The Other Who Loved Him

:Trigger Warning:

Burt's POV

~~~~~~~~~

I walked down the halls with two cups of coffee. I entered Sven's office and saw him face down on the desk, asleep. I set the cup down on the desk and gently shook Sven. "Sven, wake up, Sven," I said softly. "Wha-hu?" Sven groaned. He sat up and said, "Oh, hi Burt, uh, I just was a little sleepy." "Really," I said flatly, "Come on Sven, go to bed." "No! I have paperwork to do!" "Nope, come on," I said. I walked over to Sven and grabbed him under the arms. I picked him up and started to drag him out of the office. "NOOOOOO! I NEED TO WORK!" Sven shrieked. Sven wrapped his legs around the office chair and tried to grab the back of it. I kept trying to pull him off the chair but realized that it had wheels. I simply dragged Sven and the chair down the hall. "NOOO! LET ME WORK! I NEED TO WORK! SOMEBODY HELP!" Sven screamed. "Oh knock it off," I snapped. Sven began to cough and let go of the chair, he coughed up some blood so I set him down.  "Come on, let's go," I said. I picked Sven up, bridal style, and carried him the rest of the way. I set Sven on the couch and said, "I will do some of your paperwork for you, ok?" "Ok," Sven agreed. "Just relax, your chest will feel better that way," I said, "Don't sneak off and work, please. If you do I will promptly punch you, got it?" "Ok ok!" Sven exclaimed. I walked out of the bedroom and went back to Sven's office, I gathered some paperwork off the desk. I sat down and began to work on the papers. After a little while, a message crackled through my headphones, "Hey, Burt, we need you to come to my office," Reginald's voice said. "All right, on my way," I said into the mic. I got up and walked to Reginald's office. "Ow! No' there!" I heard Right Hand Man's voice say. "Sorry sorry," Reginald's voice said. "OW! THA'S WORSE! QUIT I' QUIT I'!" Right Hand Man shouted. There was a loud electrical zap. I peeked in and saw Right Hand Man and Reginald on the couch. Reginald was trying to repair a huge gash in Right Hand Man's cybernetic arm. "What happened to Right?" I asked. "He was proving he could juggle axes and one hit him. When that happened he flung the others and well," Reginald said and pointed to the wall, there were three axes embedded into it.

I had resaved a call from Reginald telling me to come to his office, when I walked in I saw Burt and Reginald trying to fix Right Hand Man's arm. "What happened to dad?" I asked. Burt pointed to the wall without looking up, there were axes wedged in it. "You tried to juggle axes again didn't you dad?" I sighed. "Yup," Right said, "Reginald, weld the gash shut, I fixed the wiring," Burt said and stepped back. Reginald welded Right's arm back together, "Is that better?" he asked. "Much," Right Hand Man grumbled. "Now you are probably wondering why you are here," Reginald said, "We would like both of you to steer the airship while the rest of the clan goes on a museum robbery." "No problem," Burt said, I nodded in agreement. "Good, now I got some unfin'shed bus'ness to 'ttend to," Right Hand Man said as he got up and began to pull the axes from the wall. "Dad! Don't!" I exclaimed. He began to juggle the axes again but Reginald snuck up behind him and snached the axes, one by one. "No," Reginald said. "Par'y crasher," Right growled and turned around to face Reginald. An evil smirk came across Rights face, he picked up Reginald and threw him in the air. "AAAAAGGGGHHH! RIGHT!" Reginald screamed. Right Hand Man caught the hyperventilating Reginald. Reginald held onto Right for dear life and squeaked, "Never. Do. That. Again!" "Fine, love," Right Hand Man agreed. "It reminds me too much of when Henry almost..." Reginald reminisced "I know," Right interrupted, trying not to bring up any bad memories. He set Reginald down and Burt and I decided to go back to our room.

