Keep Dreaming Up Ways to Survive

Chapter 11

Felix and Dawson just hung out and talked for hours, until they heard a small whining.

"Dawson! You mind taking care of Wyatt?" Octavia yelled from downstairs.

When Felix heard her say that he looked at Dawson and asked excitedly, "Can I go look at him?"

"Yeah, sure?" Dawson said casually.

He ran out of the room and started opening all the doors until he found the baby.

"Hi, baby! Little Wyatt..." Felix cooed at the baby.

Dawson walked into Wyatt's room and saw Felix gushing over his brother.

"Do you like babies?" Dawson questioned as he cracked a smile.

"Yeah, I like babies! Is he- am I able to hold him? Is his head still sensitive?" Felix asked, looking back at Dawson anxiously.

"He's fine, might be scared of you though." Dawson shrugged.

Felix slowly lowered his hand down to Wyatt and the baby looked at him with curiosity. As he picked Wyatt up, he saw the long scar on the side of the baby's small head.

"Poor kid..." Felix whispered, slightly grazing the scar.

"Come on Felix, put him down let's go back to my room." Dawson huffed.

"Ok, let's go," Felix said, reluctantly putting the baby back down.

Dawson and Felix walked back to his room and sat on Dawson's bed. They just sat there in heavy silence, bored out of their minds.

"So, what now?" Felix sighed.

"I feel as if we should be practicing our powers, honestly we should be doing it every day." Dawson advised.

"Ok... uh... you can go first!" Felix exclaimed anxiously.

"You have to go first because when I possess I get migraines, you know that." Dawson declared.

"Well... I don't think it will even work! I know that it won't be sincere! You're just saying it to make the globs come out..." Felix grumbled.

Ugh, you're so needy! Lets just watch some YouTube on my computer." Dawson proposed.

"Ok, I guess."

After a while of watching YouTube videos, Dawson realized Felix was shivering.

"Hey, you cold or something?" Asked Dawson.

"No, I'm fine." Felix said in his most convincing voice.

Dawson let out a sigh and said, "if you're cold just say so, I don't care if you want my cover."

Dawson threw his blanket on top of Felix and continued to watch the video, Felix wrapped himself up with it and side eyed Dawson. When he saw how nice Dawson was being towards him, it made his heart flutter and his stomach twist.

"Oh Jesus, Dawson!" Felix gagged.

"Oh! Uh... use this! Dawson scrambled, shoving a water bottle into his hands.

"How?!" Felix screamed, holding the glob down in his gut.

"Just spit in it!" Dawson commanded.

Felix went from scared to surprised but then he spit up the glob in the bottle. Then he screwed the cap back on and handed it to Dawson.

"For safekeeping."

"Thanks, anyway why did you make that weird face?" Dawson asked as put the bottle on the ground.

"Oh yeah! I held it in! It felt so strange, but it didn't burn as bad as it did when I let it out! This is good, I might be able to control it!" Felix said beaming with excitement.

Dawson gave a genuine smile when seeing Felix so happy. He started petting Felix's hair and said, "Congratulations, I'm so happy for you Felix!"

Felix adored the euphoric feeling of having someone care for him, mostly when it's Dawson. He was even feeling it right now but it is always followed by suffering.

"Dawson.." Felix said quietly, cringing from the pain.

"Felix. You are going to hold it in for me," Dawson said switching into a more serious tone of voice, as he also put his hand over Felix's mouth. "If you don't hold it in you'll burn my hand off and I know you don't want to do that, so try your best."

Felix flexed his stomach muscles to keep it down, it was kind of working until he felt a stinging sensation. It gradually turned into a burning one and he got more worried, he knew he couldn't do it anymore.

"Dawson, I can't hold it anymore... it hurts..." Felix whimpered, removing Dawson's hand from his mouth.

"Sorry... here." Dawson replied solemnly, handing Felix the bottle he had used earlier.

Felix spit up the glob and laid his head onto Dawson's shoulder. Dawson gently rested his hand on Felix's stomach as a silent apology, then he let Felix rest for 30 minutes.

"You hungry? I am, let's go get something to eat." Dawson said, answering for Felix, as well as pulling him up off the bed. He led Felix down stairs to put on his shoes, that's when he saw Octavia and Wyatt playing.

"Hey, me and Felix are going to eat out. Is that ok?" Asked Dawson.

"Yeah, that's fine. Just text me if you're going to be late. Oh, and don't get yourself or your friend kidnapped!" Octavia reminded him loudly.

"Ok, love you!" Dawson shouted, opening the door.

"Love you!"
