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:
Six sighed as he watched Rex get ready for his first ever date with a woman. The teen wasn't using the suit he got him. The agent felt immensely relieved for some reason… That suit was special. It was worn during their first date…
No. Rex was wearing his usual clothing. He was just obsessing over his hair because it kept sticking up in the back…
"Relax. You look fine," the agent said with a sad smirk.
'Better than fine…'
Rex snorted, "How would you know?"
"I'm gay?"
The teen gave him an incredulous look then burst out laughing at how serious Six's face was. The agent raised an eyebrow in amusement. Ever since Rex came home from Hong Kong he had been sticking to him like glue. Though this time instead of loves they were friends… It was… Painful. But if this was what Rex wanted, Six would comply just to keep the teen in his life…
"So where are you taking her?" Six asked.
"We're going to a movie with Noah and the others," Rex said, straightening his jacket.
Six sighed, 'So it's a group date…'
He wasn't so sure how he felt about that… While he was certainly relieved that Rex wouldn't be alone with Yuki he couldn't help but feel pissed off that Noah would be there. Noah was the only thing keeping them apart…
"What movie?"
"Some chick flick," Rex said with a shrug.
"Similar to those God awful Spanish soap operas you like?"
"Hey! Those are classic!"
"No… Casablanca is a classic. The Count of Monte Cristo is a classic…"
Rex grinned, "You really are old school aren't you?"
Six raised an eyebrow.
The teen went quiet for a bit…
"Six…"
"Hm?"
"Thanks… You know… For being my friend… It can't be easy…"
"If life were easy it wouldn't be as half as rewarding."
Rex smiled and got ready to leave though he really didn't want to…
Six sighed and closed his eyes, looking away. He couldn't bear to see him go. Rex looked back at Six with a sigh before he leaped from the platform and brought his boogie pack out. They were meeting up at Noah's place then taking off in Claire and Annie's cars.
Six went about making a cup of tea, praying that today would be incident free so he could catch up on a rather unfortunate overflow of paperwork. It was difficult for him to concentrate on for more than an hour with all that was going on. The agent's heart was broken and his mind was in a constant state of chaos.
Rex was in denial and his nanites were failing him here and there on the battlefield, leaving Six to pick up the slack. This often led him to get injured, which only served to make Rex feel worse about whatever it was that ran through his mind. Six didn't even have to guess… It was pretty obvious that Rex was tearing himself apart over his pathetic attempt at being straight.
Spirit had gone from a vivacious and curious little girl to a mere shell of herself. She studied and practiced to the point of exhaustion. Spirit, and one point, had been gaining weight and growing healthier. Stronger. Now she was almost as slender and deathly pale as she had been when Six first found her at the facility.
She cried so much at night, using her muteness to her advantage so she wouldn't disturb him. Not that Six was sleeping much to begin with… Six shook his head and pushed aside such thoughts. He had a mountain of paperwork to get through. The agent sighed and got started.
A couple of hours later and Six was sound asleep at his desk, dreaming up scenarios that may have led Rex to change into his mecha form. In each one he was the villain. Six was the one who ripped out Rex's heart and stomped on it. He was the one who promised Rex love then snatched it away, leaving him broken hearted.
Six jerked awake and looked around the room eyes bleary from unshed tears. He sighed. The dreams were hardly rational but nothing seemed rational anymore. Nothing made sense anymore. Six shook his head violently and admonished himself.
'I have a friend in distress and an ill daughter. There isn't much that can be done about Rex for now but I've been a terrible father…'
He got up and made his way to the library. Six picked Spirit up. The little girl clung to the book she was reading and brought it along.
The agent lay her down gently in her bed.
"You are going to sleep," Six said firmly.
Spirit clung to her book even tighter and looked as though she was about to cry.
"Baby, please. I'm so worried about you. Read in here from now on. Read until you feel sleepy and take a nap then read some more if you like. But please get some sleep," the agent pleaded.
Spirit whimpered silently then nodded, a couple of tears ran down her cheeks. Six kissed the top of her head.
