Change of Heart
I'm a righter
Ryou sits backwards on the couch, balancing on his knees while his hands grip the back of the couch. His eyes travel through the window, taking in the winter wonderland that has decided to reside in his neighbourhood.
He's staring at the thick blanket of snow that coats the ground. The dim glare of the sun makes it sparkle like a series of diamonds. He lets out a long sigh, causing his Yami to hiss.
Ryou turns his gaze to Bakura, who's slumped on the chair, arm crossed tightly over his chest.
"What's wrong, Bakura?" Bakura, still refusing to make eye contact, mumbles,
"I could ask you the same thing." Ryou chooses to ignore this and turns back to the window. A numbing silence takes over the room once more.
Maybe he should see what Yugi's up to.
Maybe he should take a walk.
But, maybe he shouldn't leave his Yami alone. At this thought Ryou sneaks a glance at Bakura once more. Bakura's head is tilted back. His neck is gently resting against the back of the chair, and his eyes are closed.
Ryou's stare traces the muscular features of Bakura's neck right up to his lips, which appear to be much redder than he thought. These lips suddenly curl into a cunning smirk.
"Like what you see?" Bakura asks mockingly, his eyes still closed. Ryou quickly shifts his gaze back to the window, a faint blush creeping across his cheeks.
"Very funny," he mutters quietly to himself. A few more moments pass and the wonderful view outside becomes hauntingly dull.
Ryou brings a hand to his mouth, suppressing a yawn.
"Maybe we should go on a trip. What do you say, Bakura?" Ryou turns his head once more, suddenly finding himself just inches away from Bakura.
His grip on the couch quickly loosens and he lashes out his arms, desperate to keep his balance. Bakura just watches, amused, making no attempt to help. Finally Ryou loses his balance, landing harshly on his back.
Bakura towers over the younger male, staring down at him blankly. A smile sneaks its way onto Bakura's face and he shrugs his shoulders.
"A vacation? Sounds like fun," Bakura says, the word 'fun' sounding awfully like a growl. Ryou can only wonder what Bakura means by 'fun.'
Bakura leaves Ryou on the floor and walks from the room. Ryou stretches out his arms, not bother to stand up. Instead he stares hollowly at the pale ceiling.
A vacation with his Yami? Maybe he should've thought this through.
A/N: This story was requested by (and is dedicated to) one of my besties, GxTwitch. :)
I can't help but tease people with a short introduction, but don't worry, I think things are gonna get hot. ;)
Here's a little side fact: 'Change of Heart' is my favourite card, and it's a coincidence that a few of my story titles have the word 'heart' in it.
I'll try to update ASAP!
