Omega19x: *Ryou walks into the room* "hi, Malik."
ph33r my rod: *doing leg exercise stretchy stuff, looks
up* "Hey."
Omega19x: "... how are you doing?"
ph33r my rod: "Okay, I think. I've been doing a lot of
those leg exercises, so it's a little bit sore from that, but
otherwise, I'm fine. How about you...?"
Omega19x: "I'm okay... I... I brought some food."
*holding a tray with dinner. It's a rice pilaf.*
ph33r my rod: "Ooh. Thanks, I was getting hungry..."
*smiles*
Omega19x: "... I thought so..." *smiled weakly back*
Omega19x: *he sets the tray down*
ph33r my rod: *digs in*
Omega19x: *just... stands there*
ph33r my rod: *looks up at Ryou, then scoots over a bit*
"You can sit down if you want to..."
Omega19x: "... oh...t.thank you..."
Omega19x: *he weakly sits down, but doesn't make
any eye contact.*
ph33r my rod: *continues eating, but has the distinct
feeling something's wrong* "...are you okay, Ryou?"
Omega19x: "... I... I don't know..."
ph33r my rod: "You wanna talk about it...?"
Omega19x: "... I... don't know if there is anything to talk
about..."
ph33r my rod: *frowns* "...did I do something?"
Omega19x: "... no, no, you didn't do anything..."
Omega19x: "... I just... feel... strange inside, that's all...
just... s..sad inside..."
Omega19x: "... I... don't know why."
Omega19x: *just sits there* "... I just do..."
ph33r my rod: "Oh, Ryou..." *sets his fork down and
leaned over, giving the best hug he can* "It's okay, it just
happens sometimes..."
Omega19x: "... sorry..."
ph33r my rod: (( Mun totally knows how Ryou feels there.
D: ))
Omega19x: *a few tears slide down Ryou's cheeks*
ph33r my rod: "Ryou..." *reaches up and wipes the tears
from his eyes, gently kissing his cheek* "It's okay... just
cry for a while if you want to, get it all out of your
system..."
Omega19x: *he just leans into Malik, and cries*
Omega19x: *not really having a reason*
ph33r my rod: *just sits and lets him cry, lightly stroking
his face*
Omega19x: "...s..sorry..."
ph33r my rod: *kisses the top of his head* "It's alright...
sometimes you just need to let things out. If you let them
build up for too long, it'll just... well, you know what I
mean, I'm sure."
Omega19x: "... but... n..nothing bad has happened...I...
I shouldn't feel this way..."
ph33r my rod: "...maybe it's a side effect from the
medicine?"
Omega19x: "... I don't know..."
Omega19x: "I'm... I'm sorry, Malik..."
ph33r my rod: *wipes the tears from his face again* "It's
okay... it happens."
Omega19x: "... but it's not right..."
Omega19x: "... it's not right at all..."
ph33r my rod: *just holds Ryou, not really sure what else
to do*
Omega19x: "something... isn't right..."
ph33r my rod: "...what do you mean?"
Omega19x: "... I... I don't know..."
Omega19x: "... something just... feels wrong inside..."
Omega19x: *stares up at Malik, those big brown eyes
laced with tears, trembling a little*
ph33r my rod: "... Is there anything I can do?"
Omega19x: "... I... I don't know..."
Omega19x: *he's trembling a little now*
ph33r my rod: "..." *gently strokes his cheek, kissing him
on the forehead*
Omega19x: "... pl..please... m...make it go away..."
Omega19x: "... m..make it stop..."
ph33r my rod: *tries to make it stop the only way he
knows how, by softly kissing his lips*
Omega19x: *trembling*
ph33r my rod: *holds him close, continuing to kiss his lips
and face* "It's okay..."
Omega19x: "...no... no... not... not okay..." *trembling
like crazy, almost fearful*
ph33r my rod: "Ryou..." *kisses him again, almost in
tears himself* "I don't know what to do..."
Omega19x: "... make it stop... p...please... make the
cold... cold tingling stop..."
Omega19x: *pushes himself away slightly, and ends up
falling right off the edge of the bed*
ph33r my rod: "Ryou?!" *looks over the edge of the bed*
Omega19x: *curled up on the floor*
ph33r my rod: "..." *carefully lowers himself from the bed
to the floor, reaching over to stroke his hair*
Omega19x: *curls up more, trembling* "... it... it won't
go away..."
ph33r my rod: "I'm sorry, Ryou... I don't know how to
make it stop..."
Omega19x: "... it... it's so cold... so... so cold..."
Omega19x: "... and... and tingling..."
Omega19x: "... everything... and... and it... it won't
stop... I can't stop crying..."
Omega19x: "... it... it hurts..."
ph33r my rod: "..." *curls up behind Ryou, draping his
arm over him* "I don't know what to do... I don't know how
to help you..."
Omega19x: *Ryou wishes he knew what was going on.
