Normal POV

The sunlight filtered through the slightly opened window, making the light- haired boy lying on the bed stir. He groaned; the throbbing pain in his temples was far from gone. It had been exactly like this every morning since that night… head still pounding, stomach still churning and body completely weak. He tried to lift his head but the futile act was in vain, only causing him to have a bump on the already- too- painful- to- bear- headache that he had. He bit back an agonized moan, fearful that he might wake up-
"You awake?"
Too late. He slowly raised his hand and in an instant, it was being held by two slightly larger, rougher hands… hands as pale as death… almost just like his. He opened his sleepy eyes, only to find another set of worn-out eyes just like his, staring at him very keenly. He smiled at his weary spectator, sitting beside his bed. "Yeah," he finally answered, smiling again as he did so, making the other melt into a puddle of goop.
"You okay?" the other one croaked out, his voice breaking. Obviously, the lack of sleep was getting to him… as was the lack of food…
"Yeah…"
Look," the older one started, "Ry, I'm sorry…"
"Bakura-sama, there's no need to apologize to me," the one in the bed assured Bakura. "It's okay now," he added quietly.
"Ryou,… I'm …I'm sorry okay? I… I'll try to be… to be… to be better than this… I really really-" he was silenced by Ryou when the hikari put a slender finger to the darker one's lips.
"I said no need 'Kura… I've already forgiven you."
"But yadonushi-"
"I've already forgotten about it," he stated, as he shifted a bit to face his yami.
Ryou closed his eyes as more sunlight peeked into the room. Bakura, sensing his koi's discomfort, got up and stretched his sleeping limbs, yawning cutely (5) all the while. He decided that he indeed needed some rest… but he couldn't leave his little tenshi alone. "N- no sleep again tonight, I guess," he murmured groggily to himself as he crossed the now half-lit room to close the window. He decided against it at the last minute though, and simply settled for pulling the curtains together to block the sunlight. He made his way back to the bedside, swaying unsteadily on his feet.
"Better?" he asked the yawning tenshi.
"Yes,… thanks Kura," said Ryou as he was opening his wide brown eyes.
Silence
"Ryou, get some sleep… you need to rest," ordered Bakura as Ryou tried to sit up right. Ryou merely pouted at him.
"But I don't need rest," protested the stubborn hikari stifling a yawn. "I'm fine now, see?" and to prove what he said he tried to stand up, only to make himself fall back down on the bed. He winced, and Bakura just smirked at him.
"You are still too weak to do anything, yadonushi," Bakura said as he patted Ryou's head.
"Am not," argued the ever so willful Ryou.
"Are too," retorted the ex- tomb robber.
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"You' re sooooo mean," said the tenshi as he poked his yami's chest. Bakura just smiled and shook his head.
"It's for your own good."
"I know."
Yes, ever since the incident happened, this has always been the situation in the Bakura household. The previously evil yami of the Sennen Ring was now taking care of his newly found koi. Ryou was surprised, to say the least at first, but he grew delighted as time passed. Bakura didn't hit him anymore; on the contrary, his yami pampered him in everyway possible. Ryou loved the sudden change of his darker half's heart but even though he wouldn't admit it out loud, he missed the old Bakura…
The real Bakura
The sadistic Bakura
The I'll- beat- the- hell- out- of- you- you- punk Bakura
His Bakura…
I think I may be a masochist… Ryou thought as he once more satred at his other half
"So… get some rest," his yami said as he leaned down, "you need to get your strength back, love," and kissed his lighter half's cheek, hands entangling themselves on his silky white hair. Ryou blushed, making the spirit smile more.
"Bakuraaaaa," moaned the hikari as said yami kissed his way down his koi's neck. Bakura bit at Ryou's neck, just below his ear, placing a small love bite there. He nipped at the flesh hard, making the sweet sour blood trickle out. He licked at the wound, savoring his tenshi's special taste, making the boy beneath him mewl out for more. He licked the cut clean; sucking and nipping to his hearts content while his frail lover moan some more, responding to every single one of his yami's administrations. Bakura yearned for more… he loved every moment of their contact, skin on skin…
Bakura broke away, all too suddenly. Ryou let out a disappointed groan, wanting nothing else but to taste his dark lover, craving nothing else but to continue. He has been dreaming of this… he has been wanting this for kami knows how long… and the tenshi knew that his other half has too,… but why stop now?
