Omega19x: A thump sound can be heard in the living room, followed by a high-pitched 'EEP!'
ph33r my rod: Malik looked up from the computer and got up, walking into the living room. "Ryou?"
Omega19x: "owww..." Ryou was sitting on the floor, next to the rug.
ph33r my rod: Malik knelt down next to him. "What happened? Are you okay?"
Omega19x: "I was going to check the mail, and I tripped on the rug... I... I twisted my ankle."
ph33r my rod: "...ouch." Malik looked down at Ryou's foot. "Want me to get you some ice for it or something?"
Omega19x: "... y... yes... please."
Omega19x: He rubbed his left ankle. It really did hurt.
ph33r my rod: Malik gently lifted Ryou up onto the couch, then went into the kitchen. He came back a few moments later with an ice pack, placing it on Ryou's ankle. "Here... keep that on there for a while and it should feel a bit better."
Omega19x: Ryou put the ice on his ankle. "Thanks, Malik..."
Omega19x: "I don't know what happened... I was just walking, and then I just tripped!"
ph33r my rod: "Eh, it happens sometimes. It'll heal up, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Just keep the ice on it, keep it elevated when you're not using it, and try not to stay on your feet too much." Malik sat down beside him.
Omega19x: "... but we were going to go up to the mall and play DDR today... I know you really wanted to..."
ph33r my rod: "...no, it's okay. I'm sure it'll still be there by the time it heals. It shouldn't take more than a week or so..."
Omega19x: "Yeah, the machine never goes anywhere, does it..." Ryou giggled a little.
ph33r my rod: "Nope. The only thing ti does is move around in the arcade a lot, when they decide to rearrange." Malik smiled at him.
Omega19x: "... we can always DDR next week."
ph33r my rod: "Mhm. It's no big deal." He ruffled Ryou's hair. "I'm still a little bit tired from camp, to be honest. My arms are still sore from the rock climbing."
Omega19x: "But it was fun, though..."
ph33r my rod: "Yeah, it was. That view we got at the end was totally worth it."
Omega19x: Ryou rubbed his ankle a little more. "But it is nice to be back home again... Maybe since I can't go DDR, we can stay home and make s'morepuffs."
ph33r my rod: "Oooh, that'd be fun. S'morepuffs are always good. And they tend to make things better, don't they~"
Omega19x: Ryou nodded. "Hmm... but we haven't got a campfire in here..."
ph33r my rod: "Nope." Malik thought to himself for a minute. "The closest thing we have is the burners on the stove, but I'm not sure how well that'd work..."
Omega19x: "hmm..." Ryou pondered for a moment, and then an idea struck. "Okay... I'll just melt the chocolate and marshmallows in a little pan, and then fill the puffs with that. Not quite the same, but close!"
Omega19x: But how was Ryou supposed to do that and stay off his ankle too?
ph33r my rod: "Yeah, it'll be close enough. It'll still be tasty~ ...but your foot. Will you be able to manage with it?"
Omega19x: "..." Ryou stood up slowly, and tested his ankle. It hurt. "I think I'm gonna need some help... from my knight in the shining colander..."
ph33r my rod: Malik got up and helped him stand. "Of course I'll help."
Omega19x: Ryou put his arm around Malik. "Then let's get cooking!"
ph33r my rod: Malik nodded and grinned at him. "Okay~!"
Omega19x: Together, they walked to the kitchen, and Ryou gathered the ingredients for the cream puffs. He sat at the table, and started mixing the dough. "Okay... you start melting the chocolate and the marshmalllows!"
ph33r my rod: "Alright~" Malik took out a pan and put the marshmallows in with the chocolate, starting to melt them together.
Omega19x: Ryou whipped the eggs in the dough.
ph33r my rod: "This is looking pretty good over here. We might need to reheat it a little after the shells bake, but I think it'll work pretty well."
Omega19x: "swirl it all around, so it really mixes." Ryou smiled, and started putting puff shells on the baking tray.
ph33r my rod: Malik mixed and mixed and mixed, so that it looked more like a chocolate marshmallow than anything else.
Omega19x: Ryou passed him the baking sheet to put in the oven.
Omega19x: "Soon we'll have s'morepuffs!"
ph33r my rod: "Yep. And it'll be just like we're at camp again!" Malik grinned and put the puff shells into the oven.
Omega19x: Ryou giggled.
Omega19x: *magical pufflapse*
ph33r my rod: *wheee*
ph33r my rod: Once the puff shells were cooled a little, Malik reheated the marshmallow-chocolate mixture a bit and brought it over so that they could both fill the shells.
Omega19x: Ryou passed him a spoon.
ph33r my rod: Malik started to fill the shells, though he had a little bit of trouble with the mixture. "...this is sticky!" He laughed a little.
Omega19x: "That's the marshmallows all right.
Omega19x: Ryou filled more puff shells.
ph33r my rod: Malik finished filling his half of the shells, then licked off his fingers. "...still good, though~"
Omega19x: Ryou licked his spoon when he was done. "... and now we have a big bowl of cream puffs."
Omega19x: "... but if we're 'camping,' then we're going to need some wild animals!"
ph33r my rod: "Yep." As if on cue, a pair of cats walked into the room, having heard their humans doing stuff in the kitchen.
Omega19x: "Aww... there's my little Zahra kitty." the white fluffy one hopped up into Ryou's lap.
ph33r my rod: Aisha simply sat down next to Malik's chair, looking up at him. "...I dunno if you girls will like s'morepuffs."
ph33r my rod: (( God, the way my cat does that, though... XD ))
Omega19x: Ryou suddenly got another idea. "... I think we need to make another batch of puffs, Malik."
ph33r my rod: Malik blinked and looked up at him. "Elaborate?"
Omega19x: "pass me another egg. I'm going to whip up some puff shells... you open a can of cat food..." Ryou smiled. "We'll make kitty puffs."
ph33r my rod: "...kitty puffs. That's cute." Malik did as instructed, and before long they had another batch of puffs, though these were... different than the usual ones.
Omega19x: Ryou made the puff shells a lot smaller too. That way, they'd be kitty sized. And the cats were already anxiously awaiting their new treat.
Omega19x: "... I think they're going to like them..."
ph33r my rod: Malik set a small plate of puffs down for the cats, then watched as they flocked right to the plate.
Omega19x: Zahra jumped right off Ryou's lap and pulled a kittypuff off the plate, mewing.
ph33r my rod: "I think they like them." Malik grinned.
Omega19x: Ryou popped a s'morepuff in his mouth. "mmm... we have done well, my knight in the... the shining colander."
ph33r my rod: "Yep." Malik popped a s'morepuff too. "We shall have to do this again, fair bishie."
Omega19x: The cats meowed in agreement.
ph33r my rod: (( Cute end? ))
Omega19x: (cuuuuute)
ph33r my rod: 8D Cute.
