Warning: Fluffy like a bunny
Author’s Note: This is not a stunt, nor a game. I write these fan fictions because I need to relieve the stress of my day and get my mind off of the 400 page plus manuscript I am writing for myself and as a future English major/creative writing concentration thesis. I enjoy praise, but I have never pulled any stunts to get more reviews. If me updating all the time was a stunt so I could get more reviews, I’d be working on my Gundam fic right now, trying to get those neglected fans to forgive my laziness.
I don’t know how to take some of the so called “criticism” I receive. Too many times I keep reading, “I don’t like the pairing but each to its own” or that the fic is “too weird” or something like that. Someone even wrote that they were “traumatized”. Then why read? I could be an absolute ass and delete every vaguely negative review I get, But I don’t do that. Why? To each its own.
I really do enjoy the reader’s enthusiasm. It is what made me write three fan fictions in a two week period and come back to do “With You”. The reader’s, brought me back and the excitement of truly doing what I haven’t seen anyone else do with out the taunt of a challenge.
Should I be rewarded? No. People like Velvetina, RYOU MOON, BlacKat, darkchan, crimsoncoral, futile faith, ShadowofLight, Rachel Dragon, Wicabeth, Mirikonoko, Ghost Dragon, ~!~Adam~!~, Lady Laran, Camille, Reyn, ecristy85, Millie Ishtar Motou, Red Dragon of Egypt, Zacarane, Heike, Devious lil Devil, Kat Black, narm., Shivers, Zoe, Lileh, Liccy, Kenz, Ana, Yami Kitsune, Magi Valkyrie, Yamimi, Shizuma, cinnarolls, setosgirl, aspiker, Kat1132, Daaku!Malik, Amy, and many more are reward enough.
But enough of my calm, curse-word free rantings. I give you chapter four of “With You”.
~*~
Ryou woke at six and showered. When he was done he put on some clothes and went to go start breakfast. Before he could even reach the kitchen, he ran into Pegasus.
“Ryou! I was going to make breakfast!”
The white haired boy laughed. “I was going to make breakfast!”
The long haired many smiled and motioned for Ryou to step inside the kitchen. “Then we can do it together!”
The hikari kept smiling and got out all the necessary supplies. “What do you want?”
Pegasus took out some utensils and plates. “Depends on what you’ve got. I only have minimal staff at my estate, so I do much of my own cooking. I’ve been told I make a mean omelet.”
Ryou took out some waffle batter that he’d already made. “Then I’ll make us some waffles. I haven’t met anyone who doesn’t like, then, not even my yami!”
****
Bakura sneezed as he watched the early morning news. Seto came out of the bathroom, a towel around his neck.
“Sick?”
“No…”
****
By the time the two white haired men were done, there was a sumptuous breakfast spread of omelets, waffles, fresh fruit, orange juice and milk, and two kinds of jam since Pegasus wanted toast.
The older man took the tray in the living room and set it on the coffee table, taking up the remote. Ryou followed him, still in his Kuriboh slippers.
“Morning stocks?”
Pegasus grinned, shaking his head as he bit into a strawberry. Random sounds emanated from the plasma screen and the man laughed as a cartoon hunter was cracked on the skull with a mallet.
Ryou giggled as well and sat down next to Pegasus. “I haven’t watched early morning cartoons in a long time…”
“I make time.”
The youth picked up his plate and ate his omelet, squeaking with delight. “Oishii!”
“I know.” The artist sipped his orange juice. “Tell me, about Dartz –”
Ryou smiled and put down his fork. “He’s the best thing to happen to me in a long time. He’s the sweetest, most caring –He’s a real gentlemen.”
Pegasus looked down into his orange juice. “Is that so…”
“It is…” the boy sighed, getting a dreamy look in his eyes. “He wooed me with letters you know? Pretended to be a secret admirer…”
The white haired man listened, nodding. “Perhaps I should try something like that on the boy I like…”
Ryou brushed his bangs out of his face and cut his waffle. “Well, you said you’ve talked to him right?”
