Daddy Thrax-An OJ RP (Chp6)

Ozzy: *wakes after a decent nap and sits up, wincing as he rubs his bottom*

Thrax: *looks up from his book, smiling* Have a nice nap, sweetie?

Ozzy: Hm? *nods tiredly* Mmm hmmm.

Thrax: *checks Ozzy's diaper* Still dry. Good boy. *patting his diaper as he lifts him up and kisses him*

Ozzy: *smiles softly and wraps his arms around him*

Thrax: *gently bounces Ozzy in his arms* -My child, my life, my love, my hope- *continues to bounce Ozzy*

Ozzy: *cuddles* Thanks...

Thrax: *smiles* For what? *he already knew the answer*

Ozzy: *softly* for taking care of me... I mean... Drix is awesome and he helps and everything but... He's not like a father…

Thrax: *nods* He's more like a friend right?

Ozzy: *nods* Yeah.

Thrax: *smiles at him* You hardly experienced the love of a parent and I haven't care for a child in years. *begins to rock Ozzy again* A gap was left where those feelings once were and this way they are fulfilled.

Ozzy: *nods a little and hugs him*

Thrax: *hugs him close* Our love. This love can never be taken away and no matters what anyone says our bond shall last, even when you leave for you old life I hope you'll remember this feeling.

Ozzy *softly* Hey... Thrax? *clings to his shirt a little*

Thrax: Hmm? *looks down to him*

Ozzy: I want you to be my father... forever...

Thrax: *taken back by surprise* You mean that baby? *tears start to weld in his eyes*

Ozzy: Psh... Duh… *hugs him tightly*

Thrax: *the tears flowed freely* Of course I will baby *sniff* I'll be with you forever. *hugs Ozzy close to his chest*

Ozzy: aw... Thrax... Dad.. c'mon don't cry. *hugs him* Please daddy don't cry...

Thrax: *wipes his tears away* Sorry, baby. It just that it's been so long and I don't wish to go though heartache knowing you'll leave. From now on all we have is each other. *cradles Ozzy closes letting out a soft purr.*

Ozzy: hey.... are you purring? *smiles softly, tears in his eyes as well*

Thrax: *surprised himself* That's something I haven't done in a long time. I thought I'd forgotten it.

Ozzy: *smiles softly* It's nice.... I like it...

Thrax: *rocks Ozzy in his arms* You'll be hearing it from now on baby. It'll let you know that I'm here with you.

Ozzy: *smiles and hugs him tightly, tight enough to have hurt probably if Thrax were a cell*

Thrax: *purrs, nuzzling Ozzy*

Ozzy: *nuzzles back a little and kisses him on the cheek*

Thrax: *smiles at him before looking out the window* We still have time before I have to make dinner. *turns to Ozzy* How bout a stroll round the lower back?

Ozzy: Sure... hey why don't we order take out? I know some great places. That way you don't have to cook.

Thrax: *nods* Sounds okay but you'll have to eat what I order alright. Even after a couple of days your stomach is still having problems with solid foods.

Ozzy: *nods a bit* They ought to have something I can have...

Thrax: *smiles grabbing Ozzy's jacket* Well then let's go. *they headed out the door*

Ozzy: got a preference?

Thrax: *shrugs carrying Ozzy* Anything fine as long as it's properly cooked.

Ozzy: *nods*

Thrax: *whispers as they pass a crowd* Recommend anywhere.

Ozzy: Yeah. *gestures toward an Italian style place* They're really good. friendly too… It's a family owned place... real mom pop joint.

Thrax: *laughs lightly* Sounds nice. *walks over to the restaurant*

Ozzy: *gives Thrax a look as he gets cooed at*

Thrax: *bounces him in his arms* No need to worry baby it'll be alright.

Ozzy: Um... w hen does that stuff wear off?

Thrax: *shakes head* It doesn't. One squirt last a lifetime and one squirt with the other reverses it. Besides if it wore off people would start asking questions. *looks at Ozzy tickles his tummy and coos* And we don't want that now do we?

Ozzy: Well no... But I don't think I want everyone seeing me as a baby forever either... I mean I do have a job and stuff y'know.

Thrax: *shifts Ozzy to the other hip* Sweetie we past a few news agents on the way over here and I didn't see even one mention of your absence. Besides the city has a few deserted areas where can live, every few years. *looks at him* Now how about some food?

Ozzy: Well no... I’m just one cop but... still I've got a job and... there's Drix... He'll worry.

Thrax: *shakes head* When we've been out I've seen no sign of that pill looking about and even if he did what would you say if he saw us like this?

Ozzy: I don't know but... Still... I've got to go back to work sometime... It doesn't mean I'm leaving you.

Thrax: *sighs* I know baby it's just- *stops a pale look on his face*

Ozzy: Just..?

Thrax: *shallows a lump in his throat* Sweetie I think we should get back to house. *clutching Ozzy close, backing off slowly*

Ozzy: What's wrong?

Thrax: *breathes heavily* It okay sweetie just keep calm. *turns and brakes into a run*

Ozzy: *confused* What's wrong?

