I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 96

*the few hours were spent trying to get Oz bk to shape in tennis, while Thrax, Klepta n Eddie watched them move. The twins took turns playing with Oz, n Amber was enjoying watching the ball going bk n forth8

Ozzy, surprisingly was great from the start, moving swiftly back and forth to hit the ball, the first serious, consentrated face he had ever had around the virus'. His membrane glisened as he began to sweat, panting lightly when he rushed back and forth, only slipping a couple of times but managed to hit the ball.

Thrax: *smiled at the way Oz was glistening, thinking him looking rather sexy being sporty like tht*

Klepta: Seems like he hadnt lost his touch yet, aye, guys?

Ozzy suddenly hit the ball, knocking it back behind the twin he was playing before he stopped, panting softly and grumbling. "... And this is why I didn't want you to know..."

Twins: *were totally defeated by Oz* Moh ii yo~! (enough) We quit! U win ne, Oz to-chan~!

Thrax: I guess the training was unnecessary *chuckles as he came up to Oz with a towel n a drink* Here ya go, baby. U look mighty sexy like this

Ozzy groaned and stumbled, slumping onto his knees, resting the racket down beside him before looking up, flushing a little as he looked up at the virus, panting. He was so tired out. There was no way he could do that again later. "Nnn... think I'd get her attention?" he asked, taking the towel and drink, downing the liquid in a couple of deep gulps.

Thrax: Yeah, sure. Beat a few guys ovr there, n u might just hv a ticket for this Rabies shot to notice u. U just do ur best, baby

Klepta: N we're almost time, doll. Time to get dressed n get going

Ozzy groaned softly and slowly got up, rubbing off his head and face, fanning himself a little as he moved back to the van. "... Do I really have to wear that outfit?" he whined, it looked rather tight and revealing... again.

Klepta: Yup, u hv to. She's drawn to interesting ppl bcoz of her usual strict, boring lifestyle bk then. Ur dressed nice, u play good, she's bound to hv her attention caught on u.

Thrax: Besides, if u do this *leans close to whisper at Oz's ear in the tone Oz likes* U'll get a nice reward

Ozzy grumbled before blinking, glancing to the side to look to Thrax, his cheeks suddenly pinkinig up as he shivered, his toes curling in his shoes. Oh, the smart bastard... "... F-fine!" he huffed, looking away and crossing his arms over his chest.

Thrax: *smirks* Tht's a good baby. C'mon, I'll help u change * helped him take off his clothes n put the tennis outfit on*

Twins: *whistled n whooped once he was done wearing, as the outfit was body-hugging, showing quite a bit of his curves, the shirt revealing a bit of his middle n the shorts looked short enough to be mini*

Ozzy blinked in surprise before his eyes widened. "H-hey, stop that!" he whined out, blushing as the new clothes were pulled onto him. When he was done, he looked himself over, flushing and covering up. "Aw man, do I have to where this!? It's so stupid and... nnn..." he groaned, tugging down the shirt.

Thrax: *smirks as he ran his hand along his body* I think u look mighty fine. Just nice to feel all tht beautiful curves on ur body

Klepta: 'Sides, its easier to catch her attention tht way. Dont u think he looks fine too, Eddie?

Ozzy blushed and whined out, flailing his arms a little before pushing at his hands. "Stop itt!" he whined.

Edison blinked and looked up. He looked over Ozzy before raising an eyebrow. "... He looks like a hooker..."

Thrax: *glared at him* He aint a hooker. He's sexy. Dont u dare call him tht

Edison rolled his eyes and looked away, yawning a little. "If you say so..." he mumbled as Ozzy whined, tugging at the clothes. "That's it, it's coming off!"

Thrax: *stops him* Ah, ah, ah. No way. Ur already wearing it, so keep ur shirt on. We're gonna be late. She'll be arriving the countryclub any minute

Rouge: Hai, hai. She's always punctual. On the dot, na no daa. Hayaku, hayaku~! (hurry)

Klepta: Then its time to ride *takes the wheel n started driving*

Ozzy groaned out and glared up at Thrax, tugging at his clothes again. "I'm sick of these clothes... I'm not a dress up doll, ya know!"

Edison shook his head, gasping as the van started up with a jolt, grabbing his laptop when it nearly slid off the table and grumbled before going back to it, seeming to be hacking once again.

