I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 129

Thrax: *served some for both Edison n Klepta*

Edison blinked a few times, looking at the pancakes and licked his lips, instantly grabbing the syrup and pouring it over them. He may of been a nerd, a serious nerd, but Frank did he love sugar.

Ozzy blinked a few times, staring at Edison as he drowned his food in the sugary liquid.

Thrax: *rolled his eyes n shook his head* I wonder where is all the sugary n fat gone to. Thankfully ur not human, or u'd be dating diabetes right now

Rouge: *laughed as he finished his breakfast, chugging dwn a cup of coffee*

Klepta: Tht's my little bro *ruffled Edison's hair n took his share of breakfast*

"Di'be'fes?" Edison said around a mouth full of sugar pancake, chewing before swallowing hard. "Mm~ Hy tink Hy met vun in a body vunce... he alvays gaff me alot uf sugary schtuff... Hy don' know how he knev Hy liked de schtuff..." he said with a shrug, stuffing his mouth with more pancake.

Rouge: Moh, Diabetes sickness knw by instinct a person who likes sugary stuff. Its like they can smell them. Maybe u reek of candy *laughs*

Edison blinked a few times before he sniffed at himself before shrugging a little. "Hy don' schmell schveet... ach... but atleast dis means Hy hef friend vith Diabetes... right? Vell, dat sickness seemed to like me." he said, licking the syrup off the plate.

Thrax: Maybe, bt then Diabetes r not known to make friends, more like known to EAT friends. Dang, Eddie, ur smart, bt u aint too bright, aint ya?

Edison blinked, peeking over his plate, his tongue hanging out. "... Va? Eat...?" he mumbled as his eyes slowly widened, licking his sugary lips. "Vhy vould he... do dat?"

Thrax: Diabetes r cannibals. They eat other ppl to survive. They induce ppl to eat sweets bt they ironically cant eat the sweets bcoz they're born with weak taste buds. The only thing tht they can taste r ppl whose body hv absorbed the sweet treats they eat. They lure them eat more n more sweet stuff until they totally reek with sugar before killing them n eating them, n aftr eating they will secrete an entity tht causes insulin deficiency. Tht's their main powers as a diabetic, to increase blood sugar n ruin insulin

Klepta: Man, ur lucky u didnt get eaten then *leaned close to Edison who looked like he just heard a ghost story*

Edison's eyes widened as he dropped the plate on the table, his mouth hanging open. He... he was going to get eaten?! He gulped hard, biting his lip. He was glad he left the body when he did! He had already been given so much candy and sweet stuff, it was only a matter of time before he would of lured him away. "ACH!" he cried out before he tried to scramble over Klepta's lap.

Rouge: *laughed out loud* U r such a baby, ne, Eddie-chan~!

Klepta: *chuckles as he held Edison close* S'ok, u did the smart thing to not go close to him. No Diabetes is gonna get my little bruder *nuzzled him*

Edison whimpered and trembled, his lowly lip trembling as he ended up sat on Klepta's lap. "N-nein! Dat's not... not fair! Hy... Hy... like my candy... Hy... Hy can' eat it anymore..."

Klepta: Yes, u can. U eat as much as u want. Just so long as the human doesnt go stuffing himself with sugar everyday, the Diabetes wont show up. 'Sides. we're in cat city, remember?

Amber: *finished her milk n now was poking at the leftovr pancakes on the table, getting syrup all ovr her hands*

"C-cats... cats can get, too!" Edison trembled, his eyes widening a little more, clinging onto his brother.

Ozzy blinked before groaning. "Hey, Amber... don't do that, you'll get sticky~" he said, pulling her hand away.

Klepta: No, they wont, silly. Not by a long shot, n not usually on strays either, dont worry

Amber: *giggled*

Rouge: Moh~! Amber-chan, naughty ne~! *picked her up n sat her on his lap, wiping her hands clean* Its a shame Majah didnt want her. He would've loved her if he tried

Edison shook a little, his eyes wide, the sugar seeming to effect him with the scary story.

Ozzy blinked before he frowned some. "He doesn't deserve to have such a cute little girl... He might of turned her bad..."

Thrax: I dunno. He claims to be working for Big Mama under duress. Remember the day he came to surprise visit us at our outhouse room, baby? I may not trust him still, bt he seemed less than willing to be under Big Mama's rule of thumb

Rouge: Yada. I dont care if he's sorry or whtevr! He's not taking Amber frm us *hugged Amber possessively, a dangerous glint of a protective father in his eyes*

"Oh yeah... he did seem truely sorry for what he did. Even though it did hurt..." Ozzy grumbled, absently rubbing the large scar over his shirt, sighing. "Maybe Big Mama really is forcing him to do this stuff?" he said before looking to Rouge and smiling some. "Don't worry, I really doubt he'd come for her..."

