"So what do you want on the pizza?"

"Meat."

Even though I was in their storeroom I could hear the smirk in his voice. Did he honestly expect to say veggie or some shit!

"Any particular kind?"

"Anything but those little fish."

"Alright, how about a meat special and a Hawaiian style?"

"Works for me. Hey Yugi, who put up this shelf?"

He came into the storage room, phone in hand while dialing a number.

"Which one?"

"This one."

I pointed to the newest looking shelf that was already pulling out from the wall. It looked about ready to fall without anything on it.

"Oh, Atemu did that right before he left. Why?"

"Its crap. I'm surprised it hasn't taken someone out already."

"I know, but I have no idea how to put one in and grandpa's back won't take doing it."

Bloody great! Figures it always comes down to me. Took me over a year to get everything fixed and working correctly at Ryou's house, at least I learned how to deal with all these new things and more importantly fix them. I was very grateful Ryou's father had purchased one of those book series on fixing things, not only were they helpful on that but the two about wiring helped more than Ryou knows.

"Where is the tool kit?"

"Why?"

"Cause I'm not going to spoon feed my boyfriend after Atemu's shitty excuse for carpentry brains him."

He told me where I could find the tool kit, thankfully the storage shed out back wasn't too much of a mess. I dug out the tool box and made sure it had everything, only pliers seemed to be missing so I shouldn't have any trouble. I walked back into the shop as Yugi hung up the phone.

"Pizzas are ordered."

"Great. So where do you want the shit on the shelf?"

"Let me see what is there."

It only took us a few minutes to clear the shelf since I had taken everything heavy off of it the other day when the shipment had come in. I shooed him out as I began to dismantle it, I wasn't planning to let anything fall but it looked as though this shelf was holding on only by a prayer to begin with. Sure enough I had it halfway down when the other half gave, I caught it so nothing ended up broken. Inspecting how it was put up told me the whole story, damn Atemu didn't know how to do anything that wasn't a game! He had put the screws directly into the drywall, bet he didn't even bother to look for a support, nor did he put those drywall anchors Malik had taught me about. I checked the damage to the wall, thankfully minimal, and started checking for studs. He only missed them by six inches, way to go Atemu, putz.

"How is it going in here?"

"Considering Atemu put this together, not bad."

"That bad huh?"

"Do you have any drywall patch?"

"Yeah, I'll get it."

He left and I set about dismantling the shelf itself. It looked fairly stable but I still wasn't trusting to that. Sure enough he used small screws that had barely even gone into the wood.

Yugi came back with the drywall patch at that time and looked over my shoulder.

"Aren't you supposed to use wood screws or something?"

"If you had half a functioning brain, yes."

"I found the patch, hope there is enough."

He looked at the wall, grimacing before digging through the tool box and opening the patching compound.

"How about I patch this mess while you fix that?"

"What about sorting out that stuff?"

"Well since most of it will be going on this shelf, not much point."

I took the hint and finished taking said shelf apart, this time using the correct screws to keep it together. That didn't take long, so after that I marked the studs out and waited for Yugi to finish. Okay, truth be told waiting consisted of me planting soft kisses on Yugi's neck and blowing softly on his ears.

"Kurrrrraaaaa."

"Hmmm?"

"Your not making this any easier."

"Am I supposed to be?"

"Done!"

"Done?"

"The wall, all patched so now you can finish."

With that said he gave me the most innocent smile, it just wasn't natural, and slipped from my arms and into the other room. It didn't take long and I had the shelf up, level and secure this time. As I was putting the tools away I heard Yugi's grandpa return.

"Back with pizzas!"

"Great!"

I debated on coming right out but my natural curiosity and thief instincts held my feet fast.

"Where is Bakura?"

"He is fixing that shelf that Atemu put up."

"Oh thank Kami! I was certain that shelf was going to fall any day now."

"Why didn't you say anything to me?"

"Do you know how to hang one?"

"No."

"Exactly! I thought I would have to hire someone to come in and fix that and the roof."

"What is wrong with the roof?"

"Last rainstorm it was leaking in my room and the kitchen."

I figured now would be a good time to come out.

"I don't feel like doing it tonight so I guess I can climb up and check it out tomorrow."

Solomon's jaw just about hit the floor as I sat the tool box on the counter.

"You know how to fix roofs?"

"Had to fix a couple spots on Ryou's, not to mention Malik and I just about had to rebuild the roof on the garage before we could park our bikes in it."

