Chapter Text

Star command few days later

XR already had gotten the last of his things he made easy to grab and leave but he didn't request to take his charger; he already made an order for a new and comfortable charger fit for 2 a few days ago. He smiles and grabs his box in his humanoid form, excited to show Nos his new home!

"Gee I can't believe it." Booster was a bit sad to hear his friend moving out of Star Command but it was a good thing for XR knowing this will help him get away from 42 and all the problems with it.

"Better believe it Booster." XR grins and turns to his friend. "I'm moving out like I hoped before; I got myself a place on the capital planet so traveling won't be a problem."

"XR I heard you're moving out!" Buzz shouted as he ran into the lab that was once XR's room. "You can't settle in that agent's home!"

"I'm not." XR stated, he felt a bit annoyed to see Buzz looking relieved.

"Oh good, moving in with him would be bad on you." Buzz could imagine when they break up, XR will lose everything. "So living in the suburbs? I recall a house was sold down on my street-"

"Not the suburbs Buzz." XR cuts him off and walks away with Booster.

"Living in the city?" Buzz comes up and walks with XR and takes the box from his robotic friend. He was hoping for a thanks or a smile but XR gave him a look that was ready to argue with him. XR immediately took it back.

"No thanks." XR glares at him and walks away.

"I take it you haven't patch things together?" Mira walks up to him and Buzz was quiet. He and XR were still working as a team, but they haven't been back to normal ever since the fight. There were moments when things seemed normal again but the second after a mission, XRleft without a word. In fact, at the last space cadets meeting, XR worked with the kids but wouldn't budge to work together with him.

"He said he's willing to talk if I apologize and took back what I said about hisboyfriend. But I am not wrong."

"Listen to yourself Buzz," Mira stops him from following XR. "You can't be serious about losing not only a teammate, but your friend. You gotta make things up to XR or else you'll lose the few friends who got your back." She added.

Buzz muddled his options; he is hoping to fix their friendship but what bothers him is this atu man! He walks in a hurry to stop XR who was putting his stuff in the trunk of that Atu's partner. He took a breath and walked over to him. "I know you like the bustling city and the highlights but you need to consider the disadvantages of living in the city! Running late, traffic, and the turmoil getting to star command?! And don't get me started on the prices!" Buzz knew how hard it was and XR needed a better place to live. "I know we're not on friendly terms, but if you need to stay close I can-"

"Buzz, I'm a robot, I can just fly out to work." XR shifts the boxes but wasn't looking at him. "Besides, I'm thinking of getting my own ride to drive around the capital city. My pal is willing to help me get one and at a good price." XR takes the box back. "But I'm not living in the city. Just know that it's a good place and you can trust me."

"You can't be that serious living with him! What if it doesn't work out?!" Buzz stops him and blocks him from getting in.

"Hey butt out!" Ryder shouted.

"Buzz I told you I'm not-!" XR stops and feels a migraine coming. He recalls the breathing methods his therapist sent him and took a moment. He has been trying to keep calm since their fight and he's been trying to be patient with his friend. "Buzz, buddy, I said I'm not living with him for the third time. However, I love my boyfriend, I am really happy with him and experiencing love in a way words can't describe. You may think I'm rushing or thinking too much about it, but I want to be serious with him so there's going to come a point we will move in together and raise his daughtertogether." XR emphasizes that last part.

"XR you can't jump on being a dad like that, you can't say you like it and when you become a full time parent, it can change. You may end up not liking it- you can get bored!"

XR takes a moment. "You know I would have agreed with you a year ago but it's different. I know it's not for everyone, but I got to know his daughter and she is the nicest, creative and very shy but she loves animals and takes pictures of them and likes to read about bugs!"

"You don't like bugs." Buzz stated.

"I do not but I have held them just so she could take their picture and hear a lot of facts that really helped too! I learned a lot about being part of someone's life that is not from the job. I got to be a part of her and Nosferatu's life that makes me feel different. I don't want to give them up for anything."

"XR, I understand what you're feeling." Buzz spoke up. "You feel like you're making a difference in their lives. It makes you feel great. It makes you feel you're being a hero."

"I am not with them to feel better about myself. I am there because I feel like I have more than just a purpose of being a space ranger. I got to understand some things I didn't know I had. I want to keep being in their lives because to me they're special." He smiles. "So no it's not about being a hero, or feeling better about myself, I feel I'm whole with them."

Buzz had to stop before asking once again. "So is this why you're moving out? Where are you moving to?"

