More Than That

Here is my first songfic based on the song More Than That by the Backstreet Boys!

Tears of a child

A swift hand came down and slapped the boy across the face, leaving a red slap mark on his face. The younger one cried.

I can see that you've been crying

You can't hide it with a lie...

Bakura grinned and pulled the boy up from the ground "Have you had enough Ryou?"Ryou gulped and tried holding back the tears "Y-y-yes..."Bakura dropped the boy on the ground and walked away.

What's the use in you denying

For what you had was wrong...

Ryou scrambled to his feet, holding the swollen right cheek in his hand, while tears plastered his delicate face. Marik came rushing in, a look of worry on his tan face "What happened Ryou?"Ryou gulped the tears back "Bakura..."struck me..."he showed the older one his swollen cheek. Marik's eyes grew wide "Oh my Ra..."

I heard him promise you forever

But forever's come and gone

Baby he would say whatever

It takes to keep you blind

Tell the truth between the lines...

Marik got up and carried Ryou bridal style up the stairs into his room and laid him down on the bed, kissing his warm face "All will be okay, I will protect you sweet Ryou.."Ryou smiled faintly at his friend "I sure hope so...""I will return angel.."at these words Marik rushed downstairs to Bakura "Why did you hit Ryou across the face like that!"Bakura turned and raised a brow at him "He deserved it...he wouldn't listen to me..."he grinned. Marik frowned at the silver-haired boy "That's not a reason to hurt him like that!"he growled. Bakura laughed lowly "I can do what I want fool!"Marik raised his hand and swiftly slapped Bakura across the face "That's what you get for hurting Ryou for all these years!"at that Marik stormed out of the kitchen.
I will love you more than that

I won't say the words

Then take them back

Don't give loneliness a chance

Listen to me when I say

I will love you more than that...

Bakura put a hand on his cold face and growled lowly "How dare he strike me..."Bakura grabbed a knife and threw it at a wall. Marik ran upstairs accompanied by Yami, Yugi and Mariku. Ryou sat up and smiled at his friends "Hi guys.."Yugi ran over to Ryou and hugged him tightly "Oh Ryou, why does Bakura have to do this to you.."he cried onto the others chest. Ryou petted his hair lightly "I don't know Yugi, I don't know..."he hugged the shorter boy back tightly and sobbed into his hair.