Feeling Ryou's frustration, Bakura whispered to his ear, "We should wait… you're not strong enough, I… I might hurt you…"
"But Kuraaa… I've been waiting for this," Ryou answered back.
Bakura smiled.
His hikari was ready.
At least mentally and emotionally ready.
"No, not yet Ry," he held him closer, "we can't just yet. You'll have to be more patient koi," he whispered as he kissed Ryou's ear, his expert tongue tracing every curve, making Ryou gasp and moan. He mentally smiled at his little Ryou. He tastes and sounds beautiful!
He bit Ryou's earlobe, making the boy mewl even louder… making the boy hunger for more. 'Yes,' he thought, 'moan for me my beautiful hikari!' he bit Ryou harder, causing him to arch his pack in pleasurable pain. Bakura wanted more… so much more… but he couldn't… just yet…
Not yet…
But soon…
Bakura pulled back. Ryou, although still a bit confused, knew that his beloved yami was doing it for him, whatever it was. He smiled nonetheless, and put on this gesture all the love he had for his Bakura (1). He cupped his yami's exquisite face with his tiny effeminate hands. Bakura did nothing but sit there, watching his light, dumbstruck at Ryou's sudden actions. Ryou lifted himself and seated his body next to Bakura, making the said astonished spirit blink a few times. He leaned in and captured his soul mate's lips with his, placing a chaste kiss on his dark lover's lips.
Bakura realized the action just as Ryou was pulling away, and quickly put his arms around his hikari, deepening the kiss…
Tongues lashing out at each other, they battled for dominance. Ryou wasn't about to give up but Bakura had the upper hand… he always has the upper hand. Needless to say, Bakura won; he slid his needy tongue inside Ryou's awaiting mouth, licking the boy's cavern, tasting, memorizing everything that Ryou had to offer… he felt so good; kissing his light felt so right (2)…
Ryou…
His Hikari…
His aibou
His light…
His soulmate…
His…
Air became a great issue and the two parted reluctantly. Bakura looked at his little koi, melting under the loving gaze his Ryou was giving him. Not knowing what else there was to do; he hugged Ryou, pulling him, drawing him closer. Bakura buried his nose in his lover's bushy, semi- tamed hair, inhaling his pleasing aroma (3). "I love you, Ry."
Ryou was blushing – hard. He never expected Bakura's actions. Sure, he has been fantasizing about him… but to actually have Bakura do it was almost… almost…
Almost impossible…
Almost unattainable…
Almost…
The tenshi smiled, though. He leaned in closer and murmured into Bakura's ear… "I love you, too, Bakura…"
Bakura smiled and sighed. He was very relieved to hear Ryou say it. The thought has been bothering him- that Ryou loved that Ra- damned Kaiba, not him. But his fears were somehow diminished by his light just now. Knowing that Ryou loved him was the happiest thought, the happiest piece of information his cerebrial cortex has ever processed in his very prolonged life (4) on earth. He praised the gods above for his fortune. And when he thought things couldn't get any better, he felt the slow, regular breathing of his little light. He smiled… he seemed to be doing that often, now that he and Ryou were together… he yawned, and then laid next to his hikari as he felt sleep nagging at his conscious… "Yes, sleep's good," was his last thought before he slumped down beside Ryou and joined him in a very peaceful slumber…
Unaware that in a not so far away mansion, something of a very important, albeit distant, relevance to them was happening…

1 Whoa! Ryou's getting possessive!
2 uh, I didn't know how that got there! I'm telling you! I seriously don't know!
3 so what? I ran out of synonymous words! Waaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!
4 I've always wanted to say that… but no… the silly part of my head that always says I- can't- do- this- because- blah- blah- blah said I couldn't do so because people would have laughed at me…. Nyeh!
