I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 48

*the duo slept all the way till nxt morning. Soon they were woken up by a knock on the door*

Ozzy groaned softly, rubbing his eye and whimpering softly as he slowly opened his eyes. Getting up, he limped over to the door, wincing and groaning before he opened the door.

Cop: Hi, Agent Rosary frm BPD. We'd like to ask u a few questions regarding Sy Regulus

Ozzy blinked sleepily, rubbing his eye and yawing, stretching a little. "Who?" he asked softly, his pajama shirt slipping of his should, looking sleepily cute.

Thrax: *heard the talking n got up slowly, approaching them* Wht's going on, baby, who is it?

Rosary: I'm Agent Rosary of BPD *shows her badge* I'd like to ask a few questions on Sy Regulus

Thrax: *realized n put on his usual gentleman mode* Oh dear, is he alright?

Ozzy blinked a few times, looking up at Thrax. "Who's Sy?" he asked softly, yawning again, grumbling a little, not liking to be woken up early.

Thrax: Its tht nice young man I told u abt, baby, tht I met at the restaurant dwnstairs. Is he alright, officer?

Rosary: He was found by the maids in his bed, OD on sleeping pills. He's dead, sir

Thrax: Oh my, suicide? Tht's terrible

Ozzy blinked in surprise, looking shocked. He though the virus killed him? Must of been a show. "Yeah... that's really awful..."

Rosary: The maitre'd said u were the last to see him. Did he seem odd to u?

Thrax: Well, not in particular. I saw tht he was looking a little sad n tired, so I decided to chat him up to cheer him up. He was saying abt being tired n working so hard n feeling underappreciated n all, bt...oh my, is tht why he committed suicide?

Rosary: Tht is probably the cause. They said u left the restaurant with him?

Thrax: Yes, he was getting a little tipsy frm champagne, so I accompanied him bk to the room. He wanted to...well, get it on with me, bt I refused, telling him tht I'm already dating n he sorta kicked me out. I was here the rest of the night, aint I, baby?

Ozzy yawned and nodded slowly, rubbing his eye again. "Mhm... he was... he was worried about the cell, but he told me he couldn't stay since he was trying to get him into bed..."

Rosary: I see. Well, thanks for ur info. We'll keep in touch then

Thrax: Anything we can do to help, officer *sends the officer away before closing n locking the door* Phew. Tht was a close call.

Ozzy groaned and rubbed his head lightly. "I hate lying to the cops..."

Thrax: Well, ur gonna hv to get used to it, baby. It's our lifestyle frm now on. C'mon, bk to bed with ya *carried Oz the usual midair style n lay him on bed, tucking him in*

Ozzy gasped and grumbled as he was carried off to bed. "But I'm awake now... I can't go back to sleep..."

Thrax: Then wht would u like to do, baby?

Ozzy shrugged, sitting up. "I don't know... maybe... get out of here?"

Thrax: We hv to lay low for a while, just until the investigation of this Sy guy is ovr. U dont wanna raise too much suspicion now, do u? Wht say we hit the town for a while, eh, baby?

Ozzy grumbled and pouted, shuffling around. He wasn't to leave Bob, he smelled awful in here. "And do what?"

Thrax: *shrugged* Dunno. Sight-seeing, maybe? Get something before we leave. Anything to keep u frm getting cabin fever

Ozzy flopped back on the bed and sighed, pouting a little. "I guess so... but I don't have any clothes..."

Thrax: Just wear whtever u hv with u right now wen we came here, baby, n we'll get some new clothes later on *nuzzled him before freshening up n got dressed*

Ozzy blinked slowly, grumbling a little before getting off, limping to the bathroom to find his clothes.

Thrax: *was finishing freshen up* U OK? Can u walk now?

"It hurts to... but I can a little..." Ozzy said as he rubbed his backside, grabbing his clothes and began to slowly pull them on, wincing a little.

Thrax: *grins n came near him* Would you like me to give u a piggy back ride ard town?

Ozzy blinked a few times. "Huh? But woudn't that draw too much attention?"

Thrax: *shrugs* This is a crappy city as it is. They hv the fog to worry abt, who cares abt someone being given a piggyback ride?

Ozzy blinked and rubbed the back of his neck before shrugging. "Uh... I guess so... plus, I can't really be bothered walking. Instead of getting adult diapers, you should get me an adult push chair."

Thrax: *grins* A real wheelchair or a baby pram?

Ozzy huffed. "Perferably a wheel chair... at this rate I'll end up being your baby for real..."

Thrax: *chuckles* I think there might be some wheelchairs I noticed at the special rooms section of this hotel. Want me to get tht for ya, baby?