XR stops and feels done with this conversation. "Since you're not gonna give up on figuring out where I'm living, I got a cabin that has a good source of power for meandI can just fly perfectly out and back to work and to my new home. I already requested report duty so I can settle in my home and not rush to a mission. I still like the city life but I'm enjoying my time in the town and it's nice to be out there and not in the center of attraction. Plus, I like to have privacy and not hear me with my boyfriend when we want time alone. Not to mention I don't have to be cornered by journalists and weasel paparazzi sinceyoucaused it with 42's help." XR takes the last box from Booster just as he came. "I'll be fine."

Buzz was startled but this change had him startled and felt his team, was splitting up. He couldn't have that. He sends the prepared info to the commander. "I'm sorry XR."

XR stops just as he opens the door, he feels a little bad about the change. "Look Buzz, I'm sorry about the fight before. I know you can't trust Nos yet, but he's a real good guy who is making the same difference as you but for people he cherishes and loves. I know it's been hard to understand, so maybe when you are ready, you can have a proper meeting with him.

Buzz was surprised. "XR-"

"XR! REPORT TO MY OFFICE! NOW!"

XR stops and looks at his friend. "What did you do?" He glares down at him.

"XR I didn't-" but Buzz didn't get a chance to explain when the speaker came on again.

"You better get here in 3 minutes! On the double!"Nebula shouted through the speaker.

XR was startled. "Can you take my stuff to my place?"

Ryder gave him a thumbs-up. "Better hurry." And he sees XR has already run to the office. Buzz followed swiftly behind, he needed to fix this.

XR ran faster than Buzz and was able to get there with a minute to spare. He felt he should revert to his robotic form but he was not going to hide about this. 'It's time to talk to pops.' He takes out the necklace and puts it in his pocket. He feels eyes on him and he feels a bit nervous but doesn't feel as bad with the pendant in his pocket.

When he entered he felt an intense feeling but he stood firm. "You called for me, commander?" He didn't feel right to call him pops knowing there's gonna be arguments. He sees Buzz coming into the office, panting.

"Good you're here too Lightyear." Nebula grins at Buzz but looks at the cause of commotion with a sneer. He did not like robots much, but he tolerated XR for the sake of Buzz saying XR has potential as a space ranger. He in fact favored Buzz which is why he hasn't shut down XR and seen the potential Buzz said. 'But what's making me mad is him impersonating a living person!' " Nebula was getting more annoyed by the second. "I was given reports about your recent activities. In fact, just now, I got a report saying you're in bed with this agent?!"

"Commander-"

"Hey! I haven't got to 3rd base yet so we haven't yet!" XR corrected him. "But there are times we get a bit fired up…." XR mumbles that part. "Plus he's been really good to me-"

"Listen XR, whatever this wannabe hero has with you, it won't last. He is keeping that Helsing child in that remote home somewhere in the mountains as an affront."

XR was startled that the commander knew about Vanet and noticed Buzz was surprised.

"Commander, did you get that part of information from the GA?"

"Of course I did, Lightyear," Nebula stated.

[Lie detected]

XR was quiet now as his system was detecting a lie. Buzz never knew about the exact location because the trees were taller and it was isolated and GAF never gives away their agents home address or location. 'I need to know how he knows about that.'

"Back to the matter about that wannabe Vampire. When did you meet him."

XR was quiet but cleared his throat. "I met Nosferatu Atu back when I was doing security as a side gig. Yeah I was trying to get some extra credit on the side because you know being in star command, I didn't get paid much. I met Nos at the time as part of the security and we didn't get along at first." XR added a lot of details and secretly sent them to Nos. When he finished, he could tell pops was wrapping his head around his explanation. Buzz however didn't believe his story at all.

"... So is there a problem with me dating Nosferatu?" XR waited for their answers.

"XR," Buzz pauses and looks at his friend. "We need to know if you are sure you really like this guy? I'm not judging, but…. You just recently broke up with 42." He was trying to be nice about it. "Not that it's bad, just wondering if you feel like there's pressure or something else going on…. From the agent?" He pauses and sees the look his friend is giving him. "The commander-"

"He is the agent that threatens Star Command's reputation!" Nebula stated. "How can you be fine about this!?"

XR was trying to process this right. "So you're telling me a nice guy, who's technically on the same field but on a different team, is doing his job; that's what bothers you the most? You paint him as a villain when he's a good guy who has a daughter." XR raises a brow, this is bringing him a migraine. 'You know, I wish it was anything but Nos being an agent.' "Look, I'm going to say this on record: Nos doesn't have some kind of evil agenda to ruin Star command."

