Chapter 2

Ryou woke the next morning to his surprise still wrapped up nice and warm in his Yami's arms. He smiled softly, to Ryou his Yami always looked so beautiful when he slept. It was one of the only times that he wasn't so guarded.

Ryou shifted a little and Yami Bakura opened his eyes looking down at the softer one.

"Good morning." Ryou said sleepily.

Yami Bakura looked at him and moved a strand of hair out of Ryou's face. He reached down kissing him softly and sitting up. Ryou stared at him wide-eyed and Yami Bakura seemed confused by his own actions. He then whispered back to him, "Get dressed your going to be late.

With that he disappeared back into his soul room to ponder what was wrong with him. Ryou smiled, it was more than he had ever expected from him. He couldn't help but be happy this morning. He tried to get out of bed and realized that he hurt, a lot. Ryou sighed he wondered how he was going to explain to everyone why he could barely walk.

He got into the shower and it brought back flashbacks of last night, he sighed remembering. As soon as he felt he good enough to move a little bit more than a shuffle he got out and put his uniform on. He grabbed a poppy seed muffin on his way out the door.

He had rounded a corner walking slowly when he felt someone poke his back. He grimaced and whirled around to find Joey behind him. He smiled at him shyly remembering how their night ended last night.

Joey seemed to remember also giving him a nervous grin. "How are you this morning Ryou?"

"I'm doing okay" he said rubbing his back a little noticing Joey's look he quickly added, "I slept wrong though so my back is a little stiff."

Joey nodded "Sorry to hear that, hey you going over to Yugi's this morning?"

Ryou stopped walking and looked at him "I hadn't really thought about it."

"Well why don't you walk with me over there."

Ryou smiled brightly, "okay."

As they walked down the sidewalk towards the game shop Ryou asked, "So are you going to talk to Mai and Honda today?"

Joey sighed, "Yeah, I probably will after school. I thought about inviting them over to the apartment."

"Are you going to be okay?"

Joey was touched at Ryou's concern, "Who me, yeah, I just want this thing confirmed and be done with it."

"Well if you need to talk afterwards, feel free to call me."

Joey couldn't help but notice the certain happiness and glow that seemed to surround the white haired teen. "What are you so happy about this morning?"

Ryou blushed and just shrugged, "Fresh fall morning who couldn't be happy."

As soon as they got to Yugi's Joey left Ryou's side and approached Mai and Honda. Ryou shook his head and turned away, he really hoped that things went well for them. After a few minutes of hellos and such they all took off for school.

The school day went by slowly for Ryou and he couldn't get his head out of the clouds. His thoughts turned to last night, one in confusion about Joey and the other about his Yami, those he liked as he remembered. The daydreaming though cost him an afternoon in detention.

He caught up with the others after his last class and informed them that he had detention. They sympathized with him, but Joey just joked with him that he glad it wasn't him this time. Ryou laughing pulled Joey aside for a moment.

"Just because I have detention doesn't mean you can't call me later."

He smiled at Ryou, "I told you I would call you already if I needed you."

"Actually why don't you just call me anyways and let me know how it went."

Joey saw the sincerity in those lovely eyes and suddenly felt the urge to hug him. He pushed it down though and nodded. "I will, I promise." He said in a choked whisper.

The voice sent chills through Ryou and he waved to the others as he headed to detention. Detention went by slowly for him but he was able to work on his homework for that night. He got it done quicker then he thought and he didn't know what else to do. So he decided to see what his Yami was up to. He hadn't heard from him since this morning.

/Yami?/

There was no answer.

/Yami?/ Ryou said a little louder.

//What do you want?// he snapped.

Ryou smiled, /Well I have detention right now and had some time. Since I hadn't heard from you in awhile I decided to say hi./

//Well you said it, is their anything else?//

/ I just wanted to see if you wanted to talk./

//Well I don't//

Ryou seemed a little downhearted. /Oh okay…/

Whatever his thought was going to be, it was lost when he felt his Yami mentally grab him kissing him hard. He fought hard not to moan out loud as his arms held him tight.