"What did Henry almost do to Reginald?" I asked. "I'm not allowed to talk about it," Sven replied, "But, you should probably know. As you know Henry almost destroyed Right Hand Man, but he also has almost thrown Reginald off the airship multiple times." "Oh, I didn't know," I said. "Come on, let's get back to work," Sven said. "You mean I get back to work, not us," I laughed. "Fine, I am kind of tired anyway," Sven said. I walked Sven back to our room and made him cozy on the couch. "Try to sleep a little," I said. Sven yawned and said, "I will." I left him to rest and went back to my office. I began to organize files and sort through paperwork, I filled in the many things needed. After an hour or two of work, I got up to go check on Sven. He was out cold on the couch, I smiled to myself and tucked the blanket tighter around him. I kissed him gently on the forehead and keep sleeping. I made him a cup of tea for when he woke up and set it on the end table. I returned to my office to go through some old files. I dug through an old filing cabinet until I found the files belonging to T.R.N.K. I set them aside for later and decided to take a rest. I got out my phone and began playing a battle game. I played until Carol Cross entered with some more paperwork. I sighed and began to work on them, I checked the time, it was three in the afternoon. I finished the paperwork and considered taking the rest of the day off, but I needed to help Sven out so I decided against it. I got myself another cup of coffee and kept working.

I woke up and yawned, Burt had left me a cup of tea so I got up to heat it up. I put the mug of tea in the microwave and turned it on. I waited for a minute and then took the mug out of the microwave. I sat back down on the couch and began on some work that I had smuggled in. I heard the door open and looked up expecting Burt, it was Gremlin. "Gremlin!?! How did you get in here!?!" I exclaimed and jumped to my feet. "I have my ways," she smirked, "Now, lets get to work." "W-what?" I asked. She walked up to me so I stepped back, I kept walking back until she pinned me against the wall. "I loved you and you choose someone else over me!" Gremlin snarled, "Now, you belong to me!" "S-stop!" I sqeaked. "Nope," she said and she kissed me. I tried to struggle but Gremlin was a lot stronger. "L-let me g-go!" I screached. "No I don't think so. Burt doesn't love you, but I do," Gremlin said. That felt like a hit to the chest, I burst out coughing. "Now, if you let go of your fake lover you can be with me," she said seductively. "No! I will never betray Burt!" I exclaimed. "He is only pretending to love you to please your fathers. He doesn't love you and never will, the only reason he is pretending to love you is because he doesn't want your fathers to be upset," Gremlin explained. Tears began to roll down my face and my chest felt like I had inhaled twenty cotten balls. "He. Doesn't. Love. You," Gremlin said. I fell to my knees and Gremlin kissed me again. I tried to punch her but she held me down and laughed. I wimpered as she kissed my neck and face, I wanted Burt to burst though the door and knock her block off. "Burt! Someone! Help me!" I shouted.

Something was off so I decided to check on Sven again. I heard Sven's far off voice shout, "Burt! Someone! Help me!". "What the hell?!?" I said to myself, I picked up the pace. "Help please!" I heard Sven's voice again. I began to run, Carol came out of nowhere and said, "Hey Burt can you-" I kept running. I flung open the door of my room, Gremlin was ontop of Sven. "Burt! Help me!" Sven screamed. I saw red, I ran to Sven and Gremlin punched her. Gremlin flew acrost the room and I punched her repeatedly. "YOU LITTLE BITCH!" I shouted. Sven dragged me off her and set gently slapped me. I inhaled and exhaled trying to calm down. I called Right Hand Man and Reginald. They came running and Sven cried, "S-she almost r-raped me." Right Hand Man was very angry and grabbed Gremlin, he dragged her out. I followed them with Sven in my arms, Right threw Gremlin off the airship. Sven was sobbing into my shoulder and asked, "You aren't pretending to love me just to please my dads, are you? "What! No! Did she tell you that?" I exclaimed. Sven nodded and I kissed him gently, "Shh, none of what she said is true. I love you so much." We kissed again.
