I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 171

*evryone slept thru the night peacefully, n by nxt morning the cell was fully rested n refreshed, bt somehow Thrax had nvr returned to bed since he went to the bathroom*

Ozzy shuffled around and groaned, rubbing his eyes and rolling over, trapped between Nessie and Chico. "Nnn... huh?"

Chico: *stirred a bit as well as she couldnt feel her Daddy's warmth. Usually she was sandwiched btwn her Mommy n Daddy while her canine brother would be sleeping on either Mommy or Daddy's side. She mewled worriedly*

Ozzy blinked and rubbed his eye, sitting up slowly with a frown. "You two seen Thrax?" he asked, looking around confused.

Chico: *mewled a sad no*

Nessie: *sniffed abt n followed the scent trail to the bathroom, whining n scraping at the door*

Ozzy blinked a few times, slowly climbing out of bed and limping to the bathroom, his body aching a little from the stress before he pushed open the door for Ness.

Thrax: *a deep gruff voice tht sounded almost like Thrax's mixed with someone else, like a dual voice, quickly growled* Don't! Don't come in!

Ozzy jumped slightly, frowning sleepily before he ignored the warning and poked his head in. "Thrax, why didn't you come to bed...?"

Thrax: *his breath was heaving n some sort of steam was emitting in small amts* S...Stay...Stay away...

Ozzy blinked in surprise, his eyes widening a little. "Thrax! Are you okay?!" he asked, gasping and stepping forward, his mouth falling open.

Thrax: *was in the tub of water fully naked, bt the steam was not coming frm the tub; the water looked like it was freezing. It was coming frm his body, coming out like something was in soft boil, n he was breathing heavily as hell, hugging himself as if to hold something inside bk*

"Oh Thrax!" Ozzy called out and rushed over, able to feel the heat coming from him when he knelt by the tub. "Are you okay? Are you sick?" he asked, reaching out to touch his forehead, hissing and pulling back. "Ah~"

Thrax: D...Dont...Dont touch me...Dont...go near me...Pls...Or I...wont be able to...control myself...

"Thrax, please... tell me what's wrong?" Ozzy asked, hands resting on the side of the tub, watching him worriedly.

Thrax: *doesnt say anymore as he looked away, biting his lip until it was in the verge of bleeding as he hugged himself evn tighter*

Chico: *at upon seeing her Daddy like this, she went to the only person she knew how: Rouge, her first Daddy, scraping at the door, in which Amber had crawled ovr to answer the door*

"Thrax, stop that!" Ozzy insisted, reaching out to pry open the virus' mouth, frowning. "You're going to hurt yourself!"

Thrax: *growled as he flicnh away frm him*

Rouge: *came out of the room n followed behind Chico who led him to their room* Nanda, nanda? Doushita ne, Oz to-chan?

Ozzy looked up, biting his lip. "Ah, Rouge... there's something wrong with Thrax!" he said, frowning a little.

Rouge: *set Oz aside as he felt his forehead n sniffed him* Ara-ra, Kore wa yoi sa rete inai (this is not good)

Ozzy blinked, looking confused. "What? What's wrong?!"

Rouge: Sa, Thrax wa atsu-sa (Thrax is in heat). A good sign for us viruses, bt I'm not sure if its a good sign for u ne, Oz to-chan

Thrax: *shutting his eyes tightly, embarrassed to be found like this n trying to hold bk his urge to just pounce on Oz n shag him silly*

Ozzy blinked a few times, trying to work out what he said, before his eyes widened a little. "I-in heat? You mean like... oh Frank..." he mumbled, stepping back and gulping some. "N-no way! I... he can't be! Not now!"

Rouge: Yes now. I'm surprised it didnt come any sooner ne. We usually hv heat thrice a yr, twice will be subtle, bt one which will be pretty big n noticable. This one is the breeding kind of heat, like wht Eddie-chan is hving as well. I can smell him frm a mile away

Ozzy gulped and blushed deeply. "Yeah, I think I heard Eddie..." he mumbled softly, rubbing the back of his neck. "B-breeding... um... but that'd me he'd try to... impregnate me... oh Frank..."

Rouge: Sa, would u rather we put him in the basement this time? There's a basement dwnstairs in this mansion, ne, or maybe the broom closet under the stairs

Ozzy bit his lip, shuffling around. "That's a bit unfair since he ain't trying to eat us... but maybe... lock him in this room? I'll move to another room for now..."

Rouge: Hai, u OK with tht, ottoto-chan?

Thrax: *nods as he controlled his breathing*

Ozzy nodded and smiled at him before picking up the virus' clothes. "Maybe you should get out and get dressed, eh? I'll go get you something to eat."

Thrax: *didnt reply, n didnt move frm his spot anyway*

Rouge: Sa, ikimasho, Chico-chan, Nessie-chan, Daddy-san needs some dwntime

Nessie let out a whine before he turned and trotted out, Chico following after him.

Ozzy sighed and set the clothes down on the closed toilet seat before he moved closer, helping Thrax out from the bath. "Come on..."

Thrax: *flinched at his touch n refused to budge*

Rouge: U might not wanna handle there, ne, Oz to-chan, unless u wanna be impregnated by him. Let him be, he needs to cool off anyway *takes Oz's hand* Sa, ikuzo

Ozzy sighed before he looked at Thrax, biting his lip before he walked out, frowning a little. "How long is he going to be like this?"

Rouge: Depends. He's special, off frm our strain so who knws how long. Our average breeding heat will last for abt a week

"A week!?" Ozzy groaned as he left the bedroom, sighing and rubbing his head. "Jeez... I've got to be alert for a damned week..."

Rouge: Sa, shikatanaiwa (cant help it). Ur just gonna hv to bear with it

Ozzy sighed before heading downstairs, his nose twitching a little. "... Something tells me Eddie is downstairs..."

Rouge: *peeked dwn frm the stair railings to see if he was there*

Ozz peeked as well, looking around before spotting the kitchen light on. "... Oh great... he must be in there..."

Rouge: Wonder wht he's doing there ne? I'm gonna chk on Rodeo-chan *handed the kitten to Oz n left*

Ozzy blinked in surprise. "Wh-wha? But... uh..." he mumbled before he sighed, looking back to the kitchen before slowly making his way down there.