Yami Bakura glanced down at his gentle one kissing his nose then left. Mentally snickering Ryou came back to the land of reality just in time to be dismissed.

Walking home he thought about that kiss, smiling. He was so completely wrapped up in his own little world that he didn't see the man that he accidentally bumped into.

He turned around and sneered at him. "Hey you little punk, watch what your doing."

Ryou jumped back looking at the rather large man. "I am terribly sorry."

"Are you mocking me boy!"

The man looked and sounded vaguely familiar. He had blond hair and brown eyes, but he couldn't place the face right away. "No, no, I wouldn't."

He grabbed Ryou and held him up to his face, "I think you are you little rich punk. You think your better than me don't you?"

"I don't even know you!"

"Well you will soon now!" He threw Ryou against the front of the building they were standing at. Ryou looked around and was dismayed that most people didn't even notice them or if they did they looked away.

"You know your awful pretty for a boy, you sure you're not a girl?"

Ryou gulped hard, "Yes of course I am sure."

The man soon was standing in front of Ryou and put a hand on either side of him. He pressed his body against him and smelled his neck.

"Have you ever been kissed pretty boy?" The man said closing in on him. Ryou could smell the alcohol on his breath; it was obvious that he was drunk.

The man looked at his little prey; he hadn't seen many girls even as pretty as him. He looked so good and all he wanted to do was kiss the little wise ass. He pressed his lips to him enjoying the softness of his lips. He started to force his tongue in when he felt the boy shift a little and he could have sworn he became taller.

He didn't pay much attention to it until he felt a blinding pain on his lip. He pulled back to find that his lips was bleeding heavily almost bit in two. He looked at the boy who was looking at him coldly now and had a deadly gleam in his eye.

"So you like to play with little boys huh, why don't you play with me."

The man got backed up nervously; his voice had changed, deeper and harder. When the boy got up to him he grabbed him by the hair and yanked him down hard.

"What's the matter, my kisses too much for you." He then brought his face to the other man's ear smiling, he was bending his thumb back holding him down so the man couldn't move. The drunk was whimpering in fear and cried out attracting some attention as he bit his ear hard almost ripping it off.

Yami Bakura pulled back smirking evilly, "Now I am going to let you go, and your going to leave right?"

He nodded.

"Good because I would hate to bite anything else off."

As soon as he released his thumb the man wisely ran quickly down the sidewalk cussing him out. He was quite pissed, he would have to go to the hospital and get patched up. He thought about going home afterwards but knew his son could be there and he didn't want the brat asking too many questions. "You'll get yours pretty boy, wait and see."

Yami Bakura could still feel Ryou shaking mentally. "Weak" He muttered but kept control of the body to get them home, just in case that jerk came back and also he would do it for Ryou to give him a chance to calm down.

When they got home he separated from his other and watched as Ryou ran in the bathroom to wash his face. As soon as he was satisfied that his lips were scrubbed clean, he walked back out with his head down ashamed, facing a glaring Yami Bakura.

"You could have easily had handled that by doing exactly what I did. If it hadn't been for me do you have any idea what would have happened to you?"

The tears welled up in Ryou's eyes; he knew his Yami was right.

"You wait for me to save you all the time, what if I am not there that one time. What if I can't get to you! As much as I want to I can't watch over you every second of the day Ryou, you have to learn to take care of yourself. Maybe I should have let him rape you! Then you would have learned your lesson." Yami Bakura's voice was cold and harsh, but he believed everything he was saying. It scares him sometimes that Ryou is so weak, one of these days he could get really hurt then…

He turned his back on his crying lover. He wouldn't think about that, he couldn't think like that. He heard Ryou sniffle then walk into the bedroom to put his things away. He sighed saying to himself "I just couldn't stand it if you got hurt Ryou can't you see that."

Ryou flopped down on his bed lying on his back, his Yami was right. He was weak, hell even Yugi was stronger in many ways then he was. He had frozen when it came to that pervert, he couldn't protect himself. It just wasn't in him though to be so violent; he felt a tear slip down his face. He wiped it away quickly cursing at himself for it. As soon as he wiped though two more came.

