However, this remark was not enough for him, so he raised an eyebrow when he asked: "And what do you want to do now?"Since he didn't expect an immediate answer, Bakura fished out a pad and a pen and drew something out of boredom. This allowed him to wait calmly until Ryou had calmed down and continued to speak. Even if it slowly annoyed him the Ryou so easily choked his feelings.

Ryou had calmed down in the meantime and took a deep breath before continuing a bit shyly: "Gomen ... I didn't really want to start crying ... please forgive me ... I'm really embarrassed now ..." Ryou made a short Pause in which he considered what to say. Since he felt that Bakura hadn’t called him for free, he had never done that and Ryou almost forgot that Bakura was the caller. "What did you call me again about?" Ryou finally asked. He didn't want to burden Bakura with his problems longer than necessary, but it was good to have a friend like him who could just listen.

Bakura put his drawing aside before he replied, as always, in a cold and dark voice: "I still had the notebook from you in my pocket because I copied from you today.But I think I'll bring it to you by tomorrow or so because I don't want to bother you crying. "Bakura was aware that he had just injured Ryou, but he wasn't exactly sure if Ryou was really injured or if he was just imagining it.

But Bakura was wrong because he really hurt Ryou. He hated it when he needed comfort and Bakura was just cold and dismissive to him. >> He doesn't really care about me. << was his thought when he started to speak again, but he could not completely suppress his grief: "No, no .. I've calmed myself down again ... you can bring it up right away"

Bakura naturally heard Ryou's sadness, which surprised him a little, so he asked again: "Are you sure about that too?" Ryou kept delighting him. Because no matter how mean and nasty Bakura was to him, Ryou took everything and didn't show anything. That ryou cried later, Bakura knew only too well, but others would cry instantly.That was the fact that Bakura liked most about Ryou.

A little hesitantly but with a happy voice Ryou finally asked: "Yes ... when are you coming?" He was very happy that Bakura wanted to come over. In general, he liked the bigger one, even if it was always cold and unwelcoming. How did you say so beautifully? Hard shell soft core. Ryou only had to find the said soft core, even though he knew that this could be very difficult. Still, Ryou wasn't willing to give up hope.

"If you want, I'll be on my way right now," said Bakura finally, grinning into his phone. It was by no means a malicious grin, rather Bakura indicated with the grin that he liked Ryou's current behavior. Sad at first but strong again shortly afterwards. He heard a "Yeah sure", from Ryou before with the words: "Okay, well then, ciao, see you soon", hung up without waiting what Ryou answered. He grabbed Ryou's notebook and pulled on his black leather coat, which contained both his key and his cell phone.Before he left, however, he looked again at the drawing. It was good, very good in fact, but Bakura`s face darkened a little before he crumpled up the drawing and threw it in the wastebasket. With the words: "That can't be true", he then left his apartment.

Meanwhile, Ryou dived nervously and impatiently through his apartment, the phone still in his hand. Finally he put the phone down on the kitchen table and quickly changed. He didn't know why he was doing this, which is why he got a little red around the nose. A few minutes later the doorbell rang whereupon Ryou`s heart started beating rapidly. Ryou quickly hurried to the door and opened it to his larger likeness. "Hi ... hi Bakura", he stuttered slightly as he asked Bakura in: "Come on in."

Bakura just looked at Ryou strangely and wondered why Ryou was so red in the face. His first thought was that Ryou had a fever but then he wondered how upset Ryou had been when he called him.So he pushed the blush of his grief and entered Ryou`s apartment. "Oh yes, here is your notebook," Bakura said quickly and put his notebook into Ryou's hand, trying to smile at it. "It even remained intact."

"Yikes," said Ryou surprised and looked at the notebook in his hands with a similar look. >> Now I've also forgotten that he actually only came here to just give me my notebook ... Ryou ... you're really bumbling << Ryou thought as he thought about what he should do now. Finally he asked his larger likeness if he wanted to stay: "Thank you ... um ... would you like to stay a little longer?"
Ryou didn't have to wait long for an answer, because Bakura's answer came without him having to think about it and with Bakura's version of a smile: "Of course, since I have nothing to do anyway, it would be nonsense if I just left now."

