I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 72

Ozzy whimpered at him, wriggling around. "I'm a grown cell... not a baby... don't start this arguement again..." he grumbled at him, resting his head on his shoulder as Nessie bound ahead, pawing at the room door of the virus' brothers, yapping eagerly.

Thrax: Right... *grins as he knocked on the door*

Twins: Hai~! *got the door n saw them* A-ra? Ottoto-chan? R we getting Oz to-chan aftr all?

Thrax: U wish, dick brains. We just need to nap here for a while. Our room is in desperate need of...cleaning

Klepta: Must've been a wild night, huh? *grins*

Thrax: Dont evn go there *glares at all 3 of them before laying Oz on the bed*

Ozzy whimpered as he was soon laid on the soft bed, squirming around and turning over, curling up, laying half on his side and half on his front. Little blood spots began forming through his jammies from the wounds that Thrax had made. "Mmmghhh... soft..." he mumbled, nuzzling the soft blanket he was laying on.

Twins: *sees the blood spots* Aah~?! Wht did u do to Oz to-chan~?!

Thrax: Wht? Wht do u mean?

Klepta: *sees it too* Hmm, a little rough on playtime, dont u think? Didnt u evn bother to bandage him?

Thrax: U would forget too if u just had mind-blowing sex in the bathroom

Twins: *groaned* Mataku... (seriously) *went to the bathroom to get the first aid*

Ozzy groaned, slowly looking up and flushing, shaking his head. "W-we never had sex!" he insisted, burying his face in the pillow. He hated other people knowing what he had done, expecially that. He blinked in surprise when he heard the word 'bandage', mishearing him and flushing deeply. "W-we didn't do bondage, either!" he squeaked, watching Nessie, climb up on the bed and cuddle with his mommy.

Klepta: I said "bandage", doll, not "bondage". Looks like ur still out of it u cant evn hear the words right *chuckled as he took the first aid n took off Oz's robes before he started applying meds on those cuts*

Twins: *giggled* Nxt time asobo desho? (play with us) U seem to hv a lot of fun with Thrax ottoto-chan *laughed out loud*

Ozzy flushed in embarrassment at his mistake, blinking in surprise when the virus took off his robes. "Wha..." he mumbled before hissing out. "A-ah, what the Frank is that?!" he huffed, wriggling away from him.

Klepta: Its just meds, doll. Nothing to it. Geez, Thrax, did u hv to cut so deep? No wonder it stings on him

Twins: *wanted to help hold Oz dwn bt was pushed away by Thrax*

Thrax: Dont u dare! *scowled at Klepta n held onto Oz gently* I didnt cut tht deep

Ozzy made a face at the meds, grumbling and shaking his head. "I don't want 'em." he mumbled, the cuts stinging and throbbing.

Klepta: Now, now, u'll need it lest u get an infection. *finish putting the last of the meds before starting to bandage him* Is he always this babyish? *grins*

Thrax: U dont knw the half of it *rolled his eyes n grinned*

Ozzy blinked in surprise before he scowled and smacked them both hard with a pillow. "I am not babyish!" he called out, grumbling and crossing his arms stubbonly.

Twins: *guffawed at their antics*

Klepta: *finished the bandages* There, all done. *lets Thrax dress the cell up* So, I'm sure ur wondering where r ur other siblings n how did we end up where we were

Ozzy yawned softly, shuffling around in Thrax's arms, rubbing his eye. He rested back against him now the fiddling was done, listening to Klepta.

Thrax: Yeah well, we r pretty curious. U havnt exactly told me everything

Klepta: Well, for starters, u technically hv more than us 5 sibs. Including the ones tht Big Mama killed, u actually hv abt 20 sibs

Ozzy's eyes widened as he looked up at the other virus. "W-wow... you hear that, Thrax? You have a damn big family..." he said, his eyes still wide.

Thrax: *looked mildly surprised as well*

Twins: Hai hai, oto-san genki desho? (our dad's "vibrant", aint he)

Klepta: Mom's a firm believer in having sons than daughters, so whenevr she had a girl, she would terminate it. If it weren't for Dad who wants at least a girl to baby with, u wouldn't hv a single sister. Including me n Rogue n Rodeo, u hv 4 bros n 2 sis

Ozzy blinked in surprise, scowling at the mention of their mother. He loathed that she-virus. "Huh? So there's six more to find?" he asked softly, chewing on his lip, frowning some.

Klepta: No, there's actually 3 more to find. Like I said, including us, he's got 4 bros n 2 sis. There's me Klepta, them Rodeo n Rouge, then Edison n twin girls Lavinia n Lavatnia

Twins: Meh, oka-san no oni ne... (mom's a demon)

Ozzy groaned and slumped back against Thrax, pouting a little. "Aw man, not more twins... I hate twins..." he grumbled, giving a pointed look at the two twins in the room.

