"Ryou, I'm so sorry you have to leave so early!" Malik said sympathetically, sneaking a glare at Isis who was grabbing her coat in the hallway. "It's just, I totally forgot this is the day once every couple of weeks where Isis drags me around the city with her all day. You know, 'Sibling bonding' time. One time I tried to go with Marik instead and I got grounded… Isis doesn't take excuses well…" He trailed off, biting his lip. Ryou smiled, and rested his hand on his friend's shoulder.
"It's ok; I think Marik will be the one to not take it so easily. But have fun, ok?" Ryou asked, emerald eyes shining happily as he talked to Malik.
"Yeah, I'll try… and I'll call you guys later or something!" Ryou nodded and opened the door.
"Bye Malik!" He called, smiling as Malik yelled a 'love ya!' back. He strode over to the elevator, taking a glance around the warm hued hallway. He wrinkled his nose; the room was all shades of browns, reds, and yellows. Ryou wasn't much of a warm tone person.
He pressed the down button, and waited for the elevator to ding, stepping in as it did so, and pressing the button with the star on it. He smiled as he heard elevator music a.k.a. the song 'Pina Colada' play, as Bakura and Seto had both been singing and dancing to it once when the gang was bored and decided to have their own little version of 'American Idol' called 'Deity Reject'… Bakura and Seto had of course lost, though it was cute to see his boyfriend try to attempt it. Actually, it was hard to tell, because those two, Duke, and Nolbz were really the only ones to perform. Every one else couldn't stand to be up against such 'talent' a.k.a. they didn't want to embarrass themselves. After all, why bother when there were already people doing it for you?
As the door clicked open, and Ryou walked out of the elevator, and the door, Ryou also remembered Bakura's sad attempt at singing the song "Stand by Me" to him. Ryou was so embarrassed as Bakura crawled and rolled around on the ground changing the word to "Ryou, Ryou, stand by me, oh Ryou beautiful darling, stand by me…" Bakura hands were sliding up his shirt as he moaned in the middle of the song, turning what could have been an almost sweet moment into a perverted, very memorable, hilariously embarrassing moment. Joey had almost peed himself laughing so hard. Ryou was sure he was almost about to die from the embarrassment…
He giggled slightly as he walked down the sidewalk, feet pattering on the busy streets of Domino as he went along. He looked up to the sky, smiling. Another warm day in the busy city, everyone pulling out their trendy, brightly colored summer clothes. Ryou was amazed at some of the stuff the kids around here wore… it was nothing like kids at their school. These kids all had such a swanky style, while most the kids were he lived always wore basic jeans, summer dresses, and tees. He placed his hands in the pockets of the borrowed PJs he wore that belonged to Malik, though actually, Malik had slept naked… but thankfully, Ryou was not in the same bed, having slept on the top bunk while Malik took the bottom futon.
Green eyes peered to a familiar white apartment complex, grinning as he hurried into the parking lot. He had sort of been missing Bakura last night, though he'd never tell the older male he couldn't even bare one nights' leave without him. Besides, he was sure he was just being pathetic, and that Bakura was probably having the time of his life without him. He sighed as he walked up the cement stairway, knocking on the apartment door. He was quite surprised by the face that answered.
"Hey Ryou! Sorry, Kura and Marik are out for the day, but get your butt in here!" Crystalline chirped, pulling said teen through the door.
"H-hey Crystalli-"
"Stop being so formal and just call me Chrys'!" She said happily, leading him over to the couch. He smiled, nodding.
"Where'd they go?" Ryou asked as he was seated.
"Not real sure, but they said they'd be back later! They must've figured Malik and you would be out all day too!"
"No, Malik had to go out with his sister for the day." He said softly, giving Crystalline a polite smile.
"I'm going to the kitchen to go get some water, would you like anything? There's orange soda! Bakura said it was your favorite so I went and got some! There's cereal too, but when I took they guy's grocery shopping, Bakura wasn't really sure what kind you liked, so we got two or three different kinds." Ryou smiled; Bakura actually told her what to get for him? Let's just say Bakura had a hug waiting for him.
"I'd love an orange soda, and I'm sure what ever kind of cereal you got would be fine." He chimed, setting his hands in his lap. Crystalline nodded, scurrying off to the kitchen to get said items. Ryou glanced to the TV to see music videos playing, and raised an eyebrow at the girls on the screen who were dancing around a pool, and some guy with lots of jewelry, all having close to no clothes on. What the hell was bling bling anyways? Ryou scratched his head as Crystalline entered the room, handing him a soda.
