I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 183

"I think he may need a shower when he ways up." Ozzy said, cuddling back up to Klepta.

Klepta: Hmm? Why do u say tht, doll?

"Well, he did just spill his drink over himself... and the chair." Ozzy said, grumbling a little at the mess.

Klepta: *chuckles* I'm sure Rouge will knw wht to do with him there. Dont worry. *cuddled him close* Ur exceptionally clingy today

"I don't know what's wrong... I just... need a cuddle I guess." Ozzy mumbled, resting his head against him.

Klepta: U miss Thrax giving u the cuddles, dontcha? Oh, I can tell frm ur face the moment u came dwn to breakfast n see us, like something or someone is missing

"I get annoyed with him when he does it all the time... but at night... it's actually nice to have someone there, ya'know?" Ozzy said with a soft sigh.

Klepta: I hear ya *grins* Pretty much a literal "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" thing, eh? *caressed Oz's head as he cuddled*

Ozzy huffed and sighed, closing his eyes. "Stupid Thrax for going in heat... after this he will be put on a ban..." he grumbled softly, blushing a little.

Klepta: I doubt the ban is evn gonna work. U knw how he is there wen it comes to worming his way under ur pants *laughs a little*

Ozzy huffed a little. "It will work! I'll make sure of it!" he grumbled, not wanting Thrax to have his own way again.

Klepta: I beg to differ, bt whtevr makes u happy *grins at him deviously as he gave him a gentle noogie*

Ozzy grunted at the attack, flushing and grumbling as he swatted at his hands. "Don't make me hurt you!" he warned, a mischivious look in his eyes.

Klepta: Oh, not before I "hurt" u first *pushed Oz dwn n started giving him a tickle-attack*

Ozzy gasped out, his eyes widening as he kicked out at him, laughing. "D-don't make me do it!"

Klepta: *ignored him as he tickled him some more, laughing along with him*

Ozzy laughed louder but managed to grab his wrists. "Y-you asked for it!" he managed to get out before his eyes seemed to glow and Klepta was pushed back off him.

Klepta: *was thrown bk n hit against the kitchen counter, sustaining a cut onto his forehead* Ouch~! Geez, doll, where's ur sense of humour?

Ozzy quickly sat up and panted, his eyes widening before he quickly rushed over to nurse the cut he saw. "Ah jeez... I still can't control it... I was just trying to lift you off..."

Klepta: *rubbed his head* Man, I think u almost gave me a concussion too. U reli oughta train more, doll

"Sorry, Klep..." Ozzy said before kissing his forehead near the cut. "I promise, today I will!"

Klepta: Good. U n Edison r the ones tht need training the most. Lets hope tht once the new baby is born, Rodeo would be fit n ready to fight

Ozzy nodded and helped him to his feet. "Yeah, he can train with me and Eddie!"

Klepta: I look forward to see tht. Thrax n I would need some training too as with Rouge

"Pfft, bring it. I could kick both your asses!" Ozzy teased him, grinning up at him.

Klepta: *chuckles* We'll see abt tht *kissed his forehead* So, help me clear the dishes?

Ozzy huffed and stuck his tongue out at him before moving back over to the table, starting to pick up the dishes.

Klepta: *followed after as well, gathering all the pots n bowls into the sink n putting away all the sauce bottles*

Ozzy began filling the sink with water, adding a bit of soap to make it easier to clean.

Klepta: Clean them up good, doll, n I'll dry them

Ozzy nodded and smiled at him before going about his work washing those dishes.

Klepta: *took the dishes tht were already washed n cleaned to be dried* So, any plans to be officially be my brother-in-law? *chuckles*

Ozzy nearly dropped a plate at the question, blushing deeply before he looked up at Klepta with wide eyes. "W-wha...?"

Klepta: U heard me. Any plans to officially settle dwn with Thrax n be his lawful wedded mate?

"I... uh... well..." Ozzy mumbled as he shuffled around, feeling his heart beat increasing a little.

Klepta: Why so shy? U can tell me. I'm sure Thrax has discussed this issue with u. U guys hv been together for almost coming 2 yrs now

Ozzy b;ished deeply and shuffled around, chewing on his lip. "Yeah... I know... I just... it's scary..."

Klepta: Scary? Why? Settling dwn scares u? Ur not ready for commitment?

"I've... never really been the commitment kinda guy, you know?" Ozzy mumbled, scrubing one plate extra hard.

Klepta: Ur gonna wear a hole on tht plate *took it n rinsed it* U'll think different once u do settle dwn. U said it urself tht u rather if Thrax not going ard killing. If tht is the case then u guys will hv to settle dwn n be committed to each other. Thrax is willing if u ask. Wat of u?

Ozzy blinked and glanced up at him, chewing on his lip a little. "I... uh... well..." he mumbled before sighing a little. "I guess we'll see..."

Klepta: *smiled n kissed his forehead* U'll figure it out soon enough. I knw u n Thrax will make the right decision for each other

Ozzy blinked and flushed a little, shuffling around. "Even if we didn't... you guys would still be my family, right?"

Klepta: *smiled* Of course we will. We'll always see u as our little brother. Dont worry. *kissed his cheek* We love u like our own. Trust me on tht

Ozzy looked up at him, not caring his hands were wet as he suddenly hugged him, holding him tight to him, nuzzling his torso.

Klepta: *surprised at the hug at first, then chuckles quietly n hugged him bk* There, there. I knw we dont knw u long enough to knw evrything abt u, bt we knw now tht our family is incomplete without u. Wen ur ready, u can tell us abt ur past, bt for now, knw tht we love u, no matter wht *rubbed his bk*

Ozzy felt tears budding in the corner of his eyes, clinging onto him even more. He wasn't saddened by ths, he was overjoyed! His first proper family.

Klepta: *rubbed his bk n caressed his head, holding him close, purring to comfort him*

Ozzy clossed his eyes, sniffing a little as he relaxed. "Thank's Klep..."

Klepta: Anytime, doll *kissed his forehead n smiled dwn at him*

Ozzy smiled up at him slightly, shuffling around. "I... guess I should go train then..."

Klepta: I can spar with u if u want *drying n putting the last dishes away*

"Sure! That's if you can take me~" Ozzy teased him, grinning.

Klepta: *chuckles* Bring it on, doll
