Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ New Beginnings ❯ Chapter 10 ( Chapter 10 )

A/N: Over 100 reviews!!! Wow!! Yamato795: I have been thinking about your request and I am not sure of it yet. I could do a Yami/Yugi/Anzu story to go with these but it wouldn't be a happy one. It would be angst ridden and would not show Anzu in a very good light. I haven't ruled it out yet but I still have a few other stories I want to write. Odie Kaiba and Ryou Chan: As usual you guys are great! Skippys Cat: That is so cool how you review, I read them all on both stories ^_^ Everyone Else: Thanks so much for your support!!

Chapter 10

The next morning Joey woke up early to the sun shining and in an interesting situation in bed. He blushed a little a he got up and changed the sheets. Ryou and his Yami really knew how to invade his dreams some nights.

He looked over at the clock and his eyes went wide, he couldn't believe it was eight A.M. and he actually felt great. "Well I think I will grab a much needed shower now and go see Ryou." he said to himself. His aunt last night had agreed with him about not going to school today.

He got into the shower shampooing quickly makings sure he was clean, smiling as he thought about the erotic dream from last night 'The things your mind is capable of coming up with, I don't know even know if that was even physically possible.'

His aunt smiled at him as he got some cereal sitting down to breakfast. "You going to Ryou's this morning I take it"

Joey nodded pouring the milk; "Yes I wanted to check in on him after last night."

"That's fine just don't be out late tonight, you will have to go to school tomorrow." She said winking and he shook his head. She was really too great for words and he was so lucky.

As he walked down the street humming to himself, he couldn't help but think about Yug, Yami and Kaiba. After last night he couldn't deny what Kaiba felt for those two, and he guessed he could see now why they felt the same way. It didn't mean however that he would ever be a big fan of the jerk, but he guessed he could give him some slack.

When he got to Ryou's he stopped humming and knocked on the door waiting. He knew that Ryou's father usually went to work by five A.M. so he didn't have to worry about waking him up and Ryou was an early riser. He waited for a few minutes frowning and knocked on the door again.

When it finally opened a very tired looking Ryou in shorts and no shirt looked at him. His hair was a mess and he was swaying back and forth, Joey wondered if he was even awake.

"Good morning sunshine!" Joey said brightly.

Ryou looked at the clock, then at Joey, then back at the clock squinting, then back at Joey. "Joey do you have any idea what time it is?"

"Yep and it's a beautiful morning." Joey said throwing his hands up and waiving them around.

Ryou just stared at him for a moment before moving out of the way motioning him to come in with his hand. "Whatever… to early… going back to bed… you coming?"

Joey followed him in, "Oh come on Ryou it's not that bad, you're usually up by this time. When I left you last night you were sleeping fine."

Ryou yawned rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand. "Woke up…bad dreams… couldn't get back to sleep until two hours ago." Ryou had one of his Yami's dreams last night, such a horrid one that even Yami Bakura couldn't settle him back down again. Ryou guessed that with all of the stress from yesterday that it affected his sleep.

Joey who was now being dragged into the bedroom by Ryou frowned, "want to talk about it."

Ryou shook his head crawling under the covers, "no want to sleep."

Joey smiled and curled in next to him holding him close kissing him ever so often. "Hmmmm that's nice" Ryou said. He then stopped and looked at him sniffing.

Getting a weird look from Joey Ryou explained, "You smell good." He then laid back down on Joey's shoulder half asleep.

Joey frowned, "Like I smell bad normally?"

Ryou laughed softly almost asleep, "No just that this morning you smell really really good."

Joey chuckled, "Go back to sleep love, I will be here when you wake" He kissed him and Ryou did just that. Joey didn't sleep though he just watched a bird building a nest outside in a bush. He would rub his hands ever so often through the soft locks feeling the even rise and fall of Ryou's chest against his own.

After a couple of hours Ryou started to stir, opening his eyes smiling at Joey. The smile took Joey's breath a little, "Feel better?"

Ryou nodded and hugged him close. "Yes I do."

"Good" Joey said before giving him a soft kiss.

Ryou stretched rubbing a hand over Joey's stomach. Joey squirmed a little under the soft touch, "Do you want to talk about your dream love?"

"Hmmm oh it's just one of my Yami's memories again."

Joey knew better than to ask him to elaborate.

Ryou raised his eyes to him from his position looking at Joey through strands of white. "So why were you here so early again?"

"I just wanted to see you" Joey said kissing his nose.

Ryou winkled it and swatted at him, "will you quit" He then sat up looking over his back at Joey. "I need a shower you want to join me?"

"Hmmm as tempting as that sounds," Joey said pulling him back down to lay with him, "We won't be getting out anytime soon if I do. Why don't you hurry up and get back in here so I can spend lots of time with you."

