Bakura had barely been home long enough to take off his shoes and set down his groceries (and new assortment of first aid supplies) before going back out into the hall to knock on the door across from his.

"Ryuzaki-kun? It's me... are you in?"

"You know what I'm talking about. I thought you weren't an idiot...? Do I really have to spell this out for you?"

[shiromadoushi]

Bakura's shoulders slumped. "Call it optimism..." he half mumbled. "You were watching the cameras again...?"

[dead_black_eyes]

"Of course I was. I'm up for a promotion. I'm not going to start slacking now."

[shiromadoushi]

"You sound more like a stalker, Ryuzaki-kun... Why were you watching me anyway?"

[dead_black_eyes]

"It's part of my job to watch people of interest. I thought you knew that, or could at least figure that out."

[shiromadoushi]

"You've never told me what anything about your job was," Bakura pointed out. "And how am I a person of interest...?"

[dead_black_eyes]

"So self-absorbed. Not you, your evil counterpart. You're far too thick to warrant surveillance, I'm afraid."

[shiromadoushi]

Again, Bakura's shoulders slumped. "Never can tell with how you do things..." he mumbled, not meeting his friend's eyes.

[dead_black_eyes]

"Maybe you're not my type, either. You're not the only person who's a little bit discriminating."

[shiromadoushi]

"...what?"

[dead_black_eyes]

L sighed exasperatedly.

"You told me once that I wasn't your type. If I was stalking you on my own time? You'd be my type. Since I don't, you're not, do you follow, for once?"

[shiromadoushi]

Bakura sighed softly, doing his best not to shake his head. "And that jerk is..." It wasn't even a question any longer.

[dead_black_eyes]

"He's not exactly repulsive to you, either, seemingly."

[shiromadoushi]

"It's complicated...."

And Bakura didn't at all want to try and explain it. Especially not to Ryuzaki...

[dead_black_eyes]

"What if it came right down to it and you had sex? Would that be incest, or just incredible narcissism?"

[shiromadoushi]

Bakura stared, eyes huge. "Wh-- tha--- As if that would ever happen!" he stammered, utterly appalled that Ryuzaki would even suggest something like that.

[dead_black_eyes]

"It wouldn't surprise me. The two of you resonate, don't you? You probably thought that that could never happen, at one point."

[shiromadoushi]

"One has nothing to do with the other!"

[dead_black_eyes]

"But it was something you thought was impossible, but it turned out not to be."

[shiromadoushi]

"That's like saying because a man walked on the moon, that we'll have a colony on the sun! It's not going to happen!"

[dead_black_eyes]

"It's not as dissimilar as you want me to believe. Do you honestly think I've never been in a similar situation?"

[shiromadoushi]

"This is nothing at all like you and Light!"

[dead_black_eyes]

"Tell me how it's different, go on... and no stupid reasons, like 'he literally lived inside me.' That goes without saying."

[shiromadoushi]

"How is something like that a stupid reason?!" Bakura demanded. "Everything about it is different!"

[dead_black_eyes]

"Just because the catalyst was different does not mean that no one else in the history of the world has felt the same way. Get over yourself."
