-on his own, he might not be as tame. And the circumstances of the situation may be well out of hand by then... @Joey_Mutt

[Marik Ishtar @TheLostRelic]

-This is what I want to do.. for the kids. But if you believe that I don't need to.. Though, if we leave him to come out- @Joey_Mutt

[Marik Ishtar @TheLostRelic]

-seem almost afraid. Of what's going to happen. Do you believe he can't control himself? or that he has no control..- @Joey_Mutt

[Marik Ishtar @TheLostRelic]

[His eyes open slowly, and he frowns a bit.] Joey, I ... Are you afraid? I know you said you don't mind. Or.. care. But you- @Joey_Mutt

[Marik Ishtar @TheLostRelic]

-in regards to bringing Malik back out at all... Much less by choice.] @Joey_Mutt

[Marik Ishtar @TheLostRelic]

-then starts to slowly calm his breathing, doing his best to concentrate. It'd been quite some time since he'd done anything- @Joey_Mutt

[Marik Ishtar @TheLostRelic]

-slowly, and his eyes close a bit.] I'll do it myself but ... Just please be careful. I don't know what to expect of him. [He- @Joey_Mutt

[Marik Ishtar @TheLostRelic]

[Understanding fully, he nods, and exhales. Slowly pulling away from @Joey_Mutt.
] I-I understand... [Straightening himself up, he exhales-

[Marik Ishtar @TheLostRelic]

-the situation... To the fullest degree... I mean.. [His gaze falls again.] @Joey_Mutt

[Marik Ishtar @TheLostRelic]

-.] I'm never leaving you again either.. I promise... [Finally his breathing was regulated.] A-Are you sure you can handle- @Joey_Mutt

[Marik Ishtar @TheLostRelic]

-and surely, he was calming down. A small sigh escapes him, as his fists curl into fists on Joey's chest, curling up the fabric- @Joey_Mutt

[Marik Ishtar @TheLostRelic]

[He sighs lightly, before leaning into his husband and nodding a few times. Hics and hiccups, sniffled and coughs. But slowly- @Joey_Mutt

[Marik Ishtar @TheLostRelic]

... Is something wrong, Bakura?

[Marik Ishtar @TheLostRelic]

-an attempt to get himself to stop.] @Joey_Mutt

[Marik Ishtar @TheLostRelic]

-reason... I have my children and myself riding on this and.. [He's choking back sobs, and constantly clearing his throat in- @Joey_Mutt

[Marik Ishtar @TheLostRelic]

-to the floorboards he was so intensely staring at.] If he's... gone for good then what? I'd... I'd feel lonely for some- @Joey_Mutt

[Marik Ishtar @TheLostRelic]

-and gradually beginning to lose his standing. Droplets falling from his eyes, and rolling either down his cheeks, or falling- @Joey_Mutt

[Marik Ishtar @TheLostRelic]

-back? J-Joey, what if I fail our kids? They want to see him.. God knows why but.. [Some sniffles signify that he was slowly- @Joey_Mutt

[Marik Ishtar @TheLostRelic]

-.../switch/ anymore.. Which, honestly scares me. [He looks up at @Joey_Mutt, eyes large, and watering.] What if I can't get him to come -

[Marik Ishtar @TheLostRelic]

-floor, and he's got a tight grip on his own arm now.] It's been so long I'm not even sure I have the ability to simply..- @Joey_Mutt