"I'm sorry, I just hadn't expected.."

"Me to know how to fix roofs? Know how to work?"

I would have continued except Yugi stepped on my foot, course by that point Solomon was already glaring at me.

"I was going to say so willing to help."

"How about we go upstairs and eat?"

Yugi grabbed my hand and practically dragged me up to the kitchen table. His grandpa bringing the pizzas up after us.

Once up there Yugi pulled out some plates and handed them to me while he went to the fridge to get drinks.

"What do you want Kura?"

"Got any"

"No we don't have beer."

"Damn, well then whatever."

He came back with three sodas and set them in their respective places while Solomon set down the two large pizzas.

"Do you drink often Bakura?"

"Only when its available."

Judging from his face that was not the answer Yugi's grandpa was looking for, and Yugi was looking increasingly nervous.

"Why don't we all have a seat."

I grabbed three slices of the meat pizza and opened my soda, taking a long drink while they each grabbed their first slice.

"I noticed you did get quite a bit of nice stuff, was it a fun trip grandpa?"

Oh great, here comes the small talk. I hate small talk, at least Ryou has learned that if he makes us eat at the table Malik and I do it very quickly. So Ryou doesn't bother anymore, he just bought some of these things called "tv trays", little wooden folding tables for one. Handy things.

"Yes it was Yugi. Seems quite a bit has happened here as well. So how long have the two of you been together?"

Wow did Yugi look nervous! I took another bite of pizza and waited to see how he was planning to answer that.

"A couple days."

"I see, and what brought about this?"

The old man took another bite of pizza and Yugi was looking at anywhere but him. I had no idea he would get so nervous after practically screaming his feelings at Jou and Anzu, this was becoming quite amusing but if I wanted this dinner to end anytime soon I figured I had better help him out with the obviously harder parts of the story.

"I stopped some guys from raping Yugi."

Wow, both choked at the same time, and Yugi didn't even have anything in his mouth! I took another bite of pizza. That went over better than I thought it would.

"E-excuse me!"

"Well.. It was ummm after school. Some guys grabbed me and I was really scared. But before anything happened Kura showed up."

"Yugi was putting up a pretty good fight though."

I couldn't help smirking, thinking back to him kicking the whole time, not to mention the bruises that kid is still sporting.

"So how did that lead to… this?"

"Well Kura walked me home and… ummm we were talking…"

I sighed and swallowed my bite, I really didn't see what was so hard about this.

"Okay look, the guys that attacked Yugi are some friends of mine." Wow does he looked pissed. "I didn't know they were going to, but anyways, it was because they caught Yugi watching me a few times and thought maybe something was going on between us. It was luck but yeah I found them and stopped it, walked Yugi home. Unlike that shithead Atemu I actually give a damn about the hikaris, way too innocent for their own good, but that's another conversation. So I was trying to figure out a way to keep Yugi safe, this was it."

"You couldn't just tell them to leave him alone!"

"Sure, I could have but then I might as well hand Yugi a package of condoms and tell him good luck."

"What!"

Wow is he slow on the uptake, I mean it's not that hard to figure people out, is it? I guess he suffers from the same "everyone is good inside" shit theory Yugi has.

"In other words for a few it would work but overall it would just make Yugi a bigger target."

"So making his neck look like a chew toy is better!"

I could stop the proud smirk that I wore at that comment. His neck did have some impressive marks.

"Yeah, he wasn't complaining at the time either."

"Bakura!"

"What!"

"Grandpa, please don't be angry! He is right, just saying to leave me alone wouldn't have worked. But now everyone will think that Bakura would take it personally if something did happen to me."

"You think I wouldn't?"

I couldn't help arching my eyebrow, he's making it all seem like its just a front. I couldn't help but wonder if he is that scared of the old man knowing.

"Isn't there some other way?"

"Even if there was its too late now."

"What do you mean by that?"

Wow can he look angry, you would think I had forced Yugi into this or something, could be that is what he is thinking.

"Well, even if it wasn't for everyone thinking we are together Yugi screaming out his feelings at Jou in front of half the sch OW! Dammit! Why did you kick me!"

"You have absolutely no idea when to keep your mouth shut!"

"Well no! I'm a tomb robber from ancient Egypt! Not some stick up the ass socialite!"

Yugi just shook his head sighing before taking a deep breath and looking his grandfather in the eyes. Guess he plans to lay his cards out.

