Note: This one-shot... doesn't have a particular timeline or anything like that. I will say that Noire, Blanc and Vert (As well as Histoire) are dressed in their Ultra Dimension/Victory/Re;Birth 3 outfits. Obviously, the three characters from Mega Man Neo, Rokku, Mega Man and Shade, make appearances. Also obvious is that I do not own Neptunia or Mega Man. They belong to their respective companies.

Enjoy~!

Rokku Akihiro looked awfully glum on a beautiful Planeptune morning. While this look of depression was plastered over his face, he still managed to play video games on the appropriately named Neptune video game console; Albeit with little spirit put into his actions in the game. He wore nothing but his black shirt, his dark blue shorts, his white socks and the pink Planeptune house-shoes.

"Hey Rokkuman~!" Neptune greeted cheerfully, wearing her jersey dress. She completely expected a response from the boy, but she received nothing. Curious, she took a look at his depressed face and realized that he just wasn't up for a cheerful greeting today...

"Oh geez-louise, that's the look you have when your best ally suffers from permadeath." Neptune quipped. "What's the matter kiddo? You home sick?"

Rokku slowly looked at the Planeptune Goddess and sighed. "No... Well, yes, but that's not why I'm... sad."

Rokku paused the game (not realizing that the boss character was going to kill him the second he unpauses the game) and leaned his cheek on his fist.

"It's just... Well... Nep, do you...like me...?" Rokku asked.

Neptune sat there and blinked a couple of times. Then she broke into a laugh, surprising the teenager.

"Ahahahahaha~! How expected from an OC like yourself~!" Neptune giggled.

Rokku had an invisible question mark hovering above his head.

"I get it! You're an OC so that means you're completely smitten with young sexy me~" Neptune continued on, cupping her cheeks with her hands. She had this adorably cute smile and pink blush all over her cheeks as she swayed her head side to side. "This is why this fan-fiction was written, to express your hidden love for the main protagonist of my game series~ Fan-fiction IS the only way dreamboys like yourself can get so close to Goddesses such as me~ (Well aside from Producing Perfection but that's a whole different story~!)"

Rokku had more invisible question marks hovering above his head.

"Well, I think you're pretty cool Rocky, so yeah I do like you~" Neptune confessed. "Of all OCs I've ever met across the multiple different timelines and universes, I think you're one of the best~ After all, you aren't crazy powerful and you aren't trying to start a sexy harem or anything like that. You know what you are? You're that handsome kid hero from one of those mecha animes, Rocky~"

"Now here comes the confession you've been waiting patiently for~! Rokku Akihiro, I, Neptune, main protagonist extraordinaire, am madly in lov-"

"Umm, Nep..." Rokku mumbled, greatly confused on her little tangent. A large drop of sweat slid down his cheek. "I just asked if you liked me... Like, you know, as a friend or close partner or something..."

Neptune's eyes widened while her hands were still cupped underneath her chin. The blush disappeared and she had quite the shock when she realized that Rokku didn't mean what she thought.

"Ohhhhhhhhhh. You meant as buddy-buds, right?" Neptune chuckled nervously. "Ehehe, yeah, of course we are Rocky~! Why wouldn't we be, especially when you're a hero in your home world and stuff~?"

Poor Rokku was completely incapable of understanding Neptune (and others to an extent) weird sense of humor; specifically regarding meta-humor. She and others would talk about topics such as "fan-service", "releasing this game", "fan-fiction", "OCs" and all that jazz.

"W-Well..." Rokku scratched his cheek. "I-I'm glad you think I'm cool, Nep."

The boy sighed again. "It's just that... Lady Vert and Lady-"

"Hey, Mega-McMuffin, drop the 'Lady' will ya?" Neptune interrupted. "Characters like us don't need crazy long names you know?"

"Erm, okay..." Rokku sweatdropped again. "Anyway, I know Vert likes me, apparently because I'm fun to play with online... Even though I'm not good at first-person shooters in the slightest nor am I that interested in MMPs... I mean, MMOs. Blanc likes me because I actually like to read books instead of just saying I do..."

