Buddy understood Surly the way Surly understood him, so he gladly kissed back. this time it was Surly who pulled back and Buddy who made a face. "I'm still half blind, but I can see you." Surly explained. Buddy smiled. after a moment he looked confused.
"Surly suh-see's euh-ear-early. wuh-wah-why?" Buddy ask.
"I smacked into a wall the other day. it could have triggered a respons or something." Surly replied. "we are getting off topic." Surly added leaning forward. Buddy smirked and leaned forward too.
*three days later*
Lana was startled as Buddy came running through her kitchean and not even a minute later, Surly came running after him.
"hey! you two!" Lana exclaimed. they ran back to look at her. "I'm making you another apointment assuming you can see." Lana said. Surly smirked at her with a nod. then tapped Buddy with a laugh and took off running.
"cha-chu-cheater!" Buddy exclaimed and ran after him. Lana shook her head at them and called the vet, who said they couldn't get them in for two weeks. she decided that was okay as she watched Surly and Buddy horse around.
"you did not!" Surly exclaimed pouncing on Buddy ,who giggled.
"yuh-yes. pah-purpah-ple is a guh-girl-l cah-co-color." Buddy laughed even as his back hit the floor. Surly wouldn't hurt him, he knew exactly how to jump on him to knock him down without harming him, expecally after years tripping alot. Surly had been a very clumsy kid.
"it is not!" Surly exclaimed flustered. he knew Buddy was only playing but still. Buddy was still laughing and giggling away.
"yuh-yes!" Buddy was holding his sides laughing so hard. Surly's face was flairing bright red, but thanks to his fur it looked like a very bright pink. Buddy, noticing this, only laughed harder. Surly got up and watched Buddy, who was now laughing so hard he was holding his sides. Buddy calmed down and Surly hefted him back onto his feet. they headed back to their temporary room. once there Surly, for some reason, picked Buddy up and swung him around before pulling him to a kiss. he sat him down and looked into his eyes.
"Buddy I love you, but if you ever call me 'girly' or a girl again I will have to kill you." Surly warned. Buddy laughed with a nod. a sudden shout drew their attention and had them curiously running towards it. the sight in the kitchen was not what they expected. there was stuff everywhere. he bird flying around the appartment, having caused the mess trying to get out, hit a bowl on the counter. "Buddy watch out!" Surly shouted jerking Buddy out of the way and sheilding him with his body as pieces of the glass bowl and flour flew everywhere. Surly hissed as he was hit in the back with ,what he assumed was, a peice of glass. once Surly deemed it safe he released Buddy, who instantly had him turn around so he could look at the wound. he whiped flour from the wound gently and Surly tried hard not to tense or hiss.
"Surly bl-lah-leeding." Buddy mumbled. they were suddenly picked up.
"gosh! are you two ok? that crazy bird really made a mess. let me get you out of the glass. Eric sweep that up please." Lana said quickly. she carefully sat them on the counter and looked them over. "Buddy, Surly are you ok?" Lana ask. Buddy nodded at her and pointed to Surly, who turned to show her his back. "ouch! ok lets get both of you cleaned up then take care of that cut." Lana said. the two nodded at her and turned on the kitchen sink. she put the plug in and pointed. "in ya get." Lana said.
"come on Buddy." Surly said and they made their way over to the sink. with a little help from Lana both made it in. Buddy slipped and fell, splashing water everywhere. Surly spit out the water that got in his mouth and huffed at Buddy, who was laughing.
"i'll be right back." Lana told them shutting off the water. "try not to drown each other." Lana added as an after thought before walking away.
"yeah Buddy try not to drown me." Surly said. Buddy laughed and splashed water at his face. Surly huffed and splashed him back, before working on getting the flour off. by the time Lana came back, both were clean of flour and waiting for her. she scooped them up in two washcloths and sat them on the counter before letting the water out. she opened the first aid kit she'd also brought with her and pulled out a few things. she wrapped gauze around his chest and upper back, after cleaning it, in hopes to stop the bleeding. "where's Precious?" Surly ask looking around. Buddy shrugged.
"she's napping in Lana's room." a voice replied. Surly and Buddy turned around and saw ,who Surly knew by her voice was, Livia. Surly hadn't seen her yet so he took a moment to study her before narrowing his eye's slightly.
"Livia I presume?" Surly ask. the female rat nodded and her gaze flickered over to Buddy. Surly stepped infront of him slightly. Livia looked slightly angered by that but said nothing. though she didn't think that Buddy could ever possibly be her brother, she found their friendship disturbing. the way he held Buddy close, the way he tried to protect him, the way he looked at Buddy everything he did. Surly was obviously head over heels in love with Buddy, even if he didnt want to admite it or just didn't see it, and Livia decided she would just have to make them see that two males together was wrong and two different animals together was even worse. Surly noticed the look in her eye's and looked around to make sure Lana and Eric were gone before putting an arm around Buddy's waste pulling him closer. Buddy, noticing the tensen, suspected Surly was protecting him from another heart break and leaned into him. Buddy chuckled when Surly pressed a kiss to his forehead. Surly raised an eyebrow at Livia silently.
"can we help you?" Surly ask noticing the look of disgust in her eyes. she glared at Surly and that was enough for Buddy to want to go and tell her off. Surly, knowing Buddy too well, held him tightly. not hard enough to hurt, or actually restrain him, but tight enough that Buddy got the picture.
"Surly..." Buddy trailed tense and growling slightly. Surly stiffled a chuckle.
"s'not worth it Buddy." Surly replied. Buddy remained tense but eased up and stopped growling.
