I have nothing to say.
Otto walk the way he normally did now that the war had started. He never talked. He just walked quietly through the halls. His tail dragged limply on the floor behind him. Whenever someone told him to do something he did it, no questions asked. His eyes were always dull, never showing emotion.
One day Nova was helping Gibson with the wounded/sick in the Med Bay and Otto walked in. Otto hadn't seen Nova for an entire week. His eyes seemed to sparkle dully and his tail perked up a little. He remembered when they would play together and have fun…..but there was something he needed. He didn't know what it was but whatever it was he needed it badly.
"Hey, Nova." He said dully. Gibson looked over bewildered. Otto hadn't spoken for weeks! Nova was far too busy to respond. Otto felt something rip slightly inside him. He couldn't seem to control himself….his hand slowly went around Nova. Nova spun around and his hand accidently hit the beakers off the tray she was holding and they smashed into the ground.
"OTTO! WHAT THE HECK!?" she yelled, "JUST GO AWAY!" The words seemed to echo in his head. Otto felt the rip again…..tearing what was left of his fragile heart in eyes began to fill up with tears as he trudged away…
Later…
Nova was finally done with her work. Time to get some sleep. She checked the clock 9:38. She headed towards her room. Then she stopped. She could of swore she had heard the faintest sound coming from around the corner. Confused, she turned the corner and followed the noise to Otto's room. The door was cracked open. She peeked in. She was shocked to see Otto curled in a ball crying into his pillow, Her heart ached for him. His chest heaved as he started crying to himself.
"P-please! I n-need it s-so bad! P-PLEASE! I w-want a h-hug! I n-need a h-hug! I w-wanna be L-LOVED!" Nova gasped and felt tears coming to her eyes. He had tried to hug her and she yelled at him. She felt terrible. Quickly, she closed the door and knocked. She heard him stop and sniffle.
"W-who is it?" he said in a shaky voice.
"Me…..Nova. May i come in?"
"O-ok…." She opened the door. Otto's pillow was soaked with tears and his chest still heaved slightly. She saw him quickly wipe away some tears.
"Hey,Otto…." Nova said softly as she sat beside him on the bed. She could hear him sniffling and handed him a tissue box that had fallen off of the bed.
"T-thanks…." he said quietly as he blew his couldn't take it any longer. She wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly.
"I'm so sorry Otto! I shouldn't have yelled at you!" Otto stopped crying, shaking, and sniffling.
"I forgive you…...Thank you…..You don't know how much a hug means." he said and gave her a small smile. She beamed and hugged him tighter. They stayed hugging for about 5 more minutes. Nova looked to see Otto had fallen asleep in her arms. She giggled a little and tucked him under the covers.
"Good night Otto."
Well….I think that went well. This story was based on a true story…..except the true story didn't have a happy ending…..Anyways…..please review!
