Netto made his way back to Enzan's mansion slowly, mulling over what had just happened.

"Think we can trust Delilah?" Rockman asked.

Netto shook his head, "I don't know," he said. "What do you think?"

"I asked first," Rockman said.

Netto sighed, "I want to believe her." He thought silently for a few minutes, "Yeah, I think we can trust her."

Rockman nodded, "I agree. She doesn't seem to be the kind of person to go back on her word."

"So we won't tell Enzan?" Netto asked.

Rockman nodded vigorously, "Not yet."

"He'd probably ban me from ever going outside again," Netto said dryly.

Rockman laughed, "Probably not," he agreed.

They talked about net battling techniques the rest of the way to Enzan's house. When the large building loomed into view both of them sighed at the same time.

"He's going to guess something happened as soon as we walk in, isn't he?" Netto asked.

Rockman nodded, "Probably. At the very least he will ask what we did today."

Netto made a face, "He like a mom."

Rockman laughed, "You better not tell him that."

Netto smiled and walked up to the door, "Don't worry. When I want to die I'll say that." Netto opened the door and walked inside the mansion.

"Hello?" Rockman called out.

"In here!" Enzan called from the living room. Netto went into the living room to find Enzan sprawled across the couch, very un-Enzan like.

"You okay?" Netto asked tentatively.

"No," Enzan grunted.

"What's wrong?" Netto asked, sitting next to Enzan on the couch.

"Ever since you left the Net Police because of you current," Enzan paused. "Issues, there have been a lot of missions."

Netto frowned, "Maybe I…"

"Don't finish that," Enzan said. "You do not need to be out anymore then you already are. Much less in the open around people who know you."

/We're not mentioning Delilah/ Netto said to Rockman.

/Nope/ Rockman agreed.

"Well, if you're so stressed then maybe you need help of some kind," Netto suggested.

Enzan raised his eyebrow, "You really care that much? That's rare."

Netto blushed and looked away, "Not really, you just work too much. It makes you less fun to be around."

Blues smiled and Rockman caught it. "Rough day?" he asked quietly.

"Try rough week," Blues said.

"Crabby?" Rockman asked.

"Let's put it this way, his attitude is like Netto-kun just waking up, only all day," Blues replied.

"Ouch," Rockman said.

"Come on Enzan, this pace is going to kill you," Netto said, genuinely worried.

Enzan shrugged. "I don't care, I've handled worse."

Netto put his ears back and pinned Enzan to the couch. "So what!" he said. "You can't laugh it off like you're okay. Want to know why you got sick? It's because you do nothing but work!"

"He's probably right," Blues muttered.

Enzan pushed Netto off of him and glared at the brunette. "I can do whatever I damn well please. I don't need someone telling me how to live my life."

"Yes you do!" Netto hissed. "You think I live dangerously. You should look at the way you live from an outside view; if I did half the things you did would you yell at me?"

Enzan looked startled. He thought about it and agreed with Netto mentally, however he was not going to loose this argument. "No, because what I do is for the better of other people."

"Really? If that's so, then let me go on a mission. That's for the better of other people as well," Netto said crossing his arms.

Enzan opened his mouth and gaped like a fish.

"My god, Netto-kun won an argument, against Enzan-san of all people," Rockman said to blues.

Blues smiled sadly, "I saw this one coming from a mile away."

Rockman nodded, "He kinda did walk into it, didn't he."

Enzan looked annoyed, "Listen, that's different…" he said.

"How!" Netto asked before he could finish.

"Because, I don't need a babysitter, unlike you!" Enzan yelled.

Netto looked at him with a brief hurt expression in his eyes. "Fine, do whatever the hell you want. I'm going upstairs," he said and walked out of the room.

"Way to go Enzan-sama," Blues said to his operator.

"I didn't mean it like that…" he said.

"Enzan-san, Netto-kun isn't one to take insults like that lightly. Maybe you should apologize?" Rockman suggested gently.

Enzan's eyes hardened and he crossed his arms. "Like I would ever apologize to him," he said.

Rockman shrugged, "Suit yourself."

Blues put his hand on Rockman's shoulder. "Maybe we should leave for a little while," he said silently.

"But they'll kill each other!" Rockman answered.

Blues shook his head, "Trust me, they need to be alone."

