I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 143

Klepta: *soon got dressed himself n helped Edison up before making their way to the dining room, in which their take out was already prepared n reheated, set on the table for them*

Thrax: Ah, finally you're here. Go on, food's getting cold

Edison stumbled a little and moved to sit down, digging into the food hungrily, seeming like he hadn't eaten in days.

Rouge: *worried abt Rodeo who was still under the basement* U sure we shouldnt give him something to eat?

Klepta: Oh he'll eat, just not these. Its not enough for him

Edison nodded absently in agreement to the talking, stuffing his face more. It wasn't sugary, but it'd do for now, he'd have to find some later.

Nessie was currently curled around Amber, nuzzling her and licking her cheek to keep her calm.

Klepta: *turns to Thrax* Thrax, ur gonna hv to help me get Rodeo's meal later on

Thrax: Wha? Me? Why not Rouge? He's his lover

Klepta: Bcoz ur the one with the stronger stomach *said it as a matter-of-fact way, not wanting to elaborate further*

Ozzy looked up with a confused face, frowning a little at those words. "... Strong stomach?" he mumbled, wondering what kind of food they could possibly be giving him.

Thrax: *rolled his eyes* Fine. I'll go. Lets just hope ur not asknig me to haul a whole herd of cattle or something

Klepta: *didnt respond to tht remark, bt his face showed tht it was something more than tht, n evn his lover could tell tht look*

Edison looked up from his food, licking his lips slowly as he watched his older brother, frowning at the look before he reached out, placing his hand on his arm in a silent comfort.

Klepta: *felt the touch n smiled reassuringly at him*

Rouge: *didnt reli pay attention to all the facial expressions n talks going on abt him; his mind was preoccupied with the thoughts of Rodeo inside there, far apart frm him. He felt so near, yet so far. He nvr separated frm his brother/mate before, not to this extent, n it was like he was missing a piece of himself already*

"Hyu'll be fine..." Edison whispered to him before he moved the food closer to his brother, picking some up on his fork and attempting to feed him.

Ozzy moved over to Rouge, placing his hands on his shoulders. "Hey, come on now... he's going to be okay... you need to eat now..."

Klepta: *was not going to let this public display of affection go to waste as he opened his mouth to let Edison feed him*

Rouge: Wa...Wakata yo... (i knw tht) De...Demo...Rodeo-chan...I worry abt him...We've nvr been apart before....It feels...wrong

Edison gave a small smile, he did find any public display of affection uncomfortable, but he could see his brother was upset right now, he wanted to help as best he could.

Ozzy slowly led the virus over to the food so he could try to eat something. "It's understandable... I hear twins are very close, more than siblings or lovers... they have... an odd connection, right?" he said, smiling at him.

Rouge: *nods as he tried to eat some* Hai, we're vry close since birth. No one could separate us. We were together like peas n carrots. We're futago (twins), futago stick together thicker than blood. But now... *sighs*

Klepta: *smiled n ate out of Edison's hand before he leans forward to sneak a kiss on his lips, letting him taste the food as well*

"It's okay... one month and he'll be out of there, it'll fly by, trust me. Plus, you can still talk through the door..." Ozzy told him softly, rubbing his back gently, oddly getting more and more caring with the viruses.

Edison's eyes widened at the sudden kiss, quickly covering his mouth with one hand, whining out at him. "O-oi!" he huffed, muffled by his hand.

Rouge: Yeah, tht is if he's not angry at me...Moh~! *ruffled his hair n banged his forehead on the table* This is so frustrating~!

Amber: *feels her father's distress n started whimpering*

Klepta: *licked his lips n grinned deviously* Mmm, the most tasty dish I hv so far *removes tht hand n kissed him some more, suckling gently at the virus' tongue*

Thrax: *rolled his eyes; he may be one for public display of affection, bt evn he knew Klepta was a little ovrdoing it*

"Hey now..." Ozzy mumbled, rubbing his back again and sighing softly, feeling bad for the virus. "He's not angry at you, he may not act like it... but I'm sure he understands this is nessicary..."

Nessie made a small noise, curling his tail around the little girl, nuzzling her gently.

Edison flushed deeply and glared up at him, his lips parting to argue with him before he gasped out as he felt his brother suckling his tongue, making him accidently let out a whimper.

Wolf: *had enough n yapped at his father before nipping at his foot n hauled Amber ovr his bk n dashed off into the room where Rouge slept, determined to be the one to comfort his little mistress*

Klepta: *suckled at the tongue some more before letting go n licked his lips* Gtg get dinner for our pregnant brother now. *gave one last peck before getting up* We'll be bk, bt dont wait up. C'mon, Thrax *jerked his head, gesturing him to leave*

Thrax: *got up n gave a peck in the same fashion to Oz n left with his eldest bro*

Nessie only huffed lightly at the pup before he got up himself and stretched out before moving to go sit with his own master.

Edison whined at his brother, pushing him away from the affections before he went back to his food, grumbling to himself.

Chico: *purred n made a leap to curl up on Oz's lap, purring for a stroke*

Rouge: *didnt finish his food n left the table to go to his room to accompany Amber*

Ozzy watched Rouge with sad eyes, sighing softly before looking down at the kitten and smiling softly before he began to pet her.