"I guess Rom and Ram look up to me because when I'm Mega Man Neo, I look like some real big hero to them..." Rokku also added.

"Duh~ When you're Neo Man, you like a one of those Superheroes done Japanese style~! Y'know, those guys and gals with the skin-tight suits and stuff?" Neptune said, giggling more.

"I...guess...?" Rokku never thought about it, but he actually kind of did look like a Super Sentai Warrior. It was strange to think about honestly. "But anyway, Uni kinda likes me since we talk about guns. I personally am more fans of arm cannons. Obvious obsession, yes, but whateves... Nepgear likes me and we have a lot of common."

"Yeah, you're both techies~" Neptune quipped. She wasn't wrong though. In terms of tech, Nepgear was more superior than Rokku. But when Mega and Rokku's minds combine, they turn out to be more superior than Gearsy. After all, these two do come from a world where technology is so advanced that another species heavily similar to humans, the Reploids, exist and do everyday human activities.

"So you seem to get along with everyone like super glue, so what's the big problem, Rokku?" Neptune asked.

Rokku's frown grew unusually large; like it was inhuman, but it expressed how sad he was excellently no less.

"Noire doesn't like me..." Rokku whimpered.

Neptune frowned too, and following that was her widened eyes. "*O_O"* Awwwwwwwwwwwww man, Noire doesn't like you?"

"No... A-At least, I don't think she likes me." Rokku admitted. "The way she acts makes it seem like she's either embarrassed of me or she's looking down at me or even agitated by my mere existence."

"H-Hey now, I know your depressed and stuff, but can we not go down a dark path of no return with what you may say regarding you living?" Neptune said with a "scared" look.

Rokku didn't acknowledge Neptune's request, but he continued on. "I don't know... Maybe my efforts to impress her... Didn't exactly help my situation..."

"Impress~? Ooooooh, have you fallen head over heels over the twin-tailed tsundere~?" Neptune asked.

"I don't know what that means, but I just wanted Noire to... You know, NOT dislike me." Rokku said. "First, I tried doing some of her quests in Lastation, but fighting in Gamindustri is a little different than fighting on my world..."

"Meaning?"

"Meaning I get a little 'destructive'. I'm used to action-packed fighting with explosions and destruction and energy beams and stuff! Not fighting little goo dogs or whateves..." Rokku sweatdropped with a nervous smile. "I guess the power of Mega Man Neo is more devastating than I thought, ehehe."

"But when that failed, I tried cosplaying again, but once again she was too embarrassed about the idea." Rokku sighed, actually a little irritated that the one other person that likes cosplaying other than himself is much too embarrassed to do it with another. "Finally, and my worst idea yet, I tried... paperwork."

"Aw whaaaat? Booo! Boring!" Neptune said with her make-shift megaphone hands.

"I know! I know! I hate it too!" Rokku whined. "Paperwork suuuuuuuuuuuucks! B-But given that Noire is so hard working, I thought if I tried it out, she'd appreciate my efforts and respect me just a little. Buuuut, I totally blow at paperwork. I kinda screwed up on a few documents and blahblahblah, I'll stick to being a hero with my fists, thanks..."

Rokku sighed again. "Everything I do seems to annoy Noire."

"If you makes you feel any better Rocky, we like to call her Lonely-Heart because she has no friends!" Neptune joked.

"Wait, she has no friends?"

"Yes and no, but I won't give you a definitive answer~!"

"..." Rokku was speechless. Perhaps it was another meta-joke that he was incapable of comprehending.

"Okay, we need to lift your spirits like a large glowing spirit bomb in the sky!" Neptune said, standing on her feet. "You being so glum is about as boring as grinding for experience points! So c'mon bestie of mine! Let's cheer up!"

Rokku was forced on his feet. Suddenly, he felt his body heat up in excitement! He felt pumped up to do something great! He wanted to defeat his arch-nemesis, the depression!

"I...I got it Neptune!" Rokku cried. "I know what I need to do!"

"Yeah, yeah!?"

