Edmondia: mew?
EnsTren: mew
Edmondia: waah
EnsTren: eh?
Edmondia: cold, headache, waah
EnsTren: gah
Edmondia: yes
EnsTren: edin is fan's canon
Edmondia: ?
EnsTren: edin is goddess of ygo
EnsTren: fan
Edmondia: oh. that's good to know.
EnsTren: *pets da goddess*
Edmondia: ^_^
EnsTren: hmn
EnsTren: how often did seth touch her during the deal? how many times?
Edmondia: hmn. am not sure. not v. much after that first time
EnsTren: did something happen the first time *brain has flown awaaaaaaay*
Edmondia: not really, he just snuggled up to her and ran a bath for her
EnsTren: I think...the temptation, too much for him again
EnsTren: he tried to cut down the touching time, tried to stop it even, but there she was, all he had to do was say something and he could have her in his arms
Edmondia: mmhmm
EnsTren: so he eventually said something and touched her all over, eyes wide in wonderment and licking his lips lavaciously (actually they were dry cause he was nervous but to her it looked that way)
EnsTren: and laid on top of her a few times
Edmondia: hm
Edmondia: yeah, I can see that
EnsTren: and...it was an addiction
EnsTren: he couldn't stop after that, and he found that if he didn't look at her face/head it wasn't so bad, he could pretend that it wasn't just a bussiness deal
EnsTren: and he tried to make her enjoy it, tried to treat her right
EnsTren: bathed her, kissed her, pleasured her when he dared
EnsTren: he realized what he was doing and tried to stop, but, as I said, an addiction
Edmondia: yeah
EnsTren: and all this was not helping her brain at all
Edmondia: naturally
EnsTren: she hated every second of it
Edmondia: mmhmm
EnsTren: she didn't like it, it wasn't pleasent for her
Edmondia: mmhmm
EnsTren: poor dear
Edmondia: yeah
Edmondia: I wonder...
Edmondia: does she feel strange about actively seeking his attentions now?
EnsTren: yes, but now it feels good and he doesn't force it on her
Edmondia: true
Edmondia: but still would feel a bit odd
EnsTren: yes
EnsTren: and she's seeking his pressance and the pleasure he gives her
EnsTren: it's not always purely sexual
EnsTren: her sexual feelings and desires are really messed up
Edmondia: true
EnsTren: she's...not that intrested in sex
EnsTren: the sensations are good
Edmondia: mmhmm'
EnsTren: is...hmn...
EnsTren: it's "supposed" to go Sexual desire leads to wanting sexual pleasure and sex
EnsTren: but she...wants sexual pleasure, because sometimes it's not very sexual to her
EnsTren: I don't know how to put it in words really
Edmondia: wants the closeness?
EnsTren: that too
EnsTren: or just the pleasure
EnsTren: or to get rid of a headache
EnsTren: *there was research done, she thinks, on how female orgasms can reduce migranes*
Edmondia: *pity that migranes come at a time when it's a difficult trick to get an orgasm*
EnsTren: so most of the time she's not intrested in sex
EnsTren: the pleasure, yes, but not the...extra conotations
Edmondia: extra connotations?
EnsTren: want for sex
Edmondia: ah
Edmondia: doesn't want sex, just fun
EnsTren: or just pleasure
EnsTren: kinda reducing it to a backrub in a way?
Edmondia: hn
EnsTren: or the way a guy wakes up in the morning with wood even though they didn't have sexual dreams
EnsTren: and then jerks off to get rid of it, without the sexual desire
Edmondia: ah
Edmondia: just something to do
Edmondia: that feels nice
EnsTren: yeah
EnsTren: there are...she's aware that it is sexual, but she doesn't feel it all the time
Edmondia: ah
EnsTren: want for pleasure doens't nessicarily equal want for sex
Edmondia: ah
EnsTren: am making sence?
Edmondia: yes
Edmondia: makes sense for her
EnsTren: I wonder if seth is aware of that
Edmondia: probably not on a conscious level
EnsTren: hmn?
