I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 199

Klepta: *was lying dwn on the dining sofa to get his shut eye wen he heard Edison's footsteps, n opened his eyes* Eddie? U alright?

Edison looked up, a piece of bread hanging out of his mouth as he gave a little nod to him. He turned, going back to getting himself something to eat.

Klepta: U seem to be pretty hungry, I thought u had a pretty big breakfast this morning *sat up with a concerned look on his face*

"Eh? Ah... yes, Hy, uh... Hy guess Hy'm chust... very hungry." Edison said, his English seeming more broken than usual as he piled up a plate of food.

Klepta: U can still speak German to me, u knw *noticed the broken English bt kept quiet abt tht* U want me to get u some more food?

Edison looked up at him, nodding to him, looking around for some more food. He was feeling so hungry, he just wanted to eat. Maybe something... sugary?

Klepta: *could tell tht he wanted something sugary n took his hand* C'mon. I'll take u out to eat. I saw some plc which has great cakes, we can eat there

Edison seemed hesitant to go out, but the mention of cakes was too tempting. He nodded to him and tightened his hand on him, ready to follow him.

Klepta: *smiled n led him out, making sure they werent being conspicuous before making their way towards the cake house he was talking abt* Here we r, Gluten Glucose Cake House. Nice ring to it, eh?

Edison looked up, his eyes widening, able to smell the sweet scent coming from the cake house. "Ja!" he said, trying to not sound too excited.

Klepta: C'mon, lets go in, my treat *led him inside n brought him to the display counter, which had a wide assortment of cakes*

Edison rushed to the counter, looking over all the cakes, chewing on his lip. God, he wanted them all.

Klepta: *grins at Edison's reaction, n went to the counter* Let us hv one of each, pls

Worker: *nodded n got one of each cake into the tray, till they had to fill two trays of it*

Edison's mouth was nearly watering. He couldn't help it, even without his current situation, he was weak to sugary things.

Klepta: *carried the trays to a nearby seat, ordered a couple of drinks to accompany the food* C'mon, help urself *sipped at his tea, which is pretty much the only thing he ordered for himself*

Edison didn't need to be told twice as he began stuffing his face, starting with one slice and stuffed it in his mouth, getting crumbs all around his mouth but he didn't care.

Klepta: *shook his head* U reli eat like a baby. Slow dwn, ppl r watching *takes a napkin n wipes Edison's mouth clean*

Edison looked up at him for a second before going back to eating like he didn't even hear him. God, he was hungry. Why was he so hungry? Why wouldn't he stop being hungry?

Klepta: Slowly, Eddie, seriously, I dont want u to choke *pushed the ice soda he ordered for Edison to him* Here, wash it dwn with this

Edison barely stopped to drink, grabbing the soda and picking it up with both hands, taking a big gulp. When he pulled away, he gasped out, panting heavily. "A-ah... sorry..."

Klepta: *chuckles* It's OK. U seemed like u've been starved forevr or something. U OK there? I'm worried abt u

"Hy... uh..." Edison mumbled before he frowned to himself before he spoke again. "Traurig, ich errate, dass ich nicht wirklich viel und gegessen habe... Sie wissen, zuckrige Dinge machen mich gehe ein kleines... verrückt." [Sorry, I guess I've not really been eating much and... you know, sugary things make me go a little... crazy.] he spoke in his native tongue, sounding much more confident in speaking to his brother, since his English had been failing recently.

Klepta: *nodded understandingly, since his understanding of German is pretty decent* I see, bt just dont ovrdo it. I dont want u to get an upset stomach. U knw how I feel wen ppl dear to me get hurt *leans his forehead gently against him*

Edison nodded slowly at him, licking his lips before drinking more of the soda. "Ja." he mumbled before he went back to his cakes, trying to eat slower.

Klepta: *smiled, then caressed his cheek a little before going off to the counter to order another helping of evrything for Edison*

Edison purred a little before he finished up his cakes. He looked up, looking around the place, licking the cream from his lips. "Huh..." he mumbled softly, watching his brother.

Klepta: *brought the new orders to the table for him* Enough for u, mein bruder?

"Ja!" Edison said quite happily, starting to eat the extra treats.

Klepta: *watches him eat, smiling gently at him* I totally look forward to the day we defeat Big Mama, then we can be together forever without worrying abt her anymore

Edison swallowed, looking up at him, tilting his head with a frown. "Hy... hope it quick..." he said slowly, nodding before he ate more.

Klepta: U don't look like u look forward to be with me *gave a small pout*

"Nein, hy am... chust..." Edison bit his lip, looking up at his brother. "Vill be better... ven over..."

Klepta: U mean wen dis whole war is over? Yeah, ur right. I'm gonna get some for da other bros n Oz. finish up n we can leave *gets up to choose some cakes for take out*

Edison nodded and quickly finished up his cakes, finishing off his drink before he moved to get up and head over to his brother.

Klepta: *brought the bags of cakes out n led Edison out da shop to da direction of their trailer van, wen out of da blue, they were tackled by a bunch of thug-looking muscle cells*

Edison gasped out, slamming into a wall at the force, gritting his teeth before he pushed himself away, stumbling, hissing out in German.

Klepta: Wat the...?! *flares out his plasma hands n started lunging at them*

*the muscle cells were no spring chicken as they dodged n gave a few blows, then one of them made their way to Edison, gripping him with no problem n flung him against da big dumpster case with one hard blow*

Edison let his spikes snap out, ready  to defend himself, slashing at them until the big guy came over. A sharp, pained cry left him as he slammed into the dumpster, his eyes going wide as he reached down. Why did his stomach hurt so bad...?

Klepta: *heard Edison's cry n saw him starting to bleed btwn his legs, his eyes widened as he began to comprehend, then started seeing red as he was bent for da kill, tearing n slashing at the cells till there was none left*

Edison held his stomach, trembling as he slowly slid to his knees, his hand going between his legs, trying to stop the bleeding. "Nein... nein... NEIN!" he cried out, spikes shooting out all over his body.

Klepta: *by the time his mind cleared, there was nothing left bt shreds n goo of the cells, he then heard Edison screaming n made towards him, carrying him close* It's ok, bruder, everything is gonna be ok, I'm right here, mein liebe, I'm right here *made a mad dash toward da trailer van with Edison in his arms*

Edison freaked out when he was touched, hitting bloodied hands against Klepta, sounding so distressed  as spikes clawed into his skin. He couldn't help it, there was a strange instinct building inside of him, to attack, defend, even off himself for what had been done to him, he couldn't live knowning that he had killed the growing cells inside of him.

Klepta: *didnt reli mind him being attacked, as his mind was friggin' racing, thinking abt how he could've missed the signs. The hunger, the morning sickness, the constant need to rest n sleep...He felt like he deserved being beaten up like this as he held Edison close* Shh, shh, shh, its OK, mein liebe. Shh...We'll fix this, its not too late...its not... *though he sounded more like he was trying to convince himself*
