Friday Pt 9

"This is nice. I like this but it does make me wonder..."

Blake looked up at him smiling. "About what?"

"What is it with you ladies and dancing on the park?" He chuckled. "It seems to have come up a few times."

Blake chuckled. "Well one or two of the others might have mentioned it... and it's nice idea, honestly. A few moments alone together. It's one of the only downsides of "home" you know. Even as big as it is, there's only so many opportunities for something like that."

Walt sighed. "Thank you, Blake."

"For what?" She asked.

Walt nodded. "For telling me I need to do better."

Blake shook her head. "Dont get the wrong idea! That wasn't what I was getting at, Walt."

Walt frowned. "Maybe not but that was my realization. Our friends are dissatis- mphf?"

Blake had stopped and held his mouth, squishing his cheeks with a serious look on her face. "Now you listen to me, Walter Stark."

Walt nodded slightly. "Yhef, ma'am."

"As your friend I'm telling you this. You are not responsible for that. You are already doing too much infact. All of your girlfriends or lovers or whatever they think of themselves as agree on and understand this point. Even on your "days off" you're pushing yourself to do as much squeezing in of things as possible to make all of us happy and not just them. Infact you're spending another all nighter tonight to make someone's wishes come true. Do you see the pattern?"

Walt nodded. "Yehf."

Blake nodded too. "Good. Because as your friend I can tell you it's distressing. You're far beyond "normal" but that doesn't mean we like seeing you push that and go there just for everyone else's sakes. We know that's something you don't like to do." She blushed. "It's bad enough they use you for their "exploits"."

Now Walt blushed. "I didfn't gknow th-"

Blake gave a look. "Seriously? A house full of ladies, some of whom are sleeping with you, and you didn't expect them to gossip?"

Walt shrugged. "I exshpected a wittle?"

Blake shook her head. "Try "more than moderate to bunches" and verging on "a lot", Walt. Some don't want to share certain details but most of them are eager to talk up your "game". That's what happens when you let that many women run your personal life. Understood?"

"Undahstood," He said. She had a very good point. The common denominators in all the ladies lives were "home", "him" and Friday. He should have expected a greater amount of gossiping. "I..." he looked down at her hands and she let go. "Thanks. That's a perfect example of what I need to do better. I need to be more aware. I don't want to be some self-absorbed, unaware asshole that fucks other people's shit up casually. I-"

"Have missed the point," Blake said. "Congratulations though. You're not some self-absorbed, unaware asshole that fucks other people's shit up casually. In my opinion you're the opposite of that type of person. You're a very very aware and caring person who only fucks other people's shit up after great consideration. Better?"

Walt chuckled. "Alright. Thanks. So what is your point?"

Blake nodded. "The point is you're doing too much to try to ensure everyone else's happiness. Do not overdo it and tell them when they need to be patient. They need to be as understanding of the situation as you and more." She hugs him. "That's the minimum you deserve and no less. Anyone who doesn't is not a friend."

Walt hugged her back. "Got it. Thanks, Blake. You're a very good friend."

Blake smiled. "Even I can get it right eventually."

Walt chuckled and kissed the top of her head. "Your friendship was worth waiting for. You're just as important to me."

Blake blushed. "Thank you. I... I want to try for "more". I don't know what our friendship is building towards but I like you, Walt... and I want to see where that might lead. Is that okay?"

Walt nodded. "If that's what you want then we'll do that... but I want to always be a friend to you, Blake. No matter what. If that leads to something else or not, I don't want that to change for anything. Is that okay with you?"

Blake squeezed him tightly smiling. "Better than just okay. I feel the same way."

Walt stroked her hair. "Good." He slowly started to rock her back and forth as he hummed music for them. "Dancing", like that.

Blake smiled as he continued to fulfill her "request". *What is Ahnassi called him?* she thought. *Oh, yes. Her "very, special friend". Very, special indeed. He's like the other two positive men in my life. My Dad and Sun. Supportive, kind, patient, tender, funny, a good dancer* she thought about Yang too and blushed smiling. *Yeah. I have a "type", I guess... and probably a bit of a "daddy" thing... and a thing for muscles... but most of all I like people like them with those qualities. I...*

Walt felt Blake reach up and grab his face again and he stopped. This time her touch was gentle as she pulled him down to her and kissed him softly. He had been worried about how he'd feel if she wanted that considering his relationship with Kali but in that moment he found it didn't matter at all. It didn't even cross his mind. His dear friend wanted his attention and he wanted to give it to her. He kissed her back. Her lips were soft and tasted of tea and honey.

Blake made a happy sound as she felt the change in him. He was still her friend and all those things from before but now she felt his affection and love for her... and a rising desire as well that was thrilling! He wanted her! Wanted to do the things she'd seen him do to Lita that time. Things she'd fantasized about many times since then! And more... and yet still... "Walt?"

Walt stopped kissing her and looked into her eyes. "Yes, Blake?"

Blake smiled. "I... I know you're my "owner" but... something Ahnassi said. Could we try being "very, special friends" sometime?"

Walt smiled and pressed his forehead to hers. "Of course. If you want to try being "very, special" I'll be happy to but you're already a "very, special friend" to me Blake." He kissed her softly once more. "Always. So when you decide you do, or don't want that, just let me know. Alright?"

Blake nodded as her heartbeat skipped. She knew what he meant and he would let her decide how and when moving forward. When she was ready, he would be too. Waiting for her always!

