☼☾ Sun & Moon 02 | Apollo and Midnighter
[Midnighter and Apollo, who are now a bit younger--and more fantasy-looking--than usual are attempting to cook as the berry turns on. Midnighter (from here on out called Lucas) is staring at a pot of water that sounds like it’s boiling. Impatient, he turns the burner knob up higher and puts a cover on it.
Apollo, also known as Andrew this week, is currently wrestling with an ice block that is probably supposed to be frozen chicken breasts. Okay so much for cutting these things into more manageable pieces, he’ll just cook them whole.] Okay, we’re supposed to season these before I throw them in the oven, I know that much. Now which of these jars of green stuff is the rosemary...?
[Lucas turns and arches a brow, not that it’s noticeable under all the dark grey markings all over his face.] What the fuck is rosemary? Isn’t that an old lady name? I’m pretty sure that’s the name of our ancient nurse at school.
No, it’s some kind of herb. I don’t know, it was in the recipe! Fine, we’ll just go with this. [That’s actually thyme he’s thickly coating those frozen chicken breasts with, but oh well. Once he’s got them basically covered in green stuff, he slides them into a dish, not an oven-safe one, and sticks it into the oven - with the temperature as high as the oven goes.] How’s the rice coming?
The water’s taking forever to boil. My mom always made it seem like it boils so damn fast when she cooks. [Looks over at the pot, which is sort of shaking, though Lucas is thinking this is normal.]
Maybe you just have to- let the heat build up in the pot. I don’t know, I don’t watch my mom cook because she hates people looking over her shoulder. How hard can it really be though? Things’ll be great. [Andrew beams, a little more shyly than Apollo ever does, and leans in to peck Lucas on the lips, which he happily returns (OMG, Midnighter’s smiling like a normal person!), siding a little closer to watch the pot.]
I’ve watched my mom a little bit, because Jenny likes to watch her and with mom cooking, someone has to make sure she doesn’t do something stupid like stick her hand on the burner when mom’s not looking. [Lucas kisses Andrew, a bit more firm than Andrew did.] She makes it look so easy, so we’ll be fine, goldilocks.
Mmh. I told you not to call me that. [But he’s damn sure not protesting that kiss; it emboldens him a bit and he’s leaning in for another, in that slightly awkward looking way that inexperienced teenagers have. They’re awfully touchy-feely, though.]
Oh come on, with hair like this, how can I not? [Lucas touches what was once Andrew’s Apollo avatar, but now Andrew himself; a handsome, blond Wavemaster with shoulder-length platinum hair. It’s still weird, being able to touch an avatar. But you know what, he’s not complaining.]
I told you, it’s my natural color! You don’t have to make jokes about it! [But he’s laughing a little, enjoying this time he’s still not used to having with Lucas. Not exactly Lucas, it’s him in his avatar’s body, and it’s all kind of weird, but he’s clearly just so happy to be able to touch him like this... He’s leaning in for another kiss when he pauses, frowns slightly.] Do you smell something burning?
Don’t be so fucking touchy, Andy. [Damn it, Andrew! Lucas was halfway towards that kiss when he stops. Originally it was to smell something burning, but it quickly becomes attempting to dodge the cover that blew off the overflowing pot. Andy’s quickly yelping and throwing himself at the floor to avoid the pot-splosion.] HOLY SHIT!
What the hell did you do Lucas?!
How the hell should I know?! The pot attacked me! [Looks down at his arm where he has a small burn.] Pha Repth [He glows for a second and the burn fades.] Did you figure out what’s burning?
Oh hell it’s probably- [Yeah, he’s pulling on some oven mitts and taking the chicken out. Totally scorched on the outside, stinking of burnt herbs, and when he hesitantly cuts into one, it’s raw and stone cold inside.] ...So, cereal again tonight?
[Hesitantly turns the burner off, moving as though the stove might turn sentient and attack him at any moment.] Sounds good to me. [And he’ll be moving to go get it out of the pantry.]
[OOC: So Midnighter and Apollo have been canon swapped into the .Hack universe, where they got stuck in their avatars when they came to the facility. Midnighter's a twin blade and looks like this and Apollo's a wavemaster that looks relatively like this. Also, they're 16 and 15 respectively.]