Thrax: *looks back* Him. *clutches Ozzy close trying to dodge the crowd*

Ozzy: what... him who?

Thrax: Don't look just keep your head down. *catches a glimpse of their pursuer*

Ozzy: who is it?

Thrax: *doesn't seem to be listening* I just can't let him take you. *tightens his grip* I can't.

Ozzy: Let who take me... What are you talking about? You're scaring me…

Thrax: *looks at Ozzy with teary eyes* I sorry baby but if they get you, they'll destroy me. *sees the house* We're almost there.

Ozzy: *frowns concerned*

*and just as he says that the red and yellow pill floats between them and the house, eyes narrowed*

Thrax: *skids to a halt* No. *tries to double back*

Ozzy: Drix.

Drix: *holds up his cannon arm* Stop right there Thrax... don't you dare make one move...

Thrax: *still clutching Ozzy close. fear showing in his eyes*

Drix: What did you do to him? *noting the cell's obviously weakened, injured state automatically assuming Thrax has done this as Thrax, to his eyes, has been a recent dangerous enemy*

Ozzy: Drix... no it's... its ok...

Drix: Ok!? How is this ok Ozzy?

Ozzy: Drix, I know you've been worried... Look Thrax didn't to this ok... *tells about the other night when he was beaten, the germs he encountered*

Drix: *listens, slowly starting to lower his weapon but he does not take his heated gaze off Thrax.

Thrax: *growls at Drix refusing to let Ozzy go*

Ozzy: Believe it or not Thrax... he's been taking care of me… please just... chill ok?

Drix: *looks at Ozzy then at the virus protectively clutching the cell to him*

Thrax: *growls became more fierce but with Ozzy there he didn't flare his finger up*

Drix begins to float closer to the virus*

Thrax: * jumps back snarling* Leave us. *supported Ozzy head on his shoulder*

Drix: I think not... Ozzy... are you ok?

Ozzy: Yeah I’m fine man… It's alright ok? He's a good guy.

Thrax: *glares at Drix* If I hadn't saved him would have been dead. *kisses Ozzy on the cheek*

Drix: * carefully studies the scene in front of him, part of his collage education was studying the behaviour of viruses and it appears that Thrax IS behaving as a parent virus would with an offspring* Hmmm...

Ozzy: *tiredly rests his head on Thrax's shoulder*

Thrax: *shoots a warning glare at Drix before turning to Ozzy and began humming a lullaby with a loving smile*

Drix: Let me approach Thrax...

Thrax: *backs off not wanting to disturb Ozzy, sending the pill a cold glare*

Drix: *maintains eye contact with the virus as he continues to come closer* I'm not going to take him…

Thrax: *hisses* No. *clutching Ozzy in his arms*

Drix: *ignores him and puts a hand on Ozzy's shoulder, essentially checking the cell out*

Thrax: *scratches his hand hard* Don't touch him.

Drix: *ignores the wounds and his voice becomes firm* Thrax....

Ozzy: Guys please.. I'm tired ok... just... stop...

Thrax: *double kicked the pill and took off in the direction of the house, cradling Ozzy close* I'm not going to let this happen again.

Drix: *recovers quickly and moves after them, putting his arm in the door to prevent it from shutting* Thrax… I told you already I'm not going to take him.

Thrax: *hisses* You're just like the others. *swipes his claws at Drix*

Drix: *catches his hand* I know paternal behaviour when I see it Thrax... Calm down.

Thrax: *struggle to free his arm* Leave us alone. Let us live in peace. *looks down at Ozzy tears starting to form* Let us be.

Drix: Ozzy... are you forced to be here? Are you here against your will?

Ozzy: No and no...

Drix: that's all I needed to know… *releases Thrax, surprised to see the tears on the virus' face* Thrax. look at me.

Thrax: *looks at the pill* What!

Drix: I won't take him against his will Thrax… If he wants to be here then so be it... I won’t' interfere...

Thrax: *clutches Ozzy closes tears flowing full* He has filled a void in my heart that was created long ago; I just couldn't bare that pain again.

Ozzy: *wraps an arm back around Thrax*

Drix: He seems taken with you too...

Thrax: Like me he has suffered pain that only I can heal. *kisses Ozzy forehead, gently rocking him*

Drix: he's been alone a long time as far as I know.

Thrax: Longer than you can imagine. *strokes Ozzy's hair lightly*

Ozzy: *responds to the touch by nuzzling Thrax's claws*

Thrax: *smiles at him before letting out a soft purr, nuzzling him gently*

Ozzy: *nuzzles Thrax lightly*Daddy... *voice murmured softly as he cuddles*

Drix: did he just call you...?

Thrax: Yes he did and don't you dare breathe a word about this to anyone. *his claw flares for a second before dieing down*

Drix: If I did Thrax there would be trouble for the three of us.

Thrax: *cocks a brow* So you're gonna keep quite about this?

Drix: *nods*

Thrax: Good. *turns to Ozzy still sleeping* Because if you separate us not only would you have a deadly angry virus to deal with but also a heart broken cell as well.

Drix: Ozzy is my best friend Thrax...

Thrax *snorts and rolls his eyes*

Drix: Seriously... He is.