Ryou smiled immediately, glad that Bakura would stay a little longer.The host asked Ryou straight away: "Would you like something to drink or something to eat?" while pulling Bakura towards the kitchen. With his usual voice, Bakura immediately asked for a Coke, which made Ryou giggle slightly. With an almost sweet smile on his face, Ryou got a bottle of the drink from the fridge, grabbed a glass from a cupboard and poured something for Bakura. Then Ryou handed his friend the glass which Bakura accepted with a smile.
Only when Bakura started to empty his glass with his free hand, Ryou noticed that he was still holding Bakura`s hand and quickly let go of it.

Even before Bakura emptied his glass he laughed out loud, but this situation was too funny. Only then did he empty his glass in one gulp. Ryou himself got an orange juice from the fridge and Bakura watched every single movement of the smaller one. Even as he drank he watched him, but his watch quickly became a regular pattern.When Ryou drained his orange juice since he had emptied it, he set his glass down on the kitchen table. He felt he was being watched and when he looked over at Bakura his feeling was confirmed. But he wondered if Bakura had been watching him all the time or not. It was definitely not Bakura's way of doing that. A little puzzled, Ryou looked at the bigger one when he asked: "Is something Bakura?"

Bakura didn't take his time with his answer and immediately replied: “No, it's nothing.” Bakura narrowed his eyes, which made them appear half-closed, and after a short pause continued: “Why are you asking Ryou?” His eyes became more urgent and he didn't even blink an eyelash. He couldn't because the sight that was presented to him was too beautiful.

Ryou felt the same, too, he couldn't avert his gaze. But for him it was the other's gaze. That look just made him shudder and made his heart beat like mad.In addition, his body temperature increased significantly, which he quickly noticed by the fact that he was getting unusually hot. A little ashamed, Ryou shook his head after a while and slipped past Bakura. "I ... um ... forgot to turn off the washing machine," and inwardly gave himself a peck in the head. >> You probably couldn't think of a more stupid excuse Ryou << he scolded himself and immediately disappeared behind the next corner of the room.

As soon as Ryou was gone, Bakura sighed, regretting that Ryou had disappeared from his field of vision. Not knowing what to do without Ryou, he went into the living room and grabbed one of the TV guides and looked at what was on TV tonight. He soon found what he was looking for, because today the film "Psycho" was shown, a somewhat older film that Bakura had always wanted to see. "I'll watch it today," whispered Bakura to himself as he remembered the program in which the film was shown today.When Ryou came back he first had to look for Bakura but he quickly found him in the living room with a newspaper in his hand. Curiously, Ryou stood behind Bakura and looked over the shoulders of the taller one when he asked softly: "What are you doing there?"

At that very moment Bakura felt cold as ice. In a flash he turned to the person behind him and for half a second he saw another person there, but quickly realized that it was only Ryou. Bakura immediately calmed down and resolved to take better care of his surroundings.

Ryou, meanwhile, just looked at Bakura in amazement. He had expected a casual line from Bakura, but Bakura was unusually quiet. In addition, Ryou said he saw fear in Bakura's eyes for a split second, but quickly write this off as an illusion. Finally the silence became too oppressive for him and asked worried: "Are you okay Bakura?"

Bakura only now noticed that he hadn't answered Ryou, so he waved him off: "Yeah, everything is fine.I was just wondering that you've been sneaking up behind me lately. "This was followed by a long silence because Ryou did not know how to react to Bakura's answer. But finally Bakura broke the silence:" Tell me, Ryou, can it be that you don't like being home alone? Especially in such weather? "Bakura pointed outside where the sky had already darkened. Just in time for Bakura's remark it started to rain and the wind whipped the rain against the window. Shortly afterwards the first lightning bolt pierced the cloud cover and as the next one heard the rumble of thunder.

Ryou couldn't help it and was terribly frightened, his heartbeat stopped for a moment and he clung to Bakura's neck from one moment to the next. Ryou hated thunderstorms, in fact he was just terrified of thunderstorms. Another bolt of lightning flashed through the sky and Ryou pressed closer to Bakura's chest. The only thing he still felt was the warmth he felt now.Bakura was too scared to react at first, but then he pushed the smaller one roughly away from him and yelled: "What the hell is the point." Disgusted, he looked at the smaller one and mumbled a few contemptuous words before he growled towards the front door.

Ryou reacted immediately and grabbed Bakura's wrist to stop him. "I ... I'm sorry Bakura," Ryou mumbled, head bowed. He didn't want