He heard a sigh at the door and didn't have to look to know Yami Bakura was standing there. He heard footsteps then the bed move and he waited to be yelled at more. He was shocked when he felt lips kiss at the tears streaming down his face.

Yami Bakura shifted to where he was laying down next to him and pulled him into a tight embrace not saying anything just holding him close. Ryou closed his eyes seeking comfort in those strong arms. After a few minutes he tried to speak.

"I promise Yami from now…"

"Shhhh Ryou, don't make promises you can't keep. I know you will try but you're too soft and weak, I just worry…." Yami Bakura shut his mouth he had said too much as it was, he sighed as Ryou curled up falling asleep in his arms.

Joey was walking down the sidewalk, towards a familiar house. He had left his apartment not long after Mai and Honda had. He had finally cornered them to confessing everything.

He explained to them that if they wanted to be together he had no problem with it but he was extremely hurt that they went behind his back. After a few heated words between him and Honda about best friends and honesty they went their separate ways.

Joey knew that Honda and him would make up soon but he was still hurt. His old man wouldn't be back to later so he decided to head out and didn't realize until just then he had been walking towards Ryou's house. He smiled as he thought about Ryou, and picked up his pace. He didn't think he would mind if he stopped by.

He soon saw the neat little house come into view and went up to the door. He knocked and waited…no answer. He frowned he saw a light on in the house and knew someone had to be home, maybe he didn't knock loud enough. He knocked again practically banging on it and jumped back falling on his behind as Yami Bakura opened it up glaring at him.

"Uh oh hey there!" Joey said nervously.

Yami Bakura sneered, "What do you want?"

"I just wanted to talk to Ryou." He said standing back up dusting himself off.

"Ryou's asleep."

Yami Bakura was eyeing Joey; a feeling of possessiveness came over him again. He saw the look of deep concern come over the blond.

"Asleep? At this time? Is he okay?"

"Why wouldn't he be?" Yami Bakura said taking a step forward.

"I didn't mean anything by that it's just…"

Yami Bakura felt a soft hand on his arm and turned to see Ryou standing there. "It's okay I'm awake now." He looked out and smiled at Joey.

Joey couldn't help but frown at the site of him, his cheeks were puffy and red, his hair was a mess. He also looked strained and upset. Ryou was definitely not all right.

"Come in Joey." He said quietly.

Joey expected Yami Bakura to leave back to the ring but to his dismay he didn't. Instead he stayed very close to Ryou almost watching over him. Joey walked into the living room and sat down in one of the chairs, while the other two sat on the couch.

"Joey, is everything okay?" Ryou asked.

Joey almost laughed, "I should ask you the same thing. Don't take this wrong Ryou but you look horrible, what happened."

Ryou just shrugged not really wanting to talk about it. "I'm fine, now back to you. Why are you here?"

"I really don't know, I left looking for fresh air and ended up here." He kept glancing at Yami Bakura who hadn't taken his eyes off of him.

"Did things go that badly?"

"Well me and Honda got into it about being honest but that's about it."

Ryou smiled sadly, "You two are too good of friends to let his effect you guys for long."

"Yeah I know but it still bothered me." Ryou nodded understanding, then stood up. "I'm in the mood for a nice cup of tea would you like some?" Joey nodded watching Ryou walk to the kitchen. He turned back to facing a glaring Yami Bakura.

Joey sighed, "Is he okay?"

Yami Bakura was surprised that he would even ask him that. "He said he was didn't he, if he wanted you to know different he would have told you."

Joey studied him for a moment. `What happened to those two, Yami Bakura has gotten even more over protective of him then usual. If I didn't know better I would think that he actually cared for Ryou.'

Ryou came back handing Joey the tea and Joey grabbed his wrist gently. He pulled Ryou down to his knees in front of him. Ever mindful of Yami Bakura he studied him. "Ryou talk to me, come on I know something is wrong."

Yami Bakura clinched his fist trying his best not to jump up and pound the shit out of him. How dare he lay a hand HIS Ryou.

Ryou sighed and looked at his Yami then back at Joey. He could see the possessive look he was giving the blonde. He shook his head then looked up to see the concern in his eyes, wanting to know what was wrong. "I was attacked today."