This strange feeling has been growing in him ever since...
last night...*
ph33r my rod: (( ;;;;; What's wrong with him~? ))
Omega19x: (1. mun feels like making someone insane
right now.
2. probably an allergic reaction from that damn potion.)
Omega19x: (I figure sadness is the opposite of
happiness there, so close enough.)
ph33r my rod: (( Ahh. ;;; *pets him* ))
Omega19x: (physically, it's no longer making him sick,
but since it was supposed to affect mental states, yeah. I
figure I can make him insane for a little while)
ph33r my rod: (( Ohhhh. ))
Omega19x: (or it might be the potion reacting with all
the other medication he's on.)
Omega19x: (point, blame potion.)
Omega19x: (not mun)
ph33r my rod: (( Okay. *blames potion* ))
Omega19x: *trembles*
Omega19x: "... m...Malik... p...please..."
ph33r my rod: *just lays there and holds him, as it's
really all he can do* "I'm trying, Ryou..."
Omega19x: "... no... I'll... I'll make it get out... I... I
will..."
Omega19x: *Ryou seems quite crazed, actually*
Omega19x: *almost like, gasp, the thief king on a bad
day*
ph33r my rod: "..." *blinks*
Omega19x: *his eyes dart around the room*
Omega19x: *and he scrambles up to the bed, spying the
empty plate*
ph33r my rod: *pushes himself up* "... Ryou?"
Omega19x: *he picks it up, and... and smashes it
against the bedframe, breaking it*
Omega19x: "...I'll... I'll make it... make it get out of me...
I... I'll make it..."
Omega19x: *holding a really big broken piece of glass
in his hand*
ph33r my rod: *blinks again, then gasps, climbing back up
onto the bed*
Omega19x: *As Ryou makes a move to drive the
jagged weapon into his torso*
ph33r my rod: "Ryou!" *grabs the hand with the glass in
it, before he can stab himself*
Omega19x: "... m..make it... go away..."
Omega19x: "Make it go AWAY!"
Omega19x: *he struggles in Malik's grip, but thankfully,
Malik is, and probably always will be, stronger than
Ryou.*
ph33r my rod: *pulls the broken glass out of Ryou's hand,
almost cutting his own in the process* "Ryou, calm down!"
*holds on to him as tightly as he can*
Omega19x: *struggling, almost like a crazed animal*
Omega19x: (perhaps you need to consult someone a
little more powerful than an apprentice magician.)
ph33r my rod: (( What, the thirteen-year-old Mahaado? ))
Omega19x: (that or the other Mahaado. But how much
magic does it take to mix a potion?)
ph33r my rod: (( I have no idea. o.O ))
Omega19x: (we could always ask OOC-Mahaado-mun
to join us)
ph33r my rod: (( Besides, Malik doesn't want to mess
around with magic anymore. DX ))
Omega19x: (oh yeah...)
Omega19x: (*thinks of a way to fix this without magic*)
Omega19x: *still struggling*
ph33r my rod: *is in tears by now, still holding on to him*
"Ryou... please..."
Omega19x: "... no... l..let me go... I'll... I'll cut it out. Rip
it out... m..make it go away!!"
Omega19x: *almost shrieking, as he thrashes in Malik's
grip, too weak himself to break free*
ph33r my rod: *pushes him down to the bed and pins him
there the best he can, a few tears dripping down onto
Ryou's face* "Stop it, Ryou, you're going to hurt yourself!"
Omega19x: *tears pour down Ryou's face as well, but
he doesn't seem to notice them*
Omega19x: "... cold...so... so cold... No! No!! Make it
STOP!!"
Omega19x: *thrashing continues a while longer*
ph33r my rod: *buries his face in the crook of Ryou's
neck and holds him down, not caring if he gets hit*
Omega19x: *which he does, a few times, but not too
hard, given the angle of attack and how hard Ryou is
pinned*
Omega19x: *after what feels like an eternity, the
thrashing suddenly stops*
ph33r my rod: *lifts his head up to look at him*
"...Ryou...?"
Omega19x: *Ryou goes limp for a moment*
Omega19x: *and then weakly opens his eyes* "...
w...what happened? Why... why are you crying?"
ph33r my rod: "......." *lays his head back down, clinging
to him* "...oh gods."
Omega19x: *blinks, completely confused* "... malik?
Are... are you all right?"
Omega19x: "... wh...what's wrong?"
Omega19x: "Does something hurt?"
ph33r my rod: "You were scaring me for a while there..."
Omega19x: *wipes the tears from his face* "... scaring
you? W..what are you talking about... I... I just woke
up..."
Omega19x: "... I'm... feeling better, actually..."
ph33r my rod: *looks up at him* "...just woke up?"
Omega19x: "I think what Mana gave me last night
helped settle my stomach..."
Omega19x: *looks at Malik* "... w...why are you
staring at me... like... like that... Is... is something
wrong?"
