Hello! This is a blooming romance between Six/Rex. I do not own Generator Rex MOA does. If I DID own Generator Rex, it would go like this:

Note: I want this closer to "Realistic" so Rex isn't as uber powered and uninjurable as he is on the show. Also, Six will eventually become somewhat OOC but this is my vision of who he is without his stony stoic mask.

Spirit began her new lessons a couple of weeks ago. Today was her first lesson in acrobatics and martial arts with her daddy. She had mixed feelings. While she didn't want to disobey her father, she also didn't want to learn how to hurt people. It would defeat the purpose of being able to heal!

Her mind wondered a little towards Kenwyn. She was a bit dull but really nice! Spirit loved learning from her! The older girl put her hair up in pigtails for dancing.

Spirit's attention went back to her father who was showing her basic moves and correcting her stances here and there. He nitpicked over the littlest things just like Kenwyn did but Spirit was determined to make her father proud so she obeyed his every word for the next two hours.

"That's it for today. I want you to practice your kata for the next week and we'll advance from there if you have improved enough," Six said in a straight-faced manner.

Spirit nodded and bowed to her sensei before flopping down on the tatami mat in exhaustion. She wondered how someone so old could be so energetic…

Six smirked, "You did good."

Spirit grinned and hugged him before going for a shower. She had homework to finish now as she went to meet with Rex. Spirit was having issues with long division… Meanwhile, Six began to work on his secret project.

Holiday knocked on his door. He quickly covered up the project.

"Come in!"

Holiday entered and looked around, "A piano? Is that paint?"

Six frowned, "Yes."

"I wasn't aware that you did either."

"They're not the most necessary job skills when you fight EVOs for a living."

Holiday sighed, "No I suppose not."

"Something you want?"

"To talk. We never do that anymore."

"We never did much of that to begin with," Six said with a raised eyebrow.

"Well we do it even less now," Holiday said, growing aggravated.

Six frowned, "I have a daughter to raise. Not to mention whatever the hell is wrong with Rex."

"What's wrong with Rex? His biometrics are fine."

"That's our business for now… It will sort itself out in the end."

"Did you ever stop to think that I could help?"

Six sighed, "Holiday… I'm fairly certain whatever is going through that boy's head cannot be uncovered by science."

Holiday sighed, "Well it's clear that you are busy… I'll leave you alone."

She turned and left. Six frowned, wondering what was going on with her now and why he seemed to be the last sane person in Providence. He turned back to his project with a frown.

It was dinnertime when he finished. He went to gather his little girl but found that she wasn't in her room.

Six sighed. He had sent in the adoption papers a couple of weeks ago and had yet to hear from anyone. The wait was seriously testing his patience. He wanted so much for that little girl to officially be his daughter…

Six went to Rex's room and found the pair of them cuddled up on Rex's bed. Rex was lying on his back with an arm behind his head and his other arm draped around Spirit who was sprawled out on his chest.

Six covered them up with a blanket. He smoothed out Spirit's tangled curls with a smile. Six looked to Rex and sighed…

He leaned down and hesitantly pressed a soft kiss on the younger man's forehead, carefully removing his goggles and setting them on the table. Six left the room feeling oddly warm and content… He went to the kitchen and began to make dinner.

Rex's eyes cracked open and he smirked. His face heated up and his heart hammered against his chest. He had to bite his lip to keep from voicing his excitement and waking the little girl on his chest.

'Six has feelings for me!'

Rex was too excited to sleep now… He stared up at the ceiling with a big goofy grin on his face.

Six went to get them roughly and hour or so later. His tie was off as was his blazer. His shirtsleeves were rolled up. He gently shook Rex who had managed to doze off. The younger man jumped, waking Spirit who glared up at him.

The two men laughed. Spirit was cuter than she was frightening. Six took her from him. Spirit yawned and put her arms around his neck, resting her head on his shoulder.

Six frowned. Rex knew why… Spirit was ten but her weight and height was that of an average seven year old. That place really messed her up…

Rex patted her on the back, "You okay mija?"

Spirit gave him a confused look but nodded nonetheless.

They went to the kitchen where the wonderful smell of spicy Jambalaya filled the air. Six had made some special for Spirit. It was considerably less spicy. The three of them sat down and ate like a family. It was… Nice. It was the first time that Six truly felt at home in this place… He sighed, wondering why that was.

Rex was still completely blown away by the fact that Six could cook. He glanced over at the object of his affections and desires.

"Why Creole food?" Rex asked.

Six smirked, "You've clearly never been to New Orleans."

Rex grinned, "Want to go sometime?"

