WELCOME TO YOUR PRIVATE CHANNEL, WhiteWizard. FOR SECURE COMMUNICATION, USE 007.80.751.19 *** WhiteWizard has joined 007.80.751.19 <WhiteWizard> Hello, this is Ryou Bakura! <WhiteWizard> Feel free to reach out to me if you need anything. :) <WhiteWizard> I will get back to you as soon as possible. | ||||

Shade was the form I fell in love with you in, you know. It's not all terrible.
[A little lick, between Ryou's eyebrows.]
Whatever happens...even if it's bad...I'll forgive it.
[He can't always promise not to be mad. But he can promise this.]

[Well...he'd said he missed the jokes. There's one. It's not meant to be cruel either, but...sometimes Ryou wonders how they got this far? What did Atem even see in him to want to stick around so long? Ryou loves him, without question, but it's still something he wonders.
That wondering is not for today though. Ryou instead nudges his muzzle under Atem's affectionately, his tail twitching in a slow, languid wagging pattern.]
You'd forgive me no matter what, hm? See...that right there, that is why I fell in love with you. It doesn't matter what form you're in, your heart is still as compromising and loving as ever. I never cease to be impressed.
[Which is probably not something Atem hears very much. Ryou is absurdly biased.]

I wish I could protect you from everything -- all of the bad things that happen here. But, that's not how this place works...
...so, I need you to do everything you can to protect yourself. Okay? For when I can't get there, or don't know about it in time...even in times like that, my wish won't change!
When things get bad again...can you protect "you" for me?
no subject
[Ryou's not sure if he could squirm any closer to Atem at this point, but he tries anyway, an arm looping around his shoulder to hold him tightly.]
You're right that you can't protect me from everything. No more than I could protect you...but as long as we're both trying, that's better than giving up. I want to be strong for you, so that you can rest easy. Or...as easy as you can.
[It might not be enough...but Ryou will try his hardest.]
no subject
Atem settles in, then, stroking the back of Ryou's head, from between his ears all the way down to his neck. They'll lie as close as they can, and plan for an uncertain future as best they can, and hope that whatever hits them will be something they can weather.]
