Omega19x: Ryou turns on the CD player, and puts
in one of Malik's favorite Psycho Le Cemu CD's.
ph33r my rod: Malik just kind of stood there and listened.
It did sound familiar somehow, but like everything else that
seemed familiar lately, he didn't know how.
ph33r my rod: He closed his eyes and just listened,
hoping it would spark something.
Omega19x: Ryou watched from the doorway,
hoping it would as well.
ph33r my rod: Malik listened for a bit, then suddenly, he
started singing along and doing para para!
Omega19x: Ryou just watched. He couldn't have
known that as a child!
ph33r my rod: Malik grinned and grabbed Ryou's hands,
pulling him over to dance with him.
Omega19x: Ryou grinned, and eagerly joined in.
"It... it worked!"
ph33r my rod: (( brb ))
ph33r my rod: But as soon as the song ended, Malik
stopped dancing and blinked, looking just as lost as he did
before. "...that was a neat song."
Omega19x: "... you were dancing to it... with
dances that you learned here in Japan."
ph33r my rod: "I was?" All Malik knew was that he felt
tired. Maybe he really had been dancing...
Omega19x: Ryou nodded. "It looked like you
remembered it!"
ph33r my rod: "...huh. That's kinda weird..." Malik
scratches his head, one arm still around Ryou.
ph33r my rod: "But um... I liked the song?"
Omega19x: Ryou pushed the button to another
track, a song that he hoped would stir memories
from a certain karaoke night during their cruise.
ph33r my rod: Malik listened to it, trying as hard as he
could to make any connections inside his mind, but it
seemed like his Random Relapse quota for the day had
been filled. "...this is a nice song, too."
Omega19x: "You sang it to me once..." Ryou
wrapped his arms around Malik. "And I loved it."
ph33r my rod: "I'd... sing it to you again if I could
remember it." Malik hugged him back. "Sorry..."
Omega19x: "It's okay. We can just listen to it
together, if you like..."
ph33r my rod: Malik nodded. "'Kay... I like that idea."
