Room for Rent II

Chapter Eight

AN: Oh, and I'm explaining the jokes in this chapter, since most of them are a bit… odd.

"Ryoooooooooooooooooooooooou," Bakura whined.

"Hm?" Ryou asked. He didn't look up from the mound of papers he was trying to commit to memory.

"You've been studying all week!"

"I have to keep doing this, Bakura! The final is tomorrow! …as a matter of fact, shouldn't you be studying for your finals?"

"I took my last final two days ago. I guess you were just too busy to notice."

"I'm sorry," Ryou mumbled apologetically.

"Ryoooooooooooooou… I'm feeling unloved!"

"I'll give you all the love you need and more once I've aced my final. Deal?"

"…but I want love now."

"You're just as bad as father… are he and Pegasus still in bed?"

"They were the last time I checked-but then again, I try to make it a point to avoid their room…"

"I don't blame you," Ryou mumbled, standing. Ryou wandered to his room; Bakura was close behind.

"Are you finished studying?" Bakura asked, excited.

"No… I still have at least a hundred pages left to memorize." Ryou was looking in a folder for more notes.

"You know what, Ryou?" Bakura asked quietly.

"Ne?" Ryou mumbled, rifling through the gargantuan stack of papers that he had finally retrieved.

"I SAY YOU'RE FINISHED STUDYING!" Bakura yelled, taking the folder and notes away from Ryou.

Ryou glared at him venomously and tried to wrestle the notes from Bakura. When Ryou realized that Bakura was much stronger than him, he gave up. "I still have more notes that I can study," Ryou said, shrugging. Without too much warning, Ryou found himself on his bed. Bakura was leaning over him, smirking. He bent down to plant a kiss on Ryou's lips.

"But Bakuraaaaaaa!" Ryou protested. "I have to studyyyyyyyyy! Mmmnh!"

Bakura collapsed onto Ryou.

"Ow… I think you're crushing my luuuuuuuung…" Ryou whined. "I'm small and delicate, remember? You can't just jump on me!"

Bakura pulled him into a feverish kiss. Ryou gasped something into his mouth that sounded quite a bit like, "Kidneyyyyyy…"

"You know, Ryou," Bakura mumbled, stopping momentarily to nip at Ryou's neck, "I'd be a lot more appreciative if you wouldn't say other people's names during our foreplay, dear…"

"Study… need… study…"

"You're a studying zombie. I aim to fix that!" Bakura declared from his perch on Ryou's stomach. He then attempted to undo the buttons on Ryou's shirt. The first button popped off and hit him in the eye. "Itaiiiiiii!"

"You ruined my shirt!" Ryou screeched.

"Your shirt ruined my eye!" Bakura shrieked back. "…you should wear T-shirts from now on."

"My shirt is loose enough that you could've just slipped it over my head," Ryou said.

"Oh, you're being helpful now?" Bakura asked, quickly taking Ryou's advice.

"Aren't you going to take off your shirt too?" Ryou asked hopefully.

"Wow, Ryou… are you feeling frisky?"

"Well, I was trying to get rid of all the nasty vegetables in the fridge, so all I've had today has been tomatoes and avocadoes and asparagus…"

"You've been eating aphrodisiacs!"

Ryou giggled. "Good thing for you, ne? Otherwise, you'd be dead!"

"Why would I be dead?" Bakura asked, confused.

"I would have killed you for jumping me."

"Oh. Right."

"APPENDIX!" Ryou shrieked.

He grinned, staring at his lover. The white-haired boy was currently passed out, completely exhausted. There was evidence of their late-night activities all around the room. He giggled a little. "Wow…" He gave his lover a peck on the cheek.

"Jeez, we're going to be like Mariku and Malik soon…" he said as he headed out to his car. He yawned; he'd woken up extra early in order to study. The literature final loomed ahead of him as he drove off to school.

"Good morning, Ryou," Professor Mikuni greeted. He was sporting a black eye and a busted lip, as well as lots of other injuries that were hidden by his clothing. "Are you up to the challenge of taking your final?"

"Yes," he said in a tone that left no room for argument.

"That's lovely! …but my offer is still open if you fail."

He grinned. "It's a little late now, Professor," he mumbled as he sat down in his seat. (explanation number one)

Mikuni's eyes bulged. "Who was it, Ryou?! Who was it?"

"…my boyfriend."

Mikuni went off to sob in the corner.

He stared at the test questions. It was a multiple choice exam, so theoretically… he would get at least a quarter of the questions right. However, the exam had pleasantly surprised him. He knew the first five answers without even thinking.

"…maybe this won't be so hard after all," he said happily.