She kissed him again with a little more heat this time and he responded in kind. She surprised herself as she pressed her tongue inside and he let her as she touched his. But that awakened something in him and soon he was slowly using his in her mouth with growing intensity.

She realized that if she surrendered herself to him, he'd likely make all her little fantasies come true. That thought made her shiver with desire. But she realized that wasn't what she wanted from him yet, not at first. Fantasy and reality were two different things. Likely wasn't what he wanted either... not at first anyway.

She slowly and reluctantly pulled back and he did as well. Definitely more than a little chemistry there! Verging on something explosive! She felt hot and flush and she felt his erection against her. "Another time and date?" He asked her and she nodded. "Definitely... and this one ain't over yet!" She laughed. "Did I use "ain't" correctly?"

Walt laughed too! "Sure did! Y'all're pickin' up th' lingo!"

Blake giggled. "You'd be surprised but some of the ladies have been practicing a bit!"

Walt laughed at that as he pictured it. Grinning he picked Blake up and spun her around causing her to whoop and laugh as well!

Setting her back down he kissed her cheek. "Special friends?"

She kissed him on the lips briefly. "Just for now," she said then nodded and asked, "soon?"

Walt also kissed her and nodded. "Soon." He took a step back looking at her. "You seem pretty sober now..."

Blake crossed her arms. "I wasn't that intoxicated in the first place."

He thought about the bags of drive-thru food she'd ordered still siting in the backseat but shrugged. "Yes, dear."

Blake grinned. "We should probably get going huh?"

Walt nodded looking at the time. "We should-"

(("Boss, one of the characters has escaped. There's also been a break in and security breech of lab B13."))

Walt is shocked! Not least of all because he'd gotten no warning or gut feeling at all! "Who?"

(("Zwei, Boss."))

Walt sighed and nodded. He put his face in his palm. "I should have seen that one coming. Quietly have everyone stand down... location?" He asked as if he couldn't guess.

(("Heading in your direction surprisingly quickly, Boss."))

Blake tilted her head. "Something wrong?"

Walt shook his head and chuckled. "No. It's fine. We're getting a plus one shortly. Gag characters... at least he's on our side and a good boy. Come on let's go wait by Silver."

Blake was puzzled but followed Walt.

-At Home-

"He was right here a moment ago," Lifts-Her-Tail said.

"We're sorry. Somehow he's escaped and eluded us," Sayoko said as she and Roberta bowed apologizing.

"Damn hairy meatbag," HK-47 says as RL-3 uses some colorful phrases, T3-M4 gives a low whistle and ED-E plays "Jailbreak".

Penny came inside. "There. That's the emergency resupply with the courier, sent on its way." She yawned. "I should turn in."

Lifts-Her-Tail shook her head and sighed looking at the wash basin, towels and other things. "Well I guess we'll have to try again tomorrow."

-A Few Minutes Later-

A beat up yellow pickup with a spaceship on it pulls through traffic and comes to a stop near by. A guy gets out with a stack of pizzas and heads for a nearby building. Before he can shut the door Zwei sneaks out the door and runs towards Walt and Blake barking happily once he's behind her making her jump.

Walt tries not to laugh as he bends down to pet Zwei. "Howdy bud. Decided to break out?"

"Whine... Arf!" Zwei explains and Walt laughs.

"What did he say?" Blake asks from ontop of the vehicle.

"He didn't want a bath," Walt explained. "Try not to make a habit of it ok? The occasional bath is good for you. Also don't let Anastasia, Demona, Pirotess or Mystique find out... it'd hurt their pride and feelings knowing you escaped on your first try."

"Arf," Zwei reluctantly agrees. He wiggles his butt and Walt sees what he stole out of the lab on his back. "I actually don't think I need the Batman mask buddy... actually I'm dying to know how you got into the lab in the first place..."

Zwei shakes his head. "Bark, bark!"

Walt raises an eyebrow and takes the mask off from his back as Blake gingerly climbs down from ontop of the SUV. Walt smirks looking inside the mask. "I see. Maybe you, Lucious and the girls are onto something," he says remembering the earlier conversations.

"What is it?" Blake asks and Walt pulls out the eye masks.

"Apparently folks have strong feelings about this being more my style," he says shaking his head.

Blake looks at the eye masks as Zwei barks twice and Walt nods handing him back one. "Sure, partner. Obviously the red one is all yours. Black for Blake and I."

Blake takes the mask. "Seriously?"

"Arf!" Zwei tells her while Walt holds his up. He's surprised as Friday recognition starts up.

(("I see we have a new device, Boss?"))

Walt smirks. "Seems that way Friday. That Lucious works fast! Must have been from meeting all of Wayne's demands. Please inform him I have possession of them. Still I don't see how something like this will-"

"I know this sounds crazy," Blake said. "I just watched you put that on... but that is you, Walt?"

Walt blinked and nodded taking it off. "Seriously? Yeah, it's me Blake."

(("Apparently the mask has an ID non-identification feature. It subtly works on people and has various levels of digital and camera obfuscation."))

Walt blinks. "So they won't hide the person but they do, for lack of a better term, masque one's identity somehow? As well as Friday capable! Lucious, you're getting a heck of a bonus and a bigger lab asap."

Walt shrugged and put the mask in his pocket. "I doubt we'll have a use for them tonight but you never know. Shall we go?"
