Me: okay, no long a/n. I have to post this tonight before 11:00.
Disclaimer: Erin-chan does not have control of the glory of either Yu-Gi-Oh!, or Crash and Burn by Savage Garden. Okay?

Ryou lay on the couch for who knows how long, thinking about Bakura, his yami. Why wouldn't he open up to him? Why was he so hateful? Why...did his yami not care for him the way Ryou cared for him? He could not cry any more. He had enough of that. Crying was weak, showing emotions through crystalline droplets.
All Ryou really wanted was for Bakura to accept him, if not love him.
When you feel all alone
And the world has turned it's back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild, wild heart
The room seemed to cool down instantly, although the central air wasn't on. That meant that Bakura had entered the same room he was in. Not a good thing, he was probably coming home to fume. Ryou took quick refuge behind the couch.
Closing the door, the albino stopped and looked around, probably for him. Even though the tenshi was terrified, something was different...Bakura didn't seem to have that hostile aura about him like he usually did...
//Ryou?// The mind link? Why did he use that? And he'd have never called him by name, much less his first. What if...he's changed?
/Y-yes, Bakura-sama*?/ Out of the small crack between the wall and the couch, Ryou could see him recoil ever so slightly at the title.
//Call me Bakura or something...where are you?//
The hikari's heart felt like a great weight had been lifted off it. /Behind...the couch./ Bakura bit his bottom lip gently and crept over to where he was hiding. Ryou could see a great deal of hurt in his eyes as he saw the fear in his own.
"Ryou..."Bakura kneeled down. "If you're still angry or scared of me...I can go into the Sennen Ring for as long as you want." His eyes widened slightly. How many times before had he thought of this? But...now he felt safe around him. Maybe he did change...
I know you feel like the walls
Are closing in on you
It's hard to find relief
And people can be so cold
When darkness is on your door
And you can't take it anymore
Let me be the one to call
If you jump
I'll break your fall
Lift you up
And fly away into the night
"No, it's alright. C...can you help me up, though?" I waited for it. A kick in the ribs, a punch in the face...but nothing came, save the hand held out. "B-Bakura," Ryou braved a look at his yami. "Thanks."
He smiled and put his other arm around his light's waist for support, pulling him up. Ryou had regained balance for some odd seconds before accidentally stumbling...right into Bakura. The force was enough to send them both crashing onto the carpeted floor. Using his developed reflexes, Bakura firmly wrapped his arms around Ryou's and twisted in mid-air so he would take the fall, unfortunately right on his shoulder.
"Itai*! Damn, that hurt! Are...you okay?" Bakura released him from his tight grip to brace his shoulder with his hands.
"Yes, thank you." Ryou's eyes had welled with tears. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to fall into you, Bakura! Please...don't hurt me." Bakura was surprised at his last comment.
"I'm sorry for everything I've ever done to you, Ryou." He paused there for a few seconds "I, even though I didn't put it in the nicest way...I, love you." WOAH! Hold up! Did he just say...he loved him?! Bakura pulled Ryou into a soft and sincere kiss. When he didn't respond out of shock, he backed away, thinking he had done something wrong. The light touched his lips with the long slender fingers belonging to the tenshi, still looking awestruck. "Oh Ra! I...oh god! I-I need to, go...for a walk." He rushed out the door, still red in the face. As he slammed the door Ryou noticed that he had promptly forgot his coat.
"So he did it then. Bakura told you?" He twisted around at the foreign sound.
"Marik? Why...are you here? What about-"
"Malik? He'll be fine. As for why I'm here, Bakura asked me to stay, probably for your own sake. Humm..." Marik stopped for a second, then looked like he had made up his mind. "Do you know about his past? Back in Egypt, I mean." Ryou shook my head no. The Egyptian started telling him the story of Bakura's past, just as he had witnessed it.
"But...that's, that's awful... I'm curious, Marik. Does he really...love me?"
If you need to fall apart
Well I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash
Then crash and burn
You're not alone
When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one-way street
With the monsters in your head
"...Yes, he does. You have no idea how hard it was to work up the courage to tell you, too. He must really see you as something special." Marik looked just a bit concerned about something. Ryou let it go, as the lighting was a bit off, anyway.
"Yeah...well I'm bit...worn out. I'll be in my room if you need anything. If Bakura comes back, please thank him for me." He yawned and headed up the stairs, though having no intention of sleeping.
As he reached my room, Ryou decided that he should probably clean up a bit. Starting with his scattered clothes and working his way around the rest of the room until he finally reached the bed. "God, Bakura. If only you were here..." Damn! Now I can't even talk to him...
//R-Ryou?// Oh yeah! The mind link! Kami-sama, he was stupid.
/Yes? I'm...why did you run away?/
//Ryou, Gomennasi*. I just...needed to get some air. Sorry if I scared you.//
/...please come home, Bakura.../
//...Do ka, shimashita ka.*//
/Genki desu*, Marik told me about your past...did, he, really beat you like that? /
//...//
/Bakura?/
//...Hai*...// Oh, Kami. Marik...was right.
When hopes and dreams are far away
And you feel like you can't face the day
Let me be the one to call
If you jump, I'll break your fall
Lift you up
And fly away into the night
If you need to fall apart
Well I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash
Then crash and burn
You're not alone
Cause there has always been heartache and pain
And when it's over you'll breathe again
You'll breathe again
When you feel all alone
And the world has turned it's back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild, wild heart
Let me be the one to call
If you jump, I'll break your fall...
Me: whew! All done! The translations are as follows:
-Sama=title of respect, Itai=a scream of pain in Japanese (well, duh), Gomennasi=sorry, Do ka, shimashita ka=Are you okay?, Genki desu=I'm fine, Hai=yes. Whew...
Bakura: well, you're finally done. Do you feel better that you don't have merciless beat down fics anymore?
Me: ^^ yes, as a matter of fact! This chappie wasn't changed that much, actually. Only the very begging and it went from Ryou's P.O.V. to normal.
Bakura: well, as normal as this fic can get, anyway... *shifty eyes*
Ryou: see ya in chappie 8! ^^// r/r, mina!
Me: Ja!
