I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 52

*the duo slept all the way till morning, n it was the minor bustle of the street tht woke Thrax up*

Ozzy was laid on his back, spread out, snoring his head off, an arm and a leg flopped against Thrax and the sheet pooled around his waist, the pup snuggled beside him looking just like his Mommy.

Thrax: *stirred a little as he slowly sat up, then saw the way Oz slept n chuckled, shaking his head in defeat before covering him with a cleaner sheet, setting him n Ness in the right sleeping position before heading out to get some grub*

Nessie was the first to wake, his nose twitching before he rolled over and yawned, stretching out before scratching his ear. Looking around, he began to whimper. Where was his Daddy? "Mmm... shhh Nessie... it's too early..." Ozzy mumbled as he curled around the pup, holding him close.

Thrax: *snuck out of the warehouse n searched ard to search for some plc to sell grub n spotted a bread shop, then snuck to the backyard to see if there were any leftover bread tht werent sold frm the day before, snuck some out n quickly went bk to the warehouse with them*

Ozzy fell back asleep holding the puppy, Nessie still sat up, his tail wagging a little everytime he heard something before his ears lowered when his Daddy didn't come back. Though, when the virus did turn up, he yapped happily, bounding forward and jumping up at the virus, yapping as he panted, his tail wagging madly. It was obvious he missed the virus.

Thrax: *grins* Yes, yes, yes, g'mornin' to ya too, mutt. I got us some breakfast *showed him the pile of bread he got* Hungry?

Nessie yapped happily, not really caring about the food, just happy to see his Daddy as he ran around in circles before bounding over to the matress and diving on Ozzy, making him wake with a start. "No Teacher, I wasn't touching myself!" he called out before blinking, rubbing his eye and looking around sleepily.

Thrax: *blinked at Oz's sudden outburst n grinned as he sat beside him, putting dwn the bread* Hey, baby. Wht was tht? A nightmare?

"U-uh... you could say so..." Ozzy mumbled and rubbed the back of his neck before blinking. "Ah... bread?" he mumbled as Nessie pawed at the bread, yapping at it.

Thrax: *offered the bread Nessie pawed at n split the rest with Oz* Reli now? Care to tell me abt it, baby? *munched on one. It was a little bit tough because it had been a day old, bt it's still edible*

Nessie yapped, seeming to say thank you as he curled up, knawing on the bed, his puppy teeth tearing at it as Ozzy slowly ate his own. "Uh... it's not important..." he mumbled, his cheeks heating up as he ate more.

Thrax: *raised his brow in amusement* Reli now? *leans forward a little* This makes me evn more curious *grins* Wht is it?

Ozzy blinked in surprise, looking to the other as he leaned closer, shuffling away before he chewed on his bread slowly. "None of your business!" he huffed, sticking his tongue out at him.

Thrax: *chuckles* A'ight, I aint gonna force u *finished his bread n took another helping* So, aside frm the "nightmare" I'm sure u've had a good sleep?

Ozzy grumbled and wiggled his tongue out at him, taking another bite before blinking, his cheeks flushing over more. "Ah... um... yeah..." he mumbled, finishing off his bread.

Thrax: *took a bite of his bread* Mm, tastes pretty good, bt *leans forward again n whispers near Oz's ear* U were much more delicious

Ozzy tensed swallowed hard, flushing as he coughed, patting his chest as he choked on the bit of bread in hist throat. "J-j-jerk!" he managed to get out, flushing more.

Thrax: *laughs as he patted Oz's bk to help him ease his choking, then noticed the pup looking at them curiously* Not for u to knw, mutt. Its Mommy n Daddy's private talk

Nessie gave a whine at the virus as Ozzy managed to swallow the bit of bread, glaring weakly at Thrax, grumbling as he went back to his food.

Thrax: *finished his bread n took his last one* I bet ur wondering why we're in this city now, aint ya?

Ozzy started on his second bit, sharing with Nessie absently, as he nodded slowly. "Well, it would be nice to know..." he mumbled softly, looking up at him.

Thrax: Well, while I was still in Frank, aside frm working alongside with the immunity cells, I have been observing the outside world as well thru Frank's POV. Its the main way of how I found this target

Ozzy blinked a few times, frowning a little as he nodded slowly, chewing on the bread as he listened to his story. "So what made you choose this guy?"