"Okay grandpa, please don't get upset."

He turned on those puppy eyes and you could see the old man cave.

"Alright Yugi. Lets hear this."

"Well, I've liked Bakura since Battle City, but I didn't know what to do, I mean given everything I didn't think I stood a chance. Add to that sharing a body with his enemy. Well Malik came back and fixed the last part but I still couldn't admit it, I know Kura can seem scary."

"Seem?"

He smirked at my comment.

"Yes, seem. To others I know you are, but… I think I have gotten to know a different side that only Ryou and Malik have seen. As I was saying, yes I have liked him, which is why some of his group noticed me looking at him, I couldn't help it. Kura did save me and walked me home. Faking a relationship was the only thing that would work, he didn't know how much it was a dream come true for me. He hasn't forced me to do anything but the last couple days have been the happiest I have ever been!"

"Weren't you happy with Atemu?"

"Well, when he and I shared a body I wasn't lonely but it also wasn't romantic. I also had my other friends. After Malik came back we all thought it would be great, the yamis having their own bodies, actually I still think it is. But Atemu reverted back to his personality when he was pharaoh and everyone just kind of went their own ways. The last six months have been the loneliest of my life. That is until this week, it started out normal, I thought it turned into a nightmare but instead it became a dream come true. Jou and Anzu both have suddenly become worried about my welfare, or more like the fact I wasn't pinning away for Atemu. I never thought of him like that. But what I told them is true, I love Kura, I'm happy with Kura and, grandpa, he treats me better than anyone ever has. He makes me feel special and truly wanted. Not that I am there because I have to be, or he is there for excitement or adventure, just that he wants ME there."

I had no idea what to say to that, course I realized I was sitting there holding my slice of pizza like an idiot while Yugi looked about ready to break down into tears and his grandpa looked even more shocked than I. Setting down my pizza and scooting out my chair a bit I reached over and took Yugi's hand, tugging it lightly. He looked at me questioningly and I motioned him over with my head, he complied, climbing into my lap as I wrapped my arms around his small body, holding him close.

"Its okay tenshi, calm down."

It surprisingly didn't take long for Yugi to calm down, he returned to his seat and we finished the dinner in silence before going to the living room.

Yugi and I sat on the couch, he snuggled closely against my chest as we watched the movie. His grandpa was taking none too subtle glances at us, I don't think he liked Yugi sitting on my lap, or maybe it was the fact I was rubbing Yugi's thigh, causing him to make small whimpers. Either way he didn't look altogether happy.

The movie ended and Solomon turned off the tv. Yugi's head immediately shot up from where it had been comfortably snuggled against my chest.

"It's late, I think perhaps it is time for everyone to get some sleep. Yugi you look as tired as I feel, and I am sure Bakura would like to get home before it gets any later."

Yugi opened his mouth, I'm sure to say something about me not going but I silenced him by placing a finger to his lips.

"Your grandpa is right, you look exhausted, hell you were falling asleep a minute ago. Walk me to the door?"

He smiled and gave my finger a quick kiss before climbing off my lap, allowing me to stand as well.

"Come on then."

I stood and started following him to the door, noticing his grandpa visibly relax.

"Night Solomon, see you tomorrow."

I smirked as the fear returned to his eyes. Oh how I love that look. Yugi tugged on my hand and I let him lead me to the door, pulling on my boots as he held my jacket.

"Your coming back over tomorrow?"

I took my trench and shrugged it on before cupping his cheek to place a chaste kiss on those lips.

"Unless you don't want me to."

Those two slender arms wrapped around my neck so quickly as he smashed his lips to mine, I was caught off guard but recovered fast enough to wrap my arms around his waist, lifting him off the ground. I moved forward and pinned his body between myself and the wall as my tongue sought entrance to play with his own. It was just getting good when Solomon none to discreetly yelled out for Yugi to make sure he locked the door tightly. Our kiss broke as we both caught our breath and I slowly lowered him to his feet.

"Lock both bolts little one, your other lock isn't worth shit."

He looked up and giggled at me in the cutest way so I couldn't resist stealing one last quick kiss.

"Goodnight Kura. I'll see you in the morning."

I smirked and turned away, opening and closing the door quickly behind myself. I did wait though until I heard all three locks slip into place before making my way home.

That is it for this chapter, I have already started on the next one! ..Please don't forget to RR!
