Chapter two is up! ;D Once again, if I own Yugioh, which I sadly do not, children worldwide would be scarred. Enjoy~

Ryou's alarm clock woke him up bright and early at 7am, as usual for the young teenager. With a yawn he got up and stretched. Everything that happened last night came back to him suddenly. 'Was it all a dream, or did it all happen!' he thought to himself, quickly finding his face flush a cherry red again. Shaking his head with a sigh, he went to the bathroom to do his business, then headed towards the kitchen and gasped.

Bakura was lounging on top of the counter shirtless. His legs were swinging back and forth, with his arms propping him up on the counter. When he noticed Ryou entered, he turned to him, looked at him up and down, and then smirked.

"Good morning Ryou. I'm assuming you had some pleasant dreams?" Bakura stated matter-of-factly.

"What makes you say that?"

"Well…look at you" He said as he got up off the counter to grab his waffles which were toasting in the toaster oven.

Ryou looked down at himself and his expression changed into that of horror. There was a nice tent going on under his light pajama pants. He wasn't sure when that popped up, but he was sure as hell he didn't want it being seen. Ryou, his face now a nice shade of scarlet red, ran his little butt off to his room all embarrassed. Bakura watched after him laughing to himself. He grabbed some milk from the refrigerator and went to his room with the waffles.

The embarrassed teen changed into some day clothing and stuffed his keys and wallet into his pants pockets then proceeded to leave the apartment with no particular plans in mind. He walked down the street wearing his dark blue jacket and scarf wrapped warmly around him. He made his way into a bookstore, found an interesting book, and sat down in one of those big comfy chairs near the window.

"…ooouuuuu!"

He felt someone nudge him.

"Ryoooouuuu wake up!"

Somebody nudged him again. The male voice sounded vaguely familiar.

"Get your booty up before someone thinks you dead!"

This time the person threw a book at him softly. Growling, he opened his eyes to find Yugi standing over him. Confused, and slightly groggy, he looked at his surroundings, then back at Yugi. It was about midday outside, so he had been passed out for maybe an hour or two.

He removed the book from his lap and placed it on the small table nearby after standing up and stretching.

"Yugi, what brings you here?"

"I saw you from the window, figured I'd come in here and wake you before someone else finds and attempts to violate you."

Ryou blushed. He sure wouldn't mind if that person was Bakura now…'NO! Bad thoughts!' Ryou thought to himself. 'I cannot be thinking these things about Bakura…and him touching me with those big, strong hands of his…' His mind wandered off to sweet nothings.

"Ryou?" Yugi nervously asked. "Are you alright? Your face just got all flustered."

Ryou blinked a few times, trying to snap back into reality, and proceeded to remove his scarf then unzipping his jacket.

"Yea, I'm fine, just a bit warm in here is all. So, I was wondering, since it was getting close to the holiday season, what do you think might be a good gift for Bakura?"

"How about a custom designed new blade?"

Ryou stared at Yugi with a wide eyed, 'what in the bloody hell are you thinking?' face.

"No, Yugi," Ryou spoke in a chiding tone. "I really don't think that would be a splendid idea now."

Yugi just stood there with an innocent, confused expression on his face.

"Ah, well. So what were you're plans today, Ryou?

He didn't actually have any plans today but to leave the apartment building to get some space, but a little improvising wouldn't hurt anyone.

"Oh, I just wanted to head to the bookstore, maybe spend some time in the café area around here, and maybe hit the park sometime today. Care to accompany me?"

"Sounds like fun to me."

The two teens left the bookstore after Ryou quickly found this mystery novel he had his eyes on for a few days now and bought it at the front register. He opened the door, and felt the cool, chilly air against his face and upper body. Ryou looked down at himself and remembered to zip up his jacket and to put his scarf back on now that he was outside once more. It was a very beautiful day out, snow on the ground everywhere, clouds grey with a few beams of sunlight trying to sneak through. Perfect weather for cuddling up with someone…

"Hey!" Yugi called out. "Watch where you're going, silly!"

Ryou shook his head to snap himself out of daydreaming, and nearly bumped into some random person in front of him. He offered a quick apology and caught up with Yugi. They walked a few more blocks with small talk and finally got themselves to the café.

