"U...uuu....ugh..."
"..."
"U...ggghhhh..."
"...You're not going to throw up are you...?"
X stared up at his intoxicated friend in the space of his moonlit room. The blonde's face was oddly contorted as he noticed his friend's arms beginning to shake under the weight they held over the smaller hunter. Calculating what he could possibly do in his compromised position, X began to steady the other's arms while Zero's face above him began to look more distressed.
"S-steady Z! Just hold it in for a bit longer..."
X nervously tried to reassure the increasingly ill youth as he slowly managed to push his weakened form into a sitting position. With both of them having gotten into this position, X could clearly see his sempai's pale face in the moonlight. Though, whatever romance would've first been present in this scene was wasted as his friend clutched his knees and drew them closer to his chest. With his head lower than his knees, the blonde was able to steady himself a bit longer while the other attempted to get up from the bed they shared. However, a crimson sheet wrapped around his ankle as the brunette came crashing back down into the thin carpet below.
"O...o....ow..."
"AllllX! Arle... you o---"
Straining to see above his knees to check on his friend, Zero unfortunately forget of his current sickness. A shocked look come upon X's face as the other feverishly clutched a his mouth, eyes growing wider.
"J-just a minute Zero! Don't move!"
X said as he quickly motioned for the small bathroom that was attached to Zero's room. Quickly turning on the light, he located a stainless steel bucket that was normally used for soaking mechanical parts in oil. As he dumped the contents into the armor wash shower, he looked over his shoulder as the blonde let out another sickly moan.
"Uuu...gh! Xxxxxxx...."
"I'm almost there!"
The smaller brunette rushed over with the oily pail as his ill friend grasped at the bucket with abnormal haste. Turning his head, the still standing X heard noises arise from deep inside of his friend that he never wished to hear again. In mid-peril; however, Zero was still having a technical difficulty that could only be remedied with the assistance of another.
"Uoup..... Xxxx... could you--!"
Another round of indescribable noises ensued as X slowly and hesitantly turned toward his ailing friend.
"Y-yes Zero...?"
"C-could you... ugllll... hold my... uuuuugg....hair b-back...?"
Managing a compassionate smile upon a slightly disgusted face, X slowly strode over toward the bed where his sempai's form was bent over the bucket. As he sat down softly on the crimson sheets behind the other, X ran his hands above Zero's head. He reigned in the few out of place hairs around the blonde's bangs as his other hand gently grasped the bulk of the ill youth's tail of tied back hair.
Despite the circumstances that led him here, X couldn't help but marvel at the softness and feel of his partner's hair. Each strand was silky smooth and held a shine to it which X had never seen before their human forms. He had always wanted to touch his flaxen locks, to feel their weight gently slip through his fingers, to breathe in the scent of the stronger man they clung to. Forgetting himself and the state that his long time friend was in, he lent forward into the surplus of hair slightly, filling his senses with Zero's familiar scent.
(Zero...)
The brunette's relaxed face was soon twisted into a small look of surprise and disgust as another round of unnatural sounds came from the body of his nauseous friend. Quickly rising away from the golden hair, X took his partner's locks in one hand and began slowly rubbing the taller youth's back with his other.
"Ooooouuuuoooo....."
Zero's drained form let out a tired moan sometime later as his sickly convulsions began to ebb. Still huddled around the bucket, he began to move away from it, putting more of his weight on X. The brunette cautiously accepted his weight, motioning to take the pail away from Zero, he sat the item on the ground a few inches away from them.
"I...I'm s...sorry X..."
Zero breathlessly pleaded as he attempted to regain some of his shaken composure.
"...It's alright Z... It's alright..."
The blonde seemed to relax as X began to stroke the sweat soaked bangs that clung to his partner's face. As X tended to his still swimming head, the drunken youth steadily began to place his full weight in the care of the other.