"I need to transform into one of my greatest personas! Based on the Darkest of Knights himself! I need to become MEGA BATM-"

Rokku abruptly froze dead in his tracks, his mouth hanging open. Neptune followed his gaze and saw his best friend/partner, Shade, holding onto his Combi-Carrier, his ability to Megamerge with Mega Man. She glared intensely at Rokku and shook her head slowly.

She didn't have to say anything. Rokku knew right away that Shade did not want him changing into his favorite cosplay persona. If he did, then she would have to follow suit and cosplay with him. She tends to not have much problems cosplaying, but when it involves an embarrassing, skin-tight suit like the Robin suit, then it's a definite NO for her.

The kunoichi walked off with Rokku's Combi-Carrier, assuring him that he wasn't megamerging anytime soon.

"Awww, bummer." Neptune whined. "I actually wanted to see you change into Mega Batman Neo."

Rokku winced and then slouched, resuming back to his depression state. He then lazily dragged his feet off the ground and left Neptune alone. She felt a little bad and felt that she should help him out some how. Given her experiences with the Lastation Goddess, Nep knew Noire wasn't what Rokku thought her to be.

It was weird yet relieving that Rokku (and Mega Man) is the only boy that the girls have gotten to know and ISN'T a bad guy in disguise. It was rare for them to meet a friendly opposite sex aside from random NPCs.

Rokku, still depressed over the possibility of Noire despising him, travels around Gamindustri on his own. The only weapon he had was the incredibly cool beam-saber that was incredibly similar to the legendary reploid, Zero's, Z-Saber. He kicked a couple of rocks as he walked in the starry night sky.

He was very unsuspecting of an angel girl dressed in a white japanese high school uniform. She had light blue holographic angel wings and a light blue halo above her head. She also had pink hair and cherry eyes. There was a name tag on her left side of her shirt that read "Eroko". She twirled a pistol-like firearm around her finger. It had a strange glowing heart on the sides of the pistol. She grinned confidently as she gripped onto the pistol properly. Then, using her holographic wings, she took to the skies.

Following closely behind the boy, she took aim; particularly at the boy's...behind. Locked and loaded, the angel took the shot.

"Oof!" Rokku collapsed on the ground. His eyes were replaced with comical swirls that were going in an endless loop and some drool escaping his mouth.

The angel slapped her forehead and got closer to her target. Much to her shame, Eroko had accidentally shot the heart-shaped projectile at the back of his head, knocking him mostly unconscious. Now that she was much closer to him, she took aim at his glutes and released the projectile. The heart-shaped projectile was stuck on his glute for a good minute before it slowly started to de-materialize and surround his body.

Giggling at a job well done, Eroko took off.

Slowly, Rokku got back on his feet with a groan. He wiped the drool off his chin and shook his head violently. He had no idea what happened but he decided to press forward.

One thing that was noticeable right off the bat was that he didn't appear to be...depressed anymore...

The ravenette named Noire yawned as she stretched her arms out. The warm morning sun gleamed through the large windows of her room. Her hair was a little bit messy and she lacked the ribbons that tied her twin-tails. In fact, her hair was just down completely. She wore simple violet pajamas.

The Lastation Goddess turned and sat on the edge of her large bed. However, when she moved her hand slightly, she felt something... unusual underneath her covers. Curious, the ravenette removed the covers from her bed, and what she found was quite shocking.

"Morning Nowaru~3" The teenage brunette boy greeted with a lovestruck expression.

Noire's eye twitched a couple of times before she could finally react to this situation.

"...KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"

Rokku was currently being examined by Mega Man, who kept turning his face to the side. Right now, Rokku looked normal.

"Hmm, he looks fine to me..." Mega said. Then he turned Rokku's face towards the properly-clothed Noire, making the girl flinch upon seeing the teen boy tilt his head to the side and sigh dreamily. Mega sweatdropped at this. "...At least, he looks fine when he isn't looking at Lady Noire..."

Shade had her arms folded and she turned to the Lastation Goddess. "Tell me again, how did this happen?"

