"pffft.. I gu3ss w3'r3 a littl3 lat3 on not makin abdi3l worry about us" Meifra mentions, standing up and holding her hand out to Zai. ">ll..llet mme gguess hhe sspammed tthe ffuck oout oof mmy ttrolliian ddiidn't hhe" Zai takes Mei's hand and stands up, proceeding to dust himself off. Not that the floor is particularly dirty. Mei laughs a little as she throws her leg over the back of the couch and slides into the seat, patting for Zai to join her until Abdiel arrives. "> mmeiifra. ooh mmy ggod. MMEIIFRA." he stammers around the side of the couch dramatically, staring intently at her with his mouth open. "w..what zai?" she answers him. He starts doing all these stupid motions of walking around the side of the couch before half sitting down, and standing back up again. "> ddiid yyou ssee tthat? wwhat ii jjust ddiid??" Mei already knows what's coming. She knows what he's doing, the smart ass. She sighs and shrugs her arms, letting him do his thing. "> ii ffound oout yyou ccan jjust... WWALK AAROUND TTHE CCOUCH. iit's ffuckiing iinsane rriight?? wwe nno llonger hhave tthe nneed tto vvault oourselves oover ppiieces oof ffurniiture lliike tthat aanymore. wwoah." Zai sits down on the couch next to her and tucks his feet under himself, you know, where the feet just hang off the edge of the couch just a bit. Meifra giggles and lightly smacks his arm, "ohhh my r3333ally? that's wond3rful n3ws d3ar! i'll hav3 to t3ll our b3lov3d gu3st wh3n h3 arriv3s that, you in fact, don't hav3 to pol3 vault ov3r furnitur3 anymor3. >:3" Lurzai looks a little put off by being called dear, but brushes it off quickly. He cracks a little smile before reaching for the remote to pick something for them to watch, however before he can there's a knock at the door. Mei freezes for a moment before walking into the hallway and peeking back into the living room. Zai gets up and opens the door, and to no surprise its Abdeil. Meifra runs back into the living room and practically pulls Abdiel in by his sleeves. "ABDI333333L!!! :33!! ♥ ♥ " Meifra squeaks and giggles, pulling him in for a side hug. "(,,heeyy meifra, im glad youre okay haha,,)" Abdiel pats her gently on the back. After a short pause and the door closes, Abidel nods at Zai and smiles "(hey zai)". Lurzai starts to make a rude face at him for referring to him as "Zai" but see's Meifra in the kitchen staring daggers into him. Lurzai replies, "> hhello AAbdiiel." and walks into the back of the kitchen with his arms crossed. "W3LL!! now that you'r3 h3r3 Abdi3l!!! you can pick what w3'r3 making, sinc3 you didn't r3spond to my qu3stion!! 3:<" Abdeil puts his arm across the other, a little uncomfortable from Lurzais obviously not friendly stance in the back of the kitchen. "(y,,yeah sorry about that. i was just really,, confused as to why you were using,, Lurzais trollian is all)" he responds. Meifra stands up from leaning over on the counter and pulls Abdeil fully into the kitchen, seeing as how he was standing right where the kitchen ends. "it's okay!! don't b3 shy, Zai won't bit3 you!! w3'r3 all h3r3 to hav3 fun and cook som3thing yummy tog3th3r! :3!!!" She walks beind him, and gently pushes his back to be between her and Zai. He obviously isn't very comfortable standing so close to someone who's so much higher than oneself on the hemospectrum.
