X R was increasingly tensing up for the past two going on three days as he made his way to Nos in the star command lab.

It wasn't his relationship with Nos, its still great and serious.

'Going for a whole year now since we've been together.' XR smiled thinking of what to do for their anniversary. 'Gotta be really special.' He thought happily for a moment and sion remember why he was tensing up. It wasn't his job, he hasn't gone nutso. 'If it isn't my friends that's keeping my head screwed on right, its Nos.'

Well in all honestly, it was the gifts. The gifts are the source of his misery and being so tense and soon enough stress so much. It has been the third time today for the past three days since Nos's fight from another energy vampire.

DRAC_2_LA

Just thinking of the creep was shifting his gears to 60 miles. ' He won't get away with harming Nos that way.' he sighed for the 25th time this week. The first time, Nos was presented with bouquets of roses and they were from the said vampire! 'It was annoying after the first two days." The second time, Nos was given a power source from that vampire creep!

XR sighed as he slowed a bit down. He knew before Nos was never one to turn away from food in the past, but it surprised him when Nos gave it to Buzz.

"I may be an energy vampire XR, but I will not accept anything from that DRAC_2_LA." Nos cupped XR's head and and grinnedl, still temporary blind. "I prefer the gifts you give me. They are are more special and personal."

He smiled from what Nos stated but that wasn't even the reason being so tense or bothered. He stopped a bit just as he was in front of the doors of the lab.

'This creep could offer a world to him and I can offer only me, why choose me?' he thought as he made his way to see Nos in the lab.

Nos was able to see again thanks to the repairs and a new program he installed but it was no surprise to see Nos looked upset but the oddest part was there was nothing in the lab. There was no dozen of grand bouquet of roses or mouth watering power source tubes to feed on.

XR was in a box with no idea to say so it was no surprise he blurted out unconsciously. "Did I miss something or is it invisible?" XR asked looking around even using all kinds of scans.

"He is offering me a planet." Nos said as he was rubbing his temples. He then growled as he crumble the disk, infuriated.

'This is getting ridiculously annoying.' Nos thought. 'I hate that I am finding myself hating roses and energy making me want to vomit.' He growled. "I swear, all of these gifts is giving my motherboard a migraine!" he then lied back down. "I do not and will not accept to be his mate!" Nos growled, sparks flared out around him.

XR came to Nos side calming him down. XR could hear Nos purring and much calmer than before. XR smiled and held Nos's hands.

"Sorry for my outburst and rage. Its not good for the circuitries."

XR chuckles and kissed Nos on the cheeks. "You know it and I know it. Creep needs to leave you alone." And felt a small pang in his core still bothered and filling with doubt.

Nos raised a brow in concerned, sensing something was bothering his little mate. "Is something the matter? Do you wish to talk about it?" he asked, cupping XR's head.

XR sigh and knew he couldn't hide anything from Nos. 'Nothing gets passed him.'

"Well there is something bothering me but I don't know how you'll feel if I tell you."

Nos reassured XR by kissing him warmly. "Please tell me, I will not get mad baby bot. We have known each other and been together for a year. I do not want you stressing over something that can be nothing."

XR thinking it over, went with it and looked to Nos. "It just... This bugs me a lot." He spoke as he sat next to Nos on the lab table. "I mean I know anyone would jump for something like this and yet... You would rather have me." He felt Nos held his cylinder body close.

"Not that its bad mind that but it amazes me why and I have this fear your going to leave me for him because he can offer you so much more. So I keep asking myself, why choose me?" XR asked nervously. "I hate to admit it but even i know he's strong and powerful and can be dangerous." he said not wanting to look at Nos and continued. "He's practically your equal in some ways or more. I'm… well I'm me. A robot that can't exactly offer you everything and I'm not even at your level! I'm not as strong as you." XR looked down.

Nos knew he was going to be ask, he just did not expect from his little mate. He unlatched the dome and lifted XR's head to have eye contact.

"XR, do you know what you have given me that DRAC_2_LA could never offer me?" he purred, making XR shivered.

But XR frowned, "I'm pretty sure he could offer the same thi- ouch!" he felt a sting down by his back.

Nos glared. "No not that XR." He growled lowly but optics still soft. "He may offer me gifts to impress me, offer me more than what I can imagine but that is not what I want." He held XR closely to his chest. "What you have offered me that he could not is your love, your loyalty and your honesty. You and I earn our love and that is something you cannot buy or take away." He smiled and continued. "Yes you are right, he is in status, my equal in ways but he is not the bot I chose to be my mate." He kissed XR cheek. "I chose you because you are kind and you have saved me, more ways than you will know. Do not doubt you are beneath me because quite frank, you are above and beyond. Meaning you are my equal and even more than my equal."

"But most of the time it was just luck!" XR turned to Nos.

Nos chuckles. "How many do you know can escape out of my hypnotic spell and out maneuver me in a chase?" He asked. He then continued as he caresses XR's cheek, "I know what you are capable of XR. You are a space ranger and my mate. My beginning." He removed one of his claw hands and held out a book of his latest Alex Romero book. "You are my fresh start from the life I almost went offline. You are my reason to live and nothing in this galaxy nor the universe that DRAC_2_LA can offer could be greater than what you have given me." Nos smiled and kissed XR's cheek and rubbed his head to him.

"And XR," he whispered huskily in XR's receptor. "I doubt he can offer me such when your all I need." Nos whispers huskily and optics glowing.

XR blushed and smiled felt Nos snuggles closer to him and he enjoys the moment.

In planet Transylvania-

DRAC_2_LA, still under repair, was for most waiting for any forms of news from Nos if he accepted all or any of his gifts. He was watching some old feed of Nos writing his latest book as he could not drink for the time being. He smirked knowing full well no one could dismiss such gifts he offered.

'Only a fool would dismissed such ownership of a planet.' He thought as he could imagine Nos coming and accepting his affections and gifts.

He heard one of his minions coming in. Before he could dismiss it with a growl, he saw it held out a box. He was surprised and grinned triumphantly.

"I wonder what-!" he glared and saw the holographic c of the planet he sensed was smashed into pieces and glared and howled in rage and was cut short when his jaw locked uup
