You could. I wouldn't be bothered if you did.

[He's definitely not bothered by Atem's fingers settling at the back of his neck. There are benefits to still having short hair, though it has been growing out some.

He is trying so very hard not to close the distance, to let himself sit in suspense there, but only because he trusts Atem to break the tension with something nice. Right? As a consolation, he reaches forward, sets his hand on Atem's knee, though with the size of his hand, he has to curl his fingers inwards just a bit to remain marginally appropriate.

...They can play more games later, maybe. Yep. Not now though.]

[Ryou does see a little of the emotional shift on Atem's face, it'd be hard not to when they're this close, but he's pretty distracted by the actual proximity that the range of emotions doesn't really register.

Atem wouldn't play with him like that, right? Ohh, if he did Ryou would pout something fierce, and maybe that would be a reaction Atem wanted to see, but it doesn't matter, because after that laugh they're kissing, yes! Ryou immediately relaxes into it, his pointed ears slowly lowering. The hand on Atem's knee migrates to his waist instead and Ryou's fingers curl loosely around the small vampire's back.

Unsurprisingly...wish granted. He's pretty easy to make happy, he's come to find, and aside from simply existing in Atem's general vicinity while they go about their day, it's been nice to do these kind of things. Boyfriend things. This was something Ryou hadn't...well, he hadn't quite looked down on it, but he didn't understand it either. Now he really does see why people can't help but want to stay by their significant others. He can't imagine doing anything else for the next...month? Year? Forever?

Ryou please.]

[PG kissing is welcomed for quite a while, especially when aided by the fingers stroking through his hair. Ryou really likes Atem's fingers in his hair...there's a pleasant warmth that travels from his scalp to his chest...to pretty much everywhere when his hair is tugged even slightly. He ought to meter his reactions more, so that Atem doesn't get that good a read off of him since they've been starting to get closer...sometimes even a bit more daring with what they're doing.

Oh, not now though. This is relaxing, all-encompassing, and maybe later on it'll get a little more...aggressive, but they'd only just started to play a game, hadn't they?

So after what feels like...honestly an entirely too short amount of time, Ryou does pull back, and the look in his eyes is ridiculously affectionate. He looks as if he's ready to pull Atem into the world's tightest, most needy hug and then kiss every inch of his face. But he doesn't. Instead he keeps his fingers settled at the small of Atem's back.]


Couple more rounds...?

[...Of dice. He's definitely talking about liar's dice.]
softspokenlandlord: (11)

alright we're BACK!!! now with more timeskip!

[personal profile] softspokenlandlord 2021-10-15 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
[They play out a few more games of dice, with Atem netting three wins and Ryou managing two, before finally Ryou decides he's feeling peckish. He doesn't particularly mind whether Atem wants something to snack on or not as eating normal food is generally a Ryou activity, but it does provide Atem an opportunity to get himself a "drink" if he wants one. Ryou contents himself with a sizable anpan he picked up recently, because of course it's something sweet. Of course.

Never mind the baked goods he has in the fridge and freezer.

Once they're both settled, Ryou glances over at Atem thoughtfully.]


Hmmm...there's still plenty of evening left...but I want to take a breather before we play any more games, if that's okay.

[He loves games, but it's more fun when you take breaks before transitioning! You don't burn yourself out or get all sore if you're constantly losing.]

So a movie, then, I suppose. Ah...is there any movies we haven't seen yet, or did we run through them all while I was stuck as a shadow beast?
softspokenlandlord: (514)

these are all perfect fffh

[personal profile] softspokenlandlord 2021-10-19 08:27 am (UTC)(link)
It has the word "ghost" in it, I think that should be enough.

Hm. We could do Vandare Chainsaw Massacre, then maybe Hell-lifter. At least one of those sounds like a slasher, so I'd be alright with that.

[Behold: your boyfriend. Weirdo. Big, stupid weird ghost.]

If we really wanted to, we could make a drinking game out of it. I bought alcohol.

[...Son of a bitch did he just propose a game? They will never escape the binding rules of a competition. But in Ryou's mind, this isn't the same.

This will be different. Drinking games are for adults! Somehow...that makes it not the same as playing Liar's Dice.]

...You did? I didn't see anything--oh.

[Oh. Ohhh Ryou hasn't looked in the fridge, has he? Maybe he should have. Now he's equal parts curious and equal parts embarrassed, so he hides behind his anpan, taking a slow bite.