"Like I'M supposed to know!?" Noire huffed, tossing aside one of her twin tails and folded her arms as well. "I found this weirdo in my bed acting strange!"

"This is completely out of Rokku's character." Shade said sternly. "He doesn't understand a bit about love or romance. It's as if his brain is making him act clueless when the topic is brought up. For him to act so...affectionate towards any girl is wrong on many levels..."

"Ahhhahahahahaha!" Neptune laughed, holding her stomach.

"And what are you laughing at!?" Noire demanded.

"Rocky's acting so funny, that's what I'm laughing at~!" Neptune admitted. "Usually, it'd be you and I paired up like two peas in a pod, but in this particular fan-fic, a cutie like Rokku is the one clinging to you~! Your tsundere reactions to him make it all the more hilarious for our viewers~!"

Noire growled as she began to act flustered. "Sh-Shut up! This isn't cute in the slightest! It's weird, it's freaky, and I don't want him to act like this anymore! Wait a second... What the heck did you say about you and I being paired up!?"

Shade ignored (or flat out didn't understand) the meta-humor being presented. "Enough. Mega Man, do you think you know what's wrong with Rokku?"

Mega snapped his fingers repeatedly in front of Rokku's face. All he did was blink each time Mega snapped his fingers. "I'm detecting some...odd energy signatures around Rokku's body. They are very irregular too. Whatever it is, it's infecting Rokku's brain, making him act this way."

"Whelp, that sounds like a love Angel~" Neptune said aloud, making everyone (sans Rokku) look at her.

"Love Angel?" Shade repeated. "What's that?"

"They are kinda like cupids, except they're girls!" Neptune explained. "Rocky over there probably got hit by one of her crazy strong attract attacks! It turned out to be super effective!"

"Love Angel, huh..." Mega said, standing on his two feet. "Given the world we're in, I don't find it too far fetched."

Shade nodded in agreement. "Neither do I. Therefore, I insist that we go search for this "Love Angel" and figure out how to snap Rokku out of this trance. Mega, Neptune, you're with me."

Noire's eyes widened. "Wait, then what am I doing?"

"You'll keep watch of Rokku." Shade told her.

"*O_O"* ...A-A-A-A-A-Are you NUTS!?" Noire exclaimed. "You want me to watch the same guy who's i-in l-l-love with me!? What type of plan is that?!"

"The funny type of plan, Nowa~!" Neptune answered. "We gotta keep our faithful readers engaged somehow! Bringing you along would be too easy and too boring!"

"I don't care about that! I care about my own survival!" Noire cried.

"But he's the Peanut Butter to your Jelly~! Just like us in various occasions~!"

"You're nuttier than Rokku!" Noire retorted.

"Take good care of him, Lastation Goddess." Shade demanded sternly. With that, the trio left Noire with Rokku.

Noire was left speechless when she saw the trio just leave. Then her eyes widened when she looked down at her arm.

"AHHHHH!"

Poor ol' Noire was blushing ferociously when she found the teenage boy hugging her left arm. Strangely enough, he was hugging her with his ENTIRE body and was even dangling off the ground. Noire tried shaking him off but he just wouldn't let go.

"What the hell are you doing!?" Noire screamed. "Let go of me!"

Responding with a cute little whimper, Rokku dropped on the ground and sat there with his hands on the floor and between his legs like a puppy.

"Awww, Nowaru is so mean~" Rokku "whimpered" lovingly.

The Lastation Goddess folded her arms across her chest and let out her usual tsundere huff. "L-Listen Rokku, your friends are out trying to cure you! C-Could you just g-g-give me some space for a bit?"

Noire immediately walked away from the passionate human boy. She sat on the couch and sighed heavily. "Good grief... This has to be some sick joke... Why did I have to be the victim though...!?"

Suddenly, Noire felt someone wrap their arms around her waist, pulling her into a loving bear hug. Invisible hearts hovered above his head as he tried to snuggle against his "lover".

