Endowed Shadows(Boyxboy)

Chapter 22

"Any where you wish."Wesley tilted his head and smiled. I turned to face him and smiled.
"Really? Cool. Okay well first we HAVE to go to New York, I've never ever been there, and there I want to see the Empire State building, and of course... the statue of liberty. I'm climbing that though, definitely!"
"Wesley follows bunny anywheres." He gave me puppy eyes. I got the remaining dishes out of the way, and once the counters were all clean, I dried my hands.
"Good. I'll follow you too." I smiled softly and then said. "Okay well I'm finished here."
"Oh yay."Wesley stood up and grabbed my hand and took Noah's,"let's go outside." He smiled jumping up and down."let's go go go go go!"
"Okay, okay. I mean where, we're like totally surrounded by water?" Noah asked pulling Ralph along. I wonder what their chat was about? No... it's private, between the two of them... but I totally want to know!
"So ooooooo."Wesley looked up at him," let's go up deck and play tag."he grinned and continued to pull us up stairs." Noah raised an eyebrow and then looked at me, accusingly.
"What the hell have you drugged him with?" I chuckled and shrugged.
"Nothing, I was innocently washing up after breakfast." Noah grinned and then turned his attention back to Ralph, whose fingers he'd began to chomp on, hey... there's that look. Okay even if he doesn't know it yet, that is totally a smitten look... maybe I'll keep that to myself as a souvenir for all my hard work. I smiled toward them. He's finally letting him go... it's great!
We made it to the roof and Wesley turned to us and poked Noah,"you're it."he took off running. Noah frowned a little and then tagged me, as he said lightly.
"I've done enough chasing after him, it's your turn so... tag, you're it." I grinned... he's so moved on, amazing what a cheap slap and a good talking to can do. I do believe that with the threat of me taking both Ralph and Wesley away, he'd figured it wasn't worth losing Ralph over. I patted his shoulder and winked.
"Good for you, you've matured." And I ran after Wesley. "Hey, get back here you!"
He looked back at me and started laughing,"can't catch me!"He taunted. I let out a frustrated growl and pushed myself forward.
"Wanna bet on that?" I smirked a little and stopped, folding my arms.
"Nope so hug me."he spun and ran over and hugged me,"my bunny!" I win... I mentally thought. I wrapped my arms around him and whispered against his neck.
"Hop hop." (you):)
"You're adorable." He smiled, and kissed my cheek,"love you so much." I pulled away slightly and held a mischievous glint in my eye as I grinned.
"Really, prove it." I glanced back at Noah and Ralph who'd totally given up on staying with us as a four and gone... well... gone.
"Well people are gone."Wesley smiled at me. "I don't need to prove nothing." I frowned, he's so mean.
"Hey, you have just totally lost what I'd had planned." I sighed and then kissed his cheek. "Come on, why don't we do just do what we should have done the other night, watch a movie and snuggle. Don't you want to snuggle a bunny?"
"Sounds good."he smiled,"I'm not even going to ask what you said to Noah."Wesley took my hand and pulled me to our room, we laid on the bed and Wesley turned on some horror movie."just tomorrow we leave." I sighed a little. I snuggled closer and kept my eyes on the movie, not really watching anymore.
"Yeah."
"Yeah."he smiled at me then started brushing back my hair with his fingers. I suddenly became quite silent, and after glancing around the bedroom, I said quietly.
"Would you like me to get us a drink, and some snacks?"
"I follows you?"He looked at me curiously. And smiled. I sat up and nodded, returning his smile.
"I suppose I should have done this before."
"Done what, get snacks?"Wesley stood up and hugged me,"oh well." I opened the door and walked down the corridor quietly, I don't know why or what... but something is really bugging me. Right to a certain point that I'm not even sure if I want to know. When we got to the kitchen, everyone was seated around the sofa, watching a movie too. They'd prepared their snacks... hey wait... they'd not even invited us to join them. Oh... but I guess this will be it for them when we leave, so maybe they're getting used to it quite early. Three sets of couples, each person now happy... and now it's my turn to feel sad about it. Yet nobody had even asked how I'd feel, not one person. They'd been tip-toeing around the issue because of Noah and Wesley... oh well... I suppose it doesn't matter. At least I'd helped everyone sort out their issues.
I went into the kitchen and pulled out a lot of snacks, then put them all into one large bowl, and began walking back to the bedroom.
Wesley caught them and sighed then shrugged,"oh well." He said again, then kept walking away. He kept his head down the whole time. I frowned a little and called after him, quietly.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm slightly disappointed, but if that's how they deal with me leaving then alright." He smiled slightly,"at least I have you Luca. I don't know what I would do if you decided to leave me."
I ran up the small way between us and took his hand gently. "Wesley, I doubt they're going to stop living because of this... if you'd have remained 'dead' I'm pretty certain they wouldn't have acted normal. Those amazing people in there know you're far too stubborn to change your mind, so they won't put their lives on hold. Noah did that, and you forced him to move on... let's just be happy at the fact we're all alive... kind of, and also..." I gave him a tiny kiss on his nose, then traced his jawline as a cheeky grin caught my mouth. "I'd be an idiot if I remained here and didn't travel with you on great adventures. I mean, come on... the chances of running into zombies on a ship is... nil. They seem magnetised to you, so I'm definitely following you... duh."
He smirked and kissed my cheek,"love you Luca, and I have a reason to leave. I don't like living in fear plus I want to clear an area so that everyone can live on land again. That's my idea and I'm glad you'll help."
"Well it's a good idea, and who knows... we could end up running into them all in the future. Nobody can predict that... not really." I began to walk the rest of the way to the room backwards, a smile on my face. To be honest I quite like the idea of wreaking havoc on... well wherever, it'll be fun and who better to experience it with, than Wesley?
"Come on, let's watch this movie." I jumped up slightly in excitement. This is going to be fun.
"Alright, sweaty he he sweaty." He started to laugh.
We finally came back to the room and once Wesley was inside, I shut the door and locked it... don't judge me, it's for safety... not mine, Welsey's. I turned to face into the room and stalked toward the bed, taking up my position from before to settle down and watch the remaining part of the film.
Wesley walked over and sat beside me then wrapped his arms around me.
"Mine." He said. I gave a tired chuckle and wrapped my arms over his, then leaned back to kiss his cheek, whispering.
"Always."