The two sat close to each other within the stillness of the moonlit room. In the rare few times that X had been this close to his stoic partner, the crimson hunter had either been moments away from death or unconscious while in his arms. Neither could be sure of how long they stayed in their positions, occasionally, the still recovering Zero would let out a small, slightly sickened moan—but for that small sound, the room was quiet and still. X gently closed his eyes, forgetting himself for a moment, he dared to stealthily wrap his arms around Zero's waist. The other didn't flinch, nor did he move any to his partner's touch. His still dazed frame simply stayed where it was against the other youth's smaller frame. Blue eyes opened slowly as Zero looked about his room with a blank, yet still sickened expression upon his face.
"Z...Z...."
X lightly shook Zero several minutes later. With the blonde's weakened moans having subsided, the brown haired youth thought it wise to take his sempai to the larger shared bathroom to clean up.
"Z... come on... we've got to get you cleaned up for bed."
Zero reluctantly shifted, vainly trying to stay in their shared position for a little while longer.
"Illl...I don't wannaaaaa...."
"...Yes you do. It's getting late, Zero."
"...you'lllllll just glo... away... I want you to stlay...."
Ceasing to stand for a moment, X turned his face towards his helpless partner's, he stared into the icy blue yet clouded expression on Zero's face. Looking for some part of his stoic and strong friend in that expression X regrettably found none of his Zero.
(I've already done too much... All I had to do is set him down in his bed and leave... He... he still isn't himself, I shouldn't stay, I shouldn't interfere anymore.)
Still staring into the intoxicated blue eyes, X fought inwardly with himself. Unsure of what to say and yet he didn't want to lie, not to his closest friend.
(I... I want to stay. But, I want you to ask me of your own accord. Please... please don't make me choose... Zero...)
"Z... I don't think it's a go--"
"P-pleassssseee... Xxx..."
The blonde begged as he hastily wrapped his arms around the half standing human's neck. X nearly toppled over as the sudden weight of Zero hit him.
"Z-Zero!"
X rushed to steady himself as he tried to grab Zero by the waist; glancing behind them, the struggling brunette caught sight of the pail that he had set aside earlier. Eyes widening in sudden realization, X quickly dashed forward, picking up Zero in his arms as one would hold a child.
Zero looked up half intoxicated, half bewildered. Even though the two where not running from a maverick nor where they in any immediate physical danger—in what seemed to Zero who noticed the pail afterwards—X had just "saved" him!
"X! You... julst... You sllaved me!"
"I what? Zero, you're not making any sense..."
X started walking towards the larger shared bathroom while Zero; still cradled in his arms, nuzzled his reddened face deeply into X's chest—a little hero worship on his part. The silver door slid open, X walked towards the steps leading into the square shaped steel tub. Big enough to easily accommodate someone three times X's size, it was a standard issue in the HQ—supposedly large enough to cover the stature of some of the irregular hunters. Depositing his cargo onto the steps, X lent the blonde hunter against the wall as he began to run the water for Zero's bath.
"The towels are on the counter by the sink, and I'll set out some fresh clothes on your be--!"
X stopped short of what he was saying, as Zero; shakily standing, had begun to undress. His red button up shirt had been discarded and he stumbled forward as he fumbled with the button on his jeans. Running forward, X caught his stumbling partner as the blonde's face was inches away from the heated steel floor.
"I... don't think it would be wise to leave you alone."
"Ugh... jouuuu.... thlink....?"
X nervously laughed at his partner's usual, yet comic attempt at sarcasm. Helping Zero to his feet, he turned his back toward him as he continued to use a hand on the shorter man's shoulder for balance. After several minutes the ill hunter had freed himself of his clothing and stood in the middle of the bathroom naked, seemingly waiting for his next order. Unwilling to turn around and increase his already deep blush, the brown haired youth stood with his back still facing his naked partner.
"Get in the tub Zero!"
He barked out at the other in frustration. Looking blankly towards the slowly filling bath tub, Zero practically crawled into the warmth of the bubble bath injected waters encased in the steel frame. He placed his weight upon his arms which rested outstretched on the top of the gray tub.
"...are you in yet?"
