Omega19x: *a quite tired and frozen Ryou finally walks in the door. Again, it was two shifts at work today. And to make matters more annoying, the bus he was on broke down, and he had to walk the rest of the way home.*
Omega19x: "... anybody home?"
ph33r my rod: *pops his head in from the kitchen, nibbling on a piece of toast* "Hey, Ryou."
Omega19x: *shivers* "... hey Malik. Can... can you put some... some water on the stove? I... I could really use a hot glass of tea."
ph33r my rod: "Sure." *goes to do so, filling up a pot with water* "What happened? You look like you're freezing..."
Omega19x: "... the... the bus broke down across town... I... I had to walk home..."
Omega19x: "... and it's really getting cold outside."
ph33r my rod: "Oh... well, why don't you go and wrap up with that blanket on the couch? I'll bring your tea when it gets done."
Omega19x: "... th..that would be very nice, thank you..."
ph33r my rod: *smiles* "No problem."
Omega19x: *eagerly wraps up in blanket*
Omega19x: "... Di..did you hear what S..Seto wants to do?"
ph33r my rod: "Not really, I haven't been online that much lately." *waits for water to boil* "What's he wanna do?"
Omega19x: "... He wants to.. to give me... money for Christmas... to... to pay off my entire bill..."
Omega19x: 'But Mokuba says he's being delirious, and that he's not really going to..."
ph33r my rod: "And Mokuba generally tends to talk out of his ears." *waits for tea to brew, etc* "But man, if Seto did that, it'd help out a hell of a lot..."
Omega19x: "... It... it would be wonderful... The... the contract would be broken, and they... they couldn't keep testing me either."
Omega19x: "But it's a lot of money... I... I don't know if... you know... I should accept something like that... I... I could never pay him back..."
ph33r my rod: *walks out with two cups of tea and sets them on the coffee table* "I'm sure money like that isn't much more than pocket change to him. Remember, he's like a multibillionaire or something close to that."
Omega19x: "... right... I... I forget that sometimes..." *grabs tea and savors the warm feeling in the back of his throat*
ph33r my rod: *sits down on the couch and sips on his own cup* "If he's offering this to you, he's probably serious about it. And unless you win the lottery or something, that thing won't be paid off anytime soon..."
Omega19x: "... not until I'm... 120 or something like that..."
Omega19x: "...yeah... it would be a long time..."
ph33r my rod: *looks at him* "You don't want to be tested for the rest of your life, do you...?"
Omega19x: "... NO." *now there's a strong willed statement coming from a little bishie.*
ph33r my rod: (( *dead* XDDD ))
ph33r my rod: "... Then I'd accept it. I mean... how many opportunities like this will you get?"
Omega19x: "... I... I will... I... I just don't want to get my hopes up, and then have Mokuba be right."
ph33r my rod: *finishes off tea, then leans into the couch* "...look at it this way. If Seto was joking about it, then he'd likely have his neck wringed by a very overprotective and somewhat ghostly older sister, an ancient spirit with a fetish for sharp objects, and a formerly psychotic and rather sexy Egyptian. Do you really think he'd take that risk?"
Omega19x: *can't help but giggle at that* "... you have a point..."
Omega19x: "... How... how have you been? I... I haven't seen you much lately... Even if that is my fault..."
ph33r my rod: "...bored? Lonely? Take your pick." *small smirk*
Omega19x: "...I'm sorry..."
ph33r my rod: *wraps an arm around Ryou, pulling him against his side* "Hey, it's not your fault. Your boss just likes overworking you like crazy."
Omega19x: "... He's a real jerk..."
Omega19x: "... I... I would like to leave that job... So... so I hope Seto comes through..."
ph33r my rod: "...he most likely will. He may be a jerk at times, but I highly doubt he's a liar."
Omega19x: "... it... it would be really nice not to... not to be their lab rat... my boss just keeps getting meaner the longer my test results look... well... normal..."
ph33r my rod: "... And they're only going to look normal for the rest pf your life, so..."
Omega19x: "...Sometimes I think he wants me to get sick again... not... not just sick, but Shadow Disease sick..."
Omega19x: "Just so he can submit another paper."
