Chapter 07 Hurt feelings
Quanktumspirit: "Please review. And an update means I am back in GB. Hurray. :)."
With Perry the Platypus back at his owners' house.
Perry was sitting for 2 days now, curled up in his bed. His heart was racing, and his mind was spinning. Did Heinz now like him? Even love him?
Perry didn't know, he knew what love looked like, it is when two people care deeply about each other. Perry knew he cared about Heinz, and Heinz back to him.
But with Patrick Allen being there, Perry didn't know if he and Heinz could reach a happily ever after.
At home, he saw Phineas and Ferb watching him, they both have lost their smiles since Perry got home with an upset look. It was like the 3 of them had happiness linked to each other, Perry to Phineas, Ferb to Phineas and then Ferb back to Perry.
"Perry, what is going on, buddy? Hu? Have you hurt any part of your body?" Phineas asked.
He tried stroking over the sulking platypuses back, but Perry pulled back and hung his head. It was true, his heart was hurting him.
Perry wanted nothing more to do than to just end his life. To no longer feel this burning and longing to see Heinz again. But he couldn't think of a way how he could leave, especially his beloved owners, behind. He wanted to live, and he wanted to be with Heinz, but how when he is a platypus and Heinz a human.
Ferb looked around the room, "I know how to make him a bit happier. Perry, please... Please explain to us what's going on. Let us discuss this pain out."
Perry nodded his head, he could do that. Perry looked around the room and found a sketch pad and a few pens. He sighed and first explained to them his job at the OWCA and that Heinz Doofenshmirtz was his nemesis.
Phineas and Ferb gave Perry their life oaths to tell no one about it. Perry thanked them and then explained the actual problem.
"Well, Phineas and Ferb. I've been starting to see my nemesis in a different light. Instead of hating him, I'm... Starting to enjoy my days with him. My first day was; as he tortured me one evening and forced me to be a 'sheep' to help him sleep. Then he apologized from the bottom of his heart that I had pain in my body, and he massaged the pain back out again. The next day I had my day off and enjoyed playing with you two, remember? Day 4 I was confronted by a 'gay man' at Heinz's home, by the name of Patrick Allen... As I saw that Australian man in his room, I know Heinz must have fallen for a human being. He and Patrick must be together now and enjoying life." Perry wrote out and then sulked again.
Ferb blinked, "Well Perry... Did Mr Doofenshmirts ever tell you that he was seeing someone else other than you?"
Perry shook his head, 'No.'
"Did Heinz ever tell the man that he loves him?" Phineas asked, as he caught on; to what Ferb was talking about.
Perry paced a bit on his two webbed feet, no, that wasn't it either.
Phineas grinned, "Then you have no proof that Heinz and; Patrick you said the other man is called? You have no proof that they both are officially together. Maybe Heinz is just being a friend to him and offering his place for his stay?"
Perry looked at Phineas, and then back to Ferb. Both boys poked their heads out of the door to make sure no one was looking at them. Then they opened the door wider.
"Go on Perry. Go back to Heinz's home and find out the truth about it. Find out if Heinz really likes Patrick or you more. Plus, if they both do like each other, than I'm sure you can still stay friends with Heinz. Like us and the Gang," Ferb offered.
Perry smiled a little bit and nodded his head. That was a good idea. He motioned for the boys to close the door again because he has his own exit ways. He left the room, entered the kitchen... Good, no one was there.
Perry pulled on a hatch and jumped inside it, leading straight to his lair. Without ringing MM up about this, Perry jumped into his car and drove down to Heinz's home.
Phineas and Ferb poked their heads out of the window and watched the teal colored car of their 'pet' drive away.
"Good luck Perry." They called and closed the window.
Perry drove around the town for a short while. He was trying to sort his thoughts out before confronting Patrick and Heinz.
'Hey, Heinz... So... Who is that Patrick guy? Is he now your boyfriend? I... I thought we both were on a good term with each other... Well to be honest with you Heinz... I've had these love feelings bubbling inside of me for quite a while. I... Heinz, I think I have fallen in love with you... W... Would you do me the honor of being my boyfriend?' Perry thought.
