Another Love Story

Well, well, well.
Contrary to my original plan, this next
chapter is Ryou's.

Oh, and a special chapter will be written
on request for the reader that can tell me
what all of my chapter titles have in common.

DISCLAIMER: I want to f**k Bakura like an animal, so it's
probably a good thing Yu Gi Oh is not mine.

Chapter 4 - Sodomy and Lust - Ryou POV

/Malik.... hmm.... who could Bakura be talking about?/
I shifted my weight to my other foot. This wasn't fun.
If I wasn't so hung up on Duke, I would've left a long time ago.
But just looking at him there, over the other side of the room.
All alone.
His head buried in a book, his long legs tucked up under him.
I was mesmerised. He was so beautiful.
I'd been watching him for around half an hour now. He hadn't
moved.

Duke's long dark hair was driving me insane. I wanted so
badly to go over to him and run my fingers through it.
/This is getting me nowhere.../
"You really should go and talk to him..." Bakura purred in my ear.
"I can't....." I replied, not at all surprised that he was there.
"You can." he said firmly, pushing me in the door.

Duke looked up.
"Ryou..." he said, smiling.
"Hey. Uh... having fun?" I asked.
/lame, lame, lame.../
He made a face.
"Kaiba's parties are never really my thing. Yami keeps insisting
that I tag along. Though he knows I never enjoy myself." he replied.
"Thats too bad.." I said.
Duke shrugged.
"Usually people just let me be." he stated.
I bit my lip.
"Oh, well then, i'll go...." I mumbled.
"Oh, no Ryou. I didn't mean that. Please stay." he said hurriedly.
I looked at him from under my fringe.
"What are you reading?" I asked.
"Empire of the sun..." Duke said, grinning.
"Oh really? Wow. We had to read that back in high school
for chinese history..." I gushed.
/shut up, shut up, shut up!/

"I know. I was in your class." Duke replied. "But how could I
expect someone like you to notice someone like me back then."
"Whats that supposed to mean?" I asked, sitting down on the
window ledge.
"Oh come on Ryou, you were the most popular guy in
school." Duke laughed.
I blushed.
"Not that it matters I guess. It's not like we're still
at that god forsaken place." he continued.
I nodded.
"Now that I think about it, I haven't seen you in
a while... What have you been doing?" Duke asked me.
"I moved in with Bakura a while back." I replied.
"Hows that going?" he said.
I shrugged.
"It's ok. It's awfully quiet alot of the time.
Bakura's always out clubbing with people." I stated.
"You don't go with him?" Duke asked.
I shook my head.
"It doesn't really interest me. I'd rather stay home
and write." I said.
"What do you write?" Duke continued.
"Songs mostly, though some poetry. I tried
writing a novel but that didn't work out." I said.
/What am I doing? Shut up Ryou!/
"Do you play an instrument?" Duke asked.
"Guitar, and I sing. Though I don't like to sing my
own songs. They make me sad. I always write
from the heart." I said.
/blah, blah, blah..... say something interesting.../

Duke smiled.
"You're awfully quiet... what are you thinking?" he asked.
"N-nothing.." I replied, blushing again.
"You're so shy!" Duke laughed.
I shrugged.
"You're nothing like I remember you..." he continued.
"Is that a bad thing?" I asked in reply.
Duke shook his head.
"Not at all. Though if someone had told me a year ago that
i'd be sitting here talking to you I would never
have believed them." he stated.
"Was I that bad back then?" I replied.
"Yes. You were." Duke told me.
He laughed.
"You wanna know something stupid though..." he asked me.
I looked at him.
"I had a crush on you, for the longest time. You
were an obsession to me. I'd watch you every day,
just laughing and joking with your friends......" he said,
smiling sheepishly.

/What do I say to that?/
"Stupid huh?" Duke stated.
I shrugged.
"It's not so bad." I said.
Duke tucked his long hair behind one ear and looked
at me, his emerald green eyes held the strangest
expression.
"Enjoying the party?" he asked.
I nodded.
"Yeah. Kaiba's parties are always pretty good.
After i'm drunk that is." I stated.
He laughed.
"Yes, well, isn't that the point of these parties?" he replied.
"I guess. Though Kaiba's intentions have never been
very clear to me." I said.
Duke tilted his head to the side.
I shook my head.
"Don't worry. I don't know what I mean by that." I stated.

"So......." Duke sighed, looking at me.
I stood up.
"I guess i'll see you round." I said, turning and walking out.
I stood just outside the door.
/What are you doing you dick? Go back in there and kiss him!/

I spun around and strode back through the door.
Duke looked up at me. I leant down and kissed him hard
on the lips.

/I did not just do that.../

I turned and ran.
