Well, they're not actually holding HANDS, but you get the picture.

NOTE TO SELF: Draw at ridiculous hours of the morning more often.

I couldn't sleep [again] last night, so I figured, "Why waste time?" and got up and spent two hours drawing this. Then I went back to bed [a little after 4 AM] and fell asleep. And, yeah, Mir is a bit too short compared to Ryou, but supposedly, she's a year younger than him anyway, and pretty short. So it's ok.

Aaaanyway, let me explain. This is Mir [from Liz's amazing fic A Red Rose] and Ryou. Mir [well, really, her family] is having some issues and Mir gets very bitter and sort of loses it, but lucky for her, Ryou essentially tells her [in a very kind and caring way, of course, being Ryou], "There is no way you're getting rid of me THAT easily." It makes me squee with love.

Speaking of love: MIR'S PANTS. <3 I'm so proud of them. I bet they're hand-me-downs from Emi.

Mir (C) *Element-Girls
Bakura (C) Kazuki Takahashi

Psst... No one tell Mir she's wearing her love sweatshirt while hugging Ryou. She might freak out. [It was the only kanji I could think of off the top of my head at four in the morning. >.<]

EDIT// I figured out what I REALLY don't like about this picture. >.< It's not that he's way taller than her, because Bakura is 5'9" and super tall, but it's that he's not actually LOOKING at her, and that seems wrong... maybe I'll fix it someday.
