Simply Perfect

/still flashback/

We exited the now deserted classroom and headed towards the main hall, which let to the cafeteria, still completely unaware of what's waiting for us just around the corner.

I suddenly started wondering where Yami was, since he sort of abandoned us and sprinted out of the classroom like that.

As we were walking down the almost empty hall with the exception of the few students who were already leaving, I started hearing some faint, indistinct noises.

Now usually, it's not like me to go and wonder about something so meaningless, especially if food awaits, but some strange, inner instinct told me that I should check it out. And boy, do I wish now that I hadn't!

"Do you hear that?" I asked.

"Hear what?' Yugi responded with a slight curiosity in his voice. "I don't hear anything."

"You're just imagining things, Jounouchi." Marik said mockingly. He still didn't favor the idea of calling me Joey. After a while he continued, "Are you high, or something?"

"Shhhh, quiet, love. I can hear it too." Said Malik as we started to listening, and moved closer to the direction from which the sounds were coming from …. It sounded like …moaning.

"It sounds like it's coming from that room." Said Ryou observantly as Yugi slightly squeezed his hand.

As we started moving towards what seemed like the Arts classroom which was usually empty during lunch, the noises started to get louder.

It sounded like two indistinct, and yet strangely familiar voices, and a partial moaning. As we all surrounded the classroom door, I was standing beside Marik and Malik, who were now listening with much interest. Those pervs!

Unexpectedly, Marik opened the sliding door, and there we observed a sight that I am till this day unable to erase from my mind. Sitting next to Tristan seemed like sunflowers after this.

We all stared in surprise as we saw Yami who was currently pinned against the wall by Bakura who was ravishing his nipples, so lost in pleasure that they both didn't even notice us standing just a few feet away.

"What the fuck?" yelped Yugi. Now all eyes were averted to the precious, kind, little Yugi who didn't seem so . . . innocent? Either way, none of us knew what to be more amazed about. Yugi cursing or . . .

"OH SHIT," Yami shouted loudly. "Yu-gi, J-Joey, M-Ma-rik what . . .

"We all know our names, Yami, thank you very much. Now would you please care to explain what you are doing?" Yugi said with lots of anger, surprise and hurt.

Yami blushed furiously as he picked up his shirt from the floor and started to put it on.

Bakura, who was standing beside Yami protectively, did not seem to be anyhow affected by the situation except for the wrath now clouding his eyes. That wrath was directed towards us, probably because we interrupted whatever they were doing earlier. Right now, unlike Yugi, I was completely emotionless. The aftershock always came later for me.

"What do you think we were doing, you little…!" Bakura started, but was interrupted by Yami, who was now fully clothed, "Bakura, stop it!"

"Yugi, I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier, I'm sorry you all had to find out like this…." Yami said apologetically, starting to blush again. We couldn't see his entire figure, since he was still shielded by Bakura who was giving out a deadly glare.

That didn't seem to stop Yugi as he continued, "Well, you're right, my dear Yami, it would have been very nice of you if you sort of mentioned it to the rest of us! Why didn't you tell me that…that…you and Bakura were…."

"We're lovers." Said Bakura forcefully, and filled in all the remaining blanks. It was all clear and out on the table now.

"Ha, ha, ha ….. lovers...ha..you and the pharaoh..ha, ha.. this is hilarious! Marik laughed almost immediately. "This is really hysterical!"

Bakura jumped on Marik furiously, beating him with his fist. And as always, Malik was out to save his love. Bakura and Marik fought constantly, not too seriously of course, but seriously enough to knock each other out. And right now, Bakura was mad for more reasons than one.

The room suddenly turned as silent as a grave, as Yugi's angry and hurt eyes looked up and met Yam's once again, radiating dark aura. He then said with an unusually serious voice and a bit of sarcasm even, "It is such a shame, Yami, that you don't trust your closest friend."

With that, he stomped out of the room, not seen by Yami for a long while.

/end of flashback/

And that is how we discovered the relationship between Bakura and Yami. Of course Yugi forgave Yami after a while. I think what hurt him the most was that Yami didn't trust him as he himself said. They fortunately got to talk it all out. Yami confessed how much he really loved Bakura, and that Bakura loved him with equal passion, even though he never admitted it in front of us.