She tried to pry him off her, succeeding only partly as he began to grab her leg. She got up and tried to walk away but had difficulty in walking due to the boy hugging her leg. She flushed heavily when she turned her head to see him looking up at her. From this angle, Rokku could be possibly looking up her skirt.

Infuriated and embarrassed, Noire wiggled Rokku off of her and ran off. "Leave me alooooooone!"

She had believed she escaped Rokku's infatuation with her for the moment. Using this time, she ultimately determined that she couldn't do this alone. She needed help and right away.

So, she went to make a video call with her sister. Once the CPU Candidate of Lastation picked up, Noire clenched the device and began to panic.

"Uni! Where are you!?" Noire demanded.

"I-I'm with Nepgear, Noire." Uni answered. "Is something wrong?"

"Yes! So many things wrong!" Noire cried. "And it has to do with Rokku! He suddenly has this creepy obsession with me and won't leave me alone!"

Nepgear poked her head in the video call to add her own information. "That sounds like the Love Angel's doing!"

Noire rolled her eyes in irritation. "Why am I suddenly the only one who has never heard of this "Love Angel"?!"

"Because it's apparently a one and done deal type of character. You know, for this fan-fic." Nepgear answered. She too was honestly a bit weirded out by the entire idea of a "love angel".

"Whatever! I need some help taming him!" Noire said. "Come over here!"

"Oh... S-Sorry sis, I'm kinda busy at the moment..." Uni said nervously.

"Doing what...?" Noire said, losing more and more of her patience with each passing second.

"Being with Nepgear, Rom and Ram... in Lowee..." Uni answered with a nervous smile. "They have this new ice cream and-"

"Ugh. Nevermind... Enjoy your ice cream, Uni..." Noire sighed as she hung up.

Next was Blanc. Funny enough, she was with Vert. Noire could kill two birds in one stone since they are together at the moment.

"Blanc! Vert! I need some help!" Noire cried.

"My, Noire needs our help?" Vert teased.

"I thought you could only do everything?" Blanc sarcastically (but plainly) said.

"Oh haha, very funny. *T_T*" Noire groaned. "Long story short, Rokku's been infected with some type of love virus! He's completely in love with me and I want him to stop being so clingy to me...!"

Blanc and Vert remained silent for a couple of seconds. This confused the Lastation CPU greatly.

"What? Why so speechless?" Noire asked. "It's the truth I tell you!"

"Oh, we believe you." Blanc said.

"Yes, very much so." Vert agreed. She then giggled. "He looks rather adorable when he's so close to you."

Noire had her mouth left hanging as she was more confused. "What are you talking about?"

Noire then took a quick glance above and saw Rokku resting his chin on top of her head. He had a very gleeful smile and more invisible hearts surrounded his head.

"G-Get off me!" Noire screamed, shaking her head violently. He got off the top of her head, but immediately after proceeded to snuggle his cheek against hers lovingly. "A-A-A-Ahh...!"

"And you want us to stop this?" Vert teased. "I find it adorable~ Given Rokku's young age, he's in for a real treat~"

"This actually looks like a neat idea for my novel." Blanc stated with a smile.

"Don't encourage this!" Noire cried comical tears of embarrassment.

"Rokku has chosen you Noire. Consider yourself lucky that he chose you out of the four Goddesses." Vert said, teasing her further. "It should help with your "lonely factor"~"

That stung Noire like a bullet. Sure, Vert was joking about it, but it still stung.

"Since Rokku is so infatuated with you, you must have some quality that he likes." Blanc said.

"It's a virus!" Noire claimed. "Ughhh! You guys are no help at all!"

Noire proceeded to hang up on them. Sighing in defeat, she clutched her head.

"Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

Noire then found that Rokku was still clinging to her with his lovestruck attitude.

Once more, Noire sighed. "What am I going to do with you...?"

Noire was forced to put up with Rokku's unusual behavior for hours. During this time, Rokku was doing his best at being a "house keeper".

Rokku proved that he was incapable of doing cleaning tasks that he's normally quite good at. The only thing Rokku managed to do right was cook food properly. Unfortunately for Noire, he merely made Chili Dogs, something that only someone like him could enjoy.

