I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 216

"Thrax, I got some Dinner for you."

Thrax: *was not curled up anymore, bt he was still fully submerged in the tub till his chin as he looked up at Oz, a long pause before responding* What's in it?

Ozzy moved over to the tub, kneeling down beside it with the bowl and spoon. "Meat and veggies, good for keeping your strength up."

Thrax: *stares at the stew for a bit n looks away* No

Ozzy blinked before he looked at him, frowning. "What?" he asked, looking confused.

Thrax: I don't wanna *lowers into the tub*

"But you need to eat. Don't be a baby about it." Ozzy huffed, scooping some of the stew onto the spoon and holding it out to him.

Thrax: *stared long n hard at the stew again before looking away, mumbling something*

"What? It's good for you. It'll make you feel better. I bet you're hungry after all that work before." Ozzy said, moving the spoon closer to him.

"What is it?" Ozzy asked, watching the virus, nudging the spoon close.

Thrax: *another long pause* Peas. I don't like them

"..." Ozzy sat there for a moment before he snorted and laughed a little. "Is that it?" he shook his head at him before he stirred the stew and scooped around the peas before holding it up again.

Thrax: *glared at him* Don't laugh. I eat other vegs, bt tht *pointed at the peas with his glare* THAT I can't stand *opened his mouth to be fed*

"Yeah, yeah." Ozzy teased as he scooped up some more of the stew, keeping the peas out. He gave a little grin before he began making train noises. "Choo choo, here comes the train~" he laughed as he swooped the spoon to his mouth.

Thrax: *growled at him for tht tease bt was shut up by the spoon stuffed into his mouth, chewed while glared grudgingly at the cell, grumbling under his breath*

Ozzy laughed a little before he leaned in and nuzzled his cheek sweetly, knowing that he couldn't stay mad at him for long. He continued to feed the virus until everything but the peas was gone.

Thrax: *finished evrything, then hesitantly leaned in n gave Oz a deep kiss in the lips (with tongue) before submerging bk into the tub, muttering* Gracias, mi bebe

Ozzy blinked and flushed at the sudden kiss, giving a little smile when he pulled away as the cell stood up. "You're welcome. When you're ready, you can get out, the fire is on in the bedroom so it'll keep ya warm, okay?" he said before heading out to let him warm up, taking the bowl back to the kitchen.

Thrax: *watched as he left, then sighed in content as he curled in the hot water again, enjoying the heat*

Klepta: *was getting dressed wen the cell came dwn, looking like he was going out while the twins were helping to clear the table n do the dishes*

Ozzy blinked, looking to Klepta as he walked in. "Going somewhere?" he asked, scooping the peas into the trash before giving the twins the bowl and spoon.

Klepta: Yeah. I'm going out to buy some extra blankets n coats for all of us, prolly evn more extra for Thrax. I just heard frm the radio tht this snowy thing might get evn worse.

"Ugh, just what we need." Ozzy sighed and shook his head as he got himself his own stew to finally eat.
"Kan get me... light weight coat." Edison asked as he looked up from his drink. Stealth was something he was best at, he didn't need a coat giving him away.

Klepta: *nod* Sure. Anyone hv any specifics u want me to get?

Rodeo: Extra quilt, onegaishimasu~!

Rouge: Hai,hai, n thicker sweaters, booties n mittens for our futago-chan ne~!

Klepta: Alright. Got it. I'll try to be bk ASAP *left the house*

Edison watched as he left before he sighed, opening up his laptop he brought down to research more on the hidden entrance he found. He needed to get in there, look around, he was sure that the main electrical unit was near that door.

Rodeo: *hears the twins crying* Ahh, feeding time desu-ne, ne, Oz to-chan, can u help me look aftr Amber-chan while I feed the twins? I'm trying to wean her off my milk. I dont want her to get too used to it or I'll collapse frm all this calorie loss. Ne? Onegaishimasu~?

Ozzy blinked and looked up from his food. "Huh? Oh, yeah, sure. I'm sure Amber wants to chill with her cool uncle Oz." he said, grinning and winking at the lil virus.

Rouge: Domo *went upstairs with Rodeo to tend to the twin babies*

Amber: *pouts as she watched her parents going upstairs, sitting on the living room couch*

Ozzy moved to sit with the little girl, continuing to eat his food. "Now what's with that pouty face?" he asked, giving her lip a little poke.

