Re-inventing yourself as a person can be a very difficult process. But if you don't try, then there's no reason to keep on living.

@chntrast
Oh joy, another day of being constantly bombarded by people who had seen his movies and some of his modeling campaigns. People touching his shoulders, begging for pictures, this kind of thing happened every single day. While Jabari usually didn't mind the attention...Today was not a day where he was feeling particularly tolerant of this sort of thing.
Still, despite that, he decided to remain patient and just...Stood there, taking pictures, signing things, the usual...And then his eyes landed on a possible opportunity for a break from all of this hubub.
A young man with silver hair and big, soft eyes that was just minding his own business nearby, likely not wanting anything to do with the current chaos. Perfect, someone who didn't seem to care who he was.
Over he trotted to this unsuspecting person, flashing a relatively flirty smile and, loudly enough for everyone to hear, gave him a very warm greeting.
"Well there you are, sweetheart! I've been waiting for you~." He purred out, before leaning in close enough to whisper into Ryou's ear so nobody else would hear them.
"I'm really sorry, would you mind playing along for a minute? I'll buy you whatever you want later, I just need to get away from all these people.."
While Ryou did take note of the crowd, there was little interest on his end. He couldn't even see who all this tumult was about. He was sure the name was dropped at some point, but there was way too much noise and people talking over each other, he had turned off listening to it.
Whoever it was, Ryou felt sorry for them. Having experienced such things himself.
Regardless, it was none of his business. Or it shouldn't be. That was, until he was approached - he barely had time to be confused, with this man looking way too much like his friend, before his words divided Ryou's focus completely.
what-? That was really one of the moments Ryou was glad he knew how to not to express much when he was with strangers, otherwise his partial confusion would have been way too obvious. And he felt more than enough sympathy for this kind of situation.
" Hey Honeybun," luckily, he has experience playing characters; otherwise, this would be awkward - it was awkward, but at least he could shake that off. " Sorry to keep you waiting, ready to head to the cafe? If we don't hurry, your favorite dessert might be out again."
Oh this guy was good, playing right along as though they'd known one another all along. And he couldn't deny, this guy was actually pretty stunning to look at too.
"Oh, not a problem my darling~. I know you work hard, and besides. You know my favorite dessert is you, anyway." He responded back, it had to be believable after all. Jabari was lucky he was used to acting in movie scenes just like these, or this would feel so much more awkward than it already was.
Easily taking Ryou's hand, leaning down to press a kiss to his palm and gazing up at him through thick, long lashes, he soon stood up and offered a soft tilt of his head towards an actual cafe that was nearby.
"Shall we get going then~?"

Starter Call~!
Like or reblog for a Starter~!
"ugh, finally. A break from the acting scene...Wonder what I've missed~."
"Oh no my darling, Malik and I may look the same, but I assure you that we are very different people~." Jabari purred gently in response, arms easily crossed over his navel in a loose fashion as he leaned casually against the nearest wall.
"No, we don't talk any longer, quite the opposite, actually. But I heard a lot of his thoughts about you and your darker half, and I must say, that insolent thief couldn't even dream of holding a candle to your beauty." He was quite enjoying this little interaction of theirs so far, and it showed.
"But don't worry, I have no intention whatsoever of bringing you or anyone else any harm. I suppose it's only polite of me to introduce myself properly."
Standing up, he walked right over to the man, reaching out to gently take one of Ryou's hands and, bending elegantly at the waist, pressed a warm kiss to his palm.
"My name is Jabari. Jabari Ishtar. It's a pleasure to meet you~."
Ryou found himself relaxing further when the other man said that he wasn't in contact with Malik. Though, the compliments about his appearance was making the former host's cheeks heat up. He wasn't used to such bold flirting. "Are you usually this forward with everyone you speak with?" he couldn't help but ask.
"I-I'm really flattered, but I'm not quite used to people talking about my appearance like this..."
When Jabari finally introduced himself and kissed his hand, Ryou's cheeks flooded red all the way to the back of his ears. "P-Pleased to meet you, Jabari!"
