"Ryou sweetheart, he's in bed still! You'll have to go wake him up! Marik and Malik should be back here in a few minutes, I sent them up to the store for me!" Ms. Ketsueki said, smiling at the gentle white haired boy in front of her.
"They know the way to the store?" Ryou asked, glancing p t the blonde haired woman curiously. She laughed, shaking her head.
"Well, not really! They were bored though, and on the edge of pouncing Bakura because he wouldn't wake up. So I sent them up there, giving them directions the best I could. I am a bit afraid of what will happen to Bakura's car with Marik driving, but I suppose it can't be worse than running into a fire hydrant, eh?" Ryou flushed, hiding his face in his hands.
"Oh, I'm so embarrassed! Bakura told you I did that? I'm so sorry! I wanted to tell you myself, but I was so scared you'd be angry!" Ryou said, gazing up at Roxi with sorry eyes. She smiled and shook her head.
"I don't blame you sweetheart; I blame Bakura! He was stupid for letting someone with no driving experience take the wheel with close to no instructions! For further lessons, just be a bit more careful, okay? After all, I don't want to have to put a fence around my mail box!" She joked, patting Ryou on the head.
"I am really sorry.. I offered to pay the damage, but Bakura told me I was being ridiculous… I just feel so bad for ruining his car…" Ryou said softly, glancing down to the rug, playing with some loose fabric from his sweatshirt. Mrs. Ketsueki smiled, taking a seat on the sofa.
"Ryou, I don't think Bakura minded. He cares more about you then that car, and as long as your ok, I think Bakura would've been happy," She informed, eyeing the teen amusedly. "Now get out of here and go get that lazy butt up!" Ryou giggled softly and trotted away, jogging down the hall towards Bakura's bedroom, halting at the door, smiling. He was happy to get to see his boyfriend for the first time in over ten hours!
He quietly turned the brass knob, door creaking slightly as he pushed it open gently, creeping inside only to be greeted by a happy puppy who jumped up on Ryou's legs, panting. Ryou bent down and petted Ryou, smiling, placing a finger to his lips.
"Ryou be quiet, you don't want to ruin my surprise for when I tackle Kura, do you?" he whispered, scratching the dog behind the ears, "Now go out there!" he commanded, smiling as Ryou ran out of the bedroom.
He closed the door and got back up to his feet, brushing the dog hair off his lap. Silently, he walked forward, smiling softly as he drew nearer towards the messy bed, stifling a giggle as he looked upon the silvery haired boy who was tangled in maroon sheets. He looked so funny sleeping, yet cute too.. He still wore his angsty frown, eyes brows knitting in a silent anger, sharp features never dulling. Ryou mused that sometime he needed to tell Bakura to smile more. If he didn't, Bakura was going to need botox by the age of 20!
He sat down on the edge of the bed, and crawled slowly onto Bakura, straddling the sleeping boy's waist. "Kura," he said softly, fingers brushing un kept hair out of the sixteen year old's closed eyes, marveling at the pure softness of his skin. How had he gotten so lucky as to meet someone like Bakura, and get the chance to date him? He couldn't help but think of the first day they met, and smile. He remembered how weirded out Bakura had been by him, and how cheerful and welcoming he had tried to be for the boy, which he supposed worked, because now, he could kiss Bakura any time he wanted, and that was the beauty of it all!
"Bakura, come on! Everyone's waiting!" He whined, leaning down closer into the other one's face, propping himself up on his elbows. Bakura in return groaned and tried to squirm out from under Ryou vigorously.
"Get off, go away! Can't you see I'm sleeping?" Bakura whined, managing to turn on his side and hide further under his comforter. Ryou laughed and laid down on top of him, nuzzling into his neck.
"You know you want to Kura! Get up!" He lulled, trying to lure him to wake. Bakura grunted again.
"Go away! I don't want to get up. I'm so tired…"
"But Kura, don't you wanna see me?" Ryou whispered in Bakura's ear, tickling the sensitive skin. Bakura groaned; why did Ryou have to do something seductive and sexy right now?