Edmondia: he might realize that she doesn't want him the way she should, but not exactly how
Edmondia: he'd feel a bit used if he did know
EnsTren: it makes her happy and she is willing to return the attention
Edmondia: I didn't say he'd mind it, did I?
EnsTren: hehee
EnsTren: she...doesn't know how not to feel used unless she is in a firm position of control
EnsTren: people having sex ='s people using each other, at best
Edmondia: ah
EnsTren: and I think she needs him to pleasure her, as she isn't very comfortable with her body, or sexuality
Edmondia: hm
EnsTren: cause she's really repressed.
Edmondia: true
Edmondia: and, again, I doubt he minds
EnsTren: heh
Edmondia: but I think he wishes she'd be a little more certain of herself
EnsTren: at least certiain of them
Edmondia: them?
EnsTren: them, together
Edmondia: ah
Edmondia: yeah, he does
Edmondia: doesn't like hte uncertainty of trying to kiss her
EnsTren: I think she's starting to like kisses though
Edmondia: that's good
Edmondia: Seth has just glomped her
EnsTren: awww
Edmondia: his exact words: "You like me! You really really like me!"
EnsTren: she's threatening to paint him green
Edmondia: "Green?!"
EnsTren: "Yes, green"
Edmondia: "Why would you paint me green?"
EnsTren: "Because you were being cheesy."
Edmondia: "What does that have to do with the color green?"
EnsTren: "...You haven't watched the Mask?"
Edmondia: "...no?"
EnsTren: "Okay, maybe I won't paint you green."
Edmondia: "...thank you, I think."
EnsTren: "It would have been a bright lime green too."
Edmondia: "...you're a very odd person, my light."
EnsTren: "Watch the movie tonight and tell me that in the morning."
Edmondia: "Hn. I'd rather watch you."
EnsTren: She poked him.
Edmondia: "What?"
EnsTren: She pouted.
Edmondia: He poked her. "What?"
EnsTren: "You can watch me all the time."
Edmondia: "So?"
EnsTren: "Watch the movie so you know phrases and actions not to do."
Edmondia: "I never go out in public without you," he pointed out blandly.
EnsTren: "It's an old American movie."
Edmondia: "I don't wanna watch a movie, I wanna play with you."
EnsTren: "I'll be your toy later. And then you can be my silly cat toy."
Edmondia: "Why can't you be my toy nooooooow?"
EnsTren: "..Okay, but you have to watch the movie so you can understand the green comment."
Edmondia: "...okay."
EnsTren: She hesitated for a few moments, "Okay, now we can play."
Edmondia: "Yippie!" And he promptly hit her with a pillow.
EnsTren: And she whacked him back.
Edmondia: He pounced.
EnsTren: She giggled.
Edmondia: He promptly started tickling her.
EnsTren: She squealed and squirmed and fought him.
Edmondia: He grinned evilly and fluffed her hair.
EnsTren: She settled down suspiciously.
Edmondia: He attempted an angelic smile.
EnsTren: "Can I have my toy now?"
Edmondia: He shrugged.
EnsTren: She stared at him.
Edmondia: He grinned devilishly, leaned forward, stole a kiss, and promptly leapt to his feet, "Catch me if you can!" And ran out of the room.
EnsTren: Hikari was a cheater.
EnsTren: Hikari turned on the shower and went in and said things in his head like Mmnn the water feels soooo gooood.
Edmondia: He pouted.
EnsTren: Ooh, look, my feet are dirty, best clean them.
EnsTren: And the evilest of them all.
EnsTren: Whoops, I dropped the soap.
Edmondia: He sulked.
EnsTren: Mnn...I wish Seth were here.
Edmondia: That's cheating!
EnsTren: She pretended like she didn't hear him.
EnsTren: Hmn... My back needs to be washed... And yamimine looks very pretty when wet.
Edmondia: Lalala, I can't heeeeeeeear you...
