Modo was standing outside. His appearance was gloomier than earlier in the day.
Vinnie feel embarrassed at first, but went to him.
Modo knew his steps.
"Come here ..", Modo drew Vinnie closer and looked at him lovingly at long time. Then he slowly bowed his head.
"I didn't knew, that we are going to be together for so long", he rubbed Vinnie's arm.
"What do you mean? We're a team", Vinnie grinned shyly. "Come back inside, there will be lonely without you."
Modo smiled. "There always cheer me up?"
"Always", Vinnie looked at him. "Are you okay?"
"Hmm? Yeah, I am", Modo nodded. "All is well."
"Then why do you stand here?" Vinnie touched him gently. He blushed hardly.
Modo looked at him for a moment. "What does it matter? I just had to get a moment alone .."
"You were more than one moment ..", Vinnie stared at him.
"What about that then, who would miss me?"
Suddenly Vinnie kissed him. "I will!" he growled. "I will!"
Modo stared at him, but relaxed and responded to the kiss. "Here I am ..", he gasped.
Later in the evening, they lay in bed. Vinnie climbed on to Modo's lap.
"Penny for your thoughts", Vinnie grinned.
"What?" Modo looked at him. "Penny?"
Vinnie laughed softly. "It means that I could pay for it, that if I would get to know what you're thinking."
"Oh ..", Modo nodded. "You do not have to pay for it."
"What's the matter?" Vinnie realized. "Hey, buddy, are you okay?"
Modo bowed his head. "I can not believe that I ..", he watched Vinnie.
"That fall in love with your friend?"
Modo shook his head in amusement. "Yeah, I mean .."
"That you'll fall in love with guy?"
"Yeah, something like that", Modo hugged him.
"Is that a problem?" Vinnie looked at Modo.
"No, no, not anything like that", Modo laughed weakly. "I just ... I thought that I would never .."
"Been in love?"
"Hmm", Modo bowed his head. "But look at me now. Look at us", he tenderly kissed Vinnie.
"You thought that no one loves you?" Vinnie asked timidly.
Modo nodded. "I do not, after ..", he looked at his bionic arm. "Who would want to love someone who is half machine .."
Vinnie slapped him gently. "Do not ever say that! You have no right to call yourself that!"
Modo grimaced slightly. The slap had hurt him a bit.
Vinnie stared at him, tears in his eyes. "Did you hear that? Never, ever, ever call yourself like that!"
Modo blushed. "Okay, baby, I do not say it anymore .."
"Good!" Vinnie kissed him roughly. "Damn good!"