Ozzy nodded slowly and pouted a little. "... And a comfy pillow that I can sit on..." he said, his cheeks tinting up as he pulled his t-shirt on.

Thrax: *chuckles n nuzzled him* Anything for my baby. C'mon, Ness. Let's go get Mommy a wheelchair, aye?

Sitting down on the bed, Ozzy watched Ness yap happily and jump off the bed, running after his Daddy, running around his legs and pawing at him.

Thrax: *picked Nessie up, hiding him in his jacket before he went all the way to the receptionist to request for a wheelchair*

Ozzy finished getting dressed, slipping his shoes on. Pulling out his bandana, he tied it around his neck, breathing in the scent. "I missed you..." he mumbled softly.

Thrax: *soon came bk with the wheelchair tht came with a cushion, n also a roll of bandages*

Ozzy blinked and looked up when Thrax came, smiling a little. "Hey... uh... what's the bandages for?"

Thrax: I told the receptionist tht I need the wheelchair coz u sprained ur ankle just now. U dont wanna risk letting tht Rosary who saw u walking suddenly sporting a wheelchair for no reason now, do ya? So I got some bandages to wrap ur "sprained ankle" *grins*

Ozzy blinked a few times before nodded slowly. "Okay..." he mumbled before moving to lay back on the bed. "You can wrap it though..."

Thrax: *came to him with the bandages n got onto the bed, taking the pup out of his jacket before undoing the bandage. He picked Oz's foot n kissed the ankle before started wrapping it ard*

Ozzy blinked in surprise and flushed, shifting around. "Ew... dont' kiss my foot..." he mumbled softly, watching a his foot was wrapped up in the bandage.

Thrax: I knw u like it *grins as he finished the bandages, then kissed it again before putting the foot dwn* All good now

Ozzy grumbled and shook his head. "It's gross..." he mumbled before sitting up slowly. "So... now what?"

Thrax: We'll hit the town, of course *carried Oz bridal style to the wheelchair* Let's go, mutt

Ozzy nodded slowly, relaxing back on the chair and sighing softly, blinking in surprise when the yapping puppy jumped onto his lap and sat there.

Thrax: *chuckles n shook his head as he wheeled Oz out of the room n to the carpark lounge where their car was parked aftr he got the keys frm the doorman*

Ozzy blinked and looked around as he was wheeled off, looking a little confused. "Oh, we going in the car?" he asked, petting the excited Nessie.

Thrax: Yeah. Wht? Would u rather we go on foot then?

Ozzy shook his head. "I don't mind either way." the cell said softly, closing his eyes.

Thrax: Well, since the stomach area isnt tht affected by the fog, I guess its OK on foot. I need the exercise anyways

"I think you get enough of that..." Ozzy huffed at the virus beforeflushing, relaxing in the chair. "So, where we going first?"

Thrax: Well, first stop, ur clothes. So we're gonna hv to look for a plc with clothes. *wheeled him out of the hotel n into the streets* Wht happened to the clothes u shopped with ur gal anyways?

Ozzy blinked a few times, pouting. I had a small bag and got themore important things... I just need just one set of clothes, that's all."

Thrax: Oh? N wht might tht be, baby? *looked ard to find a good boutique*

"Huh? What do you mean?" Ozzy asked as he looked around, rubbing his eye some as he looked for a clothing store.

Thrax: Naw, just asking. U said u need a set of clothes. Wht clothes may tht be?

"Ohh... um...I don't know. I know I'll regret this, but I guess you can pick?" Ozzy suggested slowly, holding Nessie close.

Thrax: *grinned* U sure abt tht? I'd hate to end up getting something u dont like *found a suitable boutique shop n went in*

Ozzy blinked a few times, pouting. "Yeah, well this is your chance to get me something nice." he told him as ge was takwen inside, looking around.

Thrax: Oh, I'll get u something nice alright

*the trio spent some time in the boutique, browsing n considering which would be nice for Oz to wear*

Ozzy wheeled himself around, loking at the clothes, wondering what Thrax wound decide on.

Thrax: *finally decided on a set of clothes which was a black jacket with a white T-shirt n black cargo long pants* How's this?

Ozzy blinked a few times. Trying to get me to dress like you?" he said, laughing a little.

Thrax: *chuckles* Not reli. See the shirt? Its white, n not turtleneck. 'Sides, I think black suits u as well

"I'm going to feel more... virus like dressed like this." Ozzy whispered to him, laughing a little.

Thrax: Ur my baby, of course I'd like it if we're alike in certain ways. So u wanna get this? U like it?

"I guess I could try, no harm, right?" Ozzy said as he looked at the clothes. "AndI serously thought it'd be worse than that..."