A soft chuckle left the man at that. Could this guy possibly be any more adorable than this? That clear blush all the way to his ears was just about the cutest thing Jabari had ever seen, and his heart fluttered within his chest.
He was head over heels already, and they'd only just met. Call Jabari a softie, but he was a sucker for a beautiful man with a cute face, and that soft voice with that accent? How could he not have become immediately smitten with him?
"Hmmm, no~. Just you." He replied honestly, head tilting slightly as he spoke, soft eyes gazing at Ryou with a rather lovestruck expression.
"You know.... I thought love at first sight was only seen in movies... I should know, I'm a romance actor. But one look at you and it seems I've been proved wrong, I suppose love at first sight really does exist, considering I seem to have fallen head over heels the moment I laid my eyes on you~."
@txmedmillenniumbexst said: "So, you're the adorable little lighter half of Bakura's, aren't you~? I heard all about you from Malik, but I never got the chance to meet you myself, up until now. You really are a cutie, aren't you~?" What a lucky thing, happening to bump into Ryou by chance like this, and needless to say, Jabari was almost immediately smitten with him. He was absolutely precious, not to mention much cuter than Bakura ever could have been, with those big soft eyes and cute little face.
Ryou was a bit beside himself when Malik--or not Malik?--approached him and immediately began talking. Him and Malik weren't on the best of terms, so seeing the other man made him feel beyond anxious.
Though, somehow realizing that this wasn't "Malik" made him calm down a little bit. "Uh, you're not Malik...?" It took him a moment to realize, "So you're the 'other' Malik that everyone told me so much about...?"
More specifically, the one that everyone screamed at him was very much "more demented" than the other Malik and tried to murder everyone. And here the guy was... calling him cute?!
Despite himself, Ryou felt his cheeks flush at how forward this person was. "Um, uh, yes, I was the Spirit's former host--" Emphasis on "former."
"Malik is on speaking terms with you?" That was surprising to hear. Last he heard, the two hated each other.
"Oh no my darling, Malik and I may look the same, but I assure you that we are very different people~." Jabari purred gently in response, arms easily crossed over his navel in a loose fashion as he leaned casually against the nearest wall.
"No, we don't talk any longer, quite the opposite, actually. But I heard a lot of his thoughts about you and your darker half, and I must say, that insolent thief couldn't even dream of holding a candle to your beauty." He was quite enjoying this little interaction of theirs so far, and it showed.

"My name is Jabari. Jabari Ishtar. It's a pleasure to meet you~."
"Well then, we have no time to lose! Sounds like you're overdue for some pampering, my blue-clad friend~." After heading to get good drinks first, of course.
"You can only do so much while being stuck out in space without the stuff for a proper spa day. Side note, though, I have an amazing recipe for a very good face mask if you want to try it." Drinks and an actual spa day with a mani-pedi, that sounded like the best thing.
"Oh you poor thing, that sounds just terrible. Well come on, let's get going, we have a full day of pampering to get started!" He was wasting absolutely no time, reaching a manicured hand out to pull Lance along and get their spa day started.
"You'll definitely have to show me that face mask recipe next time, but for now, let's get you some serious spa time!"
"Oh relax, pretty kitty~. I have my ways of keeping some tabs on my lighter half, and besides~. From what I can tell, he's pretty content with your company, so you shouldn't have anything to worry about~."
A soft chuckle left him then, violet eyes being batted rather playfully as he spoke, hands upon his hips.
"I may have been an evil entity, but my job is and always has been to keep Malik safe, though I see you have managed to take my spot in that department, hmm~? Come now, relax that sour face, let's have some fun~. I know this adorable little bar downtown, they have the best drinks there, we should catch up a little."
Bakura pointedly did his best to ignore the fact that this Malik apparently found him pretty. This was fucking news to him.
"May have been...?" he echoed, finding himself more curious about this "new leaf" the other had apparently turned over. "You're fucking with me, right? You turned yourself good?"
Keep Malik safe? The bastard sure had a terrible way of showing it.
Then again... he couldn't really talk much, considering what he'd done with Ryou...
