I decided to update for you. By the way, thanks to all of my reviewers!

I still wasn't sure why I had decided to do this- after all, I don't think I had ever looked through these pictures before. Back when Ryou was alive, I just didn't think about it; I already saw him every day. And after he had died, I felt better when I didn't see him or think about him. That was just how I dealt with things. So I didn't even remember some of the pictures. But the next one was very familiar to me. It was from back when we were in high school.

Ryou and I had decided to go skiing over Christmas break, even though neither of us had ever done it before. But while I had quickly figured out the basics, Ryou was still falling every two seconds. I would just glide down the hill and laugh at him.

Eventually, we ended up meeting at the bottom. I smirked. "Wow, Ryou, you really suck at this, huh?"

He started to pout. "Hey, that's mean! I'm not THAT bad!" I just laughed harder. He was trying to be intimidating, but he really just looked like a puppy. I ruffled his already messy hair.

"Okay, if you're so great, then go on that." I pointed toward the most challenging slope, not too far from the bunny hills we had been stuck on.

"Fine!" He stormed off, turning his head to stick his tongue out at me as he walked. About halfway there, he tripped and fell flat on his face, so I had to stifle a laugh. But he kept going until he was at the top. He was up high enough that, from where I was standing, he just looked like a speck.

He actually did a halfway decent job until he got to the bottom, where it got really steep .He slipped the rest of the way down. As soon as he hit the ground, he let out a painful scream. I ran towards him. Oh god, it was my fault, I shouldn't have told him to do this, damn it…

When I got over to him he was still sitting there, trying not to cry. I gasped. His leg looked broken. "Bakura…" he whispered.

"Hang on, Ryou, I'll go get one of those first aid guys." I started running away, but he grabbed my ankle and pulled me back.

"No… don't leave me here alone…" he begged. I sighed. He had a point; who knew how long it would take me? I caught him by surprise when I picked him up and started walking toward the cabin. I looked down at him. He was blushing a bit.

When we got back, I laid him down on the couch. "Just stay here and warm up- it's better than sitting in the snow. I'll come back as soon as I can, okay?" He nodded, and I ran back outside in the cold.

Several hours later, Ryou was still on the couch, and I was sitting next to him. His leg was in a cast now.

"I'm sorry," he whispered. "You were looking forward to this trip for so long, and I had to ruin it by getting hurt." I smiled softly. This was just like him; to be more worried about how I felt than what shape he was in.

"It's fine, Ryou. Really. Don't worry about it." He grinned back up at me.

"Oh, good. I thought you were mad at me, 'Kura." I put a hand on his shoulder.

"No way, Ryou. I could never be mad at you. Besides, we've got all the time in the world, right? We can come again."

"Right. All the time in the world."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

We never did actually get around to going back there. It was too bad, really. Ryou may not have been that good of a skier, but he thought that the mountains were the most beautiful place in the world.

"All the time in the world, huh?" I whispered to myself. "What a load of shit."
