Tough love

A Srmthfg! Story.

Nova POV

'….i still can't belive this is happening' tears were falling from my eyes, the monkey I loved was letting me go… I don't want anyone else but him, I kno he's doing this for my best interest. I love him, I always will.

Why did he do it? I know why he did it, but what about me? We had so many plans and hopes for the future and yet they were snatched away during a few seconds…..

It's best to tell it from the beginning……….

Normal POV

It all started when the city of shuggazoom had been frozen by Valina. The cold was no friend to Nova, ever since that day with Mandarin. Yet she was learning to cope with her fear one step at a time with the hyperforce and their new leader, Chiro.

Antauri had always looked after the team in anyway possible, a spiritual adviser and a friend. He would keep everyone's hopes up even in bad times, help others and never turn his back on those in need, this is why Nova was confortable telling him about her fears.

A few days after the incident, Nova was fully recovered and was let out of her tube. "now, no strenuous activities, like training. It's too early for that yet, you sustained some bad injuries and it's best not to aggravate them….", the distinct british accent said, "yeah, yeah whatever Gibby, I'm fine! But if I must!, I gotta sort something out anyway…."

Walking down the hall Nova was thinking intently to herself about what had happened a few days earlier. The memories, her anger, her stupidity. She finally reached the room of Antauri, she hesitated to knock, worried and scared that everyone was dissapointed in her for what had happened until "why do you hesitate to come in Nova? You are welcome to do so", she opened the door and was revealed to a charcoal black monkey with soft olive eyes, staring at her while drifting in mid-air, "Antauri……", she looked at the floor, not knowing how to say what she wanted. After all, she is a warrior, they face problems on their own and it would be seen as weak to seek help. "Nova, you don't need to say a thing if you don't want to but it doesn't make you weak to do so", she was in shock- she didn't know how he does this but he can read her like a book everytime ,"your past troubles you, but you have learned by your mistakes, thus overcoming your fear of the cold."

"Thanks……. Antauri?", her gaze drifted from the floor to his eyes, "yes?", curiosity in his voice, "nothing…..", the golden simian went to rush out the door until he pulled her back, not expecting this, Nova stumbled into his arms. Both simians now staring into each others orbs, the connection was that of which you think you can only imagine, they leaned in closing their eyes, breath on each others neck until they kissed.