"Yes, but not right now!" He pulled the boy down next to him and wrapped his arms around him, drawing him near. "You're a damn pest, you know that Ry?" Bakura grumbled out, droopy, sleepy eyes softly glaring into cheerful green ones across from him. Ryou laughed and lifted a hand to run fingers through Bakura's hair, smiling brightly.
"Yeah, but I just wanted to see you Kura. I must say though, you look absolutely adorable when you sleep!" Bakura snorted and moved his face in closer so their noses almost touched, and shut his eyes.
"Whatever you say, darling. Mm, I didn't get to sleep until late last night. I'm so tired…" he trailed off, a sigh escaping his chapped lips. Ryou looked upon him with sympathetic eyes, rubbed their noses together as he moved closer, pressing his body flush up against Bakura's.
"I won't make you get up then, okay? After all, I can't have a tired Kura falling asleep everywhere!" he chimed, grinning sheepishly. Bakura nodded, hugging him tightly.
"Well, you could always just stay in bed with me all day… I wouldn't mind." Ryou giggled, and pressed his lips against Bakura's, stealing a small kiss. He wrinkled his nose slightly. Bakura had the faint taste of morning breath lingering on his lips, and it wasn't the greatest flavor ever.
"I know you wouldn't, but someone's got to show Malik and Marik around!" Bakura groaned, shaking his tangled, messy bed hair.
"Where are those freaks anyways? But screw them; it's you I want, not them. Just let them roam around or something. Have Mokuba, Dess, and Nolbz play with them. They're friendly," Bakura said, trying to persuade Ryou to stay with him. Ryou shook his head.
"No, I'm going to show the around! Besides, you do know I haven't even seen everyone else yet, don't you? I wanted to come and get you first," Ryou informed, nuzzling against Bakura again, making the other snicker.
"That tickles, and I know. Fine, leave me hear to curl up and die and be all alone!" Bakura said dramatically, throwing the back of his hand on his forehead. Ryou leant up to kiss the hand, smiling.
"No, you'd better not die! I want something big and expensive for my birthday, and I still need to show you off to everyone at school!" Bakura smiled and threw a hand over his ear.
"Don't say the 'S' word Ryou. Don't let them know we fear it." Ryou laughed, and gave Bakura a kiss on the chin.
"You're such a loser Bakura. But anyway, I'm coming back at four pm, and if you're still not done, I'm going to do something very bad! Don't forget to brush your teeth, morning breath is icky!" Ryou said, trying to crawl away from Bakura, who pulled him right back in his arms.
"It's your fault you kissed first, and I deserve at least one more kiss before you leave me!" He protested, smirking. Ryou giggled and of course gave in, sharing one more kiss with him before Bakura let his arms fall to the mattress and watched Ryou move away, staring at him longingly with tired eyes.
"Now sleep well, and I'll be back later!" Ryou chimed, turning around to walk out the door. He flung his head over his shoulders and gave Bakura a cute wink and a small wave. "Bye!" Bakura nuzzled into the fluffy black pillow under his head and snorted, giving Ryou a wave as he left the room. Bakura sighed, listening to his beauty's steps falter as he headed down the hallway, and surely out the front door. He really had wanted Ryou to stay a little longer, but he wasn't about to keep him cooped up all day, it wasn't fair.
He sighed and turned back on his side, burrowing himself in the blankets once more, closing his eyes, and falling immediately asleep, anticipating four o' clock when he'd get to see his Ryou again.
-
Ryou sat on Bakura's front porch, drumming his fingers, waiting for Malik and Mariku to return from their slight adventure. It had already been forty minutes now, in which Ryou had returned to Bakura's room for thirty of them to snuggle with the boy, though he let Bakura sleep while doing it. Mrs. Ketsueki didn't understand what happened to them, either, and probably didn't want to know.
Ryou blinked, curious green eyes looking up the road as he saw a now dirty Ford Escape driving up the pathway, just barely missing a fluffy gray bunny that hopped by. Ryou was relived they didn't hit it; he was a friend to the animals, after all. The dog that was curled up next to him jumped up and ran over to the now parked vehicle, awaiting the entrance of the people inside the car.
Malik and Marik both jumped out of the jeep, laughing with a couple of bags in their hands.
