Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ New Beginnings ❯ Chapter 3 ( Chapter 3 )

A/N: First… I would like to thank all of the reviewers again and to Odie Kaiba…you are too much! Ryou chan, I can't believe I did that. Have you ever looked at a word and it just didn't look right. I had misspelled it originally and the spell checker brought it up and I kept thinking that cannot be right but let it go. It wasn't until you said something I was like DOH! Anyway thank you again and bows humbly to all who have reviewed this and my other story.

Second…Yami Bakura… I never realized how hard it would be to try and keep Yami Bakura in character. If he seems Out of Character I am so sorry, I really am trying but I can't help it. It's so much easier to write about Seto…**Huggles Seto Plushie**

Disclaimer: Guess what! I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh. I know all of your are shocked and so am I, but believe me when I tell you I am trying to rectify the situation as soon as possible. (I really hate these things.) >_<

Chapter 3

Finally it was Friday and the weekend was here. It was a long weekend too; the students had a faculty day off on Monday.

Ryou glanced at Joey sitting a few desks, over. He couldn't help but smile, `He looks so cute!' He thought. They were having a surprise quiz in Social Science and Joey was currently chewing on his eraser thinking. Ryou smiled, he had wanted to see him before school this morning but had woken up late and had rushed to class almost not making it.

Joey glanced over at him catching his eye and winked. Ryou had to keep from giggling and winkled his nose at him. Catching the teacher's eye they went back to their test that neither one was fairing very well on. They were having a hard time keeping their minds on their work. After class they met up out in the hall.

"Morning" Joey said grinning.

"Good morning to you also." Ryou said. He wanted so badly to reach up and give him a kiss but knew that it wasn't a good idea.

Suddenly they heard a nose behind them, "Joey! Ryou! Wait up!"

They turned around to see Honda, Yugi and Anzu hurrying to them. Ryou could feel Joey tense as they came near; he knew he was still sore about what happened last night with Honda.

"Hey you two where were you this morning?" Yugi asked his big eye's shining.

They gave each other a weird look, "You were late?" Ryou asked.

Joey laughed, "I suppose you were also."

For some reason they thought this was the funniest thing in the world and were now leaning against the wall laughing. The other three were looking at them like they had gone completely insane.

Yugi looked at Honda and he just shrugged. "Come on you two, you don't want to be late for class do you?" Anzu said.

They shook their heads and followed them to their next class, Gym. They were lucky they all had gym together this year it made playing games a lot more fun.

Honda walked up next to Joey, "Hey Joey I'm sorry about last night."

Joey turned his head and looked at him, "You know Honda, don't worry about it. I was out of line too. Let's just forget about it."

"So you forgive me? I mean for everything?"

"Hey you're my one of my best friends and I ain't allowing any girl to come between us."

He held out his hand to shake, Honda smiling grasped it and suddenly found Joey in his face. "But you ever go behind my back again I will cream ya, go it.'

Honda nodded and Joey let got smiling. "Good lets get to Gym"

The boys went in the locker room to change and Ryou and Joey found it very difficult to keep their eyes to themselves. Ryou was blushing the whole time and Joey kept his head turned. Yugi noticing this wondered what was up with the two.

As soon as they were changed they left the locker room and met up with Anzu. They formed lines and did their roll call, before going out on the track. They had a run a mile today and Ryou hated running. So he and Yugi ran together slowly while, Honda, Anzu and Joey raced to see who could beat who… Anzu won of course.

After gym they headed towards the showers, Ryou and Joey staying as far away from each other as possible. Joey was almost dressed when he noticed Ryou coming back to the locker with a towel wrapped around his waist. Joey couldn't help but admire Ryou, he wasn't very muscular but he was lean in a good way, he wasn't bony nor was he flabby.

He watched the way the water dripped down off his hair and make it's way slowly down his pale back. He could imagine licking the trail of water back up his back and burying his face into his wet hair. He glanced down at the towel and wondered what it would be like to take it off of him. He felt a heat spread through him and hit his head against the locker. `Oh man, why did I have to go and think about that?'

He felt a hand on his shoulder and he turned around, Ryou was standing next to him looking concerned. He reached up and softly checked his forehead where he had hit it. "Are you okay?" He asked.

His hand was warm making it worse and he couldn't move. "Hello Joey?" Joey looked at his shoulder, his hand was still on it and it was making him tremor.

