Episode 7
Thrax; 8took a deep breath8
*once they approached the brain centre, all of the brain centre staff who saw Thrax welcomed him bk warmly*
Thrx; 8slightly blushed8
*it was soon bk to the usual mundane working life for the gang*
Thrax; 8was hoping for no trouble for a while8
*meanwhile, at the hospital, the mute attendant watched Alexis sleeping beside Nightingale on the couch n brought in a warm drink for him*
Attendant: *taps Alexis' shoulder*
Alexis; 8groaned slightly then slowly opened his eyes8
Attendant: *smiles n offers him a breakfast drink*
Alexis; 8gently took it8 Thank you.
Attendant: *smiled in a "Ur welcome" manner. He had a notepad n pen hanging ard his neck just in case no one understands his sign languages*
Alexis; 8took small sips8
Attendant: *writes* Everything alright with u?
Alexis; Yes thank you.
Attendant: *writes* He'll be alright, though he will probably have many scars. Wherevr he's working, I dont think those scars are going to help him earn his money now
Alexis; We've been trying to get him out of that line of work.
Attendant: *writes* Still, he must take pride in his body vry much. It seems like he took vry good care of it. Now the only thing u have to worry is whether the scars would ruin his self-esteem
Alexis; I don't care as long as he's alright.
Attendant: *writes* You...must love him vry much
Alexis; I do.
Attendant: *writes* He's lucky to have u. Not many germs are well-liked here in Hector
Alexis; Same with viruses.
Attendant: *writes* Personally I think it's stupid, bt then again, it's just me
Alexis; 8cocked a brow8
Attendant: *hears the announcement calling for him n bowed at Alexis before leaving*
Alexis; 8sighed as he took Night's hand8
Nightingale: *abt 30 minutes later, slowly stirred* Mmmh...W...Where am I...?
Alexis; Night.
Nightingale: *turns to him* Mmmh...? A...Alex...? Wh...Where am I...? I remember...slashing n drowning...
Alexis; You're in hospital, Thrax saved you.
Nightingale: R...Reli...? Oh...Oi vey...my head... *puts his hand on his head*
Alexis; Easy now, don't strain yourself.
Nightingale: *sees the bandages all ovr his body* Oh Hector, now I remember. I was at the docks, n someone approach me frm behind n...n he was moving so fast ard me n next thing i knw was my body was spraying blood n pushed into the sea...
Alexis; You may want to talk to Thrax about it.
Nightingale: I...I remember him saying "A msg to ur viral friends" or something like tht...Oh Hector, wht if he got to them already?
Alexis; Everyone's ok, Night.
Nightingale: *looks at the bandages again* W...Will I scar?
Alexis; From what the doctors say.
Nightingale: Will...Will the scars go away?
Alexis; I'm not sure.
Nightingale: *covered his eyes with his arms n groan* Ugh~! This is so not good for my job~! My boss will kill me~!
Alexis; Who gives a hell/
Nightingale: I would! It's my job! I'll scar n I wont be pretty anymore n I wont earn any money!! No one wants to fuck a guy with scars! Look at me!!
Alexis; Nightingale, enough.
Nightingale: *tries to hold bk tears as he turned his bk to Alexis* I'm...I'm not pretty anymore. U might as well leave me while u still can
Alexis; Night listen I didn't fall in love with you for your looks.
Nightingale: Liar. Wht else can anyone love me for?
Alexis; For who you are, that's why I feel in love with you.
Nightingale: For who I am? I'm a lounge singer n a whore. U expect me to believe tht?
Alexis; For the person within, the real you hidden inside your heart.
Nightingale: *covers his eyes* Just go away, Alex. I'm not worth it
Alexis; Night.
Nightingale: Just go the fuck AWAY!! *buries his face on the pillow*
Alexis; 8sighed and slowly left the room8
Nightingale: *sobs hard*
Alexis; 8held his hand over his heart8
*soon Thrax, Hecro n Drix came in*
Hecro: Hey, Lex. How's ur boyfriend doing?