Ryou kissed him before jumping up grabbing some clothes and heading into the bathroom. Joey shut his eyes smiling listening to the sound of the shower running. He was lost in thought about how happy he was so he was surprised then when he felt the bed move. He opened his eyes to find Yami Bakura sitting in front of him.

Joey sat up looking out how the morning sun through the window gave him a certain sparkle "Good morning"

Yami Bakura smirked and crawled over to him, he grabbed Joey by the back of his head and brought him into a furious kiss. Joey groaned under the onslaught feeling himself being pushed backwards not giving any resistance. Lying on Joey Yami Bakura left the mouth to trail a kiss on his neck sucking at it hard making the blonde groan.

Joey tangled his hands into the snow colored hair feeling himself grow hard. 'Wow! What is up with him?' Joey thought enjoying the aggression.

They heard a giggle at the door and saw a very wet Ryou smiling at them. "Uh finished already?" Joey asked blushing a little. Ryou just shook his head; he had seen his Yami with that look only on rare times. That meant he was in one of those weird moods that made him totally unpredictable, which wasn't always bad.

Yami Bakura barely pulled away from Joey's neck before saying, "you didn't dry off very well." He then went back to making little marks on Joey.

"Well then I couldn't do this" Ryou said walking over to the two making out on his bed and shook his head spraying water everywhere.

Yami Bakura growled and grabbed him pulling him on to the bed. He jumped off of Joey and pinned Ryou underneath him. "Now that was not very nice sweetness," he said grinning wickedly.

Ryou's eyes got big as he felt Yami's tongue along his neck near the hairline licking up the water. Joey not to be left out decided to grab the feet. He took a nice fresh and clean toe putting it in his mouth sucking on it. This drove Ryou wild as he started thrashing around.

Yami Bakura glanced back to see what in the world caused such a reaction and smirked.

"Stop!! Please stop!! That's driving me nuts!!"

"This is good or bad?" Joey asked laughing at him.

"Both!" He said between laughs and giggles. Yami Bakura even cracked a smile at the now spastic Ryou.

Joey finally took mercy on him and Ryou's Yami sat back allowing the now giggling and tearful Ryou to escape them.

That will teach you to get us wet" Joey said crossing his arms grinning at his flushed lover.

"You jerk" Ryou said throwing a pillow at him.

"Yes but what a lovable jerk I am." Joey caught the pillow easily winking at him.

Ryou laughed hard, "Yeah with all those "love" bites I can tell."

Yami Bakura chuckled as Joey jumped up to look at the mirror. He turned around to the smirking Yami, "Not again!! Do you know how hard it was to cover these up the last time?"

He shrugged a little throwing up his hands, "I didn't hear you complain."

"Why don't you do that to Ryou?"

"I do just not on the neck"

Ryou was blushing and laughing at the same time. Joey turned on him, "You think this is funny!"

"Oh come here you" Ryou said getting up winking at his Yami. He wrapped his arms around Joey kissing him lightly. " It's not that bad is it?" Ryou said pressing himself into Joey.

"Mmhm" Joey said and laid his head on Ryou's shoulder. Ryou started kissing Joey's neck making him moan as he slid a hand down his side towards the front. Joey didn't even realize that Ryou was sucking on his neck until too late, he jerked back to see a grin on his face.

He pointed a finger at him. "YOU have been hanging around HIM" pointing a finger at Yami Bakura, "waaaayyy to long!"

Laughing so hard he was holding his side Ryou said "Oh come on with all those other marks no one would notice one more!"

Joey frowned and turned his back a little on them, "Okay… okay…that's enough of picking on Joey today. So what do you guys want to do?"

"I'm sure we will think of something," Ryou said walking up to him and hugging Joey from behind. Joey grinned at him before pushing him away still acting mad.

Yami Bakura pulled Ryou into his lap massaging his back a little. "I am sure we will."

Ryou who had slumped over enjoyed the feeling of what his Yami was doing. "First thing is first though I want to call Seto to see how Mokuba is."

"Hey maybe we could have lunch with them or something" Joey said.

"I don't know most likely they will want some time alone. They are so cute together don't you think." Ryou said brightly.

Joey frowned, "I wouldn't exactly call Kaiba cute."

"He is too, with that chestnut hair and those so sexy deep blue eyes." Ryou said as dreamily as could without cracking up.

Yami Bakura catching on, "He does have a nice body I have to admit and lets not forget sooo friggen rich."

"Oh ha ha ha you two are a barrel of laughs today aren't you." Joey growled.

Ryou smiled sticking his lower lip out a little, "but don't worry you are so much cuter."

"Just not as rich" Yami Bakura added, "or as powerful, not nearly the duelist he is or…"

"Okay you" Ryou said kissing his darker one to hush him up before he accidentally hurt Joey's feelings.

Ryou pulled back and crawled over to his nightstand, picking up the phone to call Seto. Joey had sat down beside him rubbing his stomach. He heard the phone ring and shoved Joey's hand off of him when it answered.

