Oh it's definitely real, although sometimes you're not wrong that it feels like a horror game . . .
[Steve froze at the words and the flinch. He hadn't actually made contact but he slowly withdrew his hand just in case. The change in the boy was a little worrying, but not something he felt threatened by. he would not, however, touch someone if they didn't want the contact, at least not if he could help it.
He let Bakura take whatever time he needed, well aware he'd done something extremely disturbing to the guy without meaning to. Steve really needed to remember to ask permission with strangers instead of assuming. The hand though, that had him reaching towards Bakura again before he caught himself, much quicker that time. God damn.]
First off, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you and I should have asked if it was ok to touch, not just assumed. Secondly I'm so sorry Bakura, but you're not evil. You don't seem the least bit terrible to me and I'm so sorry people have told you otherwise, and made you suffer for what they perceive to be the truth. I'm so sorry you've been to hurt.