"You're also going to eat something. I'll be right back."
The little girl nodded, though she was less than thrilled about the idea of eating. She was so upset these days that eating made her stomach hurt…
Spirit sighed and looked around her room. There was a stained glass dragonfly lamp between her dresser and wardrobe. Daddy put a stained glass butterfly lamp on her desk. She had a trunk at the end of her bed for her art, music, and ballet supplies. There were journals on her desk for drawing and writing and an easel in the corner at the window. Her bedding was white with lavender and violet flowers. Her curtains were violet with white butterflies. Her bookshelves were filled with books. Her stuffed animals were in a pink hammock. But the best part was the wall behind her bed. It was violet with a brown branch that held green leaves and pink cherry blossoms. There were blue, lavender and white butterflies too.
The little girl bit her lip, feeling guilty, 'Daddy put so much work into my room and I barely use it.'
She sniffled and started to tear up, 'I am a bad girl…'
Spirit was trying so hard to be good! First daddy left for a month because she got scared of him. Daddy didn't like it when she saved the big bad man's life. Then papa went all big and scary and forgot them! Spirit didn't like being abandoned! She didn't like being forgotten! It was her fault that all this happened! She was a bad girl.
Spirit began to study and practice really hard. She tried to take care of herself more. She knew that her daddies were sad and she didn't want to make it worse by being bad or needy. Spirit sighed and tried to blink back her tears. It seemed as though her efforts were all for not. Daddy was scared for her and papa was leaving them. Her family was falling apart and it was all her fault!
Her lip quivered as she broke down crying. She hugged her stuffed bear, Sergeant Flufflebutt, to her chest and sobbed into his silken fake fur.
Six sighed. He had wanted to give Spirit something healthy but settled on forcing her to eat her favorite food, ice cream. The agent slipped into her room and saw her crying on the bed.
He frowned, 'Dammit! Not again…'
"Come on baby. We're going to eat ice cream together," Six said.
Spirit didn't even bother to look up as she shook her head.
Six sighed and sat in bed with her, "I'm not giving you a choice here. You're too thin and you're getting sick again."
He set the bowl of ice cream down on the end table and picked her up. Six forced her into a seated position on his lap and picked up the spoon. Spirit pursed her lips, refusing to eat.
"Baby please… Don't make me worry about you too," Six pleaded.
Spirit whimpered a bit and opened her mouth. Six force-fed her a couple of times before letting her take over. He sat with her. His heart broke as he watched her cry while she ate her favorite treat.
It wasn't until Spirit finished the half melted ice cream that Six placed the bowl back on the end table and gave her a hug. Spirit sobbed on his shoulder and clung to him as though he was going to disappear again…
Six shifted a bit so he could lay her down for a nap. Spirit clung to him even tighter and shook her head.
"You need to get some sleep," the agent pointed out with a frown.
Spirit only tightened her grip. She stared up at him with pleading tear filled eyes.
He sighed, "I'll stay. I promise."
Six sank into bed with his arms around his baby girl. Spirit clung to him as though he were her favorite teddy bear and reluctantly closed her eyes. Her father stared up at the ceiling with a frown and allowed his eyes to drift close too…
The agent frowned in his sleep…
All he seemed to have these days were nightmares. He didn't know if he should be thankful that his nightmares were related to Rex rather than the memories of the man he once was. Instead of waking up in a cold sweat from a dream where he nearly killed IV for trying to rape a little girl he woke up to the image of a mecha Rex accidentally crushing Spirit under foot instead.
He gently pried his baby girl's hand from his tie and situated her in the bed. Six tucked her in and gave her a kiss on the temple before writing a note. He left it on the end table. Six had gotten into the habit of leaving notes for this baby girl. If he didn't she would wake up in a panic and think that he left again.
The agent kicked himself mentally, 'Why did I do that in the first place? I should've taken them with me!'
