I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 196

Klepta: *had just finished fixing the van n came bk into the room he shared with Edison n made his way to the bathroom to shower*

Edison was still curled up in bed, a hand resting on his stomach as he slept lightly, still able to hear what was going on around him.

Klepta: *showered off the dirt n gunk for abt an hour aftr his van-fixing, then came out n saw a small movement frm Edison* Eddie? U still awake?

Edison's ear gave a twitch, hearing the other before he frowned a little. "Mmm, vat ist it?"

Klepta: Naw, sorry, mein bruder. I was afraid I might woken u or anything, coz ur fidgeted a little

"Nein... Hy vas chust resting..." Edison mumbled, though he kept his eyes closed, not moving from his comfortable position.

Klepta: *finished drying his body bt kept the towel ard his hair to towel-dry it, then took the map Majah gave them n sat on the bed nxt to Edison to study it*

"How ist van?" Edison mumbled at him, still not moving from his position.

Klepta: *reached his free hand to stroke Edison's hair as he continued studying it* The van's good. A couple of snags here n there, bt I managed to fix it, n got rid of the wear n tear frm our previous journeys

Edison nodded slowly, relaxing under the touch. "Hy glad... ve leave tomorrow, ja?" he mumbled, giving up on trying to speak English properly, it was too hard to remember.

Klepta: Yup, we're leaving tomorrow. Bt if ur still not feeling well, its OK. U dont hv to do the heavy lifting. Which reminds me, u still under the weather? *didnt mind tht Edison was speaking bad English; he understood him wen he spoke German just fine*

"Ja, ja..." Edison mumbled, curling up a little tighter. "Udder weather." he continued quietly, rubbing at his face a little before he relaxed again.

Klepta: Wat is it ur hving, reli? Flu? Stomach bug? Or something else? *continues to stroke his hair as he finished studying the map*

"Uh..." Edison tensed up at that. "Chust... not feel so gud, a little sickly and... tired." he mumbled, curling up a little tighter. "Hy be fine."

Klepta: Alright. If ur sure tho *puts away the map n lay dwn the bed, spooning Edison, hugging him close* I just worry abt u

"Hy am..." Edison mumbled, blinking as Klepta curled around him, nodding slowly. "Hy be fine..."

Klepta: *kissed the nape of Edison's neck* Ich liebe dich, mein bruder (I love u, my brother)

"Ich liebe dich..." Edison mumbled back, one of his hands resting on Klepta's, rubbing and stroking at it.

Klepta: *smiled* I hope this nightmare btwn us n Big Mama will be ovr, so tht we can be together finally

"Ja... ja... Hy hope so, Hy vant to stop fighting." Edison mumbled, closing his eyes once again.

Klepta: Me too. I'm so tired of fighting n running now. Lets just hope it'll be ovr soon *sighed n closed his eyes, slowly drifting*

"Ja... then Hy go back to computers." Edison said with a small chuckle, nuzzling into the pillow.

Klepta: *chuckles a little n poked gently on Edison's side at his comment before falling asleep*

Edison grunted at him before soon falling asleep himself.