X asked as he looked over his shoulders he caught sight of Zero who's body was relaxed with arms resting securely on the edge of the steel square. Turning slightly to take his seat on the steps leading up to the washtub, he inwardly marveled at the rare sight before him.
Within the last few days; no hours, he had seen more of Zero that he could have ever wished for. His long, golden hair was spread around him, springs of it floating upon the waters' surface. The familiar icy blue eyes, veiled behind closed lids, an expression of peaceful relaxation upon his usually stressed face. Soft; yet defined, crème colored facial features led down towards a somewhat pointed chin and jaw line following a strong, gracefully curved neck.
The smaller hunter glanced down towards his own hand. His newfound skin was fair and had a lighter hue than his lightly tanned, bathing counterpart. X absently rubbed his left hand over the top of his right; soft. This new body was much softer than his former host. Was his partner's flesh this soft? He heard a tiny sigh as Zero shifted slightly, causing the brunette to turn and continue marveling over the blonde's bare features.
His war carved torso was painted with several scars—scars that his transformation had not deprived him of—one of which caught the brunette's eye. A long, fresh, and scarily deep scar outlined the symmetrical arrow that divided left from right across the chest on his sempai's body. It's main form was centered over the relaxed hunter's heart, a mark which had been left from their last mission...
(The last mission...)
DO IT NOW!
The soft-hearted hunter wrapped his arms around the distraught reploid's waist, holding him close with the last strength he had; as his friend's inter conflict reached a breaking point.
((NO!))
The devious smile came across his stricken face again as the maverick activated his choice weapon, its green blade replaced with a dark purple. X's green eyes shot open as Zero's arms came behind his back, stabbing the blue hunter through the shoulder and the red maverick through the chest.
"ZERO!"
X held the wounded hunter in his arms as he fell to one side, fighting for his hold on life.
"ZERO! ZERO!"
HOW COULD YOU!?
((I'd rather see both of us die… than to see you live…))
"…Z…er….o…" X's voice began to fade as his body grew heavy, the effects of the virus beginning to come into play.
(The… virus… is this… how it ends…?)
His green eyes faded as X's consciousness was once again shoved into darkness.
"...My son... It pains me to see you like this..."
A small, light blue light materialized in the still darkness of the abandoned lab. It's swirling contents crackled slightly as the frame of a small, stocky, bearded man came into view. His white hair and lab coat eerily flowed behind him as he walked towards the dying reploids; his ghostly steps inches away from the steel floor.
"I had hoped that you would have been brought into a more peaceful time. A time where humans and robots could live in peace, where war was never heard of, and violence a thing of the past..."
The older man placed a chubby hand on the blue reploid's deathly face that had been splashed with crimson fluid. Nodding slightly, the white bearded man closed his eyes and lowered his head as he crouched, his feet still floating over the ground.
"Now I see you here with him... He was created to destroy you by my old friend and yet... "
The soft glow around the man increased in intensity. Facial features began to tighten as the stranger's face contorted, he drew upon strength that was barely present.
"...you've managed to change him, to be come his friend, his comrade, and perhaps something more to him."
He smiled as the luminous glow drenched the dark halls in a pale blue light.
"I love you my son, the last of my children... I give unto you the greatest and last gift that I can give, the greatest gift, the purpose for which you have long questioned and sought for."
X's face began to relax as the crimson stains that covered his body and face began to disappear. His breathing returning to a steady rhythm as his spectral visitor began to fade away, the final act of assistance taking place.
"Save... him X. You both will... b... be.... free. Ma... may you fight... no... longer..."
And with that Dr. Thomas Light's image collapsed on the cold floor, his son's head still under the fading hand of blue light.
And then he was no more.
Some increment of time later X rose gingerly from his position on the floor. He could not tell where he was or how long he had been there, but the sun which once had lit a few seams in the ancient walls had wained. Groggily shifting into a sitting position, the blue hunter propped an arm on a bent knee as he tried to piece together his situation. He was on a mission... Zero had been with him... He was captured by Sigma? Wait...