"WHAT!" Joey almost dropped his cup.

Ryou reached up and took it out of his hand sitting it on the table beside the chair. "Some guy got upset that I bumped into him and he tried to take out his anger on me."

Joey absently let a finger trail up Ryou's arm. "Are you okay? He didn't hurt you did he?"

"What do you think," Yami Bakura smirked. "Let's put it this way the idiot won't be able to kiss anybody for a very long time."

Ryou smiled at his Yami and looked back at Joey, "He tried to kiss me and well Yami didn't take it very well."

Joey looked up and smiled at Yami Bakura, "You hit him?"

"He bit him." Ryou said almost proudly.

Joey burst out laughing, "Bit him?"

"Yes very hard. Want me to show you?" He said evilly stopping Joey's laughing immediately.

"Yami!" Ryou hissed.

"Well at least he got what he deserved, though I would like to catch this jerk and punch his lights out myself."

Yami Bakura's eyes narrowed, "And why is that?"

Joey didn't understand the unstable ground he was standing on with Ryou's Yami. "Do you think you're the only one who doesn't want to see Ryou hurt?":

Before he knew it he had a very angry Yami Bakura straddling his lap with his hands grasping his shirt.

"Yami!"

Joey was shocked "Yami Bakura, I don't understand…"

He turned and looked at Ryou still down on the floor. "Ryou can you give us a minute I want to talk to your friend."

Ryou shook his head, "No Yami I don't want him hurt."

Yami Bakura sighed, "I'm not going to hurt him you idiot but I want to talk to him about something."

Ryou looked hurt but nodded knowing better than to argue with him; giving an apologetic glance to his friend he went into his room and laid down on his bed.

/Please don't hurt him?/

//For the last time, I am not going to hurt him. I told you that already.//

Yami Bakura still holding Joey's collar in his hand looked him in the eye. "I have been watching you."

"Uh ok and why is that?"

"Ryou is mine…I don't share very well."

"What! Do you think I want Ryou?"

Yami Bakura hissed, "Don't you? I saw last night the way you looked at him, you can't hide these things from me."

"Look Ryou is one of my best friend…"

"Tell me the truth Joey. Tell yourself the truth what do you feel for Ryou. Look deep into yourself and figure it out."

Joey thought about it then said, "Ryou confuses me. He is one of my best friends; he's kind, caring, gentle, and loyal. But you know all of that already."

Yami Bakura loosened his grip a little but keeping his gaze locked on Joey's. "Go on."

Joey sighed, "I guess lately though I have been noticing him more and I think that's why I am kind of relieved with mine and Mai's breakup."

Yami Bakura sat back looking at him, "What am I going to do with you now is the question. He cares for you greatly; he may even have feelings for you that he doesn't know about yet. He is very innocent at times and blind. Like I said before I don't share very well, but that doesn't mean I want him unhappy."

Joey was trying to concentrate on his words but Yami Bakura was sitting in a rather interesting place and seemed not to notice. Joey though found it very distracting and not all together uncomfortable.

Yami Bakura looked him over his eyes taking in the blonde. He ran a hand through his hair and smirked "Yes I could see why Ryou would like you though, you are quite pleasing to the eye."

Joey didn't know whether to be scared or excited. It wasn't everyday your best friends insane Yami complimented you.

Yami Bakura then grabbed a fist full of Joey's hair and yanked his mouth towards his. He kissed him firmly, and then pulled back. "Whatever you decide Joey Wheeler you just better make sure that Ryou isn't hurt or you will have to deal with me. I may not like sharing him, but under the circumstances…" he kissed him again, " I can try to get along with you."

Joey nodded nervously; Yami Bakura got up smirking at him and went in the back room to get Ryou. He walked in to find Ryou on bed lying on his stomach staring out the window. He sat down beside him and rubbed his hand up and down his back. "See he is unhurt"

"What did you want to talk to him about?" He asked still looking out the window.

"I just wanted to make sure of something and I had to make up my mind."

"What about?"

