Chapter 3: Weird Behavior (Third Person POV)
Nyx let out a loud and grouchy groan as she woke up the next morning, she even snarled and growled at little at the piercing headache she had. "Owww...my head...what happened? Ugh I'm so thirsty...", she moaned. Suddenly a glass of water came into her line of vision, she looked up to see that it was Metal Sonic holding it out to her. "Oh um thanks", she mumbled.
"You are welcome, Master Unit Alpha. Your hydration level was low so it seemed logical to bring you a glass of dihydrogen monoxide. If you are inquiring about the whereabouts of Master Unit Beta, he has stepped out for the moment", replied Metal Sonic.
Nyx knew Metal Sonic was referring to Infinite so she just shrugged and accepted the water, guzzling it down in one gulp. "Well that cures my life thirst, but now I'm super hungry!", she grumbled. Metal Sonic walked over to the table and picked up the room service menu, "Would you like me to inform the room service to bring you up a meal?", he asked.
Nyx's stomach growled at the thought of food, so she wrote down what she wanted on a piece of paper and handed to Metal Sonic. "Here's what I want, Metal. Make sure they know exactly how I want it, its all expense paid so it had better be the way I want it", she said.
Metal Sonic dialed the number for the room service and waited for the phone to pick up, "Hello room service, how may we help you?", said a woman on the other end. "I am calling from Room 10G, the current hotel guest, and my master, Nyx Snowfall has instructed me to inform you that she requires a morning meal. She would like a platter of sunny side-up eggs, bacon, sausage, ham and a 7 ounce sirloin steak, well-done and don't skip on the gravy. Oh and she requires a pitcher of orange juice as well", said Metal Sonic.
"Oh my, that's quite the breakfast but worry not, we'll have it up there in about ten minutes or so", said the woman. It was exactly ten minutes before room service knocked on the door and Metal opened it to let the maid wheel in the cart that held Nyx's extravagant breakfast. "Hey ma'am, did you by any chance see my husband on the way up here? He's got jet black fur and long white hair", said Nyx. "Oh yes, he's at the indoor pool taking a swim. It is a good form of exercise, especially in the morning. Well I'll just leave your food there, call if you need anything else", said the maid.
She wheeled the now empty cart back towards the door, stopping only for a second to glance at Metal Sonic. "Oh, what an adorable little robot you have. Let us know if he needs anything as well, we do have containers of oil we use for powering the heating system", she said as she left. "Did you hear that, Metal? She said you were adorable", said Nyx with a smirk. "Compliment registered, initiate bashful mode", said Metal Sonic as his metallic muzzle turned bright red to signify he was blushing.
Nyx laughed, in addition to reprogramming him with the directive of being a good robot, Tails had also given Metal Sonic a program to simulate emotions; Nyx asked him to do so because she didn't think it was fair that Metal still just acted like a cold unfeeling machine while Orbot and Cubot had their own unique personalities, despite it being quite clear how dimwitted they were.
So now Metal Sonic had the ability to register and simulate emotions, such as now when he felt bashful towards the compliment the maid gave him, his internal heating system activated in his muzzle causing it to turn red to simulate blushing.
Nyx sat at the table and began to gorge herself on the large and rather meat-centric breakfast she ordered, though she didn't use any utensils and just opted to eating with her hands and she also ate the food in a ravenous manner as if she was starving. "Shouldn't you be utilizing the utensils? Were they not created for the purpose of using them as tools to consume meals?", asked Metal Sonic. Nyx looked up from where she was tearing into her steak and growled at him, "When I want your opinion, I'll ask for it! Until then, shut your voice box Metal and let me eat in peace!", she said in an almost angry tone.
Metal Sonic was taken aback by his new master's sudden mood shift; he hadn't known her too long but he knew her enough to know she was kind and polite Mobian, a stark contrast from Dr. Eggman but this sudden unwarranted aggression from her was very off putting.
