Warnings: It's September, so I'm rather heavily medicated. That counts as a warning because it
might affect my writing. If this chapter doesn't make sense, that would be the cause. Also, this is
AU so any OOC is done intentionally. I don't know Japanese inheritance and family law and I was
unable to find the kind of accurate information I needed. So, since I do know my home state's
law, I used that. Sorry if that bothers you. Finally, as stated before, this story contains yaoi.
Consider yourself officially warned.

Winter came early that year, burying the city in a layer of white; trapping what had been left of
nature under it's icy skin. The cold seemed to make everything slow down. Cars decelerated to
avoid sliding, people were sluggish getting out of bed in the morning, and it seemed to take
forever to warm up again once you were exposed to the biting winds. Teachers were quick to
take advantage of the weather. Knowing their students would be spending more time indoors,
they felt obligated to give them something to do. And so, Jounouchi found himself with twice as
much homework as he sat at Ryou's kitchen table staring at a hated math problem, as though
doing so would cause the answer to magically appear.
Ryou sat across from him, his hair a white flame against the black shirt he was wearing. He was
chewing pensively on the middle of his pencil while his fingers danced across the numbers on the
calculator in front of him. His left hand held the source of his current frustration, and he looked
about ready to crumple the sheet of paper and set it ablaze.
"This is hopeless." Jounouchi slammed his math book shut, the sound slicing through the silence.
Ryou glanced up from his task to see Jounouchi staring at him. He flushed slightly, always
uncomfortable being the center of attention, a childish habit he had never quite outgrown.
"Wanna trade?"
Jounouchi seemed to consider the offer for a moment, before risingm him his chair and heading
over to the fridge.
"Why trade one evil for another? It's easier to just quit altogether." Finding the Orange Juice, he
removed the cap and took a swig. Replacing the carton on the shelf, he shut the door and leaned
back to watch Ryou.
To anyone else's eye it would seem that Ryou was battling the same demon he had just
surrendered to: Algebra. Jounouchi's amber orbs saw the truth though. Ryou was trying to figure
out how to pay the bills that month. Math nonetheless, but of a much more real and important
sort. There was no real consequence to not being able to solve for X; fail to pay the electric bill
and you'd find yourself sitting in the dark.
Ryou had grown up a lot in the last four months, and not necessarily by choice. The reading of his
father's will had proved to be the changing point. His father had left instructions for Ryou to get
the house, and his brother Lee was the beneficiary on his life insurance. The rest of his estate was
to be split equally between his brother and his son. Ryou's half was to be put into a trust fund until
he was twenty-one, allowing him up to $300 a month. Lee was also to be given guardianship of
the teen. That news hit Ryou like a right hook to the jaw.
He had returned from the lawyer's office in a panic, muttering about having to move across the
country to live with his uncle, swearing that he wouldn't leave his father's house, and occasionally
throwing in a light curse or two. When the pale teen had calmed enough to explain the situation
to Jounouchi, he had done the only thing he could think of; Jounouchi called Mai.
His instincts paid off. The buxom blonde had shown them the trap door that led to freedom. She
explained that all Ryou needed to do was file for emancipation. The courts would declare him a
legal adult, and he'd be able to live in Domino or anywhere else he happened to choose.
Proclaiming her a goddess, Jounouchi had hung up and gone to tell Ryou the good news.
The actual emancipation hadn't been that hard, Ryou had managed to convince his uncle not to
contest it, and he'd easily found people to write affidavits on his behalf. His job at the local
restaurant, Hannah's, plus the trust fund money was found to be sufficient income, and the
emancipation was granted. Ryou failed to mention at the hearing that he had every intention of
keeping the house, for while his income was sufficient for a teen living in an apartment, it wasn't
enough to pay the mortgage on a house and all the monthly bills.
By September, just after his seventeenth birthday, the estate had been settled. After paying off the
debts, taxes, funeral costs, and any other necessary expenses, there was $44,000(archeology didn't
pay well unless you managed to unearth priceless treasures after all) left to be split between Ryou
and his Uncle. Everyone had assumed Ryou would sell the house to pay off the mortgage and
support himself for awhile. Instead the teen had summoned all his resolve and quiet charisma and
in a feat that some considered a miracle, convinced the bank to let him take over the mortgage. So
far he hadn't missed a single payment, but the stress of everything was taking a toll on him. He
went to school all day and then headed over to Hannah's for a 4-10 shift. He also worked
Saturdays from 4-midnight with only Sundays off. p>Afp>After seeing the bills the first month, Ryou had quickly realized he couldn't afford to keep the
house by himself. Jounouchi had quickly volunteered to move in and split the expenses. It seemed
logical after all. If his boyfriend was going to have a roommate, it might as well be him. He had a
job and would be turning eighteen in January. Not to mention he was more than willing to
contribute to paying the bills if it meant Ryou wouldn't have to lose his childhood home.