Thrax: *grins* Well, like they said, Dad is a "vibrant" fellow

Klepta: *chuckles* As I was saying, Thrax wasnt the only one to suffer witnessing the death of his siblings. We witnessed countless times of Big Mama terminating every single sister we had, n wen we told tht to Pops, he just looked the other way, bt I think it was Edison who got thru to him n convinced him to accompany Big Mama during Lavinia n Latvania's birth. He managed to stop her frm killing them, bt not a day went by where Big Mama would just treat them like second class citizens, like as if she had nvr birth them at all. And wen u were born, Thrax, all hell broke loose

Ozzy's hands tightened into fists as his eyes narrowed. "... If I ever see her, I'll kick her ass!" he said before suddenly yawning cutely, rubbing his eye and grumbling.

Twins: *blushed at Oz's cute expression* Kawaii ne~!! *hugged him n nuzzled him*

Thrax: Get the fuck lost! *punched them away* Maybe u should save the story for another day, Klepta. Oz needs his rest

Klepta: I guess ur right on tht. U sure wore him dwn *grinned*

"I'mma not tired!" Ozzy near slurred out from his tiredness, huffing and rubbing his eye again, his eyes fluttering, looking surprisingly adorable without knowing it.

Twins: Kuu~! Kawaii~!!

Thrax: Yes u r, baby *cradled him close n hummed their song, patting his side to lull him to sleep*

Ozzy gave another one of his cute yawns, curling up in the virus' arms and grumbling. "I'm not... not tired..." he mumbled, though that song seemed to have a strange power over him.

Thrax: *continued to hum the song, petting him n lulling him to sleep, kissing his forehead*

*Klepta n the twins watched in awe as he did his thing, at wonder of Thrax's influence n power ovr this young T4 cell*

Ozzy eventually crashed in the virus' arms, his head lolling to the side as he absently suckled on his lower lip, curling up in his arms.

Twins: Kawaii~!

Klepta: Shh...Let him sleep. U wanna join us for some drinks dwn at the cafe while he sleep?

Thrax: Nah, maybe not. This kid will cry like a baby if I'm not there by his side when he wakes up

Klepta: A'ight. Cya in an hour then

Nessie yapped happily, his body wiggling as his tail wagged, soon curling up beside Thrax to sleep himself as Ozzy curled up tighter.

Thrax: *chuckled as he watched the both of them sleep before dozing off himself*

The tired cell ended up sleeping the rest of the day, waking up late into the evening. Groaning, he shuffled around, rubbing his eye before he wiggled out of Thrax's arms, wincing and limping off to the bathroom.

*Klepta n the twins were already bk frm their binge, n were watching telly wen Oz awoke*

Twins: A-ra? Konbanwa, Oz to-chan

Ozzy grumbled sleepily in reply, yawning before disappearing into the bathroom, closing the door behind him. A few momently later, there was a flush and the little cell came out, rubbing his eye.

Twins: Ya~! Kawaii ne, Oz to-chan~! *came to him n nuzzled him*

Ozzy gasped out, grunting and stumbling back as he was surrounded by the twins. "Nnngh... go away~" he whined at them, attempting to walk away.

Klepta: Alright, alright, stop acting like ur gonna hump the poor kid

Twins: Moh~! *pouts at Klepta before letting him go*

Ozzy flushed and grumbled at them, stretching before limping over to Klepta, deciding a little t.v might be nice.

Klepta: So, slept well there, doll? *made way for him to sit*

Ozzy yawned, slumping down onto the couch and rubbing his eye. "Mmm... I guess so..." he mumbled softly.

Klepta: So, how exactly did u meet our brother? Pray tell

Twins: Hai hai, we wanna knw too~!

Ozzy blinked a few times, looking back and forth between the viruses before grinning. "He was trying to kill the body I was it... but I, Osmosis Jones, The Germinator took him down with ease! When I was done with him, he didn't know what hit him~"

Rogue: Nani? Honto desho~? Thrax ottoto-chan lost to u?

Rodeo: So u were the one who seduced him then, ne?

"Mhm, he lose to me!" Ozzy said, grinning a little. "Well, no exactly... I made him beg for me." he said, sniggling and grinning as he looked to the twins. "By the end of it, he was begging to stay with me, begging me not to turn him in and get him kicked out of Frank."