Abdiel stands completely still for a moment before reaching for the box of Mac'n'bees, turning it over to see the ingredients they need. Meifra, still smiling obliviously towards Abdiels discomfort hums a little tune while she waits on him to make his choice. Lurzai has been staring off into the distance, not caring which item Abdiel picks. "(i,, think you guys have the ingredients for this one?,,)" Abdiel says, looking directly at Mei. "> wwell iit's JJUST mmac'n'bees. ii'd ssure hhope wwe'd hhave tthe iitems ffor iit." Lurzai mentions, a little snappy. Abdiel gently sets the box back down on the counter, unsure of what to do and tries to scoot away from Zai unnoticed. "w3ll!! l3t's g3t cooking th3n! what's th3 first st3p ch3f? :3" Mei chirps out. Both Lurzai and Abdiel reach for the box at the same time thinking they are the Chef. "> uuh?" Zai rudely snarks out. "(,,,,,,,,,sorry- i was just goi-)" Abdiel starts to say before being cut off by Zai reading the directions out loud. While he reads a lot, he rarely ever reads things out loud and is struggling to enunciate the words fluently and starts to stutter a bit. "> pp-preheat tthe ooven tt...tto 350 ddegrees ffahrenheit-" as he continues listing off the next step, Mei bounces over to the stove setting the temperature. "n3xt!! :3" she mentions walking back over to them and grabs Abdiels arm. Lurzai notices and immediately glares at Abdiel before continuing. "> hhmmmmm.. wwe nneed aa bbowl, aa ccup oof wwater, aand tthe mmeasuring ccup." Abdiel tries his best to speak up, but his voice is a little shaky. "(,,i can get the bowl and,, water)" Meifra lets his arm go as she gets the measuring cup and packet of powder from the box. After Abdiel fills the bowl up with water, she pours a 1/2 cup of the mixture into the bowl and Lurzai stirs it up. "> ookay. nnow wwe nneed tto ppour tthiis iinto,, tthe ddeep ppan aand bbake iit ffor 15 mmiinutes." Meifra pours it into the pan, and starts to slide it into the oven. "do3s it matt3r which sh3lf it go3s on? :3" she asks, looking at Abdiel. "(i think it s,,said goes on th-)"  Abdiel starts to reply before being interrupted "> nno." Abdiel obviously aware that something is bothering Zai, looks at Mei to see if she's picking anything up from this or if he's just doubting himself again. Meis face is.. Hard to discern. She seems disapointed maybe? A little sad that her hivemate is being disrespectful to her guest? Or maybe the heat from the oven is making her eyes dry and causing her to squint at Lurzai. "w3ll, whil3 that's h3ating up i'm pawsitiv3 you two can do th3 r3st whil3 i us3 the r3stroom!" Meifra mentions as she leaves the kitchen and goes down into the hallway, leaving the two boys to either kill each other or talk about it. Abdiel extremely uncomfortable about being left in the same room as Zai, starts to sit down on the floor with his knees against his chest, and murmurs out from them "(,,,do you,, not lik-)" again, Zai interrupts him. "> ii aalready kknow wwhat yyou're ggoiing tto aask mme. nno, ii ddon't. ii tthiink yyou're ttoo cclose tto mmeiifra. ii tthiink yyou sshould've bbeen cculled ffor bbeiing, wwell, yyou." Zai refuses to look down at him, his arms still crossed across his chest. Abdiel replies, "(,,,,,mei is a mutant too,,, though,,, and s-she invit-ted me,,, i diddnt ask tto be here,,)" Lurzai snaps his eyesight onto Abdiel and walks closer to him "> sshe iis DDIFFERENT. aand sstop ccalliing hher "mmeii", eeven ii ddon't ddo tthat." Abdiel leans away from him, still sitting with his knees up "(,,you're just afraid to call her that,,,,)" he whispers out. Lurzai leans over Abdiel on the ground, and unfolds his arms. "> WWHAT?" he snaps at Abdiel. 

He looks up at Lurzai leaning over him with tears streaming down his face. "(,,i dont know what i,, e,,EVER,, did to you,, im s-s-sorry youre so i,,insecure you cant handle someone calling y-your friend,, a nickname bbut you need,, to get your head out of your,, nook right nnow a-and get over yourself,,,)". Lurzai straightens back up as Abdiel gets up off the floor, wiping his tears off on his sleeves. Lurzai now a little worried since Abdiel is much taller than him, takes a few steps back and scoffs. Abdiel dusts himself off and immediately realizes that the during the whole spiff they left the Mac'n'bees in the oven for too long. Abdiel quickly opens up the oven to receive a face full of smoke, and it smells like DEATH. "> ggreat! yyou bburned iit." Lurzai says, slightly laughing. Abdiel quickly turns around to Zai and shoves the extremely hot pan into his hands, and leaves the kitchen to go look for Meifra. Even though Lurzai can't feel the heat in his prosthetics he still jerks his arms backwards and drops the pan onto the ground, spilling the contents AND breaking the pan.