Jounouchi's dad didn't care as long as he got to keep the child support checks that came from his
ex-wife; a stipulation that Jounouchi had easily agreed to in order to gain a semblance of freedom.
Watching Ryou run the numbers again it occurred to the blond that perhaps they couldn't afford
to keep this up. They were both working themselves ragged. They barely got to see each other
anymore, and they were barely paying the bills. The house was stocked with Orange Juice and
Ramen Noodles because it was all they could afford. Between the two of them they were only
bringing in a little over a grand a month, not including the $300 from the trust fund. No one
could live on only $12,000 a year, at least not at the level the two teens wanted. The bills were
close to fifteen hundred a month as it was.
Jounouchi couldn't refrain from ruffling Ryou's hair as he passed him on the way to the living
room. Deep in thought, Ryou just swatted his hand away and returned to crunching the numbers.
He was determined to find a way to pay the water bill and the electric bill. Now that Domino was
doing it's impression of the arctic, the heat was constantly running and that was costing them
more. Ryou knew what needed to be done, he just hated having to do it.

Ryou parked a few rows back from the front of the pawn shop. It was part of the strip mall,
nestled cautiously between a Target and Payless Shoes. The air inside the shop was thick and
difficult to breathe. It served to remind you that you were only here because you had to be.
The man behind the counter seemed surprised to see Ryou when he looked up. The majority of
his customers were ex-cons and felons. Sure the occasional rich kid came in to pawn mommy's
jewelry, but such cases were the exception not the rule. The pale teen in front of him seemed
completely out of place in the seedy environment.
"Can I help you kid?"
Ryou fought the urge to bolt and placed his backpack up on the counter. Unzipping it, he pulled it
open and faced it towards the clerk.
"How much can I get for these?"
The clerk, his tag said his name was Randy, reached out a calloused hand to quickly sort through
the items. A camcorder, two discmans, a laptop, and a Ziplock bag with three necklaces in it.
Laying the items out in a line he quickly examined them for any damage and authenticity.
"Are you pawning or selling?"
"Can I get more money if I sell?"
"Yes."
Ryou considered this for a moment. He hated even letting the items out of his possession, but he
needed the cash. If he could get more selling them...
"I'll sell everything but the jewelry." The other items had all been his father's, none of them
keepsakes, and he never used them, but the jewelry had been his mother's and he just couldn't get
rid of it. He already had so little to remember her by.
"I'll give you $70 for the camcorder, $15 for the discmans, and $400 for the laptop."
Ryou blinked."I'm sorry sir, but those items cost a lot more than that. We just bought that laptop
a year and a half ago." Ryou's voice sounded timid even to his own ears. It was just that he really
didn't want to argue with Randy, as he looked like half the people on the Ten Most Wanted List
he hadn onn once at the post-office, but he also didn't want to get ripped off.
"Look kid it doesn't matter how much you paid for them. We go by how much we can sell them
for. Now I'll give you $485 for the lot, take it or leave it."
Ryou sighed in defeat. "Fine."
"Now about the jewelry. It's real, so I'll go as high as $80 for those. Deal?"
What choice did he have?"Yeah."
Ryou waited while Randy filled out his receipt, handing over his I.D. when necessary, and then
took the $565. As Ryou walked back out to Jounouchi's car he promised himself that he would
pay the loan off in 120 days in order to get his mom's jewelry back.

Jounouchi never asked where Ryou got the extra money from, but he did notice that things
around the house had started disappearing. Even he could figure out what was going on. Ryou
obviously didn't want to talk about it since he was doing it secretly, so Jounouchi just let it slide.
That's how things went for awhile. They both worked their butts off and Ryou sold off his father's
property to make up the difference. At the start of the summer such a life would have been
unimaginable, but Ryou's father's death had lurked ahead, like an undetected land mine. Even
now, Ryou felt like he was living someone else's life. That any day now the universe was going to
realize it had made a mistake and return his father to him.
But time just kept moving forward.

In February, they met the man who would forever change their lives. The one who would drag
them into the depths of hell and put everything they believed in to the test. It was in February that
they met Leland Markus.
Leland. When he first appeared, he seemed so insignificant. Someone Ryou met at work. As
always, he just took the man's order and brought him his food. It was towards the end of his shift,
and Jounouchi was waiting for him at an empty table.