"Uh yeah Ryou just fine!" He finally said nervously.

"Are you sure?"

"Uh yeah just great! You know me not a problem here." Joey said rubbing his forehead.

Ryou removed his hand and put it on his hips." Your not very good at lying, you do know that."

Joey looked at him mischievously and smiled, "I will tell you later." He whispered.

Ryou nodded and went back to getting dressed. On their way out of the locker room Joey walked up to him almost touching him.

"Hey Ryou…what are you doing for lunch?"

"I guess meet up with everyone as usual."

"Nuh uh, not today, meet me out by the steps."

"Why?" Ryou stopped and gave him an odd look.

He just winked and secretly brushed his hand across Ryou's back before he walked passed him and joined the rest of the group.

Yugi, Ryou and Anzu left the other two to walk to Advanced Chemistry together. Yugi and Anzu were holding hands and Yugi looked like he was on top of the world. It made Ryou a little sad though, he knew what Anzu felt for Yugi was not the same as what he felt for her. He just hoped one day he would find the happiness that he deserves.

The class went by quickly for Ryou and he rushed out before Anzu and Yugi could see him. He headed outside to the steps to wait for Joey. He soon felt a hand on his elbow and a voice whisper softly in his ear "come on."

Ryou looked back and smiled at him nodding. They walked a little to a secluded wooded area behind the sports complex.

"So are you going to tell me why you are beating up on defenseless gym lockers with that hard head of yours?" Ryou said turning around to look at him.

"It's your fault," Joey said backing him up grinning.

"My fault how is it my fault?" Ryou asked liking the look Joey was giving him.

"Because your you… and you look way to tempting in a towel, all wet from the shower." His eyes were starting to haze over and Ryou felt his back press against the trunk of a tree.

Ryou's eyes half closed when he felt Joey's breath on his face, "well you're going to have to learn control Joey."

He leaned down and flicked out his tongue to Ryou's lips barely whispering, "hmm you're probably right, but I like losing control every now and then."

Before Ryou could respond Joey smothered his lips with his own, Ryou's arms wrapped around Joey's neck pulling him closer. Joey groaned a little and pressed his body against his snow angel.

Joey pulled back for a moment looking deep into dark brown eyes before he attacked Ryou's neck kissing it under the ear. Ryou felt himself go weak and Joey held on to him. "I have wanted to do this all day," He said panting going back to kissing his neck.

Ryou just nodded and moved his head so Joey had better access. Joey ran his hands up and down Ryou's sides pressing him even harder against the tree, it scraped his back a little but he really didn't care at the moment.

Joey could feel Ryou's excitement and it felt wonderful. He momentarily forgot where he was and reached down to rub the length in the jeans.

Ryou groaned against him and trembled. "That feels very nice."

Joey went back to kissing him rubbing him harder working him up, he wasn't even thinking about the consequences if they got caught. Having Ryou wanting this was almost more than he could take. He wanted to pleasure him right then and there, that's all that mattered.

Ryou felt Joey starting to rub his hand faster and he couldn't help but move against it. Ryou was losing himself and tried to come to reason "Joey…Joey…We can't…I can't…" Joey was beyond reason as he felt Ryou responding so well.

Ryou was now rolling his head back and forth as Joey was squeezing harder losing himself kissing Ryou's collarbone. Ryou reached down finding Joey's own hardness started to do the same to him. It surprised Joey and he shuddered. He was already pretty much worked up from what he had done to Ryou that it wasn't going to take much.

Now that he was pleasuring Joey as well Ryou really got into it. Joey was grinding his hips a little and so was Ryou. Ryou was biting at Joey's neck loving the feeling of Joey's hardness underneath his hand. Joey whispered, "Ryou… don't stop please…"

Ryou just nodded his head and it felt lighter than normal. He was starting to feel that familiar pressure that he wanted so much. He moaned some rubbing Joey harder and faster. Joey kissed him hard devouring his mouth.

Ryou eyes suddenly went wide and he cried out into Joey's mouth as he released hard. It didn't take Joey much more than that to follow him throwing his head back moaning incoherent words.

Panting Joey braced his arms on either side of the tree and looked at Ryou who smiled. They then burst out laughing remembering where they were, "well if lunch is going to be like this everyday I am going to have to bring a change of clothes." Ryou said.

Joey just grinned and kissed him again lovingly. "I can't believe I just did that, I am so sorry."

