Omega19x: (so far, Ryou's been sleeping a lot, and in different places, depending on where he ends up in your house)
ph33r my rod: (( Figured that from the journal entry. :x ))
Omega19x: (okay... I can read my own stuff... wow... I forgot I wrote that. No wonder it sounded familiar...)
ph33r my rod: (( .. XD ))
ph33r my rod: (( Hokay, soooo~ *hops IC* ))
ph33r my rod: *sitting on the couch downstairs, idly flipping through channels*
Omega19x: (that's where Ryou's been sleeping)
ph33r my rod: (( ...oh. ))
Omega19x: (after conversation with Kura)
ph33r my rod: (( Okay. *thinks of something else* ))
Omega19x: *walks slowly up stairs, leaving his yami to watch television.*
ph33r my rod: *is in his room, idly messing aound on the computer*
Omega19x: *pauses briefly to catch his breath, feeling all the worse*
Omega19x: *and eventually makes it up the stairs*
ph33r my rod: *leans back in his chair, staring up at the ceiling... nothing interesting is happening on the internets* "...blah."
Omega19x: *sees Malik through the open door*
Omega19x: "...h..hey..." *cough*
ph33r my rod: *turns and looks at Ryou through the door* "...hey."
Omega19x: *leaning on the wall for support*
ph33r my rod: (( brb ))
ph33r my rod: *gets out of chair and walks out into the hallway where Ryou is* "..." *would ask how he's feeling, but probably already knows*
Omega19x: *just about falls into Malik's arms*
ph33r my rod: "..." *sighs and stands there holding him*
Omega19x: *has an arm around Malik* "... th..thanks..."
Omega19x: *Ryou looks downright ill*
ph33r my rod: *lightly hugs him* "...don't worry, you won't have to go through this for much longer..."
Omega19x: *weak nod*
Omega19x: *followed by a cough*
ph33r my rod: "...Ra, you look..." *carefully lifts Ryou up and carries him back into his room, laying him down on the bed* "..."
Omega19x: "... th..thank you..."
Omega19x: *sighs* "... so..rry... I... going up and... down your stairs... it... it just wipes me out... It shouldn't.. .but... it does."
ph33r my rod: "..." *sits on the edge of the bed* "...it's okay, I can understand." *runs fingers through Ryou's hair*
Omega19x: "... I... I keep trying to be strong like my yami... I do... but... but... it..." *sighs again*
ph33r my rod: (( brb again ))
ph33r my rod: "...I know you do. I know you want to be strong like him, but... maybe sometimes it's better to just be yourself... y'know?"
Omega19x: "... not like this, Malik..."
ph33r my rod: "...well, of course not like this, but..." *sighs*
Omega19x: "...this..." *looks at his trembling hands* "... this... this isn't me..."
ph33r my rod: "..." *lays down next to him, propping himself up on his elbow* "...I know. We'll... we'll have the real you back soon."
Omega19x: "...I... I keep... hoping... but... but part of me... you know..."
ph33r my rod: "...you're scared. I am too... I have this gut feeling that the ceremony will work, and you'll be back to normal... but there's that little doubt at the back of my mind too."
Omega19x: "... I... I feel so weak... I... I can't even do... simple things..."
Omega19x: "...without... tiring myself out..."
ph33r my rod: "..." *sigh* "...we're running out of time."
Omega19x: "... I know... I know..."
ph33r my rod: *drapes an arm over him* "...I don't want to lose you, Ryou..."
Omega19x: "...I... I want to do things... go places with you... I... I probably pushed myself... too hard this past month..."
Omega19x: "...I... I don't want to die, Malik... I want to stay here ... with you... and with my yami..."
ph33r my rod: *rests his head on the pillow next to him* "...then just keep hoping. As long as you don't give up, then... we'll get through this."
Omega19x: *wants to do something fun*
ph33r my rod: *can't read his mind, as much as he'd like to*
Omega19x: (was hoping you had an idea)
Omega19x: (I always have the ideas, I want you to have an idea)
ph33r my rod: (( Ummm... *thinks* ))
Omega19x: (come on, what can we do?)
ph33r my rod: (( I'm trying to think of something that won't overexert Ryou. :x;; ))
Omega19x: (...)
Omega19x: (how about playing a game?)
ph33r my rod: (( Like what kind of game? O.o ))
Omega19x: (I've been trying to find a way to play a board game online or something, but so far, no luck, which is why I asked you if you had plot idea)
ph33r my rod: (( Ohhh. *looks at games and stuff* ))
ph33r my rod: (( I had a couple of ideas, they're probably overused and cliché, but as for the games thing... Yahoo! Games is all I can find. ))
Omega19x: (yeah...)