As he dropped off his last bill of the evening, the man at the table introduced himself. "Leland
Markus. The service has been excellent tonight. You can certainly expect a big tip." He wasn't
necessarily an attractive man, his features were too sharp for that, but he wasn't heinously ugly
either. He was just plain. His brown hair was shoulder length and pulled back into a neat ponytail
at the nape of his neck. His eyes were the same color of brown and seemed to be just a bit too
small. Or perhaps his forehead was just too big. Either way, he just didn't stand out.
"Thank you." Ryou handed him the check with out even looking at him.
Ryou turned to leave but Leland grabbed his wrist. "I'll just pay this now if you don't mind."
Ryou had finally looked at his customer when he felt the larger hand enclose his wrist, halting him
in his tracks. Their eyes met for just a moment before Leland released him and pulled out his
credit card. Ryou took the piece of plastic, and quickly went to charge it.
When he came back, Leland was standing beside the table. Ryou returned the card and handed
him the receipt to sign. Using a pen he Pulled out of his pocket, Leland quickly signed and then
kept his copy. As he handed the other copy to Ryou, he also handed him a $50.
"What are you doing after your shift?"
Ryou was startled by the large tip, but tried his best to hide it. "I'm busy."
Leland leaned in a little closer. "And after that?"
"You ready to go Ryou?"
Leland looked up to see a blond standing behind Ryou. His arms were crossed over his chest, and
his narrowed eyes were trained on Leland.
"Yeah, I just have to grab my coat from the back and punch out." Ryou stepped away from the
older man and headed into the back of the restaurant, Jounouchi right behind him.

When they walked into the house, Ryou was in a fit of giggles resulting from a joke Jounouchi
had told him on the ride home. He wasn't quite sure what he found so funny about a gay rooster,
but he was laughing so hard his eyes were watering.
By the time they had managed to remove their shoes and hang up their coats, the smaller teen had
finally got himself under control.
Jounouchi smirked. "I thought you might like that joke. I just wasn't aware it would become the
be all and end all of everything funny."
Ryou gave him a playful shove as he headed down the hallway to their bedroom. "I need to
change, can you make me stea?tea?"
"Yeah, I think I can handle that. Are you sure you don't want me to help you change though?" He
gave his boyfriend a suggestive look.
Ryou didn't even turn around to answer. "I said change, not strip." Still, he left the bedroom door
open.
Hmm...tea or boyfriend?
Jounouchi followed Ryou down the hall.
The younger teen was already stepping out of his black slacks when Jounouchi entered. As he
pressed up against his boyfriend's back, Jounouchi reached around and began unbuttoning Ryou's
white dress shirt. After he got the first three buttons undone, he slipped a hand inside and brushed
his fingertips over a nipple. Ryou arched slightly into the touch, his body craving more of the
pleasure that had jolted through him.
Jounouchi brought his hands back out and continued unbuttoning. When he had the last one
undone, he turned Ryou to face him and slowly slipped the material off his shoulders. The smaller
teen stood before his boyfriend in just his green boxers, his pale chest exposed as an offering and
his nipples hardened from the cold.
"You're beautiful." Jounouchi leaned down and pressed his lips to the supple skin of Ryou's
mouth. As those lips parted to let him in, he used his tongue to deepen the kiss. He tasted Ryou,
his lips, his tongue. They all tasted distinctly of mint; Ryou must have been sucking on
peppermints at work.
Feeling Jounouchi pull back, Ryou opened his eyes. Before he could even get them opened
though, he felt himself being lifted, arms instinctively going around the blond's neck. Jounouchi
placed him down on the queen-size bed before resuming the kiss. Ryou let go of a moan as their
tongues once again began the familiar dance. He could feel his body temperature start to rise just
as Jounouchi stepped away from him. He whimpered in protest; his body craved the heat of
Jounouchi's.
His eyes were rapidly drawn to the sight of Jounouchi pulling his sweater off. He couldn't help his
smile at the sight of his boyfriend's body; it was stunning. Jounouchi had the lean muscular build
of a gymnast and Ryou had found him to be just as flexible. He drifted off into memories of some
of their more passionate nights together, until the feel of Jounouchi's skin brought him back to the
present.
"Where'd you go?" The now naked blond asked as he began tailing kisses down Ryou's pallid
neck. Occasionally, he would nip at the skin onl soo soothe it over with his tongue in apology.
"I was just thinking about you." Gods, Jounouchi knew how to drive him wild. As his mouth
worked on his neck and ears, his hands were running along his sides and teasing the soft flesh of
his inner thigh. He didn't know which sensation to focus on, all of them tantalizing and each one
hastily turning him on.