Alexis; Traumatized.
Drix: It's understandable. He suffered quite a bit frm the attack
Alexis; 8sighed8
Hecro: *turns to Thrax* Wanna talk to him? Ur technically his old man as well
Thrax; 8nods and enters the room8
Nightingale: *bk facing the door, not knwing Thrax has come in*
Thrax; Night/
Nightingale: *hears him n recognize the voice, bt doesnt turn ard*
Thrax; 8closes the door8 We need to talk.
Nightingale: *a long pause before he reply* Abt wht? There's nothing to talk abt
Thrax; How about the way you're acting/
Nightingale: Wht abt it?
Thrax; You can't think a few scars are gonna change who you are/
Nightingale: It sure made me a freak right now, n besides I'm gonna lose my job with this abomination. How am I gonna afford my condo now? I evn promised Alex tht...tht I would help him n his bros get a spot at the condo...Now it's all pointless...
Thrax; Alexis doesn't care about that.
Nightingale: Sure. Make me feel better by saying tht no one minds a scar-filled freak. EVERYONE does, more so if its a germ. Trust me. I lived in the dark side of the moon long enough to knw tht NO ONE is tht nice
Thrax; You've been in the dark too long my boy.
Nightingale: *covers his eyes, trying to hold bk tears* Dont pity me...I dont need it...
Thrax; It's not pity but concern.
Nightingale: I don't want tht either. I'm...I'm not worth it...
Thrax; You are, you may only be Ozzy's son but that makes you mine as well.
Nightingale: *bit his lip*
Thrax; Please we only wish to help.
Nightingale: *turns to face Thrax, tears flowing out of his eyes*
Thrax; 8stroked his cheek8
Nightingale: *grabs Thrax n sobs on his chest*
Thrax; 8held him close stroking his hair8
Nightingale: I'm ugly...I'm gonna be ugly for the rest of my life...Alex will hate me n leave me for someone else...I just knw it... *sobs reli hard*
Thrax; He won't, he maybe a wild boy but he knows where his heart lies.
Nightingale: U...U sure...?
Thrax; 8nods8
Nightingale: *wipes his tears away* O...OK...I believe u...
Thrax; 8patted his sholder8
Drix: *peeks in* Everything alright in there now?
Thrax; Yeah.
Drix: Can he *jerked his head at Alexis* come in now?
Thrax; 8nods8
Drix: *gestured for Alexis to go in*
Alexis; 8slowly comes in8
Nightingale: *looks up at him sadly, a little embarassed at his outburst*
Alexis; 8slowly sat with him8
Nightingale: *takes Alexis' sleeve* I'm...I'm sorry...
Alexis; 8knealt in front of him8
Nightingale: I'm sorry...for being such an ass... *tears running dwn his cheeks*
Alexis; 8wiped his tears away and kissed him softly8
Nightingale: *kisses him bk*
Thrax; 8smiled at the two8
Drix: Aww, isnt tht cutest thing?
Thrax; 8nods8
Drix: It's abt time u come clean with ur father. U cant hide forever
Thrax; He's right Night.
Nightingale: *looks away* He's got enough trouble as it is, I dont want to burden him with the thought of nvr being there for me or nvr knwing tht I existed
Alexis; You're not alone, my brother's still beating himself up.
Nightingale: Which one? U've got so many
Alexis; Jules, the eldest.
Nightingale: Why? Wht is he beating himself up for? U guys r doing OK
Alexis; 8told him about Jules guilt trip8
Nightingale: Oh my
Hecro&Drix: *feel for him*
Thrax; 8sighed8
Nightingale: I...I guess there are ppl worse off than I am
Alexis; So don't doubt yourself.
Nightingale: *looks at his bandages* I wont be pretty anymore. Does it bother u?
