Ryou Bakura (Yugioh)

You were walking through the town, quite aimlessly at that. You scanned lazily at the shop windows and just kept to your thoughts. You soon found yourself in front of a coffee shop and you take this chance to confront the emotions flowing through your mind. Entering the shop, you place an order at the counter and take a seat in the back.  Moments pass by when you feel someone place their hand on your shoulder. You jolt in surprise and turn around to see a white haired boy looking at you with concern.

"Oh Ryou, you scared me," you state nervously.

"I'm sorry," he chuckles. "I didn't mean to, you just seem so out of it."

You were about to speak when your name was called by the barista at the counter. Holding the thought, you walk over to the counter and thank the woman for your drink before going back to Ryou.

"Are you okay, (Y/n)? I haven't seen you in awhile." Ryou asks.

"I've been fine Ryou, really. Thank you for caring, but you don't have to worry about me." You replied, taking a sip of your drink.

Ryou and you stayed at the shop for another 20 minutes, talking about every little thing that came to mind. After you finished your drink, he invited you over to his place. On your walk his Millennium Ring caught your eye.

"How has he been treating you?" You whisper softly, hoping he wouldn't hear you.

His gentle brown eyes turned their attention towards your concerned (e/c) ones.

He cocked his head slightly, inquiring you. "What was that?"

"Huh! Oh ummm," you stuttered. "You weren't supposed to hear that."

You let out a nervous laugh and rub the back of your head. Opening your eyes you give him a serious look.

"Seriously though Ryou," you rasp. "How has Bakura been treating you?"

He hesitated before his response came, "Good, I guess."

A smile was plastered on his face, but you knew it was fake. You purse your lips together, before closing your eyes and letting out a sigh. When you open your eyes you realize you are in front of Ryou's apartment. You smile at him before you both entered the building.

You had spent most of your day at Ryou's place, and it was around 3'o'clock in the afternoon. Looking out the window you could see storm clouds gathering.

"I should probably get going." You say.

"Do you have to?" Ryou pouts.

You giggle slightly at his reaction and roll your eyes.

"Yes I have to," you laugh. "Unless you have a good reason for me to stay."

He cocks his eyebrow at you and gives you a mischievous smile.

"Well for one," he starts. "It's raining, and two, you could stay and play in the rain with me!"

He runs over to you, scooping you up in his arms, before bolting out the door and into the rain. You're in a fit of laughter as he puts you down on the ground. Looking up at him you could see a small blush on his face.

"C'mon Ryou!" You squeal.

You run around and dance in the rain, letting the small droplets soak you to the bone. Ryou watched afar with a smile on his face, seeing you so carefree. Turning around you smirk before grabbing his arm and pulling him along with you.

"(Y-y/n) I don't dance, and I don't want to get sick." He exclaims shyly.

"It was your idea!" You state.

Eventually you get the shy albino to at the least chase you around a little, of course this took you having to resort to tag, in all seriousness though you got him to enjoy the time. Currently, you were hiding behind a tree, as you two were playing hide n seek. Giggling you look out from behind the tree to see if you could find the white haired teen. Not seeing him in sight, you chuckle before turning around.

A yelp escapes your lips as you come face to face with Ryou.

"Ryou!" You whine, "You scared me!"

"Sorry," he whispers.

"Are you okay?" You blink.

It was still raining, though only drizzling. You looked at Ryou, seeing his hair clinging to his face and his clothes soaked through with the rain.

"Are you cold, Ryou?"

"I'm fine, (Y/n)?"

"Yes Ryou?"

"I love you..."

"I love you too Ryou, but are you sure you're okay?"

He blinks at you, his gaze so serious compared to his usual gentle gaze. He places his palms against the tree on both sides of you and he rests his forehead against yours.

"We've known each other for so long now," he starts. "And at first I didn't want to admit it because I-I thought it was just a phase, I guess. Besides... you're my best friend, I wouldn't want anything to change that. But now I know, it's not just all in the moment. I love you... your imperfections, your goofy side, your serious moments, your infectious laugh, and so much more. You've been my best friend since the begining, and even with all that Bakura does you stay. Why? I'm a monster..."

His eyes welled up with tears and he buried his face in your neck as he let out soft sobs.

"You've always been there, you really have been, and soon I started falling in love with you. But I couldn't let anything happen because he might hurt you." He continued, "He might hurt you and I can't let him take away all that I have left."

You looked at the fragile teen in front of you.

"R-Ryou I-," you didn't finish.

His arms wrapped around your waist and you returned the embrace, both of you falling to the ground. He cried into your shoulder as you stroked his hair, comforting him.

"Shhh," you whisper. "Ryou, I'll always be here for you. No matter what he does, it's his actions, not yours. You will always be the Ryou I know and love."

You placed a kiss on his head before letting out a soft laugh.

He sniffed, "Why are you laughing?"

"So much for hide n seek," you chuckled.

"Technically I won," he mumbled.

Both of you burst out laughing before heading back to his apartment to dry off. He offered to let you spend the night and you took up on it. It was around midnight when he had fallen asleep. You smile at his sleeping figure in his bed, before walking over and placing a soft peck on his check. His eyes fluttered open, staring at your blushing figure.

"Wh-why do you always have to ruin my plans?!" You stammer.

He blushed before pulling you towards him gently and placing a small peck on your lips. You were then pulled on to the mattress where he snaked his arms around your waist.

"I love you," he mumbled softly before dozing off.

"I love you too, Ryou."