"I... I had been captured, Zero traded himself for me, but... it was a trap. Sigma attacked and then... then..."
Confused, X rubbed the right mechanical "ear" on his helmet and noticed something... peculiar. His helmet had shifted toward the left slightly.
(Have I sustained damage?)
Feeling around his head for injuries, X's blue head gear shifted left some more, this time covering his left eye. Startled by such a key component being loose he flinched slightly, in doing so his helmet fell off, clattering loudly to the floor below. Where his helmet had been, a mass amount of soft, thin strands could be found. Not recognizing the strange, yet vaguely familiar strands, he ran his hands through them. Bewildered by their presence, he located a small source of light that flickered from a crackling wire overhead and moved into it. What he saw deeply confused him.
His usually large hands had been replaced by smaller ones of a slightly pinkish hue, he motioned for his buster to form but it no longer seemed to function. Instead, his arm guard fell loosely towards his wrist; it seemed that all of his armor seemed to be hanging slightly more loose upon his body. Looking frantically towards the rest of his body, he noticed that his loose armor shifted, however his lighter blue under armor felt as though it clung tighter to his form. X's raised a slow, shaking hand to his face and for the first time he felt.
(I'm... warm. Is this a pulse? Am I malfunctioning?)
In a flash, it all came back to his swimming head. The way Sigma had trapped them, Zero catching him, the fight they had and...
"Zero!"
Picking up his discarded helmet he moved quickly out of the slowly flickering light and began to walk briskly forward. His blue reploid boots clanging a few steps across the steel floor as his right foot hit something which lacked a metallic resonance, causing him to stop and look downwards. Since there was no adequate light source near the area, he swiftly crouched forwards and felt the object with his hands. Certain parts felt as warm as he had become, while other where cold and metallic, his hands stopped short as he felt the familiar horns of a crimson helmet.
X haphazardly pulled on his loosely fitting helmet and activated the light function for his red forehead crystal. The red light illuminated the form of Zero, who had himself undergone a similar transformation. Yet there was a key difference between the S Rank hunter's form and his shocked on-lookers'. The blonde's face was twisted in what could only be described as an internal and concerning pain.
"Zero! Zero! Wake up! Please, say something! Zero!"
He picked up the pained hunter and cradled him in his lap. As he did so, the blonde's helmet came off revealing a pair of long, golden bangs which framed the suffering face. X continued to shake the other slightly—for fear of injuring him further he dared not shake him any harder.
"Don't die! Zero don't die!"
Guilt washed over X as he recalled what Zero had given up to save him. He took his own life so that the other part of the S class hunter wouldn't destroy him.
"This is X to base! Come in! Zero's been injured and we need to transport out now! Hunter base?!"
Panicking, the brunette switched his comm link on and off and still no response. The metallic substances that composed the ancient laboratory apparently interfering with field communications. With great care, he picked up the other hunter, and placing his arms over the blue shoulder armor as he grabbed his hips. Moving with careful haste, he carried his wounded comrade out of the complex and set him onto the soft jungle floor, the light of stars hanging loftily above them.
"This is X to Hunter Base. Do you read me!?"
"...This is Hunter Base. Where are you X? Is Zero with you?"
"Alia! Good. I need you to transport Zero and me to the HQ Medical Ward now! Zero is injured, repeat Zero is injured and in critical condition!"
The line fell silent for a few lingering seconds, a few seconds later X was enveloped in a circle of blue light and Zero in red.
The two then beamed out of the ancient jungle.
"Uhhhllllmmmmmm... X? Da wader's... um... wah's za word again? Ooooh! It'sssss olver flowing!"
X snapped out of his thoughts as his eyes—which where still staring at Zero—now met their clouded turquoise stare. While trapped in his thoughts, the other had made his way over to the sitting youth and now poked him with a bubble soaked hand. Jumping up, a slightly wet X hastily pressed the button to cease the flow of water into the large steel square. He sighed in relief and resumed his sitting position on the steps of the tub, his wet jeans squishing against the warm steel steps leading to the tub.