"Hello." The voice snapped on the other end and Ryou winced a little.

"Hi Seto, it's Ryou." He said now trying to get away from his Yami too.

"Ryou? What can I do for you?"

Seto sounded surprised "nothing really I just wanted to call to make sure everything is all right."

" Everything couldn't be better."

Joey then pounced on him trying to grab the phone yelling, "let me talk to him!"

"Hold on will you" Ryou said to Seto, trying to get out of Joey's reach he couldn't help but scold him. "I was talking don't be rude."

Joey didn't listen to him so Ryou slapped the top of his head "Sorry about that," Ryou said glaring at his lover, "some people have absolutely no manners."

Ryou could hear Seto laughing at them, "Do I even want to know why Joey is over there so early. I didn't think he was the type to wake up before noon when he didn't have to."

Ryou cracked up himself still trying to get away from Joey. "Tell me about it I was pretty shocked when I found him knocking at my door this morning."

Joey sat back up on his knees with his hands on his hips. "Hey I get a whole free day with you and all your going to do his complain? Now give me the phone!" Yami Bakura just watched the two shaking his head.

Ryou mouth the words "no" to him before Joey jumped down and started sucking on his toes again loving that he had found a new weakness. "Okay you win, you win! Just stop!"

Joey grabbed the phone with a triumphant smirk. "Kaiba hey how's it going?"

"Well it was a peaceful morning."

Joey who was sitting on Ryou laughed, "Heh, yeah sorry about that. Listen how's your brother doing?"

" I checked on him this morning and he was still sleeping. I think he will be okay though, thanks for asking."

"No problem, I like the little guy he's got attitude."

Seto laughed, "Yes that he does."

"Hey is Yug or Yami around there anywhere." Joey asked while running a finger up and down Ryou's arm watching him squirm.

"Why?" He asked suspiciously.

Joey gave the phone a strange look "Geeez because I wanted to say hi."

There was a pause before Seto came back. "Sorry Joey Yugi's asleep and Yami isn't in the mood to talk right now."

Joey grinned, "What! I'm hurt!"

He heard the phone shuffle then "What?" Yami snapped.

"Yami, hey just wanted to make sure everything was ok and to see if you guys wanted to do something today." Ryou reached up and slapped the side of his head.

"OUCH! Stop it!" Joey said glaring at him. "Well leave them alone," Ryou could tell by Seto's voice that they were pretty well in for the day, which is what he wanted to do.

Joey turned back to the phone" Sorry about that…but well?"

Yami Bakura who had had enough raised his own hand glaring at him, "Oh come on I already asked!"

Yami laughed, "That's okay Joey I think we already have plans for today."

"Okay if you sure, and oh in case you misunderstood I meant all three of you." He said wanting to make it clear that Seto was invited.

Yami Bakura who still had his hand raised shook his head before saying "Idiot" then smacking him on the back of the head. Ryou covered his mouth trying not to giggle as Joey glared at him

"I know what you meant, but really I don't think Seto is up to doing anything today but exactly what he's doing right now."

Joey decided to be brave and make a face at Yami Bakura "And what might that be?" Of course that wasn't very smart as the white haired demon pounced him knocking them both off the bed. "OUCH…Hey!!….".

Ryou sighed grabbing the phone watching the two wrestle. "I am so sorry about that Yami you know how he is." He then nearly fell off the bed laughing as Joey got away and took off running through the house with Yami Bakura after him. Ryou hoped that his Yami was playing and not really going to hurt him.

"That's okay Ryou, everything okay over there?" Ryou barely heard him as his Yami had come back wrapping his arms around him. 'Our little lover is hiding you better hope you find him before I do." He whispered kissing Ryou before taking off.

"Oh here, everything is pretty normal. Listen I have to go and rescue Joey now if you guys change your mind about doing anything feel free to call." He then heard Joey yell out and laugh as he head his Yami say "now your mine."

"Well actually let me take that back if you change your minds call back later….way later!"

Yami chuckled, "We will Ryou, take care."

"You too and tell Yugi and Seto to take care also."

Ryou hung up the phone and ran into the living to make sure that they hadn't killed each other. He stopped and cracked up laughing when he entered. They were on the couch with Yami Bakura sitting on top of Joey whose arms and legs were tied together with some rope he found. Yami Bakura looked very smug with his arms crossed.

Joey of course did not think that situation was funny at all, "let me up!"

"I told you before, you whine and I will gag you!" Yami Bakura said holding up a washcloth.

Ryou barely able to walk he was laughing so hard came up to his Yami. "Let him go Yami look at him he looks so pitiful."

Yami Bakura bent down to look in his face then sat back up, "sorry I'm not convinced."

"Awww Yami, come on the poor boy is probably starved and I will cook some lunch."

"If someone would let me up I will take you guys out to eat." Joey growled earning him a whack on the back of the head. Ryou put his hands on his hips glaring at him.

