Okay sorry about the delay in updating but my parents suprised me with a random trip to nowheresville and we were gone for a week with no internet access or computer in general. Sorry sorry sorry. But here is the next chapter so no harm done. Oh and I'm still kind of suffering from mild writers block so this is basically just a filler chapter, sorry again. BUT it has spova fluff to make up for it. Which I know is why you all read this story. So sorry again but there was nothing I could do to get out of it. :("No." Sprx said flatly, forcefully.
"Yes." Nova pushed on.
"No. Nova I'm too tired. I'm going to sleep. We'll have plenty of time for that once this whole war thing is over, I promise. But for now I'm going to sleep and not even your pretty pink eyes can stop me this time." He said closing the matter. He rolled over with his back to his golden girlfriend and closed his eyes.
"Sprx…" Nova started but dropped it. She knew he was exhausted and needed rest, she had been pushing him hard the past few days especially in training and then at night. She also knew her body needed rest as well but it was also craving him. She sighed then lay down and wrapped her arms around him and snuggled close.
"Good night." She heard him say.
"Night…hey Sprx."
"Hmmm…" she could feel his breathing become shallower and even.
"I love you." She whispered.
"I love you too." He mumbled. She smiled, she knew it was true but she could still feel the craving for his hot breathe on her, his hands roaming, the emotional high of a kiss. She ignored them and focused on her breathing trying to drift off. Eventually she managed but it was a shallow sleep. Filled with blurs of reality and fantasy to the point at which you can't tell dream from wake.
She woke up with the sensation of something soft and warm on her lips. Out of instinct she kissed back, wrapping her arms around the person. Then she felt the person break it and slowly opened her eyes to be greeted by deep, rich brown eyes and the smell of life's spices.
"Morning." Sprx said softly.
"Morning." Nova replied, "What was that for?"
Sprx shrugged "Do I really need a reason?"
"Yes." Nova said.
"Okay, fine. How about because I love you and as a thank you for letting me sleep last night."
"That's better." Nova smiled and leaned up pulling him into another kiss with her arms around his neck.
"What was that for?" Sprx asked playfully.
"Do I really need a reason?" Nova responded.
"No." Sprx said sincerely kissing her on her head "Come on we better get up."
Nova groaned "I don't wanna." She whined.
"You sound like a five-year-old." Sprx scolded
"I don't care. Cant we just stay here, like this all day?"
Sprx smiled "You know I would if I could but thanks to your big mouth and bigger heart we gotta go help stop a war."
"Was that a complement or an insult?"
Sprx smirked his all knowing smirk and managed to wriggle out of her arms. He got out of the bed and made is way to the bathroom. After a few moments Nova got up as well and followed him. She came up behind him and linked her arms around his waist.
"You never answered the question." She told him.
"I know." He smirked again.
"Stop that."
"Stop what?"
"That. That smirking."
"Why?"
"Because it's annoying and I told you too."
"You're going to be a great mother." Sprx commented rolling his eyes.
Nova whacked him upside the head and glared at him in the mirror. "OW!" he yelped "Oh go get ready." He told her and walked out of the bathroom. It was Nova's turn to roll her eyes.
"Baby!" she called after him then turned to get ready for the day.
When she was ready she came out and joined her crimson boyfriend in the living area of his suite. They were waiting for Rachelle or a helper to come get them for breakfast. After a few minutes of nothing they both got bored and an awkward silence settled over them.
"So…"
"So…what do you think is taking them so long?" Nova asked more to quiet the silence than anything else.
"Probably had a busy night." Sprx said with his perverted grin.
Nova scoffed "You just had to go there."
"What? It's not like it's out of the question."
"I know that but still…I don't really wanna think about it."
"Ya…it's really disturbing to think about your brother doing it."
"Then stop."
"I'm trying."
"Try harder."
"I can't."
Nova huffed "Why do I love you?" she asked herself out loud.
Sprx got a hurt look on his face. "You don't know why you love me?"
"Well…do you know why you love me?" she asked defensively.
"Yeah…of course I do."
"Then what is it?"
"Well for starters: your laugh, your smile, your determination, your feisty personality, the way you move when you fight, the way your voice sounds when you talk about something important, soft but fierce, the way you can keep me at bay guessing how you really feel about something, the way your—"
"Fine all right. That's enough." Nova cut him off looking guilty and frustrated.
"What's wrong?" Sprx asked her concerned.
"Nothing."
"Nova." He said sternly sending her a piercing glare.
"It's just that…I don't really have those reasons. I'm not really sure why I fell in love with you. In fact I only recently accepted and admitted the fact to myself." She looked at the ground ashamed and embarrassed.
She heard Sprx get up and walk over to her. She felt him put his arms around her and lift her chin up so that she was looking him in the eye.