Omega19x: (know any good wordgames? or icebreaker type what if games?)
ph33r my rod: (( Hmm... Literati is pretty fun, from what I can remember. It's a lot like Scrabble. ))
Omega19x: (can you play in a chat window?)
ph33r my rod: (( Well, the site has a little chat window that goes along with the game. As for wordgames we could play in this window... no clue. XD ))
ph33r my rod: (( There's always good ol' word association! ;D ))
Omega19x: (oh god...)
ph33r my rod: (( Or like... 20 Questions or something. ))
Omega19x: (we could always do something like - 'if you could...' as in, if you could go anywhere, where would you go, if you were a fruit, what fruit would you be, etc.)
Omega19x: (that's always a fun game)
ph33r my rod: (( What, "20 Questions" or "If You Could"? ))
Omega19x: (both)
Omega19x: (lol)
ph33r my rod: (( XD ))
Omega19x: "...I'm sorry... I... I can't... really do anything great... right now..."
Omega19x: "...I... I wish there was something we could do... to take my mind off... everything..."
ph33r my rod: (( Oooh. *thinks of a little twist for the "If You Could" game* ))
Omega19x: (oooh!)
ph33r my rod: "...well, maybe there's some kind of word game or something we could play... like, um..." *bites lip, thinking* "...if you could compare me to any kind of animal, what would I be?"
ph33r my rod: (( Instead of saying what they'd be, they say what each other would be. :x ))
Omega19x: (oooh! goody!)
Omega19x: "... any animal?... you're a lot like a cat... graceful...sly... you... you always land on your feet."
Omega19x: "... you don't sleep as much as one, though."
ph33r my rod: "...I probably could, though." *grins*
Omega19x: *lies back on the pillow, smiles a bit*
Omega19x: "... what would I be?"
ph33r my rod: "...you always reminded me of a mouse. You're always so quiet, and small, and..." *smirk* "...the cat always pursues the mouse."
Omega19x: "... but... doesn't the cat... eat the mouse?"
ph33r my rod: "...there are the few exceptions."
Omega19x: (no, they just suck and swallo...*shot*)
ph33r my rod: (( XDDDDD *DEAD* ))
ph33r my rod: (( My cats have more of a taste for birds. ^^ If anything, it's the dog that gets the mice... >>; ))
Omega19x: "... oh.. is it my turn to ask one now?"
ph33r my rod: *nods*
Omega19x: "...okay... if... if I were a fruit, what would I be?"
Omega19x: (not to be taken like... *shot*)
ph33r my rod: (( *facepalm* ))
ph33r my rod: "...I think you'd be a peach." *reaches up and idly plays with Ryou's hair* "They have that soft outer skin, and... well, they're really sweet." *smile*
Omega19x: *smiles*
ph33r my rod: "...what about me?"
Omega19x: "... you're... like an apple to me... you keep the doctor away."
ph33r my rod: *snickers* "...it's so true, huh?"
Omega19x: *weak nod*
ph33r my rod: *thinks* "...what color do you associate me with?"
Omega19x: "... purple!"
Omega19x: "... you always wear so much of it."
Omega19x: "... what about me?"
ph33r my rod: "...I'm half tempted to say white, 'cause of your hair, but... I'd say a really pale blue. You're... well, pure is the only thing that really comes to mind. And pretty calm most of the time, and... well, sad." *pulls him a little bit closer*
Omega19x: *weak cough*
Omega19x: "... if... if I could go back in time, to any time period... where... where would I go?"
ph33r my rod: "...I think you'd go back to ancient Egypt, where your yami was."
Omega19x: "... yeah... I... I would... back... when he was little though... a... a kid... maybe... help him out."
Omega19x: "...you... you seem to know a lot about love... I'd say you'd be good... in the Renisance... or midieval..."
ph33r my rod: *smirk* "...oh man, I can just imagine myself wearing one of those weird frilly coats..." *snickers*
Omega19x: "... I... I could just see it, though..."
ph33r my rod: *grins and nods* "...if I were a... famous landmark, which one would I be?"
Omega19x: "... hmm..."
Omega19x: "... probably the Sphynx. Keeping watch on the tombs. It's... it's what you've always done..."
ph33r my rod: "...and I'll keep on doing it." *smile*
ph33r my rod: "...you'd be the leaning tower of Pisa. With as much as you've been through, you always manage to keep standing... well, not literally standing, but... you don't give up. Just like how it doesn't fall over, with as much as it leans."
ph33r my rod: (( I put a lot of thought into that one. :x ))
Omega19x: (I can tell!)
Omega19x: "... that's sweet..."
Omega19x: "... if... if I were a kitchen appliance... what would I be?"
ph33r my rod: "...a microwave, 'cause you're one of the only ones I even try to figure out." *grins*
Omega19x: (a microwave... three minutes on high and you're done...*shot*)
ph33r my rod: (( XDDDD ))
Omega19x: "... hmm... I think you're... an oven. You... you make me feel all warm inside... for... for long periods of time..."
ph33r my rod: "..." *smiles and lightly hugs him* "...what element do you associate me with? Like... fire, or air, or what?..."
