God, the Grand (e): Aloha!
Gandalf: waves Time for the 3rd chapter of 'Summer Lovin', yay!
Scarletta the Spider: Nope, you're totally right, we don't own Yu-gi-oh, but we do own the OCs Nolbz and Dess
Gandalf: No kidding, but now read on!
"So Bakura, you have a thing for Ryou, don't you?" Mokuba asks randomly.
"No, I'm not gay." I chide, well I wasn't before I met him. He gives me a questioning glance.
"So, are we still going to the fair this week?" Tea asks.
"Of course, we've been planning on it since school ended a few weeks ago!" Joey exclaimed, flailing his arms about… guess him and that Mai girl came back from walking.
"Psh, yeah and maybe this time Ryou can actually go." Nolbz retorts.
"Why can't he ever go?" I ask, taking a seat in the grass next to Dess, who's lying down.
'"Obviously you haven't met Ryou's step mom, Ms. Strict. She used to barely even let Ryou play when he was younger, hell, his step mom made Ryou come inside at 6:30; 7:00 on good days. One time she got drunk and let him stay out until 9:00; you can only imagine our shock." He replied, snorting.
"What about his dad, why doesn't he just kick the bitch's ass out?" I state simply.
"Well, we always kind of wondered that. See, his real mom died when he was about five or six; along with his younger sister Amane. His dad remarried a couple years later to Amelda. He was obviously desperate when he took her hand." Joey states simply.
"Yeah, and last year she actually said 'yes', that he could go to the fair, but the day of the fair, she made up some lame excuse to why he couldn't go." Tristan adds. Damn, if she was my mom I would have freaking killed her… maybe.
"You're welcome to come too!" Mokuba chirps. Go to a fair? Sounds like a real blast. I nod.
"If his parents are so strict, how does he plan to get out?" I am quite curious as to know; surely, a virtuous little gold star teacher's pet like him wouldn't dare to sneak out.
"Oh, he sneaks out the window around 9:30 to 10:30. He's been doing it since about 5th grade and has yet to get caught!" Seto scoffed with a smirk. Maybe theirs more to this kid then meets the eye…
"How long have you guys been stuck her anyways." I question.
"Well Mokuba and I have lived her since I was ten. We were adopted by a very wealthy couple that lives in a mansion up on Villa Villa Coola." Seto muses.
"I've lived her since my parents split when I was eight and Serenidy just moved in with my dad and me last year." Joey answers, ruffling his sister's long, kept, auburn hair. She giggles.
"Tristan, Tea and I have lived here for as long as we can remember, and Yami is an exchanged student from Japan who has been residing with us for the last two years!" Yugi says happily, nuzzling his head into the older looking tri-color haired teen.
"It's more like I live there; I don't ever plan on leaving, at least not without Yugi." Yami remarks, causing Yugi to blush. Oh please, cut with the mushy crap. I roll my eyes and tear up some grass.
"I came here two years ago." Mai says quietly. She's busy flipping through a magazine.
"Dess moved here around the same time as Mai, but me, I've lived here years and years before! Seto and I have been best friends ever since!" Nolbz jokes, causing a few of the others to laugh.
"If you only knew…" I hear Seto mumble.
"Well, me, I just chill here for the summer at my dad's place; and I've been doing it since I was about nine." Duke said, " I always liked it best here though. I usually live up in Canada with my mom."
I nodded, thinking back on what they'd said. So I'm guessing half these kids barely remember going to big cities… If they went to one, I bet half of them would never come back.
It's been over an hour since Ryou left, and Bakura was playing a card game with Tristan, and Duke.
"Nolbz, do you think it'd be ok with your mom if I stayed over tonight?" Mokuba asked, checking.
"It's been over four years and still you ask? You are like mother freaking family; of course she doesn't care!" Nolbz exclaimed, grinning.
"Seto, you know you could come along too!" Nolbz countered, peering to his older friend.
"Pfft… not likely. I have better things to do then to hang out with a couple of pre-teens." Seto sassed. Nolbz shrugged.
"Suit your self." He said, before returning to his game of freeze tag with Mokuba, and Dess.
Everyone of course knew Seto's words were false. He absolutely loved hanging around the three; he would never admit it though. He loved Nolbz and Dess as he loved his family, or rather his brother.
Seto just smirked and continued watching Yami, Yugi, Joey, and Serenidy's poker game.
"I fold." Joey said smugly, slamming down his cards.
"Joey, that isn't a good thing." Mai whispered to him.
"It isn't?" He said, dumbfounded. Yugi giggled and watched them contently. Yami was obviously good at this game, because he had won every single game which was partly why Duke and Tristan played a deferent game with Bakura.
"You won again Yami!" Yugi exclaimed, beaming to the boy next to him. Yami returned his smile.
"Well, that's what happens when you're the best." He said coolly. Yugi gave him a playful shove and laughed.
"It's a good thing you're humble." Bakura muttered under his breath, causing some everyone to laugh. This was one of the first times Bakura had really ever had good, clean fun that didn't involve stealing something, or beating some one to a bloody pulp. 'Legal fun, who would've thought' He mused to himself.
Something rustled in the grass fields a bit off to the left. Suddenly, a teen dressed in pajamas, and a black sweatshirt appeared, looking gleeful as ever.
"Hey guys!" He hollered. Bakura gazed that way and was greeted with the sight of a fluffy white head, wearing his sweatshirt, looking all too attractive and cute in his animal print pajama pants.
