Once Upon a Time
The day of Prince Bakura's wedding to Kagura of Trent things did not go as planned for anyone involved.
The Queen was found to be missing to begin:
"She knew when the wedding was!" Kagura screamed her voice ringing down the hall. "I will be married, today! No questions!"
"But she is the Queen," Seto said dryly.
"What will the other guests say after traveling so far for a wedding that has to be postponed for someone who is not important to this union!"
"She's Bakura's Mom! He likes her," Jou whimpered and darted away from the shoe thrown at him.
"Trash," she hissed.
Seto narrowed his eyes, "I would learn quickly exactly who you can get away with hitting." He walked away with his news for his Prince.
Bakura had nothing to say of it. He said nothing often lately. He simply raised his arms to help Yugi dress him.
After that it was a spectacle, Bakura had silenced Marik by gagging him so that left Yami to be his only capable groomsmen. Kagome was impatience with the formalities and she embarrassed Bakura so much that Seto had to leave because he just couldn't watch that abuse anymore.
"Seto-kun look," Jou pointed out the window.
Seto stopped pacing and took his place behind Jou looking over his lover's shoulder he glanced out the window. "Change of Heart," he breathed, seeing the Queen arrive in her traveling carriage. Both of them gasped when she was followed out by her companion.
"Ryou!" Jou said excitedly, his invisible tail wagged. "Oh but the ceremony, it's almost over."
"Yugi, Malik, hurry run down and get Ryou and Heart. Jou will help me stall." Seto ordered. Both obeyed sprinting to meet their friend.
"Seto, how can we stall?" Jou asked keeping at Seto's heels back into the ceremony.
Just as they entered the Priest said, "Speak now..."
"I speak," Pegasus voice interrupted it was firm and grew in volume as he stepped forward. "That girl is pregnant."
The guests gasped.
"What! How dare you accuse me..."
"So you don't deny it," Pegasus sung. He knew he had to stop Bakura from marrying, whether it was to this witch or to someone he cared about. So Pegasus had made sure of her unfaithfulness by sleeping with her more than once. Then after he consulted with her servants knew that she was pregnant.
"You and Bakura have ruined this holy marriage," he continued.
"I have not slept with Bakura."
The guests gasped a second time.
Bakura stepped away from his Uncle and his bride. He said nothing as they continued there screaming match. He seemed unmoved by the events unfolding.
"Bakura," Yami hugged him sympathetically as he was the only one capable of doing so.
Aside from the fighting pair the room fell into silence when the Queen entered. Her presences drew everyone ones attention and she didn't even have to say a word all she had to do was make her way to the front.
She stopped in front of her son and he took her hands needing his mother more than being polite. "Bakura, I don't want you to marry like this." She turned to the Priest, "I object to the union."
The Priest silenced the pair in from of him, both looked offended. "Your Majesty what are your reasons?"
"My son is in love, but not with her," she spread her hand back stepping aside she ushered Ryou to her side.
"Ryou," Bakura's voice was soft but it wasn't unheard by a single ear.
"Who the hell do you think you are?" Kagome screamed. "You can't bring some trashy low life to my wedding!" The guest gasped again as Kagome swore at the Queen. As their attention drew to what the poised woman would do Bakura had time to speak to Ryou. As Jou and Tristan held Kagome back from attacking Heart, they had time to mend.
Bakura drew to Ryou until he stood face-to-face with him. "Ryou," Bakura's tongue grazed over his lips, his arms hovered over Ryou's body moving into position but never touching Ryou. Bakura was unsure of how to finally claim Ryou. He was afraid to love him.
"I'm sorry, Bakura," Ryou moved in sliding his hand over Bakura's chest and resting it on his shoulder. He knew that the contact was important it would help tell Bakura that feeling like this was okay. "Please don't make my mistake take away the love I want to give you."
Bakura's arms folded around Ryou pulling him into a deep embracing. He held on to Ryou. "I love you." That was all. He had hundreds of things he wanted to say but that's all he got as he stood there in front of the guests for a wedding that never made it to marriage.
Now that Kagome was being carried out of the room screaming the guests could focus on what the groom was doing.
"Bakura?" Yami spoke. He felt bad for breaking the soulmates apart. It couldn't be helped; everyone was asking the same question. Was she the one? Yami said nothing more waiting for Bakura to make the next move.
Seto did. "All of these people are here to see a wedding."
"Oh, right," Bakura nodded. Ryou slowly became nervous as all focus moved to him. "Marry me, here, now, Ryou?"
It was surprising to the guest that Ryou seemed so pleased with the proposal. There was only one thing that bothered him, he asked, "Can I do that?"
"No," Pegasus interjected.
"Is it okay with you Ryou? This was not planned to be your wedding," Heart said softly over-ruling Bakura's uncle.
"It is." Ryou looked around the large room. It was filled with family, friends, strangers, and Bakura. "This has to be my wedding, Bakura's here."
"Aww that's so sweet!" Marik's voice sang. The gag he was placed it had finally been removed by his lover.
"Seto," the Priest nodded to him, "Perhaps I will sit for this one. Will you perform the ceremony?"
Seto smiled taking the older Priest's place and the ceremony began, again.
It's tradition for a man to stay, alone with his new wife for up to a week after their wedding. Bakura liked that tradition. He enjoyed keeping Ryou all for himself. It was during this time that Bakura was allowed to explore his lover, to fall deeper in love with him then he thought possible. It was also during this time that they resolved the issues that almost kept them apart forever.
"I cannot believe your parents would do that! It's really messed up," Bakura played his fingers over Ryou's naked and flat chest.
"I couldn't believe it either. I don't know. I guess they thought something was wrong with me, even as a baby." Ryou sighed. They had had conversations that started with Bakura's disbelief often in the last few days. It was understandable to Ryou because Ryou could not believe that they would end up like this either. He never let himself even image being in Bakura's bed naked and warmed by only Bakura.
Bakura hissed, "Can I punish them please?"
"No."
"But, Ryou, there is nothing wrong with you. You are wonderful," Bakura kissed him.
"You're just saying that because I have a healthy appetite for sex," Ryou teased.
"Yeah, and it's all mine," Bakura smiled. Ryou smiled. It was a fairy tale ending, right?