Yami Bakura smiled and then kissed Ryou deeply running his tongue across his mouth. Ryou opened his mouth and let the other one's in. He moaned at the feel of it and closed his eyes. Yami Bakura sat up and smiled. "He's still waiting on you Ryou, I am going to get some rest."

Ryou nodded as his ring glowed getting up off the bed, as he passed by his mirror he couldn't help but notice that Joey was right…he looked horrible. He grabbed a brush and drug it through his hair quickly trying to put some order back into it.

When he got back to the living room he saw Joey sitting there spacing out. For a moment he worried that maybe his Yami had done something to him as he walked over and looked down at him. Joey seemed to break out of whatever he was thinking about and gave Ryou a smile.

"Are you okay?" Ryou asked.

Joey nodded, "Yeah no problem."

"Do I even want to know, "

"I'm not sure, at least not right now." Joey wasn't going to tell him.

Ryou nodded knowing that he wasn't going to get anywhere, "Oh okay, hey you hungry?"

Joey laughed, `I'm always hungry."

"Would you like me to cook something?"

Joey thought about it. After Yami Bakura had left, he had really thought about what he said. What did he feel for Ryou deep down? The answer he came up with was that he really didn't know but he wanted to find out. "No actually, let's go out. My treat."

"What! Joey no, I will not let you buy me food."

"Oh come on first of all you cooked last night and as tempting as it is to have you do it again I want to repay you. Second of all look at you, how much could you actually eat."

Ryou put his hands on his hips, "Are you saying I'm too skinny?"

"No, not at all. Your just not like Honda and I, who probably could cut back on what we eat and lose a few pounds."

"Your not fat Joey, by any means."

"Oh really how would you know?" Joey teased and smiled when he saw the blush come across Ryou's cheeks and nose.

"I…I…Oh just come on will you."

Joey walked outside and shivered, he turned to Ryou as he was coming out the door. You may want to get a jacket, it's getting cold out. Ryou stopped and thought about it before turning back inside. He came out with a light suede Jacket that was the same color brown as his eyes.

He looked at what Joey was wearing a black T-shirt. "What about you though?"

"Me, Oh I'm fine. I like the cold." He said the whole time trying to keep his teeth from chattering.

Ryou laughed, "Sure you do hold on." He ran back inside and came out with a scarf and a large gray pull over sweater.

"My father took his jacket with him and I don't have one that would fit, me being so skinny and all." He said with a wink, "But here this is his, he won't mind you borrowing it."

Joey took it and slipped it on, it was defiantly a lot warmer than the T-shirt he had been wearing. Ryou then reached up and wrapped the scarf around him smiling. "There you may like being cold but it makes me cold just watching you shiver."

"Hey thanks Ryou really." Joey said warmer now and not just because of the heavier clothes.

"No problem, so where are we going?"

"I was thinking about going for a burger and some fries down at the diner, if that's okay with you."

Ryou smiled brightly, he hadn't been there in awhile. "Are you going to buy me a shake too?"

"Do you want a shake?":

Ryou nodded emphatically and Joey laughed, he was happy that Ryou seemed to be feeling better. The attack on him shook him up more than he realized.

"Well then dear Ryou you will have your shake and whatever you else your little heart desires." Trying to be pretentious while faking a British accent and failing miserably.

Ryou cracked up, "Why thank you dear Joey, it will be a honor to have you buy me dinner." Of course he didn't have to fake the accent but played along anyway.

Laughing the two teens walked into the diner. Ryou sat down his cheeks red from the cold. Joey found himself staring at him, he liked to see Ryou like this… happy.

They ordered their dinner of two cheeseburgers, two fries, a coke and a strawberry shake. Ryou smiled at Joey and was glad to see him feeling better. He didn't know what Honda was thinking but he could give him a peace of his mind. It didn't matter that Joey didn't mind breaking up with Mai, Joey was his friend. Friends don't do that to each other.

"Your very forgiving Joey" Ryou finally said.

"Why do you say that?"

"I was just thinking of Honda."

"I know Honda well enough, he didn't mean to do it to hurt me…"

Before Joey could finish they brought their food and Ryou smiled wildly at the shake that was for him. "Hmmm strawberry my favorite."

