Chapter 2: Layer's turn

The day after X and Alia admitted their feelings to each other, Layer had got the courage to confront Zero about her feelings. For Layer, it was hard to admit to herself that she loved the reploid ninja/samurai in red. For Zero, it was harder to fall in love with anyone, since when he was in love with Iris of the Repliforce. The reason why, Sigma had tricked both groups to fight against each other so he could destroy earth afterward. Ever since that day, Zero thought it would be best not to fall in love until all the mavericks were either cleansed of the virus or destroyed.

Layer found Zero in the training bay of the Maverick Hunter H.Q. He was in there not only to train new recruits to become full-fledged hunters, but to get ready for the fight against his arch-nemesis, Sigma. At first, she wanted to interupt his training and tell him how she felt about him, but then she decided to wait. Her attempt to wait was foiled as Zero saw her out the corner of eye and helmet. "Okay everyone, take a 30-minute break." he yelled. The trainees were glad that they getting to rest, because they thought Zero's training program was hell, but compared to the power of a maverick, training would seem like a walk in the park. "Need something, Layer?" asked Zero from behind. "Z-Z-Zero, um, ...I wanted to find you and..." she studdered. 'Tell him!' her inner self told her. "I have something to tell you." she said. "I'm all ears." said Zero. 'It's now or never.' her inner self said.

"Zero, leader of the #0 special unit, I am in love with you." she cried. Zero enclosed Layer in a simple hug. To Zero, he had to think about the personal law not to love until Sigma was dead. It was either say yes and have a girlfriend with who worked with him who was happy as heck, or say no and break Layer's robotic heart. Zero did the only thing he could, he brought her face close to his and lessen the gap between his lips and hers in a simple kiss.

After the kiss, Layer was shocked to certain point. She moved her hair out her eyes so her eyes could meet Zero's and asked "Is that a yes or a no?" Once again, Zero kissed her and said "I'll be your hunter, if you be my navigator." she said yes by giving her Zero a very passionate kiss. "Yes, I'll be yours and you'll be mine." she told him.

Her inner self was content beyond belief that she finally voiced her feelings for the red hunter of her dreams.