"MMMM!" Yugi moaned. "Can you SMELL that coffee? So good."

"C'mon, let's go get our coffees and sit down." Ryou laughed as he went to the counter and placed in his order of a pumpkin latte. Yugi ordered a peppermint flavored coffee. When they both got their orders, they sat down at a round little table right outside the café. Yugi opened the lid to his coffee and inhaled deeply and moaned. He added in a few packets of sugar, replaced the lid back on, and took a small sip of the hot heavenly liquid.

"Yugi, please stop swooning over the cup. It's just coffee."

"Yea, it's really good peppermint coffee."

Ryou rolled his eyes at the caffeine addicted little one. No bloody fucking wonder the spikey haired midget was a midget. All this coffee he worshiped and drank and nearly having an orgasm on it.

"I'm still trying to figure out what to get for Bakura…"

His eyes wandered across the busy street and noticed a few stores that might seem interesting. He stood up, telling little Yugi to follow him too. He waited for the 'walk' sign, and then made his way across the street, waiting for Yugi before he proceeded to the go up to the window. It was pendant again, the hourglass one he spotted yesterday. Yugi walked up behind him and glanced through the window of the store making small noises of awe.

"There's a bunch of cool stuff in here, right?" Yugi asked as he looked around from the window.

"Hey, what do you think about this pendant right there?" Ryou questioned Yugi, ignoring his question, while pointing at the hourglass.

"It's really pretty, you sure he would like something delicate like this?"

And on that note, Ryou walked in the get the hourglass. Since it was very close to the holiday season, he could get the gift all wrapped up and ready to be opened. Ryou smiled at the thought as he walked out of the store and looked at Yugi. The two teens went to the park for a bit to enjoy the cool weather after Yugi picked up another Vanilla latte from the coffee shop.

The sun started going down after a few hours, and the weather dropped just as fast, as if the two were in a race, and the cool air won. It was freezing outside, so cold Yugi's latte turned into a frappe. It was the middle of winter time in Domino city, so what could one expect? Ryou and Yugi started heading back

to their apartment building. Ryou left Yugi off at the floor beneath him and took his keys out to enter his apartment.

"I'm home!" He announced, and placed his jacket and scarf on the couch. He made his way to his room, removed his clothing, and ran his chilly butt into the bathroom to take a long, hot shower.

Bakura was in his room reading some manga when he heard Ryou come home. He smirked in the darkness of his room, the only light coming from the moonlight entering from his window. He waited patiently for his little mouse to finish getting all cleaned up before he pounced on his prey. After all, the tiger didn't want to get his paws too dirty.

After Ryou was done washing up, he grabbed the towel, dried himself off a bit, and then darted to his room. The little one hoped online to start on his homework, still in the towel. His room was warm from the central air the whole apartment building had. At one point, he decided he wanted some hot chocolate, so he left his room and went to the kitchen to prepare himself some. As he was heating up some milk on the stove, Bakura opened his door and left his room, walking slowly towards the kitchen to sneak up behind Ryou. Ryou was busy watching the milk heat to notice an unsuspecting hunter to approach him.

"Ahhh!" He screamed. Bakura grinned as Ryou's towel dropped to the floor as he jumped. Bakura swiftly kicked the towel in his direction so Ryou couldn't reach it. Bare naked, he stood there in front of him timidly in a bad attempt to cover himself with his hands.

"Pfft, you'd think you'd be used to me sneaking up on you by now." He laughed. "But I guess I'm just too good, huh?"

He reached down to pick up the towel and toss it in the living room over the counter. Ryou shifted around uncomfortably.

"W-what are you doing!" He managed to squeak out.

"Nothing at all, little mouse." Bakura responded slowly approaching the nervous one. He pushed himself up against Ryou which in turn pushed him so his back was against the counter.

"So what is my Ryou doing hanging out with Yugi so much? He your new boyfriend or something?"

"N-NO! He's my f-friend is all!"

"That's right. Because at the end of each night you belong to me, my dear" Bakura raised his hand to rest on the younger one's chin. "And me alone."

With that statement, Bakura pulled Ryou's hair toward him and pressed his lips against the little ones for a swift kiss. He released him suddenly, winking at him seductively.

"Goodnight, my snow white angel." Bakura said wandering off back to his room.
