november 3rd | clinic | open to one trafalgar law

He wakes. He wakes and all his being pushes him to scream, it is not possible for someone to withstand so much pain, so much cold. But he does not utter a sound. His body shivers from the cold, and he frantically looks around trying to get his bearings, trying to locate him, Yukari. He doesn't remember anything, just pain, and so much red, and the need to hurt that man as much as he possibly could, to stop him from going after someone else, then nothing, just nothing. He tries to sit up, failing completely, the ache down his chest forcing him to fall back onto the mattress and finally making him blurt out a pained cry.

It's been so long since he's felt this torment, this body is was not designed to endure so much punishment, it was a temporal vessel for his wandering soul. Why must he go through it all over again? Wasn't he done? Wasn't his time up? Why have they abandoned here...? Was he never good enough to move on, to go back home? -- Why is he here?!

Please end it, anyone, please just, end him.


november 3rd - 12th | clinic | ota

He should probably be sleeping instead of forcing himself to stay awake and even more so, forcing his dominant hand to play chess on his phone, or even to reply a few messages. Hell, he can barely hold the stupid phone, but he needs the distraction. Every time he goes to sleep, he sees his face, and then he remembers how stupid he was to give his trust away, again.

Meh, just meh...


november 13rd - 14th | imported house 6-1 | open to bakura and anyone who asks idk (someone bring food to this child omg)

Not being able to stay at the clinic any longer, because it is so damn depressing, Atem finally convinces them to let him go home, under the solemn promise that he would not do anything stupid. Like going outside and look for Yukari.

Being drained from the past days, he often finds himself simply sleeping, indulging into tiredness and allowing his vessel to regain its strength (not that he has many options controlling that...). But more than once, he finds himself bored to death and trying to get a hold of his cards, he can't. Having sliced through his fingers, trying to avoid Yukari's blade to go any further into his shoulder has made it impossible for now. It is so frustrating, so painful!


Dammit!

It wouldn't be the first nor the last time during these days that he's absolutely tempted to toss his deck of cards to a close wall due sheer resentment, but he doesn't... Picking them up would be yet another pain in the ass.

With that attitude, you know why I don't bother trying to talk to you.

[It's the same attitude that had shut down his first attempt to have a conversation with Atem about the Null. People don't change overnight and Bakura attributes Atem's lassitude now more to pain and exhaustion than any desire to actually treat him as anything other than an enemy.]

[Bakura just rolls his eyes, which probably doesn't help the situation. But he can hardly be blamed; it's simply the same pattern of Atem dismissing his words that he's always dealt with. He honestly doesn't anticipate the Pharaoh changing his behavior any time soon.]

Never mind. I'd probably have to hit you over the head with a brick before you realized. And as tempting as that is, you're a horrible whiner when you're hurt.

Clearly you don't listen to yourself then either.

[Atem may not want to acknowledge it, but his behavior is very near to whining and Bakura isn't amused by it in the slightest. In his opinion the Pharaoh has acted pretty immaturely through the whole of his convalescence, though he doubts that Atem even sees it that way. Still, he can acknowledge, privately at least, that Atem's injuries are pretty severe. Even so, it doesn't mean he wants to listen to it.

Laying down a card of his own, Bakura idly attacks one of Atem's monsters, his interest in the duel fading as is his interest in the conversation.

You're not very good at avoiding pissing off the only person who's putting up with your crap.

[Because even though he recognizes that it's probably the exhaustion and pain talking, Atem's words have been needling at Bakura and he's tired of it. He's got other things he could be doing anyway, instead of this boring duel that he's not even giving his full attention.

Folding his hand, he places it on top of his deck.

Fine. It's over. Happy now?

[No you're not; the words are there, hot on his tongue and ready to fly right into the Pharaoh's face. Instead Bakura swallows them down and pushes himself away from the table, movements sharp and harsh as he busies himself with cleaning away the kettle and tea things. It's clearly an outlet for his frustration, and he pointedly ignores the way Atem seems pained to consider the stairs.

It's not his problem, he tells himself. They're not friends; he cares about what happens to Atem only in its amusement value for him. Once Atem is fully back on his feet, they'll be even in terms of their injured convalescence and what they owe each other.