"You don't know that XR but I'm trying to be fair." Buzz stood firm, he felt this agent was taking everything away. "Nosferatu Atu, for all you know, is an evil agent from Zurg trying to destroy us. I mean he can be manipulating you-"

"Buzz you're been a real dipstick ever since I was his friend and you're bringing in the commander into this just out of spite!" XR shouted and tensed up when he heard silence. "L-look, I really love this guy and I don't care if he becomes your rival. And so what he's from a different division, he hasn't tried to pick a fight with you. He is protecting his family and all he wants is to keep them happy." He looks at them. "I'm happy with him so please don't force me to choose a side. Don't make this into a thing."

"We're not making you choose." Buzz stated. "It's just-"

"Since you're still going to date that vampire lookin' freak, you better report to us what he does!" Nebula stated. "That's an order as your head commander!"

XR was feeling infuriated and yet when given a command order, he was resisting. He was internally struggling as he felt the command was overwriting. He was literally reprogramming his system directive to choose what he'll do.

[System command changed]

(Directive from star commander deleted)

"No I am not taking that order," XR stood firm and glared.

Buzz was shocked to see XR was against their commander! "XR-"

"Listen you rust bucket! You're star command's property! You do what I say! I know enough-"

"Do you really know enough?! Did you know a little girl lost her mother?! Did you know no space ranger was there to help them?!" XR slams his fist into the desk, feeling a bit bad but he wasn't focusing on that. "Nosferatu was the only person there to protect her! We failed as protectors-"

"A space ranger is not a local police officer!" Nebula glares. "There are bigger problems than one kid!"

"It's our job!" XR glares, his optics glows through the goggles. "Did you know?! Did you know anyone wasn't there when it happened?" XR wished and hoped it was a misunderstanding. But the more he had thought about it, the more it made sense. Only one person who could have authorization to move space rangers around.

"XR, I didn't know about the little girl or her mom. It was an accident." Nebula stated.

[Lie detected]

"And there were far more important missions-"

"I get it." XR steps back with utter hate and disgust at the commander, he couldn't believe it but he had the truth. "You hadyourorders, I got mine but I'mnotgoing to report to you about my boyfriend."

"XR!" Buzz took a step forward but saw XR stepped back again.

"If you're not gonna side with us, then you're no longer on missions! You'll be suspended, doing reports!"

"Fine! Gives me time away from here and from you! I'm out!" He turns and leaves the room and without saying a word, past the halls, and out to space. He flew out and kept the anger out until he was flying to the direction of the capital planet but stopped to see Nos in space. XR froze but he floated to him and held onto him, feeling Nos held him in his arms, not saying a word.

"It's not safe out here for you Nos." XR glides through to get to him. "But I'm grateful you're here."

"You were sending me information and I had a feeling something was wrong," Nos floated to him and held him. "I had to see you." He did not let go of him as he floated to his ship.

"I-" he stops when Nos kisses him on the head.

Nos kisses him again on the optics and nuzzles him, sensing the tense energy in him was calming down. "Do not force yourself to talk, you can talk when you are ready."

XR lays his head on his shoulder and he sees Nos carry him to his ship and bring him to his coffin. He places him down and nuzzles him. "You need to recharge." He heard Nos speak as he sat a good foot away from him. He realized now why Nos was giving him space each time around the coffin. Every time he did this was to give him respect as a lover and a friend but also worried of crossing that boundary when it came to sharing a space in his coffin. He holds Nos's hand and pulls him in the coffin. "Stay with me inside your coffin."

Nos was surprised but changed to his humanoid form and joined him."So we can fit in. I remember the last time, it was a bit snug." Nos lies next to him. "It's set to land near Valder Town so it will take an hour." He holds XR but feels XR holds onto him tightly.

"Can I kiss you?"

Nos perked at the question and cups his face. "You do not need to ask, you can kiss me or anything you want from me. No permission asked." He nuzzles his head.

"But what if it does?" XR holds him tightly. "What if I just found out who helped DRACthatday? Would you still love me if they were in the same circle of family?" He asked. "Would you hate me?"

Nos cups his face. "You did not cause the event," he kisses him softly. He pulls away from the small kiss and nuzzles him. "You did not make Vanet an orphan. I still love you no matter what." He moves XR to lay on top of him.

XR looks at his boyfriend before lifting himself to hover over him. He leans forward and kisses him and feels Nos hands on his shoulder until he wraps them over his shoulders. XR couldn't stop himself when his hands touched and held him close before they moved to his boyfriend's hips. He pulled a bit away and felt something stir in his core and his systems that he wanted something more. But he then thinks of earlier and frowns.

