(meanwhile)
Wander: (had Hater tucked in with Brad's help)
Hater: Zzz.... |-)
Brad: [pulled the covers ovr Hater to tuck him in, doesn't say a word]
Wander: :( ...
Brad: [stared at Hater for a while, then turned to Wander with a pained look on his face] U like him, don't u? Ur in love with him, aren't u?
Wander: :O ... (shrugged slightly) :$
Brad: Tht's why u kept saying tht ur unsure abt all this. U don't want us to hurt Hater bcoz u hv the hots for him :(
Wander: ... (nodded slowly)
Brad: [his facial expression looked evn more pained] I nvr had a chance with u to begin with, hv I? :(
Wander: :( ... (rested his hand on Brad's)
Brad: [lets his hand stay for a while before pulling away a little] U should've told me in the first plc, u knw, instead of just going along with whatever I said to u. I feel stupid right now
Wander: (shake) (waved his hands in protest)
Brad: [remembered abt his condition, then looked ard n saw a few pieces of paper n a pen on Hater's desk n hands it to him]
Wander: (took them and began writing)
Brad: [crossed his arms n waited for him to be done]
Wander: (held up his note)
Note: I do like Hater in that way, but if he can't accept me... I guess I can at least give you a chance.
Brad: [reads the note] So I'm the rebound guy now? Is tht it? Ur backup?
Wander: (like) ... (worry) (didn't want Brad to feel used)
Brad: [sighed] I need to think abt this, abt all this... [gets up n leaves the room] I gonna go get a drink. Don't mind me...
Wander: :( ... (sat by Hater's side)
Hater: [still asleep] |-) Zzzz...
Wander: ... (rested his hand on Hater's)
[an hour into his sleep, Hater had the same dream again, the begging, the crying, the screaming, the bursting into flames, bt this time it escalated to Wander turning into a charred black bloodied angry creature who tries to kill him]
Hater: No... No... Leave me alone... No...!!
Wander: (tired) ? (sees Hater struggling in his sleep) :O (shook him)
Hater: No... No, leave me alone...!! No...!! NOOO!! [shot up all sweaty as he woke up, breathing heavily]
Wander: !! (almost fell backward)
Hater: [his brain tries to catch up with him as he looked frantically ard his room, then screamed wen he sees Wander nxt to him] Gaaahhh!!! Get away!!!
Wander: :O (tried to calm him down)
Hater: [backs away from Wander until he fell off the bed] (doh) Gahh!!
Wander: (rushed over to his side) :( ?
Hater: [his brain finally caught up with him as he sees Wander, standing there, real flesh n blood looking dwn at him] U... Ur still here...
Wander: (nod) (petted his head) :( ?
Hater: Ur still here! [gets up abruptly] Wat r u still doing here? >:C
Wander: :o ... :( (showed on his face he was worried about him)
Hater: If ur worried abt me, well, don't. U n ur zbornak friend got wat u came for. U hv defeated me n humiliated me yet again! U happy now? [climbed onto the bed n into the covers] Now get lost!
Wander: (stayed where he was) ...
Hater: Didn't u hear me? Hv u gone deaf as well?? I said get lost! [shot his powers at Wander's feet]
Wander: :o (jumped back, colliding backwards to the floor) ... ;( (got up and left quickly)
Hater: [watched him leave, then sat on the bed n sighed, burying his head in his hands]
Brad: [managed to locate the bar n helped himself to some booze]
Wander: (was walking by) :(
Brad: [sees Wander] Princess? Wats wrong? Did something happen to tht bonehead?
Wander: (shake) (but hugged himself)
Brad: Wat did he do? Did he hurt u again? I'm gonna go give him a piece of my mind [was abt to draw out his sword n leave]
Wander: (stopped him) ... (hung his head) ;( (embraced Brad)
Brad: [felt his embrace, blushed a little, then sighed n held him close] It's OK, princess. I'm right here... :(
Wander: (nuzzled into his chest) :(
Brad: Wat r u gonna do now? [gives him a pen n a paper napkin to write on]
Wander: (think) ... (write down on napkin)
Note: I'm not sure... I want to give Hater another chance but it's kind of hard right now...
Brad: Why? He still doesn't want u, does he?
Wander: (shugged) :(
Brad: The question is u wanna still stick ard or do u wanna leave?
Wander: (wrote)
Note: I'm stuck in between, you might say.
Brad: Whatever u decide, I'll be here for u. I'm not going to give up on u tht easily, not wen I still hv a teeny tiny chance with u
Wander: ... (nod)
Brad: Don't worry, I won't be pushy like I did with Demurra, bt I won't leave u either. Whenever u need me, I'll be right here with u
Wander: (hugged him) ^^
Brad: :) [hugged him bk, then leans in to kiss his forehead] :$
Wander: :$ (flushes slightly)
Brad: Btw, where is ur friend Sylvia? Haven't seen her since just now. U think she's still mad?
Wander: (shrugged but also frowned)
Brad: [noticed the frown] Wats wrong?
Wander: ... (wrote)
Note: I get she doesn't like Hater much but she does need to understand how I'm feeling about all this.
Brad: She probably needs time. Like u said, she doesn't like Hater. She prolly needs time to process n get over it with
Wander: (nod) ...
Brad: Come, let's leave for a while, give tht bonehead some space. We can come visit him later wen he's cooled off
Wander: (nodded silently, leaning into Brad's side)
Brad: [carries Wander onto his shoulder] Sylvia? Yo, zbornak! We gotta jet! Where are-- [arrived where he had parked the bike only to see it gone] Wait, where's my ride?
Wander: :O ?!
Brad: [sees Westley walk by] U! Shorty! Hv u seen my sweet ride?
Westley: Huh? Oh, the zbornak was mumbling something abt blowing off steam n talking on the communicator saying she'll meet them somewhere n took off with the bike
Wander: (think)
Brad: (facepalm) Great, she's definitely mad at us
Wander: ^^;;
Brad: Got any ride we can borrow so we can get outta here?
Westley: Actually Commander Peepers gave us orders tht u can stay with us if u like. We hv some quarters in our ship tht is considerably far away from Lord Hater so tht u wouldn't bother him or run into him too much
Wander: (looked at Brad to see what he thinks about it)
Brad: (think) [shrugged] It's not like we hv any place to go lately, do u?
Wander: (shake)
Brad: Right, we'll take the offer then, just till Sylvia comes bk
Westley: Great, I'll lead the way
Wander: (nod)
Westley: [led them to the private quarters area n showed them a door where it's a bunk bed with all the bedroom necessities] Bathroom's dwn the hall, toiletries available below the sink. Make urselves at home
Brad: Thanks, shorty
Westley: It's Westley -__-;;
Wander: (giggle)
Brad: [waits till Westley leaves before they entered the room] So, top bunk or bottom bunk?
Wander: (pointed upward) :D
Brad: [rolled his eyes humorously] Of course u do. Then I call dibs on the bottom
Wander: :)
Brad: [sets Wander dwn on the top bunk, then sat on his own bed] Hmm, comfy, more or less
Wander: (lay down on his bed) ^^ ... (yawn)
Brad: I'll be dwn here if u need me, OK? :)
Wander: (nod) (settled into his bed) (tired) ... |-)
Brad: :) [watched Wander fall asleep, then leans in to kiss his forehead before settling into his own bunk n slept] (yawn) .... |-) Zzzzzz....
Wander: (blushed and smiled in his sleep) |-)