Twins: Heh~! Suge~! Anata wa bishounen kira desu ne~! (ur a pretty boy killer)

Thrax: *was already awake wen he heard the twins nuzzling the cell, bt kept quiet until Klepta popped the question, n grinned at Oz's answer then leaned ovr* Reli now? I thought u couldnt evn blow me out of a zit, lost ur job coz no one believed u, lost a girl who's not interested in u n stayed with me coz u hv nowhere else to go. If I'm not mistaken, YOU were the one begging me not to leave u wen I was caught by the feds

Klepta: *laughs* Now tht's most likely the Thrax I expected

Ozzy jumped when he heard that voice, his eyes widening before his cheeks flushed darkly. He couldn't believe he had done that. "... You bastard!" he huffed, slamming a pillow in Thrax's face before sulking.

Thrax: *chuckles as he hugged Oz* I love u too, baby

Twins: Nani? So tht's wht reli happened?

Thrax: In not so many words, yes. Bt the fact is I conquered him, not the way ard, n tht's how he likes it, dontcha, baby?

OZzy huffed and grumbled, rolling his eyes and pushing him away. "He's just embarrassed and doesn't want to admit that he was beat by a cell!"

Klepta: *laughed* By ur initial reaction, I think I'm gonna take Thrax's word for it. Sorry, doll. *laughs at Oz's reaction* So, u still wanna knw abt our backstory?

Ozzy grumbled and pouted, huffing and hugging his knees. "No fair..." he grumbled, blinking and looking up. "Oh, yeah!"

Klepta: Well where was I?

Twins: Thrax ottoto-chan's birth

Klepta: Ah yes, well, the day he was born, Big Mama was vry disappointed tht he came out vry weak. He was always sick n often getting relapse. So Big Mama decided to terminate him. I was there wen it happened. I was feeding Thrax his milk, since Big Mama is not a fan of breastfeeding, wen she came in, pushed me away n stuffed a pillow ovr his head. I begged for her to stop, bt she kept slapping me away. Then somehow, it triggered Thrax's powers. With one slice, tht killer claw of his ripped the pillow into two n burned it to pieces. I hv nvr seen Big Mama tht shocked in all my life, bt she was genuinely amazed by it. It was nothing she had evr seen before. None of us had tht trait. Only Thrax. Frm then on, he was special

Ozzy blinked and frowned, hating the she virus more and more as he listened, nodding slowly as Klepta spoke. "Eh... sometimes I wish I could put a pillow over his face... might shut him up..."

Thrax: *frowned n spanked Oz a little before turning to Klepta* Go on

Klepta: Well, a week aftr the incident, I was accompanying Rouge to the bathroom wen we ovrheard Big Mama n Pops talking. Big Mama suggested to be rid of us n hv Thrax as their only child to succeed the Roja family. I dunno wht the hell possessed Pops to agree with it, bt he seemed to actually like the idea of dear ol' special Thrax running the family. I had to do something to save ourselves. To be honest, at tht time, I was pissed with Thrax. I was thinking, why do we hv to suffer for him? Why do we hv to die bcoz of him? I was a young n brash kid bk then, a bit hot-headed, n didnt think of Thrax at tht time. All I could think of was saving my other sibs...n myself *looks dwn guiltily*

"Hey, it's not your fault... you were young, you did what you had to... how were you to know what would happen?" Ozzy said, smiling kindly at the other as he reached out, his hand resting on his arm, the heat following onto him.

Klepta: *felt the heat n cringed bk, afraid of giving into tht feral lust whenevr viruses knw someone's in heat*

Rodeo: Mah, anywho we had a group meeting ourselves in the middle of the night to discuss our escape. Klepta oni-sama was 12, we were 9, Edison ottoto was barely 5 n Lavinia n Latvania imoto-chan only 3.

Rouge: U maybe wondering why we're so close in years apart wen we were supposedly could've been 20 sibs, tht's coz before Klepta oni-sama was born, we were supposed to hv 5 other elder onee-chan (big sis), n we witnessed the other 4 imoto-chan (lil sis) get terminated before we saved Lavinia n Latvania imoto-chan

Ozzy looked confused when the virus flinched away from him before shaking his head and looking to the twins as they began to speak. "... I feel so sad for them..." he whispered, hugging his knees again and frowning.

Thrax: *frowned as well as he wrapped his arm ard Oz's shoulder n squeezed it, his heart also clenched at the thought of it*

Klepta: We agreed to split up to throw off her tracks. Its better to be lost rather than dead. I wrote the letter with whtevr brotherly feelings I had left for baby Thrax n hid it in his favourite plushie, then took us all in the middle of the nxt night n fled

Rouge: I took Edison ottoto to a German Measles family to be raised

Rodeo: I took Lavinia n Latvania imoto-chan to a Sleeping Sickness family to be raised

Klepta: Then I left Rogue n Rodeo with a Japanese enciphalitis family to be raised while I became part of a Rabies family. Tht's why u see odd traits of us despite being the same family. Wen a virus, raised frm young age with another family while still retaining their traits frm their original family, will adapt physically with the family tht raise them. Tht's why the twins look albino-ish, while I look a little greenish with blonde hair

Ozzy stared, his eyes a little wide. "Wow... I think my brain just exploded..." he mumbled after he spoke, rubbing his head and pouted. "Alot of information to take in at once..." it was also harder since he didn't have a big attention span.