Six sighed. He knew that there was no way he could've done that. Providence needed Rex. Providence also needed Spirit. Ever since White started to force her to go along on missions and heal the number of "red shirts" lost had dropped significantly. Six still didn't like the idea of Spirit being present on missions though…
Johnson was the one who typically watched over her. It was both a curse and a blessing. Johnson was one of the best soldiers in Providence. Six considered writing up a recommendation to make him an agent. That way he could train him with Rex since agent training required a higher level of hand-to-hand combat expertise as well as marksmanship. Marksmanship was really Callan's area though… Six couldn't remember the last time he held a gun let alone fired one.
Guns were loud, messy, and quite frankly, a little too easy to trace. That's why he relied on his old katana back in his mercenary days. None of "the Six" used guns. One used a katana. Dos had that fancy cane of his. Trey was little more than a dumb animal that relied on brute strength. IV used his mummy wrappings. No one could ever figure out how he did that… Five used her guitar and psychotic rage.
Six smirked, 'I wonder how she'd react if she found out that her former lover was gay…'
Five had always fancied a reunion so to speak. It was something that Six had no interest in even when he was laboring under the delusion that he was straight. Five had been perfectly fine with IV's lust for violent sex. She didn't even bat an eye when the mummified monster started to rip the clothes off of a screaming and crying little girl. A little girl who was even younger than Spirit…
Six closed his eyes and shuddered.
He could never be with someone like that…
The agent wondered the halls, lost in thought. He looked to his room and debated as to whether or not he should return to the paperwork that White was on his back about. He fleetingly wondered what led Rex to shift into his mecha form and forget everyone. Six looked towards his room then looked the direction of Holiday's lab. He frowned and headed to her lab, determined to get some answers.
Holiday was staring at Conrí's ass… Six gave the younger man a quick look over and shivered. He looked too much like him… God was it creepy…
The deadly ninja nanny coughed to get her attention, "Do you have any idea what may have led Rex to change?"
"Hello to you too," the doctor said sarcastically.
"Sarah…" Six uttered in a warning tone.
Holiday fidgeted, looking rather sheepish, "It may have been my fault…"
Six frowned, shooting her a glare, "Mind explaining?"
"She can do you one better. We've got a video feed. White's been keeping a strict eye on me ever since I escaped for a little late night fun," Conrí said with a smarmy smirk.
Holiday sent a heated glare his way. The hacker responded with a cheeky grin as he brought up the video in question and fast-forwarded. Six noted that the video was six weeks old.
'He cracked in only two weeks? Do… Did I really mean that much to him?'
"Here's the part you're looking for," Conrí said, with an almost somber tone to his voice.
Six turned his attention to the big screen in front of them with a frown…
Rex was pacing as he frantically spoke to Holiday.
"I don't know what to do! I don't think I can do this on my own! I mean Spirit has never been any trouble but she still needs a mother!" The Latino exclaimed.
Rex blushed, looking mortified…
Holiday did her best to hide the smirk that was spreading across her face.
"C-Can we please just forget I just said that?"
"Of course. But you can't count us out. Spirit has her aunt and her uncles. If Six never comes back we'll help you raise her…"
Rex grabbed her by the shoulders, "N-Never comes back? Have you spoken to him? Did I do something wrong? Does he hate me? Why won't he come home?"
Holiday gasped as she looked into his eyes… They weren't human anymore. They were glowing a bright electric blue.
The Latino shoved her roughly away. Holiday grunted as fell backwards into one of the massive computers. She looked up at the teen in horror.
Rex stared down at his hands with a fearful look on his face, "W-What's happening?"
The electric blue in his eyes flooded his skin as circuits began to spread throughout his body. Rex screamed in agony as his body sprouted both dark and light steel and an odd neon blue disk appeared on his chest. His hair turned into a flickering blue flame and his glowing eyes became cold like ice.