Thrax: Tht'll has yet to be determined, bt at the moment we should focus on getting our sisters bk. Tht's the most important

Rouge: Hai hai, Lava n Lavi-chan is our priority right now *bounced the little girl on his lap*

Ozzy nodded slowly and sighed, watching the little girl giggling and smiled some. "Whatever he wants... he won't be getting it from us... especially not her..." he said before he blinked in surprise when Edison suddenly got up and ran off, muttering something about not wanting to smell of sweets.

Klepta: *rolled his eyes n decided to let him be to work off his sugar-high as he continued to finish his breakfast, sipping his coffee*

"... Thrax, I think you really spooked Eddie." Ozzy said, hitting him in the arm before finishing off his breakfast, sipping at his coffee.

Thrax: *barely felt the hit* Hey I was only telling him the truth. I would've expect a nerdy geek like him to knw all this stuff

"He maybe smart with the tech stuff, but I don't think he's street smart..." Ozzy huffed at him, hitting his arm again for good measure.

Thrax: *barely felt tht hit either, being thick-skinned n all as he sipped his coffee* So how far dwn r we now, Klep? We're reaching close to our destination yet?

Ozzy grumbled and him and glared when his attack was ignored. Huffing, he got up and took his plate to the skin. Oh, he could get him another way! "We should be nearly there now... right?"

Klepta: *thought bk a bit* I ain't too sure, reli, coz frm wht I remember frm the memory u gave me, doll, we should be closer towards the far south. Problem is we just dunno which breed of cat they might be now. I just knw south, bt Big Mama could be anywhere by now while we're searching for the right cat. She might not evn be in cat city anymore

Ozzy blinked before he sighed, cleaning off his plate. "Yeah, she could be anywhere by now... Unless I can find something or somewhere she's been, I won't know where she's gone..."

Rouge: Sa, we'll get her sooner or later. I'm hoping to be sooner desu ne *played with Amber's toes*

Thrax: The sooner the better. I want her outta my hair ASAP so we can finally be at ease

Ozzy sighed softly, still having an uneasy feeling about all this. Were they even strong enough to get rid of her? Wouldn't she have protection? Groaning, he rubbed his head as sat back. "Nnn... maybe we'll find a clue to where she is, soon..."

Klepta: Yeah, I suppose so. I'm reli looking forward to see Lavinia n Lavatnia again. They were such angels the last time I saw them. The Sleeping Sickness family raised them well, bt they can be such beauty drama queens with their English accents *chuckles*

Rouge: Demo they reli are bijiin ne~! (beautiful)

Ozzy blinked and looked back and forth between them. "Are they? I didn't get to look at them properly when I had that vision thingy..." he said, rubbing the back of his neck with a light grin.

Rouge: Ne~! Rodeo-chan remembers them most, since he's the one who personally sent them to the foster family. U can ask him to show u if u want

Ozzy blinked and looked up, pouting a little. "Maybe when he's feeling a little better, yeah? Cause I know me reading people takes alot out of them."

Rouge: *chked him* He's sleeping right now, I think its fine to read him just a little bit

Thrax: Yeah, shouldnt hurt tht bad if he's sleeping. Just put ur hand on his forehead or something *cleaned up the rest of the dishes*

Ozzy blinked before biting his lip, nodding slowly before he made his way to the bedroom, creeping in and looking around, pulling the curtain back slightly from Rodeo's bed.

Rodeo: *was snoozing, finally calmed dwn a little frm his nausea aftr his puking ordeal n aftr Rouge fed him some apple juice to settle his stomach, his hands curled ard his belly protectively*

Ozzy smiled softly at him, brushing his hair out of his face before he slowly reached out, resting his hand on his forehead and closing his eyes, concentrating.

*the images slowly flowed into him naturally as he willed it to, thanks to an abundance of training. It soon revealed the day Rouge n Rodeo had one of their lucky moments to meet Lavinia n Lavatnia. They were roughly in their pre-teens, n they had long platinum blonde hair tht reached all the way dwn to their calves, n their skin were light blue, like a blue sky added with milk (if tht were possible), bt their eyes were strikingly jade-green, illuminating their beauty vry much, n their accent was reli vry English, n a bit of a drama queen, bt mostly beauty queens*

Ozzy's eyes snapped open wide, flushing as he pulled his hand away. They... really were beautiful! "Wow..." he whispered to himself, his blush growing on his face. They only looked young then, they would of matured by now. "... Oh Frank..." he whispered, holding his nose as he blushed more.

Rouge: Nani, nani? Doushita? Did u see something bad?

Thrax: Wht did u see, baby?

Ozzy looked up in surprise, blushing more and coughing. "A-ah, no, no, nothing bad... I saw them. They... they're alright I guess." he said, though his voice was a little higher, sounding like a little teen that had just seen a gorgeous woman.

Thrax: *raised a brow, recognizes tht tone, then huffed n walked off*

Rouge: A-ra? Doushita, ottoto-chan? Thrax~? *his calls were ignored*

Ozzy blinked in surprise when Thrax stormed off. "H-hey, Thrax!" he called out in that broken tone before he cleared his throat, rushing after Thrax. "Thrax!" he called out when he got his voice back.

Thrax: *ignored him as he finished drying the dishes n went out of the van*
