Three's A Crowd-Chp114

[once dinner was done, everyone settled dwn for a nice hearty warm meal, engaging in idle chit-chat, evn had desserts n continued to chat till late at night before everyone turned in to go to bed]

[in the middle of the night...]

Hater: [felt a little thirsty n got up to get himself a drink frm the kitchen, tho he didn't knw where the lights were, so he had to feel his way thru the dark]

???: (tired) (was also making their way through the dark until bumping into Hater) (doh)

Hater: Eekk!! [fumbled abt the dark, flaring his claws] Who's there?? My body is ready!!

???: S-Sir...? That you?

Hater: Wha...? [brought his flared hand close to the voice source n saw Peepers] C.Peeps? U scared the bejeebus outta me!

Peepers: ^^;; Sorry, nature was calling. And you?

Hater: Kinda thirsty actually, trying to find my way to the kitchen [stared at his flared hand n realized something] Well, tht was dumb. I should've used this power to light my way in the beginning |-(

Peepers: (chuckle)

Hater: U need me to light ur way to the bathroom first?

Peepers: (crosses legs) That'd be nice. ^^;;

Hater: [using his flared claw, helped Peepers to find the bathroom]

Peepers: :D thank you, sir (dashes inside to do his business)

Hater: [waited for him outside just in case he needs light again]

(few minutes later)

Peepers: (comes out) (whew) That's much better.

Hater: Nice. I'm heading off to the kitchen to get a drink. U want me to help get bk to ur room or...?

Peepers: (think) Well, unless you'd like some company? It's been some time since we've last had some sort of talk between just us.

Hater: Yeah, ur right. Sure, lets go. I'm just gonna grab tht drink n go sit at the backyard

Peepers: (nod) (followed Hater)

Hater: [made his way to the kitchen, got himself a bottle of soda pop, then made his way to the backyard porch n sat to drink]

Peepers: (sat next to him)

Hater: [heaved a satisfied sigh aftr chugging his drink] Ahh~ Tht's a good soda pop

Peepers: :) I bet.

Hater: ....Hey, C.Peeps?

Peepers: ...Yes, Sir?

Hater: R u...happy with the choice u've made?

Peepers: (nod) I am. And what about you?

Hater: Well, kinda, I mean... [sighed] Wat if I made the wrong choice?

Peepers: How so? Wander loves both you and Brad and now he can have both of you in his life.

Hater: Yeah bt... C.Peeps, I love Wander. I nvr knew I could bt I do. I love him with evry fiber of my being. Bt... wat if I make the same mistakes, or a bigger mistake tht's evn worse than wat I did? I've already hurt him so deeply once. I almost killed him, for gob sake. Wat if I end up hurting Wander again? Wat if I end up doing something tht hurt Wander so bad tht there is no way I can redeem myself? Which is why I'm asking if I made the wrong choice, coz wat if Wander would've been happier if I just backed away n let Brad be with him? :(

Peepers: :( Sir... (rested a hand on the Skeletor's arm) Maybe it'd be best to not worry so much about the past cause it might effect your future with him.

Hater: I knw... Bt I can't help it... Aftr wat I did to him... :(

Peepers: Sir...you do remember what happened to me and Sylvia, right?

Hater: Well... Yeah, I do...

Peepers: I'll admit, I don't get the nightmares as much as I used to after that event but I slowly learned to overcome that fear so I can be happy with Sylvia, Awesome and our children. I don't want to be focusing on the past and miss out on the future, so you shouldn't be either.

Hater: [thought for a bit] Yeah... I gotta admit the nightmares I always had ever since I almost killed Wander has...sorta subsided now. Its still ard, bt only once in a while these days, evr since we decided to be together...

Peepers: :)

Hater: Seems like now tht ur married to both Sylvia n Awesome, n Awesome might be considering the throne, u might hv to be on Planet Marina for quite an extended amt of time in the future

Peepers: (nod) Mhm.

Hater: So... does tht mean we're gonna hang up the cape? Retire frm conquering?

Peepers: Seems likely.

Hater: N... ur OK with tht?

Peepers: Well I have enjoyed being Commander and the whole Captain gig seems a bit more to work with. So I won't mind.

Hater: Yeah, being an Emperor's advisor n concubine might look good on u (giggle)

Peepers: ^^ I'd think so too.

Hater: [sighed as he took another sip] Yeah... I guess I could give up the conquering thing. I mean, tbh I did this bcoz I wanted to prove to my dad that I can be something bigger than just a ruler of a planet, bt now that my dad is gone, there's no one for me to prove, n well... Wander is my world now. I would prefer that world over the whole nine galaxies

Peepers: :) Good for you, Sir. Or, should I just be calling you 'Hater' now? ;)

Hater: Heh, its cool, u can call me watevr u want. I'm gonna still call u Peeps all the same (giggle)

Peepers: :) Right. (yawn)

Hater: Oh sorry, hearing me blabbing abt like this. We better get bk to bed

Peepers: (tired) Yeah, we should. (was starting to doze off)

Hater: [finished the last of his soda pop, set it aside n gently picks Peepers up] Upsy-daisy

Peepers: (didn't even protest, snuggling against Hater) |-)

Hater: [used his powers to light the way as he carried Peepers to the bedroom he, Sylvia n Awesome shared, then tiptoed his way ard the plc until he got to the empty right side of Sylvia n lay him dwn there]

Peepers: (when he was near Sylvia, nuzzled up to her side) |-)

Sylvia: [stirred a little bt doesn't wake, one of her arms n her tail instinctively wrapped ard the Watchdog]

Hater: [stared at the threesome couple for a moment, picturing it to be him, Brad n Wander, then sighed with a smile n left the room, returning to his own room, then sees Brad n Wander still asleep in bed, cuddled close] .... :)

Wander: |-) (was snuggled up against Brad in the man's arms)

Hater: [stared at them for a while, giving Peepers words a thought, then sighed in content as he whispered to himself] ....Yeah, definitely much better than conquering [slowly slids into bed, cuddling close to Wander]

Wander: |-) ... love you...Hatey...Bradley...

Hater: [whispered] Love u too, furball... [nuzzled him gently as he slowly drifted off to sleep] .... |-)

Brad: [mumbled "Love u too" as well before snoring quietly in his dreamland] |-)

Wander: |-) (smiled in his sleep)