Everything else, from washing clothes to organizing documents, was a complete and utter disaster. Noire couldn't believe that in this lovestruck state he was in, he was severely worse at what he did decently enough.

However, as Rokku began washing dishes in the kitchen area, Noire was in the living room and was beginning to have a strong sense of dejavu... Well, two senses, one of them being that she recalled Neptune acting like this at one point. However, she was hypnotized, not struck by cupid.

She also realized that previously Rokku was doing a few things for Noire such as doing a few Lastation Quests and doing paperwork, all which he managed to fail at.

"What is Rokku's deal...?" Noire thought. "He was working so hard before, and even though he ended up doing not so great of a job, he didn't give up. And here he is, doing it again, but worse...! What was he trying to prove to me...?"

Noire then frowned as she recounted the last time she saw him. "He looked a little... down in the dumps last we saw each other..."

The Lastation Godddess thought about it further and came to an unfortunate realization. "I...I think I remember... It was with my documents that he unintentionally screwed up with it. I was so angry that all my hard work was ruined and yelled at him."

Noire massaged her temples. "I guess I hurt his feelings... Was he trying to... impress me...? Wait, could that have been it...? All these acts in Lastation, just to get my attention...? If that's the case then... why...?"

Soon, Noire met up with the trio again. Neptune, however, had gone HDD, and was currently Purple Heart.

"O-Oh, hi..." Noire solemnly greeted.

"So," Shade began. "We learned that the reason Rokku's acting so strange is because of the love angel named Eroko. She shot him with her "love-pistol", which spread this non-violent virus around his body. He began to fall in love with the last person he was thinking of at the time, according to Eroko. Obviously, that person was you, Noire."

"I-I see..." Noire whimpered.

"Fortunately, we have a way to cure him!" Mega smiled, holding up a lecturing finger.

"To cure our friend of his love-dove curse, something must be done by the one who is being obsessed upon." Purple Heart explained. "That person is you Noire. You have to be the one to cure him."

Noire leaped on her feet with a determined (yet desperate) look. "How do I do it!? How do I knock this virus out of his system!?"

"Noire, you must show affection towards him." Purple Heart said.

"Wh-What...?" Noire said as her eyes slowly widened.

"It's exactly as I said. You must show affection towards him." Purple Heart said seriously. "Earlier yesterday, Rokku was very depressed and it was because of you, Noire."

"B-B...Because of...me...?" Noire was in shock herself.

"Yes. He was under the impression that you despised him."

Noire flinched a bit. "Wh-Wha... He thinks I hate him?! I don't-"

"Tell me, was Rokku trying to "impress" you or gain your attention at all recently?" Purple Heart asked.

"Well aside from the past hour, yes. The other day, he tried a few quests in my stead and did some of my paper work; All without my permission." Noire said. She sighed. "He messed up terribly on my documents and I... I yelled at him for it."

"And here we are." Purple Heart sighed. "The documents was the last breaking point for him, which is why he believes you hate him."

Noire felt a bit guilty. No, not a bit. She totally felt guilty for what her personality had caused. Everyone else was getting along with him well, everyone except seemingly Noire. She's to blame for the boy being the victim of this love virus.

"I...I didn't know." Noire admittedly sadly. "I don't hate him. Not at all. He just made an accidental mistake and I completely dealt with it terribly."

She sighed sadly. "I'm ashamed to call myself a Goddess after what I've done..."

"Quit being so hard on yourself." Shade said sternly. "You want to make up for what you've done? Cure him of this virus."

"And besides, Rokku's not the type to get so glum over something like this. He was bound to forgive you if you ever apologized!" Mega added.

"So, go and fix the wrongs." Purple Heart told her. "Only you can do it."

Noire felt nervous about it. But she had no choice. She wouldn't be able to call herself a Goddess if she couldn't make someone like Rokku happy again; Especially after she was the one who caused this in the first place. "I-I'll...I'll try..."

