Goodnight Kiss (word count: 281) by Dragyn
The sound of soft footsteps climbing the stairs slunk down the hall.
A blue pajama shirt suddenly found itself midair as Ryou abandoned struggling with it in favor of diving for his bed. He landed as gently as possible, knowledge that anything more than one squeaky spring would give him away lending him grace. Maybe, just maybe -- he yanked the covers over himself and wriggled to make them look natural -- if Bakura thought he was asleep, he'd leave!
Ryou went limp and slammed his eyes shut milliseconds before the door slid open. The soft brush of air informed him his impending moment of reckoning. Footsteps moved slowly into the room, tapping across the wooden floor then vanishing into his cream-colored throw-rug. Ryou forced his breathing to come slow and even.
All hope plummeted as the hush of Bakura's clothing informed Ryou's ears that his Yami was bending over him. A myriad of imagined responses at seeing through his ruse rushed through Ryou's brain, jeopardizing the iron control it exerted over his limp body.
"Sleep well, hikari," the voice should have been sharp enough to cause a flinch but was surprisingly gentle instead. Was Bakura toying with him? Did he know?
The next he knew something soft touched his lips. Bakura's lips? Ryou's eyes flew open involuntarily and it was luck only that saved him, for Bakura's were closed.
His eyes safely sealed again Ryou listened as Bakura straightened and strode to the door. A sigh of relief caught in his throat as steps ceased. "Hikari, tomorrow evening put your shirt on instead of throwing it. Otherwise I may be tempted to more then just kissing you in your 'sleep'."