EnsTren: Hmn... This feels almost as good as when Yamimine does it.
Edmondia: ...urgle.
Edmondia: And you're SO cheating.
EnsTren: Hmn... slippery.
Edmondia: Cheater! he accused, refusing to admit that it was working and that he was standing on the other side of the bathroom door.
EnsTren: She panted harshly. Nn... Want but... How does Yami do it to meee?
Edmondia: His brain shut down.
EnsTren: And honestly, she really had very little knowledge of what he did, as she had never done it to herself. Right now she was pushing a little above and around the pubic bone, afraid that she might hurt herself.
Edmondia: His self-control snapped, and he marched into the bathroom, slamming and locking the door behind him.
EnsTren: She flinched and jerked her hand away from herself. Her head swung around so fast towards the angry sounds (the locking did not bode well to her subconscious) that she became dizzy.
Edmondia: Hikari, he purred, lazily strolling towards the shower and stripping off his shirt, Don't stop on my account.
EnsTren: Frightened me, her mental voice had an edge of a whimper to it, bravely held back. Please unlock the door, please yami?
Edmondia: He paused. You'd want to risk Mokuba walking in on us?
EnsTren: She started and shook her head though internally her distress increased.
EnsTren: It rang a bit too much of how HE had used Mokuba to get what he wanted from her. She was able to cognate it now that she wasn't completely startled, but she could not stop her gut reaction.
Edmondia: He turned back to the door and unlocked it. We really need a bunch of those 'Do not disturb signs' to carry around.
EnsTren: We'd forget them, she said shakily.
Edmondia: He frowned at her, mid-sock removal. Hikari...
EnsTren: And you can lock the door if you want. Shaky laughter it sounded to him, though it was an extraordinarily good act. He's a perverted little bugger and I wouldn't put it past him to hook up a webcam or something.
Edmondia: Do you want me to lock the door? he asked, hesitating, fingers lingering on his belt buckle.
EnsTren: Whatever you want.
Edmondia: He eyed her critically for a long moment, then silently padded over to the shower and stuck his head inside. Are you going to freak out if I lock the door?
EnsTren: I'm fine, aren't I?
Edmondia: He stepped fully into the shower and gave her a long, searching look, ignoring the fact that his pants promptly got soaked. Are you?
EnsTren: What do you think?
Edmondia: Hn. And he rested his hands on her hips and pulled her flush against him, worming a knee between her legs.
EnsTren: She sighed and wrapped her arms around him, leaning on him. Ooh his pants felt nice.
Edmondia: He tilted his head down and nuzzled her ear, running his tongue down the soft curves and nibbling lightly on the lobe, hands slipping downwards.
Edmondia: You should touch yourself more often, my light.
EnsTren: She sighed softly, slowly relaxing into him. But... And she was blushing hotly.
Edmondia: But what?
Edmondia: He raised his leg a little and rubbed it against her. But what, my light?
EnsTren: ...Idon'tknowhowto!
Edmondia: Ah. And he gently pulled her down to sit with him on the floor, carefully settling her back to the wall. Then you must figure it out, mustn't you?
EnsTren: I might hurt myself. I---I've not done it before...
Edmondia: It's not so difficult - here now, you have to open your legs for me, love, if we're to do this right.
EnsTren: She didn't at first, instead folding her arms across her abdomen and linking her fingers with his.
Edmondia: He blinked curiously at her. What are you up to, beloved?
EnsTren: Nervous.
Edmondia: Why?
EnsTren: Because.
Edmondia: He scooted against her, caught her lips in a kiss. Of me?
EnsTren: Never done this.
Edmondia: I'll help you.
EnsTren: ...Why do you want me to touch myself?
Edmondia: He blinked at her. I want you to feel more comfortable with your own body, my light.
EnsTren: Why?
Edmondia: He blinked at her. Why do I want you to be more comfortable with yourself?
EnsTren: Yes. Because as long as I can't do this for myself I need you to do it.