Yami Bakura shrugged and said simply "What? That does me no good, I don't eat."

"I will be good and I am sorry OK please let me up." Joey pleaded.

Yami Bakura shook his head and stood up then untied Joey. Ryou shook his head, "Okay since that is over now are we really going out because I don't want to. I would rather stay around here." His Yami was way to full of himself today to risk going out.

Joey nodded not caring; whatever his lover wanted to do today was fine with him. "So what's for lunch?" He asked standing up and throwing his arm around Ryou.

Ryou shrugged, "dad hasn't really gone shopping is sandwiches ok?"

"Sure fine by me!" He said and followed Ryou to the kitchen. Yami Bakura decided to relax in the corner of the couch while they ate. He knew he was being way to friendly with them today but he couldn't help. Not after last night…oh he was pretty sure that he was confusing them, hell he was confusing himself.

He smiled as heard some playful arguing in the kitchen, a smile that he would not show anyone not even his softer one. There are times when he wanted to throttle them both; he wasn't very patient by any means and they had a knack for getting on his last nerve. His life had never been carefree like theirs but it made him stronger. He knew all the doting that Ryou's father had done on him after his mother had passed away made him the way he was. Ryou needed a strong figure in his life and his father wasn't it. When he had come into this life he saw that first hand, which was the main reason he had been so cruel to him, he had to off set his father.

Oh he knew he had been cruel and really didn't regret it. At that time Ryou really needed it, at least Yami Bakura thought he did. It had really scared him though when he had found him in the bathtub ready to do away with his life. He didn't realize how hard he had pushed him and backed off knowing that his softer one was about to snap.

Ryou had been something that confused him for a very long time and now he had someone else that did the same thing. Somehow while wanting to get Ryou away from Joey he had found an incredible lover. It wasn't long until he started looking at Joey as theirs instead of Ryou's. He was equally as possessive of them both, it amazed him how much willpower he had every time Yugi hugged one of them. If he thought he could get away with it he would have strangled him along time ago.

He closed his eyes remembering last night, he didn't think the other two were dwelling on how close they came to losing Joey. He had wanted to rip the man's heart out through his neck but Ryou had talked him out of it. It's funny he had jumped into action without thought, he had no way of knowing if Yugi and Ryou would knock out the other two in the room. Yami Bakura shook his head, does that mean he would give his life for those two? He chuckled, he already knew that answer he proved it last night, he wouldn't think twice about. Oh he would probably haunt their souls for all eternity for whatever stupid thing they had done getting him killed but he would do it in a heartbeat.

He felt the couch shift and a warm body press up against him. He cracked opened his eyes slightly to find Ryou curled up next to him. Joey was leaning against the couch sitting in the floor with his chin lying on Ryou's knee. "Nice lunch?"

Ryou nodded and leaned over kiss him. Yami Bakura let him and sighed as he felt Ryou wrap his arms around his neck. He allowed Ryou's tongue entrance and moaned as they danced.

He then felt hands rubbing his leg lightly and he reached down running his hand across Joey's face. With his other hand he wrapped around Ryou's waist bringing him to lie against him. He felt Joey move and then warm breath against his neck as Joey started kissing it. Yami Bakura moaned as felt Joey pay him back for earlier sucking lightly on his neck. He removed his mouth from Ryou's to find Joey's and felt Ryou do the same thing on the other side.

He was still amazed at how good a kisser Joey was and felt his toes curl a little as Ryou's soft hands ran over the front of his pants. The nipping that he was doing on his neck was driving him wild and Joey pulled back for a moment smiling as he ran a hand down the dark one's face.

Yami Bakura closed his eyes at the warm touch letting himself enjoy the moment, especially when he felt Ryou hold him close also. He looked up into Joey's eyes and was surprised about the amount of emotion he saw in them directed at him. In the back of his mind he wondered if Joey seriously knew what he was getting himself involved in by trying to get close to him. He was not the most emotionally available person and he liked it that way.

Joey reached down and kissed him the two fighting over who's mouth would be dominant. With a sharp bite Yami Bakura won out and Joey allowed his tongue to take over. His hand was still holding Ryou who had been watching them closely and panting some. The other hand traveled down Joey's side before finding the hard spot in Joey's pants and started massaging it feeling the blonde moan in his mouth. He shivered as he felt Ryou starting to unbutton his shirt kissing him now on the front of the neck.

When Ryou reached his chest he found what he was looking for sucking and nipping lightly. His soft mouth was driving Yami Bakura nuts and he tangled a hand in his hair. Ryou smiled as he felt how excited his Yami was when he ran a hand over it. He was fumbling with the buttons and felt Joey's hands next to his. Joey had taken the other nipple in his mouth and Yami Bakura was gasping at the pleasure.

They grinned at each other as both of them started making trails downwards. Finally getting his pants undone Ryou reached in massaging the length while Joey reached underneath it massaging what was under there.

