A/N: Ok, kids. Well, school started Thursday and I can tell it's going to be a busy year. I apologize ahead of time if the updates don't come as often. I can most likely gurantee that a new chapter will be up each weekend because that's probably the most time I'll have free to write. Chapters also might start getting a bit longer, depends on what my mood is. :D but enjoy, please do, what I give you!

And now another quick shout out to all my reviewers: YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME! We can break 100 reviews, I know it! You all have given me such happiness, it makes my day soooo much better when I get on and see all these new reviews. Remember, your reviews fuel the fire of my writing and keeps it coming, so keep them up:)


Two weeks passed by with no sight or sound of Willy Wonka. Charlie went through a day with the same routine: he woke up, went to school, returned to the factory and did homework, perhaps a little work before dinner, then had dinner, a little more work, then bed. He did not speak as much either. In many moments of the day, images and feelings of the kiss he had shared with Wonka drifted into his thoughts. He had stopped trying to push them away; they would always come back.

Charlie knew that even if he had heard Wonka around some distant corner, he would not have the courage to confront the eccentric man. What Wonka needed, he had finally concluded, was time and solitude. But Charlie knew that he needed Wonka, to see him, hear his voice, and very soon.

He put down his pencil, finishing the problem he had been working hard on.

The answer was twelve.


Dull and weary violet eyes stared up at the beautifully painted ceiling. It was a vivid array of colors blended together, rolling into each other with no end.

Wonka lay awake in his bed, not quite able to sleep, yet his eyes would occasionally grow heavy and he would have to close them. This was not something new. Sleep had been something out of reach ever since the memorable night with Charlie. When he was lucky enough to fall into the abyss of sleep, dreams of what that kiss could have lead to filled his empty mind. Tonight, however, it was somewhat different…….

"You took a risk by leaving your father to become a chocolatier. You took another risk by opening the largest chocolate factory in the world. You took a risk by visiting exotic places for new flavors. You took a risk by finding the right heir. Has the urge to take another risk left you? Can you not afford one for me?"

Wonka gazed at the boy, opening his mouth to find that he was unable to speak. Charlie came closer and closer until he was able to wrap his arms around Wonka's waist. Wonka stiffened and attempted to pull away, but Charlie's hold was too strong.

"If you can't take that chance, then don't tag me along. Tell me straight out, and I won't bother you like this anymore."

Charlie inched up and placed a kiss on Wonka's cheek. With that, he pulled away and waited for an answer. Wonka received his voice and began to speak.

"Some gambles are good and some are bad, Charlie. Love hurts others; so it's not something I desire. Chocolate is constant. I can trust it because I made it. I know what's in it, there will be no surprises. It won't turn against me. That's the only love I can afford because if my own father didn't love me enough to stay, what hope have I got that you will stay for me?"

"That's where trust comes in."

"How can I trust you when my own parasitic workers turned against me?"

"It's a risk………"

Wonka's eyes shot open and he knew that he would not be able to get back to sleep on his own. He got up from the luxurious bed and stumbled over to his coat hanging on the coat-rack in the corner. In the inner pocket was a small bottle. He read the label and took it with him back to bed. He sprayed his face three times and within only a minute he felt completely tired. As he lay back, the bottle slipped from his hand and hit the floor rolling. A long sleep overcame him.

When the bottle stopped, the label was turned upward, reading: Bedtime (Extra Strength).


Charlie stood at the top of the stairs in the Nut Room. He had not been in this room since his infamous plan had unfurled. He looked out onto the floor to find that all the squirrels had returned, healthy and hard working.

A tugging on his pant leg averted his gaze to look at the tiny man beside him. He bent down to let the Oompa Loompa talk into his ear. As soon as he finished, he followed the Oompa Loompa to the glass elevator and they were off.


Beyond the double doors was uncharted territory for Charlie. It had been forbidden. But now he held the key to these doors, given to him by the tiny helper, and inserted it to unlock the entrance. The Oompa Loompa followed him inside, shutting the door behind them both.

"Where?" Charlie asked quietly.

The man walked ahead of Charlie through the spacious study room, down the hallway, and stopped in front of the closed door at the end of the hallway on the right. Charlie took a deep breath and opened it, trying to savor the moment because he knew he would most likely not get it again.

The door led to the vast and extraordinary private bedroom of Willy Wonka.

Charlie stepped inside, the Oompa Loompa following, and took in the breathtaking space. Large paintings hung on the light blue walls, candles were spread everywhere, some even appeared to be floating, detailed rugs lie on the floor, and there was an amazing, massive bed in the corner of the room. Charlie's eyes fell there, onto the unconscious body lying on the bed.

Charlie rushed over to Wonka, almost knitted his hand with the chocolatier's, but paused. He turned to find the Oompa Loompa right next to him, watching him. Charlie cleared his throat and placed his ear against Wonka's chest. His breathing was even. Charlie then placed his fingertips against Wonka's throat to check the man's pulse. It was steady.

"What did he take?" He did not believe Wonka would overdose on medication or anything……..Would he?

The small helper retrieved the bottle from the middle of the room and handed it to Charlie.

"Bedtime, Extra Strength," Charlie mumbled. He sighed. He knew that the spray had not been tested thoroughly, and figured even Wonka knew that. "Did I cause you that much trouble that you couldn't sleep?" he whispered. He then turned to the Oompa Loompa and handed him the bottle. "Return it to the Inventing Room. I'm sure he wouldn't exceed the three-squirt dosage, so I wouldn't expect him to be awake for another two to three days perhaps. I'll take care of him."

The Oompa Loompa nodded and Charlie thought that he saw a definite grin beginning to form on the petite man's face as he left the room.

Charlie turned back to look upon Wonka. Wonka was dressed in his long robe, and Charlie blushed greatly when he saw that the knot tying the robe had loosened, opening it somewhat. The pallid skin of Wonka's chest was revealed, and Charlie could not help but stare at the flesh hungrily. He watched the rise and fall of it, wanting more than anything to reach out and touch Wonka. He yearned to bow his head down and lick the tender nipple that brought a small spot of color to the skin. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, letting it out slowly.

A soft moan from Wonka caused his eyes to fly open. Charlie watched as Wonka moved slightly about in his sleep, finally settling down again. He looked incredibly peaceful, his brown hair resting against his cheek, a tiny smile prying at the edge of his lips. Charlie had to get up from the bed and step back. He then quickly left the bedroom.

Until he could gather himself, he was not going back in there.
