"That's good. We'll be rich!" Yuugi smiled widely, "We can buy a lot of soup and we can stay a float for awhile longer."
They had sixty dollars, and a can of cheap soup was about fifty cents.. They could get over one-hundred cans of food if they tried.
But there were other expenses, too. And who knows how long one-hundred cans of food was going to last..
"Okay. I'll make you something." He tugged at Yami's hand, "Let's go to the kitchen and you can pick out what you want."

"And maybe with some of that money we can buy Yami a sense of fashion." Bakura snickered as he pulled another cig out to smoke. "Don't forget that stuff I got to pawn off too shorty. You might see a movie yet."
After taking a puff he rolled the cig idly in his fingers as he put his free arm behind his head. "Have fun playing house you two. Make sure he doesn't set the place on fire shorty."

"Bakura, stop being so mean." Yuugi couldn't help but giggle a little, though.
"I like Yami's vest. I think it looks really nice. I'd wear it," He smiled at Bakura, "Are you sure you don't want something to eat? Since I'm already cooking a can of soup.."
He'd probably just bring Bakura a bowl of soup, anyway. Bakura deserved it.

"I'm not being mean, I'm simple stating a fact that everyone knows." Bakura leaned back and yawned a bit. "Besides, you laughed too."
He shook his head slightly at Yugi's question. "I told you shorty, I'm fine. Sometimes you worried too much about other people."
((sorry for suckyness))

"Nah, don't worry about me." Jou looked up at the sky and shook his head. "I've been through worse than bein' out without a a jacket. Seriously, don't worry." Finally, he could see signs of his 'home' being close. Home meant a blanket. The blond sped up his pace a little. "Well, if they make you that nervous, then just stick by me, 'kay? You can trust me, I promise. Besides..." he tilted his head a little to one side. "I found ya', so you're kind of my responsability. So no matter what, I've gotta take care of you out here. So, trust me with anything, alright?"
He stepped up to the front of the squat, looking back at Ryou and the kitten. His hand rested against the door, ready to push it open. "Ready?"

Yuugi shook his head, walking with Yami to the kitchen.
When Yuugi had finished up, he had split up the chicken noodle soup he had cooked between himself and Yami. He handed Yami his bowl and went back into the living room to sit next to Bakura.
He sat down and looked at Bakura.
"Here." He handed Bakura the bowl.
"It's for you. You came back from being away and you're probably cold. I want you to eat it and get better. Get better and be happy." Yuugi smiled, "Do you like chicken noodle soup? If you don't, I can always make you something else. I could go steal something else for you."
He smiled a bit wider and felt himself blush a little, just a little, but that could be explained away by the cold, not the small feeling in his gut that tickled and turned.

Bakura opened his eyes and looked at the bowl Yugi held out to him. "I told you I didn't need anything shorty. Besides, you need it. I really dobut that a few candies are enough for you to eat. I'm not cold or anything so don't worry." He smiled at Yugi, a real smile not the normal smirk, for a moment before taking another drag on his cig.
"I've been on the streets longer than most people here, so don't worry about me Yugi. I'm not dead yet so I'm doing something right." Bakura laughed a bit, smirk in place. "Or doing something wrong if you ask the right person."

Ryou watched Jou silently with a little smile. The way he talked made him feel like Night (who was still meowing and trying to get back on the boy's shoulder). His responsibility, Night was his, and now Ryou was this boy's? A little blush crept on his cheeks before turning his head and nodding.
"Okay...thank you." he mumured for what felt like the 100th time since their meeting. He noticed the blonde speed up, causing him to jump slightly and walk faster to catch up. Once they got to the door he starred at it, his stomach churning. "I'm ready...I think...I know Night is." Night meowed and finally found his way back to Ryou's shoulder, his tail whipping about happily.

Jou chuckled, smiling at the kitten. He had always envied animals with their fur coats in the winter. "Well, good for him then. I hope you'll like it here as much as he does." He held out a hand for Ryou to take; not to shake, but to hold. "I remember how it felt to be introduced into a squat. I was nervous too. But ya' shouldn't be, Ryou." He was actually a little used to comforting people at this point in his life. He had done it enough times with other runaways he had met on the streets, though he had never taken one in like he was. It had been just the reverse for him, actually... he had been the one being taken in. Though he had already been used to street life before he had run away for good.

The black kitten blinked at Jou and tilted it's head slightly before pushing himself into the crook of Ryou's neck.
Ryou turned his eyes to Jou's hand. Still not used to all of this conversation or even hand gestures. Figuring he wanted Ryou to take his hand he smiled slightly and took it. "I'll try not to be." He tried to make his voice sound assured. For some reason he couldn't imagine the boy in front of him nervous. From what he had seen, Jou was the brave type...the one who went head first, where as he was the complete opposite. Or atleast to himself he was.

"Bakura, if you don't take it, I'm going to be offended." He pushed the bowl towards Bakura more.
"Please take it. I made it for you. Besides, when Jou gets home, I can split something up with him. Please?" He took the cigarette from Bakura.
"You can't eat with a cigarette in your mouth." And he put it in his own mouth.
"Please, eat this." He said.

"Good." Jou squeezed Ryou's hand with his own cold one and grinned. He hoped that, for their sake, someone would be awake to get the door for them. He hated having to wake people up to let him in after a late night raid, especially since he himself was one of those people that didn't take kindly to being woken up. At all. As much as Jou loved sunlight, he hated being woken up before one in the afternoon.
Finally, the blond turned to the door and knocked, firm but loud enough for someone half-asleep to hear. If no one came, he would just have to knock harder.

"Ah. The door.." Yuugi set the soup bowl in Bakura's lap and left without saying so much as another word to Bakura.
Bakura would eat that soup sooner or later.
He answered the door, though, looking out into the dark.
"Jou? Hi! Where have you been? You didn't come home when you usually do.. I'm glad you're here, though!" He hugged Jou around his middle, squeezing.

Ryou felt Jou squeeze his hand, and he smiled while Night continued to rub again the pale boy's neck and face. Finally the door opened and he saw a rather short, spikey haired boy jump out and hug Jou. Confused Ryou watched silently, still holding Jou's hand.
At the sudden voice Night meowed and leaned over Ryou's shoulder, wide blue eyes pearing out at the new boy. His cat eyes able to see everything. His black tail began to thump again Ryou's face. "Ah...Night." He used his free hand to pulled the cat back just as it was about to jump onto the spikey hair.

Jou laughed and returned Yuugi's hug with his free arm, the other still holding Ryou's hand. "Sorry about that! Didn't mean ta' worry ya' at all." He squeezed Yuugi right back, grinning widely. Yuugi was like a brother to him. They were all family in the squat, of course, but Yuugi especially felt like a little brother to Jou. "Yeah, well I'm glad too, cuz' it's freezing out here! Oh, and I brought a surprise home too." He motioned back to Ryou with his head. "Two actually. Two stray kittens."
