**Israphel(Will now have POV's! 'I' is his POV name!)**

I followed the Peacekeeper to my cell and sat down, waiting for anyone. Maybe Twitch would come and see me off? Or maybe it would be too painful. In the cell next to me, I heard two people talking, I knew who they were and held back a sigh. Spark and Atom were my friends. Spark being 13 and Atom 14. They helped me with the mail a few times when Twitch called in sick.

My head shoots up as the door opens and I'm staring into beautiful dark blue eyes. Without a word, Twitch walks into the room and takes a seat next to me, playing with the end of her dress and looking around the room.

We fall into an eerily silence like on most days.

Me and Twitch have never been like other boyfriends and girlfriends. We're not all about the kissing, or lustful speaking. We've sometimes given each other playful looks, kisses on the cheek, once on the lips. But we're more like friends than lovers.

Twitch coughs, most likely meaning to tell me we don't have long. I'm the first to speak. "Twitch, I'm sorry." I really don't know why I'm sorry, or why I have to speak first.

"Why say sorry when you should keep them for someone who really needs them?" Twitch asks, giving the room a dull feeling.

I hear crying, whisperings of good luck, and as the doors close to Atom and Spark, I just hear them mutter one more 'I love you.' Why cant that be me and Twitch? "You're right, I should. But I am sorry that I'll be dead soon." I say bitterly, not really meaning to sound so bitter.

"No, soon you'll be home-" Her voice breaks as the words leave her red-ish lips and tears fall from her dark eyes that shine with so much. Why must this be my punishment? Just staring at her and knowing she's wrong, knowing she couldn't be right.

"No, I won't, Twitch. You're wrong. I'm going to die." I say like it's nothing, my eyes flicking from her to the other side of the room.

"I don't lie, Israphel." She said softly, and in that heartbeat I look at her, wondering how she could be so sure. But it's in her eyes. She's telling herself I'll be OK so she won't have to live with the pain when I'm killed.

And it must be that very same pain that makes me kiss her.

My lips land on hers, and I don't care anymore. Not about dying, not about Spark and Atom. All I care about is my girl...

All to soon the door opens and two Peacekeepers come into the room and pull Twitch away from me. "Just one more minute. Israphel!" Twitch shouted, but they did nothing other than pull her out faster.

The doors close and I stand. I feel weirdly like something is wrong. Something was not said or not heard. She didn't say it, and nor did I...

It was the missed 'I love you,' we never said.

**W**

Myself, Dolly, Beetee, Spark, Soot and in the end, a very bitter looking Israphel join us in the car to get to the train.

Spark looks oddly happy as she sits next to Dolly, humming very softly to herself. Like I do. Soot seems very happy indeed. "Well, isn't this just... lovely! You all know each other!" Soot says, clapping her hands together and laughing sickly.

"Yes, lovely." Beetee muttered as he pulled me closer to him. Resting his head on my mine as Dolly coughed. "Shut it." He muttered, hitting Dolly with his foot like a small child.

"Keep it for the bedroom you two." Dolly said loud-ish, smiling to herself at her own remark. Israphel broke out laughing but Spark just blinked, not knowing the real meaning of Dolly's words. Soot coughed.

"Keep it PG, Miss Sunwood." Soot said, glaring at the younger woman. "This is only rated T." She said sitting back.

"Rated-? what the wires is this? A book!?" Dolly asked as the car pulled in and we got out.

"Maybe." Soot said as she skipped off, running through a few people to get into the train.

Myself and Beetee were last out, we followed the others as a few cameras tried to get some pictures of Spark and Israphel. Beetee and I blocked the cameras from getting to Israphel as Dolly had already gotten Spark into the train.

"Hey, Wiress! Beetee! Can we get a few pictures of you both together... you seem... very close." One man asked, I glared at him. But Beetee took my hand and pushed Israphel into the train before pulling me in as well. I saw a light and knew he'd gotten a picture, I just wondered what he got.

Soot had too be showing Spark to her room already as she's no one too be seen. "Alright, Buzz, why don't you take Israphel to his room and we'll meet you in the dining hall." Dolly said.

"Fine." Beetee sighed and muttered at the same time, looking around before kissing my cheek and then pushing Israphel along the hallway. "This way, Israphel."

I watched him go, smiling at my husband. "Come on." Dolly said, rolling her eyes and pulling me the other way.

**B**

I pushed Israphel almost all the way to his room. He didn't seem happy - well, I guess who would be?

"Thank you, Beetee." Israphel muttered as I opened the door and he walked in, sitting carefully down on his bed and looking down. I was about to leave when he said my name. "Beetee?" He said. I sighed and stepping back into the room and closing the door.

"Yes, Israphel?" I said, fixing my glasses as I waited for him to speak.