"I can't stop thinking about what happened earlier. I want more with you but I can't stop thinking about the arguments and the fight from the commander and Buzz." He holds onto Nos. "And I want to do more with you but I don't want to make it from something bad."

Nos holds onto him and caresses his back. "I understand my love. What do you want to do to clear your mind?"

"I don't know." XR frowns before thinking how he wished they could just do more than share memory through the norm or talk about it. He wants to share his feelings, his thoughts and how bad he wants Nos so much that kisses were only stalling his hunger.

Nos holds him and nuzzles his lover before he understands but can see this was not a simple problem. 'I need to calm him somehow.' "Tell me what you want and I will do it."

XR had so many thoughts. "I just want to think of only you and nothing else. Not star command, not the commander or how bad it's been. I want to do more with you so bad! But the way I want you is…." XR had to think about how to explain it and looked at Nos with need. "My desire is like how hungry you can get." XR holds his hand. "I want to do more with you, more than just kiss you. Every kiss with you feels like a taste and the more I get it, the more gluttonous I get. In fact my mind is running wild about you! But I'm scared I can hurt you or do worse to you. I'm scared that I'm going to be obsessed and make you uncomfortable and I don't want that to ruin us. It's also why I can't do what I want with you until I know it's ok. I want to do those things only if you want it." XR sometimes wished he didn't want to rush things with Nos, but each time they were alone, be it their organic forms or their robotic forms, there was that feeling- a burning sensation he wanted to feel if he had the chance and he kept feeling it when they're together.

Nos nuzzles him. "When do you want to try this then?" He asked and can see XR was surprised. "You trusted me drinking from you, you have been patient with me, I want to show you just as much and be there for you."

"But this isn't just drinking energy or just kissing!" XR was flustered. "It's like- like dancing and connecting with more than just wires! I could hurt you in our organic form!"

"I trust you XR and I know the bees and the flowers, Ryder gave me a book about it but in this case it is more of a slug and the bee." Nos thought it was the best example Considering his anatomy.

XR couldn't help but laugh. "Really? A slug?" He laid his head on his boyfriend's chest and saw that Nos didn't retaliate or get upset for laughing. "Thanks but I kinda picture our times to be special so it's also a good thing not to jump into it right now. Plus this is a special thing Nos and you're important to me." He holds him around the hips. "But it makes me feel good knowing you trust me." he looks at Nos with lovey dovey eyes. "Can we just lie like this and cuddle?" He feels Nos holds him like a teddy bear and purrs away. It was soothing his systems better, making it easier to relax. He lies on top of him as he feels Nos's core vibrating and hears it beating like a heart. 'As much as I enjoy this, I wish we could do more together.' That was when his chest panel opened up and saw Nos's chest panel did the same. "I know there's a thing called wire play, but this is not what I had in mind." XR was turning dark when they were lacing together and soon they both groaned from the wires connecting into their cores.

"I-it feel so d-different~!" XR hitches his breath to a gasp when he feels sparks in his chest.

Nos held onto him, trying not to claw on his lover's back but this was overwhelming! He was arching and moaning, clinging onto XR like his life depended on it. "I feel good and-" Nos was getting a sensation over him that was clouding his mind.

XR moans and something happens that he feels a wave of an unfamiliar feeling over his body that made him and Nos blacked out. The wires are still connected to each other but their cores glowing in sync.

25 minutes later

XR was the first to wake up next to Nos who was asleep under him and saw through the window of the ship, they were in a grass field. He was going to get up when he shuddered from the faint spark in his core. He looked down to see they were still connected, making him lie back down but laid on his side. It was a real sight to see Nos so asleep and he gets to see him like this. He didn't know if he should wake him up or let him sleep a bit more and after a battle of thoughts in his head, chose to let him sleep a bit more. He lightly touches one of the many wires and was surprised Nos moans lightly in his sleep. When XR touches another, he tries not to moan so loud.

He replayed what happened and after some minutes passed, he found out what they did and what he felt was pleasure. 'Who knew and to think, it was more different than what we usually do.' He was used to messing with wires with 42 but after an accident, they didn't try again and went with memory sharing. He couldn't help but like this way better and the fact it was something special. He looked though and noticed there were two that looked like cables. They were a bit thicker and traced it and he couldn't help but moan out from the weird but good sensation. He felt it react like a zap from a shock of electricity but instead of it being painful, it felt good.

Nos woke up to a surge he was unfamiliar with that made him arch up and against XR who was startled by the reaction. "XR, please give me a moment to collect my thoughts…" Nos moans out and looks to XR with half lidded glowing optics.

XR blushes at the sight and couldn't help but try to keep self control from touching the wires again but suddenly the wires disconnected from each other and retracted back into their chests.