Omega19x: "... 'Disease remains in remission' doesn't sell journal articles, I gues..."
ph33r my rod: "..." *tenses up a bit* "...then it's best that you get that bill paid off as soon as you can, and get away from that selfish bastard."
Omega19x: "... You're right..."
Omega19x: "... things will be a lot better once that contract is broken... It... it seemed like such a good idea... when I signed it..."
Omega19x: "I got a job... and... and less hastle about the bill... but... still..."
ph33r my rod: "You got a couple of good things out of it, but with one huge drawback... so at this point, is it really worth it to keep on doing this?"
Omega19x: "...no... Not really..."
Omega19x: "he... he is still a jerk..."
Omega19x: (hmm, a bunch of names on my AIM list just disappeared all at once)
ph33r my rod: (( Oh dear. They must be having server trouble. ))
Omega19x: (holds onto my malik-kun!)
ph33r my rod: (( *clings* ))
Omega19x: "It's not like they're ever going to see the Shadow Disease again..."
ph33r my rod: *shakes head* "Nope. So... as long as your doctor keeps bugging you for samples, then the bad things really outweigh the good. You're being harassed, and antagonized, and you don't get to spend as much time at home..."
Omega19x: "... and... and they keep giving me more hours... and... and working me to the... the point that I'll probably get sick from it..."
ph33r my rod: "... You know, that's probably his intention. Working you until you're sick, and then he can only add more to the bill, and have a reason for still taking samples..."
Omega19x: "... Would... would people really do that?"
ph33r my rod: "If your doctor's being that much of a jerk, I wouldn't be surprised if that was what he was trying to do."
Omega19x: "... it... But that's really really mean."
Omega19x: "And wrong. And unethical..."
ph33r my rod: "Case in point. It's only more reason for you to get out of there."
ph33r my rod: (( brb ))
ph33r my rod: (( Back. Yay I have a decorated cake. 8D ))
Omega19x: (HAPPY PRE-BIRTHDAY TO MALIK-KUN!)
ph33r my rod: (( WOOT. 8DDD ))
Omega19x: (*sings*)
Omega19x: (Malik-kun and Steve!)
ph33r my rod: (( *death* XDDDD ))
Omega19x: "You
Omega19x: 're right. I do need to get out of that place..."
ph33r my rod: (( *stabs enter key* ))
Omega19x: "Maybe... maybe this is just one of Seto's conspiracies... He... he was looking for them, right?"
ph33r my rod: "...er, I guess so. But either way, it's not good."
Omega19x: *nods*
Omega19x: "Oh... did you read the paper today? They had an interesting article about Egypt."
ph33r my rod: *blink* "Really?"
Omega19x: "I read it at work. The... the tomb my father discovered... they found a new chamber inside!"
ph33r my rod: "...wow."
Omega19x: "Probably just a store room, but they're curious to see what has survived. Most tombs were raided, of course..."
ph33r my rod: "Huh. Interesting..."
Omega19x: "I bet they'll have news about what was inside tomorrow."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "I'll have to watch it."
Omega19x: "It.... it just, well, made me happy to see my dad's name in the paper... even after he's been dead for... for six years."
Omega19x signed on at 8:20:47 PM.
ph33r my rod: *gently pats Ryou's shoulder* "...I can imagine."
Omega19x: "It's exciting. I hope they find something interesting in there..."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "We'll have to wait and find out, I guess."
Omega19x: *nod*
Omega19x: "Makes me wonder if my yami knew about this tomb... Or if he robbed it..."
ph33r my rod: "Maybe back in the day, but I'd have no idea since it was only discovered just now."
Omega19x: *smiles* "I guess I have a little of my dad's sense of adventure... even if it's just a little..."
ph33r my rod: *nods and grins*
Omega19x: "When I spent the year traveling with my Dad, that tomb was one of the things he was studying. It brings back memories."
ph33r my rod: "That's pretty cool... good memories, I hope."