Thrax: *grins* Now, baby, is it so hard to trust me? *he went to pay for the clothes, bt while the cell wasn't looking, he bought something else extra, hiding it under Oz's new clothes*

Ozzy blinked a few times, huffing and rolling his eyes. "Whatever..." he mumbled andwheeled his way o the door."Done paying yet?"

Thrax: Yeah, almost done *gets the receipt n followed behind Oz, holding the shopping bag while helping Oz to push the chair*

Ozzy blonked an looked up, smiling a little as he was helped. "So... where are we going now?"

Thrax: Feeling peckish? Since we're out, might as well hv something to eat

Ozzy blinked and smiled, nodding slowly. "Food sounds good, what do you want to eat?"

Thrax: Hmm...Dunno. Wht can this city offer anyway?

Ozzy blinked a few times. shrugging a little. "I don't know... but it's probably crap..."

Thrax: Hmm *looks ard* Hows abt tht one? *points at a fast food restaurant up ahead*

"I guess it's our best option..." Ozzy mumbled and yawned, petting Nessie who yapped happily.

Thrax: Fast food it is then *wheels them all to the spot*

Ozzy petted the happy pup as he rested back. "I could get used to this..."

Thrax: Dont count on it, baby. Ur gonna be bk on ur feet once ur ankle "healed" *grins as he led them in the line*

Ozzy pouted a little. "Aw, but I like this... it's relaxing..." he said softly, pouting a little.

Thrax: U'll get fat n ur muscles on ur legs will shrivel n die frm disuse. I'd hate to see tht on my baby

Ozzy pouted a little and shuffled around on the chair. "But it's nice being pushed around by you... makes me feel special."

Thrax: Oh, I can think of much better ways to "push u ard" *grins, moving up to the counter*

Waiter: Hi, welcome to McBowels, can I take ur order?

Ozzy blinked in surprise, his cheeks pinking. "Like what?" he asked before blinking and turning to the counter. "Uh..." he mumbled, looking over the menus above. Ordering himself a meal, and a kids meal for Nessie, he looked to Thrax. "What are you having?"

Thrax: *rubbed his chin* I think I'll hv... *made his order, which is a jumbo-sized meal, large for every portion*

Ozzy's eyes widened. "Damn, that's alot of food..." he said, rolling his eyes and shaking his head. "You'll get fat."

Thrax: *grins* Hate to burst ur bubble bt I've got high metabolism. U've seen me eat before, right?

Ozzy grumbled and huffed at him. "You suck..." he mumbled resting his chin on his hand as they waited for there food.

Thrax: Of course I do *grins n lowers dwn to whisper at Oz's ear* I suck u, remember?

Ozzy's whole fast turned red as he knocked him away, pouting. "Oh, stop that... we're in public damn it!" he snapped, shuffling around, getting a flashback to the time in the diners bathroom where he found Thrax and the young germ.

Thrax: *chuckled as their order arrived n paid for the bill* Ur gonna hv to wheel urself, baby. If I put the food on ur lap n push u, the mutt will gobble up everything *takes the tray*

Ozzy snapped out of it. "Huh?" he mumbled before nodding slowly, flushing still as he wheeled himself to a near by table.

Thrax: *followed the cell's lead n set the food dwn on the table, then took the kids meal n plced it on the floor for the pup to eat*

Nessie yapped happily, jumping off the cell's lap before pawing at the food, chomping down on it, even eating the wrapper.

Ozzy laughed and shook his head, starting to eat his own food.

Thrax: Oi, oi, dont eat the wrapper, mutt. U'll choke on it *rolled his eyes* I swear he's got ur appetite, baby *ate his food*

Ozzy blinked and looked up, sticking his tongue out. "Ah, shut up... he's getting your attitude you know." he grumbled just as Nessie yapped at the virus, seeming to glare before going back to his food.

Thrax: My attitude? Wht does it have to do anything with me? He's more like u, as far as I'm concerned *sipped his coke*

Ozzy huffed and pouted. "He is getting like you... He nuzzles alot, too... and follows after me alot." he said, sipping his drink.

Thrax: Well, isnt tht a good thing? To hv him nuzzling u n following aftr u? I thought u love the mutt to bits

Ozzy shuffled around and flushed. "Oh... shut up..." he mumbled, biting into the burger he had, chew some. "So... what are we going to do after this?"

Thrax: Not sure reli. Wht do u wanna do aftr this? We've gone to the boutique. Any plc in particular u wanna go, n I mean in Bob?

Ozzy blinked and pouted a little. shrugging some. "I don't really know..., I don't really know Bob's body..." he mumbled, rubbing his stomach slightly as he sipped his drink.

