Kaiba crushed his can in his hand and threw it into the trashcan as Ryou downed the rest of his soda.

Seto paced while Baukra watched him from the edge of his bed.

"It was cool of you, earlier, you know, when you came and stood in the rain with me." Seto lifed his eyes to meet Ryou's. "Do you like the rain?" He cocked his head slightly, with an innocent little smile on his face.

Ryou smiled and let his head fall back a little. "I looove the rain... it's so pretty. It's kind of amazing how it can make something as crazy as a huge city seem so peaceful, ya know?" He laughed at himself, slightly embarassed. "Or maybe that's just me."

"No, I get what you mean. See, come with me." He grabbed his trenchcoat off the bed and headed for the sliding doors. Ryou tilted his head slightly, threw his can in the trash, and followed him.

Seto stopped abruptly when they reached the door.

"What's wrong, Seto?"

"Put this inside." His harshness startled himself as well as Bakura. Then, he started crying. "Please," he said through sobs." I mean Please put this inside." He dropped the coat on the floor next to his feet and sunk down with his head in his hands.

Ryou leaned over to pick up the coat, but Seto's hand stopped him.

"I'm sorry. It's just, I'm used to people only listening to me when i give orders like that." he sobbed slightly.

"It's... it's okay Seto. P-Please don't cry, you'll make me cry too." Ryou said this with a slight laugh in an attempt to cheer Seto up. He just sobbed again and ran his fingers through his hair. Bakura kneeled down next to him and lifted his chin up with a finger. "Don't cry..." He restested his forehead against Seto's and looked into his deep eyes.

"I feel so small like this." he spoke quietly, with a strange eagerness in his voice. "It kinda feels like you can see into me." He looked down, and then back up into Ryou's eyes. "It feels like no one ever really listens to me. Except...except you."

He searched Ryou's face for anysign of... anything really, and Ryou just closed his eyes and smiled. Seto tilted his head upwards and leaned up, his lips just barely brushing Ryou's. He turned his head away and sighed.

"What's wrong?"

Seto's voice was shaky as he spoke. "I just... I used to feels so alone, I'm a teenager and I already have to run a whole freaking company! No one knows what it's like! I just... feel so alone." He started to turn away. So that's what he's been hiding... lonliness...

"You're not alone," Bakura spoke cautiously. "You have me." Seto turned his head and looked at Ryou.

"W-What?"

"I said... you have me. " Their eyes locked, and there was no breaking that lock. Ryou blinked, and leaned in very slowly. Seto pushed himself up with his legs and felt the fortune in his pocket up against his leg.

"Love is right in front of you. Reach out and grab it."

His instincts beat his mind, and his arms shot up and pulled Ryou into the kiss. He took a sharp breath and kissed back with all his might, never wanting the moment to end. His heart sped up, to the point that he thought it was going to explode. Ryou's arms wrapped around Seto as he slid into his lap and stayed there.

He was cradled, yet he held onto Seto in a way that kept him safe. I feel so small... and loved. sigh i finally feel loved.

He smiled and kissed Bakura quickly and repeatedly. He's mine... Ryou's wprds ran through his head. "You have me." His heart jumped and flipped a few times. He's all mine.

The kiss ended as they both pulled away. Ryou snuggled into Seto's shoulder as they melted into eachother.

"And you have me."