Amber: *puffed her cheeks in annoyance, then sees Edison moving in to the living room n near the fire for warmth n jumped off the couch, then quick as a flash she crawled towards Edison, burrows underneath Edison's sweater n shirt until she found his nipple, then latched on before anyone could stop her n started suckling at the sweet, sweet milk*

Edison blinked in surprise when he found Amber crawling under his clothes, gasping and trying to pull her out. "A-ah, Amber!" he called, lifting up his hoodie and shirt before he pulled her off his chest, looking a little flustered. "Dot... Dot not for Hyu, Milk for Babies." he said slowly, setting her down and tugging down his clothes again, flushing.

Amber: *whined at being pulled off, n wasnt gonna give up tht easily, n started burrowing herself underneath n latched on hard again, sucking at the milk, her claws gripping tightly onto the clothes so she wouldnt be pulled off again, much to the amusement of the cell*

Edison gasped out and winced a little at the aggressive need. He lifted his clothes again, tugging her off and holding her away from him. "Amber! Schtop, Hyu not allowed." he said before looking to Ozzy desperately who snorted and shook his head. "Come on Amber, leave him alone, your Momma said no more."

Amber: *puffed her cheeks in annoyance again, n finally burst into tears, crying n wailing out loud like mad, prolly almost bringing the house dwn* UWWAAAAAA~~~!!!!!

Edison's eyes widened as he panicked, dropping her onto her feet, looking to Ozzy again. Getting up, the cell moved over to her and picked her up, hugging her to his chest and rubbing her back. "Shhh, come on Amber, you're a big girl now... no need for all that crying."

Amber: *sniffles n whimpers, pointing at Edison, wanting her milk* Nen-nen~ (a Asian universal baby language for 'milk')

Ozzy blinked and looked over at Edison. "No, Amber... you can't have milk anymore. You're too old now, I can get you some tasty juice though?"

Amber: *flailed like an octopus* Nen-nen~!!!

Ozzy blinked in surprise, struggling to hold her. "H-hey, come on now, Amber... You don't need that icky milk."

Amber: *puffed her cheeks again n this time went jelly like Oz does wen he protests at Thrax, going all limp* Nen~Nen~

Ozzy grunted and huffed, lifting her up properly into his arms. "I know. How about we go get you something better than Nen-Nen, eh? You haven't tried... Ice cream yet, have you? That's so much better."

Amber: *eyes lit up at the word 'ice-cream', lifting her head n look at him* Ai-keem (ice-cream)? *hasnt learnt to speak properly yet*

Ozzy grinned and nodded. "Yeah girl, Ice cream, has your momma and papa let you try that yet? It's so good, way better than milk, let me tell you."

Amber: *looked longingly at Edison for a moment, bt the temptation of ice-cream was too great for the little girl as she nodded at Oz*

Ozzy grinned and ruffled her hair. "Atta girl, let's get your coat and I'll take you out to get some ice cream." he said before walking off with her to get her ready to face the cold outside.

Edison sighed, rubbing his chest a little as he shook his head. He hoped that didn't happen again.

Amber: 'Kay~ *walked with Oz to her n her parents' room to get her jacket*

Rodeo: *still feeding the twins in his arms while Rouge sat beside him feeding him some grapes tht he brought upstairs the other night for snacks*

Ozzy knocked on the door, waiting for them to say it was okay before poking his head in. "Yo, I just came to get Amber's jacket, gunna take her to get some Ice cream, cold turkey ain't working for her."

Rouge: Ah, wakata (understood). Maybe we should consider letting her drink alternative milk or something. Here's her jacket desu *tossed the jacket to him*

Rodeo: Eh? Ice-cream? Daijobu ka? It's kinda cold out there

Ozzy grabbed the jacket and helped Amber into it, zipping her up. "Huh? Don't worry, I think there's a place nearby, I won't keep her out long, there and back, yeah?" he said, patting Amber's head.

Rodeo: Alright, but be careful

Rouge: Daijobu, ottoto, he's been training well. He can protect Amber-chan

Amber: Ai-keem~ Ai-keem~

"Don't worry, yeah? I ain't gunna let anyone hurt her, you'll stay close, won't you Amber?" Ozzy said, smiling at her before taking her hand. "Say bye bye to Momma and Papa." he said, showing her to wave before leading her off.

Amber: *waved goodbye to Rodeo n Rouge before letting the cell led her outdoors, waving goodbye at Edison too as they passed by him*

Edison looked up, giving an awkward wave before going back to his laptop.