For the next several minutes, X reclined against the part of the steps where white ceramic tile met steel steps. Finally he had a chance to relax and watch as a comically drunken Zero attempted to wash himself with what used to be an armor polishing rag and some newly provided soap. The fair skinned hunter watched as his fumbling partner lost the soap for the fifth time beneath the bubbly waters.
"Cloud jooou hand mle another blar?"
"No, you've already got one Z. If you just lathered up the wash cloth instead of rubbing the soap on yourself, you wouldn't loose it in the tub."
"Ggggggggrrrrrr... you'llre blleaing mean... you'llre a meanie!"
X failed to stifle back his laugher, his head sank down between his shoulders, and he began to bang his fist on the steel steps of the tub—causing a small dent in the corner of the step. Recovering, he raised his head to look upon Zero who had disappeared. Standing up with a jolt, he quickly scanned the frothy waters in search of his; hopefully not drowning, friend. Green eyes widened as the white foam waters beneath him burst open, the object of his search quickly wrapped his arms around the other's neck and pulled him forward. A startled X plunged into the waters below.
"Waaaah!"
He pushed himself upwards; water entered where air should have been in his lungs, breaking the surface of the water, he gasped for air. A catty smile played upon Zero's lips as his head rose out of the water; similar to the fin of a shark.
"W-what did you do that for?"
"Youu'lre bleaing a meanie!"
Spitting out some of the soapy waters, the wet brunette lightly splashed the other in annoyance. But Zero dove beneath the waters again, resurfacing just as the small wave passed over him.
"Figures that you'd still be able to dodge while drunk..."
"Awwwwwwlllllllllll... poooooor X... do joou need aaaaa huggg?"
"N-no Zero! I... I'm fine!"
"Huuuuggggg!"
"I- Hey! No! W-wait!"
The smaller human's objections fell on deaf ears as Zero "swam" over to him, he moved between X's haphazardly outstretched legs wrapping his arms around the other's waist. X's heart began to beat faster and his body flinched slightly when he felt the warmth of the blonde's body pressed against his own. Zero was so close... his head resting on X's left shoulder, the tips of his bent knees lightly sitting against X's inner thighs, heart beating against X's chest... After a seconds that seemed much longer, he parted from the hug, sitting on his heels and staring back into X's jade green eyes—arms now resting by the shorter hunter's sides.
"Z-Zer--"
Emerald eyes flared open as a pair of soft, wet lips met his own. After the initial shock of the content, X's eyes closed and his own lips eased into the kiss, if not perhaps daring to go a bit further. A hand slid beneath the waters and dove under the soaked light blue shirt that encased the fair skin beneath. The passionate expression on X's face deepened because of the blonde's contact, while a smooth tounge began to explore and entangle with his own.
Two stealthy hands began to move under the inhibiting cloth as X's own wrapped themselves around Zero's shoulders. The taller man pressed himself tighter to X, his hard length pressing against the tip of the smaller hunter's excited member that was encased beneath the now tight blue jeans. The brunette winched in pleasure at the contact and in doing so broke their kiss.
"I-I'm not sure if this is a good idea Zero..."
"Mmmmmm... blut... whiy?"
Zero cooed while running his fingers over one of the two excited nubs on X's bare chest.
"Aaahh... ha ahh... I...I... j-just don't think this is a goo--! AaahhhHHHaa!"
The smaller reploid cried out in pleasure as his soaked shirt was lifted up as the other hunter took to licking the small pink nub excitedly. While this went on, one hand began to stroke X's inner thigh and the other gently pinched the other nipple.
"P-please! Z-Zero... I... I... ngggghhhh..."
Zero's hand moved closer toward his partner's throbbing length causing the smaller youth to shudder at touch of the warm hand. Unconsciously, the youth with the brown hair thrust his hips against the other slightly, his body wanting more. More of his touch, more of his kiss, more of... him.
(I-I shouldn't be doing this... He... may never forgive me. He may not remember this but, that doesn't make it right. Does it? But--!)