Thrax: U said u dont like me killing cities, bt I cant deny wht my nature dictates me to be. So I decided to compromise n kill only those who deserves death. I then did a little detecting on my own. Apparently Bob is not entirely the model citizen n wise-cracking bro Frank think he is

Ozzy blinked a few times, looking confused as he sat up more, absently chewing on his bread. "What do you mean?" he asked softly, shifting around before giving the last of his bread to Nessie who's stomach had started to bloat a little.

Thrax: *shook his head n took it before Nessie could eat* U trying to make the mutt into a stuffed turkey or something? *ate the last piece* Well, as I was saying, it turns out tht working in the zoo is just a side income for Bob. His real money-maker is to make trades with inmates n wardens. He supplies them with things n he earns big bucks frm either the inmates who got the money frm their families, or directly frm the families themselves, n payouts as well frm the wardens who employ his supplies services. Anything. Booze, smokes, anything usually prohibited in prison, u name it, Bob's got it

"He likes the food!" Ozzy said as Nessie whined at his bread being taken before he climbed into Ozzy's lap and curled up. Listening to the other, his eyes widened as he petted the puppy. "Oh my Frank... seriously? I never thought Bob was like that..." he mumbled, looking very shocked.

Thrax: U'd be surprised wht humans r capable of doing. Neways, sometimes, I hop onto Frank's Auditorial Receptor Records to find out more abt Bob--u nvr knw sometimes Frank might hear things bt forget abt them in his head bt maintains the record in the ear--n found tht recently Bob has been supplying to some of the worse human inmates ard. Bob is always on a lookout for high pays, n the black-listed inmates r the ones tht pay the highest dough most of the time, coz of the risks. And this Sanderson guy here is his regular. U knw wht Sanderson does?

Ozzy frowned some and shook his head. This wasn't right, humans really were strange and can be disgusting. "Huh? I don't know... what does he do?" he asked, gently petting the now sleeping pup in his lap, regretting asking after the words left his lips.

Thrax: Sanderson is ur regular Ted Bundy, baby. Works ard the shopping malls as a bagger n preys on housewives who lacks a bit of their husbands' love, then rapes n kills them. All 35 of them

Ozzy's eyes widened as he stared up at the virus, freezing in his petting. "A-and... and Bob's helping him to get stuff?!" he squeaked, knowing that he regretted asking, but he needed to know.

Thrax: *shrugged* Like I said, Bob's working for the highest bidder. Doesnt care who the other party is, as long as it pays well for him. Not exactly wht u'd expect frm a cigar-chain smoker who works in a zoo, aint it?

Ozzy was still in shock. "W-well now... I... I would of never of expected that from Bob... I wonder how Frank feels about his brother doing such things..." he mumbled, frowning a little.

Thrax: I hv a feeling he would care less neways. He's got...other things to worry abt. Right now, my plan is this: To create a wide spread epidemic within the walls of the prisons among those who deserve death. Starting with this woman-killer

Ozzy bit his lip before he nodded slowly. "Though... wouldn't it make the humans become suspicious if only inmates are suddenly dying? What... what if the catch us?" he asked softly, holding the pup close.

Thrax: The inmates hv nowhere to go bt in n out of prison. The first thing they'll think of is the outside influence before they figure it out. Sides, I'll be working a little faster, n probably doing a little bit tht might invoke ur...jealousy

Ozzy shuffled around where he sat and nodded slowly before blinking in surprise, looking up in shock. "Huh? My... jealousy?" he mumbled, frowning some at him.

Thrax: *gave him a "You knw wht I mean" look, trying to get him to remember wht he did to Sy before he killed him*

Ozzy blinked a few times before the narrowed slightly. "Oh? You don't HAVE to do that..." he mumbled, crossing his arms over his chest as he looked away from the virus, huffing some.

Thrax: I told u u'd be jealous *takes the cell's cheeks in his hands* I dont want this either, bt its the only way to make the epidemic spread faster. Or else, wht do u suggest we do?

Ozzy grumbled some, glaring up at the virus. "Yeah... faster... you just want to capture a new cell, don't you? Not like I care though... I have Nessie!" he grumbled before blinking as he stared up at the cell, frowning some. "How should I know?" he mumbled, looking awy again, a pout on his lips.

