Expenses And Consequences
Today's slogan brought to you by SilverWing147, her review of Chapter 43. It has been altered slightly to fit this fandom.
"'My hikari said he'd leave me if I send one more person to the Shadow Realm. Ra, I'm going to miss him.'"
Ryou sniggered at the look on his lover's face as he read the bumper sticker's message aloud.
Crumpling the sticky-backed paper in his hand, Bakura growled, "This isn't funny, Ryou."
"That's what you always say," Ryou dismissed.
"They're implying our relationship is unstable," Bakura said pointedly, hoping to appeal to his hikari's need for 'romance' in his life.
Ryou just cocked one snow-white brow at his koi. "You'll have to do better than that, yami," he rebuked, tsking reprovingly.
Scowling, Bakura said, "What is it with you? Someone makes a joke at your expense, and you're all set to pound on them, but as long as it's my ass on the line, you laugh your head off."
Ryou smirked lecherously. "And what a very fine ass it is," he purred, one hand palming one denim-covered curve of flesh. This action caused an unforeseen reaction, one never before witnessed by the young teen – Bakura blushed. Red.
Very red.
Several minutes ticked by as Ryou fought to control his mirth. Finally Bakura sputtered, "Ano…er…arigato?"
Ryou couldn't help it – he snickered.
Bakura's glare was rendered cute by the fact that not only was he still slightly flushed, but he was also doing his best 'I'd like to just melt right through the floor' impression.
"Saa, c'mon, 'Kura, how 'bout I help you get revenge, ne?" Ryou offered, knowing that anything more said on this topic was likely to make Bakura's face try and burn itself off again.
Bakura nodded hesitantly, cheeks still painted a mortified pink. "Sounds good," he admitted guardedly.
Ryou grinned widely. "And once we're done, I can show you how…fine…I think your ass is." He turned towards the bedroom, laughing at the look on Bakura's face.
Once again, the yami blushed. This time, however, he also got mad – and chased after his hikari. "Come back here, you!" he shouted.
Ryou shrieked with laughter and sped off down the hall. Somehow, he got the feeling his ass was the one on the line this time.