Rockman looked at Blues' face and sighed. "I guess you're right."

Blues smiled and the two navi's left the house to let their operators sort out their problems.

Netto had flung himself on his bed and he waited for his brother to come console him. Rockman never came and Netto was even more hurt then he was before. Didn't his navi care?

He flipped onto his back and stared at the ceiling. "Stupid Enzan," he muttered.

It's not like the jerk was worth his thoughts anyway. Right?

Enzan lay on the couch with his arm over his eyes. He knew he hurt Netto when he said that, but it was true, right? Why should he apologize for simply stating the truth?

Besides, he had said much meaner things to other people. It wasn't like being rude was new for him.

But, those people didn't matter.

Netto did.

He sat up cursing himself, as much as he hated to admit it, the younger boy mattered to him very much.

"Curse my conscience," he said.

Enzan found Netto lying on his bed muttering to himself. The one thing he could make out was, "That stupid Enzan."

"I'm not that bad, am I?" Enzan asked, coming into the room.

Netto sat up, startled. "E-enzan!" Then his expression darkened. "What are you doing here?"

Enzan gave him a crooked smile. "I guess I deserved that."

Netto glared at him and flopped back on his bed. "Here to babysit me?"

Enzan winced, Netto really was hurt by that remark. "Sorry about that."

Netto's ears flipped to Enzan's voice. "Does my hearing deceive me?" he asked sarcastically. "Is the almighty Enzan-sama apologizing?"

Enzan glared at Netto. "Hey, I came up here to apologize. I'm trying to be nice!"

"You're not just doing what Rockman and Blues told you to?" Netto asked a little surprised.

"No, I haven't seen them since the argument," Enzan replied.

Netto sat up and Enzan joined him on the bed. "So, you really mean it?" Netto asked.

Enzan nodded, "Of course I mean it. You mean a lot to me, Netto."

Netto gave him a goofy smile, "Really?"

Enzan rolled his eyes, "Yes."

"Really really?" Netto giggled.

Enzan sighed and pulled Netto into his lap and started to play with his ears. "Really really, now will you shut up about it?"

Netto leaned into Enzan touch, purring. "Sorry, I'm just getting over the shock that you actually apologized on your own."

"You're worth it," Enzan said.

"Really?"

"Shut up."

The routine of normalcy returned to the household for a few precious days. Enzan went to work, Netto stayed home. Rockman listened to Netto complain and in turn he complained to Blues who in the end tried to make things as fair as he possibly could.

It wasn't exactly the ideal way of life but it was enough that it let Enzan and Netto mull over their ever growing emotions. Rockman and Blues were definitely more in tune to what was going on, but that was always the case so it didn't bother them all that much. What was annoying was when it seemed that the two would have nothing to do with each other just for the sake of an argument, which they had been having a lot of lately.

"Can't they just not argue, for one day," Rockman sighed to Blues one night.

"Rockman, it's in their personality to argue. I think it's why they became friends," Blues said with a hint of a smile.

Rockman crossed his arms. "But it's getting really annoying," he said exsperatedly.

Blues frowned. "You're not this stressed very often Rockman, what's wrong?"

"Netto-kun," Rockman said darkly.

Blues raised an unseen eyebrow.

"Don't misunderstand, he's not doing it on purpose, but…" Rockman tried to explain it.

"His thoughts?" Blues asked.

"Yes and no. More so his emotions. I can tell when he's upset, sad, scared, or really if he has an extreme emotion then I can feel it. Same goes with him for me, it's kinda like our thoughts but not really," Rockman said.

"So, you can sense his emotions for Enzan?" Blues asked, a little surprised.

"Kinda," Rockman said. "I mean it's not like I'm hypersensitive to him. It's just when he's really upset or really happy. Most of the time it's fine," Rockman said.

"So when they argue," Blues mused. "Netto-kun gets really upset and you have to help calm him down or you feel it too,"

Rockman nodded. "It's not quite that black and white, but it's close enough."

"That's what the link does?" Blues asked.

"That, and it saves our lives when we fight," Rockman smiled.

"Ah," Blues said. "Well, I can't really tell you anything but to wait it out, maybe something will happen soon that will calm them down."

"I hope so," Rockman sighed.

