“There’s NO WAY I’m getting on there!”
“Oh come on Z!” X chimed as he cutely clung to the arm of the stoic S Class commander. “It’s only until we get to our apartment…”
The taller blonde began to blush deeply as he looked over at X’s red ride chaser--the compliment to his own blue one--as he weighed the pros and cons of his situation. On one hand it would be an opportunity to hold his X again. Yet on the other…
“Can’t I drive?” Zero asked with a sigh as the shorter brunette gently pulled on his arm; trying to guide the reluctant hunter towards the ride chaser.
“Come on Z… pwease?” The green-eyed youth begged with puppy dog eyes as his partner hesitantly allowed himself to be dragged towards the red chaser.
“Uhnn… I don’t wanna…”
X stopped pulling his friend and turned around; he looked up at the stoic youth with shinning eyes as he waited for the unwilling hunter to give in.
“That’s not going to work this time X…”
Zero tried to say indifferently as he closed his eyes and turned his head. But the smaller brunette just continued to stare at his taller counterpart--knowing full well that the blonde youth would eventually give in to his charms. After all, that’s how X wound up getting the larger bed in their apartment.
“Ughh…. Do you always have to do that…” Zero “complained” as he stole a glance at his partner’s begging eyes.
((Well…It’s not like I could properly operate his chaser anyway… The pedals are a bit too short…))
The blonde haired youth sighed as he finally gave into his friend’s antics.
“Alright X… You can drive…”
A large smile spread across the smaller youth’s face as X quickly hugged his less than enthusiastic friend, knocking the breath out of the taller youth.
((Heh… at least I get something out of this…)) Zero smiled as he wrapped his arms around his closest friend.
“Hey Z…” X said slowly, as an after thought came to mind.
“Hmm… yes?”
“You do realize that we left our stuff in the hospital unit right?”
The blue eyed youth slapped himself slightly on the forehead with his left palm, breaking their embrace.
“Stay here X… I’ll go get it…”
(Well… at least I’m not the ONLY one distracted…)
*********************************************** *************************
“Are you ready to go Z?” The brunette asked as he looked over his shoulder; trying to speak above the hum of his custom ride chaser.
“Yeah, yeah… Can we just go already?” Zero sighed as he held onto his partner from behind as he sat in the “passenger” seat of the chaser.
Grinning playfully, the B class hunter gunned the accelerator-- causing his annoyed counterpart to hold on tighter.
“Wh-what was that for?!” The surprised hunter stammered as they pulled out onto the busy city streets.
“Heh… you’re not the only one who can drive a ride chaser during lunch time traffic!” He said deviously, smiling as he secretly enjoyed the feeling of his Zero being this close to him.
((I really am a bad influence on him…)) Zero thought as he softly grinned to himself, unaware that the driver of the chaser was relishing this moment just as thoroughly as he was.
“So how far away from the HQ are we exactly?”
“About… 15 minutes or so.” X replied as he made a sharp right turn, narrowly avoiding the oncoming traffic.
Zero’s eyes narrowed as another ride chaser sped inches away from their own.
“Just try not to get us killed before we get there…”
“Don’t worry Z… just sit back and enjoy the ride.” He teased as the blonde’s attention was brought back to the youth his arms were wrapped around.
After a few minutes of traffic dodging later the blue eyed youth became used to his partner’s reckless driving and settled his helmeted head on the brunette’s shoulder. Surprised by the gesture, X swerved to the left--almost colliding with another motorist.
“WATCH WHERE YOU’RE GOING YOU IDIOT!!!”
“S-sorry!” The smaller youth shouted apologetically.
((What was that all about?)) Zero pondered to himself as he shifted his head on the startled youth’s shoulders, trying to find a more comfortable position.
About a minute or so later the two arrived at the Hunter Base as X began to park his ride chaser in it’s underground parking space.
(Phew… I’m glad that’s over with…) He thought as he shut down the vehicle and removed his familiar blue helmet.
“WELCOME BACK GUYS!!!”
Zero turned around swiftly, falling off of the chaser in surprise and embarrassment as the almost everyone in the Hunter Base jumped out from behind various vehicles, ready made banners and other celebratory items in their possession.
“Are you okay Zero?” Douglas asked both he and X walked over to help the shocked hunter up.