“Yes, hours on the phone. I called him last night though…he was upset and he said that…he didn’t want to talk and that he was sending my present back.”
“Ouch. Did you do something wrong?”
Pegasus shook his head, eating some omelet. “I’ve called him, I messaged him just the other night…that’s all. I talked to him at the party…he seemed very…I think someone else is involved. Some one is dripping poison in his ear…”
Ryou grinned. “Well, as long as you don’t pull a Hamlet…”
On the television, a mouse popped a grey tom cat in the eye and both men laughed.
****
Dartz nodded in approval at what Raphael told him. He sipped his coffee and glanced over some reports.
“I’m glad you listened to my advice. He would have done nothing but hurt you. And besides, you’ve had so many girlfriends. The right girl will come along.”
Raphael settled back against the limo seat and crossed his arms. Yeah, but I’m sick of sleeping around…and I’m tired of dumb ass cheerleaders.
Dartz looked into Raphael’s eyes. “What’s wrong?”
“He just seemed…real upset you know? Like maybe he was going to cry maybe?”
“That’s the way he is. He’s just trying to manipulate you.”
The brawny looking blond raised his eyebrow. “How would you know? You got it out for this guy or something?”
“Trust me, don’t get involved with him.”
“Why D-”
“I DON’T want to talk about it!” the youth said vehemently. Raphael was taken aback and quickly turned his gaze away.
Dartz regained his composure and set his coffee down in a holder, his hand shaking.
“Do you really want to know? We have some time before school.”
Raphael shrugged. “Look D, it’s cool, you don’t have to tell me anything okay? I’m just the muscle, I’m the big dumb blond. Let it go.”
Dartz sighed and smoothed his hair, checking to see that his hair tie was still in place. “I was fifteen going on sixteen and my parents were having a get together. This is when we still lived in some of the United States’ territorial islands…Pegasus was twenty-five. I wasn’t having the most fun at this get together, too many stuffed shirts, too many aristocratic bastards. I was ready to go out of my mind. That’s when I met Pegasus.”
The aqua haired lad shut his eyes, and continued. “We talked, for a long time. I enjoyed his company. It felt good to laugh. There wasn’t much to go around. My father, they don’t call him Iron Heart for nothing, wasn’t an affectionate man. My mother had died at my birth and he didn’t have time to molly-coddle a child. I took to him instantly, I fell for him instantly. The next thing I knew, I had been with him, and I didn’t want tit to stop.”
Raphael just watched Dartz speak. The other boy had never said so much to him at once.
“That’s when it really began. I wanted to see him, needed to see him. I started to take the occasional trip to his estate on an island retreat, then occasional became all my breaks that year and finally during the summer…”
Dartz swallowed as he remembered, refusing to be upset over it. “He was with someone else. Let’s put it like that. I came in one day, I’d been out on the yacht and there he was…he’d always had too many servants for my liking and it was then I knew why. He couldn’t have been anymore than nineteen, twenty at least. I just stood there while he plowed into the kitchen boy and when he was done, I snatched the medallion off my neck and right in his face.”
“Dartz…”
“You know what that bastard told me? He said he knew it was going to happen. That’s what that asshole said. He said he was just trying to make time go by faster, that he had bigger fish to fry, more important things to do…” the teen was bitter as he stared into his lap. “Then all that duel monsters crap exploded…whatever. Never trust a man with a golden eye…”
The limo slowed to a stop and neither of them moved.
“I’m sorry Dartz.”
The young investor ran a hand through his hair. “Sure. It’s fine. I just thought you should know.”
He left the limo and Raphael then, slamming the door. Raphael recovered his back pack and looked over to where Dartz had been sitting.
He doesn’t have that eye anymore…he’s not like that…I know he isn’t…
****
Ryou switched his books out, turning as he felt someone behind him. It was Dartz.