"Why didn't you want the cameras to get a picture of you and Wiress? They're right, you're very close." Israphel said, pulling something in a box from his pocket.

I raised an eyebrow when he pulled out glasses. "We just don't want pictures..." I said, blinking and wondering if to tell him. Only Lily, Locky and Dolly knew about myself and Wiress being married.

"Why?" Israphel asked, his eyes flicking to me and raising an eyebrow. "Are you together?" He added.

I sighed as he said the last word, running my hand through my hair. "Yes, yes Israphel. We're married." I then added before he could ask. "Under law we aren't."

Israphel blinked and his eyes took on a far-off-ish look where he seemed lost. "That's why you're always together, isn't it? That's why you live in the same house." He said.

I blinked, wondering how he knew most of this.

Israphel didn't seem to catch anything more, so then he started speaking once again. "Beetee, can I ask you one more thing?" His voice was sad and knowing - if that's the right word.

"Ask." I say, wanting to get away from him.

"What's it like? To be with Wiress, to love her, for it not to just be 'friendly.'" Israphel asked me, a blush coming on to his pale face. "What's it like being lovers?" He added.

I saw him shaking and I wondered one thing, so I spoke it out loud. "Surely you should know, you have a girlfriend." I say, and as soon as the words leave my mouth. Tears start to fall from Israphel's eyes.

"N-no, we're - more friends - we've almost never - kissed, never done anything - never - never said 'I love you.'" The tears are coming thick and fast now. "It's always missed - it's - it's always the missed - 'I love you,' I wish - we could - say." Israphel says through his tears.

I walk over to him and sit down next to him. Unsure of what to do. Should I hug him? What the wires do men do...? Wow, living with only women around me has made me so bloody soft...

Israphel keeps crying into his hands and I do the only thing I can think to do. "Wiress!"

As I wait for her I stand up and try to stop the crying, but I don't know how to do that. I'm not a girl.

I hear two pairs of footsteps and within minutes Wiress and Dolly are standing in the doorway. Dolly just stands there, looking on and wondering what's happened. Wiress steps in and without me saying anything she is sitting next to Israphel, hugging him and trying to slow the sobs.

I just stand there and I catch Dolly's eye, she raises an eyebrow and I walk over to her. "What's up with Israphel?" She asks.

"He just started crying about how he and Twitch are more friends than boyfriend and girlfriend." I say gazing back as he cries still into his hands and Wiress patting his back calmly - how the wires do girls keep so calm?

"Oh?" Dolly asks as she stand by the door. "Makes me think of us..." I heard her mutter and I almost fall over.

"Dolly, that was long ago, you said you were over it." I don't want to make Israphel more upset, or have Wiress asking me to much about my love life before her.

"I am, I'm just saying... we were always more 'friends' then we were 'lovers' when we dated." She said, glaring coldly at me and twirling some hair around her finger.

"I know, and that's how I'll always think of it Dolly... there never was an 'us.'" I say, keeping myself up right with the wall to my back.

"Yes, never was an 'us' even after the nights, the kisses... the fights." Dolly said bitterly to me as she turned on her heel and walked down the hall.

Wires, I have to live with that Dolly Sunwood this year...

Israphel's crying seems to have calmed down and Wiress has gotten him to lie down. He still has his head in his hands, but he seems almost asleep. "Goodnight, Israphel." Wiress whispers carefully, before getting to her feet and looking at me with a small smile. "You were right to call me." She laughs as we leave the room.

"Am I not always?" I ask her as we walk calmly side by side.

"Mostly." She gives me a playful look and at once I have her back against the wall, staring into her black, black eyes.

"Wiress Coil Techon, you don't know how much I want to kiss you right now..." I say, putting my head closer to hers.

I think my heart skips a beat when she says. "What are you waiting for..." As she always does, she lets her words drop. But I wouldn't have let her say everything anyway. I gingerly put my lips to hers, going slow and soft.

We both know anyone could see us. Be it Spark, Dolly, Israphel. Anyone. But we don't care. I push Dolly's words, Israphel's crying and everything to the back of my mind, only letting one thing stay. Wiress.

We both break the kiss at the same time, knowing on a train... on this train, things can't go to the bedroom.

I pull away from Wiress and take her hand. "We - uh - better get back to Soot and Dolly before they think anything happened..." I say, biting down on my lip.

Wiress gives an upset nod. Knowing she'd like the next step to happen

You and me, both, my dear...

Why the wires I liked writing that so much, I don't know. But... Bloody hell! I loved doing that!

R&R My dears?

- Dusty.

P.S

tjtreader - I wish that too, my dear. I sometimes wish I was Wiress (Wires, she's lucky!)

KTstoriesandstuff - They have had a wedding, as it was pointed out by Beetee. Under law, he and Wiress are not married.