Six closed his eyes and looked away. Conrí took it as a sign that he should stop the video. The agent nodded his thanks to the hacker before turning on his heel and leaving the lab. He went to his room and locked the door before sinking to the floor. Six felt sick to his stomach. His chest hurt. His heart was racing. He vaguely wondered if this was what having a heart attack felt like…
He leaned against his head the door and closed his eyes. Six took a deep, calming breath and managed to settle down. He looked to the pile of paperwork on his desk…
Six sighed and got up. He went straight to work. White would become suspicious if things were a little too off between Providence's "weapon" and its top agent. Six was almost never late with his paperwork. He was certainly never this late with his paperwork that was for sure…
The last thing Six wanted was to have problems with White on top of the ones he currently had regarding Rex and Spirit.
'Ten more years and I can stop doing this shit. I'll own a vineyard with Rex in Southern France. We'll be happily married and we can raise our children there in peace,' the agent took a deep breath and sighed.
It all sounded so beautiful… A hundred or so acres for his grapes, a garden full of fresh herbs and beautiful flowers, a gazebo in the garden…
Six growled and shook his head, 'Focus on getting Rex back first then plan your future with him.'
He turned his attention back to the large stack of paperwork with renewed determination.
'Thirty is a bit old to be acting like a hormonal school girl…'
Meanwhile…
Rex was struggling to stay awake during the movie. It was terrible! He looked to Noah who was equally as bored. Annie and Claire were smiling gleefully as they stared at the screen with looks of adoration. Kenwyn looked bored though there was a small smile on her lips. Rex glanced over at Yuki who looked as though she were being tortured. He laughed quietly.
'She's the ideal girl from what I can tell… Strong, brave, interesting, intelligent, fun, cultured, a little shy and quiet…'
Rex frowned… Something didn't seem quite right about her… Noah was happy with her at the very least. His friend was practically beside himself with joy when he first met Yuki and watched her shyly flirt with Rex. Rex of course flirted back because it was expected of him. It felt wrong, spending time with a beautiful and perfectly lovely girl just because it was expected of him.
Rex sighed, 'Finally!'
The movie was over. Annie and Claire were gushing over how beautiful the ending was.
Kenwyn smiled fondly at her girlfriend, 'Well at least she enjoyed herself…'
She took Annie's hand in hers and kissed it. The blond blushed and kissed her cheek. They linked arms and snuggled together as they made their way to the arcade. Claire looked to Noah expectantly and he dipped his head down and kissed her on the ear with a smirk. Oh yeah. He knew just how to work her. Claire was super sensitive around her ears and neck.
Noah slung an arm around her shoulders and swaggered with the confidence of a man who mistakenly thought he was going to get laid tonight. Yuki and Rex looked to each other and rolled their eyes.
"Well that was unbearable," Yuki commented.
"Noah's idea," Rex whispered, "To get into Claire's pants."
"Too bad for her that he's eye-humping every other girl that walks by…"
Rex sighed, "Yeah. So far he looks but doesn't touch. I don't think he's man enough to try to cheat. Claire's dad is a navy seal."
Yuki smirked, "Ouch. Yeah. No cheating on a girl with a dad like that unless you no longer want to be a man."
Rex laughed.
"What about your parents?"
The Latino sighed, "My parents died in the event. Rafael and Violeta Salazar… They were scientists. They worked on the nanite project. So did mi hermano, Cesar. He survived. He's at Providence with me."
"Oh… Sorry to hear that…"
"I don't even remember them… What about you?"
"I have an older sister, Yuri. She's my identical twin. She was always the favorite. She was the perfect one who always did everything right, had all the friends, and dated only the hottest guys… My parents threw me out when I became an EVO. I haven't seen them in over a year," Yuki said with a frown.
Rex eyed her warily… She looked far more angry than sad. He supposed that he would too if his parents had thrown him out or greatly favored his brother. It must have been hard being a twin and seeing your parents praise someone who looked exactly like you…
Rex fidgeted, "Do you like DDR?"
"Love it," Yuki said, sighing in relief at the change of subject.
They hopped onto the machine and selected a random song. Rex pretty much let his mind go on autopilot. He remembered reading in his diary that he got Six and the others to play DDR with him. Six finished with a back flip. There was much kissing and frivolity that night…
The Latino tried to suppress the smile the crept along his face. Yuki glanced over at him with a raised eyebrow.