“Hi!” he chirped, taking the boy’s hand. “Why didn’t you stay last night? Pegasus and I played chess!”
Dartz did his best to be excited, but failed miserably. “I don’t approve of you…allowing him to stay with you. He’s…a –He’s despicable”
Ryou kissed his boyfriend. “Don’t be jealous. It’s you I want.” The white haired boy smiled. “If you’d stayed…we could have made him jealous together!”
Dartz kissed Ryou’s forehead and rubbed his back. “Let’s go. You need to be on time to class today.”
Ryou laughed and linked arms with Dartz, walking down the hall.
**
Malik sat on Otogi’s desk, letting the boy feel up his shirt. “And I was looking at Yami-chan like he was crazy. There was no way I was going out at two a.m. to get him more cigarettes!”
The Dice King leaned up and kissed Malik’s mouth. “Sit on my lap…”
The Egyptian grinned and slipped down to sit on Otogi’s lap where he immediately felt the strength of the boy’s hard on.
“Baby…” he whispered. “We can’t in class you know that…”
Otogi was moving Malik on his lap. “I know but…come on.”
Malik kissed his boyfriend and stopped him from snapping his thong. “Gi-kun!”
Later at lunch, Malik and Otogi were no where to be seen at the table and neither was Ryou. The white haired boy was over near Dartz, trying to be discreet about their kisses.
Ryou felt one of Dartz’s hands up his jacket and the boy pressed closer to him. “Dartz?”
“I just want to touch you, that’s all.”
“At school? Dartz, people might –”
The boy gave him a kiss and pulled him closer. “I’m with you Ryou. I don’t care what others say.”
The white haired boy nodded, snuggling into the boy. “You just seemed really upset last night and this morning is all.”
“I’m fine. I just, don’t like Pegasus. He did me a bad turn once and I’ll never forget it.” Dartz stared into space for a bit then came back to life. “Say, Dearest, there’s a get together soon –”
“Yeah! You told me about it…” Ryou blushed. “Yesterday in the car…”
The older boy smiled. “I tried to. Would you like to come? I get to buy you a tuxedo and you get to see the asses I work with!”
Ryou giggled and nodded, rubbing his nose to Dartz’s. “Can you take me around this afternoon? I saw a little cap that was like a hamster…”
Dartz sighed. “Can’t Dearest. Duty calls. I won’t be available for sometime.”
The boy pouted. “You’re awful! I’ll have to be all by myself!”
“Think of me and your loneliness will dissipate!”
Ryou giggled and leaned up for another kiss.
****
Raphael held the laptop forward, unable to meet the eyes of the person he was giving it to. “I don’t want it.”
“Why not? Why don’t you want to talk with me anymore!?”
The jock wavered and shook his head. “Look, I know what you did to Dartz and besides, what do you want with me anyway?! I’m straight!”
Pegasus watched the jock then looked down as well. “I’ve been talking to you for weeks. You failed to mention that with all your flirting.”
Raphael’s head snapped up. “Flirting!? I was just talking with you!”
“Whatever!” the one eyed man looked up, angry and disappointed. “Keep the blasted laptop. It’s not like I needed it anyway!”
“I don’t want it!”
“Take it! You know, I hope you had a good time screwing around with me!” the man tossed his hair, trying to regain his composure. “you really messed this one up Pegasus…” he muttered, turning away.
Raphael watched the man walk away, still holding the laptop.
****
When Ryou got home, he took his purchase out of the bag and went over to the mirror. Switching his cat cap for the hamster one, Ryou giggled as he saw the black eyes peering back at him from the top of his head.
“Kawaii!” he squeaked, snatching the cap off and hugging it.
That’s when he heard something.
Tilting his head to the side and closing his eyes, Ryou followed the sound. When he opened his eyes, he was outside of Pegasus’s room.
