I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 55

Thrax: *drove for a while, then saw a bed n breakfast inn up ahead near ard the brain centre they were in* Hmm, looks good, for now

By this time, Ozzy had finished his chocolate and was pouting along the way. "Oh, yay! Hideout! Go, go, go!" he called out, bouncing on his seat.

Thrax: *rolled his eyes n drove towards the bed n breakfast inn. It had a sort of quaint high-class country style to it* Here we are. Let's go

"Whoo~" Ozzy cheered, grabbing his bag and Nessie before getting out of the car, seeming to be having a little 'sugar high' from the chocolate.

Thrax: *rolled his eyes as he followed behind, then approached the receptionist* Hi, a room for three pls?

Ozzy stood by the desk. bobbing up and down on his feet, grinning a little. "Yeah, yeah~ And one with a BIG~ bath~" he said, grinning cutely at the she-cell who giggled behind her hand and nodded before typing away to see if they had any rooms free. "Here you go, sirs." she said, handing them a room key. "Room, 206, second floor."

Thrax: *smiled suavely at the cell* Thank u vry much, milady *rolled his eyes at Oz's perkiness n dragged him to the room. Once entered, it reli resembled like one of those rooms in a quaint cottage setting*

The she-cell giggle and Waved to Ozzy as he Waved goodbye, skipping off happily to the room. Once in the room, he turne to Thrax and began patting his chest. "Chocolate now~ Come on, you'll melt it with your heat!"

Thrax: Nuh-uh *shook his head as he held it close. U said u wanted to enjoy it in a bath. Go prepare it first

Ozzy blinked in surprise before whining at him, pouting up at him. "Thrax~" he whined, pressing up against him and nipping at his claws. "Give me my chocolate~ Or... Or... no more dirty stuff for you!"

Thrax: *raised a brow* Since wen has tht ever detered me? *points to the direction of the bathroom* Go do ur bath, now. Then we'll talk

Ozzy huffed at him, his cheeks puffing up. "Aw man, you're such a... a... common house hold germ!" he said, sticking his tongue out before heading off to the bathroom.

Thrax: *raised a brow and turned to Nessie* Was tht supposed to be an insult? *chortled*

Ozzy huffed louder. "You'll never get into those stupid medical books! No one cares about common colds!" he called out before going over to the bath, starting to run the water.

Thrax: *smirked* Well, once I'm done with this entire prison, I will be. *took off his own clothes, shaking them off the flakes*

Ozzy huffed and decided to ignore him, well, until he got his chocolates. He added bubbles to the water and soon stopped it, stripping off his clothing before glancing back to spot a mirror, pouting as he looked at himself. "I think I'm getting chubby..." he mumbled to himself with a light frown.

Thrax: *came frm behind n nuzzled him* Tht's wht u get frm eating take-out all the time. Bt then a little meat in those bones might be sexy *nibbled the cell's neck*

Ozzy blinked in surprise when Thrax's body covered his view. "Wha? Meat? No~ I don't want to be faaaaat~" he whined and covered himself up, pouting. "I need more exercise..."

Thrax: Well, I guess if ur afraid of being fat, then chocs r out of the question *leaves Oz hanging as he entered the bath, the box of chocolates still in his hand*

Ozzy blinked in surprise. "H-hey! This in my relaxing bath, and MY chocolates!" he called out, huffing and glaring at him as he leaned over the edge of the bath to grab the chocolates.

Thrax: *holds it out of his reach* Ah, ah, ah. Ur not getting it until u set foot into this bath with me. C'mon now *gestured him to come in*

Ozzy pouted at him, but then grinned, slowly putting one foot in the bath. "Okay, give it now!" he said, sniggering a little.

Thrax: *growled n took Oz's hand, forcing him to enter the bath, making him fall in with a splash, although luckily his other hand holding the choc was out of range of the water splatter, grins at the cell coughing n spluttering* Much better

Ozzy gasped out as he was suddenly pulled in, coughing and flailing as the water got in his mouth and face, rubbing his face.

Thrax: *chuckled as he reached for the towel n wiped his face* Aww, poor lil cell got himself a faceful of suds, huh?

Ozzy coughed and glared weakly up at the virus, huffing at him. "Y-you... nnn..." he groaned, burping a little after he swallowed some of the water. "Ugh..."