"Heya Ryou! Why are you on the porch?" Malik asked, bending down to give the excited dog a good pat on the head before hurrying over to Ryou. Marik snorted walking past Ryou to the door.
"Stupid dog," he mumbled, shaking his head. Ryou smiled.
"Don't call my baby that! Come here Ryou! You don't have to take that from that mean, cruel man!" He called, grinning as Ryou galloped over to him, nuzzling against his leg, panting happily. Ryou scratched him behind the ears, laughing at the dog's silly gestures.
"Did ya'll have fun at the store?" He asked, eyeing the two. Marik grinned, nodding.
"Of course we did… we always have fun," Marik purred as he headed in the door, curious puppy following him in.
"Yeah, we did! Where's Kura though?"
"Sleeping still," Ryou answered, sighing. Malik snorted, setting the groceries down on the top step and taking a seat. "He said you were up late last night!"
"Yeah, we were! You should've come over last night. It was so much fun! Seto, Tea, Mai, Nolbz, Mokuba, and Dess all stayed the night! It was sooo fun!" Ryou feigned a smile, regret showing in his jade eyes. He hadn't wanted to miss that. Once again, his mother ruined his day! How come Bakura hadn't told him everyone was going to be staying over when he would come through his bedroom window last night? Was it not to make Ryou jealous, knowing he couldn't come? Or… was it because Bakura hadn't wanted him over in the first place?
Ryou really wasn't sure…
"Ryou don't look so sad! We're doing it again tonight at Seto's! Bakura really wanted to go and get you but he thought he should let you sleep. It's not that he didn't want you to come or something like that. Of course he wanted you to come. That way he could have something to cuddle!" Malik said, laughing slightly, patting Ryou on the back.
"So… it's not that he feels sorry for me or hates me or something like that?" Malik furrowed an eyebrow at his self-conscious friend.
"Hell no! Ryou, get it through your head: Bakura is head over heels for you, and as much as you like him, he likes you back. Now stop moping and let's put this stuff away and go and see what everyone's up to!" Ryou smiled, nodded, and got up, heading in after Malik.
-
"Damn I can't believe Bakura's so lazy! He'd rather sit at home in bed than come and show his friends around his hometown! Stupid bastard!" Mariku grumbled, kicking the grass as he headed into the clearing, eyes immediately gazing to the beautiful lake. Sigh; what he wouldn't give to live here…
He was knocked out of his thoughts as yelling echoed through the summer winds, rousing his ears and eyes, making him look down to four figures, two seeming to be gaining on the other two, hands tightly clutched together.
"NO SHE ISN'T!!"
"OH THE HELL SHE ISN'T!"
"DUDE WE SAW YOU, GIVE IT UP!"
"What the hell were you doing with my sister? Don't you ever lay your nasty little hand on her again rich boy!"
Ryou halted, staring down at the feuding four. What was going on?!?
"Let's go see what this is all about!" Malik and Mariku followed as Ryou ran quickly to the dock, footsteps smacking the wood as he ran, yelling growing progressively louder.
"Stay the fuck away!" A blonde screamed, pushing an angered brunette. A teary-eyed girl stood next to him, looking shocked and thoroughly confused, unsure of what to do.
"Joey, Joey please!"
"No Serenity, I won't ever let this asshole touch you like that again! Don't lay your filthy lips on my sister!"
"Dude, how could you do that?!? You're supposed to be my best friend!" Curled fists and a growl emitted from a dark haired pony tailed teen, glaring at the three surrounding him.
"Don't lay your hands on me, Wheeler, if you know what's good for you." A thick voice purred sounding scarier than any yell could've. The hairs on Ryou's back stood up as he edged closer. Yelling wasn't Seto's style; no… Seto did something ten times as frightening as that. He just glared, and hissed venomously at you… gulp. Ryou was so glad he'd never angered him before.
"Guys? What's going on?" Ryou asked softly, eeping as three sets of glares looked upon him.
"Ryou stay out of this! This is between me and Seto!"
"Hell no it isn't; it's between Seto and me!"
"Duke, this is my sister we're talking about!"
"Yeah, and it's the love of MY life!" Ryou stared at the three weirdly, before setting his eyes on the crying girl Serenity.
