HE LIED, LIKE A LIAR

[curseofnecrofear]

Kaiba’s kindness continues to surprise Ryou. Not that the man wasn’t capable of kindness. But rather how conscious he was of Ryou’s emotional state. The tissues were taken with a soft thanks. And he was right, proof was in both of them. Maybe more so in Kaiba that good people don’t always win in this life. Ryou knew he sinned and has continued to sin. He had no right to ask for kindness despite crying out for it.

The tears are wiped away as he listens to Kaiba. It was reasonable for him not to seek them out until he returned from his dimension trip he supposed. Now that he experienced how dimension jumping was, Ryou could see why Kaiba seeked him out. They weren’t easy to do, even with Kaiba’s technology. Ryou also had the benefit of having Kaiba’s technology being more advanced than Kaiba’s initial jump. God only knows how much strain and agony he suffered just to see that cursed King again. The small amount of pain he suffered was nothing compared to what the CEO felt. At least from their conversations together.

It still felt bitter however. Even with knowing the reality of the situation it still hurt Ryou that they were together. While he stood alone for the past three years, nursing this unholy agony in his body. Ryou clenches his fist as he thinks of this though they become unclenced when he hears Kaiba’s proposal.

“What for?” It wasn’t a demanding tone, but rather a soft question. What was Diva needed for at this moment? He looked around, as if searching around the hospital room would give an answer. 

[indioragod]

Okay, at the very least Ryou didn't seem offended by the idea, or screaming at him to not. Little victories.

"Because you two keep dancing around each other--which I get why now but--look, I'm rubbish with this kind of thing," he waved his hand vaguely in the air but what he meant was interpersonal conflicts and emotions.

"But you should hear what he has to say himself. Then..."

He wouldn't expect things to be fine after that but whatever would occur would have to be better than what was going on right now.

"Maybe you two could at least not wreck my building. If you'll allow me to, don't say a word until it's over, alright?"

The only way to get Diva to talk entirely freely and honestly was if he thought Ryou was still unconscious. Nothing a few lies couldn't take care of.

[indioragod]

"What if I want to drink your blood?" Ryou purrs, his lips coming close to kiss the exposed skin. "Then what?" He could bite him right now. And leave him with a mark, showing to others he belonged to Ryou.

With his fake teeth he could... but that would hurt Diva too wouldn't it? And not in a good way. So instead Ryou elects to give him a small hickie. It was a good trade off.

@curseofnecrofear

"Then I'll have to go get some garlic is it? To keep you at bay!"

He wasn't very familiar with spooky tales, mythology, and folklore. Not like Ryou was. But Diva was 80% sure it was garlic that vampires didn't like! And he'd douse himself in it if he had to!

"R-Ryou!" Diva blushed.

Well, at least that was better than causing a bloody mess.

[indioragod]

"There's no amount of 'sorry's' that can make up for what I tried to do. All things considered, it's a bit of a miracle that I'm not locked up somewhere as some kind of mutant supervillain. Sure, I didn't really exist before Kaiba's 3-person tournament but I certainly did after. I'm sure he had some video footage of me."

[indioragod]

A very hungry vampire comes into the room. Like a moth to a light Ryou comes over in a quiet trance of the other's beauty. "Diva." His arms wrap around the man, giving him a warm hug from the back. He's eyeing the man's neck for substance.

In actually Ryou wasn't at all a vampire. He merely dressed up like one for a party he had come back from the museum. He was simply too lazy to remove it. He was also a little buzzed, hence his more affection tone and mannerism this evening. "Let's cuddle." He murmurs against the man's neck.

@curseofnecrofear |

Diva had been in the middle of making pumpkin bread for the season. While Halloween wasn't something he grew up celebrating he could certainly appreciate all the pumpkin-flavored things from the season. The toothpick he'd tested the loaf with came out clean, thankfully.

"Heh, I can't believe you're still in your costume. I hope you had a good time."

He also didn't know much about vampires really, but Ryou made a convincing outfit But he was happy to see Ryou being involved with his coworkers at the museum.

"Sure, we can as soon as I clean up after my baking mess. Just so long as you don't drink my blood!"

[curseofnecrofear]

Ryou smiles a tired smile at Kaiba. “I told you, it runs deep. It’s not a simple matter that’s separate.” Every action, every in action. It all led up to this point in time. “I will explain from my side of things. I can’t speak for Diva.”

So he starts. Just like how he told Diva when he politely reminded him of his past, Ryou starts with his father running off to Egypt and Ryou having a bad feeling about it. How his father tried to gain a moment of happiness only for Ryou to become the bearer of the Ring. “The Ring rejected my father and he died from the injuries. But the Ring loved me. I was the master it was waiting for.”

The Ring.. no. Ryou, let it run amuck and cause destruction. Rightfully earning Diva’s wrath. “I did feel sorry for my actions. I still do. But Diva didn’t let it slide. He wanted to punish me.” So he was thrown into some dimension away from where humanity was meant to be. A sandy plane of existence where he met him again.