Elsewhere, Kenwyn was teaching Annie how to shoot via some old cops and robbers game. It was nothing compared to shooting an actual target like the ones she did in practice but it was still fun. Claire was at the shoot 'em up game next to them. It was a western. She was damn good. Noah looked mildly intimidated…
Kenwyn and Annie stared at her in shock…
"What? My dad is a navy seal. I've been shooting cans off our fence with blanks for years."
"I'd love to meet Captain Bowman sometime," Kenwyn said.
"I'm sure my dad would love to meet you too. He has a lot of respect for Providence and its soldiers," Claire sad with a smile.
Annie grinned, "Yay! We can make a day of it! It's been a while since I visited mom and dad at work…"
"Huh? Your parents were there?" Noah asked.
"Yeah. My dad is a "red shirt" and my mom is a surgeon. They're Lieutenant Nick and Dr. Alice Monroe," Annie said.
"Do you guys have family who work there?"
"I don't. My father is a captain in the navy and my mom is a botanist," Claire said with a frown.
After all… She had mentioned this a couple of times before…
"My dad is Captain Amon Jones, an army medic. My mom, Sylvia, is a history professor at Carnegie Mellon University. I have two older brothers who are grunts at Providence too, Xavier and Lance," Kenwyn said.
"What about you?" Yuki asked as she and Rex rejoined the group.
Noah shrugged, "My mom is a homemaker and my dad is a republican senator."
Kenwyn rolled her eyes, 'Explains his attitude towards women and his self-important pompousness. No wonder he's a homophobe…'
"What about you?" Rex asked.
"Well my twin sister, Yuri, is a model and cellist, my mom is your typical Japanese housewife, and my dad owns the top restaurant in all of Japan, Hamadaya," Yuki said sulkily.
"And Rex's parents were scientists who died working on nanites. He has a crazy older brother who's a Providence scientist. Now that that's all out of the way lets go eat. I'm starving," Noah said grumpily.
Rex winced and frowned.
Yuki gave him a concerned look and rubbed his back while the other three girls glared at Noah's retreating back.
"Sorry Rex… He can be a dick at times," Claire admitted.
"Why do you put up with him?" Kenwyn asked bluntly.
"You can't help who you love. I'd thought that you'd understand that better than anyone Wyny," Annie said.
Kenwyn blushed. Claire gave her best friend a grateful look.
They went to an authentic Mexican restaurant. Noah kept checking out the waitress' deliciously round rump while the girls chatted about prom. Annie and Claire were trying to convince Yuki to come with them as a guest and invite Rex. Yuki was blushing a rather pretty shade of blue…
Rex managed to get Noah's attention away from the waitress' backside and they chatted about video games.
The Latino teen couldn't take it anymore…
"What's with you? You have Claire and she's a beautiful, smart, funny girl. Why are you checking out everyone but her?" Rex whispered.
"Because Claire is the kind of girl you take home to appease your folks. She's the type of girl you marry, not the girl you get down and dirty with. Dad said I should "sew my wild oats" before I get married so when I run for office I'll be less likely to be caught with my pants around my ankles and a woman who's not my wife," Noah whispered back.
"How did that work for him?"
"He's screwing his secretary and his intern behind mom's back. Guess it's not so easy when you have a buffet of women throwing themselves at you."
"Yeah. For his money."
Noah frowned, "Yeah. Dad's a dick about that. I have to work for my money. Most senator's kids are handed money."
Rex felt sick…
'Why am I friends with him again?'
The young EVO seriously began to contemplate this… Sure, Noah had a couple of redeemable qualities… Noah was good at basketball. He was a good student.
Rex blinked, 'Crap. There has to be more than that…'
Even if there wasn't, Noah was a product of his environment. His dad was an ass so Noah was an ass. It wasn't really something that Rex could blame him for…
The food arrived and Rex was more than happy for a distraction. They spent their time getting to know each other via twenty questions.