"Hey I wasn't exactly fighting you off you know."

Joey laughed, "Do you think we should go in and try to clean ourselves up."

`

"That would probably be a very good idea."

He looked at the tree they were leaning on, "I will never look at trees the same again."

Ryou cracked up laughing pulling towards him again kissing him. Joey smiled, "come on or we're going to be uncomfortable the rest of the day." Walking back Ryou felt on top of the world. Well that was until his Yami made his presence known.

//Feel better? // A snide comment came.

Ryou sighed, /your mad aren't you? /

// You let him do that to you in public? // He yelled.

/And you wouldn't have? /

//…//

/That's what I thought, you shouldn't be so jealous. /

//Jealous? You think I am Jealous? Of him Ryou? Give me a break! What if someone had seen you how do you think your friends would have handled it? What about your father? Jealous of the idiot no! He just needs to have more respect. //

/Yami I didn't mean it that way, it's just something that happened. Neither…/

//I know what happened idiot! Give me a break, why don't you two just go to the middle of the school and fuck like the horny rabbits that you are.//

Ryou stopped walking and Joey looked at him, he had that look. He sighed and waited.

Ryou knew he was treading on dangerous grounds but he couldn't stop himself. / What's the matter you think that maybe he would be a better than you in bed, is that it, your worried that I might actually enjoy his body better than yours! /

Joey was surprised when the ring glowed and a very pissed off Yami Bakura jumped out. Ryou blinked for a moment and realized what had happened. He knew he had gone to far, he shouldn't have pushed him like that.

Yami Bakura turned his burning eyes on Joey. Thankfully they were still behind one of the buildings of the sports complex and that nobody was around. Joey backed up a little under the intense gaze he then turned it back to Ryou.

"Do you want me to find out Ryou, if you think I am so bothered by it. Maybe I should find out and let you know." He turned his gaze back to the confused blonde wondering what in the world he was talking about.

Ryou sighed, "Yami please this is not…"

"You said it yourself that I am worried about it. Maybe I should find out if I have anything to worry about at all."

Joey was about to ask what was going on but found himself against the building with Yami Bakura pinning him to it. Ryou gasped and ran to them.

Before he could reach them though Yami Bakura crushed his mouth to Joey's kissing him hard. Ryou stopped and clinched his fist. This was his fault, if he hadn't pushed his Yami like this then he wouldn't have been this mad. Joey was in shock, and found the kiss not to be so bad. Since he didn't know what had been said he had now way of knowing that Yami Bakura was trying to prove something.

He pulled back glaring at him, "So you want to fuck Ryou do you?"

"Yami please!" Ryou cried horrified and walked up to them slowly.

Joey looked at him confused he couldn't move though not with the way he was pinned. "What about me Joey Wheeler, Do you want to fuck me as well? Is that what we are to you, you're horny and want something to help you get off."

"No way I told you last night that I cared for him and I wouldn't hurt him. I don't go back on what I say."

"Fine so you want more from him…" he felt an arm on his shoulder and he looked to find a pleading Ryou there.

"What?" He snapped.

"Please don't hurt him Yami please, I didn't mean what I said I was just upset at you."

He daringly laid his head on his dark lover's shoulder and Yami Bakura sneered at him before turning to Joey. "Kiss me"

"What?"

"Kiss me, I want to see what you're made of."

He let go of Joey's arms and backed up bring Ryou with him. He moved Ryou to the side and with a look that said `stay there'. Joey thought for a moment about just punching his lights out. `No then he might hurt Ryou,' He looked Ryou's Yami over and had to admit he did look good. He reminded Joey of a thrill ride, he could be extremely fun but extremely dangerous. He walked up to Yami Bakura and glanced at Ryou. `If I kiss him will Ryou get mad?'

He shrugged and brought his hands slowly to the white haired devils face. Yami Bakura's eyes never left his as his hands cupped his face and he slowly brought his lips to the other one. He gently kissed his lips and found that they felt completely different than the other night. They were softer and he guessed it was more because this was an actual kiss.

Yami Bakura closed his eyes; he wasn't expecting to like the kiss. He wrapped his arms around Joey's neck pulling him closer he suddenly bit down hard on the bottom lip making Joey gasp in surprise and pain.

The pain soon turn in to a sensual kiss as Yami Bakura slipped his tongue in and out lapping up at small amount of blood there. Joey dropped his hands from his face and wrapped them around Yami Bakura's back rubbing it.