Sobs sounded through the wooden door unabashed and Ryou knocked gently.
“Pegasus?”
“Yes?”
“Are you alright?”
“Of course Ryou! I’m merely packing! You see, I won’t be around for that party after all. It’s so disappointing! I always cry over things like this.”
The white haired boy poked his head in and saw Pegasus sitting on the bed, his head down, clutching a collar t-shirt.
“Pegasus?” he went to sit down beside him. “What happened?”
“Apparently, he’s straight as an arrow. He knows about what happened between Dartz and me.”
Ryou rubbed his back and leaned on him, hugging him. “Rejection is really…hard.”
“You’re telling me. When I was younger there wasn’t any problem but lately…and now you know I have…just one eye. I don’t even seem to pick up the artist groupies anymore.”
“Don’t be ashamed that you have one eye. You could…get…an eye patch with a little bunny on it. A toon blue eyes?”
Pegasus stiffened then began to laugh, hard. Ryou joined him and when they calmed, the older man swept the hair from the left side of his face for Ryou to see. The white haired boy didn’t recoil as he saw Pegasus’s face, one eye forever closed.
“Beneath that lid is nothing. Not even the semblance of an eye. Just this hollow.”
“You could get a glass eye and no one said that you were ugly.”
The man sighed. “You should hear the jokes they make. I’m blind in one eye, not deaf in both ears.”
Ryou realized he still had his hat in is hand and gave it to Pegasus for no reason, smiling at the man. “I know that.”
Pegasus smiled. “You know…you’re…a really good kid Ryou.”
The boy beamed and watched Pegasus examine the cap. The man leaned forward and kissed Ryou on the forehead.
“He deserves you. I want you to know that. You’re sweet, kind, and loyal.”
“And you?”
“He was sixteen. He wanted love. I broke his heart because I saw there was no future between us. I was wrong.”
“Have you told him?”
The man shook his head. “And now with Raphael…”
“Yes?”
He smiled, closing his eyes and shaking his head. “Just a stupid feeling you know.” He laid back on the bed and exhaled. “Perhaps my parents were right. I haven’t done a thing with my life and I don’t think I ever will.”
“Well, at least you have friends!”
Pegasus laughed. “Yeah? And where are they?”
Ryou leaned over him, smiling gently. “Right here.”
Pegasus smiled back, it reached his eyes.
“Do you want some cocoa?”
“Do you want some cookies?”
Ryou nodded, giggling.
Pegasus sat up, thrusting the cap in the air. “To the kitchen Ryou-boy!”
“To the kitchen Peg-chan!”
The man stopped. “Peg-chan?”
Ryou shrugged and took the cap back. The man shrugged. “Peg-chan it is!”
****
*You know that song…”hey lemme tell ya ‘bout my best friend…” That’s what this chapter reminded e of. I really like Peg-chan and Bambi as friends.
*Raphael! You’ve hurt my beloved Pegasus! *cries*
*I PROMISE LEMON SOON!

“He was sixteen. He wanted love. I broke his heart because I saw there was no future between us. I was wrong.”
“Have you told him?”
The man shook his head. “And now with Raphael…”
“Yes?”
He smiled, closing his eyes and shaking his head. “Just a stupid feeling you know.” He laid back on the bed and exhaled. “Perhaps my parents were right. I haven’t done a thing with my life and I don’t think I ever will.”
“Well, at least you have friends!”
Pegasus laughed. “Yeah? And where are they?”
Ryou leaned over him, smiling gently. “Right here.”
Pegasus smiled back, it reached his eyes.
“Do you want some cocoa?”
“Do you want some cookies?”
Ryou nodded, giggling.
Pegasus sat up, thrusting the cap in the air. “To the kitchen Ryou-boy!”
“To the kitchen Peg-chan!”
The man stopped. “Peg-chan?”
Ryou shrugged and took the cap back. The man shrugged. “Peg-chan it is!”
