Planning
Ryou's P.O.V
I woke up yesterday, and I was hungry. To be quite honest, I still am, of course, that was only the least of my problems.
I can't move my back at all, even though my entire body is wrapped in a nice little gauze. The many cuts and bruises that my friends said littered my body are gone, the only reason I know they existed is because of the soreness. I think to myself sometimes that the only reason I keep going is for Bakura, at least I get to see him tomorrow.
I hop on bed wincing in pain as I realize the pain that I have just caused myself. A few tears run down my cheek, I suck at tolerating pain, but I force myself to do so as I close my eyes and fall asleep.
The next morning, a soft hand on my shoulder awakens me. I turn my neck a bit to see Joey staring down at me, worry evident on his face.
I force myself out of bed, wincing the entire way, Joey looks hurt.
"It's okay Joey. I'll be fine." I say to console my friend, but he doesn't look like he entirely believes me.
I walk around my room a bit to relax my lower body muscles, then grab a pair of clothes (that's right, today I attempt to wear a shirt) and walk into the bathroom.
Taking a hot shower is torture, and I am in tears by the end. I brush my teeth, which is also painful because my arm is connected to the bone that was torn out, therefore, I am sobbing by the end of that. Lastly, I put my clothes on, and by the time I am done with that, I am wailing. I wonder why they even allowed me to get out of bed.
When I am done I take a look on the mirror and notice how disoriented I look. I am paler than usual, and that makes my brown eyes look darker. I am dressed in gray sweat pants, and a dark gray tight long sleeved shirt. My cheeks seem to be inflamed, probably the start of an infection, but my body should handle that with no problem. I am a twig, which the clothing seems to amplify, and for some odd reason, there are small bags under my eyes, that I really don't want to see.
I leave the bathroom to see Joey, with Yugi and Malik, waiting for me. We walk in our socks to the doors of the castle before slipping on our shoes and walking to the small grove.
Once we arrive, we wait a couple of minutes, Joey, Malik, and Yugi talking about stuff while I stand there silently.
Suddenly, a hole from the Shadow Realm opens up, and in walk the demons.
A smile creeps on my face once I see Bakura, and I am happy when the smile is returned.
Bakura walks right over to me, ignoring all the other people, and he swiftly pulls me into a kiss. Our lips open and close as one, and while my mouth is open, Bakura forces his tongue into my mouth, and maps out the area of my mouth. My tongue meets his, and for a moment they battle, before I decide it is a waste of energy and give in, Bakura's warm tongue the continues to explore my mouth, until the need for air becomes too much for either of us to handle, and we break apart.
The first thing I notice when we break apart is the fact that my back is bent instead of straight, and that my arms are raised and wrapped around Bakura's neck. I guess love is the most powerful thing ever.
"Watashi wa anata ni tenshi o aisuru." Bakura whispers in my ear, and my mind triggers that he is speaking Japanese, which is oddly enough, my second language. The phrase means, 'I love you my angel.' I smile at Bakura, and rub my nose against his and reply, "Watashi wa anata ni watashi no oni o aishite (and I love you my demon)," Bakura kisses my neck, and I blush deeply.
"Hey Ryou, I thought you couldn't bend your back." Yugi calls out to me, and I blush even more.
Bakura smirks, "I think I just fixed a broken angel." He calls to his friends, pulling me closer and holding my waste as to not injure my back. I giggle softly so only he can here.
By the time I turn around I see Malik and Marik heavily making out. I wonder if that's how we looked while making out, I hope we were at least neater than them (and yes I mean neater, their kissing is sloppy).
"Get a room you two!" Bakura says loudly, and I snicker a bit.
"Like you two weren't just snogging like you were ready to go all the way a moment ago." Malik says in a make out break before returning to Marik.
Bakura rolls his eyes and simply says, "We had a reason." I nuzzle him softly, careful not to bend or hurt my back. Bakura pulls me in again and starts running his fingers through my hair, I blush again, and nuzzle him again.
"Ryou, how ya feeling," Yami asks, looking over me cautiously. I shrug, "Been better." Is all I reply, not telling him how I truly feel.
Bakura looks as though he wants to help me in some way, but he doesn't seem to know how to do so. I sigh softly, and I see the hurt look in Bakura's eyes and suddenly feel guilty.
I wrap my arms around Bakura, and he decides that it is best to just run his fingers through my hair. He does so, and I relax.
Bakura's P.O.V
Ra dammit! Ryou looks so uncomfortable and hurt, but there is nothing I can do to help, and that's what probably hurts the most. I can't stand watching Ryou sit there so defenselessly, there just has to be a way!
Someone's stomach growls rather loudly, and everyone turns to Ryou's friend Joey to see him holding his stomach embarrassed. We all laugh, and I smile at the fact that Ryou is acting normal, despite the fact that the bones in his back are only in the middle of healing.