Thrax: *tapped his chin* Maybe we should go to the Eye. See wht's going on in the outside world right now

Ozzy blinked a few times before nodding slowly. "Yeah, that's a good idea... maybe you can... find your target..." he said, eating a little more.

Thrax: *finished his burger n ate his fries. It was his habit to finish the main food first* I told u already. I've already hv a target. Tht's why I needed the keys

Ozzy blinked and shuffled around. "Who is it, then? I'm warning you, if it's little Shane I won't forgive you..." he said, frowning at the virus before blinking and looking down at Nessie, covered in tomato sauce, bread crumbs around his mouth and milkshake over himself as he knawed and shook the toy in the bag.

Thrax: *rolled his eyes* C'mon, I only killed tht one little girl in Riverside, California. It was tht one time. 'Sides, Shane is probably a health Nazi anyways. We go in there n we'd probably be toast before we could set foot there *rolled his eyes n picked the pup up to clean him up* Dang, boy, u eat just like ur Mommy

"Hey!! I'm not like him! I'm alot cleaner!" Ozzy whined and huffed at him. watching as Nessie yapped around the plastic bag, growling and shaking around

Thrax: Sure u are *takes the plastic bag n opened it, taking out the toy* If ur gonna play with the toy, play it right, mutt *gave the toy to the pup* N dont eat it

Ozzy stuck his tongue out at him, kicking him with his good foot under the table as Nessie's tail wagged, yapping at the man and slobbering on him before taking the two, holding the toy on the virus' shoulder with his paws as he knawed on it.

Thrax: *shook his head, barely feeling the kick as he finished the last of his fries* U ready to go?

Ozzy hadn't finished all his food, but he couldn't, he was too full. Taking a few more sips of his drink, he set it down and nodded. "Yeah, I'm done..."

Thrax: Waste not, want not, baby *takes whtever Oz couldn't finish n ate them*

Ozzy blinked a few times before rolling his eyes, "You sure eat alot..."

Thrax: Nothing wrong with having a healthy appetite now, innit? *finished the food and wiped his hands* Let's go, baby

Ozzy rolled his eyes at him vefore wheeling himself from the table, Nessie still cuddled to Thrax, chewing on the toy he got, not sure what else to do with it.

Thrax: *held onto the pup as he helped Oz to wheel out of the restaurant* Well, the eye is gonna be a long way, so we better go get the car then

Ozzy nodded slowly and stretched. "Yeah, wouldn't want to tire you out now, would we..." he mumbled, sitting bak.

Thrax: *raised a brow, then flicked the bk of the cell's head before putting the pup on Oz's lap and pushing him towards the direction of the hotel*

"Argh!" Ozzy let out a he rubbed the back of his head, glaring up at the virus as he held Ness close.

Thrax: Heh *reached the carpark n to their car* Here's our ride *opened the door*

Ozzy nodded slowly before shuffling around, managing to lift himsel up. "Can you put the cusion down first?"

Thrax: Sure, of course, baby *does so before putting the cell inside*

Ozzy flushed as he was put inside, yawning softly. He could really get used to this treatment, being pampered over, made him feel special since he knew he was the only one he'd do it for.

Thrax: *kissed him deeply before going ovr to the driver's seat n took the wheel, starting the car n drove ovr to their destination*

Ozzy blinked and looked around around, Nessie and himself watching the world of Bob go by.

Thrax: *went dwn the traffic n winded up te window once the fog sets in* Ugh, Bob should reli cut dwn the cigars

Ozzy wrinkled his nose and nodded in agreement, shuffling around in his chair as Nessie leaned up on the dashboard, looking through the window.

Thrax: Enjoying the view, aint ya, mutt? *take a turn to the highway tht led to their destination* Careful dont end up flying outside the dashboard wen I brake

Ozzy laughed a little before he reached forward, wrapping his arms around the pup's middle. "Don't worry, I have him." he said, the pup murring as Ozzy scritched his belly.

Thrax: *glanced at them* Hmm, the mutt seemed to like being given belly rubs, huh? Kinda reminds me of someone who enjoys to get rubbed "somewhere", dont u think? *grins*

Ozzy blinked and flushed, glaring over at the virus. "Don't be disgusting, pervert! Or I'll have Nessie hump on you!"

Thrax: Reli now? *grins* Aint ya gonna be jealous tht ur beautiful innocent pup would be screwing me?

Ozzy blinked in surprise as the thought of Thrax and his innocent pup going at it and flushed darkly, looking away from him. "... Just shut up!"

Thrax: *laughs as he swerved to a curve*