"Oh, I see you've found Marik's favorite channel, 'MTV'. For some reason, he can't get enough of this hip hop, rap stuff." She said, retaking a seat with a bottle of water.
"I'm not much a fan of the stuff, I'm more of a -"
"Country boy, yes, Bakura told us! He says it's basically all you and your friends listen to!" Ryou nodded, suddenly feeling guilty. Did Bakura really hate it that much?
"But don't let him fool you; he likes the stuff too… though he wouldn't admit it in front of Marik."
"I take it then, Marik isn't much of a fan of it?" Crys' snorted.
"Yeah right, he can barely take some of the techno Malik listens to! Taking them somewhere in a car is a nightmare! You couldn't even guess how many times the station is changed within a matter of ten minutes! The can never agree on anything music wise."
"So, what's the story with your father, you don't have to answer if you don't want, but Bakura always gets kind of uneasy when I ask about him." Ryou questioned, looking up to the older woman with curious eyes. Crystalline smiled, shaking her head.
"Bakura's never been our father's biggest fan, and our father hasn't been his either. See, when he was little, our father used to actually be somewhat normal, and he'd work in the city as long as he could just to be with us. Then, he was promoted when Bakura was around eight, and he started showing up less frequently. Bakura missed him terribly, as the two used to be pretty close. My mother told him Bakura seemed to be acting up lately, and that he was so sad, always moping because he missed our father so much. Therefore, my father offered to have him come to Rome with him for a week when Bakura was about nine. Bakura was overjoyed to finally get to see his dad after so long, and mother and I were both happy for him too. Well, the day came for him to go; father had said he'd send a limo to pick Bakura up early in the morning. So Bakura waited for hours and hours, but no limo ever came to take him to the airport. He refused to leave the window seat even after the sun went down; refusing to believe our father had stood him up. My mother had tried to get in contact with him all day too, but no matter whom we called our father never, seemed to be there. He never even said sorry for never coming to get him. My mom finally got a hold of him two months later, and all he said about it was 'oops, I forgot.'" Ryou blinked, sadness taking over him. Bakura's father had did that to him?
"And then when my mother had complained to my father once that Bakura be sent off to boarding school so she wouldn't have to deal with it, Bakura flipped, as did our mother. He even came down when Bakura was twelve for Christmas…, which turned out to be quite a horrible idea. A huge fight between the two broke out, and my father hit him. He ran away and we couldn't find him for over two days, which I think was when my father decided it was best if maybe he left. So he did, and a year later he said he was willing to give the two's relationship another try, telling mother that he'd be having Bakura come down to Cancun with him for a weekend. Needless to say, once again, he failed to show. Bakura said he knew he wouldn't come, but I think somewhere deep down, he still thought maybe our father was for real this time." Ryou leant his head against the couch, feeling horrible about Bakura's father, and Ryou's questioning about him. If he would've known, he would've never asked Bakura…
"Those weren't the only bad things he's done either, just a couple of the worst times. But now everything's ok since our parents are pretending to be happily married, though my dad's cheating on my mom." Ryou's eyes widened.
"D-does your mother know about it?" Crystalline smiled sadly, and nodded.
"Yeah, she knows, but there's no real reason for her to file for divorce. After all, our father still provides Bakura and her with a handsome amount of money a year and they live in a great house from what I hear. So my dad's happy, my mom's happy, I'm happy, and Bakura's happy; in fact, this has to be the happiest I've seen him for years! But love will do that to you I suppose!" She chirped, nudging Ryou. A pale pink crept across his cheeks.
"I, I…" Crystalline hugged the stuttering teen, laughing.
"It's ok Ryou, everyone falls head over heels in love sometime. That's so cute how you love my brother! I still don't see how anyone can stand him!" Crystalline exclaimed, grinning. Ryou gasped, face darkening.
"I never said I was in-l-love… wi-" Crystalline snickered, shaking a finger.
"Ryou my friend, you don't have to say anything, your face tells all amigo."
..:..:..
"I thought you said we were going to go see them early in the morning!" I shout, crossing my arms unhappily as Marik and I walk down the street.
"And stop winking at every girl you see, YOU'RE GAY!" Marik snickers.