"Good. And while you do that, we're going to find that love angel. She got away before we could take her back here for further interrogation." Shade said. "In case she's lying, we can snuff the answers right out of her."

Noire nodded and watched as the trio headed out of the Lastation Basilicom. While Mega and Shade left the Basilicom completely, Purple Heart stopped and turned her head to Noire.

"Oh, I almost forgot. There is one other thing you have to do for Rokku." Purple Heart said. She was hiding a devious smile.

"What is it?"

Purple Heart turned her head to face Noire. "In addition to hugging Rokku, you must also kiss his cheek~"

Noire blushed madly. She wanted to scream 'W-W-WHAAAAAAT...!? T-T-There's no way I can do that!' But she didn't let it out. Instead, she slowly, but hesitantly, nodded. With that, Purple Heart followed Mega and Shade to find Eroko for further interrogation.

Noire was left standing alone, completely nervous about what she had to do. She had never kissed anyone before, let alone on the cheek. She lacked the confidence to do something like that, especially to a kid like Rokku.

However, she knew that he deserved it. Honestly, she realized that Rokku would visit her the most out of all the Goddesses. She had hardly noticed since she was mostly so busy. He could be hanging out with someone who he has the most in common with, Neptune, but no, he decides to hang out with Noire.

He deserved some type of affection, no matter how embarrassing it was...

Oh, who was she kidding? This was too embarrassing to do. What's embarrassing is embarrassing, she says.

She needed to do this however. So she needed to get some confidence.

"Rokkuuuuu~! Can you come over here for a second?"

Rokku came rushing towards the Lastation Goddess like a puppy who loved his owner. He found Noire to have gone HDD, becoming Black Heart. With her beautifully colored white hair tied up into a twin-tail and her CPU eyes.

She rubbed her arm, looking a tad bit nervous about what she was planning to do. However, she wasn't as embarrassed as she was previously, thanks to her slight personality shift as Black Heart.

Black Heart, ironically enough, got nervous when she looked directly at the young boy's eyes. "Geez... I have a strong feeling he'll pounce at me at any moment... I better act quickly before then..."

"Rokku, I think it's about time... I shown you my...a-affection." Black Heart said with a small, faint smile. "I need you to follow my directions exactly, okay...?"

Rokku nodded cheerfully. "Okay Noire~3"

Black Heart hesitantly spread her arms apart, inviting him closer. Without skipping a beat, Rokku threw his arms around her and squealed in delight. Black Heart still felt that this was embarrassing but...nice and sweet at the same time. Slowly, she wrapped her arms around him, stroking his hair gently.

She couldn't help but tremble a little from the sensation. But she hugged him tightly, smiling.

"I'm flattered that you admire me so much..." Black Heart admitted. "I don't despise you Rokku... I like you a whole lot... I just wanted you to know that... I'm sorry, for yelling at you. As a Goddess, I should've handled the situation much better... You didn't deserve my outrage, and I apologize for it..."

Black Heart leaned back a little. "Please, forgive me."

Slowly, Black Heart leaned in towards Rokku's cheek. She closed her eyes and immediately went for it.

Chu~3

Suddenly, a bunch of pink particles completely separated from Rokku's body before disappearing into nothingness. Rokku blinked a couple of times and looked up to notice that he was in the arms of Black Heart.

"Hgnnn... N-Noire...?" Rokku mumbled.

"Rokku...Are you okay?" Black Heart asked him.

Black Heart released him and allowed him to stand properly. He held onto his head and groaned. "I feel sick to my stomach, but aside from that, I'm cool... Though I am seeing colors I'm not supposed to be seeing right now..."

Black Heart folded her arms. "Yep, sounds like you're alright. You had me and everyone else concerned when you acted out of the ordinary..."

Suddenly, Black Heart perked up with a bit of blush on her face. "H-Hey, do you remember anything I said to you previously...?"

"Huh...?"

"Did you... hear anything I said to you a few minutes ago...?" Black Heart repeated.

"Ummm, no...?" Rokku answered. "Last I remember I was outside in Lastation when I suddenly got hit in the back of my head and fell to the ground. I got back up but then everything else is a blur..."