Joey grinned and started eating his food watching Ryou out of the corner of his eye. They soon finished their dinner and were out the door laughing at the fact that Joey had accidentally made a waiter trip on the way out spilling the food on several customers. They didn't stay around to make sure that everything was okay, not with the looks that they were given.

Ryou holding his stomach stopped and leaned against a light post, "You do know that we will never be able to show our faces there again."

Joey leaned beside him, "Yeah I know tell me about it. Did you see that girl with the salad on top of her head I thought her father going to come after us."

Ryou laughing still, "I think the man with the cheesecake in his lap was about to cry."

Joey turned to look at him to say something else and noticed how close they were. The setting sun was giving his normally white hair a golden tent and Joey's breath caught. He glanced down at his lips and they looked so soft, he remembered how Yami Bakura's lips felt and wondered absently if Ryou's would feel the same way.

Ryou saw Joey's peculiar expression and looked up in his eyes. Ryou never really noticed the color of Joey's eyes before. They reminded him of honey cleverly hidden by the hair hanging in front of his face. He liked the feel of having Joey so close and he got a little closer. It was starting to get cold and Joey looked so warm.

Joey seeing this put an arm around him and whispered, "Cold?"

Ryou just nodded and blushed as Joey pulled him tight against him. He was warm… so very warm, Ryou snuggled into his chest wrapping his arms around his waste. He didn't know why he was doing it, except that it just felt so right.

Joey laid his head on top of Ryou's enjoying the way he fit up against him; he could do this all day. But they were out in public and were getting many weird stares. He particularly didn't care but he knew how sensitive Ryou was.

"Come on let's get you home," He said gently.

Ryou nodded and with Joey's arm holding him close to his side they walked home, each just taking comfort in the other. When they got to Ryou's house, he invited Joey in who was more than happy about it. Joey walked in behind him shutting the door and took off the sweater. Ryou noticed how cold the house had gotten and went over to turn on the heat, he then walked into his bedroom.

Joey went into the living room waiting for Ryou to come back. He thought about what just happened and finally figured out his feelings for the snow haired angel. He didn't know if it was love but he knew it was close.

Ryou came back in carrying a quilt that he had gotten off his bed. He sat next to Joey and offered him part of it. Joey accepted and Ryou turned the TV on. They sat there watching TV together trying to figure out what was going on between them.

`Where is this coming from? Do I like Joey? Since when?' He thought about the last few years that he has known him and realized just now how much he did care. He was the only one besides Seto that he would go to for anything. He was also the only one that could make him smile no matter how bad his life was at the moment.

//About time you realized your feelings for him.//

/How did you know?/ Ryou asked he could feel the jealousy coming off of Yami Bakura.

//I could tell.// He snapped.

/Your angry?/

//…//

/Yami?/

//I don't like it Ryou, your supposed to be mine! // He then gave a sigh, // but I can't stop you from feeling what you do. He better treat you well.//

Ryou smiled, he loved his Yami that he knew for sure. He looked over at Joey and saw him smiling at him. He blushed then curled up next to him. Joey sighed wrapping his arm around him, neither really wanting to say anything they just cuddled up nice and warm watching TV together.

Ryou lost track of time enjoying the company, he turned his head and looked up at Joey. He was totally into whatever they were watching and didn't realize that he had been lightly rubbing Ryou's neck. It was sending little chills down his spine, and he couldn't help but snuggle up closer.

Joey looked down and smiled, he couldn't believe this was happening. Ryou was so beautiful and perfect; this was like a dream to him. He felt like he had just won the lottery and Ryou was what he got instead of the money. `I would give it all up just to be here right now.'

He also realized that he was feeling things that he never felt when he was with Mai. He leaned down and smelled his hair… he loved that smell.

Ryou giggled, "What are you doing?"

"Smelling you."

Ryou giggled "Why?"

"Because I like the way you smell" He said simply.

"You do?"

Joey didn't answer Ryou looked so cute craning his neck up to look at him like that, his hair falling over half his face and eyes sparkling. He ran his thumb down Ryou's face and stared into it, Ryou closed his eyes loving the feeling.