Ryou watched in shock, they were not only kissing but they were enjoying it. `This is kind of nice though, they look good together. It's not to bad seeing the two people that you love so much….' Ryou stopped that thought.

Love? He knew he loved his Yami, but did he love Joey as well? He looked back at them and tried to hide his smile as Yami Bakura was now tangling his hands into the other's hair. `Yes I do think I love him.'

Joey couldn't believe he was doing this but man did it feel good. Yami Bakura was one hell of a kisser, I guess when your as old as him you learn a few things. He could easily surrender to the assault on his senses that he was doing by kissing him alone.

Yami Bakura finally pulled back his cheeks flushed and looked him over. "Ryou is right, you are a very good kisser". He then smirked and walked away from him. He approached Ryou who was watching his every move. He got to him and leaned down kissing him gently. "Never raise your voice like that to me again or accuse me of things you have no idea what you're talking about."

Ryou nodded and tried to smile; he got the feeling that he had hurt his Yami, which in turn hurt him. He threw his arms around him and Yami Bakura froze. He shook his head and pushed him off sneering at him. He kissed him again this time more passionately, before turning to look at Joey.

Joey had been watching and liked what he was seeing. It was art in motion those two together that was the only thing he could think of.

Yami Bakura smiled wickedly "Yes you are a good kisser I am looking forward to seeing what else your good at." With that he disappeared.

Joey didn't know whether to be excited or nervous. Ryou just shrugged and walked over to him hugging him. Joey buried his head into the other's hair and looked at his watch and panicked. "Ryou do you have any idea what time it is?"

Ryou grabbed Joey's wrist, they had 2 minutes before they were late for class. They took off running laughing and skidded into the classroom just as the teacher was shutting the door. Yugi and Honda looked up at them laughing.

Joey just looked down at them still flushed, "Don't ask"

Ryou giggled and sat down in his seat in front of Yugi. He felt his hair move and looked back to see Yugi with a twig in his hand looking at him puzzled. Ryou blushed and just shrugged before turning back around to pay attention to class. He shuffled a little in his seat only to remember that they never did go to the bathroom and almost bust out laughing. Joey who was sitting next to him looked at him and Ryou mouthed the word "bathroom" to him.

Joey slapped his hand to his forehead, which earned him with a lot of weird looks. He raised his hand.

"Yes Mr. Wheeler, "

"May I be excused to the restroom?"

`It's right after lunch, no you may not."

Joey slumped a little and figured they would just have to hold out until after class.

The rest of the day went by quickly and he found himself walking home with everyone chatting about what they were going to do tonight. Ryou was pretty caught up speaking to Yugi and he didn't see the figure standing across the street.

"There you are and you know my brat how quaint." He smiled as he watched them walk up the sidewalk. I will have to take it slow then, I wouldn't want Joey to find out about this. You may be safe now, but wait one day I will have you."

The figure turned and walked down the sidewalk to the nearest bar.

"So you guys up to wanting to do anything tonight?" Joey sounded eager but he was hoping they would say no.

"Sorry Joey but I have a date," Yugi said smiling at Anzu who smiled back.

"Me too." Honda said then realized that maybe he shouldn't have, "Uh I mean…"

"Don't worry about it Honda," Joey said putting a hand on Honda's shoulder. "Ryou what about you?"

Ryou tried not to laugh, "I have absolutely nothing planned."

"Great it looks like it's just the two of us, want to do something."

"Sure, I'm up for anything." Ryou had not meant it to come out the way it sounded.

Joey's eyes got really big. "Yeah me too! Whatever you want to do."

He just shrugged and smiled. The group soon parted ways leaving Joey and Ryou alone walking to Ryou's house. Joey was looking at him weird

Ryou became self-conscious "What?"

"Your up for anything? Ryou!"

Ryou stared at him for a moment then broke into a fit of laughter hitting his arm, "You know what I meant!"

Joey laughed and put an arm around him kissing the top of his head. "Heh, yeah I know what you meant all right." Then stopped as Ryou reached out to try and smack him again, "he he he really what do you want to do?"

Ryou sighed laying his head on his shoulder, "I don't care …do you want to go out?"

"Like where?"

"Movie and dinner?"

Joey shook his head "I don't know, I kind of wanted to spend time alone with you."

