Ha ha! No -- never!

[Never bored! Never bored of Ryou!]

It's the opposite! You make it easy to accept your weird interests...it's a good thing when you're around the things you like, Ryou.

[He does mean the specific "you" here. Ryou Bakura, specifically, should be surrounded as many skull stickers and black candles and Ouija boards as he wants. Bury him in weird throw pillows.]

Actually, your enthusiasm makes it easier for me to figure out what I like, too.

[Ryou's style...it's been a jumping-off point for his own, and it's less overwhelming than looking at everything you can possibly put into an apartment all at once and telling yourself to develop individual, specific aesthetic taste outside the utilitarian all at once. He can look at what Ryou does and think yes, I like it or no, I don't.

And even the things he doesn't personally agree on, like the eyeball pillows, help too. Having them out makes Atem feel like he's free to bring in things that are just for himself. Besides, he doesn't have enough of a problem with them to move them. Looking at them makes him feel very fond of his heartbreakingly gorgeous, secret horror fan roommate.

...if my intentions really were to eliminate you, you'd never know. You'd probably be convinced you were just about to strike it rich!