Yami Bakura couldn't help but jerk his hips forward when he felt Ryou free him. He then stopped breathing all together as he felt two tongues run up his length from either side. The feeling it gave was absolutely like nothing he had ever experienced. Ryou took him in sucking on him then he would leave and Joey would take over and they would go back and forth. The whole time each had a hand that never left his chest.

"Ryou! Joey!" He couldn't help himself they were really doing a number on him. They were shocked when suddenly the doorbell rang.

Ryou looked up at the time, no one should be here. "Ignore it" came the gasping reply.

Ryou nodded his head and continued when there was a persistent loud knocking. Since Joey was pretty much still in the he floor pulled away and stomped to the front door. He opened it up to find Honda and Anzu there.

"What are you two doing here?" He snapped, he was wanted to get back to what he was doing.

"We were just concerned that you, Ryou and Yugi weren't in school after yesterday. So we ditched the rest of the classes to come check up on you." Honda said.

Ryou hearing them at the door rolled his eyes, "Let me get rid of them really quick."

You better make it very quick" Yami Bakura said glaring at him. Ryou nodded and went to the door.

Joey smiled at Ryou as he came up beside him. "Uh yeah well we just had a rough night and knew we would be in no shape to go to school today."

"Obviously" Honda said taking in the crumpled dress and raised an eyebrow at them.

"Were we interrupting something?" Anzu asked. Ryou and Joey blushed and nodded.

"Okay well I guess we should go then." Honda said, again they both nodded.

Ryou was getting ready to shut the door when Anzu put her hand out stopping it. "Oh before we do, do you guys know where Yugi and Yami are?" They were shocked when Yami Bakura pushed Ryou out of the way grabbing the door. He glared at the girl "Probably fucking Kaiba's brains out right about now." He said before slamming it in their faces.

Ryou looked at him with his mouth opened and Joey knew he should be mad but couldn't help but laugh. "Don't encourage him," Ryou scolded waiving a finger at Joey. Yami Bakura pulled his softer one against him grabbing his hand and bringing inside his pants. "Feel that if you don't continue I will…" He was stopped as he Ryou wrapped his fingers around him stroking him hard.

Joey grabbed Yami Bakura from behind wrapping his hands around the front to join Ryou's. Joey kissed his neck as he felt Yami Bakura lean back against him. Having enough of the teasing Yami Bakura pulled the two down to the floor right there in front of the door.

They paused only for a moment to discard all clothing throwing them wherever they landed. Once this was accomplished Both Ryou and Joey were back to pleasing the darker one with their mouths. When they felt him trembling from pleasure they pulled back, Joey worked his way back up to find his mouth and Ryou straddled him.

Yami Bakura was paralyzed with pleasure so in a sense he was at the mercy of the other two. The only thing he could do was moan into the blonde's mouth as Ryou slowly lowered himself on to him. Scraping his nails across Joey's back Yami Bakura tensed as Ryou started to move slowly.

Joey's hand's glided along his chest rubbing the hard nipples. Each time Joey would pinch one softly Yami Bakura would gasp holding his breath. There was sweat forming on his brow and his kisses were becoming frantic as Ryou sped up.

Yami Bakura suddenly grabbed Joey by the hair and yanked his mouth away from him. He leaned up on one elbow bringing Joey with him so that he sat on his knees. Taking the blonde into his mouth making him whimper when his skilled tongue went to work. Joey through the haze of passion reached out and found Ryou's hardness. He started stroking it in time with his movements.

Yami Bakura used his teeth to nip at the sensitive skin a little making Joey cry out in both pain and pleasure. He would then sooth it by sucking gently before increasing the pressure. This combination drove Joey over the brink quickly and screamed out as he spilled into Yami Bakura's mouth who sucked him clean. Joey fell forward some until he could calm down and catch his breath.

Ryou had watched the whole thing from his vantage point and had moaned when his Yami had brought Joey to his peak. Joey's hand had left him during that time so he had brought his own hand up to help relieve himself. Joey noticing moved Ryou's hand out of the way so he could continue what he was doing. He felt Ryou tense and knew that he was close.

Yami Bakura did too and he pulled Ryou down close to him so that he could raise his hips better. Slamming into Ryou from underneath was almost more than he could take. Ryou held onto his Yami while Joey whose hand was trapped between them continued its motion on Ryou.

Yami Bakura's hard thrust and Joey's soft hand's were Ryou's undoing. He bit a little into his Yami's shoulder as the intense release hit him. When the darker one felt him spasm around him that was all it took as he rolled his eyes going as hard as he could. He tried to stop the strangled cry but failed as he released hard.

When the house quieted back down Yami Bakura opened his eyes to see the two smiling at him, he shook his head. He grabbed Ryou's hips not letting him up yet and sat up wrapping his arms around him. He kissed Ryou's neck before looking at Joey, "You two are such a pain at times"

Joey sat next to him so they touched putting an arm around him. "As if you didn't enjoy yourself

"You two planned this?" Yami Bakura said then reached over and gave Joey a small kiss.

