[so. if you happen to be walking into one of the DR's kitchens right now, you may well happen across this male!xion, who seems to be having a bit of ... an issue ... with cooking. because he sucks at it.

in fact, it might be the loud crash that brings you running! to spot this little dude kneeling on the floor, a bowl on his head, covered in flour. positively ghost-like.

whether you say something or not, he's going to sigh enormously, get up, take the bowl off and set it on the messy table beside him, and shake his head out like a dog, getting flour all over everything in a five foot radius.

someone stop him before he explodes the kitchen or something.]

I've got to get this right eventually...

[See, Riku was just coming to get food, since she'd been... mostly hiding in her room all day, given the holiday. Nearly walking into a small cloud was not what she was expecting. She waves a hand through the air to clear it, very confused.]

Blowing things up?

[oh god Riku why you gotta walk in when I look like an idiot. a big flour-y idiot. laughs kinda sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck. ... hair still whitish with flour, too. ]

Uh ... not intentionally. I slipped and knocked the bowl off the table... I was trying to bake something. Turns out I'm not very good at cooking.

[Smirks a little, making her way further inside. She's heading for the fridge, thinking about one of her own kitchen disasters.]

I'm not very good at baking either. What were you planning to make?

[makes a face at her. sorta. but then he just sighs, bracing his elbows on table.]

A cake. Just a cake! I thought it couldn't possibly that hard, and now I think I might be finding flour in my clothes for weeks.

[gives his hair another scrub with a hand, causing a mini flourocalypse, but nothing as bad as before. his expression is "fml" in human form.]

At least it's not just me.

[Riku grabs a soda from the fridge and opens it, looking him over as she sips.]

Not just you. You should have seen the kitchen the first time I tried to make a birthday cake.

[Unfortunately for Riku, she made the mess with the wet ingredients already in. That took a lot of time to clean. Either way, she is amused by the state of his hair.]

... [has to smile a little at that. though because he used only one hand to scrub at his hair ... now one side is mostly black, the other still mostly white. looks RIDICULOUS, doesn't know it, send halp. ] Oh yeah? What happened?

[She is totally not going to point that out yet, but she is reaching for a kitchen towel.]

I used an electric mixer with the setting way too high.

[She leans against the counter, looking up.]

Pretty sure there's still some left on that ceiling.

[pauses for a moment, then just starts to laugh, quietly. can't help it, though -- looks up at the ceiling too. ... and then laughs again.]

Well, now I don't feel so bad about getting flour all over.

Edited 2010-02-15 07:06 (UTC)

Didn't think you would. I had three people help me after that mess.

[She shrugs, setting her drink down and moving over to him. The towel is getting dropped over his head.]

[--what. blinks, shifting it back so he can peek out at Riku from under it. getting the hint, he scrubs vigorously at his hair, then pulls the towel off. ... well, it's black now, but also sticking up real funny all over. kid can't win. grins a little at her.]

Thanks. Though, I might need three people to help me clean up all this flour...

Edited 2010-02-15 07:31 (UTC)

[Much better. She's the only one around here who needs white-ish hair. Sorry, Xion, but she's not going to point out how it's sticking up.]

I'll help if you'll let me grab something to eat first.

Sure. [... still grinning. teasing, what is teasing--] Sure you don't want me to make you something?

[Smiles at that, very amused, and shakes her head.]

I think I'll do it myself.

[laughs and waves a hand at her, gesturing for her to get her food while he gets a jump on the whole cleaning up thing.]

[Checkin' the freezer, because she doesn't feel like really cooking something at this hour. Hello, she'll just pull out this frozen pizza and drop it down on the counter beside the oven. Which will be set to preheat before she turns back around. Right, cloths. How spread out is this mess?]

[Spread out ... enough. A lot of it is on the floor, thanks to the bowl falling, so they're both probably tracking flour everywhere. It's also all over the table, and on a few other surfaces because of Xion trying to shake all that flour of. ... but at least it's not on the ceiling! Sneezes when flour gets up his nose, then SIGHS HUGELY.]

[Nevermind, she's grabbing a broom first, sweeping up what she can very carefully. Do not want more flour clouds, after all. Xion gets a glance at the sneeze, and she half-smiles.]

