Song: The Drug In Me Is You
Artist: Falling In Reverse
The knock on his door awoke Up from his light nap, it had been weeks since he has slept and he now had to try to snatch a few precious hours of slumber during daylight hours. Ever since the events of bug world, images of a dead Taz has haunted his dreams, it was becoming unbearable, it was affecting his concious life as well, he was unable to talk to Taz, making the small hispanic angry at him, it was making him lose his mind! Grunting, Up finally made it to the secure metal doors, punched the code in and came face to face with said small hispanic. Ignoring the butterflies that squirmed inside of his gut the commander invited the latino in where she proceeded to shout every profanity Up had ever heard (and even some he hadn't). "Finished?" he asked grunpily as her flushed face began to regain it's natural olive tone, and her breathing started to slow to regular rate. "Why are jou ignoring me, estupido bastardo?" her words were tough, but her face portrayed the pain and sadness that was eating away a her beautiful little heart, a large sigh flowed through Up's mouth, "I aint ignorin' ya Taz, I'm just...feelin' a little outta action is all", he knew she could see right through his crappily though up lie. His throbbing and bruised cheekbone proved his theory right, as did the scowling woman who had so painfully punched it! "A little out of action" she whispered, her head hung low so that the commander wouldn't see how broken that statement had made her. "Jou think it's okay to ignore me for weeks because jour feeling... a little out of action", pulling her face up so that Up could see her tears, she continued. "All I have thought about for the past two weeks is how jou saved my life, and how much it's affected me. I come here to thank jou, and all I get is a shitty lie. Jou know what- I thought that jou were back, I guess I was wrong eh, jour still as pathetic as before'. Fists clenched she swept towards the door, the tears still in full flow, until a strong arm blocked her path, rendering her helpless. "Damn it Taz, I am back, I thought I proved it to ya down on bug planet, can't ya see how much I care bout ya? Your my drug Taz". Sniffling quielty she whispered back "prove it", to which Up gladly did, sweeping her into his strong arms he pulled her head up and slammed his lips into hers in a passionate and much needed kiss, that she was only too happy to return.
