ph33r my rod: Dude. It has t-shirts.
Omega19x: I just said that out loud, but didn't type it, therefore it doesn't exist.
ph33r my rod: ... XDDD
Omega19x: that is wonderful!
ph33r my rod: *nodnod* 8D
Omega19x: so getting bookmarked.
Omega19x: so, wanna continue our log?
ph33r my rod: *nodnod~*
Omega19x: where were we?
ph33r my rod: ph33r my rod: Malik looked down at Ryou's arm. "It's not there now..." He lightly touched the area where it had been.
Omega19x: "It was a couple years ago... That... It's just a scar now. Maybe if you look really hard you can still see it. But... but that's all it is."
ph33r my rod: "I'm glad it's not there anymore. 'Cause in my dream it was so bad that you couldn't walk."
Omega19x: "It... it was... pretty bad... But you helped me then... Like I'm helping you now..."
Omega19x: (then its your move)
ph33r my rod: (( Kay. *draws a card* ))
ph33r my rod: "...thanks." Malik dropped his head down to rest on Ryou's shoulder. "Isis and Rishid were the only ones who wanted to help me before..."
Omega19x: "... And they still do. And so do I... And so do your friends."
Omega19x: "... wiiiith the possible exception of a girl named Shiz who kinda wants you to fall in love with her and leave me... and sometimes your other self and the thief king... and the crazy sorcerers... but most everyone else wants to help..."
ph33r my rod: Malik looked back up at him, completely confused. "Other self? Like another me? But I'm me..." Malik pouted. "And girls are icky."
Omega19x: This was going to be hard to explain. "Well... you may just have to trust me on this one... but after that Battle City tournament I told you about... well... something weird happened. And there's kind of like two copies of people running around... and people from ancient Egypt... and there are even two of each millennium item."
ph33r my rod: Malik blinked and tilted his head. "...that doesn't sound real."
Omega19x: "... half of the stuff that's happened to us doesn't sound real..."
ph33r my rod: Malik eyed Ryou skeptically for a moment. "...but I'm gonna believe you 'cause... well, I dunno why. Just 'cause."
Omega19x: "... I'd never lie to you, Malik... Not about anything."
ph33r my rod: "You don't seem like the kinda person who would lie about stuff."
Omega19x: Suddenly, Ryou thought about something else. "Oh... you must be hungry! You've been in that hospital for days... and their food is horrible... I should have offered you something as soon as we got home..."
ph33r my rod: Honestly, Malik hadn't really noticed because he'd been preoccupied with trying to get used to the fact that he wasn't home in Egypt. "...I am kinda hungry."
Omega19x: "... I've... I've got just the thing... Something I bet you can remember..." Ryou started pulling out leftovers from the fridge. He heated up a big plate of koshari and set it down on the kitchen table for Malik.
ph33r my rod: Malik looked at the plate, a big smile forming on his face. "Koshari!"
Omega19x: "you remember it?" Ryou was excited.
ph33r my rod: "It's my favorite!" He grinned and looked up at Ryou. "How did you know...?"
Omega19x: "... it's... something you've shared with me... since we've been together. You were having a bad day the other day... the... the day of the accident, so I was making your favorite food to cheer you up..."
ph33r my rod: Malik had started eating it, but he stopped at the mention of an accident. "...accident?"
Omega19x: "... you were at work... at the motorcycle repair shop, where you work... and the big garage door fell right on your head..."
Omega19x: "That's why you can't remember things right now."
ph33r my rod: "But I don't have a job..." Instinctively, he reached up to feel for anything on his head, and he winced as he felt the still-healing wound. "But my head does hurt..."
Omega19x: "... d..don't touch it... It's going to hurt..." Ryou sat down next to him, with another plate of Koshari. "At least for a little while..."
ph33r my rod: "'Kay..." Malik nodded and continued to eat. "This is really good."
Omega19x: "Thanks..."
Omega19x: "I... I have something special for dessert too."
ph33r my rod: "Dessert?" Malik blinked, intrigued despite having half a plate of koshari left.
Omega19x: "Something else that's your favorite."
ph33r my rod: "I have more than one favorite?"
Omega19x: "... well, another favorite." Ryou brought out a bowl of stawberry cream puffs.
ph33r my rod: Malik blinked and looked at them. There was something familiar about the puffs, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it... "What are those?"
Omega19x: "They're called cream puffs." Ryou answered. "Go ahead... try one."
ph33r my rod: Malik took a puff out of the bowl and looked at it for a moment before taking a taste.
Omega19x: "They're strawberry... your favorite flavor..."
ph33r my rod: "...I feel like I've had something like this before."
Omega19x: "You have... many times."
ph33r my rod: Malik quickly devoured the rest of the puff. "I like it. It's really good!" He took another puff and started nibbling on it.
Omega19x: "Cream puffs are... are my favorite food."
ph33r my rod: "I can see why~ They taste... fluffy."
ph33r my rod: "You want one?" Malik took another puff and offered it to Ryou.
Omega19x: Ryou nodded, and took the puff. "I... I was hoping the cream puffs would help you remember..."
ph33r my rod: "Well..." Malik finished another puff and looked down on the table. "I kinda feel like this has happened before... um, don't they call that deja vu or something?"
Omega19x: "... It... it's progress... and... and progress may be slow..." Ryou reminded himself aloud. "I... I've got an idea!" he jumped out of his chair, and to the pantry, pulling out one of Malik's other favorites - a box of strawberry pocky.
ph33r my rod: Malik blinked, and for a second it seemed like he was his normal self. "I thought we were out of Pocky..."