You alright?

I'm fine. Ju-- [SNEEZES and coughs a little.] --there's just a lot of flour. This would probably be faster if we had a vaccuum... [despite that, has grabbed the bowl the flour was once in and has started pushing the flour off the table into it. small amount of progress go!]

Probably. Try not to breathe it in.

[She has successfully made a small pile of flour, and is now going after the flour dusting the area around his feet.]

A little hard when there's so much...

[ack. doesn't want to move and track more around the room, but Riku in close quarters = ffffffffffffff. suddenly a little awkward, tries very hard not to show it, and probably fails.]

[Lucky for him, Riku is mostly oblivious, and more or less focused on sweeping up the flour. But--]

Move your feet.

[... moves. and just keeps cleaning up, silently, not looking at her. he has definitely not forgotten what happened last time they were near each other, but the mere idea of bringing it up is... well...

cleans.]

[Oh, that. Riku's tried hard to forget all about that, and hopes he's done the same. She definitely does notice his silence, but isn't going to ask. She just looks at him, then sweeps the flour away from that area. Now where's that dustpan?]

[He's tried. Really he has. It just doesn't help that she's one of the very few people in the DR he likes, much less trusts. And after he was forced to fall in love, he's ... not sure how he feels anymore.

Dustpan is ... probably in a cabinet beneath the sink or something. Xion just glances up with the oven makes a noise, a long beeeeeeeep. Meaning it's at cooking temperature, of course, but Xion actually started a little, staring at it in bewilderment.]

[Oh yeah, her pizza. She pauses in her quest for the dustpan, looking up at it and grabbing another cloth to dust off her hands. Once that's done, she'll go about unwrapping the pizza.]

[what the hell is this strange and wondrous machine. awkward conquered by sheer curiosity, Xion follows her, blinking]

Why did it make that noise? That was weird. I almost knocked over the flour again.

Huh?

[...oh. Sometimes she forgets how... clueless Xion is. She pulls the pizza out, and steps back over to the oven to open it.]

Sorry. It was telling me it was warm enough to put this in now.

[Wooooah, blast of heat from the open oven. Xion steps back, startled once again, then suddenly laughs.]

And I wonder why I can't cook. I don't even know how most of these things work!

You can learn.

[Riku smirk a little, placing the pizza inside on the rack and closing the oven. Now, to set the timer.]

Heh. I'd have to ask someone. But it'd have to be someone pretty ... well, they'd have to be really patient, I guess. [kinda sheepish smile.]

[Oh, Xion. How could she not say this, after that?]

I could show you.

[you can't resist how adorable he is. especially when he lights up, all kinds of hopeful.]

Really? You wouldn't mind?

[No, it looks like she can't. Shakes her head, half-smiling.]

I wouldn't mind.

[b-beams.]

Great! Just ... let me know when you want to, I guess.

[g-goes back to cleaning, too. visibly very pleased.]

[Riku shrugs, going back to the dustpan search.]

That's up to you. I don't have anything else I need to do.

[Someone he doesn't know! Fantastic, he doesn't have to flinch or growl. He approaches him, cautious, and dusts a bit of flour off of the service when he's done shaking himself off.]

What are you trying to get right?

[A Roxas! Xion perks up for half a second ... then realizes it's a guy and kinda sighs, looking back at the table]

Uh ... a cake. It's not as easy as recipes make it sound.

[Roxas points at his hair, ears twisting in a way that suggests shaking his hair out.]

You need dry and wet ingredients.

[blinks back up at him. pause. ... paaaause. YOU ... YOU HAVE CAT EARS! Xion looks momentarily kind of bewildered, but does his best not to let it sway him, trying to focus on the topic at hand again]

Uh .... y-yeah, I did get that. I'm just not that great at putting everything together, I guess. I slipped and knocked over that flour, for starters. [runs a hand through his hair and RAINS FLOUR. coughs and sighs.]

[Yeeees he has cat ears. And he notices how he falters, but doesn't say a word.]

You'll want to put the bowls on a mat so they don't slide.

[He states, grabbing a few from a high counter and parking them on the counter's surface.]

[headtilts at him, eyebrows rising a little] So ... you know how to cook, huh?

I... had to.