Joey tensed he couldn't stand it anymore; he had to know how those soft lips felt. He reached down and kissed him ever so softly. Ryou almost jerked back surprised before he relaxed.

Joey took it slow, very slow; he didn't want to scare Ryou away from him. The feel of his lips was incredible like nothing that he had ever felt before, they far surpassed soft and warm. When he felt Ryou turn his body around towards him and his arm go around his neck, he deepened the kiss.

Ryou felt Joey lick his lips and moaned as he opened them. Ryou couldn't believe this was happening… he was kissing Joey and he was very good at it. He felt Joey softly explore his mouth and his hands tightened around him to bring him closer.

They soon pulled apart and looked at each other panting. Joey's face was flushed and his eyes sparkled, Ryou thought he never looked so beautiful. He licked his lips and he could still taste Joey's mouth on it.

Joey stared into his eyes; "I hope I didn't upset you just now?"

Ryou smiled panting a little, "Do I look upset, where did you learn to kiss like that?"

Now it was Joey's turn to blush, "I don't know it's just how I always have kissed."

"Well can you kiss me again?"

Joey groaned wrapping his hands in the soft white hair and pulled him towards him. He kissed him hard and long tasting every bit of his mouth feeling Ryou tremble underneath him. He pulled apart again and smiled.

Ryou closed his eyes and buried his head into Joey's shirt. He couldn't believe how happy he was at the moment. Joey looked up at the time and noticed it was eleven o'clock. `If I stay then something more is sure to happen and I don't want to do that to him yet. It's too early in our relationship,' he sighed, `but how I want him'.

He pulled back and kissed him again softly, "I hate to do this but I should really get home."

Ryou looked at the clock and gasped. "Are you going to be okay going home this late, do you want to call anyone to pick you up."

"Nah, I will be fine, I am out like this all the time."

He stood up Ryou following him to the door grabbing the sweater he handed it to him. "Here at least where this, you can return it to me later."

Joey started to protest when he heard another voice, "If he said wear it, you wear it."

He looked up to find Yami Bakura standing behind Ryou now. Joey grabbed the sweater nodding and put it on.

"There now you won't get sick," Ryou said smiling.

"Hey Ryou what do you want to do about the other's, do you want to tell them?"

"About what?"

"Us."

Ryou thought about it, was there an us. Could there be an us? Yes there defiantly could be, "I don't know, I would actually prefer if you don't mind to keep it to ourselves." He looked at him very seriously, "at least until were sure where this is going. I won't kid you Joey I want to get to know you better in so many ways but I can't help but be a little nervous."

He felt a hand on his back and was thankful for his Yami, he was taking this awful well. He looked around to see him glaring at Joey…well as good as it's going to get. He was surprised that he would even allow Joey this close to him, not as possessive as he was of him.

Joey came up to him ignoring his Yami and pulled him to him. "I know and so am I Ryou, but I will be honest with you also. I have felt things tonight that I have never felt and if you're willing to give me a chance then that's all I can ask."

Ryou smiled and pulled him down for a kiss. He felt his other wrap his arm around him from behind tired of being ignored. He chuckled into Joey's mouth and pulled back. "Sorry about that."

Joey smiled then looked at Yami Bakura. "Whatever you may think of me, I will not purposely hurt him. I care to much for him, I just wanted you to know."

"We will see." Was all he said before he leaned down and kissed Ryou's neck. Joey was a little surprised and a lot turned on by it. Ryou knew he was doing it on purpose letting Joey know what he was in for if he chose to pursue a relationship with him. It was going to take some time for his Yami to fully accept Joey and Joey would just going to have to understand that he loved his Yami who was a very big part of his life.

Joey smiled then ran a finger down Ryou's face who asked, "see you in the morning?"

"You better" and he kissed him one more time before leaving and shutting the door.

Ryou sighing leaned back into his Yami. "I take it this is what you two were talking about earlier."

Yami Bakura chuckled nipping at Ryou's neck, "I just told him that he better not hurt you."

Ryou moaned a little, "Joey is my friend first and foremost. I don't think he would hurt me."