Thrax: His behaviour may be childish but did you know the reason he acted in such a way?

Drix: I know he had little relationship with his mother...

Thrax: Who treated him as nothing when his good-for-nothing father left them years before. *cradles Ozzy to his chest* A mother's rejection and a father's abandonment. All he needed was the love of a parent.

Drix: *lays a hand on the sleeping cell's head* when did he go to sleep?

Thrax: Few minutes ago. *not daring to take his eyes off the pill*

Ozzy: *shifts a little in his sleep and pops his thumb in his mouth*

Drix: *chuckles* It's so cute when he does that...

Thrax: He is isn't he? *purrs*

Ozzy: *continues to cuddle in his sleep*

Thrax: Listen Drix, it won't be right if you take him. Not like this. *gently rocks Ozzy*

Drix: I told you... I'm not going to take him... He wants to be here with you.

Thrax: And I with him. I give him the love of a parent and he is the child that I've longed for. *kisses Ozzy's cheek*

Drix: I'll make up something to tell the chief...

Thrax: And that Leah girl?

Drix: *nods as well and sighs, sitting in a chair nearby* Please tell me you'll paddle his backside if he starts getting wild on patrol? Goodness knows he needs one from time to time... *shaking his head* He's nearly given me a heart attack at times…

Thrax: *chuckles* I'll do that but I prefer using my hand for it. *carries Ozzy in to the bed room, setting him on the bed* Besides he calms down when he's with me. *pulls the covers over Ozzy*

Drix: good to hear... I'm afraid to do it myself... For one I’m afraid of really hurting him... for another I don't think I have it in me...

Ozzy: *still sucking his thumb snuggles down in his sleep, twitching slightly but sleeping otherwise peacefully*

Thrax: *looks at Drix* I have had practice believe me and *turns to Ozzy* he is worth the trouble. *sits down on the bed*

Drix: *looks at the size of his own hand compared to Ozzy's bottom and shakes his head* I think I might spank him too hard or something... You I wouldn't worry about harming but him... Cells are... more fragile...

Thrax: *nods* I was afraid of infecting him when I spanked him but he learns his lesson and I do all I can to make sure he's alright. *pats Ozzy's butt though the covers*

Drix: He lived alone before I moved in with him... That's not really good for a cell... Even if they live alone they're highly social creatures... They aren't meant to be loners.

Thrax: *smiles down at Ozzy* Well, he isn't alone anymore.

Drix: *nods and lightly stroke's the sleeping cell's hair*

Thrax: *looks towards Drix* Remember one word, one slip up and I'll turn you into scrap *eyes begin to glow*

Drix: It would do no good to turn you in... anyway... You're officially dead...

Thrax: *eyes revert to normal* My only advantage at the minute. *turns back to Ozzy* But I would reveal myself if it meant protecting my baby.

Drix: *nods* I should look into it... but I think legally... you have a clean slate

Thrax: *without looking at him* How? With the deeds I've done.

Drix: Well you were never taken in and there was a death warrant out for you... You would have been executed had you been caught, taken straight to the spleen, once you were reported dead your sentence was considered carried out. Like I said I'd have to look into it.

Thrax: Thanks. *looks at Ozzy continuing to sleep* Best if they don't know.

Drix: *nods*

Ozzy: *starts to stir, whimpering softly*

Thrax: *kneels next to Ozzy stroking his face* Hush now Ozzy, daddy's here. Daddy's here.

Ozzy: *sniffles softly, shifting in his sleep*

Drix: *looks worried*

Thrax: *notices* He's having another nightmare. *lifts Ozzy up, the blanket wrapped round him* Memories he doesn't want to remember. *gently rocks Ozzy, rubbing his back*

Drix: He has them a lot...

Ozzy: *nuzzles into Thrax's chest in his sleep, starting to calm as soon as he's in the virus' arms*

Thrax: *nods as he continues to rock Ozzy* I've heard him cry out in his sleep and the tears of pain streaming down his face. *gently shakes head* Something I can't watch as he suffers because of them. *begins to hum softly*

Ozzy: *once more pops his thumb into his mouth, muttering 'daddy' softly under his breath as he calms*

Drix:* smiles softly* Perhaps he's starting to get used to sleeping peacefully...

Thrax: *nods* It should help him a little. *sits down on the bed still rocking Ozzy* He needs it.

Drix: That he does. Admittedly I have a few concerns considering that Viruses and white blood cells are generally born enemies but you two seem to be getting along swimmingly.

Thrax: *shrugs* Guess we're the exceptions of our species. *begins to sing softly*

Drix: I suppose so... I should let you two be.

Thrax: *nods* See ya around Drix. *continues to sing*

Drix: Goodnight Thrax.

Thrax: Goodnight.

Drix: *heads out*

Ozzy: *cuddles in his sleep, resting comfortably*

Thrax: *softly speaks* Guess we should turn in for the night ourselves. *undresses Ozzy out of his clothes and slips on a mid-night blue sleeper* Hope he likes this. *lays Ozzy on the bed and takes off his shoes and turtleneck before sliding in beside him* Sweet dreams, baby. *kisses his forehead*
