Just a kiss 2

she was so deep in thought she didn't realize he was still talking. "-and if so much a one piece of fur on his body is even half an inch out of place, so help me, not even Precious will be able to hold me back." Surly finished. Buddy was smiling and squeaking ,in laughter, by the end of his speech, so Andie guess he must have said something funny while she was thinking. Buddy was smiling as he leand against Surlys side. "some of you maybe wondering, and yes me being gay is one reason Raccoon didn't like me. he was just weird like that, but I love Buddy and i'm not going to change that." Surly said. a few of the women in the crowd 'awed' at him. they went to walk away but stopped. "oh, and the 'cradlerobber' thing has to stop. i'm like two years older than him. it's not a crime." Surly said.
"ta-two a-ah-and a half." Buddy corrected.
"alright two and a half." Surly said. "any questions?" Surly ask. a hand went up in the back.
"you-ou. in the ba-back." Buddy said.
"I just wanted to say sorry." Grayson said walking up. "I was just calling it as I seen it." Grayson added. everyone was surprized when Buddy stepped forward angerly and jabbed his finger at Graysons chest.
"you-ou st-stay ba-back! tha-this is all your-our fa-fah-fault anh-anyw-wah-way!" Buddy exclaimed. he jumped at Grayson but Surly grabed him around the waste ,pinning his arms to his sides, and held him tightly to keep him from attacking Grayson.
"woah, woah Buddy." Surly laughed. "hey calm down." Surly told Buddy. after a moment the rat stared at the taller squirrel who'd taken cover behind Andie. Buddy was squeaking and grawling angerly at him. "meeting dismissed." Surly said as he tried to keep Buddy from kicking his lower regions. "Buddy chill out!" Surly exclaimed. Surly yelped and stumbled. "Ouch! hey watch where your kicking!" Surly growled.
"Sah-Suh-Surly! l-let go! Buddy kah-kuh-kill G-Gra-Grayson!" Buddy shouted still kicking.
"Andie!" Surly shouted. Andie race over and grabed Buddy's legs.
"alright lets get him back to your home." Andie said.
*Surly and Buddy's tree*
by the time they got home, Buddy had stopped everything. only after Andie left did Surly put Buddy down.
"Buddy whats wrong? what happened out there?" Surly ask. Buddy looked away and didn't reply. "hey, talk to me, will you?" Surly ask. Buddy shook his head and hugged Surly. "Buddy it's alright. see? were're ok." Surly said. Buddy nodded and still didn't say anything. a noise had Surly looking up.
"hey, Precious is looking for you both." Andie said. Surly nodded.
"we'll be out in a moment." Surly said. Andie nodded.
"alright." Andie said and left.
"come on Buddy lets go see what Precious needs." Surly said. Buddy nodded and they went down to see the dog. Precious was pacing nervously in front of their tree.
"you guys are ok! thats great! I thought you were hurt!" Precious exclaimed licking them both.
"ew! yuck!" Surly exclaimed flinging saliva everywhere. Buddy raised an eye brow.
"wah-what wuh-was that fa-for?" Buddy ask.
"some kids were outside and set fire to where you guys usually hang out at. I had to make sure you were ok." Precious replied. they chatted a moment before Lana called Precious. Buddy suddenly sighed and sat down.
"Buddy ga-got muh-mad ba-buh-because G-Grayson ta-tuh-turned everyw-wa-one augh-aug-against Sah-Suh-Surly." Buddy finally explained. "Sah-Suh-Surly want mah-me to suh-sah-say sora-re-ry?" Buddy ask. Surly shook his head.
