Overdue
By Zephra85
With the aftermath of �Confessions� comes a long overdue talk between Ryou and Yami Bakura. (Warning: Shounen ai fic. Read with caution.)

It�s been nearly two weeks since that fateful day when I found love with my sweet Yugi, but my poor Yami was rejected by Yugi�s Yami. It�s made it difficult to enjoy myself with Yami in so much pain. After I comforted him in the Ring, however, he�s done and excellent job of hiding his emotions. Except that he no longer argues with the Pharaoh. I realize now that for Yami, it was a sign of affection. He doesn�t even make eye contact with him anymore, and if he does by accident, his face becomes so blank. It�s as if Yami�s looking straight through him, or that he�s not there at all. The Pharaoh shifts his gaze away awkwardly if this happens. Anyone could tell how guilty he feels about the situation, but it�s not like there�s anything anyone can do about it. But it�s not only Yami feeling horrible about the Pharaoh�s rejection that�s making it difficult for me to be happy about my love for Yugi. It�s also what happened after I came out of the Ring that day�
As I slowly regained consciousness, I turned to the Pharaoh. His eyes were downcast, and he looked so guilty.
�Pharaoh,� I started, �Why did you reject him? He told me that he thought you might have had feelings for him.�
He sighed, and leaned up against the store wall.
�I do find him attractive, that is probably what gave him that impression.�
�But, if you think he�s good looking, why don�t you just give it a try? It�s not like you have anything to lose.�
�Because it would not be fair to him.�
�Why not?�
�My heart� belongs to another.�
I felt my heart drop like dead weight. Who is it that he loves? Oh please don�t say Yugi�The Pharaoh seems to sense my thoughts and looks up at me with a soft smile on his face.
�Don�t worry, it�s not Yugi. I do love him, but not the way a lover would.�
I felt so relived, it gave me the courage to continue.
�So, who is it then? It�s not Anzu, is it?�
I can�t help but smile as he cringes.
�NO.�
�Is it Jounouchi?�
�No.�
�Is it a boy or a girl?�
��A boy.�
�Is it someone I know?�
��Yes.�
�Look, if you don�t want to tell me, that�s fine, you don�t have to. But please don�t play these guessing games with me, if you are going to tell me just-�
�It�s you.�
It took me a moment to process what he said, but when it did, I felt my blood turn into ice. I didn�t know what to say or do. My silence prompted him to continue.
�I want you to know I would never do anything to hurt Yugi, so I have no intention of acting upon these feelings. But now you can see why it would not be fair for the Thief King.�
His revelations left me so shocked, it was difficult for me to form the words of things I wanted to say.
��Is that� what you� told him?�
�You mean the Thief King? No, I didn�t even tell him that I already loved another. All I said was I did not feel that way about him.�
My legs began to feel wobbly, and I realized I should sit down. But there were no chairs around, so I managed to walk to the Kame Game shop and leaned against the wall.
�If it�s not too much trouble, I would greatly appreciate if you not mention any of this to Yugi just yet. I don�t want to upset him.�
��It�s not like you can keep something like this a secret forever, you know.�
�I know, and I do plan to discuss this with him, just not now. Would you do this for me please, Ryou?�
I manage to nod slowly.
After that, Yugi came out to see what was taking us so long. I kept my word and have told Yugi nothing of what conspired between the Pharaoh and myself. I never even told him that my Yami was rejected by his. If I had, it would have raised questions. Questions I wasn�t ready to answer.
Yami deals with his pain by practically living through me when it comes to my new relationship with Yugi. He�s always eager to hear what we did, where we went, what we talked about, how I feel about this or that, and so forth and so on. I tell him because I know that it helps ease his pain. He thinks it�s silly that we haven�t even kissed yet.
�If I were you, I would have pounced on him a long time ago.� He says with a snicker. We�re sitting on the couch in my living room, leaning against each others backs and supporting out weight by propping our feet against the arm rests.
�Well, I�m not you, thank goodness. We�re just taking it slow.� I reply.
�Slow as snails. You Japanese are so strange with your unbearable high levels of manners. You�ve been dating thirteen days and you haven�t even kissed yet! By the time you have sex you�re going to be thirty!�
�YAMI! Don�t talk about things like that so openly!�
�And that�s another thing! Anytime anyone makes the tiniest suggestion of sex you people clam up! What�s so wrong with being open?�
�What�s with you and being so open about s-sex? You act like it�s not a big deal!�
�It�s not a big deal! You like him, he likes you, so just get to the best part and FUCK already!�
�Waiii! Do you have to speak so loudly?�
�Why does it matter? There�s no one here but us.�
�Just don�t shout! And haven�t you ever heard of saving the best for last?�
Yami sighed, and lifted himself up slightly so that he could lean back and rest his head on my lap, crossing his arms so that they were underneath his head. I turn around slightly so that it�s more comfortable for him. It might seem a little strange that we�re being so cuddly, but being close to each other are what being a Yami and a Hikari is all about. If you had a Yami, you�d understand.
