*knock knock knock knock*
Thrax: Ah. Here he is. *hitches Ozzy up and answers the door*
Drix: *is standing there* *blinks at the two dreadlocks poking out from behind Thrax's head kind of 'bunny ear' style... Ozzy's still feeling playful*
Thrax: *notices Drix's look and turns to Ozzy sighing* Okay Ozzy that's enough. *turns to Drix* Glad you could come Drix.
Drix: Thank you for the invitation. *smiles*
Thrax: *returns the smile* You're very welcome and sorry about Ozzy's behaviour. *smirks at the white blood-cell*
Ozzy: **snickers*
Thrax: *turns back to Drix* Please come in. *gestures inside*
Drix: *Comes in* Thank you
Thrax: *leads him into the kitchen* It's not much but it's all I could make. *gestures to spread of food and unhitches Ozzy from his back*
Drix: It looks wonderful
Thrax: *notices the look* Surprised? *sets Ozzy down on the chair and ties a bib round his neck*
Ozzy: Hey... C'mon not with Drix here.. *starts to remove it*
Drix: Ozzy considering your current physical state I think you may want to wear one to spare your clothes.~
Thrax: That's what I said earlier. *tightens the knot*
Ozzy: *whines*
Drix: *chuckles* That's kind of cute.
Thrax: *chuckles lightly* I know. *kneels in front of Ozzy* I know you're not too fond of this but considering the circumstances. *strokes Ozzy's cheek*
Ozzy: *nods a little*
Thrax: *kisses his forehead* Good boy. *turns to Drix* Help ya self Drix, there's plenty. *sits in front Ozzy, lifts up a bowl of warm soup for him*
Drix: * helps himself to a plate*
Thrax: *blows on the spoonful of soup to cool it, before lifting to Ozzy's face*
Ozzy: *eats, knowing there's no getting out of being fed, besides he's kinda starting to like how Thrax takes care of him.*:
Thrax: *smiles at his ‘son‘, memories of his first child coming back to him as he continues to feed Ozzy*
Ozzy: *smiles softly ,still eating*
Drix: *seems curious about the relationship the two of them seem to have developed, finding it frankly quite sweet*
Thrax: *finishes feeding Ozzy, taking a napkin in his hand and wipes Ozzy's face*
Ozzy: *reaches for him*
Thrax: *lifts him, sets him in his lap as he places his bottle between his lips and holds him close*
Drix: *can't help it, reaches over and places a large but gentle hand on the cell's back*
Thrax: *looks up at Drix smiling before turning back to Ozzy*
Drix: *pats Ozzy's back a little*
Thrax: *smiles* Kind of makes you think about what you missing in your life when it's no longer there. *kisses Ozzy's forehead*
Drix: *nods a little though admittedly... he's never been a parent*
Thrax: *takes the bottle out of Ozzy's mouth, lifting him to his shoulder and pats his back*
Ozzy: *cuddles him, eyes closing, seeming sleepy*
Thrax: *rubs his back and looks at Drix* Just let me put him to bed then we'll continue to talk. *stands up with Ozzy leaning on his shoulders*
Drix: *nods* Alright... um... I brought this from home... I thought he might be missing it... *opens his chest compartment and pulls out a teddy bear*
Thrax: *holds back his laughter* Should have guessed. *takes the bear from Drix and carries Ozzy into the bedroom*
Ozzy: *blushes a little but reaches for the beloved toy, he's had it since he was small and has never stopped sleeping with it*
Thrax: *lays Ozzy on the bed, handing him his bear and pulls the covers up round him* I won't be long okay sweetie. *kisses his forehead and walks out of the room*
Ozzy: *nods and cuddles down into the bed*
Drix: *waits for Thrax to come back*
Thrax: *sits back down at the table* Sorry 'bout that, Drix. *finishes off his own dinner* but Ozzy is my first concern.
Drix: I understand completely. No need to apologize. *looks toward the door to the bedroom then back at Thrax* He's really taken to you hasn't he?