Just as Nyx finished her breakfast, she looked up and saw that Metal Sonic's eyes had shifted to form pixelated sad eyes; suddenly, she ran towards him and engulfed him in a tight hug, crying hysterically. "Oh my gosh Metal, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean...I just...", she trailed off when Metal placed his metallic finger over her lips. "Apology not required. It was my error to interrupt you while eating, thus I am the one who should be apologizing", he said.
Nyx took him by surprise again when she out of nowhere stopped crying and adopted a wide smile on her face, "Oh okay! Glad to know we're still friends! Anyway, if Infinite comes in, tell him I'm in the shower", she said as she went into the bathroom. Just then, Infinite walked in through the door wearing a pair of green swim trunks, a towel around his neck and drinking a bottle of apple juice. "Master Unit Beta, I believe there is something wrong with Master Unit Alpha. She just recently exhibited radical shifts in mood and tone, should we be concerned?", said Metal Sonic.
Infinite laughed, "Oh Metal, you've got a lot to learn about how organic lifeforms function. There's nothing wrong with Nyx, that's just how women behave sometimes. It's perfectly normal and so, no you shouldn't be concerned", he said. Metal Sonic was still a bit skeptical, as a machine capable of intelligence far beyond that of an organic lifeform, he refused to believe it was normal behavior but as a robot programmed to obey the word of its master, he chose not to question Infinite further.
"Very well. Master Unit Alpha also wished for me to inform you upon your return that she is currently in the lavatory", said Metal. Infinite walked over to the bathroom door and knocked on it twice, "Hey Nyx, when you're done, I was thinking we could go to the theater and see a movie. There were several that caught my eyes but I wanna you what you want to watch", he said. The bathroom door then opened to reveal Nyx wearing a pink bathrobe and a sultry look on her face; she giggled as she grabbed Infinite by the arm and dragged him into the bathroom, the door slamming shut behind him.
This caught Metal Sonic by surprise as he stood near a power outlet recharging his battery supply; from where he stood he could hear rather intimate sounds coming from the bathroom, which included growls, snarls and soft howling. After forty five minutes, Infinite walked out of the bathroom with his long hair a mess and his swim trunks on backwards. "I shall not inquire about what went on in the lavatory between you and Master Unit Alpha, I heard everything with my audio sensors", he said.
Infinite shrugged it off as he went about combing his hair and changing into some dry and less smelly clothes; during his "fun time" in the bathroom with Nyx, she told him which movie she wanted to watch: a sci-fi romance film called "Interstellar Heartbreak", it was about two alien friends who travel the cosmos in search of a cure to a disease that's rapidly killing their people while slowly discovering their feelings for one another.
Nyx walked out of the bathroom, this time wearing a red halter top, jean shorts and red flip flops; it was late spring in Spagonia, which was known for its tropical weather, so she was dressed appropriately.
They left the room and went over to the resort's movie theater; they made a quick stop by the concession stand where Nyx acquired herself an extra large funnel cake topped with vanilla ice cream and a raspberry slushy while Infinite, weirded out by that, just settled for a hotdog and a diet soda. She sure is eating quite a lot...I hope she's careful and doesn't start getting fat, thought Infinite as they walked into the theater.
The movie started and it seemed like a rather rousing adventure filled with drama and mystery but halfway through the movie, Nyx stood up claiming she had to use the bathroom; the last thirty minutes of the film played out as Infinite soon realized that Nyx was in the bathroom for quite longer than anyone reasonably would be. He walked over to the ladies room after the movie ended and asked a female raccoon who had just stepped out if she had seen Nyx.
The raccoon said that she had seen the purple wolf girl in the bathroom but she left twenty minutes ago; Infinite went back upstairs to their room to find Nyx fast asleep on their bed, it confused him as to why she was acting this way. Infinite didn't want it to bother him too much, especially since they just got married and it was far too soon for them to start arguing with each other, but Nyx's behavior was now confusing on top of being annoying.
And this continued to happen for the entire week.