Black Heart sighed. Admittedly, she was a bit disappointed that he didn't hear her apology, but so far, it looks like he isn't depressed anymore, so that was a plus for her.

"S-Speaking of which... How did I get here?" Rokku asked.

Black Heart had a lightbulb appear above her head. "I...Brought you here. Yes, that's right. I brought you back here when you collapsed in the middle of the street."

The Lastation Goddess folded her arms and smiled arrogantly. "I saved your life, so be grateful, okay~?"

Rokku beamed happily. "O-Oh! Yeah, I am grateful! Thanks Noire! You're the best~!"

Black Heart blushed bashfully over his compliments. "Hmhmhmhm~ Tell me more~"

Unfortunately for her, Rokku didn't catch her request. Instead, she saw him walk past her. "H-Hey, where are you going?"

"For some reason, I feel REALLY tired, so I'm gonna hit the hay. I'll sleep in the guest room, if it's okay with you?"

Black Heart watched as the boy walked away. He didn't seem to wait to see if she gave him consent to use the room, but she just shrugged. She had a face that seemed like she didn't want to put up with nonsense for awhile.

The Lastation Goddess would not know that Rokku sleepily collapsed in front of the guest room until a little while later.

However, Noire would NEVER know that Neptune was actually lying about her having to kiss Rokku's cheek to cure him. The hug was enough to show her affection. The Planeptune Goddess was going to take this secret down to her grave.

"Yes, I will~! *w*" Neptune yelled cheerfully. "Nowaru must never find out~!"

Bonus Scenario:

"On a dark misty night of Lastation's metropolis, crime runs amok down on the streets. Petty thieves with no remorse for their actions whatsoever... But, when there's injustice... There is... JUSTICE!"

On the rooftops of Lastation stood a dark caped crusader. He did a dramatic pose, holding his cape in front of him so only his eyes were visible. Dramatically, he swung his arm, causing his cape to flow with the wind behind him. He displayed a heroic yet cocky grin and stared down at the city.

"I am vengeance! I am the night! I am...Mega Batman Neo!" He announced in a purposely deep and intimidating voice (though it was hurting his lungs trying to).

Suddenly, a familiar face bounced in and posed alongside him. She wore a poorly made mask and a even poorly made outfit consisting colors of black and yellow. Her short lilac hair stuck right out of her mask.

"And his trusty sidekick, who just so happens to potentially be in a relationship with Mega Batman Neo depending on the timeline, Batgirl Nep!" Nep exclaimed cheerfully.

Slowly, and reluctantly, a black haired girl walked beside Neo with an agitated expression. Wearing nothing but a skin-tight suit, a short cape and a eye mask. Her colors consisted of red, black and green.

"And girl wonder, Robin Shade." She said lazily.

"HEY!" Both Neo and Neptune shrieked and looked down to find Noire glaring at all three of them and Uni standing there confused. "GET THE HELL OFF MY ROOF YOU LUNATICS!"

Neo looked at Noire triumphantly, continuing to speak in his intimidating hero voice. Noticeably, his voice was starting to crack... "Lunatics are we?! Ha! Ha! Haah! You should be lecturing the villains down below! In the times of great crisis, the Darkest of Knights shall-"

"SHUT UP AND GET OFF MY ROOF!" Noire screamed.

Neo shrieked fearfully and told his two companions, "C-C'mon guys! Let's bail!"

Neo ran off to jump onto another rooftop.

"Hey! It's dangerous to go alone! Take Nep!" Neptune beamed happily as she followed after him.

Shade just groaned and facepalmed.

"Screw this." She grumbled as she climbed down the rooftop and to where Noire and Uni stood.

Noire looked at Shade skeptically and asked, "How do you put up with his awfully childish behavior?"

Shade shrugged. "I just do. You get used to it."

The trio heard the sound of garbage cans falling over and the sound of a cat screeching in terror. Shade's face expressed further annoyance.

"Eventually." Shade added, facepalming again in embarrassment and irritation.