"Sorry, we didn't have breakfast." Joey says, and Seto scoffs.
"I would be shocked to find out that the Angel Castle feeds mutts like you." Seto says, and I smirk at the comment, and the deviousness of my mind.
Joey growls and Seto just shrugs and says, "You just proved my point." I notice that Ryou looks worried, therefore, I hold in the laughter threatening to overcome me.
"Well we didn't have breakfast either. Bakura was in a rush to come see Ryou." Yami explains, cuddling Yugi closer.
"Then it's agreed, we are going to get something to eat...but where?" Seto muses, looking around the tiny grove to see what they could possibly eat.
"We can go back to the castle and order breakfast for the eight of us." Yugi explains, and everyone looks at everyone, deciding if it is a good idea.
"Okay, good idea Yug'! We can go back and get the food!" Joey explains, "C'mon guys." Joey continues, turning on his heel and leaving.
I feel Ryou getting up to leave, but I calmly push him back down. "Ryou, you're hurt." I say softly, making sure not to injure the boy any further.
Ryou looks up at me, his beautiful eyes sparkling with unshed tears. "Kura, I'm fine." Ryou whines and I feel my insides break.
"Ryou, the less you get up and down the better." I explain, "I just want the best for you. I mean what if your father gets to you. I don't want you getting hurt." I...explain...my voice a bit higher than usual. I then grab my throat, trying to find out what the hell just happened. Ryou giggles, and gets up onto his knees; he then pulls me in for a swift kiss. I never knew Ryou could be so assertive, I like it.
Ryou is the one to end the kiss, and I have to say, I am impressed.
"Bye Kura." Ryou says while I ponder over the kiss, only to realize that his friends are gone. I smirk, and stand to wrap his arms around his waist.
"Good, now we can finally have some alone time." I whisper seductively into Ryou's ear. I know I have gotten the intended response when I feel the boy shiver in my arms.
"Are you okay Ryou, you seem a little flushed." I whisper into his ear, rubbing my hand on his ass. Ryou's cheeks flare red, and I know that I have gotten to him.
I then return to a seated position, pulling my Angel carefully behind me. Ryou returns to using me as a pillow, and subconsciously, I raise my hand and continue stroking it through his hair.
"Ryou?" Yami asks my Angel softly. Ryou looks at Yami with his big chocolate brown eyes, as an answer.
"Does your father beat you often?" Yami asks, and I know that this is something
I really don't want to hear, but I must.
"All the time," Ryou says brightly, and I look at my Angel, and see all the pain hidden behind his bright eyes. I would've wrapped my arms around him, but he's just so broken. "This is the worst, by far he has ever done to me." Ryou continues, and I relax a little.
"But why, he's an angel." Yami says, stating the obvious, and Ryou just shrugs.
"All of our fathers have beaten us at one point or another. Marik's father ended up dying, Joey's father is kind of a druggy, Yugi's father left, and well my father just hates everything about me." Ryou explains, and there is a moment of silence.
"You've all been beaten, even my little kitten." Marik asks, somewhat hurt, and
Ryou simply nods.
"Please don't bring it up though. It's not really a subject any of us want to dwell on." The boy concludes soft brown eyes fluttering close as I feel his muscles relax.
All of us look at each other, and the same question is going through our minds.
'What the hell has happened to our innocent angels?'
Well I guess Seto's question is more along the lines of;
'What the hell is wrong with male angels?'
I look at my prized possession, and fiddle with his hair, allowing my hands to only go as low as his neck, rubbing my fingers softly against the other boy's flawless skin.
Ryou's P.O.V
I listen to the sound of the trees rustling, and the breathing of Bakura. Everything is calm and peaceful, that is until I hear a crashing through the grove.
"Hey guys, we're back." Yugi announces, and I finally decide to open my eyes to see Yugi, Malik, Joey, and ...Amane... holding food.
"Amane?" I ask my voice somewhat hoarse, hmm, wonder why that is.
Amane giggles, and walks over to me, handing Bakura and I plates with hash browns, bacon, and sausage. I smile at my sister, only to realize that she is intimidated by Bakura's dark glare. Well, that can't be now can it; I open my mouth wide and bite onto his leg.
Bakura lets out a low pitched yell of shock, and I giggle like a little school girl. Bakura looks at me, and I smile at him, softly nuzzling where I bit him a moment ago. I then sit up, and I kiss his cheek for extra effect.
Bakura looks at me with a bewildered expression on his face, and I simply shrug (I really need to stop doing that. It hurts a whole lot more than I allow it to show.), "You were threatening my sister. I can't have that, now can I?" I say, and I hear my sister giggle in the background. You have no idea how important my sister is to me.
"Well, Mommy wants us both back at the castle in an hour. There's a meeting and we has to be there, no advisors however." Amane explains in her adorable little voice. I nod, a small smile on my face, as I take a sausage and feed it to Bakura, who eats the sausage hungrily.
