I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or it's characters. Just this story

It's Saturday afternoon and Ryou is watching tv. He lays on the couch with a bored expression.
"Kura. What are you hiding?" Ryou asks himself. He remembers what Marik told him on Friday.

Flashback
"Hey Ry!" Marik says with a smile as he walks to him during his free period. Ryou was outside sitting next to a tree for shade. He has a drawing pad out.
"Oh hey Marik." Ryou looks up at him and smiles.
"So what are we gonna do today after school?" Marik asks as he sits down and hugs him.
"Kura said we were going to the arcade or the park." Ryou says as he continues to draw. He's use to Marik hugging him and doesn't mind that he does it, even if Bakura gets jealous.
"Ugh so boring. Why can't we do something fun?" Marik groans.
"Going to the arcade is fun. And so is going to the park." Ryou giggles at his friend.
"Yeah but we used to go steal and go to clubs and all that good fun."
"You guys went to clubs?"
"With our fake I.D's."
"You have fake I.D's?!"
"Yeah, didn't Bakura tell you?"
"No."
"Uh oh." Marik gulps. 'Bakura is so going to kill me.'
"Why didn't he tell me? Doesn't he trust me?" Ryou looks down.
"He does. He does. You know how protective Bakura is." Marik pokes him. "He doesn't want to see you get hurt."
"I know but still. It would be nice doing stuff that you guys would do." Ryou says.
"Well we can ask Bakura about that later okay." Marik smiles.
"Okay." Ryou goes back to drawing.
"What are you drawing?" Marik asks as he looks. He sees it's a chibi form of him, Ryou, Malik, and Bakura in thief clothes.
"Wow we look cute and cool." Marik smiles.
"I still haven't colored it yet." Ryou blushes a bit.
"But still. These clothes looks better than ours. Plus they look more like ancient thief clothes which makes them cooler."
"Well when you guys said steal I thought of this. I've only seen thief clothes in movies and books."
"Please tell me you know how to make clothes." Marik looks at him with hope.
"I am not a girl. I don't make clothes." Ryou pouts a bit and looks away slightly.
"Girls aren't the only ones who make clothes you know. Boys can make them too. You can make them huh." Marik smirks noticing Ryou blushing a bit. "You do know!"
"Shhh! Don't tell anyone!" Ryou covers his mouth. "I don't want anyone to know."
Marik tries to speak but his words are muffled. Ryou uncovers his mouth.
"I won't tell but it would be nice to have someone to make clothes with." He smiles.
"You make clothes?" Ryou asks.
"Yeah." Marik smiles. "So how about it? Let's make some together sometime?"
"Yeah!" Ryou smiles happily and hugs him before he says something that made Marik gulp. "Is Bakura hiding something from me?"
"W-what?" Marik looks at him.
"It feels like he is. This whole week he's been acting weird like if he didn't want me to find something out. Every time he sees Anzu he drags me away quickly. Is there something going on between them?"
"No!" Marik says quickly. Too quickly. "I mean no. Of course not. Bakura just hates her that's all."
"Oh. So he's just running away from her?"
"Yes. He's just running away."
"I thought Kura didn't run from anyone." Ryou says knowing that Marik was lying to him. "Well?" He crosses his arms.
"Okay truth is that he just doesn't like her. He knows that you don't like her so he doesn't want you near her." Marik says. 'Im so dead.'
"Uh huh." He looks at him as he didn't buy anything he just said.
"I swear. Now just forget it okay." He pulls him close and smiles.
"O-okay." Ryou nods and leans on him.
End Flashback

Ryou sighs and shakes his head. "I'm being silly. Nothing is going to happen." He gets up just as his phone starts to ring. Ryou quickly gets it and answers. "Hello?"
"Hey bunny." Bakura says.
"Kura!" Ryou smiles happily.
"Well doesn't someone sound happy to hear from me." Bakura chuckles.
"I am. Are you having fun with you dad?" Ryou asks.
"My dad?" Bakura asks.
"Yes isn't your dad here today?"
"Oh yeah him. Yeah loads." Bakura had just remembered that he told that lie to Ryou.
"I see." Ryou looks down. He felt like Bakura was lying.
"I love you bunny." Bakura smiles. "What will you be doing tonight?"
"Oh nothing much. Just watch some movies or something."
"That's good. You do that and stay inside." Bakura says.
"Oh? Why?" Ryou asks.
"That way you can be safe. I'd hate for you to get hurt and I'm not there to save you."
"I'm always safe."
"You still have Ushio on you remember. He hasn't done anything because I'm there or those friends of yours are." Bakura reminds him.
"Oh yeah him."
"Don't worry my bunny I'll always protect you."
"Thanks Kura. So what will you be doing with your dad?"
"Umm we are gonna go out to eat and then go home."
"How fun."
"Very. Well I gotta go. I'll call you tomorrow. Okay?"
"Yeah. Be safe Kura."
"I'm always safe." Bakura laughs. "See you later Ryou. I love you."
"I love you too. Bye." Ryou hangs up. He feels a little guilty too. He wasn't about to tell him that he was going out with a friend. Even though he only said yes because Bakura was hiding something from him. Ryou groans and lays on the couch. "What he doesn't know won't hurt him because he's lying first." He looks at the time and smiles. "Well I gotta go get ready."

