Best Friends 4Ever! [Vegas, Inanna]

When Alex leaned over her she had her view of the ceiling filled with a beaming face that made her mirror the expression on her own features. Watch TV, that did sound pretty good! She'd tired of watching TV and reading from how long she spent being a hermit without Alex but having her bestie here made these four walls all the world that she needed to be happy.

"I think that's a genius idea! We can just lounge around our PJs all day and hang out. We didn't really get a chance to do that since you arrived."

A little ahead of herself she went to get up and initiate their genius scheme for the day and in her excitement forgot that Alex was above her so she bumped their foreheads together and she winced. Ow.

"Sorry."

She mumbled with closed eyes before her head fell back into the pillow and she rubbed her forehead a little. It didn't hurt much but she still gave her a small headbutt.

Alex was all too excited to see Inanna liked the idea, and as their heads bumped into each other, she winced mostly in surprise at the impact, before giggling briefly at it.

"No need to apologize! It was an accident after all, right?"

Without any particular hesitation, or even real thought on the matter, she leaned down and kissed Inanna on the forehead where they'd impacted, before hopping off the bed and stretching.

"Alright! Let's get some breakfast and see what's on!"

Inanna paused as she felt the peck to her forehead, with her eyes closed she frowned a little as she wondered how she felt about that. It was the kind of thing mum would do. Ah well, Alex was already up and Inanna wasn't going to fall behind!

"Right!"

She hastily got up and stumbled out of bed onto her feet before dashing ahead of Alex in her nightie. She'd get first pick of the food that she could find. The whole act of breakfast with Alex was a game, well anything could be a game if they tried hard enough.

"Whaddya want for breakfast, Alex?"

"Pancakes!"

There was no hesitation in Alex's answer, and it was the exact same answer she gave every single time the question was asked of her. She loved pancakes, or, well, she loved the syrup, but it made the pancakes taste good too!

"Hm, but that'd be hard to make, and I don't think I can make 'em as good as mom does... Maybe waffles? They're pretty much the same!"

"No way, we can make pancakes!"

Her best friend asked for pancakes and so Inanna wanted to give her pancakes, she also liked pancakes so that was a big win! Honestly she was sure that she'd seen her mum make them enough to copy her technique. It wouldn't be perfect but Inanna would try her hardest.

"Let's make each others' pancakes, the best meal is one made for you with love."

At least that's what she told her mum when she made her food. The danava was already pulling out all the ingredients to drop on the bench and ready to cook. Got to make them with everything she's got for Alex.

Alex thought about that for a second, but then she nodded, firmly agreeing with that assessment. It only made sense to her!

"Right, that's true! And if that's the case then we'll pretty much make the best food ever, right?"

After all, they had plenty of love to spare as best friends! Alex began looking through the ingredients, segmenting everything out more or less close to how she remembered her mom doing it. It probably wasn't perfect, but hey, it was close.

"Right!"

She grinned at the agreement, she just had to muster the depths of her hard work and care but as soon as she went to start she paused for a moment. She wanted it to be perfect, she couldn't mess up or do it haphazardly. Inanna was jumping hoops, her very soul running circles in itself to find the answer that she sought. How to make the best pancakes that Alex has ever had.

"I got it!"

Inanna declared suddenly with inspiration and dove into her work. She was going to do the best pancakes ever, not because she had to but because she really, really wanted to and she was free to pour all the hard work.

Naturally, being outdone was out of the question for Alex, and she went right to work with just as much effort. Admittedly, it took a little longer for her to come up with a plan, and even longer still for her to really think of how she'd go through with it, but once she had that all mapped out in her head she got right to work!

"You're pretty good at this!"

Of course, there had been some learning alongside her mom over the past few months, so Alex's skills in the kitchen had definitely improved, but by and large she was still sort of just winging it on this one. Not that it mattered, though! After all, she was making these with love!

She worked hard, completely absorbed in her own work as she dedicated all the focus into her delicate process. This was a precise job after all, she didn't even realise she'd slipped into her Focused State with her nightie becoming more like a small dress as she worked. The messy hair behind her waving while she worked. It all came together until she moved the batter to begin getting it on the heat.

Inanna even cheated a little bit by forcing the shape of her batter into the shape of star, Alex loved her star hairclips. She didn't believe it was cheating though, it was just using everything at her disposal to show her best friend how much she cared.

Then it was done! She just had to redo it and make a bunch for Alex. Probably more than was needed but she wanted to be sure that her friend had her fill!

"Here you go Alex, do you like it?"

Looking over at her friend as she worked, it was only after she'd nearly finished her own batch of pancakes that she realized what had actually changed. It caught her off guard, so much so that she nearly burned her batch and had to hurriedly pull them off.

"Wah! Nanna! You look different!"

It really caught her off guard, though her attention turned quickly to the pancakes that Inanna had made, and her eyes practically lit up as she saw them.

"These look perfect! Oh, you've really been working, huh? You put a ton of love in. Is that why you look different?"

And right into her mouth the first pancake went, looking mostly just curiously at Inanna as she waited for an explanation of the change. She didn't mind it or anything, this was her best friend after all, and she looked so pretty!