Edmondia: ...you shouldn't need me for mindless pleasure - you should want me for it, but not need me.
Edmondia: It's not that I mind, pretty light - gods know I love seeing you squirm - but that you might feel more confident with yourself if you do.
EnsTren: But... how do you know that I will call for you to do that to me if I can do it to myself? She was thinking in terms of business, supply and demand.
Edmondia: I'm pretty, he explained simply.
EnsTren: What does that have to do with it? Indeed, she didn't care if her yami were pretty or the creature from the black pit, same as her yami thought about her.
Edmondia: He gave her a very sultry smile. Which is better - your own hands, under your own power, knowing where they'll go and be at any moment - or the element of surprise you get by having a warm body in your bed, a mouth to kiss, a body to hold and explore...?
EnsTren: She started shaking, it was a nice shake though, once she forced that edge of fear away. I don't know, she said, tilting her hear so the warm water fell upon her neck. I've never touched myself before. I was afraid.
Edmondia: You have nothing to be afraid of now, he pointed out quietly. And people seek out bedmates for a reason.
EnsTren: But they leave if they aren't good enough and there's no love. A man is easy enough to pleasure, and from what she had observed from her colleges' bad taste, that seemed to be all that mattered to them.
EnsTren: Men use women, but if the woman could not use the man adequately in return, well, she usually up and left him.
Edmondia: Beloved?
EnsTren: Aha?
Edmondia: He leaned over and kissed her softly.
Edmondia: I'm not going to leave you.
Edmondia: He gently tugged at her fingertips, lightly pulling her hands down to skim over her belly.
EnsTren: She shivered and watched their hands travel together with a strange sense of detachment.
Edmondia: Beloved, you're not going to enjoy yourself if you don't pay attention.
EnsTren: I am.
Edmondia: He kissed her again, slowly, gently licking her mouth and coaxing her lips into parting, sliding their joined hands lower.
EnsTren: She was shaking again, like their first truely willing kiss.
Edmondia: Ssh... it's all right, beloved, I'm right here...
EnsTren: She was so sweet and warm and sweet.
Edmondia: He paused, resting their joined hands just above the soft nest of curls between her legs. Are you all right, pretty light?
EnsTren: Nervous.
Edmondia: Do you trust me?
EnsTren: Should I?
Edmondia: To make you feel good? Yes.
EnsTren: She bit her lower lip and he wanted to kiss it. Though he always wanted to kiss her.
Edmondia: If I'm making you uncomfortable, I'll stop.
EnsTren: You make me feel good.
Edmondia: He smiled sweetly at her. I love you, my pretty light, and I want you to feel good. Will you relax, for me? You can wrap your legs around me, if you like...
EnsTren: He immediately felt she was not inclined to that idea. They were wet and she was naked and he was half naked and it was too close to a position for intercourse for her tastes.
Edmondia: Hmn... then will you sit in my lap? I'm trying to figure out how to do this without either one of us dislocating something...
EnsTren: She moved and sat between his legs with her back to his chest. Will this work?
Edmondia: I think so, and he took her hands again, pressing them flat to her abdomen. Are you ready?
EnsTren: No, she wasn't, but she nodded anyway, because... power beckoned.
Edmondia: He carefully guided their joined fingers downward, gently sliding along and parting soft flesh. Be very gentle, pretty light, he whispered, careful not to scrape or scratch with their nails. Here, just feel around, gently now... feel how you're made.
EnsTren: There was a faint impression that boys were made better. ...Oh!
Edmondia: He nipped softly at her ear, Personally, I find you to be much more fascinating. Careful now, not too fast at first, just feel your way around... you don't have to touch that if you don't want to, pretty light...
EnsTren: Pretty, nervous and shy, following his lead.
Edmondia: Press gently at first, pretty light, decide what you like - pressure isn't bad, friction feels good, but you don't want to get so caught up in it that you hurt later on - just be sensible.