A few hours later and Ryou is in a nice suit that magically appeared in his closet. He knows that Seto had to be responsible for this. He waits in the living room until he hears someone knocking. Ryou goes to the door. "Who is it?" Ryou asks.
"It's me." Zigfried says.
Ryou opens the door and smiles. "Hello Zigfried."
"Hello Ryou." Zigfried smiles back as he gives him a rose.
"Oh this is lovely, thank you." Ryou smiles at him.
"You're welcome. Now shall we be going?" He asks.
"Yes." Ryou smiles as he puts the rose in a case quickly before going back to Zigfried. They got out the door and Ryou locks up before he takes Ryou's hand. Ryou looks at him as Zigfried just smiles.
"Come on." Zigfried says.
They enter a limo and talk for the whole ride before they got to the restaurant. Zigfried escorts him out of he limo and holds his hand. They go inside as they go up to a waiter.
"Von Schroeder party." Zigfried tells the waiter.
"Ah Mr. Von Schroeder, we have been expecting you. Your table is ready sir." The waiter tells him as he bows. "Will you please follow me?"
"Of course. Come Ryou." Zigfried smiles at Ryou.
Ryou smiles back and follows the waiter to their waiter leads them to a corner table that is slightly secluded but you can see them from the window across them. Zigfried sits Ryou down as he sits across from him. The waiter gives them both a menu.
"And what would you both like to drink?" The waiter asks.
"Soda's for us." Zigfried tells him.
"Of course. Would you like any appetizers?" He asks.
"Want some salad Ryou?" Zigfried asks.
"Oh yes please." Ryou says with a nod.
"Two salads to start." Zigfried smiles.
"Right away sir." The waiter bows before he leaves.
Ryou looks at the menu as Zigfried does the same.
"I assume you come here a lot." Ryou giggles.
"Yes. I come for business and with my family." Zigfried smiles. "Me and Seto have come here together too."
"Really? Ohh I can't wait to tease him!" Ryou smiles.
Zigfried chuckles. "Have you decided what you want?"
"Well everything looks so good. I wouldn't know. What do you recommend?"
"Well my favorite is the spaghetti or the lasagna. It's all very good though." Zigfried smiles at him.
"I'll have the spaghetti then." Ryou smiles. "It's my favorite too."
Ryou and Zigfried look at each other and smile.

Bakura sighs as he waits outside of Anzu's house. He couldn't believe she was forcing him to take her out before they had sex. He looks up at the sky and sighs.
'I want my Ryou. I'm doing this for him. He'll never get hurt by that bitch.' Bakura thinks as he hears footsteps. He turns to see Anzu in a slutty outfit. She smirks and goes to him and hugs his arm.
"Ready for our date?"
"Let's just hurry this up." Bakura says in a monotone voice.
"Aww so anxious to fuck?" Anzu smirks.
"Not really." He shrugs which makes her mad.
"Better act it or else." She growls at him.
"It wasn't part of the deal." He smirks.
"I'm making it part of it then. Not like you have a choice." She smirks making him frown.
"Fuck you." Bakura looks away.
"Come on." She grabs his arm. "Let's go." She pulls his arm to go around her shoulder.
Bakura sighs as he puts on a fake smile as they walk to go eat.

"This is a lovely dinner." Ryou smiles at him as they eat.
"Yes the food is most excellent here." Zigfried smiles. "Plus being with you is making this night even more lovely."
Ryou blushes a bit. "T-t-thank you. For inviting me and all."
"I'm glad you agreed. You are a dear friend of mine." Zigfried smiles more.
Ryou nods. "Still I'm a bit surprised that you and Seto come here. He never takes us to fancy places. Well that's because Jonouchi, Honda, and Ryuji sometimes don't have manners but still."
Zigfried laughs at that. "Well I think that's your reason." He took his hand. Ryou looks at him.
"I heard from Seto that your mothers anniversary is coming up. I'd be honored if I could join you in celebrating."
Ryou smiles happily. "I'd love for you to join us."
"I'm glad." He kisses his hand.
Ryou blushes at that.
"Ryou I hope we can go on a second date."
"Date?"
"Yes I would like to consider this our first date." He smiles and takes his other hand. "I've always admired you. You're so delicate yet strong."
Ryou blushes but gulps. 'Oh no. No no no. He likes me. That means...they knew. They knew he that he liked me. Oh Ra I'm going to kill them. I just have to tell him that I'm dating Bakura and I just like him as a friend.'

