Love thy letters

XR tread across star command with a frown.

"It's nearly Valentine's day." XR said with a frown. The last time he had a Valentine's day card was never and it stung that 42 called off their relationship (3 days). He saw nearly everyone with a Valentine's day card and it wasn't even the day.

"Well I can count my friends-!" he paused seeing Mira with a card and bouquets and booster a small stack and Buzz had a table filled with them. All three saw XR and hid their gifts but the little bot just tread away.

XR went to see his brother who was faxing. He saw letters with hearts.

"Hey XR just sending these letters. Man talk about delivery as cupid." XL chuckles and XR nodded.

"So no Valentine?" XR asks an d XL shook his head no.

" I ain't into the whole lovey dovey thing. You?"

XR frowned and XL pat his younger brother in comfort.

"Hey you never know why your Valentine is just around the corner."

XL remarked and Nos entered in the lab.

XR blushes slightly as Nos raised a brow and turned to XL. "What did you say?" Nos asked.

Nos-4-a2 or Nos defected to star command when taken from the cargo ship. He remembered Nos coming out of his coffin and he was scared out of his wits. But Nos wasn't going to bite him but told him he ran away. Nos didn't want to be a weapon but to be himself. Since then they were good friends and has been helping XR through thick and thin even with the break up for 42. But lately he was starting to have an attraction to the energy vampire but is afraid he may not like him that way.

"Hey nothing serious just said his Valentine is just around the corner and you happened to come around. Everyone has been getting love letters but him." XL explained and XR could only feel a small pain in his core.

"XR do not worry yourself over this nonsense. You are a great space ranger and anyone can see that and if it's makes you feel any better, I have not gotten any letters."

"Oh by the way-mmph!" XL was stopped by Nos closing his mouth shut.

"What about that secret admirer that has been sending you letters? Maybe they'll show up on Valentine's day for you?" Nos spoke reassuring his friend.

XR smiles and nearly forgotten that. As of late, he has been getting love letters from a secret admirer even when he was with 42. The way they were written was beautiful and full of love in them. It was as if he was holding their very heart.

XR grinned "Thanks Nos, for being good to me. Well can't wait for Valentine's day now."

Nos nodded and handed a document to XL. "Here is my report from a recent mission." And float away.

XR blushed after Nos left.

"You know you can just tell him that you like, LIKE him. I bet he likes you that way." XL spoke.

XR blushed. "I can't. What if he doesn't like me that way and what about this admirer feelings?"

XL glared slightly. "Listen XR, Nos-4-a2 is pretty good guy and has stood by your side. I mean there are times I see him giving you a look like he was love sick or something."

XR felt hope and tread toward XL who accidentally dropped the papers.

"Sorry about that XL I-!" XR paused when he looked at Nos's report. He was shocked to find the energy vampire's handwriting was similar to his secret admirers' own!

"Hey no worries," XL said as he grabbed the papers from XR, "just an accident." He looked to see XR was in mixed feelings and looked to see it was Nos report and realized that moment.

"Before you act, think carefully."

"But XL he written to me even when I was with 42! He written to me for about a year now and," XR looked down and felt hurt. "How can I talk to him?"

XL sighed and looked to XR. "Look you didn't hear it from me. Nos has been wanting to tell you how he feels since he felt that way."

"Then why didn't he tell me?" XR asked.

XL scratched his head. "Well he did but that was my fault." XR then looked confused.

"When he wrote the first one, I accidentally got an ink split on his name and well when you got it… well he decided to keep it that way. He figured maybe it was best you didn't know and until he felt ready to tell you the truth and he wants to tell you on Valentine's day."

XR was awed and felt bad. He shouldn't of thought of Nos trying to hurt him. "I gotta tell him."

"Hey don't! He wants to surprise you!" XL stopped him and began to pull XR back.

"XL LET GOOO!" XR said as he was trying to reach out to the door. As the door open XL lost grip and XR flung through and slammed on the unexpected.

XR groan but when he looked to see who he landed on, he was blushing like crazy and he wasn't the only one.

Nos was wide eye and his face was the shade of a blue berry.

XR wanted to kiss him and never let go but XL's word were bugging him.

"So sorry Nos! Buzz called me and I had to head out ASAP!" XR then tread away smiling as he couldn't wait for Valentine's day.

Nos got up still blushing away but trying to calm himself down.

'Just a few more days and I'll tell him.'
