Ryou?

[...

...]

Ryou?!

[Atem can't pull back, but he can get hold of Ryou by the shoulders and haul him upright. Oh god. Oh god, why has Ryou passed out. What's happened. Ryou's chest is rising and falling -- he's definitely breathing, and Atem brings his ear to Ryou's chest to make sure his heartbeat's still strong.

It's a little fast, but it doesn't seem irregular.

Any plant-parts that may or may not have been out dart back behind their leaf like a frightened anemone. Possible poisoning's not hot!!]

Please...please be all right...!

[Ryou's going to get lifted out of the bath, wrapped in a towel, and set in a sitting position on one of their beds. Atem will, in between hovering and regular pulse and breathing checks, get himself dressed, in case he has to make an emergency trip to Crowe Clinic.

God, he hopes he won't have to go to Crowe Clinic.

But, as long as Ryou's breathing, and his heartbeat and temperature seem okay...then, Atem will wait this out...]

[There's no complaint when he's moved, not even much shifting as he's taken out of the bath. Ryou is definitely out like a light.

He remains a secure little bunrrito on his bed, breathing softly. He stays that way for a while, before tipping over half an hour later and curling up more comfortably in the towel.

Whatever's happened, he just needs to sleep it off. Unfortunately, sleeping it off takes about an hour or so, which probably does absolutely no good for Atem's nerves. The first indication that Ryou is beginning to stir is his nose twitching and his tail flicking.

Then, after a few more minutes, one eye blearily opens.]

Mmmngh...?

[Where is he...wasn't he in the bath before? It's not warm anymore...]

[A nymph, who had been seated on the edge of the bed playing Tetris, is almost immediately in Ryou's face, almost close enough to touch noses.]

Ryou! Are you all right?

[Ryou's eyes widen, and he jumps back a little, but there's not much place to go when he's all wrapped up as he is.]

Huh?! Y-yes, I'm...I'm alright, but I thought--where am I?

[Why is he not in the bath? Why are neither of them in the bath!?]

[The tetris game is tossed (gently) aside onto the bed! It doesn't matter anymore!]

You're in your room! I brought you here because you fell asleep with no warning!

...

...

You can tell that it's your room, right?

[RYOU HASN'T GONE BLIND, HAS HE? OH GOD WHAT IF HE HAS, WHAT IF SEX WITH ATEM BLINDED HIM, HE'LL HAVE TO BRING RYOU A HUMAN TO TRANSFER THE SEX INJURY TO BECAUSE ATEM WILL BE DAMNED IF HE LEAVES RYOU THIS WAY--!]

[Okay, okay, this is silly. Ryou can't tell anything while he's wrapped up in a towel, so he works on trying to free himself before he even continues on this conversational track, because Atem's freaked out, and it's freaking him out now!

After a little bit of wriggling and squirming, he's freed from his prison, and...embarrassingly naked, actually. But he's with Atem. No one else is here to see the nudist bunny who, admittedly, has an innie right now.

After a moment of glancing around he lets out a still-sleepy exhale.]

Yes...yes I can see it's my room, but I just woke up, you can't expect me to just--I fell asleep in the tub, right?

[A pause.]

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to leave you...u-unfinished.

Edited 2022-09-10 02:04 (UTC)

[?! He's thinking about that?

Atem shakes his head!]

Don't worry about that at a time like this...! I was afraid something had happened to you! When you fell asleep so suddenly...I was really worried something was wrong!

No, no. It's okay, I just felt really tired after...well, you know. When I came up for air, it was because I felt lightheaded. But...I've done this before, you know? So I don't think it's anything out of the ordinary. Except for the fact that I was holding my breath underwater to do it.

After all, we figured out you weren't poisonous to me the last few times we got intimate, so it's my own fault, for holding my breath too long.

[At least, Ryou seems sure of that. He gets to his knees, rubbing at his eyes sleepily, then scoots closer to Atem and places a hand over one of his.]

I probably needed the rest anyway. I don't know what came over me in there, you know I'm not usually so...s-so forward.

[You know. Unless they're hopped up on pink juice which BY THE WAY WAS GREAT, but holy shit.]

[He turns his hand to hold Ryou's. It's reassuring, but Atem finds himself gazing out the window, toward the obscuring, unusually-thick fog.]

I wonder if there's something else going on...if other monsters are noticing unusual behavior.

[I can't believe I'm saying this, but Atem is not going to figure out this time that the key factor is naga poison immunity.]

But...we can't really ask them, can we? Maybe someone will bring it up on the network...

[At the mere consideration of whether they could ask about anyone else being horny on main, Ryou's ears immediately fly up to their full and impressive height as his expression turns to one of alarm.]

A-absolutely not!

[So...clearly, they agree.]

I wouldn't dare want anyone to know there was any situation at all in which I was acting overly inappropriate! Not that it isn't appropriate to do that kind of thing with you, but I did kind of...spring it on you.

O-out of nowhere.

[Okay, okay. Now the ears are slowly starting to come down again.]

Atem...are you sure you weren't bothered by it? I don't want you to think I was taking advantage of you just for touching my ears. I can control myself if you do, I swear. It was just...rather a lot to be feeling, I guess?