EnsTren: She was nervous, finger tips trembling and following his lead.
Edmondia: Soft and warm, my beloved, that's what you are - don't be afraid, it's all right, here, touches are good, make you feel good, try to rub, see if you like it.
EnsTren: She twitched and gasped and she pushed just a little bit more as her fingers drew up. She turned her head and nuzzled her nose into his chest, whimpering very softly.
Edmondia: Like that? he breathed, Good - aa, don't be shy, it's you and you're absolutely beautiful, go on, see what else you like.
EnsTren: She was squirming and whimpered, legs moving just a little, gasping and pretty pretty lips parting.
Edmondia: Yes, he purred, Go on, that's it - learn what you like, how to move... He slowly released her fingertips, sliding his hands back up her belly, gently cupping her breasts. There - keep going, you like that, don't you?<
EnsTren: Ahhhh-hhhHH.... She curled slightly, knees bending so the soles of her feet were planted on the ground and she pushed back against him.
Edmondia: He moaned softly, rubbing against her, dragging the pads of his fingers over the smooth swell of her breasts, tracing random patterns over her softsoft skin. Hn... he tilted his head down and nipped lightly at her neck, scraping his teeth lightly over her skin. Nn, so sweet, pretty light...
EnsTren: She whimpered and choked on a sweetsweet cry. Her legs parted more and she cried out. Oh oh, so pretty, soft soft and gorgeous and she was Hathor and she was Bast.
Edmondia: He groaned and pushed against her, rubbing her harder, sucking on petal-soft flesh. Ah - gods, pretty light, mmm - sweetest life and light and love...
EnsTren: Pretty choked little sobs, tinytiny delicate cries, reaching back with her free hand and hooking around his neck and holdholdholding onto him as if she were about to die.
Edmondia: He showered her throat and cheek with kisses, lingering and wet, holding her tightly to him and still rubbing softsoftsoftsoft flesh. Mmm, pretty goddess-light, pretty-mine...
EnsTren: She was so needy, needing him, wanton, wanting, himhimhim. She was so close and he was spiraling in her mind and she needed it so badly and suddenly pulled her hand out and bit her knuckles, sobbing. Did she hurt herself? Yesno, just a little. She wanted to go on. She wanted him to finish it for her.
Edmondia: Are you sure? he breathed, and slid a hand down her belly, hesitating.
EnsTren: YesyesyesyesyesyesyesYES!
Edmondia: Love you, he whispered, and gently slid his fingers down and stroked the spot that would make her scream.
EnsTren: And she howled and it was good and good and perfect and wonderful.
Edmondia: He smiled and held her while she trembled.
EnsTren: She was crying too. Not big sad sobs, not tiny little tear trails either. No it was like his light was choking on her own breath while slowslow tears came out simply because her tearducts were trembling with the rest of her.
Edmondia: "Love you," he breathed into her ear, against her hair, pressing his lips to her skin and stroking her chest and belly with gentle hands. "Love you so much, never ever leave you, pretty light, pretty goddess-mine..."
EnsTren: He loved talking to her, telling her this, when she was like this. Because he hoped it would seep into her unconsious and mix with the warm feelings so she'd finally truly and fully believe him.
Edmondia: "Love you so much, pretty light, wanna be with you forever, have you forever, for always and always and always..."
EnsTren: He was babbling, he knew, but he couldn't help it.
Edmondia: "So pretty, sweet hikari, so wonderful and strong and brilliant and lovely and right..."
EnsTren: It was easy to babble when you had so many true things to say.
Edmondia: "Love you forever, loved you forever, pretty strong beautiful radiant wonderful lovely hikari-mine, so perfect and sweet and bright..."
EnsTren: Slowly to the tempo of his voice she relaxed against him, not sleeping, not even dozing, but definitely not completely awake.
EnsTren: Nn... Next time we do this under a waterfall in Fiji, I think.
Edmondia: He hid his smile in the kiss he pressed to her throat. I would like that, pretty hikari.