"I, I don't understand…" Ryou whispered, eyeing Seto questionably. The brunette pushed the blonde back, making him trip.
"Don't ever lay a hand on me, or I swear I'll-"
"Seto please! Leave Joey alone!" Serenity cried, launching herself around hr boyfriend's waist. Seto pushed her away roughly, icy eyes glaring upon her.
"So you're taking your brother's side are you? Well you know what? Screw you too! I should've never bothered, of course you couldn't take this! Just follow your brother like the little bitch you are! Follow the dog, girl; you obviously know what's best for you. It's over." Shocked eyes looked upon the boy, a hand whirling through the air, barely missing Seto's cheek.
"Don't ever fucking talk to my sister like that you creep! I swear I'll, I'll, I'll-" Serenity gasped and took hold of Joey.
"No, don't touch him Joey, don't ever touch him! Seto, I didn't side with him I swear I just, please, don't say that!" Sad ember eyes looked upon the male, silently begging him not to walk away. Seto showed no signs of weakness, nor any indication that he'd even heard the girl pleading for him.
Enough was enough. Serenity was so tired of always being told what to do! Why couldn't she just date whom she wanted without being groped by her brother's two best friends, or constantly badgered by the fact that the two could barely stand each other?
Joey stalked after him, not about to let someone talk to his sister like that! No one messed with a wheeler, and Joey was only too happy to prove that.
"Hey stop! Stop, please! Leave Seto alone, okay? I'm tired of you always fighting with him, and I don't want to be in between you two, but it's ridiculous Joey! You're old enough to give the old grudge up! That was years ago, god! I can't take it anymore! Let me live my own life, and keep your pesky nose out of it, you, you, you… DOG!" Another sob erupted as the brunette ran after her boyfriend, who was currently slamming the door of his pickup. Bewildered honey eyes looked upon his sister. Not only had she hidden the fact that she was seeing Seto Kaiba from him, but she'd jus called him a dog! He blinked n surprise, suddenly feeling guilty, and very low. Maybe Serenity was right; he was just a stupid jerk. Right now he needed therapy, and for him that was going home and tuning out in front of the TV eating away his pains. He stormed off, not even noticing Serenity getting in the car with Seto, and speeding off in the distance. Duke had long ago stalked off in fury, so angry that his BEST FRIEND would date the girl he KNEW he was pursuing for years. Why would Seto ever do something like that, and feel he had to hide it? He heaved a sigh. Whenever down there was only one thing to do; talk to Anzu.
Ryou, Malik, and Mariku looked at each other confusingly and blinked.
"Yeah, I don't know what the hell just went on, but wanna go for a swim?" Ryou and Mariku nodded.
-
"Yeah, I understand Seto. I wouldn't want to either. Yeah, it's okay, I know what you mean. Some other day will work wonders, really. See you later then, and sorry things aren't going so well with Serenity. Are you two really over for good? Or what?" Bakura nodded, a smile playing across his chapped lips.
"Yeah, see you tomorrow then." At that, he hung his phone back up on the receiver and huffed, recovering his head, burrowing into his blankets once more. It was 3:40 pm and he was STILL exhausted. He guessed that was okay though since their little gathering had just been canceled over relationship problems. He still had to find a way to get Ryou to stay over though. Maybe they could make a puppet of him out of pillows and sneak it in the boy's bed or something…
He shrugged. Maybe that wasn't such a good idea, but he needed Ryou to stay over, or he'd just die!
…Well, maybe not die but…
He'd do something. He yawned, reclosing sleepy earthen eyes, trying to enjoy the last few minutes of sleep he was clinging to, trying his hardest to ignore the new voices that echoed through his house. It sounded like five or six people, all sounding especially cheery. Oh god. They were going to jump on him or something, he just knew it. He could've gotten up to avoid being pummeled, but decided his bed was too comfortable, and maybe hi dog would protect him, or something.
Ryou bounced into the room, running onto the bed, taking Bakura in his arms.
"According to my watch its 3:50 pm, and time for you to awake! Get dressed Kura, hurry! Ding dong ditch is no fun if your boyfriend won't even come!" Bakura's eyes widened. He was surprised they'd only sent him in, or rather, Ryou had managed to keep them out.
