We are kissing.

Right there, standing on the roof of the gym, upside down after I transferred my Antigravity Legacy to her, and it's been a while since I felt so vulnerable.

"Nine," she whispers, breaking away and resting her forehead against mine.

Neither of us is thinking about the Mogs, or the other Garde, or the war. We're just standing there, and it's not pure impulse that drove me towards her. It was plainly her.

"Yes, Six?" I breath, close to her ear.

Her arms around my neck pull be back in, and she kisses me with even more intensity than before, and I kiss her back, and we just stare at each other afterwards, until she breaks the silence and says, "I thought you were strong enough not to fall in love."

"I could say the same about you," I say. "But it's okay to be vulnerable once in a while." Six laughs, a beautiful, pleasant laugh. She laces her fingers with mine.

"I always thought only the weak fall in love," she says. "But here we are, the two most badass Garde, making out upside down."

I grin. "Yeah, about that…" I trail off, holding onto her hand and letting us both down. We sit on the mat, cross-legged.

Six looks down nervously and then meets my eyes. "You're not really that big of a careless flirt, are you?" she asks, and then she puts a hand over my heart. "In here, I mean." She drops her hand.

"No," I say. "Just as you're not a fearless warrior in there either."

"We've all got weaknesses on the inside, don't we?" she says. I take her hand.

"We do," I says, leaning in. "And right now, you're the biggest weakness inside of me."

We kiss again.

A/N: So how was it? I came up with it really quickly because it was in my head. It's kind of lame and cheesy. Idk. Any thoughts?
