No-One But You (The Star Child's Eclipse)
Chapter 43: Daydreamer (Part 3)
…
Yeah, 'cause girls is players too…
…
Ladies gettin' money all around the world…
…
'Cause girls is players too…
…
Wade Wilson was chillin, listening to some tunes on his little music player, and chatting it up with Emily Preston just outside the S.H.I.E.L.D. facility.
Oh, and they might have been taking a few hits off of someone's custom made vape pen, but you're not supposed to know that information.
Wade absolutely had to REMOVE HIMSELF from the friggen FED HOUSE of fail for a second, because being in the S.H.I.E.L.D. facility was beyond annoying.
He didn't like the vibe, and he needed to take the edge off with some WEEEEED…
…
Anyway, the mercenary also friggen caved to Emily's repeat attempts to show him pictures of his daughter Ellie. Remember her?
Wade was trying to forget about her on the down-low, so that little girl didn't end up murdered like her mother…
Ahem.
The merc gently coughed at the thought as he looked over her adorable picture, then he silently put his vape pen back in his handy-dandy utility belt.
Emily was getting a little spaced while they were talking, probably cuz they were hitting that shit a bit too hard.
OH, and before I forget… the former mercenary ALMOST had Wade convinced that he needed to actually see his daughter in person.
Emily invited him to an upcoming soccer game, but…
Uhh, she also told the infamous Deadpool that Ellie was actually "missing out" by not having Wade in her life.
Her tone was pretty preachy too, and that information was kinda hard for the mercenary to take.
I mean, how was SHE missing out?
Wade didn't understand what Emily was saying at all, so he absolutely had to change the friggen subject.
…
"Here. Check this out. I snapped a photo of us this morning, at breakfast… he actually let me snap a pic.."
…
Foo foo.
Wade was hella proud of the picture he got to take with his cute lil "fiancé" that morning, so he quickly shoved his phone in Emily's face.
Ezekiel was a shy one, and he didn't like to take photos. Well, Wade was very persuasive, so he got what he wanted.
Emily had to blink a few times, and she leaned back a bit in order to see the actual picture. She eventually saw a gentle young man sitting directly beside Wade's cheeky grin.
Aww, the young man she saw was wearing a small smile… so the woman had to comment on what she could see.
…
"Ooh now he's a cutie, and he definitely has a thing for you."
…
Wait. What? No shit? Wade's heart just about burst when he heard that information.
It felt like he won the lottery too, because Emily's comment was like a fat batch of "women's intuition," and that shit was worth more than gold.
…
"WHOA, you think so? He's really shy, sometimes, and I can never get that kinda talk out of him."
…
"Oh I know so, Wade. I can see it in his face. He liiiikes you, for sure. Don't you see?"
…
Emily pointed at the picture, and Wade made sure to follow her lead as he glanced back down at the screen.
He saved the picture for a rainy day, and he'd already looked at it a number of times.
Ezekiel was chewing on the corner of a piece of toast in the photo, and yeah… Wade could see his cute little smirk.
It felt like the "quiet coyote" finally admitted something to him, but he said that shit in Spanish. Wait, was it Spanish?
…
Or was it, Swahili?…OH WAIT, HE SAID IT IN TURKISH GIBBERISH.
Wade knew that Ezekiel said something heavy the night before, while they were hooking up, but of course he said it in a different language….
…
"And you clearly like him too… so behave yourself, for once."
…
Emily had her arms crossed like an old mama bear, and Wade absolutely had to laugh at what she said.
I mean, YEAH, he did like Ezekiel Stane… a lot.
Wade never had an issue with expressing how he felt toward anyone, but in THIS situation he was actually holding a lot back, for Ezekiel's sake.
He didn't want to overwhelm him, or do anything that might cause the Stalker Council to SHOW THE FUCK UP…
It kinda haunted the mercenary, since we're being honest.
Wade really wanted to make his budding relationship with Ezekiel work, so he found himself "suppressing" how he felt all the time.
…
The merc hadn't even dropped the "I love you" stuff at that point, because he didn't want to freak him out.
Oh. Wait. Oh wow.
Speak of the devil. Wade swallowed down a thought or two, because he happened to receive a silent alert from Sevgili.
His cute lil coyote sent him a message. His meeting was done and Ezekiel wrote that he wanted to leave.
Leave? Oh Wade was definitely down for that.
…
"He's ready to go. You wanna meet him?"
…
Shit, Wade's body was getting hella hot… so the mercenary pushed his mask up all the way for the time being.
Emily watched that goofy man as his energy perked up even higher, then she said "yes" as he typed up some sort of text message on an invisible screen.
Wade even started talking to himself a little bit, or to some imaginary robot, so the former mercenary simply smiled at what she could see…