Omega19x: "... ooh... you're... fire... you keep burning... no matter what."
ph33r my rod: "...you'd be water. Sometimes you're cool, sometimes you're warm... either way, it'd be... really hard to live without you."
Omega19x: (these are just so... FLUFF!)
ph33r my rod: (( *warm fluffies* ))
Omega19x: *blushes a little*
Omega19x: "...if I could have any... superpower... what would I want?"
ph33r my rod: "...well... aside from the one you have now... I think you'd have teleportation. You want to get out and see things, from different perspectives... and I think you'd have a lot of fun with it. It would beat walking, that's for sure..."
Omega19x: "... I'm... not getting too far walking... right now, huh..."
Omega19x: *weak smirk*
Omega19x: *cough*
ph33r my rod: (( ...wow, Ryou smirking. That's something I haven't seen. XD ))
Omega19x: "... you... I saw you... on those roller coasters and ferris wheel at the carnival... you... you seem to me like the type who'd love to fly!"
Omega19x: (it happens, from time to time)
ph33r my rod: "...yeah, that'd be awesome." *grins* "...if I were an article of clothing, what would I be?"
Omega19x: "... hmm... clothes... probably a scarf... you... you protect me from things... and... you like to wrap your arms around my neck... at times..."
ph33r my rod: "...yep." *smiles and nods* "...I can't think of clothes that are constantly being carried, so I'll say you're a sweater 'cause you're warm and fluffy." *grin*
Omega19x: *smiles*
Omega19x: "... okay... what kind of ice cream would I be?"
ph33r my rod: "...plain vanilla. It's frequently accompanied by something else."
Omega19x: "I think you're cookies and cream! the simplicity of vanilla, but with little things that make you want to smile inside!"
Omega19x: *cough*
ph33r my rod: *grins* "...if I were um... a planet, or star, or anything out in space, really... what would I be?"
ph33r my rod: (( It's getting harder to come up with questions. 8D; ))
Omega19x: (yeah, and TV guide is telling me an episode with bakura will be on tomorrow morning. Last time it did that, it was an episode with Noa instead... so... maybe...)
ph33r my rod: (( Oh snap. :o ))
Omega19x: (set vcr anyway)
Omega19x: "... I think you're... the north star. You're always there... every time I looked up, you were always there..."
ph33r my rod: "..." *smiles* "...completely ignoring the fact that you have the powers of the moon god, you're still the moon. Whenever I just sit and watch it, it kind of makes me feel calm and at peace... and most of the time, you have that same effect on me."
Omega19x: "... thanks..." *weak cough*
Omega19x: "... this... this was a fun game, Malik."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "...yeah, it was."
Omega19x: *weak smile*
Omega19x: "... I liked it."
ph33r my rod: "Me too." *pulls him a little bit closer*
Omega19x: "... oh, Malik... would you... get my medicine from my bag... in the guest room?"
Omega19x: "... please?"
ph33r my rod: *nods and sits up* "Sure." *goes and gets it, bringing it back into the room within a few moments*
Omega19x: "... thank you..."
Omega19x: *readies a needle... ick... and wearily gives himself an injection*
ph33r my rod: *winces a little as he watches* "...eeep."
Omega19x: "...I...I hate that..." *winces*
Omega19x: *followed by a couple of pills*
ph33r my rod: "...I think you were better off with all of those pills. That needle can't be comfortable at all..." *weird face*
Omega19x: "...it's... supposed to have... less side effects..." *looks at the injection site on his arm, which is red and irritated* "...I... I hate needles..."
Omega19x: "...I'm... i'm surprised I... I can even do it..."
Omega19x: "... to myself... that is..."
Omega19x: "...but... I... I don't want a hospice nurse... so... I... I have to do it..."
ph33r my rod: "...anything would be better than one of those."
Omega19x: *weak nod*
Omega19x: "... right... I... I can still... do... do things for myself... and... maybe... maybe live..." *sigh*
ph33r my rod: "..." *reaches over and takes his hand, giving it a light squeeze* "...you're going to live. I don't know how I know, but..."
Omega19x: *smile*
ph33r my rod: *smiles back*
Omega19x: "...I...I think I... need to rest, Malik... do... do you mind if I... rest here?"
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Go ahead."
Omega19x: "... thanks..."
Omega19x: *weak smile*
Omega19x: "..." *falls asleep, a moment of peace, perhaps, from the pain and suffering...*
ph33r my rod: (( I take it you're out~? ))
Omega19x: (asleep, not passed out. With ryou there's a difference.)
ph33r my rod: (( ...yes, there is. XD;; ))
Omega19x: (poor tired Ryou...)
ph33r my rod: *idly strokes his hair as he sleeps*
Omega19x: *can't blame him for sleeping. His body is weak... he needs to save his strength.*
Omega19x: (but really, I'm beat. I'll let you post all the fluffy details of the game)
ph33r my rod: (( XDDD Okay. :P Night, then. :3 ))
Omega19x: (night)