Thrax: *nods* As have I. *gathers up the dishes and set them in the sink*
Drix: that much is more than obvious. He seems to be recovering well. That's a relief.
Thrax: *nods but sighs sadly* -Pretty soon he won't need me anymore.- *cleans up the dishes and put them away*
Drix: Something wrong?
Thrax: *shakes his head* Nothing's wrong.
Drix: You seem sad.
Thrax: Just thinkin' that's all.
Drix: About?
Thrax: *shoots him a glare* None of your concern.
Drix: *folds his arms, unphazed*
Thrax: *looks a way from to the bedroom door* It's my fear to bare.
Drix: I think he's needed this a long time. I don't think he realises that I used to hear him cry at night...
Thrax: *cocks a brow at him*
Drix: When he and I became roommates I would occasionally get up in the middle of the night to answer the call of nature or get a drink and I'd pass his room and hear him crying inside... If I opened the door he'd always go still and he'd never answer if I called for him...either that or pretend he had no idea what I was talking about...
Thrax: Never really opened up did he? *leans against the bed room door*
Drix: *shakes his head*
Thrax: *looks at the bed room door* I suppose he had his reasons. *sighs softly*
Drix: Shame I think... He was used to hiding everything... He wasn't really allowed to be a kid I think when he was one... He was showing me some photo albums one day and kind of blew off the questions I asked about his parents...
Thrax: *doesn't look towards Drix* I feel the same way when it comes to my own family. *wraps his arms round his own waist*
Drix: *places a hand on his shoulder, gently squeezes it*
Thrax: *looks to him before wiping away tears that were starting to build* Sorry 'bout that. Memories ya know.
Drix: *nods a little* It's nothing to be ashamed of Thrax. *pats his back gently*
Thrax: *smiles at him* Thanks. *places his ear to the bed room door*
*there seems to be no signs of distress at the moment*
Thrax: *sighs with relief* Good.
Drix: He's alright?
Thrax: *nods* Yeah. -For the moment anyway.-
Drix: Perhaps I should bring some of his things over. Clothes and what not.
Thrax: Of course, thanks Drix.
Drix: *nods* Dinner was delightful by the way. *smiles*
Thrax: *smirks* I'm surprised it was decent. I haven't cooked for anyone in a long time.
Drix: *chuckles* It was fine. I enjoyed it. *smiles*
Thrax: *smiles towards him* Thanks and you're welcome.
Drix: *smiles back at him and offers a hug to the virus*
Thrax: *blushes but accepts*
Drix: *huggles him*
Thrax: *gently pushes him off, backing away* Please Drix. . .
Drix: Sorry. ^_^'' But anyway It's good to have you as a friend.
Thrax: *nods* And it 's good to know I can trust you as a secret keeper for me and Ozzy.
Drix: *nods* I promise you Thrax I won't tell anyone you're here.
Thrax: *looks back to the bed room door* Thank you for all your help, we both appreciate it.
Drix: *smiles* Thank you for taking such good care of him.
Thrax: *smiles* I do what I can.
Drix: *nods*
Thrax: *eyes glaze over as he thinks of his dream*
Drix: Thrax?
Thrax: *snaps out of his trance* Sorry. *blushes* Spaced out there.
Drix: Are you ok?
Thrax: *nods* Yeah, just remembering.
Drix: Your family?
Thrax: *nods* Yeah. *sighs turning back to the door*
Ozzy:* starts to whimper quietly in his sleep*
Thrax: *hearing the whimpering dashes into the bed room* -Knew this would happen.- *kneels beside the bed*
Drix: *allows Thrax to tend to the cell*
Ozzy: *is clutching his bear a little tighter and sniffling softly in his sleep*
Thrax: *sitting down on the bed gently lifts Ozzy into his arms holds him close to his chest* Hush-ssshhh-sssshhhh, it's okay now Ozzy. It's okay. * rubs the cell's back, trying to sooth him.*
Ozzy: *continues to sniff for a few minutes before cuddling closer in his sleep and resting peacefully once more*
Thrax: *sighs with relief smiling* Rest my angel. *kisses Ozzy on the forehead*
Ozzy: *pops his thumb into his mouth and sleeps on*
Thrax: *smiles before looking up at Drix*
Drix: *smiling*
Thrax: *sets Ozzy back into bed, pulling the covers up round his face, stroking his hair*
Drix: you're a good daddy Thrax...
