Ryo Bakura

Shit, I'msosorry.

From:

I'm not mad at you.

From:

I'm mad at me though. I wanted to protect you from that. It's my world, not yours. You're better than that.

From:

I'm not a very good person, Malik...you don't need to protect me from that.

From:

You're not an addict, though, and I don't want you to ever go through that.

My sister's visiting. She's going to help me get clean again.

From:

I won't, I promise.

That's good! ^^ Is she going to help Marik, too...?

From:

I really do like you, Ryou.

She's going to try. She's not staying for long, I don't think, so he'll probably just go right back to it.

From:

I like you, too.

That's... I hope she can make a lasting impression on him.

From:

Is... there really no chance for us?

Me too.

From:

That isn't fair, Malik.

From:

Why? Why isn't it fair? I'd do whatever, Ryou. Just give me a chance.

From:

Because it's not about just you and me. It never was.

From:

It should be, though. Who's in the way? My brother? I can tell him no. ~~That may not stop him, but I can turn him down.~~

From:

You told me he wouldn't care if you told him no, and I wouldn't put you in danger. He'd kill me if he got the chance, anyway.

From:

Yeah, yeah.

From:

That doesn't matter to you?

From:

It does. I'm just tired of being alone and knowing that it's always going to be this way.

From:

...

I don't want you to be alone....

From:

Tough shit. I just need to learn to live with it.

From:

Yeah, yeah. You owe me.

From:

But how do I repay that?

From:

Buy me cigarettes for a month?

From:

All right. ^^

From:

... seriously?

From:

I do owe you...

From:

Do you have any idea how much I smoke?

From:

A little more than I do?

From:

How much do you smoke?

From:

It depends. Sometimes two packs a day.

From:

Ah.

From:

Ryou, pick up your damn phone.

From:

...Hi...

From:

Where are you.

From:

I'm just at Zorc's. I'm on my way home; I just slept a lot longer than....

I'm sorry, I should've called.

From:

You didn't call, you didn't pick up your phone. You were supposed to just be going to a movie, Ryou.

From:

I did. I mean, I was, but I went to Zorc's after....

C-can we talk about this when I get home?

From:

How can I even believe that you'll come home this time? And how did you go from Malik to Zorc?

From:

I'm on my way home now. And it's--a long story. He picked us up at the theater and dropped Malik off at his house.

From:

Why did you need picking up? And why didn't you come home, or at least call--(loud sigh) Fine, we'll talk about this when you get home.

From:

(mumbles) I'm sorry, Diabound. I love you, I'll see you soon.
