![]() ![]() “And why does it bother you so much if I’m lying?” “Now I know you’re lying, you just said you never did.” “Damn it, X, let me go!” he snarled, “I know what I said! And I’m telling you now that I don’t feel that way anymore! I’m not in love with you.” I watched you die again, right when you said you loved me-” “You said -you can’t act like that was nothing!” You wouldn’t have done half of what you did if we were just-you can’t-why are you doing this to me?” But even that doesn’t mean very much in the long run. "You’re my friend and I consider you the closest person in my life. " You think me caring about you is irrational?! What is wrong with you-" Everything I’ve done is to make sure you’re alright so you can do your job but clearly you’re not rational enough to listen!" He shifted around, glaring at the shorter android. Having it used against him brought out a bitterness in both of them. X never once said one of them had a higher rank, that was something they didn't talk about. Zero could tell he crossed the point of no return at that tone. “Not until you look me in the face and say it.” Zero took that as meaning X was finished, he started to walk away. He turned away from X, he didn’t want to see his face after he said his next words. It’s safer to put me under than to risk another-” If that's what you want, it's fine but you can't-” “Please don’t go…Fine, we don't have to be anything other than colleagues. ![]() His face fell and Zero remembered that lonely rookie hunter that just really wanted to spend time with him. That was too far and he could tell it killed whatever anger X was about to match him with. No one told me anything, I don't show up with a group of people just because they order me to-" He stopped himself. I'm not going to argue with you, this isn't up for discussion. "Are you for real? You're telling me this-" If he showed even a little bit of how much this hurt, that would give X an opening to talk him out of this. He felt awful watching the way the shorter reploid flinched but Zero made sure to keep himself expressionless. "No, X, I'm doing this because it's the right thing to do!", He didn't mean to snap. "I can't believe you're saying this now.What did they tell you? Did Commander Signas or one of the senators put you up to this? I'll-" He could tell once they were finished with the Nightmare, X was probably hoping they would go back to normal. They had none of those since Sigma destroyed the Earth. But they didn't exactly do things lovers do outside of moments alone. What even were they? They were partners and comrades, lovers on a technicality. It was so much easier to take care of things when they weren't so. Maybe.maybe Zero should have taken away X's ability to stop him again. That wasn't true, X didn't have a choice. Zero agreed, he had died once before already. The people who survived, notably their government, wasn't happy with what they saw from someone who was supposed to protect their world. X made a lot of mistakes during the Eurasia incident that could have cost them a lot more lives. Maybe everyone did but that didn't mean they should go around broadcasting this. He omitted the more intimate parts of their relationship but he had a suspicion she already knew. She said she was sad it was coming to this but it was appropriate. He even discretely reviewed it with their operator since she had a lot of experience as it turned out with these situations. #Nobody to love sigma mega how toHe had spent a lot of time trying think how to do this tactfully. He stopped when he saw X wasn't listening to him anymore. You mean a lot to me and you always will but there are things that I need to do.and it's better if we-" I'm putting the recovery of the planet first, you should be doing the same. I think we need to pull back because what I'm doing isn't healthy and I don't want either of us building resentment because I keep stifling this down. I see you hurting yourself and acting like it has to be this way and it hurts me, too. I know you might feel differently but we actually work better apart. I want to be there for you but it's hard when each time it feels like I'm getting in the way more than being of actual help. I'm not in place right now where I can keep this up, not when there's so much that needs to be taken care of. I said before that I worry about you, so please understand what I'm saying comes from a place of concern. ![]()
