Cyber Tears Ch. 2

Robert came to chained tightly and hooked up to some kind of a machine. He heard a sobbing noise at one end of the room. "I'm sorry." Tala looked up at him, spreading his hands helplessly. "It wasn't my choice that this happen."

"That was obvious, but what is that choice, maybe we can work around it." The leader of the Majestics offered.

"I've tried!" Tala's reply was a frustrated wail. "But Voltaire said that if we didn't obey him that he'd blow up the Biovolt dome in the third match!"

Robert didn't have anything to say to that. He took a deep breath. "That's it then? You're just going to give up?"



"The best I can do is leak information about his plans, and hope that it gets to the Blade Breakers in time." Tala bowed his head in shame. "To think that it came to this, to losing my soul to that creep!"

Again, that awkward silence. Then Tala stepped closer to Robert. "Rob... I'm sorry..." Tala leaned up and, with great trepidation, kissed Robert gently on the lips.

The purple haired teen froze, then returned the kiss, straining against the bonds that held him in place. Hesitance turned to passion. Tala wrapped an arm around the other boy's hips, pulling them closer and steadying Robert.

Tala pulled away with a tiny moan. Robert was panting. Silence had never seemed so loud. "Tala..." Robert asked softly. "Th...that kiss... did you mean it?"

"I did..." Tala leaned his head against Robert's chest. Then he looked up at Robert. "There's something I want you to have..." Tala pulled something out from under his collar. "Because I love you...and I told you too late." Tala looped the necklace around Robert's neck.

"Your triangle... Tala, I can't accept this." Robert shook his head.

"Where I'm going, I won't need it." Tala sobbed. "There's no room for love in Voltaire's army."

"It's sad isn't it?" Robert asked softly. "That we have to leave each other the night we get together."

"It is." Tala nodded, loath to leave his boyfriend now that they were finally together.

"I love you too." Robert said, after a long silence. "You aren't evil. I knew you weren't. We've known each other since we were kids"

"We're a far cry from summer days on the black top with Lee." Tala chuckled.

"Remember the Tiger picture incident?" Robert asked, with a sad chuckle. "Lee got detention for a week because Mr. Takayama caught him!"

"Oh, for the good old days." Tala sighed.

"That's the spirit, think of the good times, not the bad ones that are coming." Robert said, resting his chin on the pillow of red hair.

Another kiss. Tala ground his hips to Robert's. Robert returned the kiss, letting a tiny moan out of his throat. Tala's hands began to wander his back and sides. The friction felt so good, and it relaxed the Majestics' leader, preparing him for what he knew was coming. A blast of emotion, before there was nothing at all, that was the way that it had to be

Too soon, Tala stepped back, going over to a control panel. "Ai Shiteru Robert

"Aich liben, Tala." Robert replied. (1) The tube closed off, and began to fill. Robert prepared himself for death.

(1) Aich Liben- German- I love you, that's just about the only German phrase that I know. Thank you Herr Strauch!