Six went silent for a bit, "Sure. I'd like to see how the repairs are coming."

Rex's eyes widened, "Wait… You disappeared for a while… Dude! You went to help rebuild!"

Six smirked and shrugged, "It's a wonderful place. Beautiful architecture, fantastic food, great music…"

"Yeah… I've heard you play. You're really good."

Six blushed faintly and gave him a sexy crooked smile that made his mind go blank. It was around this time that the others came in. Callan sat across from Spirit and asked her how her history homework was going.

"Already finished!" She signed with a grin.

Callan gave her a lazy smirk, "You're getting to be very efficient, just like your father."

A huge grin spread across Spirit's face. She loved to be compared to her dear father. She thought he was the best person in the world!

Cesar sat next to Callan with a laugh, "Looks like you just made her day."

"I reckon I did…"

Holiday sat across from Six and noticed that Rex kept giving the older man a sideways glance. She wondered just what was going on between the two…

Six stood and made his way to the stove.

Rex turned in his seat, "What are you doing now?"

"Dessert. Banana's Foster."

"Pretty impressive."

Six smirked.

"What do you think mija? You want to learn how to cook like your daddy?"

Spirit nodded.

"Me too. What do you say, Six?"

"Depends… What are you going to do for me?"

Rex blushed and thought, 'Anything you want.'

"Er… Actually follow orders?"

Six snorted, "Mine. Not White's."

"Like I'd ever listen to him anyway. What are you going to give your daddy mija?"

Spirit thought for a second and hopped out of her chair. She tugged on Six's shirt and waited until the man knelt to her level. Spirit wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a kiss on the cheek. It was the first time she had ever done so. Six gave her a gentle smile and hugged her close.

"Thank you baby," he said, giving her a kiss on the forehead.

"Awww! Mija is so cute!" Rex said as he scooped her up so Six could return to cooking.

He placed her on the counter and they watched.

Six gave them an amused look and served them his version of Banana's Foster, which has a chocolate caramel bourbon sauce poured over the caramelized bananas and the vanilla ice cream. The bourbon was a mere after note so it was just barely noticeable, which was part of what made it so damn good…

As Six went along, making desert for the others, he swore to only do this once. A piece of gooy banana toped with ice cream was shoved in his face. He glanced over at his daughter and smiled. Six ate the banana and licked his lips clean before giving her a kiss on the cheek.

Holiday sighed dreamily as she watched the object of her affections interact with his daughter. It was all so sweet. That little girl really brought out the best in Six…

Holiday raised an eyebrow as Rex did the same with his desert.

Six smirked and surprised everyone by eating Rex's banana. Rex blushed. Spirit looked up at the two men. Both had slightly red faces. She frowned, wondering if they were getting sick…

"What's wrong mija?" Rex asked.

"Your face is all red. Are you and daddy sick?" Spirit signed.

"Ahh…"

Six cut in, "Don't worry we're fine."

Spirit gave him a suspicious look but shrugged it off since his face wasn't as red now. Rex pressed his forehead against hers.

"See? We're fine mija."

That made Spirit happy. She thought that Rex and daddy were hiding something from her… She gave Rex a big hug.

Six gave Rex a grateful smile. The younger man blushed and looked away.

The pieces fell into place for Holiday and her eyes went wide as everything clicked…

'They're flirting… Is that why Six never accepted my advances? He's gay? Why didn't he just tell me?'

Her expression soured and she slammed the door as she left. Everyone jumped.

"What do you reckon that was all about?" Callan asked.

"I don't know. Maybe she doesn't like bananas?" Cesar suggested.

"I think it's a little more than that…"

He shrugged, "I don't know women."

"Not like I'm an expert either…" Callan said as he slung an arm around the back of Cesar's chair.

Rex observed this with a raised eyebrow, 'Well the explains why his lab is sometimes locked…'

He looked to Six as the older man finally got the chance to enjoy his own desert. Rex watched as he took a bite and sighed. Rex imagined him closing his eyes in bliss. Not that he could tell with these dark emerald sunglasses of his... Watching Six sent chills down his spine…

Spirit stared up at the two most important people in her life, happy that they were enjoying their bananas so much.

"Mija. Tonight's a clear night. How about we break out the telescope and I introduce you to some astronomy?" Cesar asked.

Spirit tilted her head to the side.

"Astronomy is the study of the universe. All the stars, moons, planets, galaxies…"

Spirit smiled and nodded, it definitely sounded like something she wanted to learn about!

Rex grinned, "Cool. I'm going to head over to Noah's and play some video games."