His thoughts where interrupted as the other youth began to unzip and unbutton the jeans which surrounded his prize. After a few seconds of becoming annoyed, Zero picked up the smaller man by the hips and placed him on the edge of the square tub where tile wall met steel base. The shock of the action as well as the shock of leaving the warm waters below came over X and he shuddered slightly. Before he could gasp at the chill, the other man captured his lips in a slow, passionate kiss. He no longer felt the cold upon him, as Zero's tongue once again explored every part of his mouth. Blushing deeply, he wrapped his arms around the blonde's neck, grasping at the wild, wet hair.
Somewhat swift hands undid the fastenings on the brunette's jeans as they where slid off with a marginal amount of effort. With a frown, the frustrated man beheld a pair of light blue boxers; which he dealt with by ripping them in twain. Gasping as his piece met the open, cold air between them, X flushed fully as he looked toward Zero with passion glinting in his eyes.
Bending forward, he began to gingerly rub the inside of his partner's thigh while his face was mere centimeters away from the throbbing erection below. The smaller man's eyes shut tight as he let out a soft moan at the touch of Zero's tongue against the soft flesh of his penis. The blonde seemed to test his partner a bit, licking from tip to base where his tongue was met with a few, short, tickling brown hairs. X lent heavily against the while wall tiles as his breathing began to come in short, pleasureful gasps.
"GGGgggaaahhh... haaah...ah...!"
Zero chuckled slightly as the other moaned because of the slight gnash of teeth against his bare skin; he had been busy for only a few seconds and his dear sweet X was already coating his self quite thoroughly. He moved a hand towards the base of the other's cock to hold the stiff item steady as he began to wrap his lips around it's length.
Green eyes burst open as another lustful moan reverberated off of the white walls of the bathroom. X's hands grasped futilely at steel tub base, trying to find something to ground himself, to tell him this wasn't all just a dream... He let out a series of small moans as the blonde's head began to bob up and down, sucking and licking the begging flesh below.
While X was enjoying his treatment, Zero's own hand had reached beneath the tub waters between his own legs and was swiftly pumping his own member. X's moans grew in intensity, his hips beginning to thrust towards Zero's mouth, as each second only brought the smaller hunter closer and closer to release. At the same time, small moans began to escape his drunken partner's mouth in between licking and sucking at his prize. His hand moved with more haste and muscles increased in tension as his bent over form worked at a more frantic pace on his former student.
"....ah....aaaaahhhhhh...nnnn...."
X's soft hands reached out from their place on the steel tub to push down his sempai's further down as his climax filled the other's mouth. The lustful howl that escaped his mouth would've shocked him—hell, even imagining that Zero would go down on him would've shocked him—had he not been too bothered to noticed. It's loud song bounced off of the bathroom walls yet it was soon to be followed by another.
"Haa... ngghhh... Gggggg....AaaAhhhAAAAAAAAAAaaaa....."
Zero's moan mixed with X's short passion filled mews as his fervent stroking ceased, his warm cream spilling into the waters below as he began to drink deeply in X's own. Coming up for air, he stared up at his X, while a few gleaming, unnoticed drops fell between his lips. X lay against the wall gasping for breath. He no longer thought of what consequences tonight's actions would bring—nor did he want to—his mind was a bellowing whirlpool of passion, lust, and exhaustion. He slowly slumped into the waters below, joining Zero as the later rested with outstretched arms on the steel rim of the tub.
Moving his hand over to his sempai, he wiped away the bit of himself that had dripped between the soft pink lips. Noticing this, Zero grabbed his discarded wash cloth and wiped the rest away. He turned towards X and seized his lips in a blindly passionate kiss, the brunette kissed back, their tongues entwining in sweet after glow. They parted, and X lay his head on Zero's bare chest, right now, here here this place was where he had wanted to be, he was... complete.
Several minutes passed as cuddled in their aftermath. It was finally Zero who broke the silence.
"Hmm... Are jooou flleeling better Xxxx?"
X's head shot up with a jolt when he had been snapped back into his senses. He realized what he and done and feared the consequences to come. The blonde was completely oblivious and instead started to exit the tub.
