Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Holiday in the Sun ❯ Three Small Words ( Chapter 10 )

God, the Grand (e): Hullo, Hullo! Well, I am extremely bored so I was like 'Gandz, what should we do?' and he was like 'work on a chapter!' Of course I like 'WEEE!' So here you are!

Gandalf: Yeah, it happened… more or less like that but either way, we still don't own Yu-Gi-Oh!

God: Nope, so read on my little sweater monkeys!

Ryou's Point of View

The sun is rising now, and I open my eyes to reveal I am lying in the sand, but not alone. Bakura has his arms wrapped around me, lying next to me. I peer around me and find a pygmy size fire, just barely crackling. Yugi and Yami are gone now, but Joey and Mai are sleeping much like Bakura and I on the ground, Joey's arms wrapped around her waist. Marik is here now, talking to Malik and Winthrop, who are still up. Serenidy and Noah are in a sleeping bag. Where the sleeping bag came from, only God knows. (A/n: Gandalf did it!)

But back to Bakura. It feels so good to have his arms wrapped around me in what I hope is a loving embrace. I turn over so I'm facing him. His eyes are cracked open, barely enough to see the deep embers of his eyes. I give him a smile and snuggle my head into his chest. Amazingly to me, he tightens his grip on me and smells my hair again.

"You still smell good, even when you spend the whole night outside in a litter box." He says softly. I lift my head slowly from its position and lay it close to his own.

"Bakura." I whisper, looking deep into his eyes, now widening by the second.

"Um…" He trails off, looking almost frightened.

"Do… do you love me?" I ask shyly. His eyes suddenly twitch and he turns a pink shade.

"Bakura, do you? Please answer me?" I muse. His eyes flicker around, glancing at anything but me.

"I um, I… I need to go to the bathroom and think!" He exclaims, pulling suddenly away from me and running off. I bite my lip in my confusion. I don't get it. I didn't beat around the bush or anything. I asked it straight up, just like Malik said I should. I can't hold back the tears from feeling so lonely again.

"God Bakura? Why do you do this? One minute you act as if you'd do anything for me, then the next you step on my heart like an ant! Why?" I whisper, sobbing as he runs off. Maybe it's true; maybe he doesn't care about me.

Normal Point of View

Winthrop and Malik ran over to the weeping form of Ryou, who had curled himself into a ball.

Malik picked him up and wrapped Ryou in a hug.

"What's a matter?" Winthrop asked, hugging the two.

"He, he doesn't love me." Ryou said in barely a whisper.

"Why? What makes you think that?" Malik cooed, tilting Ryou's head up.

"Be, because, I asked him if he loved me and he ran! He ran away you guys! He fucking hates me!" He wailed.

"Ryou, he's just scared. It isn't easy telling someone your feelings about them. Especially when he's only had a few people in over 5000 years that actually cared about him. Ryou, most of his family was killed, and as Yami told Yugi and me before, any lovers he'd had in the past were slain or else back stabbed him. It was no picnic. Then he finally comes along and meets you, and you manage to steal his heart away, and he has no clue how to react or if you feel the same. He says it's wrong because you're his Hikari, his light, but he doesn't know you need each other!" Winthrop informs. For an OC, she sure knows a lot.

"O contraire Winthrop. I say I'd be a lot better with out Marik." Malik said flatly, glancing in the direction Marik had ran after Bakura in.

"Well, yes… but you know deep down somewhere, you love him." Winthrop said with a smile.

"Only because he's my Yami ok? I would NEVER EVER date him though! I love him, but like a brother!" Malik roared. Winthrop smiled and shook her head.

"I don't care, I just wish he'd stop being stupid and love me too. I've been so lonely since my mom and sister have gone away. He knows my loser of a dad is never home and I always feel alone. With him it's different though. It, it's like I've found my soul mate, everything wrong seems to melt away. No matter how many times he's beaten me, or yelled at me, I still love him, and I'd never betray him. I just want to love him and have him love me in return." The poor teen said, tears still streaming down his face.

"Why don't we go out to breakfast ok? We three will talk." Malik said reassuringly, helping Ryou up, then Winthrop.

"What about Joey, Mai, and the other two?" Ryou asked.

"Feh, they'll be fine." Winthrop said with the flick of her hand as they waltzed away, all three holding hands.

***************************************************************** ********************************

Bakura had run all the way to the hotel before he had come to the conclusion that he was totally out of breath.

"Whheeze… wheeezzee.." He wheezed the unmistakable sound of platforms behind him.

"Hiya Baku the Pooh!" Marik shrieked.

"Go.. Whhheeezzee… away!" Bakura tried to snap, but was lost in his heavy breathing.

"Let's go to my room!" Marik said happily, pulling Bakura along with him.

When they finally reached Marik's room, Marik pushed Bakura on the bed.