Kenwyn liked to solve riddles.
Claire loved to hiking and gardening.
Annie liked to decorate cakes.
Yuki's favorite song before she got her powers was ironically, "Ice Flowers" by Eisblume, a German pop singer.
Noah had no interest in politics.
Rex absolutely loved being a father!
The Latino teen blushed… A couple of days after he woke from his ordeal, Rex had asked Holiday why he went into his mecha form. Conrí, being the ever so helpful, mischievous bastard that he is showed Rex the video. He couldn't believe it the Freudian slip he made!
Rex shook his head, 'Referring to Six as Spirit's mother… God, I hope he never sees that video…'
"Rex!"
'I'd be mortified if he saw that…'
"Rex!"
"Huh?" He muttered, looking to Yuki.
"I asked you if you have any hobbies," the ice EVO stated with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh! Uh… Mi hermano is teaching me how to play the guitar and Six gave me a camera a while back so I've been taking pictures here and there…"
"What's Six really like?" Claire asked.
"He seems so scary until you put that little girl of his in his arms…" Annie added.
Rex's eyes softened and he smiled, "Six is actually a really kind person. He's the sixth most dangerous man in the world. But that's just because he was trained to kill so flawlessly and sacrifice anything to protect is loved ones. When he fights, he's so graceful that it's as though his katanas are an extension of his body. His eyes… No one could ever fear a man with eyes so warm and so green. They're his greatest weakness so he hides them."
Annie, Claire, and Kenwyn shared a knowing look and arrived to the same conclusion…
Rex was still very much in love with Six.
Yuki came to that conclusion as well… She frowned, as the air grew chillier around her.
"Here are you checks," the beautiful, curvy waitress said.
"And for you," she purred at Rex, "My number…"
She ran her fingers through his hair and smirked, tilting his head up by the chin. Her dark eyes were full of desire… Rex blushed profusely and found that he had been rendered speechless. Yuki took the number from him as soon as the waitress left and ripped it up with a frown then stuffed it in what was left of Rex's drink.
Rex raised an eyebrow… Her possessiveness reminded him of the entry he wrote about his and Six's first date. Though, it was kind of hot when Six did it… When Yuki did it… It was just plan weird. They only hung out a handful of times.
Sure, they had fun… They hit up a jazz café, went to an art museum, and watched stuff off of netflix at Yuki's small one bedroom flat. Rex really wasn't all that comfortable at times… He wanted to take things slow but Yuki would sometimes try to initiate things.
They went back to Noah's house and hung out. Noah broke into his father's liquor cabinet and invited his friends to sit around the pool in his backyard. Yuki sighed as she looked at the pool in longing with just a small hint of disgust. She hated not being able to swim to her heart's content.
Rex frowned as his friends began to strip down to their undergarments. Claire was curvy. Annie was willowy. Kenwyn had a fair amount of muscle on her, which was to be expected… Noah was scrawny. He was like a tall, gangly chicken.
Rex looked to Yuki. She was still in that dress of hers. Not that he could blame her. It must be hard having powers like hers…
She gave him a sad smile, "Why don't you go ahead? I'll be fine. There's plenty of Rosé to keep me happy as I bask in the moonlight."
Rex looked to the bottle of pink-ish wine next to her, "Just a quick dip. I've been meaning to try that."
The Latino was curious about wine ever since his and Six's first date. Six wanted to have a vineyard in Southern France. A vineyard with him…
A shiver ran down his spine as he pictured making love to Six in the middle of a grape field at dawn. Rex shook his head violently and cleared his mind as he stripped down. The last thing he needed was a hard on…
"Cannon ball!" Rex cried out as he jumped into the water.
Claire and Annie squealed and giggled. Kenwyn laughed and dunked Rex back under the water. Noah looked at his friend then looked down at himself with a sigh. Sure the blond had some muscle but it was nothing compared to Rex… He had seen Six train before too. He was ripped for an old dude…
'So not fair…'
Annie gasped, "Oh my God Rex! Where did you get that scar?"
