hand, he lifted him up effortlessly and bent down to pick up the things Ryou was holding. "Arigatou." Ryou mumbled, blushing.

"Yeah yeah, whatever." Bakura scowled, unable to see the blush that formed itself on Ryou's face. He turned on a flashlight and shown it at the hikari, who winced from the brightness. "What happened to the lights?" He demanded again, impatiently.

"The storm must have knocked out the power." Ryou said softly, and pulled out some matches to light the candles. "I guess we'll just have to wait until it comes back on. Until then, we'll have to use these for light." Ryou gestured to the candles he was lighting, scattering them all over the room.

"How long will that take?" Bakura growled. He wasn't a very patient person, if you didn't already know, and he didn't feel like waiting around all day. Ryou shrugged, not answering, before jumping up as another bolt of lighting lit up the sky, followed by a loud crash of thunder.

"I hate storms." He whimpered once again, wrapping his arms around himself as if to cease his body from quivering with fear.

"Aww, is the little hikari afraid of an itty bitty storm?" Bakura taunted, smirking evilly as he plopped down on the couch. Ryou blushed, ashamed, and looked at the ground. "Does he need his yami to make it all better?" Bakura continued teasing Ryou mercilessly. Ryou glared up at Bakura, even though he was still red from embarrassment.

"I don't need-."

BOOOOOOOOOM!!!

Ryou yelped, forgetting what he was about to say, and flew onto Bakura, curling up in his lap and clutching at his shirt desperately. The yami jumped up in surprise, barely catching his light in time.

"W-What do you think you're doing?" He sputtered out angrily a few minutes later, getting over his surprise and trying to pry the younger teen off of him. Ryou mumbled something inaudible against his chest, holding onto Bakura tighter. "Nani?" Ryou peeked his head out from his dark's shirt.

"I said I'm too scared."

"I don't care if you're too scared! Get the hell OFF of me!"

Ryou whimpered, and Bakura began to feel his shirt becoming moist. He looked down at the form curled up to him and felt Ryou shaking with suppressed sobs. Bakura twitched, not knowing what to do. He hated it when his aibou cried. Whenever he heard the younger one sobbing during the night, he'd just ignore it and go into another room. It made him upset that his light was unhappy, and that he couldn't do anything about it. But now, he wasn't able to escape the ailing of his hikari.

"Ryou?"

"..."

"Ryou, come on. Knock it off."

"..."

"Ryou!" Bakura growled, but stopped when he heard Ryou sniffle.

"Just tonight?" Ryou begged quietly, shifting slightly and staring up at Bakura with his big sad brown eyes, sad brown eyes that were red and swollen from crying.

"Nani?" Bakura snapped gruffly, a cautious look on his face at was his hikari was asking him.

"H-Hold me? Just for tonight?"

Bakura stared at down at him, bewildered.

"Please Bakura? It's just for tonight...Onegai? Until the storm is over?"

Bakura looked away momentarily before he wrapped his arms around Ryou, pulling the other against him roughly.

"Hn. Fine. Just tonight."

Ryou's face split into a grin, and he snuggled further into Bakura's embrace, purring contentedly. Thunder crashed outside, and Ryou didn't move a muscle. He lay there, in Bakura's arms, sleeping peacefully, seemingly forgetting about the storm outside. The yami gave a small smile at his chibi looking hikari, and closed his eyes, leaning his chin on Ryou's head of soft silver hair.

"Aishiteru Bakura-kun." Ryou murmured softly while smiling, making Bakura's eyes snap open. He stared at Ryou blankly as the other mumbled incoherently before falling back asleep. Bakura blinked, then sighed.

"I do too Ryou-chan." Bakura finally mumbled back, a few minutes later. He kissed his aibou's cheek lightly, and let himself become enveloped into a blissful rest, completely forgetting about the raging storm that continued outside.