"You play ding dong ditch?" blankets uncovered his messy hair, eyes meeting Ryou's. The boy smiled and nodded, eyes closing as he moved in closer, pressing a small kiss to Bakura's cheek.
"Of course we do! Malik decided we should go, since there's nothing else to do!"
"Ryou, I'm still tired though…" Ryou huffed.
"What can I do to make you get up?" Bakura analyzed the question seeping through his mind to find a good answer. He smirked.
"Well, I do have a few ideas… but none can g through if you don't spend the night tonight." Ryou smiled.
"I'll find a way okay? Now get up!" Bakura grinned brightly and did as told, grabbing a dirty tee shirt and shorts from the floor, quickly dressing. Hey, clothes were clothes, no matter if they smelled a little weird or not. He slid on black suede sneakers, and his favorite gray sweater, taking Ryou's hand in his.
"Ready!" He leant into kiss Ryou's lips, eyes widening as the boy pressed a hand to them.
"I already told you, brush your teeth Kura! You're breath smells!"
-
"Guys, no! We are not going to ding dong ditch Mayberry!" Ryou huffed, walking right past the house, dragging Nolbz right past it.
"But Ryou, why? It'll only be more fun and I could piss that whore off!" Bakura protested, lagging behind with Moukba, Dess, and Mariku.
"You guys, we could always do another house!" Dess chimed, sparkling blue eyes looking upon the older teenagers. Mariku shook his head.
"No, we've done about everyone else's house in this damn town, now let's do this one!"
"NO!"
"Ryou why?" Ryou gritted his teeth.
"Bakura, you know why." Bakura rolled tawny eyes.
"Oh come on, please? I want to do her house! Please?" Bakura pleaded, looking upon his sweetheart with puppy eyes, begging for a 'yes'. Ryou sighed.
"Fine, but after her, we're done, and we're going out to eat, cause I'm hungry, and you're paying for me Bakura, because you're a jerk." Bakura smirked and gave him a small kiss on the cheek.
"I would've paid for you anyways. Now come on Marik, Nolbz, let's go do it!" The two grinned, nodding and ran up to the house, Nolbz and Bakura creeping down by the side of the big stairway, waiting for Mariku to ring the doorbell and run. Mariku crept up the staircase, making sure, he was soundless, and no one could view him from the windows. He slowly rang the doorbell, immediately running to the railing and jumping off, creeping down into the bushes, hidden from view, or so he hoped.
A slender female answered the door, loud hip-hop music blaring from inside the home, long russet tresses flipped behind a shoulder.
"Hullo? …Um, hullo? Like, if you're just going to run from the door, why did you ring the doorbell? UGH!" The frustrated teen slammed the door, stomping back into the house. Bakura laughed loudly from the side of the stairway, turning red in the face.
"Too funny… Riku, do it again!" he hissed. Mariku grinned and crept back up the stairway, dinging the doorbell once more. This time he stayed put, feet never straying from the small welcome mat on the porch.
Ryou blinked, gazing up worriedly at Bakura.
"Kura, why isn't he moving?!?" Bakura blinked.
"I dunno," he whispered back, eyeing Marik. What was Marik doing?
"Marik get down here!" Bakura hissed, smacking the railing. As Marik was about to reply, the petite girl answered the door.
"Hello?" She asked irritably, eyeing the tall blonde. Hm.. . She'd never seen him before. "Would you please quote ringing the doorbell whoever you are; it's making my mom mad!" Marik snickered, eyeing the brunette haired girl funnily.
"You know, you're kind of ugly." She gasped, eyeing him as if he were crazy.
"Wh-what did you say? I am NOT ugly you, you jerk! Who are you?" Marik shrugged, placing his hands in his pockets.
"None of your business missy, but anyway, that's all I wanted to tell you Mayberry! Night!" He said cheerfully, waving slightly, skipping off the porch.
"But wait, who the hell are you and how do you know who I am?" she asked, running after him. He snapped his head around, grinning.
"Oh, just the guy who wishes he could ruin your life." She stopped dead in her tracks, eyeing him worriedly.