"the only one who need to apologuise is Grayson." Surly replied. Buddy tilting his head in confusion with a squeak. Surly thought it was funny how Buddy kept switching back and forth between english and squeaking. "he brought it apon himself. it's his fault not yours." Surly replied. "come on lets get back inside." Surly said looking up to see storm clouds slowly coming in. they made their way back up to the hollow just as the first flash of lightning lit up the sky. Buddy jumped when the thunder shook the tree. he debated weither or not Surly would push him away if he got closer or hugged him, but decided when the thunder shook the tree again, it was a risk he'd have to take. Surly blinked in surprize when he felt two small arms wrap around him. Surly finally had to ask when he hugged Buddy back. "Buddy, why are you always so scared of storms?" Surly ask. he felt Buddy shiver against him.
"sta-stuh-stah-" Buddy tried.
"storm?" Surly ask. Buddy nodded against his fur.
"kna-na-knocked ah-uh-over Buddy's tra-tree. kah-kuh-killed Buddy's fu-fa-family." Buddy replied. "tha-then Sah-Suh-Surly fa-fan-found Buddy." Buddy smiled.
"how long after your family died did I find you?" Surly ask. Surly had been six, that meant Buddy had been atleast four, right?
"l-lost fu-fa-family a ya-year afa-after Buddy wuh-was ba-bra-born." Buddy replied. it suddenly dawned on Surly that thats why Buddy didn't have a name and another reason Buddy couldn't talk. "Sah-Suh-Surly fa-fan-found Buddy at... fa-fah-four tha-tha-think." Buddy added. another roar of thunder scared Buddy again and he jerked. the sudden movement made Surly fall over onto Buddys bed, which was basically a nest with leaves in it, and Buddy land on top of him. Buddy was shaking now and whimpered patheticly. Surly was mean and many thought he had no weakness, but those who knew him well like Andie and Buddy knew he had one weakness, Buddy. Surly would do anything for Buddy it had been like that since they met as kids, though sometimes it didn't seem like that, but it was true.
"shhh. Buddy i'm not going to let anything happen to you." Surly promised. "you know that right?" Surly ask. Buddy didnt reply, so Surly grabed his chin and made him look into his eyes. "hey, right?" Surly repeated.
"ra-right." Buddy replied.
"good." Surly stated before kissing Buddys forehead. suddenly Surly got an idea. "hey Buddy come with me real quick." Surly said getting up. he reached a hand out to Buddy, who after a moment, took it and Surly pulled him up. they got outside and Surly sat down on a branch, but Buddy looked scared and uncertain. Surly pulled him down to sit infront of him. "hey Buddy, remember when tail got caught in the mouse trap?" Surly ask trying to get him to smile. he smiled when Buddy laughed. "and I shouted and and..." Surly said laughing so hard he couldn't finish.
"a-and Buddy stah-stuh-stuff cha-cheese in your-our mau-mouth." Buddy finished laughed. they both started laughing and after a minute they calmed down. "thu-thanks. Buddy fuh-feels betta-ter." Buddy smiled leaning against Surlys chest.
"your welcome." Surly replied. they listened to the sound of the storm for a while.
"hey Surly! guys come here!" Andie shouted from the ground. both looked down at her.
"we'll be down in a moment." Surly called down. Andie nodded and watched as they stood. the moment Buddy stood up he tried to turn around and slipped on the wet branch. Buddy yelpped and started falling and the moment he yelpped, Surly had a hold on him. Andie and Buddy were surprized at how fast Surly had moved. Surly looked at Buddy and pulled him up and straight to his chest. he instantly began looking Buddy over for any sign he was hurt. "Buddy are you ok?" Surly ask.
"Buddy okah-okay." Buddy replied.
"see told you, i'm never going to let anything happen to you." Surly said. Buddy nodded and they continued headind down. Surly went down first so he could catch Buddy if he fell. the moment Surly touched the ground Buddy slipped again and couldn't catch his grip. Surly saw this and barley managed to catch him before he hit the ground. this time Buddy to grab onto Surly with wide eyes and Andie stared in surprize. Surly shook Buddy a little. "Buddy?" Surly ask. Buddy did nothing and Surly layd him on the ground. he began shaking him harder.