He turned Ryou around and pulled him towards him. "As long as he realizes that you are mine, I am allowing Joey to share you with me" He then pulled him closer whispering, "I don't do that often, you should be thankful."

Ryou looked up at him, "So what do you think of Joey?"

"What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean, do you think you could like him at all?"

Yami Bakura looked at him shocked before smiling wickedly and picking him up with little effort carrying him to the bedroom.

"That's what I thought," he said then daringly starting to kiss on his neck. Yami Bakura all but threw him on the bed before pouncing on him, Ryou giggled.

Yami Bakura frowned a little "Oh so now your laughing huh I will show you to laugh at me." With that he kissed Ryou hard and let his hand started to rub him through his pants. Ryou groaned and wanted more, he tried to get to his Yami but his hand was grabbed. "Not tonight little Ryou, at least not that."

Ryou opened his mouth to question him but hissed instead when he felt Yami Bakura unbutton his pants and pull them off of him. He ran his hands up and down Ryou's legs loving the feel of the muscles underneath before pulling of his underwear. He leaned down putting the member in his mouth and began sucking gently at first. Ryou arched his back closing his eyes.

Yami Bakura smirked then sat up looking at him. "I see you have stopped laughing."

Ryou just nodded and watched as Yami Bakura went back to what he was doing. It didn't take long to bring Ryou to the edge wrapping his hands into Yami Bakura's hair. It drove him nuts thought that his Yami wouldn't allow him to touch him.

Yami Bakura bit him slightly and Ryou jumped in pain… he chuckled a little before soothing it by sucking on the one spot. Ryou glared at him before closing his eyes and lost himself into the feeling that his Yami was producing. He felt him take him all the way in again and he couldn't help but move his hips to meet it. It seemed the faster Yami Bakura moved his mouth the more intense it was getting,

Ryou, who had lost all conscious thought, half sobbed when he finally tumbled over into bliss. Yami Bakura crawled back up to Ryou who was crying softly and smiling. He was overwhelmed by the intense emotions he had for his Yami all of a sudden and he just wish he could show it. Yami Bakura seemed to understand this and smiled a little before gently kissing him. Ryou could taste himself and found it highly erotic. "Go shower and change. It's late you should be asleep and with that he disappeared back into the ring.

Ryou shook his head as he wiped his eyes, ever since they accepted each other things had changed more than he ever hoped. He got out of bed doing as he was told very quickly. He could feel his eyes closing in the shower and he made it a quick one. As soon as he got his pajamas on he curled up in bed and was asleep in a matter of seconds.

When Joey got home he found not only his father had been home for hours but he was in an extremely bad mood.

"Where have you been?" He snapped at his son as he walked into the room.

Joey surprised that he actually noticed him said "Um over at a friends house."

"On school night boy?"

"Well he was helping me with a problem." Joey tried to explain.

His father sneered "What problem is that?"

"I broke up with Mai."

"About time I didn't like that slut anyway."

Joey's face turn red "Pop she's still my friend."

"Hmph." Was all he would say.

He got closer and noticed the stitches on his face. "What happened to you?"

He rubbed his lips then ear, "oh this I was in a fight tonight. Nothing you need to concern yourself with. Now go to bed you're bugging me."

Joey nodded smart enough to know when to shut up and went on to bed. He slipped off his clothes and jumped into his bed with only his underwear on. He couldn't have been happier and closed his eyes seeing certain white haired angel. He was defiantly going to have interesting dreams tonight.

Joey's father watched his son leave before going back to drinking his whisky sour. He was thinking about what happened today and was still extremely pissed. He had seen the uniform the boy had on and knew he went to his brat's school. `Oh you will pay pretty boy, one way or another.'

He closed his eyes and thought about the teen and remembered how sweet he looked…well at least before he bit him. He felt himself get hard and he unzipped his pants putting his hand in. He started massaging it thinking about all the things he was going to do to him. `You caught me off guard last time sweet heart, next time you will be all mine.' He leaned his head back and climaxed as his hand had pumped himself hard. He grimaced at the mess now in his pants and decided that it was time for bed.

`Yes you will be mine.' Was his last thought before falling asleep.