"Nothing bad I hope." Jounouchi smirked against Ryou's skin, knowing exactly what effect his
actions were having on the teen. If he wasn't careful he was going to have a very horny and
demanding Ryou on his hands...not that it'd be such a bad thing.
Trailing his kisses lower, Jounouchi took a nipple into his mouth. With a flick of his tongue,
Ryou's head flew back and he gasped. As much as Jounouchi was enjoying himself, there was
something else he wanted to do for Ryou and he would need to do it before the boy was too far
gone.
Ryou sat up on his elbows as he felt Jounouchi once again pull away from him. He spotted the
blond at the edge of the bed with a bottle of massage oil in his hands. That seemed to be rushing
things, seeing as he was still in his boxers.
"What are you up to Katsuya?"
"Don't you trust me?" Jounouchi gave him a mock pout. "Just lay back and enjoy."
Ryou gave his boyfriend a skeptical look, but did as he was told. eardeard the sound of the bottle
top opening and then closing again, but nothing else happened. He found the anticipation of not
knowing what was about to be done to him exhilarating. He was becoming erect at just the
thought of what Jounouchi might have in store for him.
Ryou closed his eyes and let out a moan as Jounouchi began rubbing the sole of his foot. Certain
that Jounouchi wasn't going to start tickling him, he surrendered to the pleasant feeling. He had
been on his feet all day, and they were killing him. Jounouchi's hands were so gentle as his
calloused thumbs made circular motions along the entire bottom surface of the fatigued foot. As
his toes were gently rotated, Ryou could feel the tension just seep out of his body.
When Jounouchi had finished with both feet, he was quite pleased with himself. Ryou's moans and
sighs had made it quite clear that he had throughly enjoyed the foot massage. Of course, his
boyfriend's moans had not relaxed Jounouchi at all. Instead, they had left him aroused and seeking
release.
Wiping the excess massage oil off on his thighs, Jounouchi crawled back up to where Ryou was
laying. His white hair was fanned out around his face, giving the impression of a halo. While he
may have looked like an angel, Jounouchi was going to bring out the devil in him.
The relaxed but stimulated teen had kept his eyes closed as he felt Jounouchi crawl on top of him,
they snapped open when he felt the blond's hips grinding into his. The thin barrier of his boxers
wasn't enough to protect him from the sensations of Jounouchi's arousal rubbing against his own.
He hardened further, and all his thoughts focused on a singular lusty goal: release. He found
himself mesmerized by Jounouchi's fingers running along the dark green waistband of his boxers,
and he instinctively lifted his hips so the blond could remove the hindrance.
With Ryou now naked below him, Jounouchi picked up where he had left off before. Taking a
nipple into his mouth, he swirled his tongue around it once. Hands tangled in his hair as he began
to suckle on the peak. Ryou wriggled beneath him and, trailing his tongue across the pale chest,
he took the other nipple into his mouth. This time he bit down before soothing the area with his
tongue. He heard a hiss at the sharp pain, but it quickly turned to a pleasurable moan. Ryou
bucked his hips trying to get Jounouchi to resume his attentions to his lower body, but the blond
just moved his hips away.
As he felt Jounouchi's tongue heading back over to his other nipple for the third time, it occurred
to Ryou that his boyfriend was just teasing him. Unacceptable. Sliding his hands down to
Jounouchi's shoulders he gathered his strength to flip their positions. Looking down at the smiling
blond he kissed the tip of his nose.
"So you want to tease huh?"
Jounouchi played innocent, just giving him a questioning look.
Ryou's mouth twisted into a devilish grin. "Two can play that game."
Placing his hands on his boyfriend's hips, he began trailing kisses down the well toned torso. Upon
reaching Jounouchi's navel, Ryou kissed around the opening slowly before dipping his tongue
inside. The sensation of his moist tongue inside the crevice caused Jounouchi to groan. He tried to
buck his hips, but Ryou and gravity managed to thwart his attempt.
As Ryou's mouth moved lower, he placed a kiss on the tip of Jounouchi's arousal and once again
used his weight to prevent the movement of his boyfriend's hips. Ignoring the growl, he moved
lower and began to nip and lick along Jounouchi's inner thigh.
As his erection began to ache and Ryou continued to ignore it, Jounouchi began rethink his plan.
"Ok Ryou I get it. I'm sorry, now will you get on with it?" His breathing was heavy from desire
and his skin was flushed. Ryou lifted his head up from where it had been hovering just above
Jounouchi's neglected arousal, his hot breath reminding him of what was just out of his reach.
"...please."
