I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 155

*soon the long dread month has passed. Aftr exhausting probably a few dozens of bodies to supply as Rodeo's food, Rodeo seemed to hv calmed dwn n no longer making reli creepy noises. It was abt time to let Rodeo out*

Klepta: *took out the keys* Keep ur distance, guys. I'm gonna open up now *unlocked the door*

Thrax: *held Oz close, keeping him a distance frm the door*

Rouge: *watched nervously comforting the still fussy Amber as she was teething her nxt tooth*

Edison stood by the other side of the door, arms crossed and ready just in case.

Ozzy pushed Thrax's hands off him, pouting, watching in wonder, wondering if the virus really was over his phase.

Klepta: Rodeo? I'm gonna let u out now. U OK there?

*there was no response*

Klepta: *went inside* I'm coming in. U decent there?

Edison followed behind him to make sure his brother would be okay, looking around in the dark, frowning.

Klepta: Rodeo? *flipped on the lights n adjusted it to a dim light so as not to hurt Rodeo's eyes frm all the lack of light exposure* Rodeo, u OK?

Rodeo: *didnt respond, was at a corner looking like he was high on drugs or something, bt thankfully he was no longer being the ravenous monster as before*

"Ist he hokay?" Edison said from behind Klepta, looking over at the mess that was the pregnant virus in the corner.

Klepta: *chked his vitals* He seems OK. Lets take him out first *carries Rodeo, propping one of his arms* Help me out, Eddie

Edison nodded and walked over, grabbing the virus' free arm and wrapping it around his neck, holding him up against him and walking out with Rodeo and Klepta.

Rouge: *sees them coming out* Ah! Karera ga dete kite iru! (they're coming out) *sees Rodeo in a stupor* Ro...Rodeo-chan!! Daijobu ka??

Amber: *sees Rodeo* M...Mama...! *whimpers*

Rodeo: *didnt reli respond, just looked up n smiled at them* Ohayo...

"He stil needs time to kome 'round..." Edison said, taking the virus off to his room so he could lay down somewhere comfortably.

Klepta: No, take him to the bathroom. He needs a decent wash. I'm gonna make him something soft n decent to eat to let him get used bk to normal food. U wash him, Eddie, n hv Oz help u

Edison paused and blinked before he nodded and helped him off to the bathroom, Ozzy looking confused but he followed after him.

Rodeo: *still a little out of it, just smiling like he was reli high on drugs*

Edison sighed and sat the virus down on the toilet seat before he moved to start up the bath.

Rodeo: *slumped on his seat, saw Ozzie in front of him n giggled* Ah, Oz-to chan~!

Ozzy blinked and smiled back at him, moving over to him and stroking his hair. "You seem happy..."

Rodeo: *just laughed weakly then slumped against Ozzie's shoulder* Oz to-chan~!

Ozzy smiled a little and held him close, sighing softly. "Poor thing..."

Rodeo: *sees the bath tht Edison made was almost ready n giggled, playing with the water, splashing it at Edison*

Edison gasped and flailed around a little, wiping his face. "Oi!" he groaned and huffed, turning the water off.

Rodeo: *giggled then went bk to staring in space with tht odd small smile of his*

Ozzy sniggered and shook his head before helping Rodeo off with his clothes.

Rodeo: Oz to-chan~ *giggled as he allowed himself to be undressed* Dame da yo~ My body belongs to Rouge-chan ne~ *was speaking in a slur*

Ozzy blinked in surprise and flushed some, shaking his head. "Don't worry, I know this..." he mumbled, folding his shirt up before he moved his hands down, undoing the virus' pants.

Rodeo: Nya~! Dame da, dame~ *batted at Oz's head, bt wasnt reli tht hard, n it looked almost funny evn to the serious Edison*

Edison covered his mouth to stiffle a laugh as he watched Ozzy trying to undress their brother. "Ack, Rodeo... stop it, I ain't gunna do anything!" the cell groaned as he popped open the button and unzipped those pants, tugging them down.