Thrax: *chuckles, couldnt help feeling Oz looking cute being jealous like tht* C'mere, baby *cuddled him close n kiss tht pout, guiding the cell's lips in a gentle, loving non-sensual kiss*

Ozzy blinked in surprise when he was suddenly kissed, his cheeks heating up before he frownded and bit down hard on the other's lower lip. Pulling away, he huffed at him. "You're not getting out of it that easily... you start.... doing stuff with other cells, you won't touch me again..." he huffed at him, turning his head away, not wanting to be more... 'infected'.

Thrax: *barely felt tht bite as he pulled away, grinned as he nursed the bite* Heh, ur just so cute wen ur jealous there, baby

"I am not jealous! Why would I be jealous of YOU!?" Ozzy huffed at him, glaring up at the virus. "I can get anyone I want just as easily you know! You're not the only one that can charm there way through!" he huffed, petting the puppy.

Thrax: Judging by the way u managed to get those salive patrol cops so smitten on u n having every man jump on u n get under ur pants everytime I leave u alone, I'd say I believe u more or less *chuckles* By the way, I was just kidding

Ozzy rolled his eyes and looked away, grumbling to himself. "Nice to know you have faith in me..." he mumbled, rubbing the pup's belly when he rolled over. "Hmph, you go do what you want, I don't care... just don't try to get in my pants again." he said before glancing down. "Uh... well... skirt..." he mumbled with a flush.

Thrax: Still wearing tht girl's clothes? I see ur being rather attached with ur schoolgirl getup *grins* Dont wanna wear the other new set of clothes I bought for u then? The one we bought at Bob's?

"W-wha? No! I hate them! I just haven't had time to... change..." Ozzy grumbled and glared at him before he gently moved Ness off his lap and crawled over to his bag, not realising that he was flashing once again as he rumaged his back pack, pulling out his boxers and new clothes.

Thrax: *sees Oz flashing n ran his hand along tht area* I see, this must be wht u let tht saliva patrol cop saw just now, eh?

Ozzy gasped as he felt a hand on his backside, closing his legs tightly as he looked back with a slight flush. "I-I didn't do it on purpose, I didn't want some pervs, and paedophilic cels, staring at my backside!"

Thrax: *laughs at the cell's reaction* Now tht was just reli cute. Btw, u do realize wht I just said right? Tht I was kidding abt doing things tht'll make u jealous?

"Wha... I'm not cute!" Ozzy huffed at him, grumbling before he sat back on his knees before he began to stripp off his school girl clothes slowly, unconsciously giving the virus a show. "I heard you... I'm just ignoring it until you prove it..." he mumbled, hands running over his own chest as if he was teasing the virus, but he was just checking out all the hickeys he'd been given, whimpering softly as he touched over his sore, sensitive nipples.

Thrax: Reli now? Then maybe I should just start proving to u right here, right now *almost glomped Oz as he teased the nipples, sucking at the already red n blue hickies tht were on the cell*

Thrax: Mmm... *ran his tongue along the cell's bk as his fingers did his magic, rubbing them n tweaking them*

Ozzy shivered and mewled out, arching his back. It hurt for them to be played with, but it felt good, too. "Nnn! N-no~" he moaned, biting his lip before he used what strength he had to roll them over so Thrax was on his back on the floor. Panting, he slowly sat up on his stomach, flushing as he looked over his shoulder at the virus. "Y-you're going to make them swell again..."

Thrax: *chuckled quietly* U were the one who wanted me to prove to u tht I will not do anything tht'll make u jealous, so I'm proving it to u by showing u tht ur the only one I would truly touch *smiled* U forget tht I'm not like other viruses. I dont hv to infect other cells n create spawns to destroy a body. I am special, one of a kind virus tht do not require some silly spawn herd to do my bidding. All I need is the hypothalamus n this body will go dwn in ruins. Silly lil' baby *nudged the cell's forehead with his knuckles*

"I-I didn't think you'd attack me!" Ozzy whined, pouting at him before rubbing his forehead, wiggling on his stomach before looking down at his chest, seeing it was slightly swollen again due to the virus' mouth.

Thrax: *chuckles as he sees the swollen chest* Well, arent we starting to sport boobs again, innit? Too bad there aint any ice bandages to keep it dwn for the moment. U might as well shave n keep up with the schoolgirl getup

*Ozzy's eyes widened as he flushed, covering up his chest. "This is your fault!" he insisted, biting his lip as he watched the virus, shaking his head. "I-I am not being a damned she-cell! And I'm not getting rid of my goatee... I like it..." he grumbled, pouting at him as he absently played with the hair on his chin.

