A certain someone who just so happened to look like Eva appeared behind him. Faye enjoyed teasing Neil about his love interest.
"Hey Neil...I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me?" She teased him once again
"..." Not a single word came from the Scientist
Faye had a confused look on her face and turned back to her original appearance
"Uh..Neil?" She said to him walking, or well. floating towards him
Once again. no words came out of him
"Uh..are you ok?" She said snapping her fingers in front of him
Finally Neil spoke up "Not now Faye" he said as he walked away from her.
Faye looked at Neil with a confused look and walked towards him "what happened Neil?"
"Nothing, can we stop talking about this?" He said as he looked at her with a stern face
"Neil, cmon. What happened?" She said crossing her arms at him
"Please stop asking" he said once again, walking away
As he walked away, Faye suddenly appeared in front of him
"Neil. What. Happened?" She said getting serious about this
"Why do you want to so know bad?" Neil said sounding depressed
"Because I was a good friend to Colin, basically why he created me. and we're friends. So that means I'm gonna be a good friend to you. Now tell me what's wrong"
After a long while of staring at each other. Neil knew she wasn't gonna give up. So he decided to just get it over with.
"Fine. You win" he said as Faye did a victory smile
"I was planning to confess to Eva today and-"
"Oh finally" Faye teased interrupting him but stopped as Neil looked at her "Sorry, continue"
"When I did go to confess to her...I...I..." he sighed "she already had someone" he said sadly
"Wait what? Who?" Faye asked confused
"Taima's stupid nephew, JaCoB" Neil said mockingly "I can't believe this..my entire life..I loved her..and the one day I finally go to confess to her!" He said as he looked like he was about to cry
Faye just stood there silently looking at Neil, after a while she finally spoke up putting her hand on his shoulder "Neil..."
"Just leave me alone Faye!" Neil said finally snapping with tears in his eyes "Don't try to make me feel better. Nothings gonna work! The love of my life has someone else and I have no one!"
Faye just looked at him. Not saying a word as Neil looked away from her still crying
Neil didn't know what to do until something unexpected happened.
Faye Hugged him. "Neil. Listen. I know you're hurting, But listen to me. You were the first person I talked to, besides Colin. And I know that you are very caring. All the people. You, well you and Eva have made happy. And what you did for me...I want to say thank you and I know there's someone out there for you. So don't give up ok?"
After a while. Faye stopped hugging as Neil wiped his tears away and looked at Faye "T-thanks Faye..Colin really did make the perfect friend for him"
"And for others too" she said smiling at him "feel better?"
"Y-yeah..thanks.." he said giving the same smile to her "I gotta go, have work"
"Alright." Faye said happy that she helped him as Neil exited his terminal
As Neil took off the helmet, he yawned and got into bed as a small smile appeared on his face.