"Oh Bakura, you're lucky I'm not straight, or I would've had all your girlfriends in a matter of seconds." Oh being blunt are we? Please no girl would ever touch you, Marik…
"Please, most of them would've been WORTH giving away."
"What about Ryou?" I blink. Just how stupid is he?
"Ryou's a boy, you idiot." I grumble as we walk up the stairway to my sister's apartment.
"So, I could still take him." My head whirls around, eyes glaring their fiercest.
"You couldn't, and you won't. He's mine and I lo-" I stop. What the hell am I saying?
"You what Bakura?"
"N-nothing…" I mutter, heading into the apartment to hear laughter coming from the living room.
"And look at that one! LOOK! It's Bakura, when we were still potty training him! He peed all over the floor; he couldn't even make it to the toilet!" I stop. What the fuck? I hear Marik laughing behind me as I enter the living room to find Ryou and Crystalline flipping through photo albums… I cough.
The two look up, eyes tearing from what I can only guess was laughing so hard.
"Oh hey Bakura! I was just sharing some old memories with Ryou here!" She calls, grinning. Ryou laughs and gets up, running over to me and hugging me tightly.
"Hey Bakura!" He chirps, resting his head on my shoulder. I blink.
"Ryou, do you feel okay?" Ryou giggles.
"Marik, I think I'm missing something here…" I say, looking over to where I thought he was. But he'd already run over to Crystalline, flipping through an album, cracking up.
"You know Bakura, if you're going to pick your nose, you really should make sure no one gets it on camera." Something is terribly wrong.
"What are you talking about Ryou?" I ask a hint of agitation in my voice. He laughs, grabs my hand, and rushes over to the couch.
"You look so cute there, Bakura!" He jokes, pointing to a picture of me taken a couple of years back with a finger up my nose and hair and eye makeup everywhere, obviously taken when I'd just woken up.
"Who the hell took that?!?" I snap, snatching the album from Crystalline's hands.
"I did, on your birthday a few years back!" I glare.
"I'm going to kill you for this, you do know that right?" The three just laugh harder.
"Like you could little brother! Respect your elders now." My sister taunts, grinning at me.
"You whore!" I shout throwing a pillow at her. Her mouth gapes open.
"THIS IS WAR!" She hollers, grabbing a pillow and chucking it at my head. I duck and run.
"You'll never catch me, I'm the Masta!" I holler, cackling hysterically as I run straight into a wall. Suddenly, things start to go black.
..:..:..
I groan as I feel a cold cloth brushing over my forehead.
"It's cold…" I whine, trying to push the attacking cloth off.
"Bakura, you're awake!" A warm voice shrieks, cling to my abdomen. I open my eyes to find Ryou, snuggling his pretty little head into my waist.
"Wh-what happened?" I ask dazedly, glancing around the room. A couple of candles were lit, and all but one dim light was turned on.
"You, you ran into a wall… and passed out…" He trails off, looking into my eyes. I burst out laughing.
"D-did I r-really?!? Holy shit, Seto's gonna love this one!" Ryou smiles and climbs on top of me, curling up by my chest.
"Yes, you did… Crystalline and I were really worried you might get a bit of amnesia from how hard you hit." I grin, wrapping arms around him.
"No my dear, I'm quite alright… what did Marik have to say about it?"
"He laughed. Hard." I snort. Figures.
"So, where are they at?" I ask nonchalantly, glancing again around the empty room as I run fingers through his satiny hair. How does he manage to get this hair that friggin' soft?
"Marik went to Malik's house for the night, and Crystal went out with a friend for a while, she said she'd be back late." He says quietly, a small purr emitting from his voice as I continue to fondle his hair.
"That was nice of them to leave you home alone to take care of me with no form of entertainment. I'm glad they care." I say, sarcasm dripping.
"Well, Crys' was going to stay, but I told her it'd be ok if she left me alone with you, that I'd take care of you alone so she could go out and enjoy her day off." He chirped, fingers drumming against my skin.
"Oh, well that was nice of you then. But if I were you, I would've whined and made them both stay with me." He giggled.
"Well, you are my boyfriend… so I guess that kind of entitles me to do the job…" He says knowingly, playing with the fabric of my tee shirt.
"Well, Chrystalline's my sister, and Marik's my best friend in the whole world, so wouldn't you say that entitles them to help?"
"Well, I guess those positions hold a certain form of responsibility, but I'm supposed to be well, you're lover."