Rex looked down at his chest and blushed, "Six and I fought against a real Chimera and we got seriously injured. He almost lost his hands trying to save me. Spirit almost lost her life healing both of us. I guess she got to Six first because his hands are fine. I'm fine too. I just have a little scar…"
Claire all but melted, "Aw… She sounds so sweet! I'd love to meet her one day!"
Rex grinned like a proud father.
Kenwyn bit her lip before speaking, "Six must really care for you…"
The Latino's face turned cherry red, "I-I guess so… He's pretty epic."
Yuki sent a glare towards Kenwyn that went unnoticed. Noah looked physically ill…
"Lets play chicken!" Noah called out.
He had never been so thankful for Annie's ADHD in his life… The blond girl's eyes lit up as she made her way towards Kenwyn. Claire wisely chose Rex, leaving Noah to referee…
Yuki sipped her Rosé and watched Rex enjoy himself. More importantly she watched his muscles ripple under his lovely dark skin… The ice EVO bit her lip and sighed lustfully.
'If only he wasn't such a prude…'
Claire and Rex won two out of three due to Annie's clumsiness and Kenwyn's constant blushing…
"Woo! King of the pool!" Rex cried out.
Noah frowned and got out of the water. He made his way to the Tiki bar where Yuki was nursing her Rosé. He busted out some vodka.
"Why aren't you in the pool with the others?" Noah asked.
"My powers would make the water turn to ice…" Yuki deadpanned.
The blond frowned, "That sucks. I was going to say… If you were shy you could've borrowed one of my mother's sarongs."
"Thanks. But I have nothing to be shy about," Yuki said.
"You got that right," Noah stated, raking his eyes over her lean figure.
The ice EVO gave him a reproachful look, "Listen blondie, everything you see here belongs to Rex."
Noah smirked, "We'll just see about that…"
Rex joined them at the bar. He poured himself a glass of Rosé and savored the sweet fruity taste. This one tasted mostly like grapefruit with a hint of some kind of berry. The teen smiled and sighed as he sagged into a lounge chair.
Claire and Annie got out some pink champagne. Kenwyn refused to drink anything but water…
Annie grinned and sipped some champagne then straddled her girlfriend's lap and kissed her, forcing her to drink some. Kenwyn was cherry red by the time she finally gave in and had a glass.
Claire laughed, "Aw… You guys are so cute together!"
Noah looked dazed and aroused with his flushed cheeks and dilated pupils. Yuki turned to Rex expectantly only to find that he was staring off into space with a blush on his face.
'Don't tell me he's into one of them too,' the ice EVO thought peevishly.
Rex shook his head violently, trying to rid himself of the mental image of licking Rosé off of Six's chest and abs.
'Dammit! This really isn't working…'
Claire, Annie and Kenwyn lay out on grass with glasses in hand. They stared up at the starlit night sky. Noah sat on one of the cushy loungers and watched the girls from there.
"Mr. Posh has some taste… Expensive. Typical for a future politician…" Yuki commented.
"Noah? Nah. He hates politics. He doesn't know what he wants to do yet but Noah wants to distance himself from his family as much as possible," Rex said.
"While using their money…"
The Latino teen snorted, "If his father ever lets him near it."
"What about you?"
"I prefer to make my own money."
"Same here."
"Hey guys? Its getting late and dad will murder Noah if we're not home by ten," Claire said as she and the girls put their clothes back on.
"Lets have a sleep over!" Annie declared.
"Girls only of course…" Kenwyn said.
"Want to come, Yuki?"
"You guys go ahead. I have work in the morning."
"Where do you work?" Rex asked.
"I have a paid apprenticeship at Sugar Pop Fairy, the bakery I live over," Yuki said with a blush.
"The one where you dress like fairies?" Rex asked with a grin, "Are the sweets any good? I'd love to take Spirit."
"I have to do extra yoga so I don't gain weight…" Yuki admitted with a grin.