EnsTren: You...Deep breath, letting it out in a sigh, What I love about you the most?
Edmondia: He nuzzled along her jawline. Hm?
EnsTren: That you can't be brainwashed, that you can't be taken away from me like that. I used to think that Mokuba... that nothing could come between us.
Edmondia: He squeezed her gently, kissing her throat again, humming in soft encouragement.
EnsTren: If you say you hate me I don't have to worry, because I'll know it's true.
Edmondia: !
Edmondia: Neverneverneverneverhateyou!
EnsTren: You should.
Edmondia: What?! Why - love you, love you, love you.
EnsTren: Even after all I've done to you?
Edmondia: Have always loved you, will always love you, no matter what - always and forever love only ever you.
EnsTren: She called up the memories of what she did to him.
Edmondia: He called up the memory of what he felt for her in those moments - breathless adoration and enthralled fascination, for she was beautiful when she was angry.
EnsTren: She didn't like that, it smelled of Stokholms.
Edmondia: ?
EnsTren: When captives start to sympathize with or even love their captors.
Edmondia: Start? Been in love with you since I was seven.
EnsTren: But you should hate me.
Edmondia: As you should hate me, yet here we are.
EnsTren: You never hit me though.
EnsTren: You just... took what you wanted, and I agreed to it.
Edmondia: Not fair - and you hated me for it, he pointed out quietly.
EnsTren: Was it real hate?
EnsTren: It... was like it. But it was empty too. Like there was a hole in my soul and everything was being sucked into it and going away forever. And I wanted to make it so you couldn't hurt me anymore, wouldn't.
Edmondia: I'm sorry I hurt you, beloved...
EnsTren: ...I'm no better than Gozaburo.
Edmondia: What?!
EnsTren: I hurt you in an attempt to get what I wanted.
Edmondia: As did I you.
EnsTren: I hurt you to get the result I wanted. I resorted to brutality and crude attempts at terror tactics.
Edmondia: I did the one thing you feared most.
EnsTren: You didn't rape me. You only said you would.
Edmondia: I said I would. It's nearly the same thing.
EnsTren: There's a big difference between saying and doing. Why the hell am I defending him?!
Edmondia: Beloved, I frightened you half to death. It was completely cruel of me.
EnsTren: She was shaking from the reminder. D-did not. Ah the joys of visiting Egypt and viewing its mighty river.
Edmondia: Even so... beloved, you're trembling. He kissed her neck, squeezing her gently. If it still upsets you even now, then yes, it was that horrible.
EnsTren: You wanted it, I should have been able to give it.
Edmondia: It wasn't right of me to want that. It wouldn't have been right of you to give it. That is an act only for lovers, my light.
EnsTren: As a woman and as your hikari I should have been able to put out, satify you or something.
Edmondia: As a woman and as my hikari you should have clawed my eyes out.
EnsTren: I made a deal.
EnsTren: I keep my word.
Edmondia: And you did, even if it was the deal from hell with a complete idiot.
EnsTren: She turned and tucked her knees under her and started to cry into his chest.
EnsTren: I HATED it!
Edmondia: He wrapped his arms around her and rocked her, clutching her close. I know, I know... gods, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry for being so terrible to you, you don't know how sorry I am...
EnsTren: I hated it I hated it. I hated every second of every day leading up to it because I knew what was coming and when you didn't it was almost worse.
EnsTren: She was sobbing and spilling her soul to him. Showing him the grievous wound he had inflicted on her proud dragon heart.
EnsTren: Nighttime terror, reduced sleep, tense, migranes, fear. It would have been so easy for him to rape her in the night, sleeping next to her naked body.
EnsTren: Raped kisses.
Edmondia: He cried with her, apologies slurring into apologies, unable to bring words to express his grief and shame and regret.
EnsTren: And, in some strange miracle, she let him touch her.
Edmondia: Sosorrysosorrysosorrysosorrysosorrysosorry...
