Author's Notes; Attempted poem. One-shots. Shounen-Ai. The next two writing pieces in mind currently lack substance, so in the meantime, I thought I'd try a poem. I felt like challenging myself when the thought came to me, because I'm weak in poetry. Here goes nothing, hope you enjoy.
You're something else, you always were and still are.
I sensed it since the first time I saw you.
Your red armor, your long blond hair, your sapphire eyes.
I never got along with the other Reploids, I hoped you weren't the same as them.
You were often amazing on the battlefield and I sometimes saw you training.
I wanted to get to know you, but was too shy, and yet something just attracted me to you.
For a while, you didn't seem to take much notice of me.
That is until you once noticed me watching after you completed your training.
After that, we began to get very close.
I started to feel like we were far more than friends.
Sometimes, I wondered, seeing and getting a little jealous of your largely female fans and Iris
if you felt the same towards me as I do towards you.
After you advised me to learn to feel things, I figured it out at last.
I had fallen in love with you, but had no idea if you felt the same, trying my best not to get
too concerned about it.
Time passed, weeks, months, years, I felt it grow stronger.
Then that one day when you found me in the HQ garden and told me when no one was
around that you loved me, I was completely at a loss of words.
I love you too, Zero, I love you very much, always have and always will.
Two questions; Where had you been all my life? And why didn't I notice you earlier?
All the fights I'd endured and all the comrades I've had to kill hardened me to where I barely
felt anything at all.
I knew nearly no friends at all.
Sure, there was Iris, I tried to support her, but we were never really close.
I began to wonder if anyone would ever understand me.
Then along you came, having secretly been watching me during training.
The first sight of you when you saw me look in your direction made me curious.
I saw your jump and blush before you bolted away, which made me more curious and chase
after you.
Time went by and we steadily grew closer, we began calling each other best friends.
We understood each other better than anyone else could even begin to.
You made me begin to feel again, with which came an even deeper feeling towards you.
There's no mistaking it, it had to be love.
We were so damn busy that I never really got the chance to tell you, all those consecutive
uproars from Sigma and Mavericks, not to mention Axl's occasional pranks.
When we finally got a decent break from it and when that squirt was elsewhere, I decided
that it had been put off for far too long and went to find you.
The look on your face, all that blush when I told you I love you was absolutely priceless.
You're mine, X, you'll always be mine.
