"Talking"

'Thinking'

Scene change/description

Night time: Shugazoom City, Location: Inside the Super Robot

Five figures were gathered around in the control center where they were currently about to have a meeting. One other figure who was the speaker was a blue robotic monkey that went by the name of Gibson. Not Gibson or Mr. Gibson just Gibson. He was the intellectual monkey who was also the brains of the team. Then we have a red monkey that went by the name of Sprkswho looked extremely bored. He was the pilot of the team and also biggest flirt.

"Do we really have to have this meeting?! said the red monkey in a bored tone. Suddenly a punch landed him on the ground.

"Sprks, shut up and let Gibson speak!" Replied a female voice that belonged to a yellow monkey with pink eyes. Her name was Nova and she was the toughest fighter on the team. She was also the only girl on the team and Sprks loved flirting with her and she loved hitting him.

"You guys are so funny together." Laughed a deeper yet kind sounding voice.

"Otto! if you don't want to end on the floor like Mr. flirt here, then shut it!!" Nova glared at the nervous green monkey. Otto may not be the brightest, but he was the an expert on mechanics and was a real sweetheart. He even taught Gibson a thing or two.

"Everyone calm yourselves down." a wiser voice said. His Name, Antauri and he was the wisest monkey on the team. He was also second in command of the team with a metallic, silver body and blue eyes. Everyone calmed down at Antauri's command and settled down. Their leader who was a boy no younger then fourteen with raven hair, the bluest eyes that rival sapphires, wearing white clothing with a orange scarf and black boots and black gloves just laughed at the others. He was Chiro. The chosen one with the power and destiny to stop the evil that plagued anywhere and anyone. He was also tired and wiped out from all of the training and scouting they had to do earlier. All Chiro wanted to do was hit his bed and sleep but he knew that this meeting had to take place. Even if it was at night.

"Gibson, what's this meeting about?"The young boy asked curiously and in a tired manner. This tiredness went un noticed to Gibson who started explaining what the meeting was about which was different battle tactics for the team that he came up with. Antauri of course did notice and looked over at Chiro who eyelids were starting to get droopy with each passing second. Antauri couldn't help but feel sorry for him. For he could never understand what it meant to feel tired, hungry or anything like that due to his body. But what he did know what that ever since Chiro became the leader of the monkey team, he felt this need to protect him and be there for him.

'Like a father.' Antauri thought to himself. He wanted Chiro to want him as a father figure as well but he didn't want to push the boy any further and just kept a mentor/student figure up. Antauri felt like this for over a year. A year ago when Chiro first awoken the monkeys and vowed to be their leader. This feeling became stronger after seven months of Chiro being with them. Chiro had volunteered to do the grocery shopping and Antauri accompanied him. Antauri remembered that day very well as if it were yesterday...

Seven moths ago... (Shugazoom City)

Chiro and Antauri were walking side by side with Chiro hold tow bags of what looked like food and other assortments. Antauri held the other two bags. As the two were walking back from the store, Chiro spoke up.

"Hey Antauri? do you think that I'm a good leader for this team?" Chiro asked. Antauri was taken back by this question. Sure Chiro had his moments where he didn't succeed at everything but he knew from the moment they first met, that he was the right choice as their leader.

"Chiro, I belive you to be the best leader that you can be. But why do you question your abilities as a leader?" Antauri asked as they walked towards the park. They saw a empty bench and decided to take a short break. The weather was nice as they saw little kids playing with their friends and family. Chiro solemnly answered the question given to him by Antauri.

"Well I was never really good at anything and being the leader of a team that saved the world before is really big shoes to fill." Chiro replied a little sadly. Antauri didn't want to Chiro to feel sad. Chiro was probably good at a lot of things. He just didn't realize them yet. Antauri didn't know what he was doing but he patted Chiro shoulder and spoke.

"Chiro, as your second in command, you can't doubt yourself. The moment doubt and fear crawl inside you, you lose at the end. Now i hope you understand what I'm telling you Chiro, don't doubt your abilities. Never mind what you can't do but think about what you can do and work from there." Antauri spoke in his usual calm demeanor. Chiro turned towards the silver monkey and smiled.

"Thanks Antauri, you know how to cheer a guy up. Let's get out of here and get back before it gets dark." Chiro said happily as he got up from the bench and grabbed the bags. As Antauri was about to do the same, he saw something that made him stop to look. A young boy who looked about four was playing with an older man.

'Probably his father.' thought Antauri The father and the younger were playing some ball game where the person had to catch the ball coming towards them. Antauri, intrigued, watched on as the little boy missed the ball and his father pick him up and patted his shoulder to let the boy know that it was alright. As Antauri watch this father/son moment he didn't realize that Chiro was tapping him repeatedly on the arm to alert him.

"Antauri come on let's go!" Chiro said as he tapped Antauri again. Antauri looked over to Chiro to see that the boy was a little worried.

"Oh! I'm sorry Chiro, but I saw this man playing catch with a younger boy." Spoke Antauri as he pointed to the couple. Chiro saw the pair together all the time and figured that Antauri would be interested seeing that. Antauri and Chiro began walking towards their destination when Chiro glanced over at Antauri and spoke.

"The pair that you saw back there was Mr. Dewitt and his son Sammie. They always play catch which is tossing a ball to the person across from you and they have to try and catch the ball. I see them all the time together. Sammie's mom died in a car crash a few months back. So it's just them." Antauri listened as Chiro started talking. Chiro's eyes, from what Antauri could make out, was filled with sadness. Chiro continued.