Thrax: *blushes* My old parental instincts never went away. I guess they were just hidden. *smiles down at Ozzy*
Drix: *smiles* It seems so.
Thrax: At least now I'm able to use them again. *gazes at Ozzy with fatherly pride*
Drix: indeed... *chuckles* I guess now when he does something foolish on the job there's someone at home to set him straight.
Thrax: *sniggers* Guess you're right there.
Ozzy: *cuddles in his sleep*
Thrax: *smiles softly* I'll be firm with him but not abusive.
Drix: *smiles* That's just what he needs... and don't worry I honestly don't see you abusing him.
Thrax: *sighs* He told me of what his mother use to do to him, of how she mistreated and hurt him. It broke my heart to find out that such a she-demon considered herself his mother. *strokes Ozzy cheek with his finger* That is why I gonna make up for what he missed in his life.
Drix: *softly* He told me he never was able to please her... I think part of the reason he won't cry if he can help it is because he wasn't allowed to when he was a kid... y'know.. the whole 'boys don't cry' thing...
Ozzy: *nuzzles Thrax's hand in his sleep, breathing softly *
Thrax: Male, Female. Doesn't matter, we need to be able to show our emotions when need be. If not we are nothing more than living shells.
Drix: *nods* Indeed. *softly* I'm glad you're not evil like I thought.
Thrax: Losing my family pushed me over the edge Drix, that's why I did all those misdeeds.
Drix: Pain can drive us to extremes.
Thrax: *nods* Pain and sorrow. *looks at Ozzy* but that pain is gone and the sorrow has been replaced with love.
Drix: *smiles softly*
Ozzy: *sucks his thumb in his sleep*
Drix: *chuckles* It's so cute when he does that...
Thrax: *smiles softy* He is, isn't he? *kisses Ozzy's forehead*
Drix: *smiles*
Ozzy: *cuddles in his sleep*
Thrax: *turns to Drix* Thank you Drix, for everything.
Drix: It's nothing. What are friends for?
Thrax: *nods shedding a tear or two*
Drix: aww... Thrax... *places a hand on his back and rubs lightly*
Thrax: *wipes his eyes* Sorry 'bout that been gettin' really emotional lately.
Drix: You're entitled.
Thrax: *nods* Mmm-hmm.
Drix: *puts an arm around his shoulder and gives him kind of a half hug*
Thrax: *places his hand on Drix's arm, smiling as he looks down at Ozzy*
Ozzy: *starts to stir, cuddling into Thrax's chest as he begins to wake*
Thrax: *strokes his face, smiling* Hey there baby. *coos*
Ozzy: *rubs his eyes sleepily* Hey daddy... *yawns really big*
Thrax: *gently rubs Ozzy stomach* Looks like someone's still tired. *lifts Ozzy to his shoulder, rubbing his back*
Ozzy: *yawns hugging him back*
Drix: *smiles* Would you like me to take my leave?
Thrax: *looks towards Drix* Not be rude or anything Drix . . .
Drix: It's no problem.
Thrax: *nods* Alright, guess we'll see ya around then.
Drix: Goodnight Thrax.
Thrax: *smiles to him* Goodnight.
Ozzy: *yawns* Nite drips.
Drix: *chuckles* It's Drix...
Ozzy: *grins cheekily* Whatever. *chuckles* Goodnight.
Drix: *lays a hand on his back* Goodnight.
Thrax: *can't help but chuckle at the two*
Drix: *'bonks' fists with Ozzy and heads out*
