Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Reunited ❯ Memories ( Chapter 3 )

Ahh, So much schoolwork!

As soon as they got inside the phone rang. Ryou went into the kitchen and picked it up. "Hey?"

"Hey Ryou, it's Jou."

"Oh hi Jou, what's up?" Ryou asked absent mindedly.

"Nothing really, I just wanted to make sure you got home okay." he replied.

"I did." Ryou said shortly. He didn't mean to be rude, but he wasn't a phone person.

"Do you want to hang out tomorrow?" Jou asked hopefully.

"Actually, I promised Yugi I'd come over there." Ryou was glad he had this excuse, he really didn't want to spend any more time with Jou than he had to.

"Great, I'll come too!" Jou said enthusiastically.

Ryou noticed that Bakura was listening to the conversation with a gradually deepening frown. "Uh sure." Ryou told Jou, "I have to go Jou, See ya." He then hung up and looked at the pissed off Bakura.

"Obviously you'd rather spend time with them than me, so I'll be leaving." Bakura stated and started walking towards the door. Ryou ran forward and grabbed his arm.

"Wait Bakura, I didn't mean... I don't really want to go! Well I do but I'd rather... Just please stay!" He pleaded.

Bakura looked at him coldly, pushed him away hard, and left slamming the door behind him. Ryou sunk down into the couch in frustration. Bakura came to see him and now he's leaving over something so little? He tried to put himself in Bakura's place, but he couldn't see himself getting so mad over the phonecall. Maybe a little annoyed but Bakura really needed to get his temper under control. Ryou didn't feel at all like going to Yugi's tomorrow, but Yugi was one of his only friends and he promised him he'd come. Emotionally weary, Ryou quickly fell asleep on the couch.

It was the beginning of the summer and Bakura was planning a vacation for himself and Ryou. Ryou was so happy and excited that he'd be spending so much time alone with his yami, and he'd get to travel some too. He really wanted to tell Bakura how he felt about him, how he loved him, and he thought it was an excellent time to do that. So the day before they were to leave, Ryou worked up his courage.

"Bakura? How do you feel about me?" He asked timidly.

"What the hell do you mean?" Bakura replied quick and agitatedly.

"Well" Ryou took a deep breath and continued, "I love you and I want to know if you feel the same way." He finally said and then fell silent waiting for an answer.

Bakura looked at him, surprised. Ryou was just begininng to think that his yami's response might be good, when the surprise melted into frustration and confusion. "I'm leaving Ryou, don't follow me." Bakura stated without emotion and walked out, slamming the door behind him much like he just did. Tears fell from Ryou's eyes as the sound of the slamming door echoed loudly in his head...

Ryou opened his eyes to see two staring back at him. He jumped up with a shriek. Bakura raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing here?" Ryou asked, his shock changing to confusion.

"I felt that I possibly overreacted just a little." Bakura ignored Ryou's eye roll, "So I came back, but don't expect an apology or anything." he continued, "I didn't mean to wake you up, I must of shut the door too loudly."

"That's okay." Ryou mumbled thinking of his dream, and the day it had recalled.

Bakura caught the look on Ryou's face and added, "You must have been having some dream, you were crying and terrified when you woke up."

"Hm, do you think it might of had something to do with waking up to you staring at me?" Ryou replied sarcastically.

"Perhaps, but that doesn't explain the tears. So what was it, drowning, spiders, dinosaurs?" Bakura asked amused.

"Just memories." Ryou replied vaguely meeting Bakura's eyes. Bakura understood and looked away. Ryou couldn't tell, but he though he may have seen a trace of regret on Bakura's face. But when he turned back it was carefully blank again.

"Well I'm here now, so what do you wanna do?" He asked ignoring the fact that it was probably about 2:00 in the morning.

"I was thinking sleep maybe?" Ryou replied. "Do you realize what time it is?"

"What!? It's fuckin early!" Bakura said disbelieving.

"Mmhmm..."

"Fine we'll sleep if you wanna be a boring killjoy." Bakura said dissapointed.

"Killjoy?" Ryou asked with a smile as he headed walked towards the bedroom.

Bakura ignored him and continued. "I can think of hundreds better things to do than sleep at 2:00 in the morning." The look on Bakura's face as he said this made it clear that he was thinking in particular about activities that took place in the bedroom...

Ryou blushed as he pushed open the door. He watched as Bakura followed him in, took off his shirt, and collapsed onto the bed. "This is my room Bakura." Ryou informed him.

Bakura looked at him with a scowl. "We can share."

Ryou didn't want to offend him, and truthfully, he'd always wanted to spend the night with his yami. So he argued no more and took off his own shirt before getting under the covers.

I always forget how much fun I have writing this. Review please!