Six sighed as Callan, Cesar, and Spirit went to the elder Salazar brother's lab. He saw a couple of rather familiar gestures between the two men. Six raised an eyebrow to that and went to go see Doc Holiday about her earlier outburst.

A microscope went hurtling towards his head. He barely dodged as the angry doctor glared down her nose at him.

"What was that about?" Six asked rather calmly.

"You're gay. You're gay and you never told me!"

Her words hit him like a ton of bricks. He pinched the bridge of his nose with a sigh, 'Well that would a explain a few things…'

"How could you never tell me?" Holiday demanded.

"I didn't know."

"How can you not know?"

Six sighed, "I just didn't, alright?"

"No! It's not alright! I like you. I've liked you ever since I found out you weren't a heartless moron like those other mercenaries! I damn near fell in love with you when you brought Rex home and began to act like the father he needed. Now you're flirting with him! He's almost half your age!"

"I was not flirting!" Six snapped, finally losing his temper.

"You were so!"

"In what way was I flirting?"

"You ate his ice cream offering. You smiled! Since when do you even smile?"

Six was quiet for a second, "Did you ever stop to think that this might be a good thing?"

"No! It's a terrible thing! What do you think is going to happen when you're an old man who can't please him anymore? Or what would happen to him if you suddenly wanted someone closer to your age like Callan or Cesar?"

Six remained quiet; a thoughtful and rather concerned look crossed his face.

'What would happen?'

He sighed, "Regardless of what would or would not happen you crossed a line. This is between Rex and myself. Not you."

Holiday sighed, "That's it Six. Close me out just like you do everyone else who gets too close. Everyone except your teenaged love interest and that damn girl!"

Six frowned at that. Holiday's eyes widened and she covered her mouth in shock at what she had just said. Six quickly left before he could say or do something that he might regret.

Six lay on his bed and stared up at the ceiling, wondering just when his life became like one of those God-awful soap operas Rex loved so much…

Holiday let out an aggravated sigh and sat down. She went through the mind-numbing task of filling out supply requisitions to try to get her mind off of things… The most expensive item on the list was the microscope she flung at Six.

Holiday winced at her irrational action… It certainly wasn't one of her finest moments…

Rex returned later that night. He stopped off at Taco Noche where he met up with Bobo. The two had a good old-fashioned pig out before going home. Needless to say Rex was very fortunate that his job kept him running around like a lunatic or his midnight cravings might actually start to add to his waistline.

Bobo went to bed. He had eaten fifteen bean burritos! Rex was in no hurry to get to bed…

He checked on Spirit mostly because it was something to do… He found her snuggled up to that green stuffed bunny. "Six Bunny" was what she named it. This time she also had a red teddy bear in her arms. Rex vaguely wondered where she got that and whom she named it after…

He heard a real bluesy tune coming from Six's room. Rex knocked.

"Come in."

Rex entered and found Six still sitting at his piano. He sat down next to him on the piano bench and began to play chopsticks, which was the only thing he knew. Six gave him an amused smirk and brushed his hand away so he could continue playing.

"Something's wrong," Rex stated.

The older man raised an eyebrow and wondered how it was that Rex came to read him so well.

"Is it really that obvious?"

"Kinda. You're easier to read these days."

Six frowned.

Rex panicked a bit, "D-Don't worry. You still have that man of mystery thing going on!"

The older man mentally rolled his eyes. An awkward silence ensued.

"So you going to tell me why you're playing the blues and Holiday is pacing in her lab?"

"No."

"Does it have to do with the fact that she has the hots for you?"

"You knew?" The older man exclaimed, hitting a sour note.

"Rex fidgeted, "Well… Actually… I'm pretty sure all of Providence knew…"

Six sighed and stopped playing. He pinched the bridge of his nose, "I'm so dense."

Rex smiled, "No you're intricate, so much that you get lost in yourself."

Six chuckled bitterly.

"You aren't into her… Are you?" Rex asked hopefully.

"No. I didn't really pick up on her interest in me because I only see her as a friend."

"Looks like you could use some time to figure things out… I could take Spirit after her lessons tomorrow. We'll hang out and get some ice cream. I'll see how her math is going. What do you say?"

Six sighed and ran his hand through his hair, making it disheveled and sexy. "I think it's about time that I actually think instead of trying to put things out of my mind. Thanks."

"Nah. Don't worry about it."

Six smirked, "You're a good man Rex."

Rex blushed, "Thanks."

There was an awkward silence before Rex stood, "I'll leave you to your thoughts. Try not to get too loud, you don't want to wake Spirit."

Six nodded, "Night."

"Night."
