Friends...
Ryou's P.O.V
Hmmm...I've gotten pretty good at this spell. That's good because I've been working on this one for a couple of weeks now.
I play with the dead body of the squirrel, moving it around, and making it dance around a bit. Using my other hand, I hold the squirrel's soul. I use the soul to make a soul orb, and I am just kinda bouncing it around the room.
I hear a knock on the door, and I have the squirrel quickly dance back into it's box. I then dispel the soul orb so that it dissipates into the nearby air. I quickly jump back onto my bed, and look at my normal magic book.
With a flick of my wrist I open the door. Yep, it's minor illegal magic, but what people don't know won't kill them. My best friend Malik bounces into the room, and basically jumps onto the bed, landing on me.
"Hello Ry-Ry!" Malik purrs from on top of me. Okay, so I guess I should explain that Malik is like an older, horny, slightly perverted, possible molester brother to me. He's nice and all, but I already know that he has way too many sexual arousals and feelings for a normal angel, however, he's one of the purist angels ever. It kind of makes me wonder what goes on in the average Angel head, and more importantly, the demons.
His hand roams across my chest in a playfully suggestive way. I try to push his hands away, but he just giggles and wraps his arms around my neck.
"So...Ry-Ry...What's this rumor about you finding a girl to marry," Malik asks nuzzling my neck. He purposefully puts extra emphasis on the word girl, because he knows that I'm gay, and he too prefers men over women. "And what's Bakura going to think when he hears about this?" Malik challenges, now playing with my hair. I let out an annoyed sigh, knowing that he is right.
Malik kisses me lightly on the cheek, but then gets off of me, pulling me up with him. I flap my wings a few times, trying to relax them a bit, but I then look back towards my best friend, his smile disappearing abruptly.
"Ryou, I'm serious, what are you going to do about this?" Malik asks softly. I shrug and sigh, resting my head on my hands. Malik rubs my back, but then pulls me into a brotherly embrace.
"Ryou, there is no girl. The biggest problem is going to be your family, and explaining what's really going on in your love life. Actually I'm kinda jealous, you get to have some fun with your love life, while we have to suffer through this boringness. I hope I can find the right guy soon too." Malik tries to comfort in his own little Malik way. He pulls me even closer, gently playing with my hair.
I nuzzle him, but he quickly pushes me back to an upright position, just as Yugi and Anzu enter into the room. Yugi is like Malik and I. Anzu however is just another normal angel, but she is still a good friend.
Bakura's P.O.V
I wake up in my room, with my head pounding like hell, and that means something, saying as to the fact that I can take a hell of a lot of pain. I didn't even know that I got that drunk, all because of my feelings for one stu- wait that word can't describe him, one heavenly angel. That fits him. Oh Ra what the hell am I doing, I'm losing my demonic edge just for some angel.
Okay, not some angel, the Angel Prince. I love that boy with all my heart; I honestly believe I would do anything for that boy.
Oh shut up heart, I thought I told you that you are no longer able to make any decisions. Ra damn you stupid organ, don't make me stab you. I thought we already made an agreement.
Well we did, but I'm regretting it. How long would you be able to stay sane if you lost the boy? I mean think about it, you need him, and you want him. You yearn for him, I yearn for him, down south yearns for him, our entire being yearns him.
This is why I cut off connection to you. I do not yearn for him, and I would definitely stay sane without him. Wait sane, who the f*ck in this realm is sane? I see no sense to it. And down south yearns for just about every good looking person. The fact that I haven't taken him yet is much scarier than the fact that I keep calling him perfect. What is going on with me?
Silly mind, you are falling in love. You can't cut me off idiot, we work together to keep this body in function. See and you can't even go a day without thinking about the boy. As for down south, abstinence is what you do when you really love someone. You're waiting for the right time. However, you do seem to get excited often.
Ra damn you stupid heart. Thank Ra that I have no soul, or else I would have to kill myself.
You do have a soul stupid idiot; you just keep ignoring it like you ignore me! I bet you your soul is more foul and rotten then you by now.
Hey! I'm not rotten! I just have been neglected for all these years! You know, Ryou's soul is the first one to actually comes and hangs out with me. His soul is so nice; I actually enjoy the company, and the nuzzling that it gives me. It makes me feel complete in a way that no one and nothing else has.
Ra, now you're getting sappy too, he's just some random boy that happens to be slightly more attractive and sweet then others. Ra dammit, now even I'm agreeing to your petty thoughts.
You're the one that thinks, in fact, you are imagining my end of the conversation, and using me as a scapegoat so that you don't have to accept the fact that your falling, hard. You even admitted that fact to the boy.
Ra, I hate you...er...me, shut up! This conversation is over!
With the end of my little mind war I let out a deep sigh. I guess it's time to leave my room and talk to my so called friends about what the hell happened earlier today.
I force myself out of bed, and I trudge along the wall until I get to the door. I whip said door open, and stalk towards the family room where my friends are eating.
Once I get into the family room, I collapse onto the couch to stop the room from spinning. I hear the others start laughing, but the sound seems to be magnified by a thousand, and my hands fly up to my ears to protect them from the booming sounds.
Yami looks over at me, and continues snickering at the scowl on my face. I just squeeze my eyes shut and hope for all of it to end soon. After a while it does end, and I just grab a random slice of pizza and shove it into my mouth, a way of not having to speak to anyone.
Marik finally gets up, and moves so that he is sitting next to me, a maniacal smile on his face. I shoot the giant a glare, and he immediately wipes that smile off of his face.
