~I Must've Done Something Right~

A certain fluffy-haired teen rolled over in his bed, fluttering his chocolate brown eyes open. Yep, another day in Domino High. At least school was nearly over, so Ryou could spend time with his 'friends' over the summer. Sighing he pulled himself out of bed, grabbing his dark blue uniform off of the chair next to his bed.

"Buggah... well I guess I better get dressed." Ryou huffed, yanking off his hello kitty pj's, until he was down to his hot pink boxers decorated with white rabbits. Little did he know there was a certain someone watching this, thanks to the 'useless' gymnastics lessons his mother enrolled him in! Two crimson orbs were staring in at Ryou, framed by a matted, fluffy white mane. The boy watched Ryou almost hungrily, as he had been doing for the past few days.

Ryou turned around, he swore he saw a white bur in the window, but it was gone in an instant. 'Must've been a bird...' he thought, placing a delicate pale hand on the window.

x~x~x~x~x~x

When Ryou approached the school he was greeted by Joey and Tristan, "Heeey Ry! I see you're still draggin' that necklace around," Joey said, punching Ryou on the arm, "I bet your girlfriend would love that-"

Tristan cut Joey off short, "But he dosen't have one! I thought you told me he's gay!"

Joey grabbed Tristan by his dark blue shirt collar, "I TOLD YOU TO KEEP QUIET! I EVEN GAVE YOU A COOKIE FOR RA'S SAKE!"

Tristan smiled, "Ohya!" he said, scratching his head, "Ryou's straight and he's not a girly social outcast!"

Ryou frowned, and while Joey and Tristan were arguing he drifted away from them, until he found himself sitting on a bench outside of school. It was warm, it was summer, and Ryou didn't feel like going inside just yet. Besides, he was half an hour early! It wouldn't be open in the first place.

Suddenly Ryou heard noise underneath him, he bent down to look and he was greeted with an older-looking mirror image of himself, only with scruffier hair and repulsive-looking crimson eyes. Not that they weren't glorious and shiny, it's just that red eyes, and particularly the color red, reminded Ryou too much of evilness and his little 'incident' with his arm when Seto Kaiba decided to get high and carry around a knife all day, the gash took months to heal.

"Oh- sorry, I jus' left my skate board under here- I'm jus' gonna grab it 'kay?" The boy asked, dragging his well-loved skateboard out from under the bench Ryou was sitting on. Ryou's first instinct was to run, after all his mother did tell him not to talk to strangers, but this stranger was wearing a Domino High school uniform. But why? Ryou had never seen this guy before, and it was much too late to transfer.

"Um, may I ask why you're wearing that uniform?" Ryou asked the boy,

"The name's Bakura. I had to move here right away. My 'pa got a new job here, and I couldn't stay in my old school. I don't know why it's so damn important to my mom for me to come to school, so I was forced here. Hey kid, promise me you won't tell the teachers I brought my skateboard?" Bakura said, glaring down at Ryou.

"Oh, um, sure!" Ryou said, smiling at this new kid... Bakura? "Oh yes, um, Bakura? What grade are you in? I'm in grade 10! And the name's Ryou~" he said, holding out his hand.

"Heh, I'm in that one too, see ya 'round." Bakura said, ignoring Ryou's hand. Maybe this kid wasn't as nice as Ryou thought, but it was the first acual conversation he had with someone this year without getting insulted or bet up. "Bye!" yelled Ryou, waving his pale hand at the newcomer. He saw Bakura look back and flash him a peace sign. 'Ah, maybe this kid isn't half bad, I must see him later,' he thought.

x~x~x~x~x~x

Ryou gathered his books and sat down in a clean looking desk in the front of the class, ignoring the whispers and looks he was getting. People around him were gossiping about the new kid, raving about how smilaler he and Ryou looked.

"Ryou!" whispered Yugi, who was holding hands with a frightened Tea.

"Oh hi Yugi!" whispered Ryou, "What's up?"

Yugi leaned in closer, "There's a new kid, I hear he's bad. Apperently he failed two grades! Stay away from him, he'll hurt you. I don't know what kind of cruel monster would hurt a gay ball of fluff like-" he was silenced by Ryou's glare, "Ok, just remember to stay away from him, got it?"

Ryou watched in disgust as Yugi walked away with his obviously-soon-to-be-girlfriend. That was his second time being tormented about being 'different'. 'Different' as in he has a rainbow colored schoolbag, he wore his favorite hello-kitty pj's to Tristan's birthday sleepover with Yugi and Joey, and he's not interested in girls. Being 'different' didn't mean he fancied being in bed with people of the same gender.

About 15 minutes later Bakura walked in, his shoulders slumped and holes in his uniform knees, Ryou could just barely see blood-stained band-aids through the holes, he guessed Bakura fell while riding his skateboard. Bakura took a seat in the back of the class, right next to Malik Ishtar. Imediatly the Egyptian got up and started fiddling with Bakura's hair, "This is real?"

Bakura swatted Malik's hands away, "Yes."

Malik stuck his tounge out, "Meanie... I was only making sure it wasn't fake like Fluffy's head over there," he sneered, pointing to Ryou.

Bakura glared at Malik and looked down at his paper, where he scribbled a doodle of a twisted-looking cat. Ryou pittied him, everyone was so sterotypical towards him. He was... 'different'... just like Ryou. He smiled at this idea, it made him feel special.