“I can get up myself.” The annoyed blonde stated coldly as he rose from the steel floor and punched Douglas considerably hard in the arm.
“OW! Hey! That’s no kind of welcome to give us after we set up this whole ‘welcome back’ party for you guys--” Douglas stopped mid-complaint as he caught scent of Zero’s attire.
“Ugh! Is that you Zero?!”
The reploid inventor said without thinking as he fanned the air around his nose. Urked, the uncomfortable hunter put his hands into his pockets and kicked Douglas in the stomach, sending him flying several feet backwards.
“I’m going upstairs X…” Zero angrily stated as he headed towards the elevator.
“What was THAT for?!” The green reploid asked himself as X walked over to help him.
“Don’t take it too personally Douglas,” the smaller brunette said as he helped the inventor from the floor, “he’s still not used to his new body yet. He just woke up today remember?”
Feeling regretful now, the green reploid sighed as he watched the blonde enter the elevator and leave.
“I’ll have to remember to apologize to him later, sorry about that X…”
“It’s alright.” X said as he awkwardly turned to address the silent crowd behind them, “Heh… I guess you guys missed us huh?”
****************************************************** ******************
((I hate feeling this out of place…))
Zero thought to himself with eyes closed eyes, as the hot water from the shower relaxed his scarred body.
((I hope I didn’t embarrass X… he’s really helped me out recently….))
The blonde-haired hunter sighed as he leaned back on the white tiled wall, thinking back to the moment the two shared in the hospital unit.
“Hav… Have you ever had any… strange feelings?”
“…Like what?”
“I… I’m not really sure…”
((Why do I feel this way…?))
He thought to himself as he looked upwards at the falling water.
((…And why can’t I tell him?))
****************************************************** ******************
“So how do you like the cake X?” Alia said as X turned around in mid bite.
Slightly choking on the desert, X punched his chest a few times before replying.
“It’s great! I didn’t know that you where such a good cook!”
“Well… I never really have anyone to cook for, seeing as how reploids don’t need to eat.” She added as a deep crimson crossed her smiling face.
“Where’s Zero anyway? Is he still upstairs?” She asked, surveying the bustling crowd for the tall blonde.
“He’s been up there awhile… I’d better go check on him.” X said, handing her the plate as he walked over to the elevator.
“Hurry back soon! We’re getting ready to give you guys the gifts we got you!” The hunter navigator shouted after him as he ran off.
************************************************************* ***********
“Hey Z! Are you still--!” X stopped mid-sentence as he entered the apartment and caught Zero as he was redressing himself.
“X!”
“I-I’m sorry! I didn’t know you were--!” The smaller brunette stammered as he closed the door and quickly turned away.
“I… uh… I-it’s okay! I’ll… I’ll just go into my room…” Zero stuttered as he quickly ran off into his room and practically running into the sliding the door.
(I… I hope he isn’t mad at me…) The smaller hunter thought as he waited for Zero in his partner’s black leather chair.
(…Even if he is cute…)
************************************************ ************************
((Damn it!))
Zero thought to himself as he tried to control his rapidly beating heart.
((Why am I getting so flustered over this!? It’s not that big of a deal… I mean… It’s not like I’ve got anything to hide from him…))
Sighing deeply, the S class commander pulled on the pair of blue boxers and he attempted to mentally steadied himself to meet his partner again.
((Besides… I doubt he finds the various scars attractive…))
Pulling on the rest of his clothing, the embarrassed youth stepped forward slowly as the sliding door swished aside.
“Z… I… I’m sorry I--” The green eyed youth stammered rapidly, as he quickly stood up and began to apologize.
“It’s okay X…” The blue eyed hunter interrupted as he walked towards his unnerved counterpart, “I’m just not used to… changing quite yet… We’ve lived together for awhile now anyway… So it’s not like we don’t know everything about each other as it is”
“But I…” trailed as his friend placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder.
“Don’t worry about it okay?” He smiled as the looked his partner full in the eyes, “Come on now… let’s go downstairs to the party.”
Zero walked towards the door as X lingered behind him, still feeling awkward about the situation.
(Well… that’s one disaster avoided.)
“Are you coming X?” The taller hunter called after him from the elevator.
The brown haired youth smiled as he rushed to join his friend.
