Chapter 6

Ziggs fumbled around his bed and woke up. He couldn't breathe, as some blue creature was on top of him, crushing his lungs and not making him able to sleep. Ziggs looked at Rumble and grinned. He suddenly realized what had happened yesterday night and what he had done. He started blushing bright red, as Rumble groaned as he woke up as well.

"M-Morning!" Ziggs said a little enthusiastically. Rumble looked at him groggily and smiled. He lunged for Ziggs and wrapped his arms around him and collapsed together on the bed. Ziggs, still blushing, kept his breathing steady, and tried not to think much about yesterday.

"You know Ziggs, I've been wondering if I should stay here and maybe… help you out… You always seem so tired when you get back from work." Rumble muttered softly as they lay together on the soft bed. He stroked Ziggs's chest, and Ziggs couldn't find any words to answer that question. He felt so loved and appreciated, that Rumble would abandon his own place, the junkyard where they had spent their childhood and live with him. Ziggs started trembling, tears streaming down his face. Rumble turned him over and looked at him.

"Ziggs! What's wrong?! D-Did I say something wrong?" Rumble asked, surprised by how Ziggs reacted. Ziggs's emerald eyes shone from the tears. He shook his head, as Rumble leaned in and started kissing him deeply. Ziggs tugged at Rumble and held him closer. He didn't want this kiss to end. Both of them had to break away to get a breath of air.

"R-Rumble… You have no idea how much that meant to me. I-I would really love it if you do. I've been living through all this work, with no idea what this will get me to. It's so difficult living here, with all these humans who just-" Ziggs was cut off by Rumble on his lips again. Rumble broke away and looked at him intently.

"Ziggs. I know, I know. That's why I'm here for you. That's why I love you too. I know how you feel being here, the only one alone. I… I was like that too, until you came along. That's how we fell in love, remember?" Rumble paused as Ziggs nodded. He continued, "And plus, I don't mind leaving the junkyard, all I need is Tris here so that I could use and improve it. Ziggs, there's nothing wrong with being sad about being alone. Everyone feels that way. It's just how we deal with it and finding a person who would help you on your way. I'm here for you. I love you, Ziggs." He leaned in for a quick kiss. Ziggs was still crying uncontrollably, now sobbing even louder, as he knew there would be no one like Rumble in this world who would love him.

"Rumble, I… I love you too." Ziggs murmured softly, as he clung onto Rumble, comforted by the blue fur, and the smell it gave off. It smelled like pine needles and metal. Ziggs cried into Rumble's shoulder, lying on the bed together. Rumble let Ziggs cry his heart out, knowing the same thing had happened a few years back.

"It's okay… It's okay… I'm here..." Rumble muttered those lines, as the sobs decreased, and Ziggs was sleeping soundly. Rumble gently placed his head on the pillow, draping a blanket over him and looked at him. His eyes were clearly puffy, his tan fur shimmering beautifully. Tear stains were on his cheeks, but he was still handsome to Rumble.

"Ziggs… I don't know how to express this love of mine to you… This is the least I can do for you." Rumble muttered quietly. He walked out of the bedroom, going to prepare some breakfast for the both of them. As he exited, Ziggs was murmuring something.

"Rumble… Don't go…" Ziggs talked quietly in his sleep.

"No! Rumble! Don't go! Not like this! We can't end it like this!" Ziggs was screaming at Rumble. Rumble stood at a door with a sad expression. He dipped his head in disapproval.

"No, Ziggs. I need to go for the good of both of us." Rumble replied stoically. Ziggs had never seen Rumble like this, and he had no idea what this was about.

"Rumble! No!" Ziggs shouted as the dream blanked out, a voice calling him back.

"Ziggs! What's wrong?!" Rumble asked loudly as he quickly grabbed Ziggs and held him tight. Ziggs was up on the bed, awake from his dream.

"Rumble… You didn't leave…" Ziggs muttered as Rumble nuzzled him.

"Why would I leave?" Rumble asked him carefully. Ziggs looked at him with teary eyes.

"I-I don't know… I just had a dream…" Ziggs answered softly.

"Ziggs. Don't believe in dreams. I will never leave you, if that even happens, I will come back for you. Ziggs looked at him with his shining eyes and drew him close into a kiss.

"Now… Can we please have breakfast? I made some and I'm starving." Rumble asked with a cheery grin.
