Ohmy this is really, really short. This is mostly rambling, so there'll be more chapters for short drabbles and the like.
Once More, With Feeling.
( X/Zero )
It was hard for Zero after Iris died. Hard for him to think, to feel. What he had since then lacked in compassion he had made up for in resolve, mercilessly slaying Maverick after Maverick. Friend, Foe, it was all the same to him. He had shut his heart out.
Until X broke it in. No matter how hard the blonde tried, there was nothing that could keep X from seeing him. Not just him, the Maverick Hunter, but him, Zero, in his most vulnerable state. After all, what was there to fear? X had been with him since he had awoken in Dr. Cain's lab. When he slayed his first enemy, the rush of adrenaline nearly making him go mad. When he found out what SIgma had done. When he first held Iris' hand, he had done nothing but smile and congratulate him. When he cried, when he laughed and when he killed. When he felt like nothing more than a monster, and when he felt as if he was walking on air.
It didn't matter what happened to him for X would always be there to break him apart again so that he could glue the pieces together the way tehy were supposed to be.
