Flesh of My Blood-Chp166

[the duo made their way to the slums area to blend in n avoid detection]

Wander: (snuck around along with Brad)

Brad: [sees an abandoned building] That looks like a promising spot

Wander: (nod) (heads towards it)

[both of them entered from the bk entrance n settled into one of the floors, passing by some squatters n homeless ppl who live in there as well]

Wander: (thinks: these poor poeple...)

Brad: [sees them bt he knew there's nothing they can do right now without compromising themselves, whispered] Keep walking, furball. I knw u wanna help, bt we're in over our heads right now

Wander: ...I know...

Brad: [found a room that has a sort of clear view of the palace far away] We'll bunk here, furball

Wander: (nod) Mhm.

Brad: I wonder how is Boney holding up in there

Wander: Probably not very well... (worry) What if he's getting...?

Brad: Getting wat? Executed?

Wander: No...forced to give an heir to someone else, he already has me and our litter, he shouldn't need to be going through all he went through before again! He... ;(

Brad: [blinked] Ur hitting rather close to the nose, aren't u? U sure ur not jumping to conclusions?

Wander: You think I'm not sure if that's what he is going through right now?! He's been through enough, I just can't deal with if that's the real deal, and...

Brad: Hey, hey, easy, furball. Slow dwn, take a deep breath [wraps his arms ard him]

Wander: (breathed in and out, trembling slightly) I'm... I'm sorry, I'm just... I'm worried about him... :(

Brad: U might be right. His dad is an asshole. He sold him off as soon as he was of age, I wouldn't be surprised if he did it again [held him closer] Bt if that reli happens, he has u. U can help him go thru it. U hv to be strong for him. He needs u, more than anything. If u can't even deal with it, how is he gonna deal with it? So get it together, OK? For ur wife

Wander: ... I will... (held onto Brad)

Brad: [held him close, hushed him n rubbed his bk, trying to calm him down]

Wander: (slowly relaxed, allowing Brad to continue rocking him)

Brad: [hushed as he rocked him, kissing his forehead to calm him down more] Everything will be OK, furball. We'll weather thru whatever comes our way, n we'll save Boney

Wander: ...Alright.

Brad: [held him close for a while silently, then slowly looked dwn to face Wander, his nose inches away from Wander's, just staring at him]

Wander: (stared back, holding Brad's hand agsint his face) ...Brad...?

Brad: [blushed a little] .... I lied...

Wander: Wh...what...?

Brad: [sighed] ....even wen I said I'm cool with us being friends... Part of me still loves u... Even wen I'm at peace with u being married to Boney, part of me still yearns for u... Still wants us to be bk together... Is that... bad...?

Wander: ...I understand... it can be hard moving on...

Brad: Do u... Do u still hv feelings for me...?

Wander: ... In a way... but I still would've wanted you to be happy with some, even if it wasnt me...

Brad: But... Wat if I don't find someone I can be happy with? Wat if I can only be happy with u...?

Wander: ...I don't know, Brad... I just don't know... But, Bradley...?

Brad: Wat...?

Wander: (swallowed) If anything... ever happened to Hatey, you'd... :( You'd be there for me and the litter, won't you?

Brad: Tht's a bit of a tall order... bt yeah, I would. Cross my heart

Wander: :) (hugged him)

Brad: [hugged him bk, then faced him again] Can I... Can I kiss u...? For old times' sake...? [blushed a little]

Wander: (paused a moment... then nodded)

Brad: [hesitated a little bit, then leans in to kiss Wander softly on the lips]

Wander: (shivered, wrapping his arms around the knight's neck)

Brad: [deepens the kiss a little, holding him close]

Wander: Mmm...(snuggled closely)

Brad: [slowly pulls away, a little breathless] ...Best not go too far...

Wander: Y...yeah...

Brad: Lets just hope Boney is holding up while we come up with a plan

Wander: I hope so too...