Narrator's P.O.V
Well, I guess I should describe Bakura's friends to you now that you have met them:
Sennen Yami is the child of the Sennen family as fore mentioned. He is about 5'3, or as to say, downright puny, but he is the second oldest at seventeen years old. His hair is formed like a star on the top of his head, the tips of the hair being a purplish-red. The male then has blond bangs framing his face, and streaking up into the mess of hair atop his head. His eyes match the color of the tip of his hair, being a purplish-red. His eyes are sharp, and have the slight added effect of mascara. Sennen Yami tends to wear leather, which many fangirls within the realm are attracted to. Sennen Yami is known to have either the second or third darkest wings within the demon realm, his wings being such a midnight blue that it has even been called black before.
Now, Sennen Yami, like many people in his family, has a regal air to him. He is elegant, and has a strong leadership trait. He can sometimes be bossy, but is regarded as a good friend, and someone that Bakura can actually talk to when he's in need of help. Either that, or at times, like when it comes to Bakura's feelings, he's an ass.
Marik, of the clan family is about 6'2, constantly competing with Kaiba Seto for the tallest; however, he is the youngest at sixteen. Marik's sand colored hair seems to defy gravity; sticking up in random directions and making him look like a pineapple. His eyes are a light violet, though they have a crazed look to them. Marik is the most built of the group, sporting some real muscle strength. His outfit usually tends to be muscle shirts and cargo pants. This waves a few eyes his way. Marik is the other contender for the second darkest wings, his being a deep plum purple.
Marik has always been looked upon as a psychopath, incapable of thinking, and only able to kill. Few people barely can see past his eyes, actually, only his two closest friends Yami and Bakura can get a glimpse of what really lays within his mind.
Lastly, we have Kaiba Seto, an orphan, but he lives with his Uncle and cousin Yami. He is the second tallest at the height of 6'1, and the oldest at the age of seventeen. He has coffee brown hair, his bangs falling sloppily across his face, yet the back of his hair comes to a crude point. His eyes are an ocean blue, but at the same time they are as cold as ice. He has a strong but lean build that looks well in multi-layer clothing, and matches Kaiba Seto's billowing coat obsession well. Kaiba Seto has dark royal blue wings, his being for some odd reason the fourth actually, the fifth darkest in the realm; however, they hold no competition to the top three, or even the fourth.
Kaiba Seto is the serious one out of the group. It is rare that you'll see a genuine smile on his face, and even rarer that you'll see him laugh. Unless that is, you are insulting one of his friends... Kaiba Seto takes his job as an advisor very seriously, and even though Tozokou Bakura is his friend, he serves the man endlessly. Unfortunately for Bakura, Kaiba's main loyalty remains with the Sennen family.
Well there, you got to learn about each character a bit and I am able to rest my powers...well give me another moment.
...
...
...
Okay, done. Let's get back to the story.
Bakura's P.O.V
Yami, apparently not noticing the glare I give Marik continues on with Marik's initial question, or request, or whatever you want to call it.
"So, tell us about this person." The tri-colored hair brat demands.
"Well, this person is alive, ho-, beautiful, smart-" I cut myself off there, my hand flying to my mouth to stop it from saying anything more about Ryou. These bastards don't deserve to know how amazing one little boy can be. Oh Ra, am I thinking that again.
"Wow..." That's all Yami says as he stares at me. I guess he also notices my eyes widen and my face heat up, because he drops that annoying 'ha-ha you fell in love' face, and he looks at me seriously.
"Bakura are you serious?" Yami asks, apparently forgetting the fact that I said alive as the first trait, "You didn't even call this person hot...what is the gender anyways, I mean, we know you hate most if not all girls, so he's a male, right."
"Yeah." I mutter, realizing that no matter what I do, Yami is going to get to the bottom of this.
"Huh, you called him smart; no smart guy would fall for you." Marik teases and I just roll my eyes. Expect Marik to be an idiot when something is important.
"Bakura, why don't you continue telling us about this man?" Yami inquires, and for once I am happy that he is the serious one, well, one of them, but quite frankly, I don't want anyone to know about Ryou, because I just can't be sure if they are even worth it to talk about him with.
I get off of the seat and give Yami one last glance. "I would, but if I recall properly, we have a special dinner to attend to tonight." And with that final phrase I turn on my heal and walk out of the family room and back into my own.
Ryou's P.O.V
"So guys, what's up, besides the normal flirting with each other stuff?" Malik asks, and I remember how Yugi always play flirts with Anzu because one, she has a crush on him, and two, so no one gets suspicious that all three of us are gay. I guess he doesn't have to now that everyone thinks that I am in love with some girl.
Yugi rolls his eyes at Malik's comment, but he then turns to me with a smile that is so fake that I'm shocked Anzu hasn't noticed it yet. "So, I here that you've found the love of your life," Yugi says, and I answer yes, which technically isn't lying because he knows that I am referring to Bakura.
There is an awkward silence that falls for a few moments, but finally, Anzu breaks it.
"Well, the Demon Monarchy is going to be coming here with a few other families for a dinner and meeting. We are all expected to be there in our best clothing. Ryou, you remember the Demon Prince right?" Anzu explains, ending the speech with a question. I simply nod my head, knowing that Malik and Yugi are snickering behind me.
"Good, well then we should start getting ready." Anzu says, turning to leave the room.
"I'll be there in a minute," Yugi calls out to Anzu as she leaves, "I just want to ask Ryou something."
Anzu nods and leaves the room completely, closing the door behind her so that we can have some privacy.
"What are you going to do tonight? I mean c'mon Ryou, you wear your heart on your sleeve even more so than I do, and how are you going to react to Bakura?" Yugi asks softly.
I could feel the heat rush towards my cheeks, and by instinct I look away. "I-I'll just have to pretend he's a normal person. I mean...it's not like we..." I couldn't lie to them. I mean, let's face it, we are a serious couple, and I am head over heels in love with him.
"I'll find a way." Is my only answer before I get up and walk to the door, opening it in a kind way; this is my gesture to say get out.