Ryou shook his head "Well no, we came in and saw you sitting there and it just kind of seemed natural."

"Besides," Joey said rubbing his neck, "I owed you."

Ryou kissed his Yami's neck again feeling him rub up and down his back. He was starting to get cold though sitting on the hard floor and wanted up. "Well as comfortable as this is Yami there is a draft coming in from under the door, plus I have to call Anzu and apologize. You know that you hurt her feelings pretty bad."

Yami Bakura shrugged pushed Ryou off of him and stood up. "Like I care" He said and headed towards the bathroom.

Ryou shook his head finding himself in Joey's arms all of a sudden. "He will never change will he?"

Joey chuckled a little, "probably not."

"I guess I will have call her later and talk to her." Ryou looked at the time smiling, they still had the whole afternoon to go. "So what do you want to do now." He asked standing up.

Hearing the shower start he smiled, "Well I think Yami Bakura has the right idea. Then I don't know just hang out."

Ryou agreed holding Joey's hand he led them into the bathroom. The three took a nice hot shower just relaxing and working out now sore muscles.

After the shower and once dressed the three sat in Ryou's room. Joey and Yami Bakura were curled up on the bed in the corner practically asleep while Ryou had his head on his Yami's lap reading.

After awhile Ryou put his book down and stretched. He looked up at the two and smiled, they were both fast asleep. 'You may fool yourself Yami but you don't fool me, you care for him as much as I do.' Ryou thought as he saw how Yami Bakura was holding Joey possessively.

He snuck out of bed and pulled the quilt that lay at the foot of it over the sleeping pair. He went into the living room letting them sleep and turned on the TV. There wasn't much on and he ended of just channel surfing. He looked at the phone and wondered if he should call Anzu and apologize.

He debated with himself, after all it wasn't him that was rude to her… but he knew that if he didn't his Yami never would.

He picked up the phone and called letting it ring. After just a couple of times she answered it.

"Hello."

"Hi Anzu it's Ryou."

"Oh hi Ryou" She sounded tired.

"Listen I just wanted to apologize about earlier." Ryou said twiddling the phone cord.

"Oh you don't have to do that, really I understand."

"I know, but I still feel the need to."

"Well if you insist, thank you."

"Sure, so are you okay?"

"About what? Your Yami or Yami, Yugi and Seto"

"Yami, Yugi and Seto."

"What do you think, how would you like it if you found out that the person you have always been in love with loves another and that he never truly felt for you like that."

Ryou grimaced, "I don't know what to say Anzu."

"Your happy for them though aren't you" she accused.

Ryou jumped at the tone, "Well yes I am but that doesn't mean that I don't hate what it did to you."

Anzu sighed, "Sorry about that… I just… I don' t know, I built my life around Yami you know. He is the one I have always wanted, I loved him sooo much Ryou. It's not fair."

Ryou could tell she was sniffling obviously she hadn't really had anyone to talk to about this. "No it's not, I wish I could say something that would make it all better but I know I can't. The only thing I can say is don't give up hope, someone is out there for you."

She gave a bitter laugh, "Oh like who, I mean look at it Ryou, You have Joey, Honda has Mai, Yami and Yugi have Seto, who do I have?"

"You have all of us who care and love you. You will find that perfect person one day, we just happened to find ours earlier."

Anzu sighed, "I don't know if I will ever love again, it hurts so much."

"Shhh you will, you will be surprised when it happens and you will know then that it was meant to be."

"I guess, I don't know."

"Hey look at this way if you still want to go to New York, you can go without having any relationships holding you back. You have a whole life in front of you and your talented. I know I have seen you dance. Don't look at it negatively look at it in the positive that maybe this wasn't your future and your true path lies in the States."

Anzu was quiet for a moment, "You know Ryou your right. Maybe I am looking at this the wrong way. I have been trying to figure out where my life was going to be without Yami that I failed to notice the positives. It still hurts though."

"I know it does," Ryou said quietly.

Anzu laughed, "Oh and how's that. Every girl that you had ever dated before Joey you ended up breaking their hearts not the other way around."

Ryou stuttered, "Well yeah…heh…um I didn't want to do that."

"Yeah sure and now your totally off the market you and Joey both! Two of the hottest guys I know, do you know how many girls and guys around the country are crying over that."

"Oh I am sure," Ryou said blushing. "Well they will just have to find the now very available and very pretty friend of ours. I am sure that she will more than satisfy them."

"RYOU!!" She yelled.

"What?"

"You make me sound like a slut!"

Ryou waived his hands frantically even though she couldn't see them. "Oh I am sorry I didn't mean it that way really!!! I meant…oh never mind."

Anzu laughed," I'm kidding, listen tell Joey hi for me I have to go and I will see you two tomorrow."