"When I was younger, my parents and I always went to the park. I remember my father and I doing loads of stuff together. Like playing freeze tag, catch, and even soccer. But when I was four, my parents died. I don't really remember everything on that day but I remember at their funeral, I cried and cried." Chiro's voice held so much sadness that it even made Antauri sad.

"Chiro, you don't have to tell me this if you chose not to." Antauri spoke. Why did Chiro chose him of all people to tell this to. Why?

"I just felt like telling you. For some reason, when I'm around you Antauri, I have to tell you things I normally wouldn't share with others. You're a good friend and comrade Antauri." Chiro smiled and continued to walk to the robot with Antauri close behind. For some reason, Antauri felt hurt. He was thankful for what Chiro had told him but he wanted to more than a comrade to the young hero. He remembered the father and son pair and asked himself.

'Why can't I have that relationship with Chiro?'

End of Flashback...

Antauri smiled a little from that memory. He wanted Chiro to be happy but he wished that he was the one to make him happy. Deep down inside he was afraid that Chiro wouldn't see him as a father and that hurt more than any attack given. He noticed that Gibson was still talking and lucky for him, Antauri was good at remembering things while being occupied else where. He glanced over to Chiro to see a cute site. Chiro was fast asleep in his chair. His chest moved up and down slowly indicating sleep and his body was hunched over slightly. Antauri floated to where Chiro was and gently woke him up. Chiro stirred and opened his eyes slowly to see Antauri. Before he could say anything, Antauri spoke to the others.

Alright the meeting is over. We will dicuss this further in the morning. It's already late and Chiro is tired. The other monkies glanced over to their leader and Sprks made a snide comment.

"Guess the kid fell asleep on another one of your boring lectures brainaic!" Sprks commented seeing as he was getting tired to.

"First of all Sprky, don't call me that, secondly the meeting was only 10 minutes long!" retorted Gibson as he and Sprks were about to go at it but Otto held Sprks back.

"Usually I don't agree with Sprks, but on this on I do, I nearly fell asleep myself and it was kinda boring." Nova said tiredly and in the nicest way she could put it. She walked past everyone to her yellow tube a told everyone goodnight. The others soon followed her actions as well. Sprks also said goodnight and went to his red tube followed by Gibson in his blue tube and Otto in his green tube. That left only Antauri and Chiro.

Chiro slowly got up from his chair. He silently thanked Antauri for ending the long meeting so that he could go to sleep. He was about to fall over when Antauri levitated Chiro upright. He thank Antauri yet again and was about to enter his orange tube when Antauri stopped him. Chiro didn't understand why Antauri stop him but whatever it was about, he hoped it could wait till morning when Chiro didn't feel so tired.

"Antauri? What is it?" the young child asked while covering up a yawn. He noticed that Antauri was a little nervous. Something that was unusual for the stoic monkey.

"Um... I wanted to give you something really quick." Antauri replied a little un easy.

"What is it then?" Chiro asked a little curious now. Quickly, he felt something cold coming into contact with his cheek and glanced over with his now shocked eyes.

"Did he- did he just? What just happened here?' Chiro thought to himself. He couldn't speak for the words didn't come out. He didn't know what to feel. Happy, upset, mad. He didn't know. There was a pregnant pause and then finally after what felt like hours, Antauri broke the ice.

"I do apologise Chiro. While we were scouting the city earlier this evening, I saw that same couple, the one you called Mr. Dewitt and his son Sammie. The father kissed his son and I heard him say goodnight. I think it's called a goodnight kiss." Antauri said embarrassed. He didn't want Chiro to feel uncomfortable after that but he would shocked if he didn't.

Chiro who didn't say anything before just blushed. He was a little embarrassed. He was fourteen for Pete's sake. He didn't need a goonight kiss. Why couldn't he just say goodnight like the others? Antauri saw the discomfort in Chiro body posture and with a hurt tone but he made sure to hide it from Chiro, he told him to get some sleep. Chiro glanced over at the Silver monkey before going in his orange tube. When he was finally alone and before he went to his own room for the night, Antauri sadly told himself out loud.

"I just hurt the one I consider a son. Now he hates me."

It was a little after two in the morning when Antauri was still awake. He thought about earlier and the look on Chiro's face when he kissed him goodnight. Maybe that wasn't such a good idea. But he listen to his instincts. And those same instincts are what led him to Chiro's bedroom door. Antauri fazed through Chiro's door and saw the young teen asleep with his battle clothes still on. Carefully as to not wake the boy, Antauri levitated Chiro so that he could take off his scarf, boots, and gloves. He was going to take Chiro's shirt off since he had another shirt underneath but thinking he didn't want to make Chiro feel more uncomfortable, he decided to leave that own. He gently placed Chiro on the bed and pulled the covers over him so he wouldn't be cold.

When this was all done, Antauri looked over at the sleeping teen. Antauri smiled softly as he floated near Chiro and patted his hair softly. Chiro looked so innocent when he slept.

'Like someone with no care in the world.' Thought Antauri as he continue to gently and slowly pet Chiro's raven hair. It was an hour into the night when the alarm that signaled trouble alerted everyone in the robot. Chiro woke up to the sound of the alarm and to Antauri in his room. He was stunned for a few seconds but quickly became alert.

"Antauri...!!!" Chiro began but Antauri stopped him.

"I know Chiro, there's trouble!" Antauri told the teen. As the two went to go meet the others in the control center, their thoughts couln't be any different from one another.

'Will what happend earlier... affect our relationship?'
