[A few more weeks passed n they were almost close to their destination. During tht period, Wander still avoided Hater, n often sneaked into the ship bar to drink his problems away. Tonight, on the last day of the journey, he was no different]
Wander: [was hiding behind n underneath the bar counter, chugging another bottle of whatever booze he laid his hand on]
(A hand rested on his shoulder)
???: Back in here again, son?
Wander: [jumped at the touch, then looked up to see Angel glaring dwn at him] Heeyyy Papa, come to joinnn meee~~? :D
Angel: (facepalm) Son, you should know better then drinking your worries away, it doesn't work like that. Now it's high time you and your Skeletor friend should--
Wander: No!! U don't understand wat it feels like to be lied to like that!! I don't wanna talk to him ever again!! [shoved Angel weakly as he took another swig]
Angel: ...But I do understand how it feels to lose someone close to you...And you think Hater wanted to lie to you like this?
Wander: If he didn't want to lie to me, he should've told me earlier! He's got plenty of chances! A gajillion chances!! N he blew it! I'm not gonna talk to him ever again n that's final!! [realized he finished his bottle n threw it away with a crash, trying to get up to find some more]
Angel: (grabbed him) :| No. You and he will talk things out, whether you want to or not.
Hater: (had poked his head in) ?
Wander: No! Let go of me!! I don't wanna talk!! U got no right!! [struggled against Angel]
Angel: I do have a right, I am your father. And if it was your mother asking you to do this, would you disobey her?
Hater: :(
Wander: Don't u drag Mama into this!! This has nothing to do with her!! It's abt me n... [finally sees Hater, then scowled n looked away]
Hater: (came closer) Wander, please, I didn't...
Wander: [tries to go away bt Angel held his arm tight] ...Let go of me, Papa
Angel: Just talk with him, son.
Hater: :(
Wander: ....No [still not looking at Hater]
Angel: Son-
Hater: Forget it. The Friendliest face in the galaxy wants to person to go into their grave with more guilt then they've already had... (started to turn away) Honestly, it's like he thinks I wanted this to happen. I didn't know it would and I didn't know how else to tell you because I worried about what reactions you would give.
Wander: [glared at Hater, then pulled away from Angel n grabbed a random bottle n threw it at Hater's head, thankfully it was plastic] Don't u dare!! Don't u dare try to pin this on me!! Don't u dare blame me for ur guilt wen u didn't take the chance to tell me earlier in the first place!! Everyone knew!! Sylvia knew, Peeps knew, hell, prolly even Awesome n Westley knew, n I'm the only one who doesn't!! Don't u realize how terrible n stupid that makes me feel?! I'm supposed to be ur best buddy!!!
Hater: (doh) And you think it's that easy to tell someone something THIS serious?? You think it's THAT easy?! Like, you yourself can barel even keep a secret for more then 5 minutes!!
Angel: (stood aside, letting them argue it out)
Wander: This has nothing to do with me keeping secrets! N even if u wanted me to keep this a secret, u think I would blab to anyone something this serious as well?? U had so many chances! So. Many. Chances wen we were doing Grimm's courting ceremony! So many times where we can be alone n u talk it out with me n u blew it!! I thought u trusted me! Wen u said u wanna be friends with me, tht u want me to join u, I thought u trusted me, believed in me!! "Magic cold" my foot!
Hater: ;( ... I'M SORRY, REALLY!! I didn't expect this to happen, I don't even want to leave these galaxies like this...I don't want to end up leaving behind someone, whom I've always refused to be my friend... I want to make it up as much as I can while I'm still here...
Wander: If u had told me earlier, I would've taken it better! Sure, I'd be sad, maybe be in denial for a while, trying to find u a cure even tho u said there isn't, bt in time, I would've accepted it! But u didn't! U didn't tell me! U made me feel stupid for not knowing the signs, for not seeing it sooner! U made me feel bad tht I'm the last person to know wen everyone else already knew! To think... To think I could finally get closer to u, to let us be more than friends, to express u my true feelings I felt for u the first day I met u, n wen u said u wanted us to be more than friends, I was so happy... I... I thought... We... ;( [started sobbing]
Angel: :(
Hater: We...we still can...I don't want to spend any last days I have...fighting like this... ;(
Wander: [sees him try to come close] No!! Don't come near me!! U lied to me! U hid something so serious from me!! I love u!! I was in love with u from the very first day we met! N I thought we could've something together wen u asked me if we could be more than friends!! N now ur gonna die!! Ur gonna leave me alone just like Mama n my siblings did!! ;( It would be better if I just stayed angry with u, tht I hate u!! [sobbed hard as he covered his face] ;(
Hater: :( (comes over anyhow and embraced the nomad)
Angel: (held his breath)
Hater: ...I love you too... And I'm so sorry... ;(
Wander: No! No, no, no! Let go of me!! Don't touch me!! I finally get to fulfill my dreams of hving u love me bk, n then u just spring this on me?! No! I hate u! Just go somewhere n rot n die for all I care! I hate u! I hate u, I hate u, I hate u!! ;( [hit at Hater's chest, tears falling dwn his cheeks like rain as he sobbed n wailed in his arms]
Hater: (cuddled him closely) ... Do you really, though? Do you even hate me? :(
Wander: [doesn't reply, bt has stopped hitting him n just wailed out loud in his arms, gripping his robes tight, shaking his head hard] ;(
Hater: :( (rocked him gently) ... You are my sunshine... My only sunshine... You make me happy, when skies are grey...
Angel: :)
Wander: [hears his quiet singing in his ear n his gentle rocking n soon calmed dwn from his sobbing, still sniffling a little n holding onto him tight as he slowly passed out from the booze n the emotional wreck he was in]
Hater: :) (picked him up in his arms, carrying him to his room)
Angel: (nod)
Wander: |-) [asleep in his arms, all tuckered out]
Hater: (entered Wander's room and gently tucked him in) :$ (gave a light kiss on his forehead)
Wander: [curled in the covers] Hatey... [mumbled in his sleep] |-)
Hater: :) (sighed softly and sat by his side, watching him sleep)
