Chapter 23 - You've Captured My Love, Stolen My Heart

"I'VE GOT IT! I'VE GOT THE PLANS! I-" Roger's voice echoed through the corridor.

I had just been lounging with John and Tim in one of the rooms. I thought it would be nice to introduce them to each other, and they bonded pretty well!

"I think Roger's back," John scoffed. I poked my head through the doorway. Wouldn't you know it, there was an unconscious blonde lying on the floor.

"Dead or sleeping?" Tim asked. I stayed silent, narrowing my eyes.

I nodded my head, "He's breathing."

"Are we just gonna let him lie there?" John came up from behind me.

Tim and I exchanged a look. He cocked an eyebrow, "I'm not getting him."

"Well darling, neither am I!"

"Roger! What the f*ck happened to you?" The three of us stepped out of the doorway to find Brian kneeling next to Rog.

"He will," John pointed at the curly haired man.

I walked closer. Brian perked up, "Don't slap him again, Fred."

"Jeez, calm down Bri. I was just taking this..." I swiped the plans from Roger's limp hand.

Brian picked up Roger. The blonde swung from Brian's right shoulder, "I'll take him up to our room."

"Damn, that's one hell of a black eye!" Tim commented, watching the pair walk towards the elevator. I don't know how Brian carries him so easily! It was such a struggle for both Tim and I to carry him back to the car just yesterday! Maybe Brian dabbles in black matter and magic.

"It has one hell of a story," I smirked. God, when Roger's angry, that b*tch is angry.

I left for Miami's office and gave him the plans. Miami raised an eyebrow, "Where's Roger?"

"Asleep."

"What? Why?"

I shrugged, "There's things he does that no one can explain." I assume it was sleeping gas though. He seems to always fall victim to it!

"Um, okay. Thank you Freddie," Miami dismissed me.

I exited his office and searched for my little Deaky. Today after SoR, we planned to have a little night out together for fun. A date!

Well, it's not a date. I wish it was, but it's not. He's still head over heels for Veronica. I don't get it. She's such a gossip and didn't hesitate to expose Roger like that.

John leaped up from the couch, "Ready Freddie?"

"Of course, dear!"

I was about to trot off with him, but he didn't seem to move, "I was thinking we could invite Brian and Roger. You know, we could all use a break and have fun together."

There goes our "date." Damn, I really wanted to enjoy some time with Deaky alone. But, how could I say no to him?

I feigned a smile, "Sure."

We ascended up from the elevator. I knocked on their door three times. A faint "come in" permeated through the wall.

I gently opened the door. Brian and Roger were cuddling under a blanket on the couch, Roger still asleep. I felt my heart explode at how cute they were! Bri was reading his book as always, that nerd.

Brian rubbed Roger's back. I don't know if it was Brian's doing, but Roger's arms were wrapped around Bri's body. John sweetly smiled, "Aw!"

I glanced at him. He doesn't know how much I want to do that with him. I hated feeling this envy. I hated seeing how happy Brian and Roger looked and only thinking about myself. I feel so selfish, so jealous.