[This is all coming out wrong. Someone please put him out of his misery. Can the mid-month trouble just move itself up to now and swallow him up?]

[Oh....they go up really high when Ryou's surprised. They're cute down, but up, wow.]

No, you weren't taking advantage!

Actually, I like it when you have a strong opinion about what you want to do...

...but, if other people are feeling this way, then someone will end up talking about it online! Don't worry -- we don't have to be the ones to bring it up.

[He's...going to file that "I like it" bit for later. But for now, Ryou contents himself with throwing himself on the bed next to Atem, his foot casually tapping against the bed.]

You're right...and until we get some kind of confirmation, we shouldn't worry too hard about it. There's other things that take priority.

Like, maybe trying to find clothes that fit me like this? H-haha...unless I'm going to just wear your shirts like a shameless, love-crazed fool.

[He sounds a little less anxious when he says this. It's...actually kind of a joke? Sort of?

No but seriously he needs clothes.]

You're right, you need clothes! While you can borrow mine as long as you need...

...it would look like I had you set up in a situation where you weren't being taken care of!

[He's not thinking of any kind of modern trafficking, he's thinking of wives in palaces of their own. If Ryou were set up for life like that, of course he would have clothes?? But Atem doesn't want Ryou shut away like that at all, and wouldn't do it even if it were possible and socially accepted. He wants Ryou with him, helping to make decisions.]

But, you'll have to wear something out to get clothes...how good are you at using the disguise power?

[Ryou can't help but laugh at that, before reaching a hand out and gently patting Atem's cheek.]

You don't have to think that. I don't think anyone would believe that...they'd just think I shrunk and didn't have the right sized clothes, you know. That is...I don't intend to wear your shirts throughout this whole temporary change, so they couldn't think anything else!

[It's said as much for his benefit as Atem's. There's nothing wrong with sharing clothes, he doesn't want it to come off weird. Don't boyfriends do that?

Either way...there's the other question to consider as well.]

But anyway...hm. I've only been a pooka for little while today. I haven't really tested my powers like this. But if it's anything like shade shapeshifting, I should be alright at it.

[He looks thoughtful.]

Who do you think I should shapeshift into?

[Because Ryou has an idea, but he's asking for an opinion first, just to pretend he doesn't.]

Oh, I think you should pick the first one!

[Especially if he's trying it for the first time in front of Atem. Ryou should have absolute freedom to pick an easymode shape, if that's what he needs.]

Well, if you insist...

[Ryou is pretty sure that pookas have limitations on their transformative abilities, just like a shade or demon might have on their possessions. But this is his first day, and he's allowed to be a dumbass, right? So...he sits up, then slides out of bed.]

Hmm...do you mind loaning me a pair of your pants, please? If this is going to work, I'm going to need bottoms as well, and I'm not going for height in a way that my usual outfits will work.

Then, we'll just have to have faith I don't mess it up, I suppose.

[Ryou isn't exactly fully confident, but he is determined, and it shows on his face, despite it all.]

Go ahead!

[He gestures to the dresser. His pants are Ryou's pants. They're even organized by style: aggressive leather for nymph, neon trunks for mer, linens for werewolf, and deep in the back there's even pants that had holes made in them for demon knee-spikes...

...and one very worn set of Domino High uniform pants.]

[Ryou nods, then walks on over to the dresser to peruse. He decides, ultimately, on the leather pants, though he kind of likes the neon trunks rather a lot!

~~Please lord give this boy some style.~~

He slides the ill-fitting pants on, then turns to Atem with a grin.]

I'll be right back, I need to get the shirt!

[And off he goes, to the bathroom. He really won't leave Atem waiting for too long, no more than a few minutes! But he's definitely up to something. There's rustling just past the doorway, and then...Ryou pokes his head around the corner.

Only it's not his head.

It's Atem's head, albeit with ridiculously huge pooka ears which Ryou has managed to color the same as his hair, and therefore made it look as if Atem had grown out the world's most out-of-control mullet, at least until the ears start moving. It kind of ruins the illusion when they wiggle in excitement.

Know what else ruins the illusion? Ryou trying to imitate Atem's laugh.]

H-heh heh heh...how's this?

[Ryou no. Ryou stop.]

--?!

!!

[He breaks into a laugh.]

You picked me?!

[He approaches, just barely holding himself back from picking up one of the big red-tipped ears.]

Is that what I'd look like as a pooka, do you think?

[Atem's charmed, thrilled, and flattered.]

[Ryou smiles as he steps more into view, wearing Atem's clothes and actually fitting into it. The power of disguises!]

I figured I'd pick something dear to me to emulate for a little while.

[Corny. Sappy. Gross.

Ryou doesn't care though. He instead hums thoughtfully at Atem's question, before reaching back and pulling an ear into view. Just because Atem isn't going to touch them doesn't mean Ryou won't.]

...It's either you as a pooka, or you with a mullet. I think I'd prefer the pooka, personally. Then again, not all pookas are rabbits. Bruno was a rat pooka during that weird monster change you started up by fiddling with the Fourth. And isn't Larry a beaver?

I wonder...would you be a rabbit, like me and Steve? Or something else?

[Right so. We're just not gonna address the mullet comment, huh. Ok, Ryou.]
