I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 93

Ozzy flushed and burried himself into the virus' body, snuggling into the soft, cosy towel as his eyes fluttered closed.

Thrax: U seem tired, baby *lay him on the bunk bed n helped him dress before tucking him in* Maybe I should just show u the pics wen u wake up instead?

Ozzy shook his head and pouted up at him, reaching up to tug him down on the bed. "I want to see them... I haven't seen the older ones for a long while..."

Thrax: Alright, baby. I'll go get it *gets off the bed to get it n came bk with it. The album itself was pretty good, using vintage material*

Ozzy snapped awake when the other sat down beside him again. Rubbing his eye, he yawned and slowly shuffled over so the virus could sit with him.

Thrax: *lay dwn with him under the covers before opening the photo album*

*there were some pictures Thrax managed to save before destroying the old film n memory card, which were certain moments bk in Frank, some with Thrax in it, then later it seems tht Thrax had been secretly carrying the camera ard as there were shots of every plc they had visited n the hypothalamus chamber where Thrax made his kill. As it progressed, Klepta n the twins came into the picture, with the plcs they visited n the chamber where they make their kills. Pictures of Amber were included as well as the newest one with Edison in it as well as the candid pic of Oz in Thrax's arms, n there was evn a pic where it was taken of Oz sleeping halfway thru lulling Amber to sleep*

"Hey... you've been taking sneeky pictures!" Ozzy huffed at him even though he slumped in his arms, yawning and weakly batting his chest. "Huh... hey... when was this taken?" he asked, pointing to the one with him and Amber. "I don't remember this..."

Thrax: I think this is sometime during our speed-o style killing. Rouge took this wen u n he were waiting in the van for us to get done with another body

Ozzy pouted a little, grumbling and covering it with his hand. "I look stupid..." he mumbled and puffed his cheeks up before looking at the other pictures.

Thrax: No u dont. U look cute. Seriously *chuckles n nuzzled him as he looked at the pics along with him*

Rouge: *soon came home with Edison in tow* Tadaima~! (i'm home)

Rodeo: Okairinasai~! (welcome home)

Ozzy grumbled at him and flushed as he was nuzzled before looking back to the pictures, making a face at each one he was in. "I'm not being in anymore photographs..."

Edison groaned and rubbed his head, moving over to the nearest place to sit down. He had had enough of Rouge going on with himself that he had a headache

Thrax: Reli now? I'm sure ur photogenic enough *turns to Rouge who was cooing at Amber in Rodeo's arms* Well, Rouge. How did it go?

Rouge: Ne, Rabies no oku-san (wife) is pretty meticulous with schedules ne. She keeps it all in her PDA which Eddie-chan managed to hack in thru an internet cafe n make a printout *tossed it to Oz* Sa, u can study it at ur convenience. Eddie-chan wa gokurou-sa, ne? (Eddie did good, yeah?)

Ozzy grumbled before blinking in surprise when the paper was tossed to him, staring at it with half lidded eyes before he pushed it away. "Later..." he mumbled and yawned deeply, snuggling into the warmth.

Edison sighed and stared up at Rouge before huffing. "Ve vould of been back sooner... but he vouldn't let me concentrate..."

Thrax: *smirked at Oz snuggling into him n held him close* Wht did u do this time, Rouge?

Rouge: Nani? Boku wa ja nai~! (not me) Eddie-chan just wont hurry up, n the bodyguards tht went with her were giving us the dangerous look

"It vas hard to concentrate with him yapping on in my ear and nagging me..." Edison huffed and sighed, rubbing his temples.

Rouge: Moh~! Hidoi ne, Eddie-chan~! Oni-san is looking out for u. If it werent for me, those bodyguard-san would've found out wht we were doing, baka!

Thrax: *rolled his eyes n ignored them, pulling the curtain as he hummed Oz to sleep with their song

Edison gave an unimpressed look, rolling his eyes a little. "Excuse me, but no one has ever found out about my hacking..." he grumbled and huffed a little, slumping on the table and grumbling a little. "I vould of been faster, but dis one vouldn't shut up panicking at me..."

Ozzy yawned and curled up in the virus' arms, his eyes already closed and already passed out before he could even start to hum for him.

Thrax: Well, tht's wht u get for having a spaztic elder brother who wont act his age

Rouge: Hidoi yo, anata tachi~! (you guys are mean) Moh ii yo~! *went to go pampering his little girl again*

Rodeo: *laughed along with Amber*

Edison snorted a little and sighed, massaging his temples as his eyes fluttered closed. "Nnn... next time, I go alone..."

Klepta: *leans into the cell's bunk bed n reached for the file Edison printed out, keeping in mind not to wake both Oz n Thrax who had fallen asleep as well, n chked the schedule* Hmm, ur right, Rouge. The wife is a real stickler for schedules. So, did u find out the wife is a he or a she?

Edison blinked and looked up, looking to Rouge for him to explain before he got to his feet and moved over to the kitchen area to get a glass of water.

Rouge: *rolled his eyes* The oku-san (wife) is a onna. (woman) Got three kodomo-chan (children) on tow, all of them roughly a yr or two apart ne. Bt nvr goes anywhere with her bodyguards. Big tough guys, more brawn than brain tho

Edison sipped at his water, yawning and nodding in agreement. "It's going to be harder than we first thought..." came that thick German accent, eyes glancing up to the three other virus'. "It looks like it's going to be hard for Ozzy to get in with her..."