Thrax: *chuckles* Tht's wht u get for being a one-track minded simpleton who has ADD *flicks Oz's forehead*

Twins: *guffawed*

Ozzy grunts and rubs his head, glaring up at him, huffling. "I do not have ADD!" he huffed, biting on his finger before he could pull it back.

Thrax: *barely felt it since the claw is thicker than the rest of the skin, bt chuckles at it*

Twins: *laughed as well*

Thrax: So how did u manage to meet up with these dweebs?

Twins: Dweebs? Moh~! Hidoi ne~! (ur mean)

Ozzy pouted around the claw, knawing on it slightly in an attempt to hurt the virus. "Nn? Well... you ARE dweeb like..." he said, grinning and sniggering around the claw.

Twins: Oni-sama~! *pouted at Klepta*

Klepta: *laughed* We've only met abt a mth ago here wen we heard news abt the kills Thrax made. We figured out his MO n the plc he strikes, n knwing his ambitious nature he inherited frm Big Mama, we had a feeling he'd be here in federal prison whom Bob had connections with. Then I sent the twins to scout out each body to see where he might be.

Rouge: We were lucky aftr a dozen tries. We saw u wen we drop by the city where tht HIV Sanchez-san resides.

Rodeo: And we've been following u evr since, ne, oni-chan?

Rouge: Hai hai, ottoto-chan *laughs along with Rodeo*

Klepta: U hv to forgive them. This is a trait they adapted into aftr being raised by the Japanese enciphalitis family

Ozzy pulled off the claw and huffed, glaring at the twins. "Did they get the annoying behaviour, too? Or have they always been spaztic?" he asked, huffing and wriggling around in Thrax's arms, feeling too warm being so close to him.

Klepta: I'm afraid they've been tht way since they're born. Its their defense mechanism, to laugh away the pain they had suffered frm our family

Twins: Shikatanaiwa ne~! (can't be helped)

Ozzy sighed softly and shook his head, sitting on the couch on his own, wriggling around. "Heh... just one, big, disfunctional family..." he mumbled softly, raising his eyebrow and sighing.

Thrax: I guess we've been in cabin fever long enough. Shall we head out for a walk? Maybe a dinner out as well?

Twins: Subarashii ne~! (tht's great)

Klepta: I could use something other than hotel food

Ozzy blinked and pouted a little, tugging at Thrax's sleeve, hoping he knew what he wanted. He wasn't going to be walking around how he was, it ached too much.

Thrax: *noticed the look* Oh yes, n try to get a wheelchair, coz Ozzy baby here is gonna do more than just limping ard

Twins: Hai~! *made their way out to get the wheelchair*

Ozzy blinked a few times, pouting and nudging him hard in the ribs before grumbling, blinking in surprise when his stomach growled. "Nnngh... damn... I haven't eaten in a while..."

Thrax: *chuckled at the nudge n ruffled the cell's hair*

Twins: Tadaima~! (we're bk) *brought in the wheelchair*

Klepta: Ah good work. Lemme do the honours to our newly acquired family member then *swept the cell off his feet n sat him on the wheelchair*

Ozzy huffed at him before blinking and looking up at Klepta's words, his eyes widening as he squeaked out, his heated body pressing against the virus' in surprise before he grunted when he was sat down. "W-warn me if you do that!"

Klepta: I just did, u werent paying attention *chuckles*

Twins: Can we push Oz to-chan~?

Thrax: No friggin way! *pushed them aside* Ur just gonna treat it like a race cart sort of thing *takes the handles n pushed the chair instead*

Ozzy blinked and grumbled a few times, sitting back in the chair, grabbing nessie on the way out of the room, yawning a little. "So... where are we going?"

Klepta: Well, since we're in dog city, there's probably a nice park out there we can stroll on, or should we hv dinner first?

Thrax: I'm cool with either. Wht abt u, baby?

Ozzy groaned out. "Fooooood~" he insisted as his stomach gave another growl, making him wince a little and rub his stomach. He was so hungry!

Twins: *laughs* Boku ga harahate desu ne~! (we're hungry too)

Klepta: Alright guys. Dinner it is then

Thrax: Lead the way, bro, since ur the native ard here

Nessie yapped in agreement, sitting up on the cell's lap, looking around excitedly. It seemed he liked this plave alot more that the other bodies.
