Golden Shades of Silver
Antauri/Nova
Antauri's gaze fluttered across the golden female curled in the chair opposite. Her pink eyes dimmed and blazed as they dipped and dived in and out of sleep. The latest battle had been long and hard and he to felt as if he might fall asleep on his feet. He swayed a little giving into the tiredness and the ache of his circuitry. He looked at the yellow blanket draped across his arm and remembered why he was drifting into the main room when he could be meditating or such.
The silver monkey walked to the drowsy female before protectively wrapping the blanket around her shoulders. She gave him a genuinely heart warming smile before shuffling over a little making enough room for another monkey to slide into the chair beside her.
The silver monkey pondered on the oddness of this show of affection but took the invitation none the less. She wrapped the blanket around his silver frame and pressed her fur into his side. Antauri felt the warmth of the female wash over him much like the comforting blanket wrapped around him. With one last tired smile she closed her eyes and laid her head softly on his metallic shoulder. He twisted his head a little and kissed her silently on the forehead.
"Goodnight my love…"
Nova eyed her mate with a surprised face.
"So wait, let me get this straight. You love me even though I have a temper which nearly killed you, I get angry over every little thing and I act more like a guy, as Sprx likes to point out."
The silver monkey only chuckles and pulls his mate in closer.
"My beautiful Nova," the silver breaks off and pulls his female closer, eliminating all gaps between them.
"My love for you is unconditional"
The golden female sighed at being so close to her mate. Her lips grazed his softly and she ran her fingers softly across the metal of his frame. His ocean blue eyes connected with her own rose pink. She stopped as if asking permission to continue. The silver face leaned down until his mouth was inches away from her audio receptors.
"I'm all yours."
She watched her mate float softly on the air, defying all laws of gravity. The candle at his feet glittered in the pitch black room. Nova watched fascinated as the candle light bounced effortlessly across his metallic structure. She could feel her internal structures begin to heat up at the sight playing before her eyes. The way the light danced and lightly touched his frame while moving gracefully. Each little beam of fire licked across his face teasingly, reminding her of what she couldn't have.
Yes, right now she envied that candle.
He knew he'd fallen for her the very first time he'd seen her body encased with the fire of her anger. The way she panted as her internal fans struggled to lower her core temperature. She'd never looked so full of life before that moment and he knew it would be a turning point in her life.
The second time only reaffirmed what he already knew. It was the time she'd defended the team by using her fiery temper to literally burn her enemy to the ground. She had fainted afterwards; her internals were overheated and couldn't remain functioning. She was fine of course but it reminded him of what little time they could have together due to the constant threat of death.
The last time was when he'd seen her heart break as he fell to the dark worm's clutches and had given his power to Chiro. It was then he knew he couldn't, wouldn't ever tell her. Yes, he was certain Chiro would find a way to save him; they had become a part of each other after all.
But it was then he decided he could never let her get that attached. It was for her own good.
