The sun was out at the Tower today. Gosh it sure was beautiful. I looked down at my skin, a glistening purple against the sun, what a perk to being an awoken. I went back into my room to change into my Warlock gear, ready to take on the day. I whipped out my ghost and set him on my night stand.
"Hey ghost, care to play me some jams while I get ready?"
"Sure Miss, any requests?"
"Nah," I said shaking my head laughing slightly, "Gimme something with a good beat."
My little bot started playing some old Queen, odd choice, but I could dig it. I happily bounced around my room finding the armor pieces I wanted to wear today. I was feeling kinda dark so I picked out my Crota gear, got dressed and set out. There were some patrols on Venus I was just dying to complete.
Ghost following slowly behind me on my journey, we got in my ship and set coordinates to Venus.
"Miss, don't you wish to invite that "handsome" guardian you met in crucible?"
I couldn't help but chuckle out loud, making my chest heave a little in the robe, "You think I should? He was quite cute wasn't he?" I could sense the sarcastic disapproval coming from my ghost.
"Miss if that is what pleases you I shall send a signal out to him."
"Yes, please do so." I smiled as I said it. How fun, a cute boy to join me on my journey.
It felt like ages before he finally answered the call. I couldn't help but stare as he stood in front of me on Venus. Though I couldn't see his face I knew it was there looking as cute as ever, and boy did he look fine in the armor he had on.
"I'm sorry but I seem to have forgotten your name." I said nervously, even biting my lip behind my helmet.
"It's Kyle, remember? Yours is.. Anabelle if I remember correctly?" I nodded at him, god did I feel bad for forgetting such a cute name. I turned around, embarrassed, and hopped on my sparrow and started riding towards the Citadel. That's where I wanted to start my journey.
"So.. Kyle. Do you have a lady in the Tower? A guardian maybe?" I focused in front of me as I spoke.
"No, actually. I don't really seem to have a knack for finding a good woman. What about yourself? Any man in your life I should know about?"
I couldn't help but choke and stop my sparrow on the spot, "Um no. Why do you ask?"
He chuckled slightly, "I remember that pretty face from our time in the tower after crucible. You're quite a beautiful girl, Anabelle. Why do you not have a man?"
I looked away from him, "I'm just kinda shy is all."
"Follow me" he said, driving his sparrow to a lot of caves before reaching the citadel.
We parked outside a large cave and together we walked inside. It was huge, roomy. It was like someone actually lived there. There was old furniture lining some of the walls as well as some shelves of books and old board games. I couldn't help but glance up at him in curiosity.
"Is this your place?"
He nodded and pointed towards a luxurious looking bed with drapes and everything, "sit, let's talk."
I followed him and we sat on the bed together. I looked at him and saw him push a button. Suddenly a huge wall slammed down, separating us from the other part of the cave. A loud wooshing sound happened and then a loud beep. I continued to look at him, this time searching for answers, only to see him taking off his helmet. He reached over and took mine off only to start laughing, probably at my shocked face. I looked around frantically, confused.
"It's fine, it's purified air" he said chuckling, "It's fine to breathe as long as those doors stay closed" he pointed to the big door that came crashing down.
I relaxed a little and he took my hand carefully, "Talk to me, why are you so shy? Your face is so beautiful and so are you, what is holding you back?"
I glanced down at my lap and sighed, "I have no idea. I've never had a lasting relationship and I find it hard to trust men."
He laid his hand on my leg and shook his head, clearly disapproving of my statement, "You're too beautiful. I would kill a man who ever hurt you. Now, do I need to kill someone?" I'll admit I laughed really hard, and probably pretty awkwardly.
"No, you need to kill nobody, but you're pretty cute yourself. What's your story, Titan boy?"
"I'm looking at the one lady I want, that's all"