"So, you're saying that just because I'm dating you, it entitles you to all the hard work, and if I were to die, you deserve at least half of everything?" Ryou laughs and smacks me playfully.
"No loser! That's not what I mean at all it's just…"
"Just what? So you're saying you love me the most?" I ask him, smirking as I raise an eyebrow.
"No Bakura that's not what I s- oh shut up!" He says, digging his head into my chest. I tighten my grip on him, cuddling him like a teddy bear.
"You're so cute weirdo…" I coo, ruffling his hair. He looks up at me with pouty lips.
"And you're so evil to me…"
..:..:..
"So, does your head feel better?" Ryou hollers from the living room.
"Much!" I call back, digging through the drawers. I need candy! Arg! At the pits of the bottom drawer I finally find one thing; a cherry jolly rancher's sucker. Hm…
I remove the wrapper, and stare at the square lolly in my hand. It's a dark red, sure to give lips a crimson front, and your mouth a toothsomely sweet flavor, especially if you were to try and kiss some one. How delicious would that be if someone's mouth seemed to taste of candy? I lick my lips as a risqué vision comes to mind: Ryou in black short shorts, and a tight tee, crawling across a leopard print rug, cherry sucker in hand, crimson dyed tongue lapping at it, lusty eyes staring across from me.
"Bakura, don't you want some?" He'd say in a breathy tone, staring at me as he sucked on the lolly, a soft, muffled moan coming out as the flavors arouse his taste buds.
I smirk, as a shady idea comes to mind. I cackle lightly, sneaking back into the living room with my sucker in hand, raising it to my mouth, and stroking it with my tongue, enjoying its tanginess. I saunter over and sit next to Ryou in the dimly lit room, sucking on my candy.
"This is really good…" I purr, tilting my head to sweep my tongue across the flat surface. Ryou looks over to me.
"Hey you found some candy!" He says happily, smiling across at me.
"Yeah, it's cherry flavor… one of the best suckers I think I've ever tasted." I say provocatively, stroking the sucker again with my tongue. His lip quivers a bit as his eyes set on my tongue and lips, and of course, my yummy sucker.
"I, I bet…" He says softly, eyes never leaving the sight before him. I snicker and scoot closer, my thumb reaching up to gently stroke Ryou's cheek.
"It's really a shame there weren't two…" I breathe, eyes boring into his own radiant eyes, a pinch of longing in them.
"Is something wrong, Ryou?" His lips quiver slightly again, and his teeth bit down on his bottom one slightly, nibbling.
"No.. I, I…" He stutters out; I chuckle lightly.
"Ryou if you wanted a lick, all you had to do was say so." I purr, moving the sucker closer to his lips.
"I, I…"
"Come on, taste it Ryou… you'll like it…" I whisper, using a finger to brush the hair out of his face. "Take a lick…" He gazes at me with unsure eyes, but slowly opens his mouth, shyly sticking his tongue out and just barely brushing the sucker.
"Ryou, you barely even tried it, do I need to give you lessons?" I say, raising an eyebrow. He closes his eyes and sweeps his tongue across the sucker once more, savoring the flavor.
"I-it is good…" He whispers, blushing slightly. I grin as I move in closer to lap at the sucker that is only an inch or so from his lips.
"You can always have more, I don't mind sharing…" He nods slightly and sticks out his tongue, licking the sucker in unison with me. I grin and slide the sucker into his mouth, watching intently as he sucks off all the drool; my drool. He moans softly, wrapping silky fingers around my hand and removing the sucker from his mouth, and licking it again, glazed eyes looking up into mine. I smirk and lick at it again, making sure to leave a big trail of saliva behind. His tongue roams around the sucker, picking up every single drop of our juices. I lap at the sucker again, tongue brushing slightly against his, a loud moan ringing from his throat. I snicker and stick the sucker back in my mouth, sucking off all the spit, and wetting it again with my own, taking it out, and placing it back in Ryou's mouth.
"Things are always better when you share." I whisper, breath caressing his lips as I move in closer, slowly pulling the sucker away from his lips, leaving them no longer protected. I close my eyes and close the small gap between us, lips brushing softly against his own mushy, cheery stained ones. He moans, arms wrapping around my neck, pulling me even closer. I slip open my mouth, and my tongue slides out, lapping at Ryou's bottom lip, begging to go inside that delicious tasting cavern. Ryou of course complies, lips parting, a gasp emitting as my tongue delves into his mouth, searching and roaming about his steamy mouth, indulging in his sweet taste. My tongue brushes against his and he whimpers, clinging onto me as I push him down, us both falling onto the couch, me of course on top.
