On the way back to base, comet was silent the entire way as she was still trying to process the thought that zanxix had actually kissed her... why did he even do it...? Just to shut her up? Like that's a good tactic to shut someone up... she thought bitterly
"I never seen stitchers so close to the base before... I wonder if there getting bolder... what do you think zanxix?" Crazy scooter said as the group neared the base and zanxix shrugged, "I don't know honestly... I guess they are getting bolder, but they are pretty stupid so it won't be to hard to beat them..." he said as scooter shrugged
When they returned to base, it was pretty dark and after they told them there findings, a small battle group was sent to deal with the stitchers, as comet was heading back to her quarters, she saw Lily and zanxix talking and sneaking a few kisses here and there, comet sighed and shook her head, trying to push all these thoughts into the back of her head...
forget it comet... he doesn't love you... you know why he kissed you back there... just because you were- well... are a loud mouth and he was just trying to shut you up... just forget it all comet... she thought as she closed her door behind her and tossed her backpack somewhere it wouldn't get away and changed out of her clothes and into sleepwear and sat on the bed, all these thoughts still swimming in her head...
She looked up as she heard someone knocking on the door and got up and opened it to see zanxix standing there, "aren't you supposed to be sucking face with your little girlfriend or whatever..."Comet said bitterly
"I just came to get my stuff, you do remember yesterday was my last night here right?" He said and comet rolled her eyes
"Just get your stuff then get out..." she muttered and moved aside so zanxix could enter and closed the door and walked back to her bed, sitting on it once more, frowning as she stared at her feet
"Why are you so jealous of lily she's such a whore anyway...?" Comet looked up to see zanxix leaning against the door, staring at her back...
"I'm not jealous... I just get a bad vibe from her is all..." Comet murmured
"Then why do you look so pissed whenever me and her are together?"
"Because she's a whore and I don't like how it took you literally a damn month just to get together!" Comet hissed as she stood up and stomped in front of where zanxix was standing and glared daggers at him
"And another thing, how can you not get a bad vibe from her?! She's all kinds of mysterious! Saying she survived outside this place for who knows how long and THEN just discovering this place randomly..." Comet growled as she began to ramble and rant, her voice getting louder as she kept talking
"Comet will you shut up so you don't wake up anyone else?" Zanxix hissed, "how about you shut up and listen to me!" Comet hissed and began ranting again
Zanxix sighed and shook his head as he placed a hand on her bill, muffling her little speech and she glared at him, although she didn't expect what happened next..
Zanxix removed his hand and comet was about to open her bill again and start ranting again, but zanxix quickly leaned in and captured her lips in a kiss, but this one... felt different in a way... Comet froze and for a moment, she felt.. something... she didn't know what it was but it felt.. nice so to say...
Comet blinked a few times before closing her eyes and kissing back, zanxix wrapped an arm around her waist and gently cupped her face with his other hand, comet wrapping her arms around his neck, and comet knew this was probably one of the worst things she even did, kissing another woman's man, but right now she just wanted to just savor this moment just a bit longer...
But a feeling of dread from breaking her own word washed over her and she pulled away and tried to catch her breath as she looked away, she couldn't believe she did that.. she couldn't believe she broke her own word... she stayed true to it for so long... how could she just break it like that?!
Zanxix removed his arm from her waist and removed his hand, and cleared his throat awkwardly, "I... um.. well... uh..."
"S-s-see... see... y-you in t-t-the m-m-morning...?" Comet stuttered and zanxix nodded, comet opened the door for him and watched him walk away and quickly closed the door behind her, leaning against it and sinking to the floor, feeling a mixture of emotions...
ugh... good God why did I just do that...? I should just keep my big old bill shut from now on... she sighed and looked up at the ceiling, a thought kept tugging at her brain but she didn't agree with it, but.. she knew she couldn't sleep after what happened so, why the hell not...
After about 5 or so minutes of walking, comet was standing in front of astrons quarters and knocked on the door, she was about to say her name when the door opened and astron stepped aside, inviting her in. She accepted and walked in, "sorry for coming by this late..." she muttered and astron shook his head, "it's quite alright... you seem stressed, can't sleep?" He asked and comet nodded, sitting on the edge of his bed and buried her face in her hands signing
"I.. I kind of... uh.. well, it's a long story and I don't feel like explaining right now..." she mumbled and stared at the floor, frowning and astron nodded, "I know the feeling... to see the one you love be smitten with someone else and be with them, seemingly happy..." he said
"Do you want something to drink?" He asked and comet nodded, astron stood up and got a glass of water and handed it to her
Comet sipped the drink as she and astron chatted, but a minute later, comet felt her mind starting to get fuzzy and everything was moving slightly... astron noticed and looked at her concerned, "are you alright comet? Is it... something in the drink...?" He asked and comet shook her head, "no... I'm fine..." she said and was about to take another sip but then she remembered when he tried to kiss her, and the way he acted that day on the first day of training... and suddenly it all clicked...
Comet dropped the glass onto the floor, it shattering into pieces and bolted for the door but didn't even make it halfway before falling to the floor, everything was spinning in a sickening blur and her vision was blurred to the point of only seeing dots of this and that... she heard astron chuckling and she felt herself being lifted into someone's arms..
"Oh comet... your so adorable, trying to get away from me like that... but don't worry, your safe with me... no one will ever hurt you or anything... ever again... now, get... some... rest..." she heard a voice say before everything went black...
