XL was not as you can say the friendly type when it comes to the safety of his little sister and exploding things. When he found out he had a sister, he wanted to protect her so gave up on revenge against their dad and took up being a bounty hunter for star command but still steal parts. They spend a lot of time together, nearly inseparable(only because he kidnaps her) .

There was just one very large problem.

Nos-4-a2.

The energy vampire.

Her stalker.

XL was glaring at a picture of him on a target pallet in his (not so) secret hideout.

XL shot several blasts at it and he glared as it was intact, mocking him. He was trying to figure out what is it that Nos wants from his sister.

He doesn't know much about him aside being opposed to Zurg. What's driving him enraged was learning this creep out of nowhere, stalking his little sister.

'Does he want her as a slave?' He thought imagining that parasite's shadow looming over his little sister and seeing her scared and curling into a ball. XL glared in irritation.

'What if he wants to feast on her energy?!'

He was so enraged, he sprayed acid, leaving nothing in it's stand but the picture somehow saved!

"What do I have to do to get rid of you!? Keep her away from you?! " Then it clicked in his head,] XL smirked. "I can get rid of him alright. If he's gone, he'll never get XR!" XL grins evilly, unaware of the said parasite listening in on him.

'I had always believed he was insane but seeing him talk to himself takes the cake.' Nos thought but hearing him devising a plan to rid of him and keeping him from XR is very cruel.

'And here I was hoping to ask for his blessing out of respect. Not to mention he should tighten security.' Nos perked of an idea and smirked.

'Let see how far he can keep me away from her….' And he flew off.

"XL is this really necessary?" XR glared as she was tied up in a chair. She was kidnapped by her brother once again. She was at star command doing reports and now she woke up in his (not) secret lair. His newest reason why he kidnapped her was only to protect her from the energy vampire. She blushed at the thought of him.

"I'm only doing this to protect you XR!" XL proclaimed. "That evil parasite is gonna get what's coming to him!"

Ever since the incident, Nos has been trying many ways to see her and in his words, court her. She blushed at the many times he found her or kidnapped her but at least he doesn't keep her tied up. Nos mostly talk to her with so much respect and he courts her by bringing her roses and somehow places love letters in the lab room by her charger. The one time she gotten herself tied in wires, Nos appeared, he was giving her that same look from their first meeting.

"Darling rose, are you teasing me or are you insisting?" He purred to her.

XR blushes and remembered he did got her out but not without kissing her forehead and trying to kiss her.

'He reminds me of that skunk from that one cartoon.' As much as she loves her brother, she disliked the idea of being kidnapped, especially when he intends to hurt Nos.

"What is more safe than my place!?" XL protested

"Star command, Cosmo, Tangea, even trade world," XR was already listing and saw her brother glare.

"Hey!" He then hears the doorbell ring.

"Huh?! I didn't order anything…. Least I don't think I did…" XL walked to his main computer to see a delivery man just outside his asteroid.

"Delivery for an XL?!"

XL was conflicted but seeing that his sister was preoccupied with being tied up, he decided to check it out.

"There are some catalogs and books to entertain you."

XR glared and XL chuckles nervously and closes the door.

As soon as he left, XR sighed and glared.

"I know you're here Nos, come on out." she spoke and saw the energy vampire just before her with a small bouquet of roses.

"As I always say, beauty and brains." Nos grins happily. "My my XR, you are teasing me." Nos purrs seeing her tied like a present.

XR glares at him who was unfazed but was in awed.

"Can you just please get me out? I hate being tied-"

Slash!

XR saw the metal ropes were already cut up.

"My apologies luv. I hate to see you in distressed, you are too beautiful for such negative feedback."

XR blushes, still not use too being called beautiful. "Thanks but what did you do to get XL this crazy?" She crosses her arms only to blush when Nos came close, optics glowing with adoration.

"That was all on him luv." He floated upwards, looked bored talking about her brother. "He thought the best way to protect you was to bring you here-"

"-Only for you to take this as a chance to have me alone." XR finished his sentenced and sees him floating lazily like a cat.

"Smart as always. Of course, I need to make certain he stays out." Nos floated to the computer and pulls the panel to bite but looked rather disgust. "Maybe not bite into it, I fear he does not clean properly."

XR hate to be mean but she agreed with him.