Alexis; I never cared about your looks.
Nightingale: But u wouldnt have liked me if I wasnt pretty in the first plc
Alexis; It was your voice that got me.
Nightingale: *looks at him, then blushed, smiling* If I couldnt sing, would u still have noticed me then?
Alexis; 8nods8
Nightingale: *leans on him* I love you
Alexis; Love you to.
Hecro: Well *sees the time* It's almost lunch hour. Wanna go to Oz's plc to grab a bite?
Alexis; 8looked at Night8
Nightingale: U guys can go. I'm not officially discharged yet. I can wait. Just get take out for me? Say I want my usual. Hospital food sucks big time
Thrax; 8chuckles8 No kidding.
Drix: SHall we?
Alexis; 8to Night8 Will you be ok/
Nightingale: I'm cool. I got Sprite to look aftr me
Alexis; 8nods8 We'll be quick.
Nightingale: *smiles n kisses Alexis' cheek*
Alexis; 8kissed him back then left with the others8
Hecro: Sprite? Who's tht?
Drix: It's our mute friend, remember? The hospital gave him tht nickname because he always enjoyed Sprite than any other fizzy drinks
Thrax; 8sweatdropped8
*they soon drove dwn to Frank's Diner, where Oz was on waiter duty n Leah on kitchen duty, both of them moving at top speed, especially Oz in his skates*

Leah; 8cooked up a storm8
Ozzie: So, how's ur boyfriend doing, Lex? Alright?
Alexis; He's recovering.
Ozzie: Well, say hi to him for me *hears the ding of the orders up* Ah, order's ready *rolled on his skates to get the orders n back again*
Thrax; Thanks baby.

Drix: Agreed, evn the food tastes so much better than before now
Leah; Hey.
Drix: I didn't mean tht, darling. Ur cooking is wonderful, now it's ten times wonderful *smiles at her*
Leah; Hmph. 8ducked back inside8

Ozzie: Guess wht? A guy who works at a reli rich firm who dined here this morning asked us to cater for them for the next three mths for their staff while they're on some sort of training, all expenses covered. Isn't tht cool?
Thrax; That's great baby.
Ozzie: Yup. Great chance to show off our stuff for the high-ups, eh, Leah girl?
Leah; Yeah, yeah.

Nightingale: Oh, thank Hector. I'm starved *opens the container n munched away* Mmm...their food are the best
Alexis; No joke.
Nightingale: How's Dad doing?
Alexis; Business is booming.
Nightingale: Good ol' Dad. Probably knws how to make a nuclear submarine out of toilet paper if he put his mind to it *laughs*
Alexis; 8chuckled8
Nightingale: I'm still troubled. I dunno how to break it to Dad abt me. We lived in different bodies, so there's no problem abt tht, bt now tht we do, it's...kinda awkward
Alexis; You'll need to face it.
Nightingale: Easier said than done
Alexis; 8stroked his hair8
Nightingale: *sighs* Sometimes I wish I was nvr born. Things would've been much easier
Alexis; Humans are a fickled bunch.
Nightingale: *rolls his eyes* And we have to pay for their sins
Alexis; Reasons why I like being a virus.
Nightingale: Well, I wouldnt put it tht way...
Alexis; 8shrugged8
Nightingale: *cuddles against Alexis* I'm scared
Alexis; Of what/
Nightingale: Of everything. Of Dad knwing the truth abt me n wht his reaction will be
Alexis; He'll understand.
Nightingale: *sighs n nods*
Alexis; 8kissed him gently8
Nightingale: *returns his kiss, wrapping his arms ard him*
Alexis; 8purred8
Nightingale: Oh Hector, I feel like I wanna do it with u, right here, right now...bt I cant. We're in the hospital
Alexis; Yo won't be here long.
Nightingale: Yeah, i knw. Bt I am going to make u fuck me senseless once we get out
Alexis; 8smirked8
