Omega19x: *it's early morning still. Or at least morning in Ryou's terms. Malik is just waking up. Yami Bakura has come and probably gone again, to do whatever it is he usually does all day.*
Omega19x: *Ryou has a surprise for Malik*
ph33r my rod: *drags self out of bed* "Nnnn..."
Omega19x: *you can smell something quite fragrant in the air. It smells like... blueberry pancakes!*
ph33r my rod: *blinks and goes downstairs*
Omega19x: *the table is nicely set with big stacks of blueberry pancakes, and fresh maple syrup. There's a vase with pretty flowers and all, accenting the neatly placed tablecloth*
Omega19x: *Ryou is cleaning up the area around the stove, not yet noticed anyone else awake yet.*
ph33r my rod: *blinks at the setting, still half-asleep* "...buh?"
Omega19x: *turns around, happy to see Malik* "... good morning!" *smiles*\
ph33r my rod: *rubbing eyes, smiles a little* "...'morning."
Omega19x: "... I... I made breakfast..."
ph33r my rod: *grins* "...smells good."
Omega19x: "... blueberry pancakes." *smiles*
Omega19x: "... my yami already ate his stack." *puts the dish that was once his yami's up in the cabinet*
ph33r my rod: *sits down at table*
Omega19x: "... There's more syrup and butter on the table if you want it... I... I wasn't sure how much to put on the pancakes."
Omega19x: *finishes at the sink, and goes to sit down as well.*
ph33r my rod: *puts some syrup and butter on the pancakes, then digs in*
Omega19x: *neatly adds some syrup on his, and starts eating as well, smiling.*
ph33r my rod: *grins* "...these are really good, Ryou."
Omega19x: *blushes, still eating* "... thank you..."
Omega19x: "I.. .I wanted to make you something special today..."
ph33r my rod: "...that's sweet of you." *keeps eating~*
Omega19x: "...mmm... these did turn out well..."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Mmhmm!"
Omega19x: "... I..I'm glad you like them..."
Omega19x: *smiles, and eats*
Omega19x: "... sorry I got in so late last night... My boss made me work the later shift..."
ph33r my rod: "It's okay. I was a little worried, though... what with this Shadow person out and stuff."
Omega19x: "... at least I don't have to walk home, though... Mokuba didn't take the car away yet."
Omega19x: *takes another bite of pancake, filled with delicious mouthwatering blueberries.*
ph33r my rod: "... If he does take the car away, call and I'll come and pick you up from work. As long as this guy's out there, I don't think it's a good idea for you to walk home by yourself." *eats*
Omega19x: *looks down, and twirls his fork around in the syrup*
Omega19x: "... I know..."
ph33r my rod: *reaches over and places his hand on top of Ryou's* "... I just don't want anything to happen to you."
Omega19x: "... I'll be careful..."
Omega19x: "i... I hope I never run into this... this Shadow..."
ph33r my rod: "Whoever he is, he's bad news. He'd... better not come anywhere near this house."
Omega19x: "... I know..."
Omega19x: *shudders, just thinking about it*
Omega19x: "... You be careful too... all right..."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "I will."
ph33r my rod: *finishes up pancakes, leans back in chair* "...those were good." *smiles*
Omega19x: "... Do you want any more? I... I could always make more..."
ph33r my rod: *shakes head* "Nah, I'm full."
Omega19x: *nibbles more on his own stack*
Omega19x: "... I hate it when my boss makes me work late at night..."
Omega19x: "... I'd much rather be here... with... with you and my yami."
Omega19x: "... when my yami's here... that is."
ph33r my rod: "...your boss doesn't sound very nice at all."
Omega19x: "... He's... he's really not..."
Omega19x: "... I... I don't like him... He... he makes fun of me... when I do things wrong... and doesn't let me take breaks during my shift..."
Omega19x: "And he always wants samples... stupid shadow disease..."
ph33r my rod: "...have you thought about trying to find another job?"
Omega19x: "I... I like my job... I... I just don't like him... very much..."
ph33r my rod: "Oh." *thinks* "Is he the uh... head doctor or something? 'Cause if not, maybe you could talk to his boss about his behavior or something..."
Omega19x: "I... I...don't know if he is or not... He... he was my head doctor... when I was sick... you... you remember him..."
ph33r my rod: *nods*
Omega19x: "... he wasn't very nice when I was sick either... Always changing my medicine for something that didn't work, and made me feel worse... not... not that he knew what would work... It's... it's not his fault, I guess..."
Omega19x: "... but now he... he just makes fun of things... like... like my weight... or... or my arm being broken... He made fun of the burn last night."
