The rain started to fall over the city, darkening the most brightest of places. Gusts of wind blew through the city endlessly. In a clearing, far from the city, Forte stood, leaning against a tree. His eyes fell to the distance below.
Something blue walked towards the black robot. He knew, without a doubt, who it was. Rock had his head down, the rain dripping from his armor. Forte started walking towards him.
Why should we be enemies...Rock?
"I'm here, Forte." Forte glanced down. Damn emotions...
"....I don't want to fight you, Rock." Rock's eyes widened.
"You...don't?" Forte...doesn't want to fight me? What...happened?
"What happened...Forte?"
Forte couldn't seem to say it. Every time he had to fight Rock, he never could tell him. But now, he had the advantage. And now...whenever he began to speak, nothing would ever come out.
He admitted to himself that he had a strange attraction for Rock--that blue robot that always foiled Dr. Wily's plans. Forte's orders were simple: just kill Rockman. Sure, it sounded easy at first. But Rock always managed to defeat him, and the fact that Forte felt something for him wasn't helping either.
Damn those emotions.
"Rock..I..I..."
"What?"
"I....love...you."
Forte turned his head to the side, waiting for some sort of cruel remark. But none came. Instead, Rock just stared at him, his eyes showing such sincerity. Usually, Forte hated the innocent look that came with sincere sympathy. But seeing it on Rock's face...he started to become fond of it.
"Forte..." The black robot's head shot up.
"Yeah. Laugh at me...why don't you?"
"No...Forte...I love you as well."
All Forte could do was stare. Rock's eyes still were sincere, and Forte knew that it was the truth. Slowly, he leaned forward towards the blue robot, and gave him a small kiss, hoping that it just might last forever.
"You know, it's useless fighting you when I feel such things." replied Forte, smirking. Rock smiled.
"I wish we didn't have to fight anymore. Why...can't this just end?" said Rock, his eyes becoming melancholic. Forte closed his eyes, and gave him another kiss, one that seemed to be eternal.
"I'll do something. Okay? Hey, I don't like this as much as you do." At Forte's reply, Rock smiled as the rain seemed to stop. Forte started to head back.
"But Forte...what if Dr. Light and Dr. Wily find out beforehand? I wonder...what they might do...or say..." said Rock, walking back into the city with Forte.
"You know, Rock? Who gives a damn about them."