"So, you know all of Bakura's weaknesses?" Marik says, eyeing the sausage that I am using to taunt Bakura.
"Yep," I say glancing at Marik. Bakura uses this time to try and take the sausage, I quickly move the sausage so he misses it, and the others looked shocked. Bakura simply looks pissed.
"How did you keep it away? Bakura is the King of Thieves in the Demon Realm." Marik says disbelief in his voice.
I smirk as I once again make the sausage dodge Bakura's grips. I giggle and Bakura growls. "I guess that means no sausage for you." I taunt, and simply eat the piece of meat. Bakura pouts and I laugh.
"What the hell? How the f*cking hell do you do this to him?" Marik says, trying to hide the snickering that he wants to unleash.
"First off, don't curse, ever. Secondly, Bakura is easy to taunt. Lastly, Kura is almost always like this." I explain, pulling a growling Bakura to me for a painful hug (for the both of us).
The hour passes by fairly quickly, and I have to say good-bye. Of course, Bakura doesn't take a simple good-bye, so instead we make out for about five minutes, right in front of my little sister (I don't really mind the others seeing), before she drags me off to the meeting. Bakura staring at my back side the entire way...of course I turned an intense shade of red.
Line
Once we arrive at the meeting, I realize that we are only having a family meeting, which in a sense is good, but what is the topic this time. Dear Ra, God, whoever is listening, please let it not be my sexuality.
"So, since Ryou was injured, and is making a full recovery, and more importantly, Amane is turning thirteen in December, so, I was thinking we could invite the whole family over for dinner." Mum explains. That personally sounds like an excellent idea, I mean we haven't seen the family in forever. I decide to voice my opinion.
"That's brilliant, mum." I exclaim, a smile fixed on my face.
"So, the party will be December 13, okay." Mother explains, before turning to my father and sister.
Amane is sitting happily in her seat basically jumping up and down. Father however looks grim. I wonder why.
"Now Ryou..." Mom starts, staring dead at me. I flinch.
"Is there anything you want to say to your father?" Mom asks, and I quickly have to find something to say.
"Dad, I am so sorry that I dated Prince Bakura against your wishes, and without you knowing." I say, looking my father dead in the eye so that he knows what I'm saying is the truth, and the truth only.
"Do you regret what you did and promise never to do it again?" My father asks, a malevolent glint in his eye.
I continue to look my dad dead in the eye, and with a strong voice, stronger than what I know I could handle answered, "No!" My dad and everyone else in the room looks surprised.
"So, are you bisexual or homosexual?" My father asks, his voice harsh, spitting out both words as if they were poisoned. I am hurt by the way he looks at me, as if I were trash, unworthy of him.
"...homosexual..." I finally answer, my voice losing all the force it once had. My dad gets up, and motions me to follow. I get up, and I am prepared for the beating that I am about to get when I notice that both my sister and my mother are standing in front of me, glaring at my father. "No." The two say in unison, and I am scared for their well beings.
My dad looks from my mother to my sister before sighing. "Ryou, you are an angel, the purist one of all. If you are gay, then other angels will think it is okay to be gay, or even the right thing, and force themselves upon their gender. If men don't marry women, then there are no children to take over the angel dominion." My father explains, looking older than I have ever seen him.
"Dad, people will just stick with whoever they fall in love with. Isn't that how it's supposed to be?" I ask my father. He looks me in the eyes, and I see him processing the information I have just given him, maybe there is a chance- "No." And with that word, my father destroys my dreams.
However, he doesn't stay to see my knees give out, and he doesn't see or hear me start crying. I mean, I love my father to death, but he will never approve of any relationship I'm in, especially not one with his arch rival's son. My mother and sister are by my side within a moment comforting me in any way they can, but I can't really say that it's helping.
Bakura's P.O.V
After Ryou left, it was more so just everyone flirting with the angels, except Seto, who seems content with just screaming at Joey. I swear, those two nearly gave me a headache.
When we left it was really late, and when I got home I just went to bed. Now I'm kinda just sitting here, thinking about Ryou, deciding whether I should attend to the boner at hand or not. Dammit Ryou.
My hand slips under my pants into my underpants and rests on the erection. I fiddle around with it for a while, simply teasing it, only thinking of Ryou all the while. Damn I am hard as a rock.
I force myself out of bed and walk towards the bathroom, softly pumping my erection. I finally turn the shower on, cold. I step in, and I feel the blood leave the previously swollen area, and I relax my body.
All through the shower, my mind is stuck on Ryou, and dirty things that I'll do to him, and vice versa.
Ra, now I want to pound him into the bed. I mean, I did before, but now, I don't know how well I'll be able to hold myself back around him. Shit, as long as he doesn't look as good as normal I'll be fine.
I finish my shower and head to bed, closing my eyes to fall asleep. Of course Ryou is in my dream, and damn he looks good. Must resist urge to...
