Omega19x: *Ryou walks into Malik's room* "... How are you doing?"
ph33r my rod: *is laying on the bed, randomly staring into space, looks over at Ryou* "Okay..."
Omega19x: *climbs up on the bed* "... Do you... need anything?"
ph33r my rod: "Not at the moment... I must've rolled onto my shoulder earlier, 'cause when I woke up, it was hurting... but it's okay now."
Omega19x: "...I'm... sorry."
ph33r my rod: "...what for?" *slowly pushes himself up into a sitting position*
Omega19x: "... for you... being hurt..."
Omega19x: "... and... and not being able to stop it."
ph33r my rod: *reaches over and takes Ryou's hand* "...don't worry about that, okay? I should've been more careful... besides, it's over with now. Both of us are home, and we're okay, and..."
Omega19x: "... and you're... trembling..."
Omega19x: *holds onto Malik's hand tighter*
Omega19x: "... wh..what's wrong?"
ph33r my rod: "I..." *looks down at the blankets* "I just keep thinking about that whole thing with other me. I don't like fighting with him..."
Omega19x: "...it'll.. it'll be all right..."
Omega19x: "...If you want... next time I see... the thief king, I could try to talk to him..."
Omega19x: "... I should have said something last night when he dropped by..."
ph33r my rod: "...I don't know how that would help any, since he'll side with other me regardless of what anyone says..."
ph33r my rod: "And he's still looking for an excuse to wipe me off the face of the earth..."
Omega19x: "... he's... not that bad a person, really... Kind of like my yami. Nice underneath the gruff exterior. I don't think he'll wipe you off the face of the earth."
Omega19x: *smiles*
Omega19x: "... least not while I'm here..."
ph33r my rod: *looks over at Ryou for a few moments, then gently tugs on his hand*
Omega19x: "..?"
ph33r my rod: *scoots a bit closer to him, lightly resting his head on Ryou's shoulder* "...I just wish they'd leave us alone."
Omega19x: "... they're... kind of like family, I guess... they won't go away..."
ph33r my rod: *sighs* "I know..."
Omega19x: "I'm... sorry..."
Omega19x: "I... I wish I could take... take it all away... so that you'd never have to feel pain... or... or hurt... or... or anything like that."
Omega19x: *runs his fingers through Malik's hair*
ph33r my rod: *wraps his good arm around Ryou's waist* "I just don't know what I can do to make him respect me. I don't want him to hate me..."
Omega19x: "... give him... time, I guess..."
ph33r my rod: "...that's really all I can do." *looks up at him* "He resents me because I... supposedly 'stole' his sister from him. But... what am I supposed to do? Isis has been there from the very beginning, he hasn't..."
Omega19x: *shrug* "... I... I don't know... I wish I did know..."
Omega19x: *holds Malik very gently, and hugs him* "...then I could help make things right for you... always..."
ph33r my rod: *lifts his head up* "The most you can do is just... help me through this, I guess..."
Omega19x: "... any way I can..."
Omega19x: *kisses his head gently*
Omega19x: "... any way I can..."
ph33r my rod: *gives Ryou the best hug he can manage with one arm* "...thank you."
Omega19x: "I would... do anything for you, Malik. Anything..."
Omega19x: *holds him. Just, holds him*
ph33r my rod: "Me too..." *leans into Ryou a bit, gently kissing his cheek*
Omega19x: "... do you mind if... if I rest here with you for a while?"
ph33r my rod: "Go ahead. I'd like that..."
Omega19x: "... I guess I'm still a bit worn out... from everything."
Omega19x: "... I really should get more rest..."
ph33r my rod: *pulls away a bit and slowly lays back down, pulling Ryou with him* "More rest always helps."
Omega19x: "... thank you for letting me stay with you..."
Omega19x: *smiles, and curls right up next to Malik's good side, wrapping an arm around his waist*
ph33r my rod: "...stay with me always, Ryou." *small smile*
Omega19x: *the bishie wasn't lying about being tired. He had already fallen asleep, huddled next to the warmth of his Malik*
