"Perry?" Ferb asked "whats wrong?"
Perry turned and looked up at Ferb. The agent was silent, until he held his arms out like a toddler.
Ferb knelt and scooped him up, cradling him into his chest.
"Ferb...?" Perry finally asked
"yea?" Ferb replied
"I'm crazy aren't I?"
Ferb immediately knew what he was talking about and sighed
"does he love you to?"
"does it matter?" The mammal asked softly
"thats all matters Perry" Ferb informed him "if you don't know, you can never deal with it. You need to know. If he doesnt, then you can move on. If he does, then work from there"
Perry remained silent, and Ferb held him in silence, turning around to return to Phineas. The mammal moved to leave, and Ferb grinned and tightened his grip on him
"you can't hide forever Perry" he whispered "I tried. It doesn't work"
Perry sighed heavily, and squirmed again.
"lemme go! I look so undignified like this" he exclaimed
Ferb laughed and released the mammal, whom climbed up onto his shoulder and sighed heavily.
"Ferb" he heard Phineas complain "where's Ferb"
Ferb immediately broke into a run and stopped only when he reached Phineas' bedside.
Perry jumped off Ferbs shoulder and leaned over his owner worriedly.
"Phin?" Ferb asked
Phineas' eyelids fluttered tiredly
"baby..." he trailed off "...kick..." his eyelids fluttered again and he finally fell asleep
Ferb smiled softly, and saw Heinz lingering by the door. He grinned deviously at Perry and turned, walking over to Heinz. He stuck out his hand and grinned
"Hello. I'm Ferb"
Heinz took it gratefully, and said
"I'm Heinz"
"good to meet you" Ferb grinned, his eyes sparkling mischeviously "so your the one Perry is smitten with"
Heinz' cheeks turned a deep red and he coughed nervously. Before he could reply Ferb was hit in the back of the head with a pilow.
"stop talking" the platypus demanded "now"
Ferb grinned and said
"So, Heinz, how do you f-" he was tackled to the ground by a blushing Perry, whom clamped a hand over his mouth
"Talk to him Perry" Ferb hissed, but it came out as a bunch of garbled noises
Perry looked up at Heinz and sighed
"walk wih me?"
Heinz nodded slowly, and Perry climbed off of Ferb whom snickered softly.
