Your World

Pancake Palace

Later that night you had answered a few other questions from them, like when you left for work, if they could access your food, all of that fun stuff. You still remember the way Cobalt's face brightened up as you told them that they could grab food from your fridge at anytime. You had told them where the couch was and then promptly headed for bed, trusting them to make it on their own. You hadn't wanted to man handle them too much.

It was now that next morning and you were anything but awake. You stumbled half asleep out of your room and landed in a chair, dropping your head onto the table. A small groan left you as you forced yourself to stay awake.

"Hello Miss!" Your head sprung upwards, yellow eyes flashing as you looked for the source of the noise. Your blazing eyes landed on Cobalt and Rust causing you to smile tiredly, dropping your guard again.

"Mornin' Cobalt, Rust." You nodded to both of the bitties before sitting up straight and yawning. "You needin' somthin'?" You weren't the best linguist in the morning.

"Show us your abode." You eyed Rust at the command but didn't' say anything. At least he wasn't calling you human. "We require need of your rather lacking talents, human."

Damn. You kinda screwed yourself over for that one though.

You hummed softly as you thought. You could show them around. Would they let you pick them up though? Probably not. Well maybe Cobalt would, but Rust probably wouldn't. Then again he was the one requesting it.

"Yeah, you wanna ride on my shoulders?" Both Cobalt and Rust looked apprehensive at the idea. Rust actually looked disgusted, but you get the idea.

"I mean unless you have a better idea for getting around the house?" Cobalt seemed to pause, before he looked up at you determined and nodded.

"I will be brave Miss Halcyon!" You snickered and lowered a hand for the tiny bitty to clamber onto. As soon as he did he moved to stand in the middle of your palm, confusing you for a moment, but you shrugged it off. Moving your hand by your shoulder you sat up straighter giving him a place to sit on. He grabbed onto your tank top as soon as he sat down on your freckled shoulder, a determined look to his face. Rust, not one to be out done immediately stepped onto your hand as soon as it was down by him.

"It's not that I'm scared. Just cautious. You should be too." He reprimanded Cobalt as he approached your fingers. He too got onto your hand and stood straight in the middle, trying his hardest not to touch your fingers. Your brow furrowed slightly at that. Huh. Must be a bitty thing.

As soon as the two were on your shoulders you stood up slowly.

"Alright so this is the dining room." The dining room was fairly small, holding only a table and two chairs. A small painting was hooked onto the wall on the far wall.
You moved to the kitchen, pointing as you went. "This is the kitchen. I don't actually hang out in here often." The kitchen really wasn't anything of note. Two counters fought for space in the small area, resting beside a refrigerator on the right side and a stove on the left. A microwave, the most used thing in there, sat on the left counter, door slightly ajar.

"Over there is the living room where..." You stopped as you noted the two bitties sleeping peacefully. Gold and Copper were snoring in a nest of blankets looking cozy and comfortable. Your hand came up to your mouth to stop your giggles at the cuties. Shaking your head softly you quieted your voice as you continued.

"That's the living room, which I'm sure you've gotten acquainted to." The living room had a small couch, which now nested two small bitties, and across from it a TV. The TV was guarded by two wooden bookcases in sore need of actual books to occupy them.

You turned to your right and headed down a small hallway. "There's the bathroom and down the hall is my room." With your small tour done you moved to head back to the dining room.

"Really there's not much here. It's mostly just a cheap place I use to sleep." Your head swiveled to see Cobalt thinking. Rust, on the other hand, seemed underwhelmed.

"You may put me down now Human." You were really starting to dislike this bitty. Despite your sentiments however you moved to let him down on the table. Your hand hovered next to your other shoulder but Cobalt shook his head.

"I would like to continue to see things from your view Miss Halcyon!"

"Oh, alright. I'm just going to make breakfast for you all before I head over to get dressed." You checked the watch on your arm, a small black thing with green numbers that glowed in the dark. 8:27. "I gotta leave for my first round in about an hour and a half. More than enough time to figure out a good breakfast and make it. What shall we have mister Cobalt?"

"PANCAKES!"

. . .

Turns out pancakes were harder to make than you thought. It was around 9:40 when you finally got them all platted and ready. You took a minute to look at your once clean kitchen. Flour littered the counter where you and Cobalt had tried to mix your dry ingredients, along with a small empty space where Cobalt attempted a snow skeleton. Batter covered the walls from where you two had a heated debate about mixing your dough in a blender or with a whisk. Turns out Cobalt was right about the whisk thing. Finally your eyes caught sight of the slightly burned towels that sat in the sink, you had both accidentally set them on fire when you had turned on the stove along with a melted piece of plastic that you weren't quite sure what it was to begin with.

Whatever the morning had been it had turned out pretty good. Cobalt was obviously more relaxed around you now that he had spent some time with you. However you got the feeling that he would be the easiest to win over. You giggled happily as you looked at your mess, then turned to look at your stack. All in all they weren't too bad. Sure they were a little- shit was that a fire? Panicking slightly you rushed forward to pat out the small fire on the top most pancake. Once it went out you breathed a sigh of relief. Standing up you smiled again. Sure they were a little burnt, but you wouldn't turn them down.

Cobalt stood on your shoulder grinning down at your two's masterpiece.

"Shall we wake up the boys then?"

"We are already awake." That, my dear readers, was the unhappy voice of one Copper.

Spinning on your heel slowly you smiled down at the orange bitty.

"Heeeeeeey Copper." He didn't look amused, though he did look calmer now that he could see his brother. Almost as soon as his eyes landed on Cobalt an orange glow covered said brother. You watched in mild interest as Cobalt pouted as he was kinetically pulled down.

"Sorry Copper, we were just makin' breakfast."

"Yeah, well make breakfast on your own." He grumbled out. So he's not a morning person. You sighed heavily but nodded. Oh well. Looking at your watch you let out a soft curse. Time for you to head out, the first round for the day was beginning soon and you had to make it in if you were to be accepted.

Fridays were beast fightin' days. At least they started later than normal days, but that also meant they ended later. With a groan you headed towards your room to get dressed.

Pancake Palace could wait.
