[It took a little while for Ryou to calm down after Yugi convinced him to get off the network and stop being embarrassing. It wasn't...necessarily that Yugi had put it that way, but once he'd sobered up some, Ryou came to the realization that a great deal of his conversations were perhaps a little too revealing about how his current state of mind was, at least regarding the gods.
...And maybe his relationships with people who he'd responded to. Most importantly though, was the undercurrent of stress that had been vaguely revealed by a few drinks. He's pretty sure that he won't be bringing his laptop to Yugi's apartment anymore while he's trying to destress, because at the end of the day...he's next to his own apartment and he could get online easily enough.
At any rate...he'd played games with Yugi until he felt ready to go home, which was pretty much around dawn. As a result, when he finally shows back up to the apartment, he's in his day form.
He's not sure why...but he enters quietly, as if he expects Atem to be sleeping. Which he shouldn't, because nephilim.
His nose twitches as he samples the air--he's gotten pretty good at locating by scent, and it helps that Atem smells very nice. So wherever he is, if he's not immediately visible...Ryou will find him. And then probably ask for a hug. There's no doubt that he needs one--the way his tail curls around his leg, the lowered ears and the awkward way he rubs at his arms...it's pretty obvious that he isn't at his best.]
Action (FINALLY), few hours after Ryou's network post, cw; alcohol mention