Bakura stared blankly at the front of the class, he didn't give a shit about these 'exams' the teacher was talking about. His eyes drifted to Ryou, who was swiftly taking notes. He looked around, and he noticed a few eyes were on him. Mostly that girl Tea, he was pretty sure she must be in to older men. Perv. He turned his head away when she started lickng her lips, thank Ra he didn't have a girlfriend. He had lied to the kids in his old school, they all thought he had a slutty girlfriend who had moved away to Canada. Yeah right, the last thing Bakura could stand was girls. Maybe he'd die alone, he couldn't care less.

Suddenly 'Kura's train of thoughts were interupted by a ghostly white finger poking at his side, "Baku? Baaaku?"

Bakura grunted, "Yeah, what? And call me that again and you'll never see sunlight again-" he said, pausing to try and ignore the hurt in Ryou's precious brown eyes, "I don't like nicknames."

"Oh... okay... Well class is over, considering the fact you're the closest thing to a friend I may have in this horrid school would you like to study with me? We're going to the study hall, and we're allowed to group study!"

Bakura sighed, "Sure, I guess, it's better then getting lectures about sleeping during 'study time' from those damn teachers."

Ryou shivered, "That word..."

Bakura laughed, "Damn? Damn damn damn damn damn!"

Ryou coverd his ears, "Stop it! Let's go." he said as he grabbed Bakura's hand, his face flushed a deep red color.

"Calm down, Fluffy, following you is fine. It's not like I'll get lost." Bakura said, pulling away.

"But you don't know where the library is!" Ryou said playfully, making sure not to turn around as he grabbed Bakura's hand again. This time Bakura was 'forced' to not let go, Ryou was really persistant on keeping a hold on to his new friend's hand. Ryou had a phobia of getting lost.

x~x~x~x~x~x

As Bakura slid down the plain brick wall to sit on the floor Ryou looked down with him with his hands on his hips, "We're studying over here, it's far more cozy then this filthy library floor."

"Fine, I'm up, I'm up." Bakura said as he pulled himself off of the ground. In one day his uniform went from being perfect and new to a filthy, torn-up mess!

Ryou grabbed Bakura's hand again, Bakura sighing, and dragged him to a couch. "Ok, so how would you find the circumference of a cirlce?"

Bakura grumbled, "This is gonna be a long 2 hours..."

x~x~x~x~x~x

When the lunch bell rung almost everyone ran out of the library at once, except for Ryou. Bakura was nearly half way out the door when he noticed his Fluffy follower wasn't following, "Ry?"

Ryou smiled and waved from his spot on the couch, "Over here 'Kura! Missed me?"

"N-No! Just noticed you weren't following me, as usual, and you're the closest thing I have to a friend here so far- you just wait- so I was jus' making sure you didn't get trampled by those other 'lil brats you call your classmates, y'know, jus' in case you wouldn't be able to follow me. Without followers I'd be alone, not like I'm not already used to it..."

Ryou softly elbowed Bakura, "Come on, silly! As much as I'd love to hear all about the past 5 minutes I'm starved!" he said, grabbing Bakura's hand again.

"No."

"Please? Just until we reach the cafeteria?"

"What's with you and hands?"

"I like hands. Hands are nice. And holding hands means we'll never get seperated, so I won't have to worry about loosing you. Hold on tight!"

Bakura tried pulling away but Ryou's tight grip and angelicly soft hands almost lured him in... "Fine, but just let go before we enter. We'll look gay if we enter while holding hands, and I'm sure they'd bully you- us- twice as much if they thought we were gay."

"Y-yeah... that'd be pretty embarrassing... yep... let's go!"

x~x~x~x~x~x

Their hands seperated they entered the lunch room, "Oh Ra, I couldn't have guessed there were this many kids in this school." Bakura said, surverying the cafeteria for a decent place to sit. "Over here!" Ryou called as he ran ahead. His choice was a snuggly spot around the middle of the cafeteria table, 'snuggly' as in there were lots of people squished in there, while Bakura looked longingly at the dark, barren corner at the far side of the room. "How about over here, Ry? I'm not sure I'd... uh... fit in your spot!" he said, plopping himself down in the spot he had picked out.

"Ok! Oh, and Baku? Did you bring a lunch?"

"No, I ordered, why?"

"...you'll have to go up and get it, 'Ku."

"Oh, sure. Save that spot 'kay?"

"Sure!" said Ryou, placing his lunchbag on the bench like a preeschooler would do.

"Ry what are you doing?"

"Saving it. You said you needed to order, sooo..?"

Bakura shook his head, "Sure, Shadow. Don't blame me if someone steals our spot... and possibly your lunch."

Ryou shrugged, "Sure," and held his head down as he followed Bakura. He always seemed more nervous when he was with a large crowd of people, he opened up more when he was with Bakura.

x~x~x~x~x~x

After school Ryou waved cheerfully to Bakura, "Bye! Oh, and..." he said as he pulled Bakura into a tight hug, "Thank you, for being my friend. I could never ask for someone better!"

Bakura pryed the cuddly little teen from himself and shrugged, "Sure. Seeya." he said as he jumped on his skateboard. Ryou checked his pocket, oh snap! He almost forgot to get Bakura's number so he could stay up all night texting him, and possibly all morning. "Hey Bakura, wait!" he yelled, running after him and waving. But it was too late, since Bakura was in too much of a hurry to get to wherever he went after school. Ryou sighed, "Maybe tommorow."

And that's it! YAAAY! There'll be more chapters, and in case you got confused at parts:

"Blahblahblah" =talking

'Blahblahblah' =thinking

'Blahblahblah' (without the word 'thought' around it) =whatever it's called, like when someone makes bunny ears when they're saying a word or whatever

x~x~x~x~x~x =seperating scenes, ect.

And I'm trying not to make Bakura and Ryou too OOC, if I do then I give you guys permission to call the fanfiction police ^^
