They're big, all right! They go all the way down to your waist....I wonder what they look like when they go up!

[He understands that they're sensitive...so, Atem doesn't touch them too much. He just holds one gently by the tip, turning it over to inspect.

Ryou'll have a tricky time hiding them when he uses his disguise powers...maybe Atem should get him a very big hat.]

They're cute, you know. I know they're sensitive, but you won't mind too much if I pet them, will you...?

[Asking first!]

She's a kind person...it's easy to be friends with her, no matter who you are!

[Even if you've done terrible things...she'll try to understand, and to be there for you anyway.]

But, if you're nice to her, then you can't be that bad, Mr. Adrian.

[Ryou hasn't really put much thought into how the ears might affect his disguising powers, because he's never really done much to try and use those kind of powers. He has shapeshifting as a shade, but when does he ever use that?

At any rate...]

You always think I look cute, no matter what form I take. You're biased!

[And yet Ryou's casually turning in the water, with the full intention of little-spooning Atem in the bathtub. It means that now, both ears will be on full display.]

...But yes, you can pet them. You can touch whatever you like, don't I always let you?

[Said teasingly, but honestly! He likes being close to Atem, and it feels particularly right in this instance.]

I'm in love!

[He corrects, as Ryou turns around.]

That's not the same as being biased. That's having good taste!

[As he settles in to spoon, he picks one of the ears up in one hand, then takes the other and gently runs the palm down it, from where it disappears into Ryou's hair down to the tip.]

You do always let me. But it's still important for me to ask! After all, if you weren't in the mood to have your ears touched, that would be okay...

[The gentle petting continues, over the wet fur, slow -- one after the othe.]

[You know, for a guy who is definitely aware of how sensitive the ears are...Atem is really being quite thorough. Ryou visibly relaxes, his arms resting against Atem's legs below the water line.]

Mmhm, it is. Important for you to ask, I mean. But...you know, it feels nice. So if you want to keep doing it...that's okay.

[Ryou sounds entirely into it. Perhaps...a little too into it. But it's like having his hair brushed, only twice as sensitive, so why wouldn't he like it?

Still, Atem might notice the tone of that response is less than pristine. Maybe Ryou did need a bath after all, in a sense. Who gets that interested in someone petting their ears?]

[Adrian curls his lip at that, which ends up looking sortof funny since he has a lion face. It mostly looks like he has to sneeze.]

You'd be surprised.

[Look at him he's a big scary mean lion >| he's totally bad, the worst ever etc]

She kinda just found me the moment I crawled outta that sinkhole. Didn't seem bothered by me at all, bein' a complete stranger n'shit.

[Atem takes one last sip of the tea, then sets it aside. He leans forward, pressing his face into Ryou's hair, seeing if it's taken on a furlike texture again this time -- and pressing a kiss to the back of Ryou's head.

It's chaste, but that doesn't mean he didn't notice Ryou's tone.

"Not being in the mood" really was the last thing Atem had to worry about, wasn't it?]

Is it better than having your hair touched, or about the same?

[His nails are gonna get involved, now, stroking through the wet fur instead of over the surface.]

[Ryou lets out a soft, surprised breath as Atem's face presses into his hair. It's damp, but there's a very clear, fluffy texture to it, something beyond the way his hair usually feels. This feels like, once it's dried, it might feel velvety.

But all of that pales in comparison to that simple little kiss. Why does it make his skin tingle? They're just spending a little time together...but Ryou really wants to turn around and make out right then and there...to press himself as close to Atem as possible and figure out what he's really feeling.

Instead, he shudders and bites his lip to stave off a more obvious reaction as Atem's nails scrape against the thin, warm skin of his ears. Wet as they are, there's not much resistance from the previously-fuzzy fur.]

U-um...I think it's better...

[That might have come out too low. Darn it, he should have just kept his mouth shut!]

....I see!

[Yep. Okay. He can tell.

How long can Ryou keep this up, Atem wonders? He continues stroking down the ears, base to end, catching some of Ryou's hair in the process, which means a gentle tug.]

This is going to be even softer, when it's dry...I'm looking forward to it.

[And, Ryou hasn't even touched his tea...Atem pauses in the ear petting.]

But right now, I shouldn't distract you too much...your tea's going to get cold!

[He knows perfectly well he's being a shit.]

[Ohhh, not for very long, as it turns out. The more involved Atem gets with the ear-petting, the more Ryou starts to squirm under the water. He draws his legs in, one foot layering over the other as he tries to keep himself together.

This is stupid! He's not normally this easy to rile up, is he? It's just ear petting, and--oh...oh that's hair pulling, if even just slightly so. It pulls a little noise out of him.]

Atem...c-come onnnn...

[He's not thirsty. He wanted the tea before, but now he definitely has his mind on something else.]

