Timeline: During the time Edo & Ryou are researching Haou and such. This was sparked by an ask on my tumblr concerning bed sharing, so that will happen. No sex, however. But give me time and the bed will be shared.
Summary: Living of any kind requires effort, cleanliness, and food. Living in Dark World isn't any exception at all.
Ryou eyed the room they'd been assigned. He'd seen bigger. He'd also seen bigger closets, such as those in Obelisk Blue. The bed itself filled most of the room, with little space to move around in.
Edo dropped their stack of duel disks in the nearest corner before he turned to Ryou. "Lay down," he ordered, not taking no for an answer. "We'll get some rest and go out later."
Ryou's eyes flicked to him before going back to the bed. It didn't look that comfortable. There was a tiny table where he settled Edo's briefcase before he removed his jacket.
The bed was just as stiff and uncomfortable as he thought it would be. He pressed down on it before he stretched out; it didn't get any better the longer that he stayed there.
He closed his eyes and breathed, trying to relax. This wasn't the best, but he didn't have any other options. One lump rose underneath his hip and another about halfway down his left leg. Through the thin pillow he could feel a third lump. Said lumps weren't enough to keep him from sleeping, but they were irksome.
Edo settled in next to him, a silent coil of warmth that made him mentally shiver from how close they were. He'd never slept next to someone before. He wasn't sure of how to go about doing so. Did they just sleep? It couldn't be but so hard. What else could they do?
What else could he do?

Notes: Ryou has never had to share a bed. He doesn't know the rules.
