Duel 002: Peaceful Days! The Fluffiest Training Montage Commences
[It's a bit of a pain, being in a school with no teachers.
Ryou Bakura isn't the type of kid who really likes being too active; he's about on the level of most ordinary teenagers. But after being laid up for so long with the burns to his arms and leg, not only is he extremely restless, but he's sure even his metabolism won't hold up much longer, with the amount he eats. That's why, after checking to see that Henry isn't home to take him up on that training offer, he's decided to try treating this like school and taking an hour or so to do his very own gym class, all by himself. It'd be easier with teachers, but... he doesn't have a choice right now.
Most kids probably would just take the break and be lazy, but right now, Ryou's working hard. Apart from the occasional break, he can be found pretty easily in the east wing, dressed in gym clothes and doing everything from running laps on the track field to climbing ropes.
...though that last one is more like 'falling off ropes'. Stupid mats... they don't cushion that fall at all. Hopefully nobody's dumb enough to stand below him.]
Ow...
[Time for a banana and some water, he thinks.]
Ah, I'm so tired...

[Sorry, Bakura, her spirits have tanked from that thought. She tries to shift her hands a little, though, holding onto it a bit better.]
Is this right?
no subject
[It's a lie, but he has to find some way to explain his higher level of skill.]
no subject
Heheheh... you really think so? I probably look ridiculous, though!
no subject
[He grins down at her.]
no subject
[She grins a bit back up.]
no subject
But I don't usually wear shorts, you know?
no subject
It's most likely that Bakura didn't mean it that way, but it hits that still-bleeding wound in her chest. There's a moment of hesitation before she "slips," letting go in a way that makes it look like she just fell and hit hard.]
Ow!
no subject
[He just lets go, dropping down to land in a crouch on the mat.]
Oy, Karasu! Are you alright?
no subject
[Actually, her hands kind of got burned up from the rope, but she's rubbing them on her pants and ignoring the stabs of pain.]
Sorry, I... need to go. We can talk more... a little later, yes?
[She all but runs to grab her hoodie and throw it on.]
no subject
[Huh... maybe he pushed too hard on that last joke. Well, it's fine. She'll get over it.]
no subject
[And Karasu is just going to be running off down the halls here, unable to fully resist the crying.]
no subject
"Karasu? Hey, what's the matter?"
Who does he get to beat up?no subject
[It's a miracle she can see at all, with how heavy's she's crying.]
I-It's... nothing.
no subject
no subject
Y... yeah. That's... okay.
no subject
Kai gives her hand a squeeze and gently tugs her along. Luckily they're not too far from his room, so pretty soon he's digging in his pocket for his keys, still holding her hand.
"You want a soda or something? I made cookies yesterday too. Lemon. They look kind of funny, but they're good otherwise!"
Stupid lock, open already- ha! Kai gives the door a kick before he pushes it open, finally letting go of Karasu so she can go sit if she wants to.
no subject
S...sure... that sounds okay.
[She hiccups a little, going inside to just throw herself on the couch, burying her face in a cushion to cry.]
no subject
Really, the only experience he's had with something like this was with 'Jem, and that was totally different because she was a kid and no one takes it the wrong way when you hug a crying child.
"So...what happened?"
He sets the plate and soda on the coffee table, then stands there a little awkwardly. Should he try and squeeze himself onto the couch with her? No, standing's probably better at the moment.
no subject
[She sits up, rubbing her face with her arm. Crying in front of him like this... it kind of makes her feel awkward and ashamed all of a sudden.]
I... I got upset... over something Bakura-kun said.
[She takes one of the cookies, not really tasting it as she just chews on it idly.]
no subject
What twitch, there wasn't any twitch. Kai manages to keep his frown to himself, and moves to sit down on the couch once she sits up. He'll just give her a little space, there.
"What'd he say?"
Depending, he may or may not go punch the Creeper in the face, and apologize to Ryou later.
no subject
He saved my life when I first got here, and he's... he's been sweet and nice and kind to me, trying to take care of me and help me and everything. I... really crushed hard on him, you know? But... Malik-kun, his friend, he gets too jealous... so I told Bakura-kun it'd be okay if we just stayed friends forever. But then he saw me with my top off while we were working out in the gym and joked he'd see it tonight in his dreams, and...
[Nope, she loses it to a fresh wave of tears.]
...It hurt more than it should have...
no subject
No, really, what?
Kai hadn't been expecting this. First he's trying to make sense out of the Bakura being sweet part because what the hell, and then to hear she had actually wasted any feeling on that creep...okay, he's not jealous.
Yes he is.
But he's going to be mature and ignore that to focus on the rest of it.
Okay, maybe he doesn't want to focus on the rest of it too much. When the tears start up again, Kai automatically scoots over and carefully wraps an arm around her shoulder. He's not thinking of putting moves on her or anything else. It's just-
Karasu's crying and she needs a hug.
He's not even sure what to say. Definitely nothing he's thinking right at this moment.
no subject
S...sorry...
no subject
Kai really doesn't like it when his friends get hurt...and he doesn't need to be the reason for it either.
"For what, crying? Everybody does that." If she's also apologizing for clinging to him, he doesn't mind that either.
"Everything'll be okay."
no subject
[Kai feels surprisingly warm and comfortable. She doesn't want to let go.]
But... he...
[It spills out, the floodgates already opened.]
He was the only one who I knew that accepted me... all the way. He saw me go crazy... he saw that... monster half of me angry and willing to hurt someone and he still... he still came looking for me later on...
...I just... can't have anything like that... I've never even had any friends until I came here, so... I should be happy with that... right?