Yes, for the rest of the week they were at the resort, all Nyx did was either sleep, eat large quantities of food, mostly meat and pastries, and pull Infinite into another session of intimacy; that last one he wasn't all too bothered by as he had never experienced it prior to now but Infinite was bothered by the constant sleeping and meat/sweets eating, he didn't understand why Nyx suddenly started doing this.
And it didn't stop there, Nyx was also experiencing total whiplash of the mood; sometimes when she and Infinite sat on the bed and watched TV, he'd move closer to her so they'd cuddle but she'd drive him off by growling angrily and threatening to hurt him. Other times when they'd sit there and Infinite didn't try to cuddle, Nyx would go into a deep crying fit asking him why he was so far away from her, despite only being about six inches away, and so he'd cuddle her which made her stop crying almost instantaneously.
And other times, Nyx had turned into quite the minx; every so often when she had the chance, she'd drag Infinite into another round of vigorous love making, which always left him drained afterwards; every time Infinite laid down to get a minute of sleep, Nyx would climb on top of him and have her way with him. At this point, Infinite was beyond disturbed by this and was silently praying the week would end soon so he could get some alone time from Nyx long enough to figure out what was going on.
Soon the week was over and the couple and their robot companion had packed up and were ready to go back home. Infinite had called Tails and asked for a ride home in the X Tornado as he didn't think he could last two hours sitting on an actual plane with Nyx acting the way she was. Thankfully she just slept quietly on the ride back and even continued to sleep when they went back to the house.
Orbot and Cubot, who had been house sitting, were playing cards when they noticed the two walk in along with their robotic brother. "Oh look, they're back", said Orbot. "How was your trip? Did you take lots of pictures?", asked Cubot. Nyx ignored both of them and went upstairs to sleep, Metal Sonic sat on the couch behind his two robot brothers and Infinite went over to the phone to make a call.
"Hello? Yes its me, Nyx and I just got back this morning. Can you do me a favor? Do you think you and Rouge could meet me in town in a few minutes? I need to talk to you about Nyx, something is going on with her and you two are the only ones I can think of who might know what to do. Okay thanks, bye", he said before hanging up the phone. The person he just finished talking to was Amy, Infinite realized if he wanted answers to his wife's odd behavior, he'd need to ask her two female friends, whom she loved like sisters, for help.
He then turned to the three robots, "I'm going into town for a bit, I'll be back in a little while. Keep an eye on Nyx and get her whatever she needs", he said before leaving. Five minutes later, Infinite met up with Amy and Rouge outside this cafe that they and Nyx liked to hang out in, "So...what's up with Nyx? You two have marital issues already?", said Rouge.
"What? No of course we aren't, its just...during our stay at the resort everything seemed fine. On the first night, Nyx and I ordered room service, had some wine, a bit too much I might add, and...we made love for the first time. But the day after that and for the rest of the week, she's been acting different: she's been sleeping an awful lot, been consuming large amounts of meat and sweets, having these strange out-of-nowhere mood shifts and has been very lusty towards me.
"I asked you two here because, other than Sonic, you two are her best friends and I figured this was a woman issue so I'd get help from the only two women I know personally. Tell me what's wrong with Nyx, is she sick? Is she dying? Please tell me it isn't the latter, I've started my new life with her, I don't I have the strength to lose her now", said Infinite in a sad tone of voice.
He was then caught off guard when Amy and Rouge started laughing their heads off, "I'm sorry...was there something funny about what I just said?", asked Infinite as he was beginning to get angry. The girls calmed down before looking at him like he was stupid, "No Infinite, we're laughing because you can't see the obvious thing that's going on here", said Amy with a smile. Now Infinite was confused, "I don't understand... what do you mean?", he asked.
Rouge leaned forward and placed her hand on his, "Infinite, isn't it obvious? The constant sleeping, the meat/sweet eating, the mood shifts, the constant lusting after you...Nyx isn't sick or dying, she's pregnant", she said.