Omega19x: "... he said I must really be a clutz to spill soup on my head..."
ph33r my rod: *frowns* "...doctors shouldn't do that."
ph33r my rod: "Hell, nobody should do that. But still..."
Omega19x: "... some of the other nurses agree with me... that he can be a real jerk..."
Omega19x: "He... he used to make fun of them, I guess... They say he always picks on the new person..."
ph33r my rod: "...hm. So it's nothing against you or anything, except for the fact that you're the new person."
Omega19x: "... I guess so."
Omega19x: "I... I just have a lot of things... he can pick on, I guess..."
Omega19x: "... still... I wish he'd stop."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "It's... really childish of him to pick on you for that, though."
Omega19x: "... some people are just childish... I guess..."
ph33r my rod: "I guess so." *sighs* "Try not to let it get to you; if it's just because you're the new person, then you know it's nothing personal. Just him being a big bully."
Omega19x: "... that's true."
Omega19x: "... I wish I wouldn't have signed that... that contract...though... I'm tired of giving him samples every week or so."
Omega19x: "... the... the shadow disease is gone... he's... he's not going to find any more of it."
ph33r my rod: "have you told him that?"
Omega19x: *weak nod*
Omega19x: "... I don't think he cares... he keeps rambling about the team in America being interested in his work..."
Omega19x: "... apparently I'm... I'm like a little lab mouse to him."
ph33r my rod: *frown* "...that's not right at all."
Omega19x: (oh, dinnertime. I'll be back afterwards.)
Omega19x is away at 5:54:55 PM.
Omega19x returned at 6:30:10 PM.
Omega19x: (back)
ph33r my rod: (( WB~ ))
Omega19x: "... I... I don't really know how to tell... to tell him that the shadow disease is really gone for good... After all... it... it did come back... and... and how do you explain to a doctor that... that you were cured by magic?"
ph33r my rod: "... Is he just not seeing that it's gone for good?"
Omega19x: "... I... I don't know what he's seeing... There's... there's no more dead spores in my blood..."
Omega19x: "... there hasn't been for weeks."
ph33r my rod: *scoots chair closer to Ryou's* "...not sure what to say about this one. But everything that he's doing to you needs to stop."
Omega19x: "... it's... I did sign the contract... he can study the shadow disease... it's usually only on Mondays... that I get blood drawn... all that... Sometimes other tests too...."
Omega19x: *nibbles slowly on remaining pancakes*
ph33r my rod: "... Other tests?"
Omega19x: "Right when I came back... from the cruise... he wanted all kinds of things... cardiac ultrasound, I... I couldn't have an MRI... because of the ICD, but he wanted one. I... I don't know what they do with all the blood they take."
Omega19x: "... They even wanted bone marrow samples..."
ph33r my rod: "... Isn't there a way you can... go back on that contract?"
Omega19x: "... I... I don't know..."
Omega19x: "... not... not if I want to keep my job... I...I guess... I'm just afraid that if... if I do... they'll make me pay for all the tests he's done on me since I was hired..."
ph33r my rod: "..." *rests hand on Ryou's shoulder* "I'm sorry they're doing this to you. They shouldn't keep on insisting on doing it if they haven't been finding anything..."
Omega19x: "... last thing I heard... he was waiting for the DNA analysis to come back from overseas..."
Omega19x: "... He thinks the shadow disease might be... genetic, I guess..."
ph33r my rod: "...what the hell?"
Omega19x: "He doesn't know anything, Malik."
ph33r my rod: *shakes head* "Shadow disease being genetic... I would almost laugh at that if it wasn't linked to you in any way."
ph33r my rod: "Meh... stupid doctors."
Omega19x: "... How would he know anything... there... there isn't a scientific explanation, really..."
Omega19x: "... He's just trying to find one."
ph33r my rod: *sigh* "Unless he somehow contracts it himself, he's not going to find one."
Omega19x: "That's true."
Omega19x: "... oh... and they even gave the shadow disease a name."
ph33r my rod: *blinks*
Omega19x: "um... Aquilus morbus. I believe... The American doctor named it."
ph33r my rod: *raises eyebrow* "...what does that mean?"
Omega19x: "I... have no idea."
Omega19x: "... probably black sickness or something... based on its color... I'd guess... I... I don't know much latin."
ph33r my rod: *eyroll* "Figures it'd be something like that."
Omega19x: "the latin name makes it sound really scary."
ph33r my rod: *nods*
Omega19x: "... not... not like it isn't scary... but... you know... more scary..."
Omega19x: "... too bad I can't just hand him a jar of... of the stuff from the shadow realm... and... and tell him to test that instead..."
ph33r my rod: "It'd probably make things easier on you, that's for sure."