"Okay and if you ever need to talk feel free to call me."

"Thanks Ryou you really helped, I mean it."

"Sure no problem."

He hung up the phone feeling better sitting back. He heard footsteps behind him and smiled as his Yami sat down on the couch. "Nice nap?"

Yami Bakura glared at him for a moment before leaning back in the corner. 'Guess not'

"Yami?"

"What!?"

Ryou flinched a little and Yami Bakura took notice. He had woken up and looked at Joey curled up beside him. He thought about all that has happened and was having a hard time adjusting. Damn it he was soft enough for Ryou why now another person. The next thing he would know he was going to be sitting out in the park singing 'peace' songs and making flower chains, with smiley faces painted all over him.

"Are you okay?"

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"You just…"

Yami Bakura sighed and yanked Ryou to him. "I'm fine Ryou" He then gave him a brutal kiss while holding him close by the collar of the shirt.

'Well I see he is back to normal' Ryou thought not really minding the rough kiss. Joey walked past them with barely a glance and went into the kitchen for a drink. He then sat down on the chair waiting for them to finish.

Yami Bakura turned to him, "Good to see you're awake too."

"Well it isn't hard when someone walks on you to get out of bed." Joey said frowning.

"Your lucky I didn't just kick you out of my way" He said still holding Ryou who was now getting a neck cramp.

"Um Yami…" Ryou said struggling a little.

"What?"

"Neck…cramp…ow!.. He managed to get out. Yami Bakura let go and reached around rubbing the tight spot on the neck. Ryou turned around with tears in his eyes so that he could reach it better. Joey just shook his head at the two that he loved so much.

After a few minutes Ryou relaxed against his Yami cramp now gone, Yami Bakura just held him for a moment. He kissed Ryou's head ever so often and Ryou sighed. He loved these rare days.

After a few moments Yami Bakura scooted away and kissed him one more time before going over to Joey. He sat down in his lap, "Yes?" Joey said confused.

Yami Bakura just smirked before giving him a very deep kiss, "I will catch you later." He said quietly before leaving to go to the ring.

Joey got up and joined Ryou on the couch. Ryou laid his head on Joey's chest wrapping his arms around him. "I called Anzu earlier." Ryou said muffled into Joey's shirt.

"Really what did she say?" Joey asked running a hand through his hair.

Ryou turned his head so he could speak better, "We just mainly talked about Yami and Yugi after I apologized."

"How is she feeling?"

Ryou sighed, "How do you expect her too. She really cared for Yami."

Joey smiled sadly, "Yes but not for Yugi."

"I know, and I told her that look at this way she can go to New York later without feeling burdened."

"Your right," he said laying his cheek on top of Ryou's head. They sat like that for a while enjoying the feel of each other. Ever so often Ryou or Joey would mumble something to each other to make the other blush

Giggling at something Joey had said Ryou sat back and looked at him. Wow did he love him so much; he felt his heart swell when he saw the sparkle in those honey colored eyes. It made him feel good knowing that he was the one making them shine like that.

Joey gave Ryou a weird look who was just staring at him. "What is something on my face?"

"No silly, I was just thinking about how happy you make me."

Joey sighed pulling back on his lap. "Good because for a second I thought that I had grown an extra nose or something."

Ryou laughed, "What am I going to do with you?"

"Well I can think of a few things I would let you do to me."

"Oh really?"

"Yep" He said grabbing the remote looking at the TV around Ryou. Ryou looked back at it and watched Joey flip through numerous channels.

"There wasn't anything on earlier either."

"Yeah, I hate daytime TV."

Ryou thought for a moment, "Hey come on." Ryou said scooting away "let's go out side". Joey nodded happily and followed Ryou out back. He loved the back of their house especially in the springtime. There was a tall privacy fence that surrounded the property and it was very garden like with shade trees everywhere.

There was a small little fountain in the middle with a Gazebo near it. There was a porch swing hanging from it's ceiling. It was one of their favorite places to go to be alone when Ryou's dad was home. It smelled great inside because of all the hanging plants and lilac bushes surrounding it.

It was a perfect day to sit outside too; it was warm without being hot and a gentle breeze blowing. The sky was a deep blue with small puffy little clouds. They sat down on the bench with Joey's arm around Ryou.

He leaned over and kissed him soundly on the lips hearing the birds singing in the background. He pulled away and leaned his forehead against Ryou's. The feeling of calmness and tranquility came over him. "I love you so much" he whispered, not wanting to ruin the effect the garden was having on them.

Ryou reached up and brushed Joey's bangs out of his way. "I love you also."

He kissed Joey again pressing his body against his love. Ryou moaned as he parted his lips again letting Joey take control. Joey let his hands run over Ryou's back coming to rest on his hips. Ryou moved his hand down to Joey's shirt and slipped it underneath.