Bakura sighs as he looks around. Anzu was yapping around about things he didn't care about or even bother to pay attention to. All he could think about is Ryou. 'I want him. I rather be doing this with him. Oh Ra fucking Ryou after having a romantic date for him would be perfect.'
They start to pass this restaurant where Bakura turns to look through the window where he just froze.
Anzu notices this and glares. "Hey why did you stop?"
"Ryou?" Bakura gasps as he sees Ryou and Zigfried holding hands and what he thought looked like smiling.
Anzu looks at what he was looking at and smirks. "Well well well isn't that your Ryou? Look at that. He's cheating on you. And with Zigfried Von Schroeder no less. The second riches guy in our school."
"No. He would never." He let's Anzu go and stomps in the restaurant. He was angry and confused. 'How dare he lie to me?! I'm going to get to the bottom of this shit. He better have a good explanation.' He starts to growl as he gets to their table.
"Ryou!"
Ryou froze before turning and his eyes widen.
"B-Bakura?"
"Yes it's me. What are you doing here? And with him?!" He growls out the last part.
"Zigfried is my friend. He just took me out for dinner to catch up." Ryou says looking at him.
"Friends don't hold hands like that." He pulls Ryou up as he took his wrists and glares at Zigfried. "Now why did you lie to me?"
"I-I-"
"Oh Bakura stop being a drama queen." Anzu says as she walks to them.
"Anzu." Ryou looks at her.
"Hey Ryou, thanks for crashing me and Bakura's date." Anzu smirks.
"D-date? Date? You're on a date with her?!" Ryou looks at Bakura with hurt and betrayal.
"No I umm well...that's not the point. You're on a date with him?! Huh?! Want to explain yourself?!" He starts to squeeze his wrist.
"Bakura we are just ah friends. Kura you're hurting me." He winces.
"Why were you holding hands?!" He screams at him.
"Kura ow ow. You're hurting me!" Ryou tries to pull away.
"Why were you holding hands?!" He growls at him.
"Hey he said you're hurting him." Zigfried got up.
"Stay out of this!" He grabs Ryou's wrist with one hand and aims a punch at Zigfried. Zigfried dodges and punches Bakura square in the face. Bakura let's Ryou go and growls. He was mad now. Bakura was about to aim again when Ryou stands in front of Bakura.
"Stop it!" Ryou yells.
Anzu smirks. "Protecting your other boyfriend instead of your first one. Or is Bakura the second one?"
"No. What? No! Bakura is my boyfriend! My only boyfriend."
"But you're clearly on a date with Zigfried. Maybe I'll just have Bakura to myself then. Bakura come kiss me." She smirks.
Ryou's eyes widen. "He wouldn't."
"Oh but he is." Anzu smirks. Bakura growls but goes to Anzu. He kisses her quickly but Anzu grabs him and pulls him to a deeper kiss.
Ryou's heart breaks.
Anzu breaks the kiss and laughs. "See he loves me not you."
Bakura growls but he didn't look at Ryou.
Ryou felt tears fall as he backs away. Zigfried glares at them as he pulls Ryou close. "Security!" He calls as two bodyguards goes to them. "Escort these two out." Zigfried says.
"No wait Ryou!" Bakura tries to get to him but the security takes them out.
"Ryou are you okay?" Zigfried asks.
"C-c-can you take me to Atem's please." Ryou sniffles.
"Yeah. Come on. I'll get your food in a box." He rubs his back.
Soon they leave in the limo to Atem's.
Ryou texts the gang.
Meet at Atem's. -Ryou
Ryou leans on Zigfried who holds him. "Hey it's okay. He isn't worth your sadness."
"Thanks Zigfried. I'm sorry about tonight."
"It's okay. Look take some time to yourself and think about things. I'll always be here to help." He says.
"Thanks. You're a really good friend."
Zigfried smiles just as they arrive at Atem's. "Okay here we are."
Ryou looks to see Atem and Yugi outside the door.
"Thanks Zigfried." He hugs him.
"Anytime. Call me okay." He says.
"I will." He goes out the door with his food and goes to Atem and Yugi.
The limo drives away.
Ryou hugs them and starts to cry.
"Ry what happened?" Yugi hugs him.
"Kura is going out with Anzu!" Ryou cries.
Atem's eyes widen. "Oh Ry. We're so sorry." He holds him. "Come on. Let's go inside and wait for everyone. You can tell us what happened then okay."
Ryou nods as they take him inside.

"I just don't know what to do." Ryou sighs

"You idiot!" Marik yells.

"You fucked up." Atem smirks.

"I love you." Ryou and Bakura say.
