No-One But You (The Zephyr Endeavor) - Part 2
Chapter 98: Prince of Darkness (Part 8)
…
So, no joke on this, but Ezekiel Stane slept for like… two days? Yeah, it was probably close to two days at this point in the story.
…
He was such a snuggle bug too, and it broke Wade Wilson's heart whenever his precious Shiny would suddenly wake up in tears.
That "baby" Jackal was in a reeeeaaaalllyyy bad mental state, and witnessing all of that crippling depression was friggen rough. He kept waking up at random too… soaked with sweat and tears, and he barely ate anything on top of that.
Wade went out and bought him some "real food" as soon as he could, and he absolutely had to call Charles Xavier at least ten times over the course of two days.
Things finally seemed super cool between the two of them, because everyone's favorite mutant freak-shrink never failed to accept his call.
The merc wanted to keep him updated on Ezekiel's condition, and… Wade also had to tell Xavier how he was feeling. He started it off by saying he was feeling GUILTY, and horrible at least a million times.
So, before long… "Professor X" gave the mercenary some good advice about helping Ezekiel get through his brutal spell of depression, and it made sense that he was going through a heightened state of grief.
…
"I think I've told you this, but he's been like this before… uhh, back when he first started staying here? Did I tell you? It was right after we… hooked up?"
…
Did that matter? Wade felt AWKWARD AS FUHHHK telling Xavier that information, but he needed to understand what was really happening to his quiet coyote.
Xavier only responded to the subject by stating that sex was a powerful thing, which made things even more awkward for Wade, cuz duh…
OH and apparently, Ezekiel's mind was on overload, and Charles seemed to think he was doing something to himself in order to keep everyone else OUT of his head.
That was just "speculation" tho… because Xavier didn't have access to Ezekiel's mind anymore, and no one was sure how that was even possible.
Hmm. Wade was sitting allll alone outside his house as he spoke to Charles on the phone. It was super late at night too, and the moon looked all bright and beautiful.
The mercenary glanced back at the house, then he told Xavier that his ass was getting numb…
Wade needed to head back inside and get some sleep himself. He even tried to get Ezekiel to go OUTSIDE earlier as well, so he could get that healthy thing called… sunshine? Ever heard of it?
Well, Ezekiel spent a lifetime of living indoors, unfortunately, so going outside wasn't really his thing.
When you look back and think about it… that young man barely left the "box" he's been in since he was a kid. Now all he did was sleep, eat three bites of food, then take a shower.
Wade figured that's all he COULD DO… in fact, he just took another shower not too long ago, maybe to wash away another batch of stress.
…
How fucking tragic. Wade was beyond upset with himself, so he thanked Xavier for his time and headed back in the house.
The merc stripped down to his slacks after he entered the bedroom, and he joined Ezekiel on the bed for the hundred millionth time. It seemed like that quiet coyote was sound asleep once again.
His hair was super soaked too… after taking yet ANOTHER shower, but he also looked as snug as a bug in a rug.
Wade just looked at him for a long while, then…those razor sharp eyes slowly opened up.
Ezekiel looked straight into Wade's soul in that moment, and whoooo boy… the mercenary felt the jitters. He didn't expect him to be awake, and it looked like his nerves had calmed down a little bit.
…
"It must be hard, being with someone like me."
…
Ezekiel had said a total of …. twenty words? Was it twenty? No, he said around twenty five words total since Wade returned to the land of the living and showed up at the house.
What he said was pretty alarming too, so Wade was really freaking out. He moved in a half inch closer, and he thought over how to respond to Ezekiel's self-harming comment.
…
"It's only hard when I make it hard…and acting like a baby bitch and ditching you in Brooklyn was probably the most epicness of fails that I've made in this relationship yet."
…
Ya feel me? Wade had to roll his eyes at himself. Ezekiel thought over what he said, and his eyes started migrating down the line of Wade's chest.
He wasn't wearing a shirt, and that was … uhh…
…
"Oh wait… challenging Doctor McFuck-Face was probably my biggest failure too. I had him on the run tho, with your help. SO let's see… what else have I done to royally fuck this up…"
…
LOL. Doom still had it coming. Wade wasn't dead yet FUCKER, so get ready. The merc planned to haunt that gypsy trash bag for years…
OHHHH LOOK. A small baby smile formed on Ezekiel's cute little face, and Wade's temperature flared up as soon as he saw it. It felt like he was getting somewhere with that comment, and YES he hella noticed where the quiet coyote's eyes started looking.
Those eyes were scanning alll over Wade's sexy face and skin, and the mercenary could tell immediately that his cute lil fiancé was getting hungry for something sexy…
…
Ooohhh, Wade moved in a little bit more, but not too much, cuz he didn't forget that they were back to square one. The baby Jackal's eyes scanned a little lower than his chest… then something Wade said suddenly crossed his mind.
Ezekiel didn't dare comment on what was said at first. He thought it was a peculiar joke or something when he first heard it. The Jackal's processing power was also shit when Wade showed up at the house, but he'd been thinking about what he said for quite a while.
…
"Wade, did you actually say that you were wearing Captain America's… underwear?"
…
HAH. Oh yeah. The mercenary laughed out loud for sure after Ezekiel's delicate voice picked up a bit, and THAT QUESTION WAS EPIC AS FUHK.
…
"HAHAaaaaa. YEAH. Ohhhhhh yes, Steve Rogers gave me some of HIS clothes to wear before I left Tony's nerdy chop shop, including his underwear... and, I still have the goods if you want me to put them back on…"
…
Wade's grin was enormous, and it was definitely affecting Ezekiel's mood. The baby Jackal's smile opened up a little more and oooohhh Wade loved seeing that. The mercenary made sure his voice and behavior was all flirty too, friendly, and friggen charming.
Ezekiel took a moment to look him allll over. It felt good to hear him speak, crack his jokes, and the baby Jackal was beyond grateful to have him there, right beside him.
It made things feel … special, and good. His mind, body, and soul started feeling good again, so the quiet coyote moved in a little close.
…
He wanted to touch Wade's skin, and feel… stuff. Ezekiel's attention reached the mercenary's mouth after a bit, and he started staring at his lips.
…
Oh OH OHHHhhh, yes… you can kiss me, Shiny. Come on. Come on little Jackal. Wade was sooo beyond catching onto what Ezekiel clearly wanted to do, and they couldn't possibly get any closer.
Wade started gently messing with Ezekiel's hair on his left side. He fixed it a bit, and he noticed that it was getting kinda long. Ezekiel actually had that sandy brown kind of tone to his hair. It was just a few shades between light brown and blonde, but not super light… does that make sense? Whatever, Wade was just observing.
The silence was beginning to get to Wade juuusttt a little bit, and Ezekiel could sense how bad it was getting. The infamous Deadpool clearly had ants in his pants in that moment, and the baby Jackal wanted to explore it.
He needed to explore all of that rapid fire energy the mercenary was always dishing out, so he dipped in close to Wade and gave him a gentle kiss.
Easy does it now. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
They started getting into some super gentle … fluffy cutie-pie kissing stuff, so Wade kept repeating that mantra in his mind over and over.
He absolutely had to repeat that shit TO THE MAX, because he was doing everything he could to resist resist reesssissst the impulse to friggen pounce.