Just give him a moment to sort himself out. Nice things being done for him still short-circuits him from time to time. Yes. Even on his birthday.]

i have to reuse the icon it's so perfect

[Ryou gets the idea eventually, stands up while still holding his anpan like therapy pet. Nice things for him? Nice things for him?! This is absurd.

He moves towards the fridge, then pulls it open.

He sees the wine.

And stares at it. That's for him. That's...for him?! Oh...look, there's a little Joker card and everything! Argh, don't look at him, don't look at his ears trying to figure out what emotion they're attempting to convey, wiggling and moving down.]


Um...uh...Thank...you?
softspokenlandlord: (56)

[personal profile] softspokenlandlord 2021-10-21 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Haha. Hahahaha.

Ryou takes an unnecessarily huge bite out of the anpan because...because he doesn't know why!! He's nervous! All of that's for him?! He already bought so much, what is he going to do with all these sweets?

(Eat them. Eat them all. He'll die a happy young man.)

It takes him a moment to decide what to do, but eventually he chews and swallows that ridiculous mouthful of anpan, shoves the rest of it in his mouth like a piece of toast, grabs the bottle of icewine and one of the pastry boxes, then walks back over to the couch and sits. All of this is done stiffly, because he's flattered and nervous and this is the best birthday ever but being doted on evidently ruins him.

He sets the items down on the coffin-table, then moves to pull the remainder of the anpan he'd been holding between his teeth away.]


You. You ah, planned this very well.

[Said faintly, and his eyes are pretty wide. He's still trying to figure out how to properly thank Atem, and he'd been so worried about that task that he hadn't even gotten glasses for the wine.

...He just leans on Atem. Processing.]

[personal profile] softspokenlandlord 2021-10-22 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
D...did I? I guess...

[He's still pretty touched by all of this to the point of inarticulacy, but he's clearly happy. He can't help the shy behavior though, the way one clawed foot settles over the other, like he's trying to comfort himself by becoming smaller somehow, or how he takes another bite of his snack that's too big and chews it thoughtfully for a few seconds before swallowing and responding again.]

I would have been happy just being here with you. But all of this is very nice.

[He glances at Atem fondly. He has no idea what he did to deserve any of this. Honestly, he hadn't done enough to deserve Atem in the first place...but his kindness was on another level.]

[personal profile] softspokenlandlord 2021-10-25 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. Right!

[Ryou takes the movie, flips it over and reads the synopsis thoughtfully while finishing off his anpan. Oh, yes. Definitely a slasher. Hmm.]

It sounds as if this is going to be...a mess. I mean the title alone would lend to it but typically that means the people are messy as well.

I say take a drink every time someone gets hurt, anytime someone makes a decision that runs against common sense, and every time someone dies.

...Is that okay?

[He's never made a drinking game before, so he can only hope it's okay.]
softspokenlandlord: (dsod22)

[personal profile] softspokenlandlord 2021-10-26 03:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[While Atem gets the wine ready, Ryou sets up the movie. His part takes a little longer since he's fast-forwarding through previews, but eventually he makes it back to the couch.

Before he settles in though, he opens the pastry box he'd picked out of the fridge and...hell yeah, macarons! He only takes two, before curling next to Atem to watch the title crawl.

Don't get him wrong, he's excited to try the wine, but...surely the cast wouldn't do something drinkworthy within the first fifteen minutes, right?

...Right?

(Spoiler: They do TWO.)]
softspokenlandlord: (dsod27)

[personal profile] softspokenlandlord 2021-10-26 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ryou pops one of the macarons in his mouth, which oh my god may be a dumb idea? It's super sweet!

...But no. No regrets he's gonna enjoy the hell out of it. It's his birthday, he can do what he likes!

He's done with the second one by the time all of the nonsense unfolds, and while he's not entirely against Atem's logic, he can't keep his own opinion to himself here. He is the horror boy.]


Oh come on, they should have made him leave the van sooner than that, let's be honest. Even by normal standards, allowing him to stay in the vehicle that long was...more than inadvisable. Bet he'll come back later as an antagonist.

[Ryou's seen and read enough horror to know picking up a hitchhiker and letting him be weird in your van is ridiculous okay?

So he reaches one conveniently long arm forward for his glass and...in the interest of compromise, takes a single drink.

He proceeds to then miss the teens arriving to the gas station because he has opinions on this wine.]


...This is really good, where did you get it from?

[No worries about the movie. Someone will start screaming eventually, right?]