You should stop...unless you're going somewhere with this.

Do you want me to be going somewhere with this?

[The petting resumes.

Lazily, leaning against the wall of the bath, Atem asks a clarifying question.]

Where would you like this to go...?

[He's not opposed, he just wasn't expecting a move to be made so fast...]

[Oh, that tears it.

Ryou's hands push off of Atem's upper thighs, propelling him forward--probably unfortunate, since now Atem's petting is accelerated until Ryou's ears are out of reach--so that he can turn and settle more comfortably on Atem's lap, facing him directly.

Now Atem can see exactly what he's done to his bunny boyfriend, intentional or otherwise, because Ryou looks more than a little flustered.]

In order to figure that out...we ought to drain the tub, right?

[Smooth, padless fingertips trace down Atem's chest, the nails scraping a trail down his bare skin. Ryou's holding himself back, but. He wants to touch, a little.]

[....this is very sudden. A darker green flush creeps over Atem's cheeks! Ryou's really that excited, huh...Atem only touched his ears, and not for very long...

He wants to let Ryou direct this, and take it where he wants it to go, but there's a small problem.]

Won't that be cold? You're the only one with fur here, you know!

[Unfortunately, once again, Ryou has to run the "the soil, weather, and sunlight conditions must be right or the flowers don't come out" gauntlet.]

I could just take care of you like this...I don't mind!

[Under the water, one hand comes to rest on one of Ryou's thighs. They could stay here, you know, instead of having to get out of the bathtub.

Atem is so reluctant to wake up early to bathe, and he is so lazy about getting out of the bath at night.]

[Ryou huffs a little, because Atem is being a prissy little flower about the whole thing and ordinarily that'd be cute, and he'd entertain it!

But also he's feeling pent up and the truth is...Ryou's also going to be a sassy little rabbit and demand what he wants.]

I don't just want you doing all the work! I want you...to let me do things to you, and if you don't want to empty the tub, then...

[And without much more warning, he draws in a long breath and dives under.

Atem is gonna get underwater kisses all over. What's he gonna do, stop Ryou?

(don't stop him please he wants to do things)]

What--?!

[What!! What is Ryou -- is he really -- !

Atem's hands leave the water with a splash, gripping the sides of the bathtub, as he's aggressively moved on. Should he drain the bathtub? What if Ryou inhales water?!]

--aah!

[The sound's partly pleased but mostly surprised. The flowers are starting to unfurl, though, out of sight of the camera thanks to skillful filming angles!]

You -- you really want to do this now, don't you?!

[How is Ryou this pent up? It's only been two days!]

yo im gatherin everyone up for a spa day tomorrow

bring whoever you wanna but its gonna be a day of mf pamperin

nails did hair did clothes shopped

you can say no but youd make me cry cuz we mf need a day of jus lovin ourselves

A spa day...?

Of course I'll come! But...

How much time are we going to spend in the sun?

not sure yo prolly gonna be inside a lot

massages, hair done an stuff, shoppin

but if you wanna be outside we can chill wid food outside an stuff

its all about self care yo and that includes in or out of sun as you need

If we're mostly inside, then it should be all right...my nymph temp ran out the other day, so I'm weak to sunlight again.

A sunlight weakness...would that make things difficult for the other people on the outing?

hm it shouldnt yo

we'll have to go outside to move from spot to spot but we can shade you!

ill make sure everyones taken care of an no ones weakness gets them or others hurt or in a rough spot!

But, you should have fun, too...I don't want you worrying about me! And, if something goes really wrong for all of us, and I'm out during the day with a sunlight weakness, that would be bad...

I really want to go with you, Beat! But it feels risky the way I am...I might change. You said this was tomorrow? If so, I have time...

heh brotha don worry i promise you ima have a blast too

aint nothin gonna go wrong yo no negativity aight think positive

jus a bunch of monsters gettin they nails painted

its tomorrow yo you can decide if you wanna or not aint gonna push you but consider it aight?

whens the last time you just took a day to get a massage?

Probably about three thousand years ago!

HA yeah ok well figure something out you are comin!!

[Even with his lop ears floating near the top of the water line, Ryou has a hard time hearing Atem. And, even if he had? It doesn't stop him from doing what he's doing.

He's gonna get up in some foliage, because Atem isn't pushing him off and he wants to--feels like he needs to, in fact--burn off some of this, ah...emotional investment.

So well out of sight, he goes about trying to be, shall one say, extra kind to Atem's darlingtonia. At least until he needs to surface for a breath, at which point he wades forward so that he can cuddle with Atem above water.

The thing is...he seems a little bit woozy, and instead throws himself rather weightlessly against the other monster.]

Ha...

[A breathless, single little chuckle.]

I think I stayed down too long.