Omega19x: "... did the potion make you feel sick during
the night?"
ph33r my rod: "... You don't remember anything of what
just happened?" *blinks at him, barely even noticing the
tears falling*
Omega19x: "... w...what are you... t..talking about?"
Omega19x: *weakly sits up, feeling strangely sore all
over*
ph33r my rod: *moves off of him, laying on his back*
"You don't remember any of the thrashing, the screaming,
breaking the plate, anything...?"
Omega19x: "... th...thrashing? screaming? Did someone
break a plate?"
Omega19x: "... You shouldn't be carrying food up
here.... I... I can get it for you..."
ph33r my rod: "...you did. You brought up dinner for me,
randomly started crying, and the next thing I know, you'd
broken the empty plate and was about to stab yourself with
it..." *holds up his hand, which is just barely bleeding in a
couple of spots* "I had to pin you down to the bed because
you were flailing around so much..."
Omega19x: "... l...last night?"
ph33r my rod: "...no, just a few minutes ago."
Omega19x: "... b...before breakfast?"
Omega19x: *Ryou is quite confused*
Omega19x: "... I... I did?"
ph33r my rod: "..." *looks over at him* "Ryou, it's late
evening..."
Omega19x: *blinks*
Omega19x: "... " *he doesn't remember doing anything.
In fact, he doesn't even remember the past 12 hours as
even happening.*
ph33r my rod: "... Do you even remember what you did
today?"
Omega19x: *Ryou shakes his head*
Omega19x: "... I... I thought I just woke up..."
Omega19x: "... I... I don't remember doing... anything...
especially not... not hurting y...you..."
Omega19x: *takes Malik's hand into his, and holds it.*
ph33r my rod: *tightly clings to Ryou's hand* "You had
me so scared... I thought you were seriously going to hurt
yourself..."
Omega19x: *is a little scared that he doesn't even
remember any of this happening*
Omega19x: "... Malik, I... I would never... not... not
intentionally..."
ph33r my rod: "You were screaming, and crying 'make it
go away', and... I felt so helpless 'cause I couldn't make it
stop..." *suddenly sits up and pulls him into a tight hug*
Omega19x: "... I'm... sorry..."
Omega19x: "I... I don't remember anything about this..."
Omega19x: "... I... I don't really remember anything
after I... I crawled into bed... I guess it was last night."
ph33r my rod: "It's okay, it's okay... you're... obviously
better now." *just holds him, not wanting to let him go*
Omega19x: "... oh Malik... I'm so sorry..." *hugs him
tightly* "I... I'm sorry I hurt you..."
ph33r my rod: *kisses his cheek, then rests his head on
Ryou's shoulder* "It's okay now... it's... don't worry about
it."
Omega19x: "... Malik... I... I would never hurt you..."
Omega19x: "I'm... I'm sorry..."
Omega19x: *kisses him gently*
ph33r my rod: "I know, Ryou, I know..." *holds on to
him*
Omega19x: "... wh... do you know what happend? Or...
or why I... I did this?"
Omega19x: "What if I do it again/"
ph33r my rod: "It... I don't know. It might've been one of
the potions... either some of that 'happiness' potion that's
still in your system, or the one Mana made to counteract
that, or... I don't know"
Omega19x: "... I should never have even tasted it..."
ph33r my rod: "Well, you didn't know it wasn't going to
work... it worked fine on me, after all." *lets go of him,
laying back down*
Omega19x: "... maybe it... it reacted poorly with... with
the medicine I'm on..."
ph33r my rod: "That's probably it. I... suggest that you
don't do anything having to do with magic anymore."
Omega19x: *shivers*
Omega19x: "I'm... sorry..."
Omega19x: "Gosh... I... I probably didn't even take my
medicine this morning..."
ph33r my rod: "...you should do that."
Omega19x: "... right..."
Omega19x: *Ryou does that, and then comes back
upstairs, and cleans the broken glass from the floor*
ph33r my rod: *has pulled the covers back and is resting
under them, quietly watching Ryou*
Omega19x: "... you... you rest... I'll finish this up, and...
and come join you..."
Omega19x: *weak smile, so very sorry for having
caused Malik any pain, even if he didn't know he did
anything*
ph33r my rod: "...okay." *nods and smiles back*
Omega19x: *he finishes, and climbs up into the bed,
quite exhausted from the day he doesn't remember*
ph33r my rod: *wraps his arm around Ryou and kisses his
forehead* "I know you didn't mean whatever you did... so
don't worry about it, okay?"
Omega19x: "... okay..." *kisses Malik back on the lips,
wrapping an arm around him*
Omega19x: "... th...thank you for... for not letting me...
do anything bad..."
ph33r my rod: *smiles* "No problem... I love you, Ryou."
Omega19x: "... I love you too, Malik..."
Omega19x: *and it doesn't take long for the exhausted
little bishie to fall asleep*