"Ryou" Joey whispered his name against his lips as Ryou gently rubbed the smooth chest letting his hand go where it wanted.

Joey let out a groan and arched his chest. Ryou giggled and dropped his hands down to his pants to find that Joey was excited again. Joey blushed, "Why is it we can make mad passionate love that turns me to mush and I still want more."

"I don't know once you figure it out though let me know because I am the same way. I don't think I will ever get tired of your and Yami's body."

Joey kissed him again hard this time moaning as Ryou started rubbing the growing member harder. "Aren't you worried that someone will see?" Joey asked quietly while moving down to Ryou's throat."

"No" was all he said before shuddering as he felt Joey's hands on his own hardness.

"I want you" Joey whispered passion overwhelming him.

Ryou's trembling hands fumbled but finally got Joey's pants unbuttoned. He slipped his hand in and found the member pulling out and stroking it lovingly making Joey pant. Joey quickly did the same for Ryou wanting to hear him breathe just as hard, wanting to give him so much right then. They continued to kiss hard stroking each other and involuntary moving against each other's hand. Ryou pulled back and stared into Joey's glazed eyes. "I love you so much Joey," he whispered "I was blessed the day we finally came together."

Joey closed his eyes against the tears that threaten to spill over at his declaration, he had felt the same way so many times, barely being able to control his voice he choked out "love you" before attacking the collar bone with his lips.

"I need more, I need you" Ryou said gasping.

Joey nodded; he wanted Ryou so much right now that it hurt him down to his soul. He helped Ryou stand up a little and Joey pushed his pants down just a bit. He then sat his beautiful lover on his lap kissing his back; he smiled as he got a deja-vu feeling from an earlier encounter.

Ryou leaned his head back with his mouth slightly opened as Joey lowered him onto his hardness. He groaned loudly as Joey entered him fully loving the way Joey felt underneath him. He sat still for a moment getting used to it, he was still a little sore from earlier. Then to his surprise Joey pushed off and started swinging just a little creating a soft rocking motion between them.

He felt Joey reach around him holding him tight and lay his head on his back. There was no hurry to this just gentle motions and Ryou leaned back against him. The slow movements were exquisite though and soon had both of them moaning. Joey still held on to Ryou as he felt the loud moan reverberate through his body. Using one hand he gently squeezed Ryou's member while holding him close still. Ryou reached his hand back and wrapped his arm around Joey's neck bring his face close to his neck.

The little garden was quiet except for the birds and two lover's breaths as the swing rocked them back and forth. Occasionally a moan would sneak out but other than that it was perfect stillness.

With his mouth next to Ryou's ear Joey whispered his undying devotion to him his breath tickling Ryou's neck. Joey had been using gentle hand movements on Ryou that felt like electricity to him coursing through that area. Suddenly it sparked and Ryou tensed back into him, Joey feeling this held on to him tight and stroked him harder.

Ryou turned his body and Joey leaned forward capturing the soft lips as Ryou released. They strangled cry was lost with Joey's own moan. As soon as Ryou had tensed it had also pushed Joey over so that he had followed his lover into pleasure together. Joey had sweet tears running down his cheek and Ryou was panting not wanting to let his mouth go.

When he finally pulled back Ryou looked at him wonder and amazement. Joey had just said exactly how much he loved him without saying a word and Ryou understood it. Joey was still rocking the swing some and kept rubbing his hands up and down Ryou's arms.

Joey suddenly wrapped his arms around the white haired angel and laid his head against his back. With a shuddering voice Joey said, "I love you so much Ryou, I want you to promise me something."

Ryou sighed leaning back against him. "What love?"

"Promise me that we will be together always. I want you with me, I need you with me."

Ryou sighed, "I promise that if I have it my way we will. But we don't know what the future has in store for us, fate may have other plans."

"Then promise me you won't forget me if that happens."

Ryou shifted off of him and pulled his pants back up curling up next to him on the swing. Joey buttoned his up as well. "I promise love that you will remain in my heart no matter what, you are part of my soul. I could never forget you or do I ever want to."

"Good because I do love you and to me you are my future.' Ryou turned over and laid is head on Joey's lap smiling up at him with Joey still swinging. Joey then rubbed the ring softly, "Both of you." Smiling Ryou looked up and saw the curtain was parted at the house next door. Grinning he waived to the woman that lived there who shut it immediately.

The two looked at each other and cracked up laughing. "You are to much" Joey said kissing him.

"But you love me and have to put up with me" Ryou said winking.

"Yes I do" Joey sighed and smiled down at his relaxed love. Running his fingers up and down Ryou's neck softly listening to him sigh.

They noticed that the sun was starting to set and they still didn't move from their positions. Ryou with his head in Joey's lap and Joey softly swinging them, watching birds fly back to their nests for the night. They knew that things wouldn't always be this peaceful but with the three of them together bound by emotions and loyalty there was nothing they couldn't face.
