INKNESS | BABTQFTIM | VERY OLD AND VERSION 1

10. A New Quester?

Oswald POV

We had invited Felix and Sheba to stay for breakfast with us as Donald had cooked a lot.

"Thanks for the meal duckers, that was purr-fecto!"

"I know."

Sheba was now standing where she previously sat. If she was already leaving, would that mean O-... Felix would have to go as well? It didn't bother me too much...

"Wait, you're leaving already?"

"Yep! Duty calls Feel!"

I propped myself up with my hand as the Bunny kids crowded around the table once more.

Sheba made her ways away as Felix appeared to be contemplating something. Felix was smiling to himself.

Suddenly he stood up.

"Sheba, wait up!"

It appears he too will be leaving.

Mickey walked up behind Sheba clearly saying a quick goodbye to her.

We see his face flush up, so Donald and I whistle, wiggling our eyebrows at him.

"Two Girls? Nice!"

We stop teasing Mickey as I see Felix standing to my left.

"It was a pleasure meeting you and your lovely kids again Mr Ozzy."

I am confused, why is he calling me Ozzy?

"Ozzy?"

He now seems just as confused as I am.

"I'm sorry, isn't that your name?"

I couldn't stop myself from giggling. But soon that simple, slight giggle transformed into massive amounts of laughter.

I feel bad for laughing but I can't help it.

"I'm so sorry for laughing, it's just... Ozzy is my nickname... My actual name is Oswald."

He flushed up purely out of embarrassment.

"No one calls me that, much. Mostly just my brother and..."

I cut myself off. I really just forgot about Ortensia for a bit... How could I forget her...

I could hear Felix attempting to speak to me, but I only heard a few words.

I need to get myself under control. I flopped my ears down and took a deep breath.

"P-please say something..."

I lean over onto the table. I've got this. I am calm now.

"It's o-okay. I'm fine..."

I open my eyes once more, slowly in fear I'd see her again. But I only see Felix looking at me with concern.

"Y-you sure you're okay?"

I can't believe he keeps on asking me if I'm okay... Normally people other than Mickey ask once and leave it at that... Honestly, it's a bit embarrassing...

I hold onto my ears and slowly bring them to my face, I bet he can tell I'm trying to hide my face due to embarrassment.

"I.... I said I'm fine..."

I keep my eyes on the Oak wood table, I never realized there was a crack where I normally sat. Has that always been there?

There was a silence between me and Felix, Donald clearly must have left otherwise he would have made a snarky remark about my situation here and embarrass me even more than I already am.