"Wh-where are you going?"
"Ilt's colllddddd! I wannna glo to bed..."
"Oh, oh, okay."
The brunette pressed another button on the water-proof command panel for the tub, he began to exit the steel basin as the water began to drain. Accepting a towel that the blonde handed him, he began to towel dry his face and hair as the other haphazardly did the same. With some assistance they turned off the lights to the bath room; the living room and other light turning off and on as they passed, and X carried Zero to his quarters. There, he ordered the lights down to 40 percent as he laid out some red pajamas for the blonde who now sat on the red sheets. Grabbing the used oily pail from before, he began to walk out of the room and towards the bathroom while the other clumsily dressed.
Having cleaned the bucket up, he discarded it in the shared bathroom and entered his own room, steel gray door swishing shut behind him. He leaned heavily against his door as the events of tonight dawned upon him. He had just been pleasured by his newly transformed best friend—his drunk best friend—whom he had fallen in love with and was too afraid to tell. He slid against the door to the carpeted floor below as his fist pounded the floor—stretching a small amount of carpet in a circle below. He sat still for a couple of minutes until he realized that he was ruining the newly installed carpets with his soaking wet clothing. Rising to his feet, he began to peel off the various layers—removing his pants from around his ankles—and deposited them in his own attached, steel floored, small bathroom. He vaguely looked out of the uncurtioned window into the star lit sky that loomed outside of the door. His thoughts where still clouded.
(How could I have let myself go? How could I have done this to him? He... he gave up his life for me just a handful of days ago!)
His light skinned features creased in a frown as he looked down at his feet.
(I... don't deserve him...)
Just then a rather loud knock came from his door, X's head swung around as his sempai shouted through the steel door.
"XXXXxxxx! Jooouu slaid jooouuu wouldn'tn't-ta leaf ME!"
"Just a minute!"
(Oh god... he still wants me to be with him... this is bad, this is very bad...)
Searching quickly through the bag of clothes that lay on one of the various pieces of furniture in the room, X quickly found his polka dot blue pajamas and pulled them on. Walking toward the door while buttoning his shirt, it slid open with a swish and an angry, drunken Zero stood in it's wake.
"Bled... now. Jooouu promised!"
"Zero, I don't think that I shou--"
"No. Joou, mlle, bed, now!"
"Z..."
X said as he shifted uncomfortably in his doorway.
"I appreciate it but... I don't want to repeat what we just did. I think it's best if we--"
"I duuunnnn'ta wanna doo it aglain... I jus wanna sleep wif jou... It's lonely allllll alone..."
This stroked a heart string somewhere within X, until the last two days he had been without Zero. He had felt hopelessly alone. Feeling somewhat responsible for not preventing harm to befall his friend, the shorter reploid stepped out of the doorway and smiled as the door slid quietly behind him. The blonde took his former student's by the hand and with shaky movements led them toward his own room.
Once inside, he lay down and drew the covers over him as X crawled in beside him, his brown hair falling upon a red pillow. Zero put an arm around the smaller hunter and drew him close. For a few moments X forgot of his previous worries and instead drank deep in the solace that they shared. Cuddling closer to the blonde, he lay his head on the red pajama covered chest, closed his eyes and listened to the steady heart beat and flow of breath. The two lay like that for some time before X drifted off to sleep.
And staring out of the window vacantly, Zero too entered a deep, dreamless sleep.

The more you review, the more I'll want to update and the faster the updates will come!
As usual, ask me any questions and I'll give you answers. So... let me know what you guys thought about this chapter, was the chapter too long? Should it be in two or three parts? Should I use less or more description? Is the sex scene all right? Are the characters acting as well as they can in these circumstances according to cannon? Is Dr. Light's dialogue believable? All these things and more I'd like some advice on.
As usually report any and all spelling/grammar errors in messages, check out the community, the forum, etc. And if you have any questions about the series, characters, or need some advice on a story, I'm your man.
Rachel out!