Eventually, we accepted Bakura into our group and he became a good friend, even though he's still quite scary. Yami and Bakura became a couple out in the open, and we were back to being our old selves without any secrets, excluding one person. They did not hold a secret, I did now.

My thoughts flashed back to reality, where Bakura now finished his 'evil Bakura laugh practice' (he still kept up his image) and was now impatiently waiting for me to snap out of my thoughts.

"Helloooou…?" he called. "Earth to Joey. What's up with you?" he said as he seemed to elaborate on that for a second, and than smirked saying, "Ahhh, I get it…. Thinking about your boyfriend, are we?"

I turned bright red and stared at him with disbelief. "My boyfriend? What the heck are you talking about?"

"No need to be upset", he smirked for the millionth time. He looked at me again from head to toe. "Well don't stand there and act like you don't know what I'm talking about. I see how you look at your beloved Seto Kaiba. If you're going to hide it, try to be a little more inconspicuous. Maybe Yami doesn't notice, but that's because he's soooo into me. As for me, I'm a thief, so I notice everything."

I sighted deeply, there was no use covering it up. Especially from Bakura.

"You love him, don't you?" I said after a while.

His smirk turned to a very confused and horrified look. "Who, Kaiba? EEEUUUU! Is you crazy!" he yelled in disgust. Even though he was a thief, he wasn't very bright, was he?

"No, I mean Yami." I said.

His features turned soft, and he looked away, blushing for the first time since I've known him.

"Y-Yes, of c-course I do." He responded truthfully.

I smiled warmly. It was so sweet what they had. What I always wished to have.

He suddenly shifted his face closer to mine and said, while giving me his 'extremely intimidating eyebrow thing', "Tell anyone about this and die."

I ignored his threat and went on, "You know, I wish we could have what you guys have." I looked sadly at him, while he was giving me a surprised stare in return.

"If you do something about it, maybe you will. I did, and look what I have now." He answered with placid expressions on his face. Typical Bakura answer. 'You must fight till the end to get what you want.' Unfortunately, I wasn't as strong and confident as him.

"Don't give up," he said solemnly, "don't ever give up." This was getting weird now. Having Bakura tell me about things you must do in order to get what you want is one thing, but he was actually giving me a kind and friendly advice.

Not wanting to ruin it by my disarray, I said gratefully, "Thanks a lot Bakura." And even though I knew Bakura couldn't stand hugs from anyone else except Yami, I took my chances and hugged him closely.

Bewildered by this he slightly hugged me back as I asked remembering, "Bakura what did you come after me for?"

"Oh," Bakura responded, pulling away and collecting himself again. "The stupid teacher wanted me to give you this; I think you left it there." I looked down and saw a small black, leather book. I gasped in bewilderment. How could I have left it there? Everything important that I have is in there. Like my drawings, and picture of Serenity and I, my mother, and even …. Seto.

I eyed Bakura suspiciously. Seeing this he said, "What, don't trust me still? The lock is still there, I didn't open your stupid book." Bakura became saddened and annoyed by the fact that I didn't trust him.

"I'm sorry Bakura. It's just that I have my most important things there, and I usually don't just leave it anywhere and….."

"Okay, okay you're forgiven. Just shut up already." He said irritated. Now that sounds more like Bakura. "So, are you going to go to the main guy?" (Bakura called the headmaster 'the main guy'. He never remembered what he actually was called.)

"I don't really have a choice. Besides, unlike Mrs.Kazumi, he's nice. Last time I went to him we drank black tea with lemon cookies." I said happily.

"No way! I should visit him sometime." He said. (If you think Bakura didn't go to the headmaster because he never got in trouble, you're wrong. He doesn't go because he just doesn't.) "Okay, cool. I have to go. I think Yami might be getting worried if I don't come back. Than, you know…we get into a fight, and I end up not getting any for a bloody week." He explained grumpily. I laughed a bit.

"Okay, see ya, Bakura." I heard an incoherent 'bye' from him as I swung open the hallway door and headed down to the office, thinking about all the things Bakura said.

'I won't give up, Bakura. I promise. I won't give up.'