Ryou's tongue darted out to dip into the precum that had pooled around the slit. As he pulled
back, it moved with him. The sight of his boyfriend's tongue connected to his shaft by only a small
line of precum was an extremely erotic sight and Jounouchi whimpered in need.
Taking pity, Ryou moved back down and took the tip into his mouth. He felt Jounouchi squirm
under him, body craving more of the delicious heat his mouth offered, but he still had the
advantage here. He swirled his tongue around the tip before using that same muscle to flick
against the throbbing skin.
"Oh gods Ryou...please..."
Taking more of it into his mouth Ryou began to move up and down, mouthing the shaft. He could
feel Jounouchi start to tremble but continued his slow torture nonetheless. Maneuvering his
forearm across Jounouchi's lower abdomen, he moved his other hand to fondle his boyfriend's sac.
Jounouchi's hands released their death grip on the sheets to tangle in Ryou's hair. He was careful
not to pull on the boy's scalp, knowing such an action would only prolong the sweet torture he
was currently undergoing, or get him bitten. He so desperately wanted to come, but the decision
was entirely up to his white haired lover.
When Ryou finally provided some suction, Jounouchi didn't last long. He felt the heat that had
been building up in his stomach flow out of him and with a throaty cry he released into Ryou's
mouth. Ryou, who had sensed his boyfriend was close, pulled back enough to not choke on the
release that shot onto his waiting taste buds.
Jounouchi's head was spinning. The prolonged need to release combined with Ryou's talented
mouth was overwhelming. He felt Ryou's head resting on his stomach and he stroked the soft
white hair as he waited for his breathing to slow down.
"That was incredible Ryou."
Ryou blushed. He wasn't shy about performing sex acts, but talking about them or having to
accept compliments for them was somehow embarrassing for him. It was quite a contradiction.
He moved up to kiss Jounouchi instead of answering, allowing the blond to taste himself.
Jounouchi's hands trailed down his spine to rest on his slim hips.
"Now let's see what I can do to show my thanks." Jounouchi grinned wickedly before flipping
Ryou over onto his back and descending on the pale teen.

Five minutes early. Ryou punched into work the next day before his shift officially started. After
all, no one ever got fired for being early. He was headed out to inform the staff he was there when
he heard someone call out to him.
"Ryou! Hey Ryou wait up."
Ryou turned to see Brenda, one of the waitresses, heading towards him. The redhead was digging
for something in her purse and when she got close enough she shoved an envelope at him. He saw
his name written on the front in red ink.
"A customer of mine was looking for you this morning. I told him you weren't scheduled until this
afternoon so he left this. Asked me to give it to you."
"Thank you." Ryou took the envelope and was about to open it when he noticed Brenda was still
standing there. "Oh I'm sorry, was there something else?"
Brenda seemed to think about this for a moment. "It's just that he seemed a little old for you. He
must have been in his late twenties at least. Besides, I thought you were dating that blond fellow I
always see you with."
Why did people have to be so nosey? "I don't even know who this letter is from, let alone what it's
about Brenda," he explained. He was trying to be polite, but the thought of Brenda and the other
waitresses gossiping about him was irritating. Not to mention embarrassing.
"Well, that's true. He did seem awful disappointed that you weren't here though." She just stood
there looking at him for awhile as though she expected him to open the note and read it aloud to
her. Ryou just fidgeted under her gaze, trying his best to keep smiling. "Anyway, my shift is over
and I need to get home. See you later."
"Goodbye, and thank you for getting this to me." When she was out of sight, Ryou opened the
envelope. Unfolding the piece of paper contained within he read over the three lines of scribbled
writing.
Ryou Bakura,
I just wanted to apologize for last night. I didn't realize your boyfriend was there. You should
have just told me. I feel as though I was terribly rude to you after you did such a wonderful job as
my waiter. Please except my apology.
Leland Markus

It took a moment for the name to register. Brenda was right, he was definitely too old for him. He
crumpled up the note and tossed it in the trash. Ryou started his shift never giving any of it a
second thought. He couldn't see the monster laying in wait for him.

A/N: Wow, it turns out I'm a liar. Last time I said this chapter would cover the lawyers visit, but
as I was writing this I realized how long this story could end up if I didn't skip ahead. So now
we're a few months later and our poor boys are living together and are barely getting by ::sniffle::
I guess one of them will have to find a new way to make cash... I was going to post this
Saturday, but rehearsals ran late and I still needed to do some editing. I hope I caught all the
mistakes; by the end things were getting kind of blurry. Anyway, I have no idea what's coming
next so anything I told you would probably just be a lie.