"Man, I got scolded for over a half an hour for being late. When is she going to realize I'm not five and give me an actual reasonable curfew?" He whined, plopping down next to Bakura.
"When you start acting like it." Duke retorted. Ryou pouted.
"I am not five." He replied. Bakura snorted at Ryou's immaturity.
"Nice pajamas Ryou." Bakura said, smirking. Ryou slightly blushed.
"My mom forced me to wear them." He said in defense. Bakura's eyes widened.
"Did she really?" He asked, amused. Ryou smiled.
"No! I like them dork!" He said happily.
"Hey you're the one embarrassing your self by wearing them, not me." Bakura countered, returning his gaze to the fire that crackled. Ryou shook his head and turned to the group.
"So who's up for a little store run?" Seto asked, grinning deviously.
"No way… I was so close to getting caught last time!" Tea exclaimed, Serenidy nodded.
"Damn Kaiba, you're a million-aire and yet you still are a common thief!" Joey humored. Seto shrugged.
"Bad habit." He stated simply.
"You guys steal?" Bakura stated, amazed.
"Yeah." Duke said, smiling.
"Whoa…"
"What's so great about that?"
"I don't know, I guess I just thought you were all a bunch of goody-goodies." Bakura replied.
"Well, some of us are, but some of us know how to have some real fun." Nolbz added, grinning.
"You up to it Bakura?" Dess asked, his twinkling innocent orbs pulling into a smile.
"Psh, count me in." He said coolly, running to the back of Seto's pick up truck with Nolbz.
"I'll come too!" Ryou called. They all stared to him in bewilderment.
"Excuse me, but did I just die, or did Ryou just say he was going to do something bad?" Tristan asked, feigning a woozy appearance.
"I have to done bad things!" Ryou snapped.
"Name one." Joey countered.
"…"
"That's what I thought." He proclaimed.
"Well, there's a first time for everything." He said quietly, eyes glancing over to Bakura who was in a conversation with Nolbz. He jogged over and jumped into the back, sitting next to Bakura.
"You're coming?" Bakura asked, surprised.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I?" Ryou replied nonchalantly, flicking back strands of white, coconut scented hair.
"Well, maybe because you never-" Nolbz's sentence was cut short by Ryou placing his hand over said brunette's mouth. 'Never do' Nolbz thought, starring at the two, puzzled.
"Don't even think you're going with out me!" Duke proclaimed, hopping inside the pickup, next to Mokuba.
"We shall be back. Any requests?" Seto asked, furrowing an eyebrow.
"Juice, you know what kind!" Tea said smiling.
"K." Seto replied, as he hopped in his truck and drove them off.
"So Seto, whatever happened to Rosario?" Duke asked, scanning over the driving brunette. Icy blue eyes glared back.
"She's old news." He said simply, shaking his head and turning back to the road.
"And Sam?"
"Old news." Seto replied again. Duke smiled.
"You go through girls faster than an old, balding man goes through Rogaine I swear." Duke chided.
"Bakura?" Ryou summoned, turning his head towards the brown-eyed teen.
"Yeah?" I replied, spinning my head to him and starring into his sparkling orbs.
"What was your girlfriend's name?" He asks quietly. Damn, why does he care about her so much?
"It was Summer, Summer Raymond." I told him. "She looked nothing like a girl named Summer should though. She had long black tresses and messy bangs that fell over her eyes. She was pale, and her gray eyes always had a sharp glare to them. That was your next question, right?" He nodded.
"Was she pretty?"
"So-so I guess. What about you, don't you have some stupid girl friend?" I asked, somewhat curious… My head pleaded for his answer to be 'no'.
"No…" Ryou trails off. He twirled his head back forward, seeming to be thinking of something.
"Oh, Mayberry… touchy subject that one." Nolbz said knowingly, shaking a finger. Mayberry eh?
"Mayberry? Is she like an old girlfriend?"
"Yes, the only one I've ever had." He said, sounding quite regretful. That bitch must have really hurt him.
"What happened to her anyways?" I ask, trying not to sound too desperate to know.
"Well, we started dating in about October, a month after she got here. She was just a normal girl you know? Then all of a sudden, she started hanging around with all the popular kids, and ignoring me. People told me she didn't like me but I never believed them. I guess they'd told her for like four months to break up with me. She cheated on me multiple times and we were together seven months, two in which she completely ignored me. In mid-April, I dumped her. She begged and pleaded for me not to, told me she loved me. I just had to walk away though… Then after, her and her friends spread about every rumor about me that they could think of." Ryou said, pain tingeing in his wide, innocent eyes.
"Real bitch she met the girls… such a fake." Nolbz adds. What kind of girl would do that to Ryou? Only a total fucking witch. He was too sweet, and beautiful to hurt… any pain aimed towards him looked like it'd kill him. Something in me just wanted to jump and hug him tightly and tell him how I would never leave him… man I've got it bad for this kid… I need to find a hobby.
"Shit!" Duke seethed, swishing his head around, peering to the cop car that was around 30 meters away.
"Get down!" Seto hisses.
"What the-"
"Come on Bakura!" Ryou yells, pulling me down over him. Once more, we found ourselves on top of each other. Once he realized I was on him, he blushed.
"Sorry…" He mutters, smiling.
"Don't move." Nolbz whispers as the cop whirled by.
"The stars sure are bright tonight." Ryou says, his emerald eyes reflecting the glow of the night sky. I glanced up.
"You're right… they remind me of something…" I trail off unconsciously. I turned around and found myself peering into his eyes, him in my own. He started laughing, as did I. Why that was funny, I don't think I'll ever know.