Ryou laughed, "Then why didn't you say so, instead of I don't care."

Joey just shrugged.

"Okay fine, we can go back to my place and see if there is a movie on tonight"

"Sounds good, but eh what about food?"

"Do you always think of food?"

Joey hugged him "Yep! And before you say it, no cooking I want you to spend time with me not the kitchen."

Ryou thought, "I can order in from the restaurant down the road I have a menu at home?"

"Or a pizza!"

Ryou shook his head "I don't like pizza."

Joey gave him a very odd look, "You don't like pizza?"

"No I never have, but we can order you some if you want."

"Nah, whatever you want I'm not as picky as you seem to be."

"I'm not picky…" Ryou said stopping and turning to look at him.

Joey shrugged "You don't like pizza Ryou that's pretty picky to me."

"Oh your impossible." He said crossing his arms looking absolutely adorable to Joey.

Joey suddenly grabbed him and kissed him hard.

"What's that for?"

"Because I wanted to." He said smiling and put his arm back around him.

They got to Ryou's house and Ryou went to his bedroom to change out of his uniform. Joey had excused himself to the bathroom and was in the living room by the time Ryou came back. He brought out a shirt for Joey, since he still had on his uniform. "I don't have pants to fit you but this shirt is pretty big and should be okay.

"You just insist on dressing me don't you."

Ryou just shrugged and threw the purple button up at him. As Joey was putting it on he rummaged around the kitchen until he found the menu. He brought it back and smiled as Joey was buttoning up the shirt.

"Purple looks good on you."

Joey blushed. "If you tell anyone at all that you saw me in purple I will deny it forever."

Ryou nodded laughing and walked up to him handing him the menu. Joey looked it over and chose what he wanted. Ryou called it in then the two went over and sat on the couch to wait. They curled up with each other while Ryou was checking to see what was coming on that night.

There wasn't a whole lot on, but enough to somewhat keep them entertained. Joey had his head in Ryou's lap and Ryou was brushing his fingers over his face. He trailed them on his lips then down his neck back around to come up on his cheek.

Joey sighed loving the feeling, "Hey Ryou"

"Yes?"

"You didn't get mad today?"

"At what?"

"Um you know…"

"If I knew Joey I wouldn't have asked."

"About me kissing Yami Bakura."

Ryou smiled at him leaning over and planting a soft kiss on his lips. "No I don't mind at all, it's fare after all. If you two are willing to share me with each other then why should I get mad if I have to share? Besides it was kind of …"

"Sexy?" Joey finishing his sentence.

"Huh?"

"Sexy you know, it's like when you and him kiss. It's sexy, I mean really really sexy."

Ryou's mouth dropped before he ducked his head. Joey laughed kissing him. He pulled Ryou close to him looking up into his brown eyes. "You are also very sexy by yourself as well." Before Ryou knew what was happening Joey sat up and pushed him so he was laying down. Joey crawled on top of him kissing him loving the feel of Ryou underneath him.

Ryou moaned and Joey felt Ryou asking permission to enter his mouth and opened up willingly. Ryou tasted Joey loving it. The blonde meant so much to him and he wanted to let him know that.

Joey pulled back a little, "uh...what about the movie?" He said nodding to the TV.

Ryou giggled pulling him back down and reaching for the remote at the same time turned the TV off. With his lips pressed to Joey's he said "We'll just to have catch another one later."

Joey couldn't say anything back as Ryou's slipped his tongue in again. He loved the weight of Joey on him and rubbed his hands up and down his back. Joey moved his lips away and started nibbling on Ryou's neck. Ryou sighed and moved his head back a little so he could reach it better. He felt Ryou's hands on his shirt undoing his buttons and so he followed suit. It didn't take long before Joey had his shirt off and Ryou threw it across the room.

Joey had Ryou's button all the way down and was kissing his chest. Ryou closed his eyes and sighed as the warm kisses he was being attacked with. His eyes shot open when he felt Joey take one of his nipples into this mouth and sucking on it. He couldn't help but grind his hips, as the pants were feeling a little tight.

Joey moaned back and bucked his hips hard looking for any amount of relief. His hands slipped down Ryou's sides and were about to unbutton his pants when the doorbell rang.

They looked at each other and said at the same time, "Food!"