*Thrax: *laughs as he helped the cell get off him* Then u better put on those new clothes there, baby. There's an epidemic to be spread. We've got work to do *dressed in his clothes in tht dangerous suave fashion, something the cell hasnt seen yet*

*Ozzy flushed and quickly got himself dressed in his new clothes, stuffing the uniform into his bag, trying to find something to stopp the swelling. "Hey, do you have any sort of bandage to... I... uh..." he mumbled, trailing off as he stared up at Thrax.

*Ozzy flushed and quickly got himself dressed in his new clothes, stuffing the uniform into his bag, trying to find something to stopp the swelling. "Hey, do you have any sort of bandage to... I... uh..." he mumbled, trailing off as he stared up at Thrax.

Thrax: I told u I dont hv any ice bandages with me. I swear, half of wht I say doesnt get thru u, does it? *he had no idea he was the problem tht Oz gets distracted all the time*

"Uh uh... um... I... any sort of... fabric...?" Ozzy mumbled half heartedly, shaking his head when he caught himself staring, flushing lightly and looking down, noticing that his chest only showed a little, making him whine. Damned manipulative membrane!

Thrax: *shook his head, chuckling at the way Oz was so flustered* I'll try to find some thing for tht. In the meantime, why dont u just wear an extra shirt inside to cover it up?

"I don't HAVE an extra shirt... all I have is that stupid outfit..." Ozzy grumbled and closed up his back, getting to his feet as Nessie ran around them, yapping happily, unable to wait to help his Daddy with what ever he wanted.

Thrax: Then we'll c wht we can get in town to remedy tht. In the meantime, lets go find a proper hideout for the moment

Ozzy pulled his bag onto his back, blinking a few times when Nessie rushed over to the door, barking happing when he ran around in circles in front of the door. "I think he wants to go..."

Thrax: Yes, yes, mutt. Let's go *opens the door, then took Oz's hand n led them out*

Nessie yapped again, rushing out of the door and into the almost deserted street as the two other's followed, Ozzy stumbling beside the virus. "So... where are we going to go?"

Thrax: First off, find some plc to stay tht would be close enough to get to our target, then *flares his claw n grins at Oz* The fun begins

"Fun... yeah, sure..." Ozzy mumbled and looked around. "So... what are we looking for exactly?"

Thrax: Just some plc to stay, more or less, tht is close to every necessity, yet close enough so we can get to the brain *sees Nessie bounding abt* Oi! Slow dwn, mutt! I swear I'm getting u a leash nxt time

Nessie yapped at the virus, his tail wagging, having no idea what he was talking about before he bound off again, making Ozzy laugh. "Well, this place seems pretty empty... kinda shocking really... Though... Something tells me it's not a good idea to get a hotel again..."

Thrax: *rolled his eyes at the pup before turning to Oz* Ur quite right, though I wouldnt be surprised for a city of a psychopath

Ozzy blinked and sighed softly. "So what are we going to do?" he asked, blinking in surprise when he saw Nessie rolling around in the dirt again.

Thrax: *picks the pup by the scruff of the neck n pats him off the dirt* Ur a regular dirt bag, aint ya, baby? *sees a billboard tht shows the route of Sanderson Town* Hmm... *approaches it n studied it*

Nessie blinked and whined out, kicking his back paws at the virus' hand, nipping at him, making Ozzy laugh. "Huh... what have you found?"

Thrax: *looks at the billboard again, then points at a demolished site somewhere near the back cranial area, marked "Desolated Housing Estate"* Hmm, just as I thought. Perfect hideout

Ozzy came over and read what the virus was pointing at, frowning some. "You... can't be serious..." he mumbled as Nessie pawed at Thrax, nipping at him again.

Thrax: *stuffed the pup into his jacket* Do I look like I'm joking? Its the best plc we've got. Its close to the brain, near to all necessities since the brain probably has the best stores of all the body n its a desolated housing estate, no one would think twice to find us there

Nessie blinked a few times as he was stuffed in the jacket before burying himself around, yapping and knawing on the side of the coat as Ozzy looked up, sniggering a little. "Fine... at least there should be proper beds there." he said before stretching. "Mmm... I might go wander the stores for a while, too while you do your... planning."

