Even if it's impolite... I don't want to be known by that name right now.
no subject
It's because of that "Great Thief King Bakura," isn't it?
no subject
Yugi-kun, you know him-?!
no subject
[Yugi debates on how much to say, but if he wants Ryou to be honest with him, then he has to do the same... right?]
He was the one who tried to take my Puzzle... no, he took my Puzzle. Mahad got it back, but...
[His hand drifts down to his leg, resting just above the wound on the knee.]
no subject
[Ryou reaches out slowly, not touching the wound. He did this... In a way this was his fault.]
Yugi-kun... I'm so sorry...
[Those tears won't stop coming somehow.]
no subject
[Remembering Mahad, Yugi gently reaches up to try to dry Ryou's face.]
no subject
[His voice shakes and he has to swallow down a sob in order to say it. But he has to say it. It'll be more real if he does, but he has to say it.]
That man and I... are the same.
no subject
[Sorry, he's just really confused now, because... eh?]
no subject
[Right. Right, he has to be clear.]
Yugi, what do you know about reincarnations?
no subject
...Ohhhhhhh.]
I know that it's about a soul being born into another body later on after they die. Do you think that you're reincarnated from him?
no subject
[His hands twist into the fabric viciously.]
I'm one third of his soul... and so is the spirit within the Ring. That why... he won't leave me alone.
no subject
Ah, that's bad... but... why are you so upset, Ryou-kun?
no subject
But...
All that suffering is from my hands. Even if I didn't choose to do it... he and I are the same person after all.
And that guy...
Once he figured it out, he said something frightening.
no subject
[What could that frightening thing be... it must have been bad. But first thing's first.]
So what if that's what you were before? That's not what you are now. Ryou-kun is who Ryou-kun is! He's not a mean thief, or a bad person, and he's never hurt anyone at all!
Ryou-kun is my really dear friend, after all!
no subject
[The name is spoken in a hushed whisper, almost an exclaimation of surprise. It takes more than words to remove guilt so deep-seated, but even so... for Yugi to say something like that soothes it, dulls the guilt and leaves him wanting nothing more than to just hug the other boy.
So he does, crying into his jacket like a frightened child.]
Yugi-kun, I'm sorry! I shouldn't be thinking things like this...
no subject
It's okay, Ryou-kun. It's probably scary, isn't it? Mahad told me I was the Pharaoh he knew a long time ago... I thought it was kind of cool. But for someone mean like that... I can't really imagine how it feels.
But... just because they're a part of you doesn't mean that you're guilty! You'd only be guilty if you wanted to do and did it yourself, but you didn't. They're different from Ryou-kun, aren't they? They think differently and do things on their own.
If my other side was mean like yours... would you hate me for what he did?
no subject
[Sniff. He's bottled up this guilt for a long time now, and he can't seem to stop the tears even now. But they're almost tears of relief now.]
I've... always blamed myself for not being able to stop him. So finding out like this... just what sort of person I was back then... It's like all of my fears came to life all at once.
But... you're right... Even if that guy is 'me', he isn't me... [Sniff.]
no subject
[Yugi's hands awkwardly rest on top of Ryou's head, a shy sort of affection to try and help. His friend is hurting... but he told him, and Yugi smiles a little, trying to cheer him up even if he can't see it.]
Ryou-kun... is Ryou-kun. Bakura and the spirit... they aren't Ryou-kun. And Ryou-kun is my friend and always will be no matter what.
That's all there is to it.
no subject
[Drawing back, he rubs his eyes with the back of his hand, looking a little calmer.]
no subject
So, Ryou-kun... don't feel so sad, okay? We can go back to my dorm and play a game!
no subject
no subject
[Oof... it's a bit hard to get up, but Yugi manages it, smiling brightly even with the clear pained look on his face.]
no subject
Need a hand?
no subject
[Maybe he really should have asked Henry for the heal after all... even a small one would've helped, right?]
