Pairing: Gibson/Nova
It's a concept that can't be analyzed. It's a thought that if we try too hard to grasp can make our heads spin.
Existing
"Fascinating! How I'd love to be able to analyze the content in some of the cosmic items up there!"
"Yeah, the stars looks nice, don't they?" Nova looked to the blue monkey, who was looking through a telescope. Both of them were on the robot's shoulder. It was the evening of what had been a pretty boring day around Shuggazoom.
"Yes, I suppose." Although Gibson's voice didn't seem very enthused. "However, we will not learn much about the universe from just staring at plasma clusters all night. Gah, I wish I had the equipment to get a sample!"
"Why does it always have to be about learning something? What happened to just looking at how amazing the universe is?"
Gibson finally turned to Nova and blinked at her. "You must be joking."
"No joke."
"What could possibly be amazing about the universe when you take the science out of it?"
Nova pondered the question for a moment before speaking.. "Have you ever really stopped to think about how amazing it is that there is a universe at all?"
"Excuse me?"
Nova looked up at the sky. Gibson followed suit without the telescope. "Gibson, just think about it for a second! We exist! Existence exists! Isn't that so cool?"
Gibson tried to think about existence as a whole and stopped almost immediately, rubbing his temples. "You're giving me a headache Nova! Why did you even bring that up? Such a broad concept as existence and being is... well... it's enough to make one quite confused."
"I know. It makes my head spin if I try and think about it too much."
"I concur."
"But still, isn't it amazing?"
Gibson rubbed his temples and groaned slightly aggravated. "May we change the subject?"
"I knew you would say that."
"What?"
Nova looked to Gibson and smiled. "It's just, you're always so into your science stuff, and this is something beyond what either of us understand enough to do experiments about, so I knew you wouldn't want to talk about it. Sorry for bringing it up."
Gibson raised an eyebrow for a moment, but them smiled and sat down next to Nova. "No, you're fine. It is kind of amazing, isn't it?"
Nova nodded and smiled.
"You know Nova, sometimes I wish I was as smart as you."
Nova gained a very confused look and turned to Gibson. "Huh?"
"I mean, I'm much more intellectual logically speaking, but... how do I say it... you have an amazing emotional intelligence." Gibson turned to Nova as he said the last few lines. Both of them smiled a one another.
After a moment, the silence was getting awkward. Both turned from one another back to he sky. Gibson cleared his throat. "Anyway, thank you for sharing your findings Nova."
"Sure Gibson. Anytime."
