Description
{Bakura's POV}
Typical, she'd fallen asleep by the time I got back. I quietly opened the door and shut it to after walking in. My gaze reached the sofa, and sure enough there she was. Curled up on herself, shivering.
I made my way over and sat next to her, shaking her arm slightly.
{Normal POV}
I woke to a shaking and shot up.
"Calm down..." Bakura advised. "You fell asleep again." He pulled a black rucksack from his back and placed it in the glass table. "I bought you some warmer clothes."
"I... I do have warmer clothes..." I mumbled, noticing that I was still wrapped up in his school jacket. I sat up properly and looked to him as he began pulling clothes from the bag, ignoring me.
"Here... Should fit." He handed me a cream coloured jumper with a blue stripe across the front. "Haven't worn it in a while. Just don't tell Ryou I'm giving you that one." He stated.
I looked at him and I knew he wouldn't quit until I'd put it on. I took his jacket off and folded it onto the table before pulling the baggy jumper on. It was very comfy and warm.
"There, suits you." He smirked. "I'll make us some drinks." He got up and walked to the kitchen again. I let myself relax a bit despite the fact that he'd let himself into my apartment, and sunk into the sofa a little more.
"How was school?" I asked. Attempting to make conversation.
"Boring. As usual." He chuckled. "I would have been here sooner but our tutor doesn't exactly like me too much." He came back over carrying some hot drinks and sat down in the chair, placing the drinks on the table.
"Did he give you another detention?" I asked, sipping at the drink. He smiled at me over the brim of his glass. It was... Strange. The smile faded as quickly as it had come when he took a drink of it and placed the mug back down.
"Not just one, a lunchtime one and after school." He stated, folding his arms and crossing his legs.
"I bet your parents weren't too happy..." I mumbled.
"What parents?" Was the response. That's when I remembered... He was Ryou's counter. He didn't have parents...
"Oh... Sorry..." I said. "I just... Uh..."
He smirked. "No worries. People tend to forget that I wasn't always my own person." He grabbed the TV remote. "Any film preference?" He asked.
He was being... Almost kind. It was strange to say the least. Asking me what I wanted to do, not getting offended by things, making drinks. I wasn't used to this. I still didn't know why he was here.
"Um... Anything really..." I answered, realising that I'd been staring at him. He smirked again and pointed the remote at the TV, switching it onto one of the film channels. I watched him as he sipped at his drink and watched the TV. He seemed so calm, unlike usual... He turned and looked at me as I yawned, tired.
"Do you need some rest?" He asked, sitting up and coming over, perching himself next to me on the sofa and putting the back of his hand to my forehead. "You're burning up..."
It was true, I felt dizzy and weak. I had since I'd woken up, but it was worsening the more I tried to stay away.
"Here, lie down." He moved the pillow to the back of me and carefully pushed me down so that I was laying.
"But... I have work tonight..." I mumbled, eyes slowly closing as my head spun. Why had it suddenly kicked in so strong?
"Don't worry about it. I'll handle it." He smiled. It was still so weird to see him smile. "I'll be back soon, only a couple of minutes." He stood and walked to the front door.
About a minute later, just when I was about to get to sleep, there was a knock on the door. I called for them to come in, expecting Bakura again, and began coughing after calling out. My head hurt.
"______?" A voice came. A kind voice... I sat up to see that Yami and Ryou were stood in the doorway. "Hey, just thought we'd check on you." He smiled and walked over.
"Yes, how are you?" Yami asked, staying in the short corridor that came from the front door. He seemed like he didn't want to intrude.
"I've been better..." I mumbled.
The door clicked open again and Bakura walked in, carrying a plastic bag with what appeared to be soup cans in it. He looked up and spotted the other two.
"What are you two doing here." He asked, glaring at them.
"We could ask you the same thing. Bakura." Yami answered, somewhat hostile.
"We came to check up on ______..." Ryou spoke up. He seemed to know that an argument would start.
"Well you can leave. You're not needed." Bakura spoke, mainly shooting his usual glare towards Yami.
"Why exactly do you care?" Yami asked, folding his arms. "Why are you even here?"
