OMR AN ACTUAL UPDATE?!

How can I apologize for my lateness? D: I have many reasons as to why I am late though.

1) I have had an EXTREMELY busy summer that has included road trips, being abducted by my friends, going to New York, worrying about my sick (not anymore) Grandpa, and also I'm going on vacation to Wild Wood tomorrow morning.

2) Writer's block. C'mon, we all know how much of a bitch writer's block can be.

Thanks to heinz246 for inspiring this chapter! Also, just so you know, my writer's block isn't completely cured yet, so I would really appreciate it if you left me more ideas in the reviews on which direction you want this story to take! :3

The gang all stood around Joey's bed, looking down at his form silently but with some slight joy. The doctors informed them that their was some slight improvement and that they believed that he might be waking up sometime within the next few days. Seto was the only one sitting, his hand in its usual spot of holding Joey's right hand.

"He truly is an idiot to have done this to himself…" Seto mumbled, smiling slightly. He was doing significantly better since being given the news of Joey's impending awakening.

"Ya, but he's our idiot!" Malik exclaimed, a grin on his face. Joey was like a little brother to both him and Bakura. Sure, they teased him, and sometimes they fought, but that's what brothers do. Right?

There was a slight knock on the door before a nurse slowly opened the door, peaking her head in.

"I'm terribly sorry boys, but it's 10 P.M. and visiting hours are over. You're going to have to leave." The nurse informed them sweetly. With sighs of defeat they all went up to Joey's bed and gave him an awkward hug, even though he could neither feel it nor return it. Seto gave him an awkward hug and a kiss on his forehead before standing up. All of them, minus the owners of the Millennium Rods, had school in the morning and needed to go home and get some rest. Yugi's eyelids drooped as he wordlessly reached his arms out towards his yami. Yami chuckled as he swiftly picked him up, carrying him like he would a young child. They all walked out the door and started to head towards the hospital exit, except for the CEO.

Seto walked back over to the bed and leaned over, placing a slow, but chaste, kiss to the blonde's lips.

"I love you Joey."

"Wait Ryou!" Bakura yelled down the hallway, chasing after his unusually furious hikari. Everyone in the homeroom class looked up as Ryou entered and crossed the room to the back where Yami, Seto, and Yugi were absorbed in a duel between the ex-pharaoh and CEO. The classmates went back to their original early morning activities, most of which included sleeping and last minute attempts at homework. A few seconds later an oddly flustered Bakura entered the room running to the back and grabbing Ryou's wrist, trying to pull him away.

"Ryou I really don't think that-" Bakura started, only to be cut off by the angered Hikari.

"Would you just quit it Bakura! I'm not staying home just so we can fuck!" Ryou exclaimed, feeling his cheeks grow red in his rare anger and embarrassment for mentioning his sex life out loud. Yugi, Yami, and Seto looked up with wide eyes. Ryou never cursed. Never.

"If you would just let me explain-" Bakura seemed to be all out panicking now, trying to pull Ryou towards the exit.

"Too late Theif." Yami cut off Bakura knowingly. Bakura's face grew to one of horror as he looked over to Yami's smirking face.

Yugi's eyes darted between the two yamis in confusion before they widened in realization. He looked over to his yami for conformation. All he got was a small nod, but it was enough.

"Wait… Does he know?" Yugi asked, directing his question at Bakura.

Ryou furrowed his eyebrows and asked Bakura, "Know what?"

Bakura groaned as he dragged a hand down his face, shooting a glare at the spiky-haired hikari. "This is exactly why I wanted us to stay home today…"

"'Kura, what don't I know?"

"I think you should tell him, otherwise he will kill you when he finds out." Yami stated matter-of-factly. Bakura sighed and sat down Ryou at his desk in the back of the classroom, so as not to be overheard.

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you. I was hoping to be able to tell you in a not public place, but I guess that plan went down the drain. You have to promise not to freak out though, okay?" Ryou slowly nodded as Bakura placed his hands on his shoulders and looked directly into his eyes.

"You're pregnant." He just managed to catch his falling hikari as he fainted.

What did you think? Not too bad for writing at 1 A.M. the night before I'm leaving for vacation right? Remember to review with some ideas you would like to see in the story! :D