�Yeesh, it�s not just a Japanese thing, it�s a virgin thing. And the fact that you�re BOTH virgins just makes it that much more annoying.�
�Fuu, have you had sex with anyone since you�ve been in my body?�
�No, but what does that have to do with anything?�
�Since my body is virgin, that makes you a virgin too, silly. So you can�t make fun of us for being virgins.�
�I�m not a virgin! I�ve done it lots of times!�
�But not in my body, so all the times you�ve had sex, it doesn�t affect my body, just your memory. So that makes YOU a virgin.�
��YARRRGH!!� He yells and bolts off the couch. �Now that you�ve said that, it�s going to bug me forever if I don�t have sex with someone now!�
�Nani?!� You mean you�re just going to go out and have sex with someone?!�
�Sure, why not?�
�B-but, but� augh, you�re a pain, y�know that?� I wrap my arms around my legs and start pouting. He can be so aggravating sometimes. I hear him sigh heavily and plod towards me, plopping next to me on the couch and putting his arm around me.
�Well if bothers you THAT much, then I won�t do it.�
�It�s not that, it�s just� shouldn�t you be in love when you do things like that?�
��Oh boy, and you say I lived in ancient times��
��Yami?�
�Yeah?�
�What was your first time like?�
�I thought you said I was a virgin.�
�Fine, I�m sorry I teased you. Will you tell me?�
�� You don�t wanna know.�
�Aw, why not? Was it a man or a woman?�
�You don�t wanna know either.�
�Oh come on, please?�
�I really mean it, you don�t wanna know.�
�Does that mean you�re not going to tell me?�
�I will if you don�t shut up about it, but then after I tell you you�re going to get mad that I told you because you REALLY don�t want to know.�
�I�ll risk it, please? I thought we trusted each other now.�
��Fine. I was an orphan for as long as I could remember. I was living with my mentor, a thief who was teaching me the ways of stealing. I was thirteen when he raped me.�
�Yami� I�m so sorr-�
�Don�t worry, I got over it.�
�Well, what about your first time with a woman?�
�Are you sure you want to know that one too?�
��Yes.�
�Alright� I was fourteen. I raped a girl who was twelve.�
���
�I told you that you didn�t wanna know.�
�I�m sorry, Yami. I didn�t mean it like that.�
�It�s okay, forget about it.�
��Yami?�
�Yes?�
�Did you ever have a time when it wasn�t a bad memory for you?�
��Once.�
�Do you want to tell me about that?�
��Okay. I was twenty-five. I was stealing some riches from a wealthy and powerful man when he caught me. He told me that he would let me go if I became his lover for seven days.�
�That�s a good memory for you?�
�Yeah. I ended up having a good time with him. I felt sorry when the seven days were up, and I think he did too.�
�So why didn�t you stay together longer then?�
�Remember, Hikari, things were different back then. If you were caught being openly gay, you�d be executed. People would think you were a demon or something. And this man was very influential. If he was caught with me, he would have lost everything, it was too risky. And I couldn�t blame him.�
�Did you love him?�
�� I think I did.�
�Did he love you?�
�� I don�t know. He might have.�
��Was it the Pharaoh?�
�� You caught on quickly, didn�t you?�
�But� I know he�s only gained some of his old memories back, but I thought he remembered you, so why doesn�t he remember being with you?�
�I�m not sure. The mind works in mysterious ways. Maybe he does remember, he�s just too embarrassed to admit it.�
�Wait a minute, I thought you said you had never been with a man before.�
�I didn�t say I�ve never been with one, I said that I didn�t know how to be with one.�
�But if you have been with men before, wouldn�t you know how to?�
�Well it�s not exactly something that comes naturally to me. I�m usually awkward and nervous to start with. But once I get into it, it gets easier.�
�Yami, I�m sorry, I-�
�You say that too much. Don�t worry about it, I�m fine.�
�I just don�t want you to be upset. I would be devastated if I made you hate me again��
Yami turned around then so we were eye to eye. He reached to my face and gently lifted my chin up towards him, and smiled.
�Hikari, I could never hate you. Thanks to you, I�m a somewhat better person. You come first and foremost above everything else.� He kissed my forehead after he spoke those words. I was so shocked by his display of emotion, I was overjoyed. I kissed him on the cheek.
�I love you, Yami. Thank-you for being my friend.� I hugged him. He hugged me back.
�I�m more than just your friend. I�m your Yami, and you are my Hikari. It�s my duty to protect you. I know I�ve been a lousy protector up until recently, but I�m going to do my damnedest to make it up to you. I love you too.�
We sat there hugging for so long, I lost all track of time. Maybe we did get off to a rough start, but I felt I was the luckiest person alive to have someone so devoted to me. I hope that I can be a good Hikari for him.
��Say, Hikari?�
�Yes Yami?�
�Weren�t you supposed to meet littleYugi at the movie theatre ten minutes ago?�
��AAAACCK!!! I�M LATE!!� I jumped up so fast I knocked Yami off the couch and he hit the hardwood floor with a thump. He was muttering curses while I dashed about franticly trying to get ready.
�OhmygodIcan�tbelieveI�msolateit�sgoingtotaketwentyminutestogettothetheatrewhatamIgoingtodoYugi�sgoingtobesoupset
WHERETHEHECKISMYOTHERSHOE?!OhthereitisI�vegotmywalletmykeysmyjacketokayI�mreadyBYEYAMI!�
I manage to get to the theatre in record time, fourteen minutes. Although I nearly collapsed I was so exhausted. Yugi was standing in front of the theatre when he saw me. He rushed towards me and threw his arms around me.
�Ryou! Thank goodness you�re here, I was so worried!� He cries out. I managed to find the energy to kiss him on the cheek.
�I�m sorry, Yugi.�
�Well, let�s get inside, the movie�s about to start!� He pulls on my arm as we head towards the double doors leading inside.
�What took you so long anyway?� He asks me. I smile.
�Oh nothing, just� having a good talk with my Yami.�
