"I-I-Wha... Oh." Wes was surprised that he still managed to feel some modicum of embarrassment through the terribly defeaning crack of his heart breaking in two. He shrugged, plastering a smile on his face, "No no no, of course not, that would be ridiculous. But anyways-" In his haste to back toward the door, he almost stumbled over the garbage can, "-I have a lot of work to do, so I'll see you later, okay?" With one final smile, he escaped out the door, and mentally freaked out the entire way over to the infirmary. Ben Weaver, he thought, I hope you die in the city, cause if you come back here, I will kill you dead. But it was an empty threat, West would never really hurt anyone. He reached the infirmary and darted for his desk, not even bothering to notice if anyone else was in the room, and dove into his paperwork. He wasn't going to cry. That would be stupid. And childish. And it was his own fault anyways, for going and falling for the man. Of course, he'd never love him back. Of course he wouldn't. And why would he? Wes wasn't cool like Rob, or badass like Alexy, or sweet like Felix. Wes was stupid and childish, and goddamnit, his tears was smudging the ink on his work. --- "I got shot my first time in the city," Ben blurted. Then hastily added, "But that won't happen to any of you guys. I mean, Rob & I, we'll protect everyone. That's what the officers do. Mine, uh-" Shit shit shit, shut-up, right now. But I can't leave it at that. She'll ask and I'll have to say it anyways. He gave her a little guarded smile, finishing quietly, "Mine didn't." |

The look on Wes' face said more than any of his bumbling words, ''Wes? WES!'' he called after him, following him out he just causght sight of the infirmary doors swinging, he sighed and rann a hand through his freshly cut hair, he groaned and walked over to the infir,ara and opened the door, walked in and over to behind wes, he placed a hand on his shoulder, leaning down to whisper, ''because im not gay'' he said letting go, ''nothing to do with you dumbass'' he said heading towards the door with his hands in his pockets. |

Wes froze when the hand touched him. Felix, he thought. And I didn't even say h- He looked up, and his face paled as he saw that it definitely was not Felix. "Doesn't matter," he said quietly, turning back to his work, pleased that he was able to even form the words. "Not like I'm actually in love with you or anything." He wiped a hand across his face, "Like I said, that would be ridiculous." |

It all made sence now... |

[omggg alexy totally knows now, doesnt he? o.o] Westlake sighed. There was no point in trying to do his work now, he couldn't focus. He'd signed his name twice, both spelled wrong. Frustrated, he ripped his pen across the signature section, signing it as 'stupid stupid ethan westlake', then ripped the page into bits and threw into the air. "Confetti!" he said, "It's a fail!" And then dropped his face against the desk. He needed to calm down, stop acting like a spaz. He took a breath, gazed around the room. Felix wasn't actually there and he wondered after him briefly, then stood wandering over to one of the beds. He flopped, face down, onto the pillow. In space and infirmary pillows, he thought, snarkily, no one can hear you scream. Or cry. He smushed his face further into the pillow, using his feet to push off his shoes. At least he seemed to buy that I wasn't in love with him, and --Oh god, and he totally saw me cry and everything. This is so embarrassing. Edited by Rob, Jan 9 2014, 02:58 AM.

Alexy rolled over onto his side and closed his eyes, This day off was a bad idea after all, he lay there thinking about everything until he eventually fell asleep, |

Neena raised a brow at him, had he really gotten shot on his first time in the city? That would definitely be something that would detour most people from wanting to go, yet, she was still rather ok with it. "Well," she began, "you better be a better officer than your own now shouldn't you? If I get shot due to your lack of being able to command, then if I don't die I'm going to have to kick your ass." She smiled just for a moment, before it faded slowly from her lips. -------------------------------------- Felix hadn't actually made it to the infirmary as he intended to when he left the mess hall. Instead, the man ran towards the dumpsters that sat on the side of the mess hall, seeing as how he couldn't get the image of the nasty juice out of his mind. He could even still smell it in his nose, hopefully none of it has splattered up in there. Otherwise he'd probably throw up until he was able to rid of it. Vomiting in the dumpster wasn't all the great either, since the dumpster was full of the putrid food they served the staff and soldiers there. Oh god, his life was ending as of now. The next time to come out of his face would probably be hi stomach and that wouldn't have been very nice. He needed to get away from there and now, he didn't feel like kicking the bucket just yet. So, the man pulled himself away from the dumpster. Felix had a nice little walk to the infirmary, though he wibbled and wobbled just a little on the way there. He'd even almost fallen a couple of times as well. What he needed now was a nap, a nice, long nap. Upon entering the building, he saw West laying face down on one of the beds. Somehow he looked like he needed a good hug, or a cuddle perhaps. As quietly as the man could, he made his way over to Westlake, removing his shoes before gently laying himself on top of the others back. It was nice that Westlake was taller than he was, otherwise this would probably be very uncomfortable. "What's up, buttercup?" he laid his head gently upon West's shoulder. |

When Felix touched him, Westlake flinched. Oh. Felix. It's gotta be Felix. "When Weaver gets back, if he doesn't die, I'm going to hold him down and give him ALL the needles," West replied, sniffling. He turned his head sideways, to attempt to peer up to Felix's face with big teary eyes and whined, "He made me tell Alexy that I love him. And then Alexy said that if I did, he'd never love me back." He squished his face back down into the pillow, "He said cause he wasn't gay. Even if he was into guys, I don't think he'd be into me anyways. It's my fault, I should've just left him alone." --- "That's the thing isn't isn't it? If people suffer at all, then they usually want to use everything in their power to make sure it doesn't happen to others." Ben gave her a smile, "And if I let you get hurt, I'd kick my own ass."

Felix listened closely to what West was saying, soon wrapping his arms the best he could around the other man. "If you need help, I could give you a hand at that," he said softly, "don't be too down sweetheart, I know you're upset and such, but I'm sure that's the only reason. Even if he was into other men I'm sure he'd probably be into you. You're a great guy and a hell of a lot of fun to be around." He gently placed the side of his face against West's, giving it the slightest little cuddles. ---------------------------------------------- The girl let out a soft laugh, "I'd honestly really like to see you kick your own ass, but I think I'd be better if I did it, that way you don't hesitate to do it." |

West pouted, "You're my friend, you have to say that." And smushed his face back into the pillow. --- Ben's eyebrows shot up in mock surprise, "You'd like to see me hurt? Meanie." He stuck his tongue out at her. "And I wouldn't hesitate, I have better discipline than that." He chuffed, shook his head, jokingly, "I'm almost insulted." Edited by Rob, Jan 9 2014, 08:35 PM.

"Just because I'm you're friend, doesn't mean I've got to say nice things about you," he said, grinning ear to ear, "seriously though, anyone who doesn't like you is an asshole." Felix cuddled into his back, letting out a soft sigh as he did so. He truly did find West to be a very interesting guy and not just because they were friends, but because he was. ----------------------------------------------- "How should I know you've better discipline than that?" she asked, "I don't know you well enough to make that assumption now do I? For all I know you could be very undisciplined and such." Neena shrugged her shoulders and leaned away just a bit, the back of her head resting upon the back of the seat. |

Ben pouted. "That's true." He sighed, leaning his head against the back of the seat, mirroring her, and quipped, "Maybe I'm just a terrible, undisciplined asshole. How do you stand the sight of me?" --- "Yes you do," West replied. "It's a rule or something. In the friend contract." I wonder if that means Alexy doesn't like me. "Anyways, off. I'm going to go do stuff. I have to practice," he muttered. "And I'll sneak into the mess hall for you, and steal ingredients. Because you know what? I'm not just a doctor, I'm a fucking geneticist, and I bet I could totally bake a cake with the thermo-electric heat pumps in the offices. And then we can eat cake, and cry on behalf of what remains of my heart." |

"Maybe you are," she said with a shrug, "then I suppose I'll just have to see if that's the case now won't I?" The girl knit her brows together and frowned. Wow, what an irritating question that was, she didn't really even want to answer something so stupid. So instead she just kept her mouth closed. -------------------------------- "Nope," he chuckled, "you're a complete butthead!" He stuck his tongue out teasingly before getting up off of West, as he requested of him. "Practice for what?" he said raising his brow curiously, "Oh HA, that would be pretty interesting to see really, you baking a cake using thermo-electric heat pumps. I just hope that it will taste good too honestly but you shouldn't worry of Alexy babe, it's better to have love and lost, than to never have loved at all." |

"Shooting things," West replied. He stood up, going over to the sink and washed his face, hoping the coldness of the water would make his eyes less puffy. "Ughh are you quoting Shakespeare at me? Why can't I just fall in love with you. You're kind of perfect. Although-" Wes shrugged, drying himself off with a towel, "-Not really my type. Which apparently seems to be badass straight military guys called Alexy." He squinted, wondering where the hell his glasses had gotten to, and quipped, "Not interested in changing your name and signing up are you?" --- "I am," Ben nodded. He shifted in his seat. "You hungry? It's lunch soon." |

"Oh, yeah, forgot about that," he said with a soft chuckle. Felix took a moment to stretch himself out, starting with his arms them following through with the rest of his body. After that, he flopped down onto the bed before him, cuddling into it's rather nice softness. "Who me? NEEEVER~" Felix said in return, "huh? Fall in love with me? That would be interesting, but I'm far from perfect you know..... although what?" The man raised a brow curiously towards Weslake, watching as the other had dried off his face before speaking. Upon hearing what he had to say, he just kind of shrugged his shoulder. It made no difference to him really. "Ah, oh well, you're missing out you know," he joked around, "not really, I'd rather not change my name OR sign up for the military. I would more than likely end up dead. Certainly not meant for fighting I can tell you that for sure." ----------------------------------------- "If you're an asshole, then you've must hide it pretty well, right?" she glanced over towards him, "I am a bit hungry." The girl uncrossed her arms and gently placed her hands down upon her abdomen. |
