Merry Christmas everyone! I got a guitar!! I'm so happy I'll probably write 1 or 2 stories before I have to go to my aunt's house.

Santa: On with the fic!!

~*~*START*~*~

Ryou sighed into the dark night. It was Christmas Eve, and he was sitting alone in Domino Park. He had wanted to go on a walk with Bakura and tell him how he truly feels about him, but Bakura was asleep when he was going to leave. So he left alone. He wandered around a bit until he arrived at Domino Park, where he's been sitting for an hour or so now. He looked up at the sky.

"All I want for Christmas is Bakura! But he doesn't want me! ARGH!" He hit his head against the bench multiple times.

"Um, Ryou? What are you doing?" Malik asked.

"Oh. Malik. Hi." Ryou sat up, and Malik sat down next to him.

"Christmas blues?" Malik asked.

"No, just lovesick." Ryou told him. Malik nodded.

"I know how you feel. Marik told me to come here, that he wanted to tell me something. I've been walking around for a few hours now, and he hasn't shown."
"Oh, wow that sucks." Ryou said. He pulled Malik into a hug. They sat and talked for another hour, when Malik's cell rang. He turned it on and put it on speaker so Ryou could hear.

"Malik."

"Malik, where are you?" Marik asked.

"Hello to you too. I'm waiting for YOU in the park." He said bitterly.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to call you, but Bakura called. He couldn't find Ryou, so I've been helping him look." Malik and Ryou burst out laughing.

"Maybe if you hadn't stood him up you'd have found me! Damned yami, I left a note on the bloody counter!" Ryou said laughing.

"Ryou?" A worry filled voice asked. Ryou immediately stopped laughing. His heart started pounding.

"Oh, hi Bakura." He said quietly.

"I was so worried! I'm so glad your okay!! Do you want me to come pick you up?" He asked Ryou.

"Um, sure. Bring Marik though, Malik is here and was waiting for him."
"Alright, I'm putting Marik back on. Bye."
"Bye." He handed the phone back to Malik, who took it off speaker phone and started talking quietly into the phone. Ryou could have listened, but he didn't. He was elated.

Kura's coming here! I'm getting a second chance!

"Ryou!" Bakura shouted as he ran to his hikari and scooped him into a hug. "I thought you were gone!" He said. "But you're not!"

"I left a note." Ryou said softly. Something about Bakura made Ryou quieter, weaker, more innocent. That's why he hadn't asked him out yet.

"Well." Malik said. "Marik and I are off, see you tomorrow, and Merry Christmas Eve."
"Yeah, Merry Christmas Eve." Marik said.

"Kay, see you tomorrow. Merry Christmas Eve to you too."
"Thanks for everything Malik. Merry Christmas Eve." Ryou said. Malik smiled at him, leaned down to the bench and whispered into Ryou's ear.

"Good luck." Ryou blushed very lightly. Thank Ra it's dark. Ryou waved as Malik and Marik walked away.

"Do you want to go home, hikari?" Bakura asked.

"Maybe we could walk around and look at the Christmas lights?" Ryou suggested quietly.

"Whatever you want." Bakura flashed a smile at Ryou, who's heart started whirling out of control. They stood up and started to walk into town.

***

"Look at that house, Ryou! Isn't it pretty?" Bakura said in wonder.

"It is." Ryou said. He took a deep breath. He decided it was time to tell Bakura how he really felt about him. He turned to Bakura.

"Kura, I-" He was cut off by lips on his own. Bakura was kissing him. Bakura put his hands on Ryou's back. Ryou tangled his fingers in Bakura's white hair. They continued kissing for a few minutes. They pulled away gasping for breath.

"I know, Ryou. I love you too."

***

The two of them were cuddling on the couch next to the fire.

"So, you've really liked me for that long?" Ryou asked meekly.

"Not like, love."
"Right. Love. I love you too." Bakura kissed Ryou head. The clock struck twelve.

"Merry Christmas." Bakura whispered.

***

Ryou yawned at sat up. He felt like he'd slept on a couch all night. He had slept on the couch last night. The events of the night before ran through his head. He blushed lightly. His head was throbbing from all the wine they drank last night. He noticed his lover was nowhere to be found.
"Kura? Where are you?" He called out.

"In here!" His voice came from the kitchen. When Ryou walked in, his kitchen was filled with presents!

"Oh my God!" He said.

"Their all for you."
"Kura! You shouldn't have!"

"But has hat ever stopped me before?" Bakura grinned goofily.

"May I?" Ryou asked.

"Certainly." Ryou began to rip away at the presents. AN hour later, he was just finishing up sweeping the wrapping paper when Bakura cam up behind him and grabbed him.

"AH!" He screamed. Bakura laughed. "Not funny Kura." Ryou pouted.

"Come, now, my koi. You have one gift left."
"Really?" Ryou brightened.

"Yes. Me." Bakura opened his arms. He had a bow on his head and had wrapped his upper body in ribbon.
"Oh, well then. I better start unwrapping it." Ryou said seductively as he played with one of the ribbon ends. He kissed Bakura lightly on the lips, who scooped him up and carried him to his bedroom.

***

There was a knock at the door.

"Don't answer it." Bakura said, breathing heavily.

"But what if it's-oh!" Ryou exclaimed. Bakura grinned.

"RYOU! BAKURA! OPEN THIS DAMNED DOOR BEFORE I KICK IT DOWN!" Yami's voice came harsh from the other side of the door.

"Shit! Yami's present to Yugi. Up we go!" Bakura said as he picked Ryou up off the bed. "Roo, get dressed. I'll get the door since I have more clothes on." Ryou nodded while Bakura, who was only wearing his boxers (I had to add that) and the bow on his head that still hadn't fallen off, ran downstairs. He pulled open the door.

"Yugi might already be on his way! Way to forge-please put pants on before my hikari gets here." Yami said.

"Ryou will be dealing with your koi." Bakura said.
"Speaking of koi, I take it everything went well last night." Yami noted. Bakura grinned.

"It did. He is quite flexible, I might add."
"Ew. TMI. Anyways. Hide these 4 charms in your house, and give these to Yugi, okay?" Yami handed Bakura the 4 charms, a box, and a little blue envelope.

"Got it. Good luck to you. And Merry Christmas." Bakura said.

"Merry Christmas." Yami said as he walked away. He waved to Bakura, who waved back and went back into his house.

"Now, where to put these so Roo can't find them."

There was a knock on the door. Ryou ran up to it filled with excitement. He looked through the peephole. He grabbed the stuff and opened the door. Then he stuck his hand through and felt Yugi take them. He shut the door.

"IT'S HIM KURA!" Ryou squealed. "This is so much fun!" He said as he played with the charms in his hand. "I sure hope Yugi doesn't mind…"