Twins: *squeed along with their little girl as Klepta floored it all the way to the country club*

Thrax: *already more or less used to Klepta's driving as he stopped Oz* Baby, behave. We're not treating u as a dress-up doll. This is vital for the mission. If u dont behave *change to the dangerous tone* No. Reward.

Edison frowned. "You could at least be more inconspicuous!" he huffed to the speeding virus, rolling his eyes, soon hacking into the security of the country club, keeping an eye for their target.

Ozzy yelped as he was picked up, huffing and pouting before he froze, a shudder going down his spine from the voice before his hands instantly moved to hide his crotch. "Nnngh..." damn it, he couldn't, not now, not in this outfit!

Thrax: *smirks* Wht is this, baby? Turned on by this suit you're... *fell bk a little wen the trailer van skidded to a stop as it was parked a few blocks away frm the country club*

Klepta; We're here! Now, to let enter this plc in style *looked out thru the windscreen for some classy vehicle for Oz to make his appearance*

Ozzy whimpered and glared up at him, shaking his head. "I am not!" he huffed, wiggling out of his arms before blinking, looking confused. "Huh? Vehicle?" he mumbled, looking to the other virus.

Klepta: Ur not gonna want us to approach a high-classed country club in this little dingy thing, do u? U gotta go in with style

Rodeo: A-ra? Mitte, mitte~! (look, look) Tht one looks nice ne~!

*they were parked near a vehicle shop, n it was a nice, classy, posh motorbike in display. Definitely a suitable look for the cell's current outfit*

"Eh?" Ozzy blinked and looked out the window. "A... motorbike?" it looked good. "Is that really such a good idea?"

Rogue: Well, we cant reli snag a car at the moment. A stolen motorbike is less conspicuous than a stolen car, so ur gonna hv to deal with it.

Rodeo: Besides, we're technically "borrowing" it. We'll give it bk soon, ne, oni-sama?

Klepta: Tht is if u evn WANT to give it bk. *grins*

Ozzy pouted a little, rubbing the back of his neck. "I can't keep it even if I wanted to..." he mumbled and bit his lip, thinking back to his old car. "... Damn, I miss my baby..." he mumbled, face pressed against the window as he looked at the vehicles outside.

Rodeo: Sa, lets get the bike then!

Rouge: I'll go with u, ototto-chan~!

Klepta: Keep it on the dwnlow, a'ight?

Twins: Hai~! Sa, u be good with ur Eddie ji-san ne~! *puts Amber on Eddie's lap n left in a flash*

Edison blinked in surprise, looking down at the baby now in his lap. "What the... hey! I am vorking here!" he groaned, rubbing the back of his neck. He was really not good with children.

Ozzy whined and slumped down on the little couch. "I really want my baby back..."

Amber: *giggled n clung onto Eddie like a koala bear, nuzzling against his chest*

Thrax: Sorry, baby. Bt ur gonna hv to put up with it. I promise u once we've settled dwn, I'll find a car tht will look like ur old one

Klepta: Ah, an old attachment frm home, eh? Tht 'baby' of urs?

Edison blinked in surprise, tilting his head before poking the little girl's cheeks. "Come on, I got work to dooo." he groaned, not wanting to crush her against the table.

Ozzy sighed softly. "Still won't be my baby..." he mumbled before blinking and looking up to the other virus. "My very first car, man..."

Klepta: *chuckles* I knw how tht feels. Crashed my vry first car on my first heist. I spent hundreds of carbs for tht baby n I had to abandon it. Broke my heart, bt I got ovr it...eventually

Thrax: Oz has always been abt sentiments n attachments. Just like him attached to me *grins n nuzzled the cell*

Amber: *shook her head, refusing to let go, bt she did climb a little higher n clung again like a koala bear, bt at least she wasnt in a position where she would be crushed by the table*

Ozzy huffed and rolled his eyes, pushing his face away and crossing his arms over his chest. "Feh! I can get rid of you, easily." he teased before bending down and picking up the chubby puppy. "Now Nessie, I could NEVER get rid of him." he said, grinning at the virus.

Edison sighed softly. "You really are a weird one, aren't you?" he mumbled, shuffling to get comfortble before continuing his work.

Thrax: *rolled his eyes, picked Nessie by the scruff of the neck n tossed him onto the bed* Well I can. N I can NEVER get rid of u *hugs him close as well, mimicking Oz's hugging style of Nessie, chuckling darkly*

Klepta: *laughed n shook his head* You two r such an odd couple, bt I see u guys r MFEO, dontcha think so, Eddie?