"Hey, its okay. I understand. Look I realized I was in love with you a long time ago. So I've had more time to think and figure out why I fell in love with you. You haven't so don't worry about it. Just the fact that you love me back is enough." He told her sincerely.
Nova smiled at him, a beautiful window-to-the-soul smile that showed she really did love him, the kind he had spent his whole life trying to get a glance of. Sprx smiled back and rested his head on hers and started stroking her cheek with his hand. They simply stared into each others eyes or a while, enjoying each others presence. Nova eventually wrapped her arms around him causing the space between them to shrink.
"I don't think they'll be by any time soon." She told him.
"Well that leaves quite an open space in my schedule." Sprx told her.
"Really? Well I just happen to have a bit of free time on my hands as well. Do you wanna do something?"
"Something like what?"
"Oh anything."
"Well how about we see where the moment takes us?"
"That sounds like a plan."
"So…where are you at?"
"Right here." Nova leaned in and kissed him softly on the lips.
Sprx deepened it and started pushing forward causing Nova to stumble backwards to the bed, never breaking their embrace. They finally fell onto the bed, Sprx on top. Nova broke for air.
"Looks like you finally get to be the ring leader." She gasped.
Sprx smirked "Looks like." He said menacingly. He leaned in to resume the kiss but before their lip made contact there came a knock at the door.
Sprx groaned, frustrated and disappointed. He collapsed his head on her chest in despair.
"Maybe if we're quiet they'll go away." He suggested.
"Sprx? Nova?" came Antauri's voice through the door.
Nova smiled at him sympathetically then slid out from under him. "Keep that thought." She kissed him on the forehead then went over to the door.
Sprx sat up and watched as she opened the door and Antauri peered in.
"Am I interrupting something?" Antauri inquired noticing Sprx's position and the look on his face.
"Doesn't matter. What's wrong?" Nova responded before Sprx could.
"There have been reports of a large army headed toward Anryiana. We are to get into position and wait for the up coming battle. No one knows where Gibson or Rachelle is. Sprx I need you to locate them and inform them what is going on. Nova go ahead and go prepare the warrior army." The second-in-command told them.
Sprx and Nova nodded then Antauri left them to do their jobs.
Sprx sighed. "So much for a clear schedule." He said coming up behind his girlfriend and holding her close.
Nova rested her head on him for a second just enjoying his touch. Then she sighed and straightened up. She turned to him and kissed him briefly.
"We need to get going." She told him "Just keep holding those thoughts and I promise I'll make them come true after this is all over. 'kay?"
Sprx stared at her a minute then smiled and grabbed her hands in his. "I'm going to hold you to that. No matter what."
"Wouldn't have it any other way." She pecked him real quick then she was off.
Sprx watched her admiring her grace and simply drinking in her poise. After she was gone he tried contacting Gibson.
Gibson woke with Rachelle snuggled tightly in his arms. The bed was a bit snug with her in it but he didn't mind, it just seemed cozier. He gently started stroking her back with his tail. Rachelle started to stir.
She cracked her eye open and met blue. She yawned and tried to stretch.
"Morning." She mumbled
"Morning." He said softly loosening his grip on her.
"What time is it?" she asked settling back down into his arms again.
"I don't know. I'm sure it's still early."
"Sprx to Gibson…Come in Gibson…"Sprx's voice came in Gibson communicator.
"What is it Sprx?" Gibson responded annoyed.
"Well it's about time Brain Strain. I've been tryin' to contact you for almost an hour."
"Why?" Gibson snuggled closer to Rachelle.
"Because the battles gettin' ready to start and you and your girlfriend decided to go AWOL."
"We are not AW—wait! The battle is starting?" Gibson was fully awake now.
"'Bout to. An army is on its way and we're tryin' to prepare for it."
"We'll be right there."
"Where are you guys anyway?"
"The Robot."
"Ahhh…tryin' out the beds?" he said suggestively.
"Sprx!" Gibson and Rachelle both shouted embarrassed.
Sprx chuckled "Whatever. Just get hurry up and get here. No one can figure out your 'system' if that's what you call it."
"On.Our.Way." Gibson ground his teeth.
"Over and out."
Gibson sighed "So much for not being late." He told his girlfriend.
She smiled sympathetically then got out from his arms. "Come on, they need us."
Gibson nodded and took her outstretched hand and got out of the bed. They took off toward the giant tree in the middle of the jungle-city. When they got there they were both immediately ushered off to their respective duties in preparation for the upcoming battle.
Ya so there it was. I know its not much but...didnt really have much time to come up with much and still reovering from a major case of writers block. Hopefully it will start picking up again soon. Until then...well I'll try and throw in more spova scenes when I cant think of anything good, 'kay?
I know its not much but please review anyway. You can even yell at me about how horrible it was or whatever. Again sorry :((