"I-if you come here again, I'll call the police!" Mayberry screamed running back into her house and slamming the door. Mariku cracked up, as did Bakura, who climbed out of the buses hand in hand with Ryou as usual, the others following close behind.
"She must think I'm a stalker or something, stupid creep!" Marik remarked, shaking sharp locks.
"Well, if you can't hide the truth…" Ryou hid a giggle, covering his mouth. Marik glared at him and his smart-aleck boyfriend, rolling his lavender eyes.
"Now let's go eat, I'm friggin hungry!"
-
"I getta sit next to Kura!" Dess screeched as they entered their favorite diner, Bob's Burger Barn, running in and literally jumping onto the benches of their favorite table, all scooting in together. Bakura smiled as he found himself next to Dess and of course, Ryou, across from Mariku, Mokuba, and Nolbert.
"So, who's up for some chili cheese fries?!?" Nolbz exclaimed, grinning down at the delectable item of the menu.
"Oh, MEMEMEMEMEME!!!" Mokuba screeched, hurting the poor ears of Marik.
"Ack, he's a loud one…" the blonde muttered, trying to find something that wasn't a big beefy burger. Sigh; the life of a vegetarian… Bakura smirked, wrapping his arm tightly around Ryou's shoulders, pulling the boy close to him.
"Lean your head on my shoulder!" He sang, grinning as he eyed Ryou. Ryou in return giggled, and did as told, nuzzling into Bakura's neck, smiling brightly as always, happy to have someone to lean on. Marik rolled his eyes.
"You only know that part of the song, I bet you." Bakura nodded.
"But it's totally worth it if it means Ryou will touch me!" Bakura exclaimed, grinning, leaning over to kiss his sweetheart's cheek. Dess smiled, rolling his eyes.
"Do you guys always have to be so gushy?" he teased, turning back to his menu. Ryou blushed softly, bringing his head up to eye Bakura.
"Are we really that bad?" He asked, scratching his head. Marik, Dess, Nolbz and Mokuba nodded.
"You're even worse than when I started dating Malik! You remember Bakura? That kid was SPRUNG! He would NOT quit calling me, and he wouldn't stop fawning over me and batting his eyelashes, the little creep!" Dess, Nolbz, and Mokuba laughed.
"Pfft. Please; as if you were any better! You couldn't even sleep you thought about him so much! You constantly talked about him, though it was always cursing him out like that, and just these obvious things Marik, please, the kid never left your mind! I even saw your papers! Malik was written on them, you couldn't get him out of your head, dumbass," Bakura corrected, frowning slightly. Ryou smiled softly, wrapping his arms around Bakura, and relaying his head on his shoulder.
"Sounds sweet." Bakura smiled, running his hands over Ryou's smooth, silken arms, kissing his forehead. Mariku rolled his eyes, hiding behind his menu. SO he had been a 'little' crazy when Malik and he had started dating, so what? He knew they couldn't possibly have been as bad as Ryou and Bakrua were.
"Gah, why is everyone so in love these days? It's like a love bug has come around and bitten everyone!" Mokuba ranted, sighing.
"It's not a bug; it's more like a three eyed gay alligator…" Nolbz muttered, flicking at a piece of paper. Bakura glared at him, swatting the brunette in the head.
"Well, we can't all be as lucky as me," he said modestly, snickering. Ryou blushed slightly, nuzzling into Bakura's shoulder again, kissing the boy's neck softly, happy to be so adored.
"Bakura, you're such a wuss. I can just see Ryou and you two years from now. You'll be in an apron baking him cookies and obeying his every command, practically panting at his feet. Admit it Bakura, Ryou has you wrapped!" Marik exclaimed, smirking. Bakura snorted, kissing the top of Ryou's head.
"You say that as if it's a bad thing." Ryou giggled, leaning up to kiss his boyfriend's cheek.
"I don't think you're an apron person, I see you in more of a dress!" Bakura pouted, glaring at the snickering boys.
"I'll get you for that you little punk, you." Ryou smiled, closing his eyes and snuggling closer again as the other three sighed and went to order. They were getting sick of all the damn fluff those two were producing.
"I don't care, as long as you're with me, nothing matters."