Ozzy gasped and pouted, whining out. "Nessie!" he called out, attempting to run to him but was caught in the virus' arms, whining out again before blinking. "MFEO?"

Edison glanced up, an exsasperated look on his face as he sighed, mouthing for help as he glanced to the little girl.

Klepta: *sees Edison looking desperate, then grins n shook his head, mouthing "U'll learn" before turning to the duo again* It means "Meant For Each Other"

Thrax: *sees Edison's situation too n grinned*

Edison groaned and slumped in his seat, pouting at the baby. It was hard to concentrate with a child clinging to him.

"Meant for...? Ah, don't tell me you believe in that fate crap...? Only reason this started was he kidnapped me, I mean... possessive much?" Ozzy mumbled, rolling his eyes at him and pouting.

Thrax: Well, technically it started frm the moment we met at The Zit, so Klepta is right in a way. Bt yeah, I'm not into the fate crap. I make my own fate, which is with u *kissed Oz's cheek*

Klepta: *chuckled n shook his head, then turned to Edison* Oh dont be such a buzzkill. U used to babysit Lavinia n Lavatnia, n u hv a younger foster brother. Get ovr it

Ozzy blinked when he remembered the time in The Zit. "Oh yeah, when you wanted to paint the walls with my membrane." he said, looking unimpressed as he raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, but that was different back then! I'm old now and... kids have changed, they're evil!" Edison groaned and slumped back, poking the little girl's cheeks again. "Plus, those two didn't cling to me like this."

Klepta: *grins* R u saying tht this little girl is evil too?

Thrax: Heh. Tht was before I realized u were such a cute little sexy baby *glanced at Edison* U say ur old? Try telling tht to our eldest bro Klepta. He's practically a dinosaur

Edison nodded and pouted. "Especially with parents like those two." he grumbled, attempting to detach himself from the little girl.

Ozzy rolled his eyes. "Even at that point, I didn't know whether you wanted to kill me or rape me..." he grumbled, his cheeks pinking before he blinked, looking up and tilting his head. "A dinosaur? Damn, how old are you guys?"

Klepta: Hmm...*tapped his chin right* Thrax said ur just had ur 29th birthday a few mths ago, n Thrax is 15 yrs older than u, so...hmm... *calculated* Tht'll make Thrax 44, Lavinia&Lavatnia 47, Eddie 49, Rouge&Rodeo 53 n me 56 *grins, which was ironic coz neither of those viruses looked any older than their early 30's*

"Shut up!" Edison suddenly whined when he heard his age being said, glaring at his elder brother. He didn't want people knowing his real age, it made him feel so old.

Ozzy blinked dumbly a couple of times before his mouth hung open, staring in shock. "You're... 56... years... old?" he said, before looking him over again. "Dayum..." he mumbled, forgetting to hide how impressed he was.

Klepta: Perks of a virus, I suppose. We will only start to reli age once we hit the 100 yr marker, n frm there we still age a little slower. Cells usually hv a shorter lifespan than we do, bt since ur now a T4, I guess u'll probably hv tht attribute of slow aging as well

Thrax: Yup. U'll probably still look like the way u r evn if ur as old as our dinosaur here *laughed as he dodged a cushion thrown at him by Klepta*

Ozzy blinked a few times, nodding slowly. He didn't mind aging slower. Though, he bit his lip when he realised. "... I'm going to probably die before you..." he mumbled absently, rubbing the back of his neck before he wandered off.

Thrax: Now dont u say tht, baby, u will not die before us. If tht happens then I will die with u. I give u my word.

Klepta: Oi vey, u dont hv to go tht far, Thrax

Thrax: I mean it! *looks at both of them seriously* I hv lost ppl tht I care abt in front of my eyes too many times. I will not be alone again. If Oz dies, I die. I WILL go tht far, I swear it

Ozzy blinked and looked back at him, giving that rare genuine smile of his. "You don't have to do that. If I do die before you, you have to live, okay? Promise me? Besides, when I'm gone, Nessie's going to need his daddy to look after him." he said, giving a light smile.

Thrax: Bt...I cant live without u. Not aftr all tht I've lost... *held the cell close, showing him the emotion only meant for the cell to see*

Slowly, Ozzy's hand came up, gently touching the virus' cheek, stroking with his thumb. "You have your family now, you'll never be alone again, even if I'm not here..."

