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.
Edo didn't know when he fell asleep. He knew that some time later, the light in the room had increased and he found himself aware again of what was around him. Or in technical truth, who lay next to him.
He could feel that something was somewhat different from when he'd fallen asleep. That wasn't a surprise; he'd always tossed and turned while he slept. He'd started this time with his back to Kaiser and his focus on the whitewashed wall, drifting off to thoughts about the cracks there and how old this place was.
Slowly he opened his eyes. He expected to see Kaiser, so that wasn't a surprise. What was a surprise was that Ryou's eyes were open and watching him, a faint puzzle of confusion in their depths.
Those eyes... He'd seen Ryou's eyes many times before and seen a myriad of emotions boiling in them. Confidence, broken confusion, absolute determination, curiosity, and many others. But this look now was one that he'd never seen before and Edo wondered if he should do anything about it.
Then Ryou flipped himself over and sat up. Whatever was going through his mind he said nothing about it, rising to his feet and reaching for his coat.
"Let's go." That was all he said. Edo didn't argue, pushing all thoughts of what he saw in those eyes to the side and tidying himself before he headed for the pile of duel disks.
They would have to talk about this. Eventually.
To Be Continued
Notes: Who wants to guess what Ryou is thinking? Because next chapter will reveal it (I think. Unless Ryou doesn't want to talk to me.)
