As a quick reminder of the previous chappie, Bakura asked Ry on a date to see Jimmy Eat World (how immense would that be? I-heart- them!) and they went on a date to the cinema, where little Ryou had a goodnight kiss, aww.

"so he kissed you then"
The boy squealed in delight down the phone, lying on his back staring at the ceiling and twirling the cord round his fingers, "it was immense"
There was a chuckle from the receiver, "tell me tomorrow, I'm going to bed"
"night" after placing the phone on the wooden bedside cabinet, Ryou sighed heavily and rolled over. Shutting his eyes it was as if he could feel Bakura's arm around him all over again.
Ryou rubbed his eyes as he walked into the kitchen the next morning. A fuzzy image of his sister in her 'wonder woman' pyjamas was infront of him, as his focus came back he could see clearly the coffee mug in her hands and her fuzzy slipped tapping on the floor.
"so, you're up late"
"I know" the boy yawned, sitting on one of the stools at the breakfast bar, "where were you the other night"
"college party, stayed the night" she sat opposite him, sliding a mug of sweet tea across the counter, "so yes, why are you up so late, it's unlike you"
her brother took a sip of the tea, blushing instantly, "I was out on a date, and when I got home I was on the phone to Thelms"
Amane smirked, "a date eh? What's her name"
"his name" Ryou corrected, "Bakura. His name's Bakura"
"ah…well, where did you go"
he shrugged, "the movies, we're going out again tonight"
she grunted a response, "I wanted you to stay here with me actually, but I guess that's thwarted"
"ha!" Ryou exclaimed, standing up, grabbing a slice of toast and leaving the room, "I guess it very well is"
It was another lovely day out, Ryou just couldn't believe he had to spend it stuck indoors tutoring Malik. Since the pair had become friends, it seemed so unbelievable that Malik needed both his and Thelma's help in almost every subject and have work together, but still have time to hang out. Typical.
Knocking on the door of the flat, Ryou waited a good few minutes before the familiar Egyptian boy answered the door, smiling sleepily and gesturing the whitenette inside. Ryou slid off his coat and converse, hugging his textbooks to his chest before advancing to the livingroom where a big space had been made on the floor for them to sit and work.
Malik sat cross legged and pointed at a highlighted paragraph from one of the textbooks he already had out,
"See this" he complained, stabbing it with the pencil, "this is the most difficult thing I've ever seen"
Chocolate brown eyes rolled in their sockets, "Malik, this isn't difficult, it's the Sine and Cosine rules, look, you need help working it"
He nodded hopelessly.
"I don't know how Thelma can tolerate you, I really don't"
"likewise…but please, just show me how it works"
Ryou breathed in deeply and shook his head before scribbling down in his intricate handwriting how to do the problem. Malik followed it with his eyes, nodding every so often to show his understanding.
"right, get it now"
"uh huh" a tanned hand then flipped a few pages, "how about this, you know how to do this"
"box plots?" good grief I remember teaching him this a couple weeks ago. Forgotten already. "I just don't understand"
"clearly…we'll be here all damn day"
Malik looked at his friend, violet eyes screaming child like innocence, "c'mon Ry, I need you, please"
The other boy sighed in defeat, "alright, but I'm leaving early"
"why"
a hand slapped to his forehead and Ryou shuddered, "I have a date"
"you! A date! Wow…I didn't think that could happen"
Ryou snorted, "yes, it's very possible Malik, me and him are going to see a gig"
"what kind of gig? Some sappy emo music or dance worthy indy rock?" "it's Jimmy Eat World" the teenager sighed heavily, "they're good"
"I won't comment" the basketball player added, "but don't let it get too intimate"
"how do you mean?" he asked, clearly confused.
"just, don't get too up close and personal, you don't know what kind of guy he could turn out to be"
Ryou laughed heartily and went back to scribbling in the jotter, "Malik, Bakura's nice, he wouldn't"
"just be careful"
Ryou walked home that night with thoughts buzzing through his mind. All the knowledge seemed to have been pushed out of Malik's brain and into his, he felt like he could solve anything given to him, except the whole dating game. The boy was still freaking out about it. What to wear, and now thanks to Malik, the possibility of something other than a sweet goodnight kiss. Never would it happen, never would he let it.
The front door was locked. Ryou grunted and struggled in his pocket to find his keys. Amane had gone out, so much for –I wish you were staying home Ry- ch.
With a bang, the front door hit the wall and Ryou strode in, putting his books down in order to slide the jacket and converse off. Taking a long gaze in the mirror he sighed out and pondered on the state of his appearance.
"to change or not to change, questionable" he muttered, biting into a gleaming red apple and jogging up the stairs into his bedroom.
"fallout boy for a jimmy eat world gig, maybe not the best choice of clothes"
rifling through his wardrobe, Ryou took out many band tees and threw them on the bed, none would do and a jimmy eat world shirt itself might look too posy, or it might in Bakura's mind, it seemed pretty logical to him. "this"
the 16-year-old held a rich brown three quarter length shirt against his torso, smiling in approval then gazing down. Would those jeans really do? Changing into the fresh shirt, Ry decided the jeans would do, it was only a gig afterall.
"brush, rinse, smile" Ryou said to himself as he shoved the peppermint gel covered toothbrush into his mouth, scrubbing away then removing the mixture, swirling some water in his mouth then smiling at his reflection.
"pearly white" the boy giggled, "nice and fresh and kissable…good grief, I'm never saying that again"
So the clock struck ten to eight. Ryou shivered as a car pulled up outside. Sprinting to the window in the landing, the boy peeped out cautiously only to find Bakura walking up the path looking rather hot in tight leather trousers and a very open black shirt revealing a silver nipple ring along with a tattoo just under it. The schoolboy tried not to drool.
Opening the front door Ryou smiled as his date leant against the porch door, "ready to go kiddo"
Ryou locked the front door, "ready"
