Summary: More in the adventures of Ryoga going nuts. Rin attempts to have a coherent conversation with Ryoga... it doesn't go so well.

Rin: *wanders around the flat, clearly discontent and frustrated; finally settles down, cross-legged on the table next to the couch; arms crossed, glaring at Ryoga* we need to talk.

Ryoga: *flopped across the couch, one arm draped over his eyes, the other over his stomach* ...Oh?

Rin: Yes. *falls silent*

Ryoga: *moves his arm away from his eyes, fixing his gaze on Rin - impassive blue eyes* ...So, talk.

Rin: *glares* ... er-- *stops and looks away; mutters:* whatwas_that_about_then_,anddon'taskmewhatandwhen *breathes*

Ryoga: When I kissed you. *brushes his fingers through his hair*

Rin: *twitches* yes.

Ryoga: You asked me if I meant it, I showed you. *sits up, takes a hold of a throw pillow to cradle it in his lap* What about it?

Rin: ... *blushes slightly, still not looking at Ryoga* well, do it aga-- *bites his tongue* I still don't know what to think.

Ryoga: ...*throws the pillow at Rin's head*

Rin: *catches it and glares at Ryoga* what?

Ryoga: Say what you mean. *stretches*

Rin: well, *pout* I still don't know if you're just playing with me, or ...

Ryoga: Yeah, well, neither do I. Come off it. *lies back down, this time on his side facing away from Rin*

Rin: *throws the pillow back at Ryoga* I hate you. *gets off the table and stalks off to the computer, to try and finish an assignment*

Ryoga: *plucks the pillow up off the floor, settles it under his head* How can you? Who am I that you hate?

Rin: *pinches the bridge of his nose* apparently, I can. You're Echizen Ryoga, a bastard that likes to screw with people's heads *bitter*

Ryoga: *also pinches the bridge of his nose* I'm not as certain as you are.

Rin: ... *now worried* what do you mean? *leans over the back rest of the couch*

Ryoga: ...I wasn't born with blue eyes... and I think most humans have finger prints.

Rin: lets start with that neither of us is human *takes Ryoga's hand to check, brushes his thumb over Ryoga's fingertips* looks and fingerprints don't define who you are. *doesn't let go of the hand*

Ryoga: ...it's the most individual of identity markers, Sunshine. *fingers flex a bit in Rin's grasp* They're just gone.

Rin: it's what society made it be, *sniffs lightly at Ryoga's hand* smell is also individual, though humans don't notice it. *on a whim, kisses the fingertip of Ryoga's index finger*

Ryoga: *watches Rin carefully* ...'Thought you hated me.

Rin: *stares down* you frustrate me, that's what I hate. And confuse. *shrugs* Other than that, you were right.

Ryoga: *reaches up his free hand to tangle his fingers in Rin's hair* I wanted you to come - I was relieved to see you.

Rin: *breath catches, widens eyes a little* ahh... *breathes again after a moment* thank you.

Ryoga: *developing light blonde highlights in his hair* I'm not doing that again - holding up a guise for that long, and in jail of all places...

Rin: *frowns* no, better not. I'm gonna hit you, if you ever get such a brilliant idea again. And don't focus so much on my hair. *bends over the backrest, kissing Ryoga lightly*

Ryoga: *returns the kiss, though he doesn't quite understand the quip about the hair* I told you to stop me if I ever did anything "brilliant," again. *wraps his arm around Rin's shoulders to give himself leverage for a second kiss*

Rin: *thinks he's a bit uncomfortable bent over like that. Shifts, not breaking the second kiss and slowly moves over the back rest, now crawled on all fours over Ryoga*

Ryoga: *moves his other arm up around the small of Rin's back and pulls him down against his body*

Rin: *gasps a little in surprise, one hand fisting Ryoga's shirt, while other sneaks up his neck to his cheek*

Ryoga: *draws away from the kiss to look Rin in the eyes - his hair now more blonde than black* It doesn't matter to you that Echizen Ryoga is disappearing - that you never liked Echizen Ryoga do begin with...?

Rin: ... *frowns* it does matter. *blushes* I-I-... you--, I mean, he--... *pauses* Echizen Ryoga knew just... how much... I did.

Ryoga: *licks his lips* ...What's left behind, then? If that disappears, what do you do with what's left behind?

Rin: it won't disappear *even though he doesn't know how to stop it* Ryoga I knew, was stronger than that.

Ryoga: *regards Rin carefully* ...The moment I'm with someone else, the Ryoga you knew begins to wash away.

Rin: *strokes Ryoga's cheek* we'll find a way. *a little desperate*

Ryoga: *reaches up to mimic the motion, touching Rin's cheek* Ryoma said he's going to look for something - he may be able to find something I haven't.

Rin: *catches Ryoga's hand and moves off him to sit on the edge of the couch* hopefully he will. *tugs lightly on a strand of blond hair, that used to be black* your natural colour it black, not blond.

Ryoga: *expression more or less blank* I donno how to make it natural.

Rin: *sighs, not knowing how Ryoga's powers work exactly; gets off to rummage around to find some photograph, sits back on the couch and shows it to Ryoga* look, this is you. Hair colour, eye colour, expression... *doesn't know what else to do*

Ryoga: *studies the photograph a moment before turning over on the couch* 'M tired, Rin.

Rin: you'll be more comfortable on the bed. *tugs on Ryoga* come on.

Ryoga: *reluctantly moves, getting himself to his feet* Wonder 'f it'll stop come tomorrow?

Rin: *pulls on Ryoga's hand* hopefully *inwardly doubts though*

Ryoga: *allows himself to be led along* You're taking care of me. You don't have to.

Rin: but I want to? do you mind? *shrugs; once in the bedroom can't help but smirk and tease* should I help you undress too?

Ryoga: I think I'll sleep like this. *listlessly flops onto the bed*

Rin: hnn *wrestles the blankets from under Ryoga and pulls them over him* sleep well. *pets his hair*

Ryoga: Nngk. *mumbles something incomprehensible into the pillows*

Rin: *grabs a book and sits on the floor by the bed*