Joey rolled off him laughing as Ryou got up and grabbed the money from the hall table; he decided to pay tonight since Joey paid last night. He opened the door flushed, lips swollen, hair messed up, shirt unbuttoned, money in hand…and froze.

"Uh Yugi, Yami hi." Ryou heard his Yami laughing his head off from his soul room.

Joey glanced up from the floor at the door, `oh man.'

Yugi grinned, "uh…hi Ryou did we come at a bad time?"

"No. Not at all come on in, I just thought you were the delivery man."

Yami smiled and just nodded.

"Joey!" Yugi said as Joey waived from the floor still in front of the couch.

Joey was looking for his shirt, "So what are you guys doing here I thought you were on a date where's Anzu."

"Oh, um Anzu couldn't make it tonight, something about a sick aunt or something. So we decided to go out on our own." Yugi said brightly.

"And you just had to come over here huh?" Joey said.

"Why, is that a problem Joey?" Yami asked smirking.

"Problem…why would that be a problem?" Ryou said blushing with a hand behind his head.

"Um Ryou…" Yami said looking over his state of dress.

"Yes?"

Yami shook his head, "Never mind"

Suddenly the ring glowed and a still laughing Yami Bakura was now in the room. Yami gave him the strangest look. "What's wrong with you?"

"Oh nothing at all you just happened to ruin a very sweet…"

"YAMI!" Ryou hissed grabbing his arm.

Yami Bakura thought the whole situation so funny that he didn't even mind. Joey groaned and buried his head into the couch cushions.

Yugi smiled brightly, "we were interrupting something weren't we!"

Joey couldn't help but start laughing as well "Maaaybe"

"Joey!"

"I'm sorry Ryou but your face is giving it all away." He was right too Ryou's face was several different shades of red.

Ryou sighed and looked at them. "Don't tell anyone please!" He pleaded.

"Why not?" Yami asked.

"I just don't want anyone to know just yet, not when it's still so new."

Yugi smiled and nodded "I understand trust me, I just think it's so sweet!"

Both Yami and Yami Bakura rolled their eyes.

The doorbell rang and Ryou startled by it jumped back into Yami Bakura. "Idiot"

He glanced back at him then huffed, "It better be the delivery man this time." Yami Bakura smirking walked by him and grabbed the money from him. He opened the door practically threw it at the poor deliverer glaring at him, taking the bags and slamming the door without actually saying a word.

Joey cracked up and Yami and Yugi sweat dropped. Ryou just sighed and took the bags his Yami handed to him. "Do you want some Yugi I'm sure there's plenty?"

Joey jumped up finally finding his shirt and putting it on, "Says who I'm hungry?"

Ryou put his hands on his hips "And you didn't pay for it now don't be rude."

Yugi giggled and walked up beside Ryou as he went in the kitchen, "No thank you Ryou, I ate before we left."

"Wait for me!" Joey said bounding after them. Leaving the two Yamis in the living room.

Yami watched Joey leave and turned seeing the glare the white haired Yami was giving his friend. He walked up to him, "I don't know where you fit in to all of this but they look happy, I want them to stay that way."

Yami Bakura turned his head back to Yami and sneered at him. "Ryou will be happy I can assure you of that."

"Don't you dare hurt Joey" his sennen eyed glowed some in a warning. Yami Bakura just glared at him one more time before stalking after them. Yami was sure he got his message across.

In the kitchen Ryou was sitting on the counter eating an egg roll, Yugi who he talked into eating with them was sitting in the floor leaning against a cabinet. Joey was sitting on the counter across from them eating some noodles happily.

Yami Bakura sighed looking at Joey then walked over to sit next to Ryou, very closely. Yami came in and sat next to Yugi putting an arm around him.

For a while everyone was silent while they ate. Finally Yugi broke the silence, "okay you two… uh…three spill it when did this happen."

Ryou almost choked and Joey glanced down at him food halfway to his mouth. Yami Bakura sat back a little he was just enjoying he show.

"Well a couple of nights ago I guess, actually I am not really sure how it happened. It was just one of those things." Ryou said.

"Yeah Yug, it just happened a couple of days ago."

Yugi raised a finger pointing at the two "And that's why both of you disappeared during lunch today."

If Ryou could have crawled into a hole he would have. Instead he just buried his head into his Yami's shoulder. Yami Bakura just smiled, "Well don't you think he deserves an answer."

"Why me" he groaned.

Yugi's eyes went wide, and Joey laughed. "Don't mind him Yug, I am finding out he's just sensitive to things."

