A/N: Just a little drabble about a story I had/have been working on. It's an au in which Ryou is a slave (kinda similar treatment to kisara.) and he ends up in the dungeons of the palace and Mana takes a liking to him. Atticshipping is my otp I just adore it.
I posted this on deviantart ages ago so please don't accuse me of thievery. Still my idea and story- different name.
Also: Don't own Yugioh
:
"What is your name?" Mana tentatively stuck her hand in the cage and grasped the boy's own.
Wide, brown eyes looked up at her and his lips moved as though to make a sound but no words came out. Instead the boy stared down at the hand on his own as though she would bite him. Anyone could tell the boy was nervous, who would not be if they were to wait on a judgment from the pharaoh?
She moved her fingers across the boy's pale skin in soothing circles hoping to calm him down. "I promise not to hurt you." Mana smiled at him. "I just want to know your name."
She could not help but notice the way he seemed confused at her statement. "R-ryou." His voice was strained like he had not had a drink in days.
Mana looked down at her container of water before passing it through the cage to him. Instantly the boy looked at her questioningly and with a bit of disbelief. His eyes scanned her looking for any signs of deception. After a few minutes he gently grabbed the container and drank from it.
In a few moments he was done and looked once again at her. This time though he was smiling. It was a small, barely there smile but it was still there. That was enough for Mana.
:Fin:
Like I said just a tiny part of the story I'm actually working on but god knows when I'll be done so I'm just casually going to leave this here.