"Hey, Rockman, can I ask you something?" Blues said suddenly.

"Aside from the question you just asked me?" Rockman smiled. "Sure."

"Do you ever regret having the link?" he asked.

Rockman shook his head. "No, first of all it wasn't my decision and it was made to keep me alive. I can't regret something that was done to save my life. Second of all, I like being close to Netto-kun in some way. Because he's human and I'm a navi we can't really be together. I guess the link is as close as we'll get."

Blues nodded, "That makes sense. You're very calm about all of this."

"You mean all of the arguing?" Rockman asked.

Blues nodded.

"No so much calm as hiding it well."

"Then why don't you tell Netto-kun?" Blues asked. "I'm sure he would understand."

Rockman shook his head. "No, I don't want to put that kind of guilt on him. He doesn't even realize he's doing it and he has enough problems right now."

"Who has problems?" Netto asked from the com link.

Rockman and Blues jumped at the intrusion. Netto smiled slyly. "Oh, am I intruding on something?"

"Don't be silly Netto-kun," Rockman said. "We're talking about how annoying you and Enzan get when you argue."

Netto stuck his tongue out at them and crossed his arms. "He starts it."

Rockman sighed. "Netto-kun, no one starts anything. You two just argue. It's the way you talk for some reason."

"Well if he would just stop being so," Netto searched for the right word. "Annoying, then maybe I wouldn't be so…"

"Annoying?" Rockman asked.

"Shut up," Netto muttered.

"Netto-kun, if Enzan-sama is being as annoying as you say then maybe you should just try and talk to him instead of picking a fight," Blues said.

"I don't pick fights with Enzan…" Netto said.

"Yes you do," Rockman and Blues retorted.

"And he does the same with you," Rockman pointed out.

"Whatever," Netto said and walked away from the monitor.

"Think he'll listen?" Rockman asked.

"Who knows? Maybe Enzan-sama has already come to the conclusion himself."

Netto walked down the halls muttering to himself. He didn't pick fights with Enzan, he just said stupid stuff that makes him angry.

'Then why are you the first one to talk most of the time,' a tiny voice in his head asked him.

Netto brushed that thought away and walked towards his room. Before he could make it Enzan caught up with him and put his hand on his shoulder. "Netto, we need to talk," Enzan said.

"I don't feel like it," Netto said and walked towards the door.

Enzan sighed and grabbed Netto's tail making the smaller boy spin around and glare at Enzan.

"What the hell was that for?" he yelled.

"I want to talk. Were you aware that you're driving your brother insane by being mad at me all the time?" Enzan asked heatedly.

Netto blinked, "N-no… who told you that?"

"Rockman did, well, he told Blues and I happened to overhear," Enzan said.

"You were eavesdropping," Netto said flatly.

"You'd be amazed at what our navi's tell each other about us," Enzan said.

"What do you mean by I'm driving him crazy?" Netto asked.

"I mean, when you're mad at me he feels it. Netto, arguing like this isn't being fair to our navis. I just want to know here and now, what's wrong?"

Netto's eyes flashed angrily. "Enzan, I know you tell me that you don't want to ruin our friendship or whatever the hell we have, but you have to back off. I want to try and do whatever I possibly can while this stupid virus is out and you're making that very difficult. I can't go on missions, I can't hang out with my friends, I'm even starting to miss school."

"Is that what's been bugging you?" Enzan asked.

"For only the past month, yes," Netto said.

Enzan sighed. "Would it make you feel better if I let you take a mission?" he asked.

Netto's eyes widened. "Really?" he asked.

Enzan grimaced and nodded against his better judgment. "But only if I'm with you," he added quickly.

"Yay!" Netto cheered and glomped Enzan.

Enzan looked kindly at the younger boy in his arms. "I take that as a yes?" he asked.

Netto nodded happily and Enzan relaxed for the first time in days. "Good," he said.

OOOOOOOOOOOOO

With all disagreements aside the four decided to have a movie night in celebration. "What are we gonna watch?" Netto asked.

"Well, that remains to be seen," Enzan replied.

OOOOOOOOOOOOO

Yes, it's a blatant and obvious ploy for reviews. Tell me what movie you want them to watch! Depending on if I've seen it, and if I deem it okay, and majority, I'll write it in.