Yami chuckled a little, "Yugi's the same way."

Now it was Yugi's turn to turn red, "I am not."

"Of course you are aibou." Yami kissed Yugi on top of the head.

Yami Bakura rolled his eyes it was starting to get mushy, "Well since the fun part is over I will catch you idiots later," with that he went back into the ring. Joey shook his head, he was really going to have to get used to him.

Soon the food was done and they were sitting in the living room. Yami and Yugi cuddled up in a chair with Yugi on his lap and Joey sitting next to Ryou on the couch. They felt weird cuddling in front of the other two so they just sat close together.

"Well I guess we can try to watch a movie again." Ryou said grabbing the remote he then reached up to turn the light off. Leaving the room to be lit only by the TV.

"Do you want time alone, we didn't mean to barge in on you guys." Yugi asked sincerely.

Both Ryou and Joey shook their heads; they wouldn't do that to their friends. The movie though turned out to be quite boring, and everyone had a hard time keeping their eyes open. It wasn't long until Ryou fell asleep and so did Joey laying his head on his lap. Yugi had fallen asleep in Yami's lap who was holding him.

He smiled down at his light before joining him then taking over. He would get them home and let Yugi sleep. He walked over and shook Joey a little. Joey opened his eyes slightly and smiled at Yami before wrapping his arms around Ryou.

"Joey do you need to go home or call or anything?"

Joey opened his eyes again, "can you call for me I don't want to move."

Yami chuckled, "Come on Joey you don't want your father angry at you."

"Do I have to?"

"He's right Joey, I don't want you getting in trouble." A sleepy Ryou said without opening his eyes. Joey nodded, "where's your phone?"

"On the table in the hallway." Joey sleepily walked into the hallway. Yami sat down next to Ryou and smiled. "I hope you two work out really I do."

Ryou smiled and cracked open his eyes, "thanks Yami that means a lot to me. I know how close you are to Joey."

"I consider you a friend also Ryou."

Joey checked the time and thought he would just leave a message on their machine. His father wont be home till much much later. He was surprised when he answered.

"Hello"

"Pops? You home?"

"Joey, why you calling?"

"I just wanted to leave a message that I will be spending a night at one of my friends house tonight."

"Oh really, which one?"

Joey was stumped why would his father care, "I don't know if you know him, he's name is Ryou Bakura."

"Ryou Bakura, which one is that?"

Joey was really confused now but figured his old man was just drunk. "He's the one with the white hair."

Joey's father grinned, `gotcha you punk.' "That's fine Joey but give me his address and phone number just in case."

"Uh yeah sure" What in the world was up with him tonight! He just shook his head and gave him the information.

When he hung up he walked back in to see Yami telling Ryou bye. "You leaving?"

"Yes, Yugi's asleep and I want to get him home." He noticed Joey looked trouble, what's wrong. He motioned for him to follow and Joey walked him to the door.

"Hmmm, oh nothing just the old man acting odd."

"Everything okay with you staying out late."

Joey then grinned, "Better I am spending the night."

"That's great, but be careful of Ryou's Yami."

Joey blushed thankfully it was to dark that Yami could see "Oh we've had our talk already and I know where I stand with him."

"You may think you do Joey but he can turn on you quickly, just be careful."

"No sweat, now get Yugi home."

Yami left and Joey went back over to the couch, Ryou was half awake now. He smiled at him as Joey sat down next to him. Ryou quickly pulled him towards him cuddling to him.

Joey sighed as he looked down at him, the light of the TV barely showed his features and he looked almost ghostly. He ran a finger down Ryou's face and smiled kissing him ever so often. It then hit him like a ton of bricks, he loved him. He loved him more than he had ever loved anything else. He hugged him tightly all of a sudden and Ryou looked at him in surprise.

Joey just shook his head and kissed him.

"Everything okay you staying this late,"

"I can stay all night if I want."

"Really?"

"Really."

Ryou wrapped his arms around Joey, who leaned back letting Ryou's head drop down on his chest. After a few minutes he could feel Ryou's breaths even out and knew he had fallen back asleep. He slid out from Ryou so he could pick him up and carried him into his bedroom. He pulled the covers down and put him in the bed. He then laid down next to him and covering them back up.

"Good night sweet Ryou." Joey said and fell into a comfortable sleep holding his love close.
