As My Heart Dies-Chp53

[the group soon finished their meal n made their way to the hotel Peepers had booked for them]

Wander: Woah, nice digs

Peepers: I do my best [puffed his chest with pride]

Hater: (smirk)

Sylvia: :) Not bad.

Wander: Well, let's head off then. I'm beat (yawn)

Peepers: Same (yawn) It's been an eventful day

Sylvia: (yawn) I could go for a nap too.

Hater: (tired)

Wander: Right. G'night. Sleep tight~ Don't let the bed bugs bite (giggle) [went to his room he's sharing with Sylvia]

Sylvia: (follows)

Brad: So... who am I sharing a room with?

Peepers: Me, unfortunately |-( Hater needs his privacy. He gets his own room

Hater: Yeah. ^^;; Sorry, C Peeps.

Brad: Well...okay then.

Peepers: Whatever [got the keys n enter the room first] Good night, sir

Hater: Night, Peeps.

Brad: (carried his large case, following Peepers)

Peepers: [stepped aside to let him put dwn his stack] So got everything u need there, pretty boy?

Brad: Pretty sure I do. (Set the case beside his bed and opened it)

Peepers: [was curious, couldn't help trying to peek]

(Inside the case were a bunch of paint brushes, pencils, markers and also every colour of the rainbow was included with the collection)

Brad: :)

Peepers: Wow, ur reli going all out, huh? With this artsy thing?

Brad: It's been a long time since I've done anything art related. You can say this kind of keeps me at bay from playing 'Prince' so much.

Peepers: I see... So... Wat's the deal btwn u n Hater anyways? He was on n on abt how annoying u are bk then, saying u two had a run-in with the furball n made him lose the Sword of Synergy or whatever, n saying u both share the same mortal enemy or something...

Brad: (shrugged) I guess we just get into each other's business a little too often.

Peepers: If its tht furball, no surprise there [a short pause later] So... uhh... u sure ur cool with joining our crew? I mean... I feel like ur doing this to sorta...run away frm reality. I mean, not tht I care, bt I just don't want to hv anymore emotional baggage ard the crew than we already hv with Hater being sick

Brad: I'm fine doing this, really... Maybe this'll help me keep away from...her. :(

Peepers: Her? [doesn't know the full story abt him n Demurra n wat he n Wander been thru]

Brad: Oh, right. You haven't heard about Demurra. Well... (expalins the whole thing of trying to be the hero despite Demurra saying she was happy with her dragon husband and how she always claimed 'Life isn't a fairy tale', plus of how he had turned down the chance of just being her friend)

Peepers: I see... Well did u actually evn 'love' love her to begin with?

Brad: I thought I did... Now I'm not so sure... (sees Peepers nodding off) You should be getting some sleep. :)

Peepers: (tired) Huh? Oh, uh, yeah, I guess (yawn) Don't mind me while I get changed [rummaged his bag to find his pajamas, then undressed in front of him]

Brad: (blinked and tried to look away) o///o

Peepers: [was oblivious to Brad staring as he got changed; despite being tiny n short, his purple body showed the results of good workout as he was nice n fit, with muscles at the right places]

Brad: (thinks: oh damn...)

Peepers: [finished buttoning up his pajamas, which had lightning bolt designs on it, covering his body, making him bk into his unassuming tiny look] Right, good night (yawn) [crawled into bed n slept] |-)

Brad: yeah... night...

[meanwhile at Wander's end...]

Wander: So~~ U can level with me, Syl. I'd expect u to throw a fit at someone using u as a deal breaker. Why go along with this date? (smirk)

Sylvia: >_> What does it matter?

Wander: It matters wen I know u can't stand that fish guy. U made it obviously so the first time we met him

Sylvia: Yeah, I know...

Wander: Well~? U can tell me, buddy ;)

Sylvia: ...Ugh, fine. Maybe there's a chance he's changed over the whole time we've been doing this with Hater?

Wander: Hmm... Yeah, I guess ur right. If Hatey can change, maybe Awesome can too :)

Sylvia: Who knows.

Wander: :) I'm curious now as how ur date with Awesome will turn out. Maybe u two might even get lucky :D

Sylvia: <///< Don't push it.

Wander: (giggle)
