Angstshipping (Bakura Ryo/Marik Ishtar)

. . .

"Fuck—fuck fuck fuck. Ryo, how do I—oh shit."

Ryo tried not to laugh into his headset, covering his mouth so that it wouldn't echo into his mic.

"Marik, hang on, you're moving too far ahead," he said. "You're going into the Crimson."

"Ryo, the ground is injuring my character, what do I do?"

"Build a dirt layer over it—you have dirt in your inventory, right?"

"Uh—yes?"

"Did you forget your controls again?"

Marik made an incoherent sound in Ryo's earphones, and Ryo had to laugh. He chanced a peek at Marik's face cam, at the way his face scrunched up with concentration and the way he looked so flustered by the game.

"I'm—I'm just gonna come back to the house," Marik said. "What button is the grappling hook again?"

"Didn't you write all that down on a post-it note for yourself?" Ryo teased.

"Ryo, last time you were here, you atemy post-it note because I pretended to dare you to do it."

"You haven't gotten another one yet?" Ryo said, this time actually laughing into the mic.

Marik growled softly as he guided his character back to where Ryo's character was, coming back into the view of Ryo's screen. Ryo toggled to look at the map of their Terraria game, looking over the areas they had explored.

"Marik, let's go back into the tunnels again, I think there might be a spider nest where we can get some treasure," Ryo said.

Marik let out a faint moan, and on his facecam, he briefly let his head fall against his keyboard.

"I lived underground for ten years, and here you are, asking me to join you into the depths of hell again," he said melodramatically.

"I should think you should be more scared of the spiders," Ryo laughed.

"Fuck you, Bakura Ryo."

"Love you too," Ryo said with yet another laugh.

A/N: I've been watching a Terraria Let's Play and I was like...hey these nerds would play this. I could have done something angsty (haha like the name) about them talking things over about what happened between them in Battle City or like comforting each other in their nightmares but tbh...I have done so much of that during this project. Since I actually like this ship, I thought I'd give it some fluff instead. Anyway, next is Angelicshipping (Raphael x Ryo).