Rodeo: Iya~ Dame, dame, dame~ *was wriggling to stop Oz frm taking his pants off bt it came off anyway* Moh~ I'm telling Rouge-chan u trying to rape me~ Nyeh~! *stuck his tongue out at him*

"W-wha? I am not trying to rape you!" Ozzy groaned out and shook his head, folding the pants before moving to the virus' underwear, tugging them off too as Edison moved out the way.

Rodeo: Dame, dame, I'm telling Rouge-chan *tries to move bt his body is too lethargic to evn support his weight as he fell headfirst facedwn onto the floor, then started whining with a sob* Itaii~

Ozzy sighed and shook his head, moving to help Rodeo up and rubbed his head. "Shush... come on, lets get you in the bath already..." he mumbled before he attempted to lift the virus up, grunting a little before he gasped when Rodeo was suddenly lifted by Edison. He may of been short like Ozzy, but he was definately strong. And with that, Edison sat Rodeo in the bath.

Rodeo: *gasped n giggled wen Edison picked him up* My hero~ *got in the water n looked at it like he had nvr seen water before* A-ra? Mizu deska? (is it water) Honto ni ne~ (it reli is) *plays with the water, splashing it at Edison n Oz*

Edison rolled his eyes a little before he gasped, covering his face as water hit him. "A-ah, oi! Keep it in dot bath!" he huffed, moving back as Ozzy shook his head and moved closer in an attempt to wash the virus.

Rodeo: *throughout the entire washing he occasionally splashed at either Oz or Edison, bt other than tht he was just giggling away n letting them scrub him frm head to toe of all the grime n dirt collected in a mth, making the water quite grim n had to be drained n refilled twice. He would also occasionally caress his baby bump, which had finally started to show, whispering "Kodomo-chan" quietly*

By the time they had finally washed him up, both Edison and Ozzy seemed more wet than the virus in the tub. "Thank Frank that's over..." Ozzy mumbled as he drained the water and got a towel while Edison helped Rodeo out of the bath.

Rodeo: *giggled* Ame desho ka? (did it rain) U guys look so~ wet! Hehehe~ *giggled again as he leaned against Edison's shoulder*

Edison sighed and wrapped the towel around the taller virus before helping him out of the bathroom.

Klepta: *came to chk on them* All done? Here, give him this yukata to wear *passes it to Oz* Rouge bought it specifically for him just now. U can throw those dirty clothes away, its abt condemned aftr a mth's worth of all the gruesome sentiments

Rodeo: Ah? Klepta nii-sama~! Haha~ Ne, I dont remember u being thiiiiiiiiiiiiiis tall~? *laughs*

Edison looked up at Klepta, a look of desperation to get away on his face as Ozzy nodded and quickly got Rodeo dressed.

Klepta: *noticed tht look n shook his head* Uh-uh. Ur gonna tuck Rodeo in n watch him. We're making something nice n soft for him right now to eat so u two stay put with him

Edison's mouth fell open before his eyes narrowed at him with a huff. Oh, he'd get him back for this! Grumbling, he walked off with Rodeo, leading him to the bedroom, Ozzy following behind.

Rodeo: Nanda, nanda~? Why u so mad, Eddie-chan? Oni-sama not giving u enough loving? *giggled n snorted*

Edison huffed as his face began to heat up, grumbling at the virus. "Shut up..." he mumbled, pulling him into the bedroom and moving to the bed, laying the laughing virus down as his cheeks pinked. It would be Klepta that wouldn't be getting any loving now!

Rouge: *came in a few moments later with a bowl of cabbage n carrots soup* Rodeo-chan? Daijobu ka?

Rodeo: Rouge-chan~! *outstretched his arms in a perpetually high, giddy manner*

"Kan Hy go now?" Edison asked when Rogue came in, sulking as he leaned against the wall.

Rouge: Hai hai, u can go now. I'll tend to him. Oz to-chan, be a dear n bring Amber n Wolf here for us, ne? Onegai shimasu?

Ozzy nodded and smiled. "Of course!" he said before walking out with Edison. The sulky virus went off to his room while Ozzy did as he was asked.

*Amber n Wolf soon joined in with Rouge n Rodeo n was one happy family again, while Thrax n Klepta decided to clean out the basement, ridding it of the corpse residue n the smell*

Ozzy decided to leave them be, heading off to do his own thing.