Nos pulls out a chip out of his wrist and insert it within the computer. Nos pulls out a small tablet and began typing a few codes in it. "As soon as I am done, I will give you all of my attention."

XR blushes and already decided to find a good hiding spot, not wanting Nos to make a move on her like every time he sees her.

'I also don't wanna be in the crossfire between him and my brother.'

"So... you know where this package from?" XL asked after he gave a signature, an optic scan, a hand print and answering crazy question about having four eyes but doesn't see for the past ten minutes.

"Sorry sir I don't know but you still need to answer the riddle."

XL took a moment. "Is it a blind man?" He asked.

"You said that three times." the delivery man stated. XL glared and took it upon himself to do a quick research.

"Mississippi?!"

"Correct!" The delivery man smiled and hands him a box. "Have a wonderful solar cycle!"

XL grins and opens the box only to find a smaller box. Each time he opened it there was another box until finally there was a folded paper. He unfolds it to read what it said.

"If you're reading this then you are a bigger fool than I thought. Nothing can keep me away from her.

Sincerely the parasite."

XL growls in rage and rips the paper to pieces. He rushes back in but dodges a blast from a ray gun he placed in.

"What the-!" He saw few more coming out only deadlier.

"Oh no…"

Nos smirked as he sees XL running away and getting zapped. He made sure it was not deadly. 'I hate to make bad blood between in laws.'

"Now that this is done luv-!" He turns to find XR was nowhere to be seen. Nos smirks as he looks around for her.

"Now luv do not be shy. I just long for your company but I do enjoy a small game of chase." Nos spoke out only to find her in a glass box.

Nos growls happily as XR pouts and looks away from Nos.

Nos places a claw against the glass and sees it was quite strong. Nos frowns seeing XL has actually something to keep him away from his beloved.

"It's stronger than steel!" XR proclaimed.

Nos tilted his head in confusion. 'Did she say I hate you?'

XR glared. "I said it's stronger than steel!"

Nos was still confused shaking his head but looked hurt and sighed. He mouthed "I apologize that you hate me."

XR was still, trying to figure why he said that.

'i don't hate him…. I like him a lot…" She saw him floating over to a table and holds up a ray gun.

He float away to be out of sight, not wanting to let her see his death.

XR was shocked so without thinking, XR opens the glass box and rushes to tackle Nos only for him to zoom in and holds her close and the door shuts itself. Nos purrs and nuzzles close to XR who was too shocked to understand what just happened. "Just as cuddly as I imagine."

XR blushes and glared at him. "You weren't gonna shoot yourself." She stated.

"Well I was but when I saw you open the door, I knew you would not let me do it."

XR was shocked. "Why would you do that!?"

"If you did hate me and wish me gone, I would do it."

XR was flustered, 'He would do that?'

"Nos don't ever attempt that please? I don't want you to ever doing that. I care really a lot about you" She felt Nos purrs.

"Yes luv."

XR smiles but her blush deepens when Nos held her hand and kisses it.

XR felt the small shocks as Nos kisses began to move across from her hand to her arm.

XR kept shuddering as she felt the small shocks after every kiss he planted. She blushes even more when Nos was already at her shoulder.

"Aren't you being a little too forward than usual?" XR squeaks out as Nos kisses her head.

"Hear my soul speak:
The very instant that I saw you, did
My heart fly to your service." He growls deeply and XR blushes.

"Nos th-that's very sweet of you-"she stops when he was close to her neck feeling his fangs but relieved that he didn't bit her but rather kisses her neck.

"Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love." He whispers and holds her flustered to his chest.

XR clutches to Nos as he leans forward to kiss her.

Just when he was so close, the alarm went off.

Nos pulls away and growls.

"Better get going then." XR blushes when Nos kisses her cheek.

"I will but this will not stop me from seeing you."

Nos got out of the box as well help her out. He let's his wings out and blew a kiss.

"Until then." He flew out just as XL broke through the walls.

"XR are you safe?!" He shouted and he saw her there sitting within the box holding a bouquet of roses.

XL was shocked to the real reason.

"You ain't seeing her no more, NOS-4-A2!"

Far away in his own cruiser.

Nos chuckles as he watches through the cam he planted in the bouquet.

"As if he can stop me from seeing her." Nos chuckles as he coos at the sight of his golden rose.

"Until next time luv."
