ph33r my rod: Malik was in the bedroom, curled up on the bed, deep in thought.
Omega19x: Ryou walked in, snacking on a late night banana-flavored cream puff. "You okay?"
ph33r my rod: Malik looked up at him, nodding a little. "I guess..."
Omega19x: "What's wrong?"
ph33r my rod: "I'm just thinking about stuff... like everything we've done and talked about in the last few days, and the stuff I read about on that journal, and the dreams I've been having... stuff like that."
Omega19x: "oh..." Ryou climbed onto the bed, next to him. "Has it... helped?"
Omega19x: "Did you have another dream?"
ph33r my rod: "Yeah..." Malik leaned over to rest his head in Ryou's lap. "'Cept this one was scarier than the others."
Omega19x: "... a... a bad dream?"
ph33r my rod: "It was just... scary. Even more so 'cause it prolly happened for real, given the track record with my other dreams..."
Omega19x: "What happened in your dream?"
Omega19x: Ryou figured that was probably the case... and a lot of scary things had happened to them. But he couldn't help Malik unless he knew what the dream was.
ph33r my rod: "We were up in this... place. Looked like it was all made out of metal or something. And there were these grey guys all over the place, and then some other stuff happened... can't really remember it, but it ended with us and a bunch of the grey guys, and they were really little."
Omega19x: "... that... was scary when it happened... kind of... but... it's not a bad dream. It... it was a good dream..."
ph33r my rod: (( brb 0)
ph33r my rod: (( djksakdas >_< I just banged the SHIT out of my elbow. D: ))
Omega19x: (*hands ice*)
ph33r my rod: (( *takes* ;; ))
ph33r my rod: Malik lifted his head a little. "...really?"
Omega19x: "... I... it was scary... but... then they were born..."
ph33r my rod: "...born?"
Omega19x: "There were four of them... Jihan, Zahi, Vega, and Hoshi... They're my babies..."
ph33r my rod: "But you're a boy..." Malik looked confused and a little scared.
Omega19x: "... it's... it's okay... I'm... I'm okay now... They were aliens... from another planet..." he pointed out the window, up at the stars. "From way up there somewhere..."
ph33r my rod: Malik looked out the window, thinking about that for a second. "Aliens...?" He looked back at Ryou. "Did I have them, too?"
Omega19x: "No!" Ryou put a hand on Malik's shoulder, to reassure him. "You didn't... It was just me..."
ph33r my rod: "...oh." Malik laid his head down again. "What happened after they were... um, born?"
Omega19x: "We had them for a little while... until the aliens came and got them. They've got to be almost all grown up by now..."
ph33r my rod: "Wow..." Malik was actually more curious about the situation than scared, now. "Did they come back and visit, ever?"
Omega19x: "A couple of times." Ryou smiled. "Though I haven't seen them in a long time. They used to send me tiny silver beads that had pictures and all sorts of things inside them."
ph33r my rod: "...do you still have them?"
Omega19x: Ryou nodded, and opened the drawer by the side of the bed. There was a tiny glass box, and inside were a few small beads. "Sometimes they didn't last. But... here's the ones I have."
ph33r my rod: Malik sat up. "Do any of them still work at all?"
Omega19x: Ryou picked one up, and tried to remember how it opened. Most of the time, he fiddled with them until something must have worked. Before long, a little slide show was projected on the wall. "... turn off the light, Malik."
ph33r my rod: Malik nodded and got up to turn off the light, then joined Ryou back on the bed.
Omega19x: The pictures showed the little babies being fed with heat sticks, being held by the aliens, looking oh so cute.
ph33r my rod: Malik snuggled next to Ryou, watching the little slideshow. "That's... that's really them?"
Omega19x: Ryou nodded. "All four of my little ones..."
Omega19x: "They ate by absorbing warmth..."
ph33r my rod: It seemed like seeing the babies triggered something with in Malik's memory. "It's been a long time since we've seen them... I wonder how big they are now."
Omega19x: At first, Ryou didn't notice it. He was thinking about them. "I wonder what kind of things they're doing... I wonder if their planet ever won that war... or if they started another colony elsewhere..."
ph33r my rod: "Hopefully they got away from the Klingoffs. Those guys were brutal."
Omega19x: Then Ryou realized what Malik was saying. "Klingoffs... I never said anything about Klingoffs... Malik, you remember the Klingoffs!"
ph33r my rod: Malik blinked up at him, the relapse having already faded. "Klingoffs?"
Omega19x: "... well, really, that's okay if you don't remember remembering them... They would make a bad dream..."
ph33r my rod: "...if you say so." Malik laid his head on Ryou's shoulder, watching the last couple of pictures in the slideshow. "I don't like bad dreams. I... had a lot of them when I lived underground."
Omega19x: Ryou let the little metal ball stop playing, and put his arm around Malik. "I used to have bad dreams a lot too..."
ph33r my rod: "If you have one again, let me know and I'll chase it away, 'kay?"
Omega19x: "As long as you're next to me... all my dreams are sweeter than a whole box of cream puffs."
ph33r my rod: "...that's good. That's really sweet, isn't it."
Omega19x: "You remember how sweet the cream puffs I made you were."
Omega19x: "Think... even sweeter than that!"
ph33r my rod: Malik thought about that, and smiled. "Yep. That's really really sweet!"
Omega19x: Ryou smiled, and pecked him lightly on the cheek.
Omega19x: "I bet the aliens would know how to make all your memories come back... they're really advanced technologically. And they helped me before..."
Omega19x: ( awww... looky, it's cute )
ph33r my rod: "Is there any way to contact them at all?"
ph33r my rod: (( ...awww <3 ))
Omega19x: "... I... I don't know. Usually, they were the ones that contacted me..."
ph33r my rod: "...oh." Malik had looked hopeful for a moment, but his face fell in disappointment.
Omega19x: "I... I'll find a way... somehow..."
Omega19x: "Maybe someone knows... I... I'll find a way! I promise!"
ph33r my rod: Malik wrapped his arms around Ryou, hugging him tightly. "Okay..."
Omega19x: "I promise."
ph33r my rod: "Thank you..." Malik blushed and leaned up to peck his cheek. "You've already done so much for me... I dunno how I'd ever be able to repay you."
Omega19x: "You don't have to... I know exactly what's in your heart."
ph33r my rod: Malik smiled. "I think... I do too, now."
Omega19x: (d'awwww)
ph33r my rod: (( Indeed~ :3 ))