Thrax: No...Not without u...I wont allow it. I've been thru hell n bk for u, n I will not let u go. So if u go, I'll go. Nessie can be with my bros, bt I'm coming with u, whether u like it or not *held him close*

Ozzy sighed softly, shaking his head. "But Thrax... it's not like we'll still be together then... I mean after death... after that there's nothing for us..." he said softly, slowly looking up at him.

Thrax: *shook his head* I dont care. I am nothing without u, baby. Dont u still understand how much I love u, baby? So much tht I would do anything for u? *stroke the cell's cheek*

"If you'd do anything for me... you'd stay alive for me even though I'm not here..." Ozzy whispered, resting his head on his chest.

Thrax: *stroke the cell's hair* I...I cant promise u, bt I will try...

Twins: *burst in* Tadaima~!! (we're home) We've got the digs~!!

Klepta: Tht was pretty slick. How'd u manage?

Twins: *grins, not giving away anything*

While the other virus' were busy distracted, he leaned up and gave Thrax a soft kiss, his body unconsiously pressing into him.

Edison looked up, now laying down having giving up trying to pry the child off him. "Please... just... take her...." he groaned.

Rodeo: A-ra? Amber-chan attached to u already? I thought she likes Oz to-chan better

Rouge: Sa, if she's so attached we might as well let her be with him to babysit, ne~? Ottoto-chan?

Rodeo: Good idea ne, oni-chan

Thrax: *kissed him bk, whispering "Te queiro, mi bebe" btwn kisses*

Edison bolted to sit up, Amber still attached onto him. "W-wha? No... no way! I did the babysitting years, I ain't doing it again! It was hard then and it's hard now!" he whined out, tugging at the child. "Don't you want Osmosis instead?"

Ozzy flushed, gripping one of those dreadlocks lightly, playing with it as he pressed into the warmth of his body but suddenly pulled away. "I-I can't... I'll get carried away..."

Thrax: *caught a breather frm the kisses* Yeah, I knw. Sides, u got work to do. I promise to reward u if u do well. U ready?

Rodeo: Yada, Oz to-chan needs to do his job right now. Sides, jodan desu ne (we're just kidding). Sa, c'mere, Amber-chan

Amber: *immediately lets go once she heard her mother calling, bt still giggled at Edison's distraught face before cuddling n clinging onto Rodeo*

Ozzy blinked and pouted a little, sighing and nodded slowly as he fixed himself up. "Fine, lets get this over with..."

Twins: *led Oz to the bike tht they managed to rig n handed him the keys* Nice digs eh?

Thrax: Catch, baby *tossed him the bag of tennis equipment*

Ozzy bit his lip, catching the bag as he looked over the bike. "Wow..." he mumbled, pulling the bag onto his back before straddling the bike, shifting his hips, looking rather sexy.

Klepta: Here's for luck *leans to kiss Oz's forehead*

Twin: Bokutachi mo~! (us too) *leans to kiss Oz's cheeks on both side*

Thrax: And me *shoved them all away n kissed him on the lips*

Ozzy blinked in confusion as lips touched his forhead, then his cheeks before his eyes widened as he nearly fell back off the bike as Thrax attacked his lips. "Mmff! Th-Thrax! I said stop it!" he whined, pulling away, a bright flush on his cheeks as he moved to start up the engine.

Thrax: *chuckles as he watched him revved the machine*

Twins: A-ra? U didnt give Oz to-chan a kiss ne, Eddie-chan~?

Klepta: Yeah, he needs luck frm u too

Ozzy blinked and looked up, his cheeks pinked. "U-uh... that's okay, he really doesn't need to..." he mumbled as Edison looked up in surprise.

"Sorry, but he's not my type..." the virus mumbled, crossing his arms over his chest and looking away.

Klepta: Total buzzkill, u knw tht? Well, run along now, doll. Ur late. I think she's already in there

Thrax: U heard the man, Go on *slaps Oz's butt to get him going*

Ozzy sighed and shook his head before yelping out. "O-oi!" he grumbled before he revved up the engine again and zoomed off.

Edison watched as the cell drove off before heading back into the trailer, sighing.

Klepta: Well, its all up to him now

Twins: Hai, hai~!

Thrax: *prayed silently tht he would succeed*

Edison moved back to his laptop. "... If you're worried about him, you can watch him, I hacked the security system so we can keep an eye on him..."

Klepta: Tht would be a pretty good idea. Thanks, Eddie

Thrax: *didnt say it, bt his face showed he was grateful*
