The second life

Chapter 4: The day after

Amane was really happy that she was back at home. Her plane was late so she had to wait for almost fourteen hours to get back to Japan. She called Ryou about it and she could say he wasn’t too happy for it. It was clear in his voice. With a deep sigh she paid for the taxi and opened the door to her house. Half past six in the morning. What a great return to home. Deep in her thoughts about her conversation with father Charles she almost tripped over someone’s shoes.
//Bakura is here? Well, it’s not that I mind. //
Amane shrugged and walked into the first floor. As usual she went first check on her brother. It was something she was doing since he was six. As quietly as she could Amane opened the door into Ryou’s bedroom and was left speechless.
Her sweet little brother was sleeping in Bakura’s arms both of them naked. Amane didn’t get her science qualification because she was stupid. She definitely wasn’t an idiot and she knew immediately what happened between them. For a moment she simply watched them from the door. A smile appeared on her lips. Tip toed, Amane went to them and pulled the blanked up so they wouldn’t be cold. With the same smile she left.
It was so long since she saw such a sincere look on Ryou’s face. It was priceless to her. Amane closed the door with a soft click and walked to the kitchen. It was Thursday and Ryou’s alarm clock will ring soon. She started making breakfast for both of them. The smile was on her face for the whole time.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Damn that stupid thing! Cursed Bakura when he stopped the annoying ringing. To his relieve it didn’t wake Ryou up. With a smirk he noticed the look at the boy’s face and his obvious exhaustion. He gently kissed Ryou’s lips and let the blanked slipped from his body. With a frown he was thinking when Ryou woke up and pulled it up over them. Then he heard a noise in the kitchen and his eyes widened.
Amane!
Bakura moaned and quickly got up. Now he was in very deep shit with his friend and it didn’t make him feel very well. After he was dressed he silently left Ryou’s room. It was probably better if he talked to Amane as soon as possible. Bakura knew that Amane was very collected person but knowing that her precious brother was sleeping with her best friend could easily shake with her.
When he entered the kitchen he found her still in her suit and apron making breakfast. It was quite amazing that even during making breakfast she could be in suit and don’t make herself dirty. To be honest Bakura couldn’t do that even if his life depended on it.
“Good morning, Bakura! Sleep well?”
Bakura dropped his jaw when he heard it. He wasn’t sure if she knew or not but he didn’t want to hide anything before her. Especially something so important.
“Amane …”
“To save you your breath; yes I know! And I don’t mind!” she turned to him and found him completely speechless. With a wide smile she laid on the table a plate and motioned toward it.
“I know you Bakura. I know you wouldn’t hurt him. I really love my brother. After all he is my only family but I’m not responsible for his feelings. If he loves you back I can hardly do anything about it.”
Bakura sat down to the table and looked at her little confused. “You are pretty sure about my feelings!” it was a hidden question. He didn’t know how could she know about it.
“I’m not an idiot, Bakura! It was quite clear. You are not such a good pretender when it comes on your emotions.” Her smile softened a bit. “Your eyes always betray you. The only thing I’m not sure about is how long?”
“Do you mean; how long I love him or how long I fuck him?”
“Both!”
Bakura sighed and ran his hand through his white hair. He thought about the first question for a while. The other one was easy since the last night was their first time.
“I guess it’s from the beginning.” He said slowly. “Since I first saw him I fell for him and didn’t even notice. Amane I mean it when I say it! You know me. I’m fucking not the type for any kind of serious relationship but with Ryou it’s different. I don’t want to let him go no matter what.”
“And my second question?” the grin on his face was an answer as well.
“Well, let’s say that it was a special night.”
“You are such a jerk sometimes!” with a giggling Amane finished the breakfast for her and Ryou. It didn’t take long and her brother appeared in the kitchen. His obvious embarrassing was kind of cute. He was avoiding to Bakura’s eyes his gaze constantly switching between his sister and lover.
“Good morning. Ehmm, sis …”
“Sit down and eat! You need it. Well, maybe not since you are a guy and can’t get pregnant.” She said thoughtfully and Bakura started choking on the eggs. Ryou’s face turned brightly red and his eyes widened. Bakura put himself together and with one swift motion he pulled Ryou on his lap.
“Forget her, she is just jealous!” he softly whispered to Ryou and smiled. The smaller boy hid his face in Bakura’s chest.
“Amane, that was mean!” he whimpered without looking at any of them. Bakura kissed his head and wrapped his arms around him.
“Yep, but I guess it’s just like her, right?” he could easily feel Ryou’s smile.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
After the breakfast Amane left for her work much to the disappointment and disagree of her brother and Bakura. She ignored them both and called for taxi. When she was gone Ryou ask Bakura sit next to him on the sofa so he could talk to him.
“’Kura, about the last night … I … well… I mean…” Ryou bite his lip thinking how to say it. Bakura was scared out of his mind that he would tell him that it meant nothing. So they should forget it.
“I really like you. No, I love you, ‘Kura, but if you don’t feel the same way it’s okay! I know that I was acting weird yesterday … I mean this morning. So if we did it just because you felt sorry for me, it’s okay. I understand.” Ryou turned his eyes down so he didn’t have to look into Bakura’s eyes. In spite of what he was saying there were silent tears on his cheek telling the truth. Bakura smiled. He took him into his arms and kissed the tears away.
“It’s really funny because I love you too. Ryou, I would never fuck anyone just because I felt sorry for him or her. It’s not fucking fair and in the end it hurts more than rejection. Don’t worry. Now when I have you I will never let you go!”
Ryou smiled and nodded. He felt really happy.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Amane was in her office humming some unknown song. She felt good because of Ryou and Bakura. It was really good that Ryou found someone who will take care of his body as well as his heart. She truly trusted Bakura with this. With a smile she started go through the files piled on her desk. Amane was in the middle of throwing out useless thing when her phone started ringing. With a deep sigh she pick it up.
“Hello?”
“Hello, Amane-chan! How are you doing!” a malicious voice sounded from the phone.
Amane dropped the phone in pure shock. It was the voice of the person she hoped to forget. The only person she wished to never see again.
It was voice of the person who hurt Ryou.
Her whisper was like a wind above a graveyard.
“Marik!”
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