EnsTren: Her personal hell, that was his gift to her. And she had slid from her body to be half in and half out of her soul room to scream and sob and crycrycry.
EnsTren: And her monster had laughed at her.
Edmondia: He clutched her tighter and hid his face in her hair. Sosorrysosorrysosorryathousandmilliontimessorry...
Edmondia: Love you so much, he whimpered, Love you so much, so sorry...
EnsTren: It was a miracle that he wasn't dead, by her hand or...by cousin's. Because if she had asked cousin for it, had told him what he did to her cousin... might have.
Edmondia: He shuddered and snuggled closer to her warmth, wrapping his adoration around her like a blanket.
EnsTren: It was all a string of miracles--but not of the gods.
EnsTren: It was, as ever, hikari's self made luck, self made miracles.
Edmondia: Goddess, he breathed, and clutched her tight.
EnsTren: And he realized exatly why he wasn't as "dark" as he should be. His hikari's light was overwhelming him.
Edmondia: He gently nudged the realization against her mind, letting the delicious warmth of it all settle deep within him.
EnsTren: No... No, she was filthy.
Edmondia: Never that, he breathed, and brushed his senses against her, Just light and light and light.
EnsTren: No, that's Yugi.
Edmondia: You.
EnsTren: Yugi.
Edmondia: Okay, Yugi too.
EnsTren: I'm just... misty... shadowy.
Edmondia: Light, he breathed rapturously, and squeezed her tight.
EnsTren: Hikari made her luck, made her miracles, and made her light brighter.
Edmondia: He whispered these things into her ear, pressing kisses to her skin.
EnsTren: And all that, she believed, and it still wasn't good enough.
Edmondia: Wonderful, my beloved.
EnsTren: No, not good enough.
Edmondia: Perfect.
EnsTren: No.
Edmondia: He tilted her chin up and looked into her eyes. "Beloved," he purred lowly, "Light."
EnsTren: No. Not bright enough, not good enough.
EnsTren: She always measured herself against cousin and his hikari.
Edmondia: We're different from them, my beloved.
EnsTren: Yes, I'm not good enough
Edmondia: Nor am I, if we're comparing ourselves to them.
EnsTren: I should be good enough.
EnsTren: I should try harder.
Edmondia: You're perfect for me.
EnsTren: I should be better.
Edmondia: As should I.
EnsTren: Hikari didn't want to play games any more.
Edmondia: Well... most games.
Edmondia: He didn't think she minded playing with him.
EnsTren: She didn't like playing Duel Monsters, though she kept her deck on hand at all times.
Edmondia: That was sad. He knew her dragons missed her.
EnsTren: Hikari needed to stop measuring herself up against little Yugi and little cousin.
Edmondia: They were different.
EnsTren: Hikari didn't understand that.
Edmondia: He didn't know how to explain it to her.
EnsTren: He had to find a way, because it was hurting her badly.
Edmondia: He didn't know what to do, so he picked her up and shut off the shower and wrapped her up in a big fluffy towel and dried her hair.
EnsTren: She was so sad.
Edmondia: He kissed her fingertips and her softsad mouth and carried her into their bedroom and tucked her into their bed and gave her her Blue Eyes plushie to hold while he put on dry clothes.
EnsTren: She snuggled up to it and curled up into a small hikariball.
Edmondia: When he was dressed again, he found a long nightshirt and managed to coax her into it and a pair of panties, and then kissed her mouth and walked out of the room.
EnsTren: It made her sadder that he did and she didn't know why.
Edmondia: He returned a few moments later with Mokuba in his arms.
EnsTren: She smiled and held her arms open
Edmondia: Mokuba squirmed out of his grip and dove for her, snuggling against her and tucking his head beneath her chin.
EnsTren: She held and rocked him and radiated contentment and sadness.
Edmondia: Seth settled down at her other side, wrapping his arms around her waist and nuzzling her neck affectionately.
Edmondia: They snuggled her tight between them.
Edmondia: (bed)