Rex laughed, "Sounds great! She'll love it!"
"I should really get going. I have to make it an early night and I'm going to be hung over in the morning."
"I'll fly you home," Rex offered.
Yuki smiled, "Probably not the best idea to teleport drunk. Thanks."
Noah grinned and whispered to Rex, "I want every little detail."
Rex rolled his eyes, as he got dressed… Noah thought he was taking her home to get in her pants… Typical.
He picked Yuki up and brought out his boogie pack. Rex took to the air with the ice princess securely in his arms. She made herself at home, wrapping her arms around his shoulders while she seductively kissed his neck. Rex shivered….
It just didn't feel right… The teen did his best to ignore it for now. It wasn't long until they landed. Sugar Pop Fairy was on the outskirts of town, closer to the suburbs than the city. Rex landed right outside the bakery.
"Would you like to come upstairs and sample my cake?" Yuki purred.
Rex blushed profusely and nearly dropped her in surprise, "Uh… L-Lets wait for that. I want to take things slow."
Yuki pouted and sighed, "Fair enough."
She kissed him passionately. Rex tentatively kissed back…
"Thanks for taking me home."
"No problem."
Yuki frowned and went inside.
Rex sighed in relief and took off, 'For second there I thought she'd try to invite me in again…'
The Latino teen took off for home. Providence was all the way on the other side of town but it was a nice night complete with a clear view of the stars and moon. One good thing about Providence is that there wasn't a whole lot of light pollution in the canyon.
Rex landed outside and took a quick look around before entering. He stopped by Spirit's room and found that she wasn't there. Rex poked his head into Six's room… A soft smile lit up his face.
There was Spirit, curled up next to Six in the agent's bed. There was a book and a stuffed bear in her arms and her glasses were slightly askew on face. Six had his face buried in her curls.
Rex chuckled softly and removed Spirit's glasses and book, giving her a kiss on the cheek. He looked to Six and hesitated before carefully removing the ninja agent's sunglasses. Rex bit his lip and nervously shifted his weight from one foot to the other before kissing Six on the forehead.
The agent let out a contented sigh in his sleep… Rex felt his heart ache as he turned and left.
'One more date. Maybe something that's not a group thing where I don't feel like I'm being watched… If I still feel nothing I'll let her know.'
Rex sighed. Noah was his only male friend… Noah stuck with him though the good times and the bad according to his diary. It was kind of understandable that Rex was reluctant to give that up… Sure, Noah wasn't the best person in the world, but who was?
Noah's mother was a sweet homemaker who somehow doubled as a trophy wife… It was obvious that she had had some work done. Particularly with her breasts… Senator Nixon was a pompous ass that threw his money and power around to get whatever he wanted. Its no wonder Noah turned out so messed up!
Rex took a quick shower and lay back on his bed. He stared up at the ceiling and remembered the diary entry that said Six that had removed his goggles and kissed his forehead… Rex wondered if that had felt right…
'It must have… I dated him and we moved in together. We were rising our daughter together. It sounds like such a beautiful life… One more try with Yuki. If it doesn't work then I'll have to tell Noah goodbye and pray that Six and Spirit forgive me…'
Rex finally gave succumbed to his exhaustion and closed his eyes. A tear ran down his cheek…
'Love is pain in its most beautiful form…'
Ugh! Its getting harder and harder to write this thing! I miss Six/Rex being all cute and couply! DAMN YOU NOAH! Once again, I'm STILL re-editing the hell out of this thing…XD So here is a look at Six and Spirit's mental anguish with a bit of Rex's logic thrown in.
I'm debating a third chapter for "Baby Spirit"… I was thinking one where Spirit is learning how to walk or maybe one where she's two and likes clinging to be people… I haven't decided yet.
I read all the reviews but I find fics that have "thank you" notes at the beginning annoying so I would like to do a group thank you to all my readers. So, thank you.
Also, I used a suggestion from a reader in Chapter 17 and one from another reader in Chapter 18. So I'm very open to suggestions.