"Shh!" came the voices of the people in desks next to his.

"Oh, shut up. I don't need to copy your papers. I have all the answers up here," he said, pointing to his head. "…Kidneys, man, kidneys!" (explanation number two)

Two hours later, he was handing in his test and his answers. He gave a heavy sigh. "All done!"

"Hey, Ryou! Wait up!" someone behind him called. He turned.

"Hello, Otogi," he said with a strained smile.

"Are you done with finals yet?"

"Yep! I just finished the last one."

"That's great!" Otogi said happily.

"Yes, well I'd better be going back home…"

Otogi gave him a funny look. "Ryou, your voice sounds funny… what have you been doing?"

"Oh… nothing much…"

"Sit down," Otogi ordered.

The boy blushed. "No!"

A shocked look passed over Otogi's face. "AAAAAH! OH, KAMI-SAMA! THEY FINALLY DID IT!" He ran away screaming.

He sweat-dropped.

Ryou blearily opened his eyes. He was surprised that Bakura wasn't still in bed next to him, but he figured that the boy had just gone to get some food or something… big brown eyes turned to the clock on the bedside table. His eyes widened.

"AHHHHHHH! AFTER ALL THAT STUDYING, I OVERSLEPT! …waaah…" He began sobbing uncontrollably. "I… I tried so hard… and it was all for nothing!"

He heard footsteps outside his room; the door burst open. "What's wrong, Ryou?" Bakura was beside him, wrapping his arms around Ryou's shoulders.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME?! I MISSED MY TEST BECAUSE OF YOU AND YOUR LIBIDO!"

"Aww, Ryou… I just didn't have the heart to wake you… you looked so exhausted…"

Ryou blushed, but he was able to recover quickly. "SO? NOW I'LL HAVE TO SLEEP WITH MIKUNI!"

Bakura was smirking. "No, you won't."

"What?"

"I took your test for you!"

"WHAT?! YOU IDIOT!" Ryou shrieked, and began bashing Bakura's head in with a desk lamp.

"…ouch…"

"HOW COULD YOU EVEN THINK OF DOING THAT?! YOU'RE USELESS WHEN IT COMES TO LITERATURE! I'LL PROBABLY GET A NEGATIVE SCORE!"

Bakura sighed, sweat-dropping. "Relax, Ryou. I aced it."

"You couldn't have."

"I did."

"Waaaaaaah!"

"You'll see, Ryou. I really did get an A on that."

"…mou," Ryou mumbled, and collapsed on his bed.

"Hey, Bob…" Pegasus began, smoothing out his rumpled clothes.

"Yeah?"

"Would you… err… would you like to come live with me?"

Bob turned shocked eyes to Pegasus. "You… you really mean it?"

"Of course I do, Bob-the-sexy-man! I wouldn't have said it if I didn't mean it!"

"Wow… O.K.!"

"And Ryou and his lover can live here and we can all be happy!" Pegasus declared.

"RYOU HAS A LOVER?!" Bob squeaked loudly.

"Of course he does! Didn't you hear the two of them last night?"

"…you were so good that I wasn't paying attention to much else," Bob whispered.

Pegasus blushed. "I am good, aren't I? It's so astute of you to notice!"

There were loud sounds coming from Ryou's bedroom. Bob stared at the door, which was locked. Bob gulped. "…"

"Oh, that's not what you think it is. They're having an argument."

Bob breathed a sigh of relief. "That would've been… odd."

"Not as odd as what Ryou has seen us doing, let me assure you. So, when will you be moving in?"

"Er… umm… as soon as I'm packed, I guess!" Bob declared, grinning happily.

"Then I'll help you!" Pegasus offered, grabbing a suitcase from Thin Airâ"¢.

"…I love you, Pegsy!" Bob said with sparkly eyes.

Pegasus smirked. "I know."

"How?" Bob asked, bewildered.

Pegasus pulled back his hair to reveal the sennen eye. "I CAN READ YOUR MIND! BWA HA HA HA!"

Bob sweat-dropped. "Let's go get you some medicine, honey…"

AN: Mou! …I think the next chapter will be the last one, although I'm not entirely sure. Either way, the story is about to end… and I'm glad. This story hasn't been very nice to me. *sigh*

Either way, I've got some esplainin' to do!

Explanation number 1: …there was this guy on my bus… and one day he said `You sit like a virgin'. It was…odd. And a little scary.

Explanation number 2: does anyone remember that joke?... I said `kidneys, man, kidneys' to my friends and they didn't understand… I'm just wondering if anyone recognizes it. =P

REVIEW, MORTAL FOOLS! *cough* Don't mind him. He's just another one of the voices in my head.
