Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Can't Hide What I Feel ❯ CEWIF-Chapter 9 ( Chapter 9 )
This is kind of a short chapter but hey what do you expect, with school and all I really have a hard time keeping up with updating…well enjoy chapter 9!
Seto held Ryou until he had fallen asleep in his arms. He felt so horrible that he couldn't help him, he sighed heavily and wanted to kill Joey for the pain he caused Ryou but he couldn't. Seto wanted more than anything to hug and kiss Ryou, to hold this perfect being in his arms and never let him go and for the moment it seemed like he could. He gently kissed him on the forehead and fell asleep with him shortly.
Ryou awoke around dawn the next day still in Setos arms amazingly enough, and he gently pulled away from him. He wanted to go home, he needed to go home…but he didn't want to leave Seto. Ryou couldn't just leave him without telling him where he was going or why, Seto had done so much to help him and Ryou wanted to pay him back for all his kindness. Seto had saved his life even…how do you repay someone for that? He slowly removed his clothes and went to take a shower. His wrists were healing and they looked a hell of a lot better than they did earlier and his body seemed to be relived of its earlier aches and pains as well. For the first time in a while he felt…good, safe, and clean. Seto awoke without Ryou in his arms and it worried him as he jumped from bed but he heard the running water and calmed himself, realizing that Ryou was okay. He stepped quietly in the bathroom and was happy to see Ryou had already dressed himself. He looked really cute with his hair all bundled up in a towel and Seto smiled at him.
"Feel better?" He asked not really knowing what else to say.
"Much, thanks to you." Ryou smiled at him "I wanted to apologize about yesterday." Ryou suddenly said.
"Apologize? For what?" Seto asked confused
"For basically saying I wished I was dead." Ryou said looking away
"…You don't need to apologize Ryou, you were upset and emotionally exhausted…it's was completely understandable." Seto said.
"Understandable yes, but not acceptable." Ryou swallowed "I shouldn't have said that, I shouldn't have even thought it…I don't want to die, but I'm still not sure how to live." Ryou said with a sigh.
"I wish I could understand what you are going through; maybe I could help more, but since I do not, all I can offer you my service." Seto said with a smile.
"I which case I must decline, I've already taken to much from you. Besides I need to go home anyway. Bakura will be curious as of where I am." Ryou said passing Seto
"Ryou…please." Seto said
"What?" Ryou asked
"Let me help you an any way I can, is that so hard to accept? It seems you only want my help when you are in deep peril." Seto said
"That's not it Seto." Ryou said shaking his head
"Then what is it? Yes I care about you a lot Ryou, but I'm not trying to help you to get closer to you I sincerely want to help." Seto said
"I know Seto, I would never imagine you only using my misfortunes to your advantage. I never said that either. I don't want to be a burden on you." Ryou said looking at the ground.
"You wouldn't be." Seto said embracing Ryou "I wouldn't offer my help if I didn't want to give it you know." Seto said lifting his chin
"I know…you're direct." Ryou said trying not to blush
Seto kissed him ever so softly and was happy that Ryou didn't pull away at the contact.
"Was that to much?" Seto asked
Ryou shook his head no, not able to contain his blush any longer as it sent heat through his entire face.
"You're really cute when you blush." Seto said pulling him into another kiss
Seto pulled the towel from Ryou's hair enjoying the soft slightly damp hair through his fingers…so very soft. Although he didn't want to, he pulled away from Ryou stopping the kiss before his body decided to take in any further. Seto didn't want to scare Ryou away; he had been through a lot in the past few days and he was lucky that Ryou was even willing to kiss him back. But they still had Joey to deal with…and Bakura…it wouldn't work keeping this from him, he would find out sooner or later. It's better he hears it from he wont take his anger out upon, but Seto wasn't exactly sure if he or Ryou was the right person for that. He sighed letting Ryou go finally.
"We should take you home now." Seto said
"If…if you don't mind may I stay here?" Ryou asked
"Of course, I would love to have you here." Seto said a little too enthusiastic but didn't care.
Ryou smiled "I still need to stop by home, so that dad knows where I am and of course Bakura." Ryou said
"Your father is home?" Seto asked
"No…and he wont be home for a long while either but he always checks up on me, he'll want to know where I am is all. He shouldn't care to call so you wont have to give your number out or anything." Ryou said grabbing his book bag, which he still had.
"If he wants it that's fine, anyway lets head out." Seto said
And with that they left.
