Feelings-Axton x Gaige :D

"Aaaaaxtoooon! I'm out of ammo again!" Gaige complained, shuffling over to the Commando.

"Gaige, why do you keep wasting your shotgun ammo on trying to shoot Sal?" Axton asked, giving her $1000 to buy ammo.

"It isn't my fault he won't give me my class mod back!" she replied, stuffing the wad of cash down her skirt pocket.

"But that doesn't give you the right to try and kill him. Remember that our respawn station is a mile away from here, and it's next to the Fast-Travel Station. So if you do kill him, he could easily leave with the class mod."

"But, Aaaaaaxtooon! That's not faaaiiir!"

"Did he even steal your class mod, or did you just lend it to him?"

"I—uh—I...lent it to him." she whispered.

"Exactly why. So go apologize to him, and then he'll give you the class mod back." he ordered.

He watched her shuffle away. Though he couldn't stop eying the color of clothes she was wearing—cherry red.

Suddenly, a hand touched his shoulder. He jumped, pointing his Vladof AR1000/V3 assault/combat rifle at the person who had touched him. He saw them back away, though to his surprise, it was Zer0.

"Seriously, ninja-assassin-robot-thing...or whatever, stop sneaking up on people like that! It makes us want to kill you." he hissed, lowering the rifle.

"Maya said she didn't mind." the assassin stated, haiku-less.

"Well, that's Maya. She's soft-ish."

"Don't let her hear that./She won't like it, and she will/Kill you. Enough said."

"Now's not the time time for a haiku, buddy. Just...what do you know about women?"

Zer0 hesitated, shrugging. "Nothing."

"Wait..what?! How do you not know about women?" Axton exclaimed, eying him with curiosity.

"I just don't."

"Well...do you need help understanding them?"

"How am I supposed to know?"

"Where's your haiku?"

"Don't think it is necessary right now."

"Just...so, you don't think a haiku is needed. Fine, I'll let that be. Just...you seriously don't understand women?"

"Why do you care so much? Are you interested in someone?"

Axton fell silent, swearing he felt his cheeks flush a bit.

Zer0, ever so interested, noticed, and smirked. "So you are interested in someone. Who, if I may ask?"

"Nobody." he answered quickly.

"Liar."

"I know, just shut up, Zer0!"

"I won't leave until you tell me."

"Why are you being such an ass?"

"I'm not. You are. At any length, I can still find out for myself if you don't tell me. I already have a suspect."

"Fine. Who do you think it is?"

"Gaige."

Axton wanted to punch the guy so, so badly. He held himself back, and murmured, "You got it right."

"Ha! Too easy!" Zer0 exclaimed.

"Just...don't tell anyone! Or else I'll spill that secret out that you like—"
"Fine...I'll keep quiet."
"Good. Now go."

"Idiot."

"Just go!"

Zer0 left, partially sniggering.

Axton wanted to shoot him, but he knew Maya would kill him. She was the one who said that if he were to shoot any of his teammates, then she would most likely incinerate his brain. That was probably a lie. He wasn't sure though.

His eyes wandered towards Gaige, seeing that she was now apologizing to Salvador.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Back at the Crimson Raiders HQ, Axton asked Gaige, "Did you finally say sorry to Sal?"

She nodded, showed him her classmod, and answered, "Yep! I was nervous at first, but I got over it!"

"Why were you nervous?"

She fell silent, whispering, "I'll tell you when you come to my bedroom."

Axton, thinking he misheard what she said, repeated, "Your bedroom?"

She nodded, speechless.

She's a strange one, he thought, forcing himself to say "Yes."

"COOL!" she exclaimed, blushing, then running up the stairs to her bedroom.

He watched her go.

"So, you were invited to see her?" asked a sudden voice.

He turned to see...Zer0.

"I told you not to sneak up on people like that!" he shouted.
"It's a habit. What's going on?"

"Just...Gaige invited me to her bedroom. End of story."

"..."

"You alright, buddy?"

"..."

"Hello? Zer0?"

"..."

"Did you just freeze out?"

"..."

"Must be his hologram acting up. Hey, Zer0!"

"You have no idea how strange that sounds." the assassin finally stated, walking away.

"Idiot!"

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

He knocked on the door three times, waiting for her to reply.

"Come in!" Gaige shouted.

"I'm here. What did you want to talk about?"

"Just how...um..."

"You alright, Gaige?"

"Do you think that...Maya and Zer0...would...fit well together?"

"I...uh..." That was random.

"Well? Do you?"

"S-sure?"

"Cool! I was thinking that we host a date for them sometime! Then you and I can stand by and watch how it goes!"

"But...do they understand each other?"

"What do you mean?"

"Zer0 claims...he'd kill me if he knew I told you...he doesn't understand women."

"Really? Maya claims she...she'll burn me...doesn't understand men."

"Wow. They already have something in common." he joked.

Gaige started laughing, unable to control herself. Absentmindedly, she let out a snort.

Axton watched her, smiling.

"So? Do you think we can set them up?" Gaige asked, her laughter finally dying down.

He thought about it. They would work well together. At least, when he likes her. He nodded, answering, "They'll work fine."

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