"Ok, now tell me your problems." Marik said, putting on some glasses and pulling out a clip board and pen. Bakura starred at him strangely.

"What are you talking about you dolt!" Bakura roared.

Marik rolled his lilac orbs. "Ryou, you loser! What did you do to make him cry?" Bakura starred at him wide eyed.

"I… made him cry…" Bakura trailed off, biting his nails nervously. He didn't mean to make him cry… Then again what did he expect running off like that? Nothing really, because as usual, Bakura wasn't thinking.

"He… he asked me if I loved him and I freaked out." Bakura said plainly.

"And do you?" Marik asked, looking thoughtfully at Bakura, head rested on his hand.

"I… don't really know. I think I do, but then I think twice and come to an agreement that I don't need any one but me. Besides, I don't want to hurt him again! What do I do doc?" Bakura pleaded.

"Well, think about his inquiry. Do you love him? It's simple really. When you find the answer, tell him and don't forget to give him roses or something because you acted like a real dick, running away." Marik said simply, crossing his legs.

"Oh… Ok. But he's mad at me, what about that?"

"Give him a few hours, wait until later. That way you've had thinking time, and he's had time to blow off the steam. Win/win situation!" Marik answered.

"Then go tell him you love him like a good boy would." Marik added, grinning.

"What if he says he never wants to see me again?" Bakura asked fearfully.

"Dude, this is Ryou! You sweet little chaste Hikari! Like he couldn't forgive you!" Marik countered, rising from the chair he was in.

"Wait a minute… why am I talking to you anyways?" Bakura hissed.

"Um… because Dr. Phil was busy?" Marik remarked. Bakura shrugged.

"Where are you going anyways?" Bakura asked.

"Well, it's only six a.m. and I am hungry after a whole night of unbelievable sex with Duke, and four other people I've never seen and never will again, so we should go eat!" Marik chirped.

"Eh, sounds ok." Bakura said, "Just let me change first." He said, brushing sand off his shorts.

"Oy! I am going to dress you Bakura, I am going to turn your olive drab into totally fab!"

"Marik… I wasn't even wearing olive." Bakura said, annoyed. Marik ignored his comment as he was too busy pulling out clothing and accessories.

"Eureka! I have found it, I have! The perfect outfit that will make Ryou's knees tremble in all your hotness!" Marik squealed.

"Um…"

"Put it on!" Marik demanded, throwing Bakura in the bath room with the clothes. Bakura knew better then to disagree with Marik, so he did what was asked.

He stepped out, fuming.

"………….". Marik starred at him in awe. Marik thought he looked sexy. Bakura had on tight, silky jean pants that had rhinestones on the belt loops, followed by a maroon glitter belt that said 'Sexy Man' in rhinestone lettering. He also wore black platform boots, and a tight spandex maroon long sleeved shirt. Marik then grabbed eye liner, and defined Bakura's eyes to give them that jagged, sexy, cry-for-help, rebel look.

"Yay! I have found my true calling in life; to be a fashion designer!" Marik realized in awe. Bakura grabbed his arm and pulled him out the door.

"Let's just go eat; ok?"

******************************************************************* ******************************

Later on that day, Ryou, Winthrop, and Malik were still out and about. They had of course gone back to the hotel to change and all that jazz, but soon left as Ryou demanded not to be seen near Bakura… needless to say, he was still quite hurt, and angry.

Malik suggested the three go to a club, which Winthrop, and Ryou agreed to. Little did they know, Marik had the same brilliant idea?

Ryou found himself dancing with some blonde curly haired girl. She was all over him like ugly on Justin Timberlake! They danced, barely a centimeter away from each other. It was like Ryou was a killer robot demanded to dance till his death or something. Malik thought it was Marik feeding him drugs, but then again, Marik had been gone all day.

"Hey babe." The blonde purred in her low, raspy voice she thought was sexy, but was actually quite the opposite.

"Hi." Ryou said shyly.

"Why don't we go to a nice, quiet corner and talk?" She asked. He had no time to answer as she pulled him off. He could've said 'no', but it wasn't like he was with anyone, or had anyone that cared about him or wanted him; so, he went.

Bakura of course noticed his light in a second.

"RYOU!" He exclaimed. Marik of course hadn't noticed, as he was too busy sucking on a plastic pacifier and sticking his hands in some random guy's pants.

Bakura followed his white haired light to a corner, and found there was a trashy looking girl attached to his arm. 'Why is he with her?' He wondered. Ryou was now cornered against a wall, her freckled body crushing his own.

"By the way, I'm Anacortes…" She said in a breathy lulling voice. He starred in shock at the next move she was about to make. She sealed her eyes shut and leaned her head in so it was inches away from Ryou's. He then grimaced, before diving in and kissing her back.

"RYOU, NO!"