Omega19x: "... Can you put the shadow realm in little jars?"
ph33r my rod: "... Y'know, I never thought about that."
Omega19x: "... but.. no... what if it really did have the disease in it... and... and they all got sick... because of me... That would be really bad..."
ph33r my rod: *snerk* "Maybe we should just give him the Tauk. I don't think it can transmit the disease, but maybe it'd throw him for a loop and make him believe all of this stuff."
Omega19x: "... I'm not going to touch it long enough to hand it to him..."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Same here."
Omega19x: "Maybe he'll give up... eventually..."
ph33r my rod: *sigh* "Hopefully." *plays with a strand of Ryou's hair* "Sorry you're having to put up with that jerk."
Omega19x: "It's okay... I can always come home to you... and... and forget everything else..."
ph33r my rod: *small smile*
Omega19x: "... it's... true..."
Omega19x: *finally finishes off the last of his pancakes*
ph33r my rod: "There's no need to dwell on this while you're at home, really... since I can help you forget about it, and all..."
Omega19x: *nodnod*
Omega19x: "... sorry... I... I was just thinking about it... that's all..."
Omega19x: "... I... I shouldn't have said anything..."
Omega19x: *gets up, and starts clearing the table*
ph33r my rod: "..." *stands up* "Don't be sorry about it. You can talk to me about anything you want to... I just don't like seeing you upset."
Omega19x: "...I'm... not... not upset..."
Omega19x: *clears the table, puts the dishes in the sink, and begins to wash them.*
Omega19x: *scrubs syrup off of plates*
ph33r my rod: "..." *walks up behind Ryou, wrapping his arms around his waist*
Omega19x: *nearly drops the dish*
Omega19x: "... Why... why would I... I be upset anyway... it's... it's my... my fault anyway... I... I got sick. I signed the contract..."
Omega19x: "... nothing I could really do about it..."
ph33r my rod: *rests his chin on Ryou's shoulder* "...it's not just about the contract, but... I know you don't like how he treats you in general... with all of the teasing and stuff..."
Omega19x: "... I... I probably... I probably deserved it anyway..." *keeps washing dishes, not even making eye contact*
ph33r my rod: "...you don't deserve to be treated like that." *pulls him closer, whispers* "...don't think for a second that you do."
Omega19x: *leans his head into Malik, and just sighs*
Omega19x: "... How... how did someone like me... end up with... someone... as wonderful as you..."
ph33r my rod: "...I'm still not really sure how it happened... but I'm glad it did."
Omega19x: *weak smile*
ph33r my rod: *nuzzles into Ryou's cheek* "...thanks for fixing breakfast. It was really good."
Omega19x: *twists around slightly, and kisses Malik's cheek.* "...Anything for my... my two boy...boyfriends..."
Omega19x: "... I like making you happy..."
Omega19x: *weak smile*
ph33r my rod: *hugs Ryou, holding him close* "...you do a good job of it." *smile*
Omega19x: "... I'm... I'm glad you think so..."
ph33r my rod: *gently rubs his back* "...you make me happy just by being here." *blushes a little*
Omega19x: *smile*
ph33r my rod: "...as much as I'd like to just stay here and hold you all day, I guess I should let you get those dishes clean..." *pulls away a bit*
Omega19x: "... I..." *up until that point, he forgot his hands were still in soapy water* "... I guess they don't clean themselves..."
ph33r my rod: "...do you want some help?"
Omega19x: "... ok..okay..."
ph33r my rod: *moves over beside Ryou, picking up a plate*
ph33r my rod: *magical dishlapse?*
Omega19x: *sure*
ph33r my rod: *dishes done~* "...there we go." *dries off hands*
Omega19x: *dries his hands as well*
Omega19x: "... thank you..."
ph33r my rod: *smile* "No problem. You went to the trouble of making breakfast and all..."
Omega19x: *smiles*
ph33r my rod: *walks into the living room, sitting down on the couch*
Omega19x: *follows*
ph33r my rod: *yawns a little, not completely awake* "...that was a nice way to start out the day."
Omega19x: *smiles* "... I thought it would be."
ph33r my rod: *leans back into couch* "...now what? I'm half-tempted to go and put my costume on, just to see how it all looks together."
Omega19x: "... I... I thought you wanted it to be a surprise..."
ph33r my rod: "Yeah, I know. Which is why I'm only half-tempted."
Omega19x: "ah."
Omega19x: (yeah, that's really the only stuff I had planned... pancakes and all.)
ph33r my rod: (( Ah. XD ))
Omega19x: (yeah._