My tongue entwines itself with his own, stroking the side of it, making sure to taste every little corner of his mouth. My hands slide up his tee shirt, caressing velvety skin, hand resting by his heart, being able to feel how fast it was going, knowing the full depth of the adrenaline rush. I feel him under me, practically begging to get a good breath in, but I know he doesn't want to stop. My tongue retreats back into my mouth, and I hover above his lips, eyes staring into his own.
"You taste so good Ryou…" I whisper, kissing the corner of his panting mouth. He closes his eyes again, kissing me back, hands curling into my hair. I grin and place butterfly kisses down his jaw line, tongue coming out and sweeping down his throat, stopping at the junction between his neck and shoulder and nibbling softly. He cries out and I snicker, loving how my touches send him into moans. I lift myself up, and tug up his shirt, trying to take it off. He arches his back, and lifts up his arms, making getting off his shirt a billion times easier. I twirl it around a few times, smiling and throw it across the room, leaning back down to capture his lips again. As I bring my tongue out again, he lifts the sucker to my tongue, me happily licking it. Of course, his tongue comes out to play too, us both enjoying the cherry goodness. I slid the sucker and my tongue into his mouth, enjoying two very great tastes at once. He moans, hands clawing at my shirt, trying to lift it up and get it off. I pull away for a few seconds and hurriedly take it off, dropping it down off the couch. Ryou's eyes roam over my naked, muscled chest, fingers brushing across it.
"You have such beautiful skin, Bakura." He whispers, fingers tracing circles on my abdomen. I grin.
"You're the exquisite one, Ryou. Everything about you looks and tastes excellent."
"Y-you haven't even tasted me everywhere…" He trails off, confusion in his emerald orbs. I smile and place a finger on his lips, outlining them.
"No my love, I haven't… but one day I will, and I know it will all taste delectable." He blushes, hand sliding down my back.
"Ba-Bakura, there, there's something I never told you…" I smile and bend down to kiss his naked, pearly chest.
"And what's that Ryou?" I purr, resting my head on my arms, laying on him.
"I, I… I made a promise to my mom a long time ago… that I'd… I'd wait till I was married…" I blink, puzzled.
"Wait for what Ryou, sweetheart? I'm not getting it." I state, lifting my head up to look in his eyes. He averts my gaze, biting his lip.
"Y-you know… s-sex…" My eyes widen. I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL WE"RE MARRIED JUST TO GET SOME?!? He bites his lip, looking as if he's about to cry. I smile and give him a loving, reassuring kiss on his cheek.
"That's ok, I can wait, we're in no rush, after all." I say simply, nuzzling my nose against his cheek. He blinks.
"You, you mean you're not mad at me?" I laugh a little, resting back by his chest.
"Ryou, I care about you, and I only would ever do what you want of me. If you want to wait, then that's your decision, and I'm perfectly fine with it. After all, if I really loved you, I'd wait for you right?" I say, smiling and closing my eyes.
"Bakura, I, I, I-" I press a finger to his pretty little lips.
"Shh, Ryou, it's ok! Now how about we watch a movie or something?" He looks up at me, hugs, and latches onto me again, squeezing. I chuckle, running fingers through his hair. He smiles and kisses my forehead.
"Th-thanks f-for understanding…" I nod, and sit up, pulling him into my arms.
"Of course Ryou, that's what Bakura's are for!" I joke. He laughs shaking fluffly white locks about.
"You're such a loser, Kura…"
"Yeah, but somehow you're still mine." I gush, kissing his cheek, and making him blush. I reach over and shut off the lamp, reaching for the remote, and handing it to Ryou.
"Find us something to watch while I go get our shirts, and take my pants off!" I say, throwing him his shirt, and hurrying over to get mine, tossing it in the corner by our stuff. I unbutton my pants and slip them off, grabbing the throw blanket that's sitting on the recliner arm. I jump onto the couch, pulling Ryou down with me, and we both shuffle around, getting comfortable. He giggles as I nuzzle into his shoulder, resting my head there, and wrapping an arm around his waist. I can feel his smooth legs against mine because lucky me, he took off his boxers too!
I close my eyes and breathe in his scent, eyes opening slowly to gaze at the TV screen. No idea what it is, but I'm just happy holding my Ry.
