[Ryou's eyes are dim and half-closed. There's nothing betrayed in that gaze, he's just tired. Not physically, but mentally. So when he's kissed, he melts back and lets Atem do as he likes. Whether the contact is quick and simple, or whether the kiss is deep and heated, it doesn't matter. Ryou just wants to be loved by someone in the face of the situation he'd created...where the wrong people were scared of him, and he had broken so many relationships.
The Fog...it's both her fault, and not her fault. He can't blame her for his choices. That's as damning as anything Daniel had said on the network recently.
No...this is Ryou's choice.
Just like it's his choice to reach a hand up into Atem's hair and kiss him back, faintly.
As he does...he remembers what she told him the last time they spoke:
"Children will always quarrel. That is the way of the world.
If you want them to pay, my pet, then you are free to punish them as you see fit."
Soon...soon enough he will. He has to, or he's afraid his skull might split clean in two and release a worse monster than he could ever be on his own.]
