"Hey, Protoman!" Megaman called, as he linked into the red PET. Silver hair sliced through the air as the red navi spun around in surprise.

"Oh, it's you," Protoman sounded tired, but it was a chore keeping up with the amount of work he got.

"You make it sound like a bad thing," the blue navi chuckled before shrugging it off.

"So why're you here? It's not everyday I get a visitor."

"I actually came to ask you a question."

"Hm, about what? Protoman sounded interested. He knew Megaman was smart and usually kept a clear mind. Yet, the thing he found most intriguing was the uneasiness in his voice.

"It's about a dream I had last night. It, well, I guess you could say it scared me."

"You, scared?"

"I'm serious Protoman. I just need your thoughts on this."

"Sorry. I didn't think this would be so important to you."

"Yeah, well it is," Megaman folded his arms in protest. He was starting to get butterflies about the whole ordeal.

'Should I tell him? What if anybody else finds out? Argh! Why, why, why! Megaman mentally kicked himself. Not that it was helping any.

"Megaman?" Protoman stared at the blue navi, seeing that his eyes were uncharacteristically blank.

"Huh?" Megaman snapped out of his trance.

"You okay?"

"Yeah."

"Alright. So, what was your dream about?"

"Um, it was about Lan."

"Lan? Did something happen to him?"

"Nothing happen in the dream, but he was crying."

"You do know that it's humanly impossible for Lan to cry."

"I know," he paused to think of what else occurred. "Lan was unresponsive to anything I said or did. Except for one thing."

"And what was that?"

"I hugged him. He felt so real and warm. His skin was soft and silky. And yet-" Megaman was cut off.

"I think that's enough."

"Hehe. Sorry."

"It's fine, but I think I know your problem."

"Really? What would that be?"

"Don't take my word for it, but I think you love him. And I'm not just talking friendly love. I mean passionately. If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me."

Megaman was silent, looking at the ground and scuffing his foot.

"I'm right, aren't I?"

All Protoman got was a soft nod.

"You don't have to be afraid of loving someone."

"But Protoman, Lan's a guy. So am I."

"So, you shouldn't let that get in you way."

"You think so?"

"Go for it."

"Um, thanks Protoman. I mean it."

"You're plenty welcome. Tell Lan. I'm sure he'll accept it and you."

"Thanks."

And with that, Megaman left to tell Lan his secret.

Please R&R.
