Confession of love:

003 sat in her room on the dolphin ship looking out the window into the vast blue sea, sighing deeply, she thought to herself. "He's like a poem in motion, everytime he moves, everytime he speaks, everything he dose is breath taking..but how can I...No ..No. There's no way..There's no time for silly school girl crushes..so many friends around me...but I've never felt so alone in all my life." Just as she rested her head against the cool glass window, she heard the same sigh from outside her door. She immediately got up to see who was there... Someone else feels her pain too? Thrusting open the door she saw 009 at the end of the hallway but he turned the conner before she could call out to him.

Quietly she snuck down the hall after him hiding behind doors and walls until she finally caught up with him. He was quietly holding 001.

"Guess 15 days was up." She chuckled to herself. "Poor guy must be hungry I'll go get him a..."

" You know 003...you don't always have to trouble yourself so much to take care of us...We're all here for one another." 009 spoke softly.

003 jumped in suprize. How did he know she was there"o..I'm sorry I..was.."

He smiled warmly at her. "I have his bottle right here."

The Two of them sat in silence wile 001 finished his meal. The silence felt longer than it should have until 009 finally lay 001 back in his crib to rest. He looked up at her, his autumn eyes starring at her was enough to make her stop in her tracks. Her heart raced as he reached up to brush back a few loose strands of hair from her flushed cheeks.

" Are you feeling alright" 009 asked with concern, his deep eyes starring into her's.

"I..." It was all the lump in her throat would allow her to speak. Then suddenly he scooped her up into his arms. Her head was a swirl of thoughts"His hands..His hands are so strong. His arms so secure". 003 rested her head on his shoulder as he carried her back to his room. Gently, 009 pressed his foot against the door opening it ever so slightly but never loosing the poetic motion of his ferm hold around her. He gently placed her on his bed looking down at her with those same autumn eyes.

003 was still speechless all she could do was look back at him in questioning eyes at his sudden actions. When she was about to finally speak he silenced her with his long fingertips.

"Please listen to me." He pleaded with her. "...I'm concered about you...concered that you're wearing yourself out worrying about all of us so much." He gently grazed a hand across her forehead. "You're getting a fever.." Leaning down to kiss her forehead ever so gently. "... My point is...My point... is that...003..Who have you ever aloud to look after you"

003 giggled nervously. " Don't be silly..All of us are freinds on this ship...and.."

"003 it's not what i meant." He tried to get his words past

003 tried to nervously come up with a new topic." I never got a chance to thank you for looking in on 001. I never..." Suddenly he took her hand in his as he leaned over her.

" You don't understand...What I really wanna say is...Since the day you showed my your kindness..Since the many times and the many battles we've been though..all I wanted to say was..I wanna be the one to show you..the one to be there for you when no one else is..I want ..I want to love you." His eyes seemed to be pleading with her, it really was true..he had feelings for her.

Total shock came over her face as he turned away waiting for her approval. Her words to say if she's felt the same for him.

"009..." She paused with disbelief as she placed her small hands on his ferm shoulder. "..I love you too..I always have."

Eyes met as he pulled her closer in a deep kiss sealing their long kept secret love for one another.