Thrax: *smiled looking at the bemused cell before gently laying the cell bk against the bath n fished out one chocolate frm the box* Say 'Ah'

Ozzy blinked a few times, pouting up at him. "What are you doing?" he asked, but couldn't resist the temptation of the chocolate and opened his mouth

Thrax: *slips the chocolate in* U just sit there n relax. I'll feed u for now

Ozzy flushed and grumbled at him, though slowly suckled on the chocolatey treat that he was given.

Thrax: *took another one, eyed at it for a bit n popped it in his mouth, then shrugged* Hm, taste like any other chocolate to me

Ozzy gasped as he stared up at the toher, looking like he had just killed Nessie. "M-mine!" he whined at him.

Thrax: *frowned* I only had one. Jeez. U look like u starved for a whole mth or something *waited until Oz was done with the chocolate he was suckling n took out another one* Say "Ah"

Ozzy pouted up at him and huffed. "I don't care, you acn't taste how GOOD they are..." he moaned lightly, opening his mouth for another chocolate

Thrax: *slips the chocolate into the cell's mouth* Well, I cant help it if cell food doesnt perk my taste buds tht much. U havent tasted real food till u've tasted something tht is of viral nature *smirks*

Ozzy suckled aon the chocolate, moaning happily to himself as he wiggled. "Huh? Viral food? What's so good about it?" he asked, pouting up at him.

Thrax: *smiled* I'll show u later. If my predictions are correct, we might find a fellow virus in this plc

Ozzy blinked in surprise, looking to the other as he opened his mouth for another chocolate. "Another Virus? Who?" he asked, squrimning around on his lap, glad that there were bubbled in this bath.

Thrax: *takes another n pops it into the cell's mouth* U'll see *grins*

Nessie: *yapped, wagging his tail to the point of wriggling, wanting to join his parents in the bath*

Ozzy pouted up at him before suckling on the chocolate, turning around on the virus lap, looking out and down at the puppy outside the tube, holding onto the edge and grinning some. "What is it Nessie~?"

Nessie: *yapped again, wanting to be let in the bath*

Thrax: Looks like our puppy son wants to hv a dunk with us as well

Ozzy huffed. "He's not our son!" he grumbled before reaching out, ending up flashing his butt as he grabbed the puppy, helping him into the deep tub.

Thrax: Well, u seem to be taken to heart tht ur his Mommy n I'm his Daddy *chuckles*

Nessie: *yapped happily n dog-paddled to n fro in the tub*

"Only cause the damned mutt doesn't understand that I'm Ozzy and you're Thrax..." Ozzy huffed, sitting back and opening his mouth, though watching the puppy paddling around.

Thrax: Oh, I'm sure he knws, since we call each other by name. Bt he was a stray, n we're all the family he's got

Nessie: *sees the chocolate n yapped, wanting one*

Ozzy blinked in surprise, looking to the pup before frowning. "Oh no, you two have already taken my bath time, you're not taking my chocolate, too!"

Nessie: *whined*

Thrax: Sorry, mutt. No can do. These things will kill ya, n I dont mean figuratively. Daddy will get u something else, a'ight?

Nessie: *frowned n dog-paddled to the other corner of the bath, sulking*

Ozzy suckled on the chocolate before he leaned closer, petting the puppy. "Hey, come on Nessie, don't sulk... we'll get you a big bone to play with, how about that?" he said with a grin before giving a warning glare at Thrax incase he took his words wrongly.

Thrax: *looked bk at him with a "What?" look, seemingly innocent enough*

Nessie: *turned ard, seemed interested at the word 'bone'*

Ozzy rolled his eyes before looking back at Nessie, kissing his muscle. "A nice, big, jucie bone? Would puppy like that?"

Nessie: *let out a somewhat dog smile as he licked his Mommy happily, seeming to forget abt his sulking*

Thrax: *snorted* I swear he's more like u everyday

Ozzy laughed and nuzzled the puppy back, rubbing his hands over his back before sticking his tongue otu at the virus. "Hmph, you're just jealous you haven't got a mini you!"

Thrax: *rolled his eyes* Why would I want a mini me wen I've already got two little mini-s here to take care of. N ur smart abt not letting Ness eat chocolates. Germ dogs r just like frm where their city comes frm. Chocolate is like poison to them, it'll kill him in 10 seconds flat coz the cocoa is indigestable in their system n clogs up the gut

"Jealous~" Ozzy said, blowing raspberries before his eyes widened when thevirus explained about the chocolate. Quickly scppoingu p Nessie, he held him close, whimpering. "W-well, I won't let him ever have it..."

