Fui Quod Es, Eris Quod Sum

The entire walk there was eerily silent, at least on Ryou’s part. His back was to Bakura and it certainly didn’t feel like a normal date. Hell, it didn’t even feel like two friends hanging out with how much distance and general lack of interaction there was between the two. Though, there were thoughts going through his head constantly. 

There were images of the times Bakura had gotten almost intimately close to the boy only instead of continuing with what he was doing the images would warp to him pulling away and mocking Ryou saying ‘ You fool. Did you ever think I would want you? Don’t be ridiculous you are my host and nothing more.’ 

Of course, Bakura was not blind to the wants of his host. They had a mindlink for a reason, and sometimes (all the time), things leaked through. It was inevitable, but Bakura just..wasn’t..suited for that. At least, he didn’t think he was. He had too much on his plate and too little interest. So quietly he followed, hands in pockets and eyes almost drilling a hole into the back of Ryou’s head.

If looks could kill, he supposed..

Ryou listened to Bakura’s words and studied his reactions. He wasn’t sure how to take anything he was witnessing right now and maybe his eyes were playing tricks on him but the spirit looked a bit.. hurt? He just didn’t want the other to mess with his feelings and leave him in the dust especially if he didn’t want Ryou getting anything from the experience. He didn’t just go on dates because he felt like it. 

He wanted someone who actually had feelings for him and the spirit of the ring was the last person he’d expect to have such. If he did, he never showed any inclination that they were there and he certainly didn’t treat Ryou like he had feelings for him. The boy looked down with an unreadable expression.

“ It’s not that I don’t.. but I only go on dates with someone who wants a relationship with me Bakura.. and judging by your past treatment of me you definitely don’t. Plus, you’re a spirit and I’m a human.. don’t you consider humans beneath you? I.. want to.. but I don’t want you to get into something you don’t understand either..”

“I don’t really do relationships, Host. You know this.”

A shrug, and he clicked his tongue, crossing his legs and propping them up on the table, fingers tapping against his legs. He supposed Ryou had a point. Bakura had no intentions of pursuing any kind of romantic relationship at the moment..if ever. It just wasn’t his thing, really.

Ryou paused, running over what the other had just said to him in his head. Don’t get any ideas? Did he even understand the meaning of a date? He let out a deep sigh and ran a hand through his hair. 

“..No one put me up to it.”

Bakura squinted, rubbing the back of his neck before wrinkling his nose. “It’s just a simple yes or no question, Host. Do you want to go on a date or do you not?” The question sounded almost awkward coming from his lips, and he pursed his lips after a moment.

★- kiss them on the lips or pants them