Omega19x: "It was exciting. He... he lecutred about it at several universities in England, and others in Europe."
ph33r my rod: (( Gah, sorry I'm being so slow. x_X;; *is half-dead* ))
Omega19x: (well, I'm having too many conversations at once, so do not worry too much.)
ph33r my rod: (( Kay. ))
ph33r my rod: "Hm..." *thinks for a minute* "...hope it's something cool. If they somehow find my old home, I can't say it'd bring back good memories."
Omega19x: "... I... I suppose not..."
ph33r my rod: *yawns a little* "Eh. We'll find out what's in it soon enough, I guess."
Omega19x: *yawns as well*
Omega19x: *and finally finishes his tea*
ph33r my rod: *looks at Ryou* "All warmed up now?"
Omega19x: "Oh yes... Quite warm. Thank you."
ph33r my rod: *smiles* "Good. ...'s cold out there."
Omega19x: "... Are you warm?"
ph33r my rod: "Mm..." *shrug* "Could be better, could be worse."
Omega19x: "True..." *wraps his arms around Malk* "Maybe we need more than one blanket down here..."
ph33r my rod: *snuggles closer to Ryou* "...maybe."
Omega19x: "... I... I wonder when it will snow..."
ph33r my rod: "Ugh. Hopefully not anytime soon."
Omega19x: "... I.. I know... then the priest will come after me..."
Omega19x: *shudder*
ph33r my rod: *protectively tightens his arms around Ryou* "..."
Omega19x: "... Maybe... maybe it will all be okay..."
ph33r my rod: "It will. I promise you it will."
Omega19x: *snuggles next to Malik*
ph33r my rod: *nuzzles the top of Ryou's head* "...don't worry."
Omega19x: *sighs*
ph33r my rod: *gives Ryou a comforting hug, gently kissing his cheek* "...if he hurts you, he's going to have to watch out for a loooot of people."
Omega19x: "I know..."
Omega19x: *snuggles up into the hug*
ph33r my rod: *yawns again, snuggling down into the couch and pulling Ryou into his lap* "Nn..."
Omega19x: *smiles, and yawns, resting his body against Malik's*
ph33r my rod: "...tired? As if I have to ask..."
Omega19x: *weak nod*
Omega19x: "it's... it's been a long few days..."
ph33r my rod: "Yeah, it has." *yawns again* "...stay with me tonight?"
Omega19x: *mutters something, almost asleep*
ph33r my rod: "..." *smiles and carefully lifts Ryou up, carrying him upstairs*
Omega19x: *has fallen asleep in Malik's arms, like an angel.*
Omega19x: (aww)
ph33r my rod: (( *goo* ))
ph33r my rod: *carries Ryou into his room and gently lays him down in the bed, then climbs in next to him*
Omega19x: *almost wakes up, but is so tired, that he stays asleep*
ph33r my rod: *pulls the covers up over them and snuggles up next to Ryou, pulling him close*
Omega19x: *smiles in his sleep. It is warm there.*
ph33r my rod: *lays there and watches him sleep for a few minutes before softly pecking his lips, then drops off to sleep himself*
Omega19x: (awwww)
ph33r my rod: (( Indeed. *puddle* ))
Omega19x: (mop.)
ph33r my rod: (( Varon: *walks by and begrudgingly mops his mun up since Isis has sone it every other time* >| ))
ph33r my rod: (( *done ))
Omega19x: (mahaado is busy. So Ryou has to mop up his own mun and then go back to sleep)
ph33r my rod: (( XDDD *pets him* Now he has to get comfy all over again~ ))
Omega19x: (not hard. Malik is a good pillow)
Omega19x: (or... has... a good pillow, yeah... that's it. Has...)
ph33r my rod: (( *gigglesnort* ))
Omega19x: (tee hee hee)
ph33r my rod: (( Rather warm, too. 8D ))
Omega19x: (oh yes.)
Omega19x: (though kura-puff is warm too.)
ph33r my rod: (( *pets Kura-puff* XD ))
ph33r my rod: (( ... "Kura fuckin' puff. Thank you, Ryou." ))
Omega19x: (I so lol'ed at that.)
ph33r my rod: (( *did too* XD ))
Omega19x: (*yawn* goodnight!)
ph33r my rod: (( Niight~ *will be crashing shortly herself* ))
