ph33r my rod: Malik was in bed, not feeling well at all after everything that had happened.
Omega19x: Ryou stood at the doorway, looking at Malik. He... he felt just as bad. It was all because of him that they got sent to the shadow realm. If he hadn't been so stupid as to actually stand up to Yami Malik...
Omega19x: He just sighed.
ph33r my rod: Malik heard Ryou sigh, and he looked up at him, forcing a small smile. "Hey..."
Omega19x: "... oh... Hey..."
Omega19x: Ryou glanced away. He couldn't face Malik... not after all that happened.
ph33r my rod: He sat up, looking down at the bedspread. "...I'm sorry."
Omega19x: "... No... I... I'm sorry..."
ph33r my rod: "...what?"
Omega19x: "I'm sorry... for trying to stand up to him... and... and making everything go wrong..."
ph33r my rod: "No, I... I shouldn't have given it to him in the first place."
Omega19x: "... but I made everything worse... He... he might have just left... I... I just didn't want him to take it away from you... Not after I caused you to lose it the first time.
Omega19x: Ryou glanced down. "It's all my fault..."
ph33r my rod: "...if it's yours, then it's just as much mine."
Omega19x: "... no... t..they're right... I... I'm just paranoid and useless..."
ph33r my rod: "..." Malik dragged himself off of the bed and walked over to Ryou, wrapping his arms around him. "You're not useless. And everyone is paranoid about something..."
Omega19x: "... I thought I could help..." Ryou started to cry, holding on to Malik's sleeves.
Omega19x: (hold on.)
ph33r my rod: (( Kay. ))
Omega19x is idle at 4:17:27 PM.
Omega19x is no longer idle at 4:43:16 PM.
Omega19x: (back. Mom wanted to help me do my hair)
ph33r my rod: (( XD WB~ ))
Omega19x: "I... I really thought I could help..."
ph33r my rod: "...you tried." Malik's arms tightened around Ryou as he rested his chin on his shoulder. "I know it got us put in the shadow realm, but... we're back home, safe."
Omega19x: "... I... I can't do anything right...
ph33r my rod: Malik lifted his head to look at him, reaching up to wipe the tears from his face. "That's not true..."
ph33r my rod: "You're getting better at being assertive, and building up your confidence... when the aliens were here, you were good to them... you're good at a lot of things."
Omega19x: "...I... I tried to be assertive... and to protect you... and to be strong... But that Seth person keeps saying I was wrong, and the pharaoh is calling me paranoid... My yami won't even talk to me..."
ph33r my rod: "You did what you felt was right... even if it might not have been, you thought for yourself. It... probably wasn't fair for me to have to give it back to him, and you have every right to be paranoid... you're not being like that just for the sake of being that way. If that makes sense."
Omega19x: "This... this is why it's better that I... I don't do anything... I just hurt people..." Ryou trembled.
ph33r my rod: Malik just tugged Ryou closer, gently stroking his hair. "...you know I love you regardless of what you do, right?"
Omega19x: (MEEP! I broke my dark magician bathrobe!)
ph33r my rod: (( o_o ))
Omega19x: "... I... I'm sorry..."
Omega19x: Ryou sniffled inot Malik's shirt.
ph33r my rod: "...what can I do to make it better?" He rested his chin on top of Ryou's head.
Omega19x: "Make... make all the hurting and the pain... make them go away..."
ph33r my rod: Malik let go of him, reaching down to take Ryou's hand. "Come here..." He walked over to the bed and climbed back up on it, tugging Ryou down next to him.
Omega19x: Ryou was tugged, falling onto the bed.
ph33r my rod: Malik wrapped his arms around him again, letting out a sigh. "I don't... if I could take your pain away, I would in a heartbeat. But all I can do is ease it..."
Omega19x: Ryou trembled, still sniffling. "I... I'm sorry..."
ph33r my rod: "It'll be okay..." Malik gently kissed his forehead. "Just let everything out, if you want to..."
Omega19x: "... No... t..that's okay... I... I've been so wrapped up in how I feel... I... I never even asked you... I... I'm sorry..." Ryou curled up, just burying his head.
Omega19x: "... I'm sorry..."
ph33r my rod: "... I'm okay, Ryou..." Malik held him tightly. "Really. I'm more worried about you now, then about how I was feeling before..."
Omega19x: Ryou just let himself be held. "Are... are you sure?"
Omega19x: "I... I don't want to hurt you again..."
Omega19x: (and pretty soon, I'll have to get in my dress.)
ph33r my rod: (( Meep, kay. ))
ph33r my rod: "I'm sure... I mean, I'm feeling kinda down on myself, but seeing you like this when you tried to hard to do what you thought was right..." Malik sighed. "It makes my feelings seem like not that big of an issue, anymore."
Omega19x: "... That's... I'm worse than I thought... I... I don't mean to do that to you... I... I never did..." Ryou buried his head and cried. "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
ph33r my rod: "No, no, I... I didn't mean it like that, Ryou." Malik hugged him tightly, gently rubbing his back in an attempt to soothe him. "I meant that... I should be trying to make you feel better instead of being upset over my own problems."
Omega19x: "... but... I... I want to... to make you feel better..." he sobbed.
Omega19x: "I want to be your protector... your hero... your... everything... I can't do anything right..."
Omega19x: "How you feel DOES matter! It matters to ME!"
ph33r my rod: Malik could feel the tears coming, but he tried to hold them back. "...sorry. I just..." He sighed again, unable to hold them back any longer.
Omega19x: And two crying bishies held each other on the bed.