Thrax: A little bit wouldnt harm him, bt chocolate like these frm the Endorphin Farm would definitely be like cyanide to him

Ozzy snuggled the puppy, kissing his muzzle. "Poor puppy... don't worry. We'll find you some special chocolate that you can eat~"

Nessie: *yapped, panting happily*

Thrax: We're dwn to the last one, baby *takes out the said chocolate* Maybe I should help u finish it *grins mischievously*

Ozzy froze, looking to the virus before his eyes narrowed at him, growing. "Don't you DARE eat my chocolate..." he hissed at him, huffing. "Tell him Nessie!"

Nessie: *yapped in a scolding manner*

Thrax: See? Told u he's more like u everyday *laughs* Say "Ah"

Ozzy huffed the wet puppy against his body, sticking his tongue out. "Maybe I like having a mini me... stop being so jealous~" he said before leaning closer and opening his mouth.

Thrax: *grins as he used the same tactic, leaning forward to give the cell a deep kiss, then pulled away suddenly n while Oz was still flustered, popped the chocolate into the cell's mouth*

Ozzy's eyes widened in suprise, gasping and flushing, moaning quietly in his throat before panting when he pulled back. Flushing more, he glared weaking before sitting back, suckling on his chocolate, still holding Nessie.

Thrax: *chuckles* Ur so easy to tease *poked at Oz's head before getting out of the tub n took the detachable showerhead to wash himself off the soap*

Ozzy pouted at him before huffing and sitting back with Nessie, suckling on his chocolate. "Getting out already?"

Thrax: Well, I'm all squeaky clean now, n u want to enjoy ur bath, dont u? *standing there in front of the cell in all his naked glistening glory* 'Sides, I got some sleuthing n planning to do

Ozzy flushed and looked away from him, clearing his throat. "Oh... so you're going out?" he asked, frowning some at him as he gently petted Nessie.

Thrax: Well, I'm taking a nap first, THEN I'm going out. Enjoy ur bath, baby *left the bathroom*

Ozzy sighed and nodded slowly before setting Ness back in the water and relaxed back, closing his eyes with a yawn. "Mmm... much better..."

Nessie: *continued to dog-paddle, bt not tht vigorously anymore*

Thrax: *dried himself n changed into the hotel sleep robes n climbed into bed, yawning n falling asleep almost immediately*

Ozzy ended up becoming so relaxed that he fell asleep in the bath tub as the sugar high slowly died away, purring sometly in his sleep.

Nessie: *sees his Mommy sleeping n leapt out of the bath, shaking himself dry n tottered to Thrax, tugging at his sleeve, whining*

Thrax: Hmm...wha...? *looked at the pup* The hell, wht u wakin' me up for, mutt?

Nessie whined and tugged at his sleeve more, sitting down as he pawed at the side of the bed, Looking back to the bathroom door, he yapped lightly.

Thrax: *looked to where the pup was looking n groaned* Mommy fell asleep in the tub again?

Nessie yapped in reply before he tugged the virus again, bouding off towards the bathroom. Ozzy had turned on his side and curled up, half his face covered in water.

Thrax: *got up to see the cell in tht position n chuckled. He carried him out of the tub n helped washed the suds off him, dried him n brought him to the bed, dressing him in his boxers n bed robes before snuggling with him in bed, kissing his forehead in the process*

Ozzy groaned and wiggled around, his eyes cracking open for a moment and glanced up at the virus, giving a cute yawn, rolling over and snuggling against him. "Mmm... where am I...?" he mumbled, rubbing his eye.

Thrax: Ur in the bed with me. U fell asleep in the bathroom again. Go bk to sleep, baby *cuddled him close*

Ozzy yawned and shuffled around, stretching. "Nnn... damn... I hope I didn't... nnn... wrinkle..." he mumbled lightly as he curled back up in the virus' arms, closing his eyes.

Thrax: U'll still be my precious baby *purred a little as he nuzzled him n slowly drifted off to sleep*

Ozzy quickly followed by him, soothed by the virus' breathing and heart beat as he curled up in his arms, smiling in his sleep.