Rouge: *scratched his chin*

Klepta: I'm sure he'll figure something out. He's got the immunity blood in him. I'm sure he'll knw wht to do wen the time is right. He's a smart kid aftr all

Suddenly, a loud snore came from Ozzy, causing Edison to give a 'yeah right' look and shook his head. "You really think he can do this himself?"

Klepta: *felt like sweatdropping* Well, he may look like tht, bt he's good wen he's needed. We've been with him longer, we understand better.

Rodeo: Hai, hai! If not, we wouldnt trust him with Amber ne~! *nuzzles the little spawn*

Edison sighed softly and shook his head again, still not so sure. "I guess... but if he fails this... ve vill never get out of here..." he mumbled softly as he finished off his water and set the glass down.

Klepta: Cut him some slack, Eddie. I knw ur worried abt Lavinia n Lavatnia, bt it's Big Mama we're talking abt. We're gonna need to work with the cards tht we're currently dealt with, so u gotta learn to trust ppl frm now on, since ur with us

Edison blinked and huffed a little at his older brother before he crossed his arms over his chest and looked away. "Ja, I vill start believing in him vhen he proves that he is good enough for this... that he actually can help." he mumbled, shaking his head and moving to sit down again, snatching the schedule from Klepta as he walked passed him before looking it over.

Klepta: *was surprised wen his schedule was snatched away* Hey, I was reading tht *sighed n shook his head before he walked off to the kitchen to make a small snack*

Rouge: *cooed with Rodeo at their baby, meeting her every needs*

Edison just huffed in reply, looking over the schedule to see which would be a good time to get the cell in to 'meet' the virus' mate. He frowned a little, she had a couple of activities tomorrow afternoon, if they could get the cell into the club on the upper class side of town, he could get to her then. "Great, more hacking..." he mumbled before he pulled out the laptop he had bought while he was out and started to type away. He didn't want to help him, but this was for his sister's sake.

Klepta: *stole a look to see Edison hard at work n smiled secretly before finishing his snack n went to bed*

Twins: *managed to lull their little girl to sleep before going to the bathroom to hv some "private time", bt unbeknownst to them, Amber was too curious abt her new uncle to sleep. She crawled out of her crib n crawled all the way to Edison's bunk, trying to climb the ladder since Edison's bunk was at the top, dangling on it n murmuring in baby language, wanting to reach him

Edison blinked and stopped in his typing, feeling like he was being watched. Leaning over the side, he blinked in surprise, his eyes widening as he saw the spawn trying to get at him. "H-hey now, don't do that, you're going to fall..." he told her, biting his lip before he slowly reached down, pulling the little girl up on the bunk and sat her down, looking confused at her. "Uh..." he mumbled, unsure of what to do with her now.

Amber: *giggled as she was being picked up n sat dwn beside him, n smiled a toothless grin at him, then peered dwn to see wht her uncle was doing, being its her first time of seeing a laptop*

Edison blinked a few times, rubbing the back of his neck before he began to type away again, making sure the little spaw was okay as he did so. He hadn't looked after kids in a long while... it was strange for him.

Amber: *seeing tht he was clicking away n not understanding wht he was doing bored her a little. She then leaned forward to capture one of Edison's spiky hair in her mouth n started nibbling n chewing at it*

Edison paused in his typing once again, his eyes widening when he saw his hair being eaten. "H-hey now... you shouldn't do that..." he mumbled, tugging at his hair.

Amber: *giggled n ignored him, latching onto him n continued to chew on his hair, playing with his small ponytail, intertwining them in her fingers*

Edison groaned and made a face. "Ick... baby drool..." he grumbled, tugging at his hair and huffing a little. "Come on now, little baby... let me go..." he whined, unable to concentrate with the baby eating on him.

Amber: *giggled as she let him go, then nuzzled against his chest, laying her head on it n was slowly lulled to sleep by the virus' heartbeat n the clickety-click of his keyboard, having Edison's shirt in her mouth, suckling at it, like she does wen she was sleeping in her crib sucking her thumb or her blankey*

Edison blinked and sighed softly, shaking his head before he went back to hacking the system and getting Ozzy into the club under a new name. All he needed was to make the ID card, but he needed a picture. "Mmm... I guess I can vait until morning... I should really but you to bed..." he mumbled, looking down at the baby.

Amber: *seems to be vry comfy in Edison's arms*

Rodeo: *came out heel to heel with Rogue aftr their "private time" n saw Amber in Edison's arms* A-ra? How did Amber-chan end up here?

Edison sighed and just held her in his arms, setting the laptop to the side. Blinking, he looked down at the twins, grumbling a little. "She tried to climb up to get to me, so I picked her up..." he mumbled, glancing back down at her. "Uh... I guess you should take her back now..."

Rouge: A-ra? Why? She seemed to be vry comfy with u. Maybe u should be his crib for a while, ne, totto-chan? *laughed*

Rodeo: Hai hai. We should let u babysit awhile, ne~? *giggled naughtily as well*

Edison blinked in surprise, his eyes widening a little. "W-wha... but... but she's drooling on me!" he said, a little panicked. What if she fell out? What if he crushed her?

Rouge: Maa, maa, jodan desu ne, jodan (just joking). Sa, ikuso, Amber-chan *picks her off Edison's arms carefully so as not to wake her n tucked her into the crib*

Rodeo: Oyasuminasai, Eddie-chan *climbed into their bunk bed n pulled the curtain*

Edison blinked in surprise. "A-ah... ja... guten night..." he mumbled softly, looking down at his wet shirt and sighing softly before smiling a little before pulling off his shirt and laying down on his bed, closing his eyes. He had to admit, she was a sweet little girl.