The scowl eased into something more contemplative. "You... want to take me to a bar?" he asked slowly as if trying to figure out if he was dreaming this. "...and this isn't just some wild pretext to stab me when my back's turned?"
"...Well...Yes and no. It was more like a forced exorcism by the Gods themselves, and let me tell you, it was not pretty or pleasant." He admitted after a moment of trying to figure out how to explain it.
"But no, I'm completely serious. About no longer being completely fucked in the head and yes, I would like to sit down and buy you a drink or two. After all, if you're going tobe dating Malik, then we may as well try to get along, even though I know he'll never forgive me for the things I did back then...Granted, I don't blame him. I'm glad he's...Finally found someone to be happy with, in one form or another. Even if that means I have to keep a quiet eye on him from a distance."
"Well, if you're that bored, how about a little game~?"
And no, he doesn't mean the lethal kind...But it's fun to scare Bakura anyway.
"After all, I'd love to get to know the one dating my lighter half~."
Bakura's expression soured almost immediately upon recognizing the "other" Malik. He bristled like a cat doused in cold water. "Oh Gods... I thought you were dead--" he growled.
There was a pause. "Also, how the hell did you find that out?"
"Oh relax, pretty kitty~. I have my ways of keeping some tabs on my lighter half, and besides~. From what I can tell, he's pretty content with your company, so you shouldn't have anything to worry about~."
A soft chuckle left him then, violet eyes being batted rather playfully as he spoke, hands upon his hips.
"I may have been an evil entity, but my job is and always has been to keep Malik safe, though I see you have managed to take my spot in that department, hmm~? Come now, relax that sour face, let's have some fun~. I know this adorable little bar downtown, they have the best drinks there, we should catch up a little."
"...When you're all quite finished creating a living hell for Kaiba (mad respect for that, by the way--), come see me. I'll pay for spa days, mani-pedi's and Starbucks."
"Ay carajo -- I haven't had a proper spa day in ages..." Except ones he gave himself, but that wasn't exactly the same.
"Well then, we have no time to lose! Sounds like you're overdue for some pampering, my blue-clad friend~." After heading to get good drinks first, of course.
"...When you're all quite finished creating a living hell for Kaiba (mad respect for that, by the way--), come see me. I'll pay for spa days, mani-pedi's and Starbucks."
"Gods, I'm so fucking bored, I might just go steal some shit just to have something to do..."
"Well, if you're that bored, how about a little game~?"
And no, he doesn't mean the lethal kind...But it's fun to scare Bakura anyway.
"After all, I'd love to get to know the one dating my lighter half~."
"I like October, they have pumpkin flavored things. I never knew what pumpkin Spice was until now...But pumpkin pie is good too."
Aka he's discovered the wonders of pumpkin flavored things and now he's obsessed with them.
"What is it with you people and constant drama about the Pharaoh? Honestly, I have less drama in my acting career, and that's saying something."
"You shouldn't make assumptions about someone's age, you know. Yugi's an adult, he can do whatever he likes. Oh, and um...I've seen the kind of destruction that his other friends and loved ones can bring upon those who wish him harm. I wouldn't suggest getting them angry...Or him, for that matter. He's a lot scarier than he looks."
He had never been good at expressing himself in a way that wasn't messy or erratic--so even though the words 'I missed you' were screaming out in his head, he couldn't say them out loud.
Instead, he buried his face in Jabari's shoulder and allowed himself to be held, taking in deep breaths and the other's scent, and doing everything he could to keep himself calm.
Jabari offered a soft smile as Ryou buried himself into his arms, one gentle hand moving up to tenderly stroke over the top of the man's head to help further calm and soothe him. And yet...Ryou's chaotic nature was perhaps part of the reason why he had grown so fond of him in the first place.
Like Jabari, he was not perfect. At least, not in the sense most people would think of. No, Ryou had his moments of being violent, of manic energy strong enough to destroy anything around him, and yet...Despite that, he held such a gentle kindness within him at the same time.
"You don't have to hold your emotions back around me, Azizati." It was an Egyptian form of endearment, a nickname he had come up with at the drop of a hat. After all, Ryou was his dear one, it was only fair he be called as such.