Bakura dropped the bag down on the table in the corridor and marched towards Yami. "You need to leave. Pharaoh." His voice was filled with venom. "I can't stand being around you. So just leave. And take your little puppy with you." He pointed casually towards Ryou, who was still over by me, but kept his focus on Yami. He was taller than him, so seemed more menacing.
"We're ______'s friends! We came to check on her." Yami stated, seeming angry.
"Well, you've checked. Now leave." Bakura answered.
"STOP!" I finally yelled, standing up and turning to them. I felt myself get weaker and Ryou caught me as my legs gave way.
"Now see what you've both done! Stop this now, she doesn't need this stress while she's ill." Ryou said, helping me to lay down again. "It's ok ______..."
Bakura walked past Yami and over to me, picking me up and taking me to my room. He laid me down on my bed and put me under the covers. "There... Now, get some rest. Where's your work uniform...?" He asked, sitting next to me on the bed.
"Wardrobe..." I mumbled, falling asleep.
"Thank you." He got back up and I drifted to sleep.
{Bakura's POV}
She's almost asleep again. Good, she needs all the rest she can get.
I got up and walked to the wardrobe, upon opening it I spotted the uniform hanging up on the inside of the door, over the mirror.
I pulled it from the hanger, seemed like it wouldn't fit... I looked through the wardrobe more and spotted a larger inform. Must be one from when she first started... They probably gave her one that was too big. I shrugged and took the outfit over to the bed, I laid it down at the edge of the bed so that I wouldn't wake her, and began unbuttoning my shirt.
Once changed I looked at myself in the mirror. Hmph. Doing someone else's job for them... At least the clothes weren't too bad. A black tank top with a black shirt over the top, black jeans and converse shoes. Those were mine. I shrugged and walked out of the bedroom, the other two were still in the lounge.
"Why are you wearing that...?" Ryou asked me.
"I'm going to go do her job while she's ill. Unless someone else would like to do it?" He looked at both of them and folded his arms. "Right then. I have to go. Now, there's soup in that bag over there. According to her schedule I'll be at work until 12. So I'll allow you to look after her until about half 11. I'll be back just after that anyway. Just let her sleep." I made my way over to the door, confused as to why I cared so much, especially to the point where I would openly talk about it to Yami and Ryou. I turned to look at them, they both watched me walk out and I closed the door.
{Normal POV}
I stirred and looked to my alarm clock. It was half 10! Had I missed my shift?! I jumped up, and walked, weak, into the lounge.
Yami and Ryou were sat on the sofa. Ryou was asleep, but Yami seemed to be watching the TV. He looked to me, and smiled.
"You should be in bed! Or are you hungry...?" He stood.
"No... I... I had work tonight." I told him, my voice almost gone.
"Oh, Bakura went for you. He found a larger uniform in your wardrobe. He said he'll be finished at about 12..." He told me, before smiling. "How about I make you some soup, or a drink?" He walked to the kitchen. I followed him, still struggling to stay awake.
Bakura had borrowed my uniform...? Really? I remembered him taking me to my room, and then... He was... Taking his shirt off. He had borrowed it and gone to work for me. Still, I sorta wish I had have been asleep at that point... I wasn't trying to look but I was just looking around.
"Food?" Yami asked. I nodded and he began to heat up some soup for the three of us.
Once finished, I wondered over to the bedroom, thanking the other two for looking after me. Ryou smiled and said no worries and that it was because we were friends. I smiled and went into the bedroom, flopping back down onto my bed.
{Bakura's POV}
Half 12. I've just gotten back.
Yami and Ryou have left now, I read the note that sat on the table.
'Leaving now, it's half 11. She's asleep, had something to eat and drink.'
I put the note back down onto the table and walked to the kitchen, placing down her pay on the counter. I then made my way to the bedroom to check on her.
She was ontop of the covers. I sighed, walking over and picking her up, placing her under the covers before grabbing a toy (fave animal) ___ and bringing it over, placing it in her arms. I switched off the bedside light before going to walk away, when I felt a tug at my arm.
She had hugged the toy along with my hand...
I sighed and carefully sat on the bed next to her, looks like I was stuck here for the night.
