Ryou sneaks out of the birthday party thrown in his honor when an innocent question unexpectedly strikes him hard: Why do you always hide what you want?

When he arrives home, Bakhura (the King of Thieves) is surprised to see him back early, and Bakura (the Spirit) points out how he looks unsettled more than usual, "What's wrong with you?" Tonight's events ignited a fire in Ryou's veins, and with his personal conviction as fuel, he purposefully strides over to the two and pulls Bakhura into a fervent kiss. An incredulous Bakura asks what the hell he thinks he's doing. Reluctantly, Ryou extracts himself from a speechless but, nevertheless, receptive Bakhura and turns to the other.

"Taking what I want... Don't you always say I should be more honest?" His voice is low, breathy, desire wrapped around every word. Invitingly, Ryou tugs at Bakura, who goes willingly and reciprocates the kiss with the same intensity. "So have me. Both of you. Right here..."

Ryou is the first to pass out, and following some aftercare, the two tuck him into bed. After a long and passionate night, Bakhura's brain is swimming in a pool of happy chemicals, and he doesn't resist the call of the many pillows for his bone-tired body. He slots himself beside Ryou but pauses upon noticing his pale counterpart merely sitting at the edge of the bed, unmoving like a statue and staring at Ryou's sleeping face. A fleeting thought crosses Bakhura's mind that makes him chuckle. As he slides under the covers, Bakura asks what's so funny. "You're still here, is all. Didn't think you were the type to stay the night."

Bakura huffs indignantly, displeased with being profiled but concedes. "You're not wrong." He goes back to watching Ryou and, contrary to his bold words, decides to shuffle under the blanket after an endless minute.

Another chuckle, unmistakably mocking this time. "You just can't keep away, can you?"