Omega19x: "You remember Pocky?!" Ryou smiled, and hurried to get a stick out of the box... but it was empty... "... I... I guess we are out of Pocky..."
ph33r my rod: And then, as suddenly as it appeared, the memory relapse was gone again. "...what's that?"
Omega19x: "...it's Pocky... Well... it was Pocky... It's another snack. Something you really really like."
ph33r my rod: "...oh, okay. I wanna try it sometime, 'kay? It has a funny name but I bet it's good."
Omega19x: "... I'll pick some up at the store tomorrow..."
ph33r my rod: Malik smiled. "Okay!"
Omega19x: "Is there anything else I can get you?"
ph33r my rod: "Can't think of anything else... 'cept maybe some more cream puffs. Or strawberries! I like those~"
Omega19x: "I... don't have any more fresh strawberries... I used them all in the cream puff cream..."
ph33r my rod: "...oh. That's okay!" Malik smiled again, then yawned a little.
Omega19x: "... oh... it... it's been a long day... no wonder you're tired..."
ph33r my rod: Malik nodded and yawned again. "Where can I sleep? I'm tired..."
Omega19x: "... we share a bedroom." Ryou answered. "But... we... we don't have to if... if you're afraid... I just want you to be comfortable."
ph33r my rod: "C-could you stay with me? I don't wanna be by myself..."
Omega19x: "... Of course I'll stay with you."
Omega19x: Ryou wrapped an arm around Malik. "I... I always sleep better when I'm next to you...":
ph33r my rod: Malik leaned on Ryou's shoulder, trying to stifle another yawn. "'Kay..."
Omega19x: Ryou ran his fingers through Malik's hair (not near the staples of course.) "Everything will be all right..."
ph33r my rod: Malik nodded. "I hope so... 'cause you looked like you were gonna cry earlier. I didn't mean to make you sad..."
Omega19x: "... no... you... you're not making me sad... I... I just want you to remember so badly..."
ph33r my rod: "I'm trying..." Malik sniffled.
Omega19x: "I know you are... I know you are."
Omega19x: Ryou rubbed his back, trying to be as reassuring as possible.
ph33r my rod: "I mean... it's just hard. I wanna believe that you're telling the truth, and that I'm really not nine... b-but it's scary knowing that I coulda missed the last nine years of my life..." He wibbled.
Omega19x: "... Dr. Malouf said it's not permanent... not for sure... That your memories might come back." Ryou offered. "And... and... even if they don't... I... I promise you. I'll still love you, and I'll help you make new memories... We'll... we'll get through this together, just like we've gotten through everything else together that you don't remember."
ph33r my rod: Malik nodded and wiped at his eyes, yawning again. "'Kay... I promise I'll try real hard to remember."
Omega19x: "... And I'll be with you, every step of the way. No matter what."
Omega19x: He took Malik's hand, and led him to their bedroom.
ph33r my rod: Malik followed Ryou, holding onto his hand. When they got to the bedroom, Malik looked over at the bed. "... That looks a lot comfier than the bed in the hospital."
Omega19x: "It is." Ryou assured him.
ph33r my rod: Malik climbed up onto it, laying down under the covers.
Omega19x: Ryou climbed in next to him, and put an arm around him. He slowly leaned in, and kissed Malik on the cheek. "... comfortable?"
ph33r my rod: Malik smiled and nodded, blushing at the kiss. He cuddled closer, nudging his head underneath Ryou's chin. "It's a lot comfier than the hospital bed... and warmer."
Omega19x: "I'm glad..."
ph33r my rod: Malik yawned, getting comfortable. "Thanks for helping me..."
Omega19x: "Any time..." Ryou yawned a little as well.
ph33r my rod: It wasn't long before Malik was fast asleep, clinging to Ryou's shirt.
ph33r my rod: (( *still wibbly at them* ;; I got a few plans for things that'll help him, though~ :3 ))
Omega19x: (woot!)
Omega19x: (can't wait to see them.)
ph33r my rod: (( A couple of them have kinda already started XD Certain things will trigger something in his memory and make him relapse for a second, etc. ))
Omega19x: (ooh)
Omega19x: (dammit, I left the music file up at work)
ph33r my rod: D'oh. D:
Omega19x: yeah, d'oh is right.
Omega19x: ah, Malik and Ryou are still fluffy, though Ryou is trying his best not to wibble
ph33r my rod: *nod* ;; I think Malik's convinced that he's actually grown by now, so it's a start~
Omega19x: and that he has someone who wuvs him?
ph33r my rod: *nodnod*
ph33r my rod: Though it'll take a while to realize the actual extent of that wuv. I'm gonna have him find LJ and by some form of plot hole, remember that he has one. And then he will proceed to read through it in its entirety. :3
Omega19x: plothole = Ryou leaves the computer on and open so maybe Malik will read about himself?
ph33r my rod: That works XD
ph33r my rod: Wow. It has been revealed which state the Simpsons are from.
Omega19x: really?!
ph33r my rod: Yeah.
Omega19x: where?!
ph33r my rod: Vermont.
Omega19x: Vermont?!?
ph33r my rod: http://www.tvgasm.com/newsgasm/news/the-simpsons/the -simpsons-are-officially-fr.php
Omega19x: wow.
ph33r my rod: Somehow it feels like some of the magic is gone now XD
Omega19x: lol
Omega19x: *sigh* I think I'll head off to bed.
ph33r my rod: You okay? :o
Omega19x: eh, just feeling rather depressed tonight. That's all.
ph33r my rod: Ahh. D: *hugs* Feel better, 'kay? ;;
Omega19x: I'll try.
Omega19x: night!
ph33r my rod: Night~