Though that was a secret to Diva, and now to Kaiba too. Ryou kept that little tidbit to himself. “The rest you know. you and Yugi saved the day, Diva gets to live his life happy and free. And I’m.. here. Suffering for all of your actions.”

He closes his eyes for a moment. “You said you didn’t know what happened to him. You liar. But I’m sure you have your reasons.” Like how Ryou kept being a bully towards the man. Oh how he hated how he was living a happy life. While Ryou still struggled along.

“It’s not fair.” When his eyes open tears are falling down. “It’s not fair. It’s not fair at all.”

[indioragod]

Seto rubbed his temple as if that would alleviate the headache this clusterfuck was that Ryou had revealed to him. He had many questions and suspicious on some of the matters but he would keep it to himself. Though much to his surprise, much of it was new information. He knew of Diva's master and his attempts to follow the teachings of the mysterious man but other than that not much.

"Bad things happen to good people. And sometimes good things happen to bad people. The world is not as just as we'd like it to be."

He reaches for the box of tissues and offers them to Ryou.

"I didn't know at first. Him and his crew hit the road fast. The cube was left behind though, so I found little use in trying to track them down after their power had been taken. It wasn't until my own... predicament that I sought their location out. Diva and his siblings had made it back to Egypt. In a cramped little place trying to live as normal of a life as they could without getting noticed by any sort of government that may want to arrest them--or perhaps maybe they were mostly hiding from me."

Ha. Who was to say, really?

"He's kept much of his thoughts on this matter to himself around me but..." Seto sighs. He was not qualified for this. He was no conflict counselor, he was horrible with emotions he--maybe he should just show Ryou.

"If you could just humor me for a moment, would you allow me to call him? He's recovering in another room."

[curseofnecrofear]

He remained still as the restraints were removed. Kaiba’s fingers brushed against his skin made him yearn for warmth. Ryou was already asking too much from the other. Truthfully he should have gotten rid of Ryou. It would be better for this world if he was gone. But Kaiba persisted on this notion of living for a future.

Diva seemed to be the same. Despite what transpired between them, both in the past and what must’ve been hours ago, the man didn’t turn Ryou in. Instead he insisted on speaking with Kaiba and their own issues. “He’s a fool.” Ryou muttered softly. His eyes open once more to see Kaiba looking down at him with a cup in hand.

Ryou reaches for the free hand and gently takes Kaiba’s wrist. “Help me up please. Then… I’ll tell you.” There wasn’t any use of hiding it. Not that Ryou was particularly hiding his displeasure related to Diva. But the other man did, even now he was pushing for Ryou to say it. If that’s what the man wanted then fine.

Ryou will spill his anger towards him. 

[indioragod]

“Pssh. What else is new? But right now you’re both fools from where I’m standing.”

Diva had spoken about Ryou a few times. It came up when they had been reminding about old times. The attempts at getting rid of Kaiba, the puzzle, and Yugi had all made sense to Seto.

But as for why Bakura had been abducted, he didn’t know. Frankly, he didn’t even realize until Yugi was incessantly whining about getting Ryou back. He’d thought perhaps it was just a random choice of hostage.

‘I had… a twisted sense of justice directed at Ryou Bakura. It was only later that I realized it wasn’t his fault, but my anger gripped tight to the idea that he deserved all I did to him.’ Diva had said once. It only left Seto with more questions than answers.

“Fine. Be careful,” Seto warned before aiding his former classmate.

[curseofnecrofear]

He grunts a bit as he’s pulled forward. But he sits just fine now, thanks to Kaiba’s help. He’s not completely wrong, Ryou certainly was a foolish man. And Kaiba never made it a secret. But to hear him say that about Diva too… that surprised him.

“And yet you hired us both.” Ryou retorts in a playful tone. He takes a long drink from the cup. It feels refreshing, like he hasn’t had water in days. The coolness and the crisp taste brings life back into his body. Even if it does feel a bit painful to swallow thanks to the breathing tube and the goop monster that was cut out of him. You win some, you lose some he supposed.

“It’ll be difficult Shachou.” He starts after he puts the cup back down. Ryou stares at it as it’s fiddled in his hands. “It’s a personal issue that teeters into our current problem. If I remember right you said no need to get into personal things.” But it’s been made personal. It always has been, since the start of this whole journey. From Diva’s actions to Ryou’s inactions. It was always about their method of coping in life. And how it effected those around them.

[indioragod]

"Believe me, it was out of necessity not choice," Seto replied with a roll of his eyes and a good-natured scoff. "You two drive me mad."

It was true what he said of course. He hadn't intended for any of this. Yet here the three of them were.

"I think we're well past trying to keep matters separate."

Kaiba anticipates this will all take a while so he drags over the spare chair in the room.