Thrax: Good. Let's get there then. Bt first, we need a ride *looks ard for any unattended vehicle lying ard*

"Modifying cars again?" Ozzy mumbled as Nessie knaws at the coat more, yapping out as he wiggled around, managing to squirm out of the coat and jumped to Ozzy before jumping down, yapping and sniffing around, his tail stuck up in the air.

Thrax: Our mutt determined to be the helpful prodigal son, eh, baby? Just like u *grins at the cell while continuing to look*

Ozzy blinked a few timse before hufing. "He's not like me, damn it! And I'm not like that." he insisted as Nessie yapped and suddenly ran off, skidding as he ran around the corner before he yelped out, crashing into an abandoned car, whimpering.

Thrax: *came at his yelp n saw the car. It was a bit of a worn dwn humvee, bt still in good shape* Well, better than nothing *picked the pup up n passed it to the cell, then brandished his claw n fiddled at the lock a little to open the door* C'mon, baby. Hop in

Ozzy gently took Nessie after running after him, cooing to him like he was a baby, kissing the puppy's head and holding him close. "Such a good puppy~" he said, grinning at him before moving over. "Right... 'Daddy'?" he huffed, nudging Thrax as he passed him before getting in the car.

Thrax: Yes, good mutt. Whatever *flared up his claw n slammed it into the section near the dashboard, infecting the humvee n Thrax-ifying it within seconds before driving away with it* Mm, smooth ride. Remind me to thank whoevr left this car lying ard later *grins*

Ozzy rolled his eyes at the virus, cradling the pup in his arms. "Just ignore him puppy, you are good... much more than Daddy." he said teasingly, tickling his stomach before snuggling with him, flushing when the pup nuzzled into his swollen chest.

Thrax: *sees tht scene n grins* It looks almost like our pup son wants some of Mommy's milk now, innit?

Ozzy flushed and glared up at him. "Wha... no he doesn't!" he huffed though blinked in surprise when Nessie whined and pawed aroud at the mention of milk.

Thrax: *laughed* He definitely does to *nudged the pup's head* Forget it, silly mutt. Until u hv a new brother or sister, there aint gonna be no milk in there

Ozzy grumbled. "Cause puppies like milk!" he huffed before blinking in surprise. "What do you mean 'until'?" he said, raising an eyebrow as Nessie whined, wanting milk now.

Thrax: I thought cats like milk *grins* Remember wen I said I want to impregnate u? Well, bcoz ur originally male, certain physical changes will happen with u. For starters, u might grow a birth canal during the birth, as u already knw wen I aborted the germ's spawn in u bk then. Secondly ur chest will expand to accomodate milk for the child's 1st yr of consumption. I've seen it happen before wen I was invading the Motown lady. An Influenza n a cell couple, infected into T4 of course

Ozzy's mouth hung open as he stared up at the virus. "I... I'm basically going to turn into a woman? Oh Frank... No... no way..." he groaned out and covered his face, his cheeks heating up.

Thrax: Oh dont be such a pussy. Its only for a year, n its only gonna be the boobs. The birth canal will be gone a week aftr birth, n the boobs once our spawn hits a yr old. No one would notice

Ozzy pouted at him. "I really don't want some kid sucking on my nipples to get milk..." he mumbled, grumbling as he went back to petting Nessie.

Thrax: Right, u say tht now, bt like I said, u'll feel differently once its ur kid *sees the housing estate up ahead* Ah, we're almost there now

Ozzy grumbled and rolled his eyes. "I'd give it a bottle... IF I let you do it..." he mumbled before looking up. "Good, now I can go explore with Ness..."

Thrax: *drove a little deep dwn into the housing estate n picked a home tht looked like its one of those fully furnished homes n parked there* Careful, dont get urself into trouble now, baby

"I'll be fine, I'm the germinator, remember!" Ozzy said with a grin before he got out of the car with his bag and Nessie.

Thrax: *rolled his eyes* Yeah, yeah, I knw. My baby can RELI take care of himself *hint of sarcasm as he entered the house, scouting ard*

Ozzy glared at him as he walked off, huffing and grumbling at him. "Hmph! I can take you on..." he grumbled to himself before he took his bag inside and tossed it on the floor before he wandered off.
