Omega19x: *Ryou is in the room with his yami.*
ph33r my rod: *heads into said room* "Ryou...?"
Omega19x: "Oh! Malik... We thought of something!"
ph33r my rod: *blinks* "You did?"
Omega19x: "My yami's other self and I... we thought of something!"
Omega19x: "The dead take things with them... the things they're buried with... That's why the pharaohs had all the extra gold and things in their tombs, right? Well... what if we give Bakura things to use in his trial! Things... that show he's a really good person!"
Omega19x: *bounces up and hugs Malik* "It'll work! It just has to work, right?"
ph33r my rod: *hugs back, thinking for a moment* "...yeah, that might actually work."
Omega19x: *the Change of Heart card is in Bakura's hands. There's a bag of coffee sitting next to him, from his other self.*
ph33r my rod: "Is there anything else we could put with him? I don't think I have anything..."
Omega19x: "... you've got to have something..."
Omega19x: "... I'm... not going to give him the millennium ring... That wouldn't look good to Osiris... I don't think..."
ph33r my rod: *shakes head* "No, that wouldn't be a good idea."
Omega19x: "... I... I have the letters he gave me back... I can set those with him... Oh, and... and the ring he bought me... um... or maybe stole for me... maybe that's not a good idea either..."
ph33r my rod: "Umm..." *tries to think of something* "Yeah, the letters would be good. Though the only thing I can really think of is uh... cake, from when we made your birthday one last year."
Omega19x: (please excuse me while my computer spazzes.)
ph33r my rod: (( Eep. ))
Omega19x: (almost done?)
Omega19x: (okay, I think it's done being a putz)
ph33r my rod: (( Huzzah! ))
Omega19x: "... BIRTHDAY!! OH NO!!!"
ph33r my rod: *blink blink blink*
Omega19x: "... my yami's birthday! It was two days ago!! I didn't do anything! I didn't make a cake! I didn't get any presents! I... I didn't do ANYTHING..."
ph33r my rod: "Ryou, calm down, it's alright..." *puts his hands on Ryou's shoulders* "You can have a party for him when we bring him back..."
Omega19x: "... I'm... a horrible hikari... I... I didn't even remember his birthday... and he's dead..."
Omega19x: *drops to his knees and starts crying*
ph33r my rod: *drops down next to Ryou, pulling him into his arms* "Shh, it's okay..."
Omega19x: *wraps his arms around Malik* "... s...sorry..." *sniffle*
Omega19x: "... I... I just should have remembered... I... he's... he's somewhere... wherever the dead go. And it was his birthday... and... and nobody remembered..."
ph33r my rod: "It's okay... I don't think he'd really expect anybody to remember since he doesn't really like that stuff being celebrated. Or he didn't last year, that I can remember..."
Omega19x: (never mind that last year he made up a date solely for the purpose of Ryou wanting to celebrate something before he died...)
Omega19x: "... I... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..." *hugs Malik as tightly as he can*
ph33r my rod: (( Not like they know that :X ))
Omega19x: (I thought Malik did. Oh well.)
ph33r my rod: (( *shrug* ))
Omega19x: "... I... I want him back... alive... and... and Ghost is scaring me... and wanting to do some weird magical thing... and if... if I say no, he'll get angry... and Seto thinks my yami should stay dead... and Mokuba just wants me to buy more clothes... and... and..." *cry*
Omega19x: *such a stressed little bishie*
ph33r my rod: *holds him tight* "Well... they do say that if you want something done, you often have to do it yourself. I know some people will help, and maybe that'll be all we need... I don't trust Ghost, Seto's an ass, and Mokuba's a moron, so don't listen to them, okay?"
Omega19x: "... I know... but... but I don't know how to make my own magic... I... I just want my yami to get all the things we leave for him, and... and for Osiris to say he has to come back... and finish what he started. That's all I want..."
Omega19x: "... I'm... not strong enough to do that on my own..."
Omega19x: *buries his head on Malik's shoulder*
ph33r my rod: *kisses the side of Ryou's head, stroking his hair* "I'm sorry... all I can really tell you to do is just keep trying."
Omega19x: *curls up in Malik's lap, leaning into him* "... I... I'm scared..."
Omega19x: "What if I'm not... not strong enough to do it on my own?"
ph33r my rod: "You're strong, Ryou... if you can survive things like the shadow disease, or fighting the Klingoffs, then you can do something like this. You've got me backing you up, and your other self, and his yami... it'll be okay, Ryou." *big hug*
Omega19x: *sniffle* "... please... Malik... don't let go... I... I don't know what I'd do without you..."
ph33r my rod: "I won't. You know that."
Omega19x: "... thank you... thank you, thank you..." *hug hug hug* "...I love you..."
ph33r my rod: *huuuuuug*
Omega19x: "... I... I just have to believe in myself... th..that's all... That's what I have to do."
Omega19x: "... That's... where magic comes from, right?"
ph33r my rod: *nods* "That's right. I believe in you too. And as long as you believe in yourself too, then you have the strength..."
