Love & Lost

Here is chapter 13, just like I promised! ENJOY!

Ryou ran into his house collapsing on the couch almost
exhausted. He sniffled slightly but didn’t allow himself to cry. Bakura walked
in the living room noticing how distressed Ryou was as he went over to him and
began to rub his back soothingly.

“Why do I let him effect me like this?” Ryou asked to
particularly no one.

Bakura frowned “Why do you give him so much of yourself? You
told me he didn’t love you and yet you can’t tear yourself away from him…he’s hurting
you Ryou can’t you see that?” Bakura asked softly still rubbing Ryou back.

Ryou turned to face him “He says it’s because he loves me
that he hurts me, he’s so afraid that he’ll make my life miserable if we were
together but why can’t he see I’m miserable either way, and I need him…” Ryou
said tears falling from his delicate face.

Bakura kissed his cheek gently. “Does he really love you?”
Bakura asked.

“He said he did, but I was so angry I threw it in his face
and ran away…I wanted him to chase after me and tell me he was sorry, but he
just let me go.” Ryou said falling into Bakura’s chest and crying freely as
Bakura rubbed his back and tried to sooth the youth the best he could. He was
about to speak and try to consol Ryou when the doorbell rang and Bakura smiled
slightly pulling Ryou away from him.

”Maybe he did follow you.” Bakura said smiling at him as he closed his eyes and
disappeared into the ring. ‘Tell him you were wrong Ryou, tell him you do
love him…if you’re already miserable what do you have to loose?’ he said
before shutting off the link.

Ryou looked at the door wiping away his tears as he went to
it opening it and slightly relived and slightly disappointed, it was a
complicated felling but to see Seto there made him wonder, Seto did follow
him…maybe he actually did care.

“Are you here to make me even more upset? Because if you are
I’ll tell you I really can’t handle it.” Ryou said sniffling softly.

Seto frowned and hugged Ryou to his chest “No Ryou, I’ve
only wanted your happiness and you should know that, I’ve only wanted for you
to be happy.” He half sobbed.

“Then why do you do this to me? Why can’t you just tell me
you love me and want me?” Ryou asked pushing him away and walking into the
house Seto following him inside shutting the door behind himself.

“Ryou…tell me what you want me to say and I will say it, you
know I love you and although you deny it I know you still love me too.” Seto
said making Ryou stop in his tracks turning to meet Seto’s piercing gaze.

“What makes you so sure?” Ryou asked, “What makes you think
I still love you?” Ryou asked “I went to your house for the soul purpose to
hide what I feel from you and everybody else. I didn’t want your confession of
love Seto, I never wanted to love you in the first place but I couldn’t help
myself.” Ryou said his eyes filling with new tears ready to be shed.

“I don’t want you to be like me Ryou, hiding my emotions
from you was one of the worst things I had ever done in my life, I was so
confused by how you made me feel I wanted to hurt you…so I did and I’m sorry.
But even after I hurt you I still loved you and I wanted to be near you so I
tried to make you hate me instead…I guess it worked.” Seto said sadly.

”No…I wanted to hate you, I tried to hate you even…but I couldn’t I tried to
replace you and I couldn’t…all I ever wanted was you Seto.” Ryou said, “Tell me
you want me.” Ryou said praying Seto still did.

“I want you Ryou.” Seto said softly taking a step closer to
him “I need you and I love you, and I don’t ever want you to leave me again…now
please tell me you feel the same and that we can start over a new.” Seto asked

“No more late night sleepovers? No more hiding what you feel
from me? You’ll tell me you love me, and you won’t care what others think?”
Ryou asked

“If anyone has a problem with me loving you they can go to
hell, I’m tired of this game and I want to be with you, not near you, not
around you, with you…I want the whole world to know I love you Ryou Bakura but
most of all I want you to know I love you.” Seto said seeing for the
first time in a long time happiness fill Ryou’s eyes. “Please say we can start
over, and we can actually try to be together, I will do everything I can to
make you happy, this might be a risk but I’m willing to take it…are you?” HE
asked as Ryou smiled at him and jumped in his arms hugging him strongly.

”Yes! Yes, yes, yes!” Ryou said latching onto Seto as happy tears fell down his
face “I’m sorry for everything and I…” Seto quieted Ryou.

“Lets forget everything before all right? Let’s never speak of
it again, this is where everything for us starts…right now, this moment.” Seto
said kissing Ryou strongly “Our very first kiss.” He said smiling at the boy
who had a small blush across his features.

“Make love to me?” Ryou asked softly he wanted Seto more
than anything at that moment. “I want our first time to be special and what
more special than the night of our union?” Ryou asked looking into those deep,
beautiful, blue eyes of Seto’s.

Seto looked back at him “Are you sure you want me to?” Seto
asked, he had never asked Ryou if he wanted to before, and he wanted things to
go right this time.

“Yes Seto, I want you to make love to me.” Ryou assured as he brought Seto down
into a fiery kiss.

Hope you guys are still interested! A lot of people are
asking me to updated the two stories that are in collaboration with other
writers and like I said please don’t ask for those since I’m not in charge,
Regret is one you simply cannot ask for because the fact that the writer who I
work with computer is in the shop and will be for some time, ask for one’s that
do not require other’s please! Anyway…