"I don't need to know everything. Just explain how your issues with Diva created another mess in my building that nearly got people killed. That's what I care about. The rest you two can maintain your privacy."

He didn't wish to pry. After all, he'd hate someone knowing all of his business.

[curseofnecrofear]

He remained still as the restraints were removed. Kaiba’s fingers brushed against his skin made him yearn for warmth. Ryou was already asking too much from the other. Truthfully he should have gotten rid of Ryou. It would be better for this world if he was gone. But Kaiba persisted on this notion of living for a future.

[indioragod]

It's time once again. Hurried steps rush through the apartment along with something heavy being dragged. A kick to the door followed by it being slammed against the wall. It's Ryou, completely covered little toy spiders, skull and spider web fluff.

"IT'S TIME FOR SPOOKS!" Like the year before, he throws candy and the little toy skulls at both Diva and Seto.

@curseofnecrofear

"GOOD GODS ON A POGOSTICK!" Diva shouted.

And of course, they had both been in the middle of some delicate project before the interruption, one that held their full attention leading to the intrusion startling them both.

Seto scooped up some of the projectiles and hurled them back at Ryou.

"You're picking these all up once you've had your fun!"

[indioragod]

"You could always, ya'know. Leave," Diva said helpfully.

This guy's voice sounded oddly familiar.... he couldn't quite place it though. He didn't think he'd met anyone who looked like him before so why did he feel like he'd met this fellow?

[curseofnecrofear]

The yell was for Ryou to stop his struggling. Even in his dazed state he recognized the voice was commanding for order. So his body stills again until he’s spoken to.

Ryou looks to where the voice came from and he could barely make out the top of Kaiba’s head. Like his arms and legs, his neck was tettered down onto the medical bed. What Kaiba said made sense, although Ryou felt more like a prisoner than a patient at the moment. “Yes.” He croaked out very weakly.

His throat felt sore and painful. Most of his body did but his throat felt especially sore. His head still felt light from the anesthesia that still ran in his body. There wasn’t any use in fighting it so he closed his eyes again. “Water. Water please.” The young man asked. “Diva.. and I spoke.” A painful coughing fit hits him. His whole body shakes as he coughs up what felt like more of that disgusting black tar in his throat.

[indioragod]

Great, at least Ryou could hear and comprehend some of what he was saying. When that thing took over there was no telling what did or didn’t get through so at least there was that.

“Leave us please,” Kaiba asked the nurse.

He found a plastic cup in one of the cabinets and filled it up at the small sink in the room. Undoing the upper half of the restraints until Ryou could sit up more and take the cup from him.

“Drink slow. I don’t want you throwing up anything else.”

One huge biohazard was enough for one day.

“He told me, briefly. He didn't say much.” In truth, the ex-Plana had remained very vague. Just saying that the conversation they were having became a bit heated and then the thing took over Ryou’s body and spawned the mess that they were still trying to scrape out of the hallway.

“Listen. I know you two have some kind of past issue that I’m not privy to and I’m not asking to be. But hate him or not this predicament we have will be solved a lot quicker with his help. But if things can’t be cordial between you two then I’ll separate you all. If I’m missing something fill me in because Diva wouldn’t elaborate, just told me to ask you.”

[curseofnecrofear]

The last thing Diva would see was Ryou’s unconscious face staring back at him. Dull, almost devoid of life. Empty shell of a person as Kaiba tried to figure out what to do at the moment.

What Ryou could see, or feel(? he never knew what to call this strange in between consciousness and unconsciousness) was shadows of people. Muffled voices of nurses and others coming in. The anesthesia along with his injuries made it difficult to stay conscious. He’d always fight it, struggling to open his eyes or say something to the hundreds of voices that spoke to him. About him, around him.

Only for him to succumb to unconsciousness again. 

When he does awaken, fully awaken, he jumps on his bed with a startle. His wrists and legs were bound down onto the hospital bed. Throat felt tight with something in it. An oxygen mask covered most of his face.

The door opened, a nurse who was in charge of his care yelled. “No! I mean yes! I mean please calm down sir!” She turns her head away to scream for help. Ryou Bakura had awakened.

[indioragod]

Kaiba was exhausted from playing damage control. He thought those two had gotten to the point where they could at least be cordial but something must have happened going by Diva’s brief explanation of what led up to this incident. He’d given the ex-Plana quite the tongue lashing after that. Stupid idiot kept trying to get up before having adequate time to heal.

His medic said it would likely be a while until Ryou became conscious again but soon enough he’s thrown back into putting out metaphorical fires as a scream echos through the hall.

Seto barges in a moment later, expecting the worst, for there to be another tar monster of some kind or, or--

But it was just Ryou.

“It’s fine, he’s fine--calm down!” His commanding voice makes his nurse staff fall silent and created an air of calm.

“Ryou, it’s me. You remember what happened?” he questioned with a slow approach to where his ex-classmate lay. “The doctor didn’t want... you know-- to hurt you again.”