Omega19x: "... then... then we have to... believe that... that all these items will go to my yami... just like... just like my letters went to Amane... She found them. She read them... I believed then..."
Omega19x: "I... I have to believe now!"
ph33r my rod: *nodnos*
Omega19x: "... and if you believe in me... I... I can... I can believe in myself..."
Omega19x: *another hug, just for safety measures*
ph33r my rod: *smiles, hugging back* "See, it'll be okay..."
Omega19x: *sniffle*
Omega19x: *nod*
Omega19x: *wipes his eyes*
ph33r my rod: *gently strokes Ryou's cheek* "You okay...?"
Omega19x: "I think so..." *wipes his eyes.* "... I'm sorry, Malik..."
Omega19x: "I... guess I've just been... a little hard on myself lately..."
ph33r my rod: "It's okay, everyone has times like this." *kisses his forehead* "And sometimes you just need to let it out."
Omega19x: "... thanks..."
Omega19x: *stands up slowly.* "... c...can we... bake a cake for him anyway? Even if... if he can't eat it?"
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Of course..."
Omega19x: "... will you... bake one with me?"
Omega19x: "... I... don't want to be alone... right now..."
ph33r my rod: *stands up* "Yeah, I will... I won't leave you alone, ever."
Omega19x: *kisses him* "... thank you..."
Omega19x: *and holds on to Malik's arm as they walk into the kitchen*
ph33r my rod: *walkwalk*
Omega19x: "... can... we make a formerly lemon, now vanilla, pound cake?"
ph33r my rod: *nods and smiles* "...I think he'd like that."
Omega19x: *smiles*
Omega19x: *gathers ingredients, and starts mixing up batter*
Omega19x: "... Will you turn the oven on, and get me a pan?"
ph33r my rod: "Alright." *turns the oven on, then goes to get a pan* "Here you go."
Omega19x: *smile* "thank you."
ph33r my rod: *smiles back* "Anything else I can do?"
Omega19x: "... I.. remember when you two... baked this cake for me... For my birthday, right?"
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Yeah... it was funny. We both ended up with flour all over."
Omega19x: "... It was the best cake I'd ever tasted."
Omega19x: (supernanny break?)
ph33r my rod: (( Okay XD ))
Omega19x: (in an hour, when it comes on)
ph33r my rod: (( ...isn't it on now? ))
Omega19x: (different time this week!)
ph33r my rod: (( Oh. :O ))
ph33r my rod: *big grin* "I'm glad~ 'Cause we really tried hard on it."
Omega19x: "... I... I could taste the love..."
Omega19x: *hugs Malik again, and kisses him.*
ph33r my rod: *hugs and kisses back, giving him a big squeeze* "And this one will be just as good... even if Bakura can't really eat it right now."
Omega19x: "we... we can leave a birthday candle with... with him... To show that someone still celebrates his life?"
ph33r my rod: *nods* "That sounds like a good idea."
Omega19x: "... and we can make a wish... and... and blow out the candle for him... and wish for him to come back..."
ph33r my rod: "...yeah."
Omega19x: "and it will be special, because we're making it together." *pours the batter into the pan*
ph33r my rod: "Right." *smooths it out a little*
Omega19x: "... Will you... help me do the honors of putting it in the oven?" *holds up a second oven mit*
ph33r my rod: *nods, taking the mitt*
Omega19x: *and together they put the cake in the oven*
Omega19x: "... thank you, Malik..." *he hugs him again, just as tight as before. "I... I don't know what I'd do without you... I... I'd be a mess..."
ph33r my rod: *hugs* "I'm here to keep you together..."
Omega19x: "... you're the... the best at that..."
Omega19x: "I... I wish you didn't have to do it so often.. that... that I'd be better at keeping things together... I... I mean, I try... but... sometimes things are... are hard..."
ph33r my rod: *pets his hair* "I know... and you do a good job of it, sometimes. But when you can't do it, you have me to fall back on."
Omega19x: "... You... you can fall back on me too... though... you don't need it as much... I think."
ph33r my rod: "Maybe, though I do need it... I dunno what I'd do if I didn't have you to keep me sane."
Omega19x: "... you mean it?"
ph33r my rod: *nods*
Omega19x: "I'm... really good with hugs too..."
ph33r my rod: *hugs* "Yes, you are."
Omega19x: *hugs back*
Omega19x: *after a while, the timer goes off on the oven.* "oh! The cake is ready!"
ph33r my rod: *pulls the oven open* "It smells good..."
Omega19x: *and they take it out as they put it in, together.*
Omega19x: *sniff* "... it smells wonderful... and it looks just as fluffy as yours did."
Omega19x: *they let it cool, before finally taking a piece to taste.*
Omega19x: (and I'm gonna head off for the night, paint some of my costume while watching Supernanny.)
ph33r my rod: (( Mmkay. :X ))
Omega19x: (remind me, is :X a good smiley or a bad smiley.)
ph33r my rod: (( It's a good one XD ))
Omega19x: (byebyes)
ph33r my rod: (( *wave~* ))