He shook his head; that was way too cheesy. Perry sighed, he hoped that Heinz would do the talking and let him only nod and pick a few of his words out to express his feelings. But with Patrick there? Perry was sure he would run for the hills.
That Patrick is a good-looking fella, clearly gay, and a human. He can offer Heinz Doofenshmirtz far more things than a little platypus ever could. Perry banged his head on his steering wheel, this was just too confusing. He and Heinz needed a serious discussion if the problem is ever going to leave the world. Perry then arrived at Heinz's flat and looked up, well now or never.
With Heinz.
Heinz was seated for almost 2 days on his couch. His heart was burning still remembering that sudden kiss. Patrick had apologized to Heinz for just trying to force the truth out of them both, but Heinz said he wasn't blaming him, he would cope if Perry shot his love feelings down.
Patrick nodded and resumed reading a book he bought for himself. And Heinz remained staring at a blank wall, Norm the Giant robot man was in the kitchen, cooking dinner.
Just then the door knocked, Heinz poked his head up confused, Patrick placed a bookmark on the page he was at, at the moment and grinned.
"I'll get it, Heinz." He offered and walked up to the door.
Heinz just nodded and sulked more. Norm resumed working in the kitchen and Patrick looked through the spy hole as to who would visit them at this hour. As he saw the small Platypus with the brown fedora on, his face lit up.
'Perfect.' Patrick thought and opened the door.
"Wilkommen to Dr Heinz Doofenshmirts Zuhause, mein guter Herr," Patrick said in a very bad German accent. (Welcome to Dr Heinz Doofenshmirts home, good sir.)
Perry blinked and glared at him, "Ggrrrrrrrrr." (Don't overdo it.)
Heinz sighed as Perry walked in, he watched his 'friend' sit in the chair opposite of him, and then he pressed on his collar, so his speech can be more clearly understood. Heinz nodded his head, they had a lot of talking to do if this problem was ever going to get out of this world.
Perry looked first to Patrick and then back to Heinz, seeing as neither of them was beginning, Perry decided to start.
"So... Heinz, what is going on in the past few days?" Perry asked.
Heinz banged his head, "Nothing much, Agent Perry. I had a nice holiday with the other LOVEMUFFINS a few days ago. Met Mr Allen there, and seeing as he wanted to stay a few more days in Danville and couldn't afford another room in the hotel, I offered him my place. That's pretty much it."
Perry blinked and looked back to Patrick, "So you two... Aren't together? At all?"
"That is correct, Perry. I've been married to my husband for a few years. Benji Allen. And I love my man with all my heart. Heinz may be a 'good citizen' in some ways, but he's not my type of guy. And sorry if I overdid it with the kiss at the beginning," Patrick explained.
"Yes, there was something else. Why did you force me and Heinz to kiss anyway? How did you know we liked each other in that way?" Perry asked and gave Patrick a slight glare.
Patrick sighed, "I could see in both of your eyes and the body language that you two wanted to be close to each other. In whatever way, however, your minds were preventing both of you from doing the first step. So I wanted to unleash both feelings between you two and that way, maybe gets you two to confess to your love emotions."
Perry blushed, now the forced kiss made sense. Heinz's own face matched a red rose as well, and he nodded his head.
But suddenly Perry shook his head, "I... I'm sorry, Patrick, but you got the wrong idea of me and Heinz."
Heinz looked up shocked and stared at Perry: 'No... Please, no Perry.'
Patrick blinked, "I beg your pardon?"
"We are enemies, and nothing more," Perry explained.
His eyes suddenly turned to red and he left again. Heinz collapsed on the ground and screamed, Patrick quickly jumped up and caught the distraught, and heartbroken Scientist.
"No, no, no, please tell me this is just a bad dream," Heinz screamed and shook.
Perry ran from Heinz's building as fast as he could. He didn't want to see Heinz again, for whatever the cost.
Heinz didn't stop screaming, his pulse shot into the ceiling and he shook. Patrick was getting worried and quickly phoned for an ambulance.
2 minutes later, Heinz was whisked off to the hospital, in a critical state. Still shaking and in serious pain.