"That was a bit weird and kinda disappointing, I was hoping to learn more about the wires." He grumbles but he gets a notification from the ship and was startled by the unexpected new connection to the system along with new programs like reading energy and new vision alterations he didn't have. He had scanned his system and everything and saw after their connection, XR had developed some new programs from Nos but they weren't average programs! He also saw memories and thought process! Heck even having a literal map of planet z?! This was like a whole new level of interface! He unintentionally opened the ship's mainframe and saw they were not far from his home. "Are you ok there Nos?" XR asked, noticing the same "Why are there programs I didn't have" look on Nos.

"XR, there seems to be-" Nos blushes deeply, seeing memories and XR's thoughts.

"Yeah I have your memories and programs too. I think our uni-minds or cores had some kind of interface connection that pretty much made us able to share literally almost everything." XR sat up and tried to compose himself from the multiple information. "Since we're here, wanna see something I've been working on?"

Nos looked at him surprised. "Is it done?" He remembered XR was working on something but was very insistent to keep it as a surprise.

"Not yet but I'm just missing one thing but I want to show you." XR grins standing up and feeling a bit energetic.

"Yes, but after I am done composing myself." Nos was still trying to decompress from pleasure and tremors still in his system that were slowly fading but he felt embarrassed at the thought of doing it again. When he was able to compose himself again, he got up with XR and left the ship, keeping it hidden, and followed his love.

"So remember that place I was hoping to buy but ended up choosing to keep on looking?" XR asked Nos. "Yes, I recall that." XR hears Nos reply and he leads him to his new home.

"I did look through other places but they were in the city and mostly apartments. Staying in the suburbs was a thought but then the idea of crossing paths with Buzz wasn't the best idea, especially with the thought of him trying to pry under the "being a good neighbor" excuse. That and I like my privacy." He grumbles.

"But your dad showed me this great cabin and I fixed it up." XR grins and shows him the outside area first and sees there were solar panels on the top of the trees but hidden well.

Nos did notice a special barrier around the perimeter of the cabin. He noticed there were two kelms and a little storage house that looked to preserve items. "Is this for cooking or for my work?"

"Mostly for your work but maybe one kelm can be made to cook. I am learning to cook too." XR smiles to show him inside the storage room and sees there are shelves and a machine for the clay to recycle and reuse. "So I was thinking and I had an idea if you're up for it about making a passage like you did for Vanet but in a different way." XR takes out a blueprint from his chest to show him his idea and Nos was analyzing the blueprint. He was getting nervous the way Nos was studying the print, not knowing if it was a good concept or not. "I could draw another idea out-"

"I like it." Nos beams to him. "Plus getting the materials will not be hard to get but it will take some time with tests." Nos grins. "If you do not mind making it with me-"

"Definitely!" XR grins excitedly but is too hyper. "I mean of course, plus I like to try building stuff with you since you really make great stuff." He clears his throat. "So, wanna see the inside of my house?"

"Very much." Nos took his hand and was led inside to find it was a bit more to XR's style being more 50s but he saw XR kept it more kid friendly for Vanet seeing the shelves were although more modern, were made for her height and books on fairy tales and animals. 'Even on bugs.' he smiles but sees there was a kitchen he knew XR did not need but saw he was thinking about Vanet and company.

"I also wanted to show you this too, though I want your opinion on it." XR showed him The other rooms and saw one had XL but was led up to an attic he guessed.

"I know it'll get cold but I was thinking Vanet could like this for herself and it's spacious. I can rework the walls in a few weeks so they can be insulated." XR smiles.

"Already thinking ahead past the court date?" Nos asked.

XR smiles and holds his hands. "Hey, I know without a doubt, Vanet is going to stay with you. I'm feeling positive about it even and going against any odd." He feels a bit flustered but looks at him in his servos. "I want to show you I have faith in you and I'm being very serious about being in your life and hers and not being limited time. I want 100% to be with you." XR rubs his thumbs into Nos's palms.

Nos could already imagine Vanet's excitement and even thought of designing a dome within the ceiling. Though he then wondered where he would be staying when he comes over the weekends. "She will love it, though I feel awkward to ask this; where do I sleep when I have to stay over as well?" He turns to XR who was grinning and takes a room. Nos enters the room first and is bewildered to step into the purple and burgundy marble design room with the stars painted in the purple parts and in the burgundy there are gold swirls within it. He sees XR has two sets of drawers but each one was on both sides. They were not similar, one was silver with purple outline and the other was of gold with burgundy red. He was surprised XR even set up the closet to fit two people's coats and shoes.

"Is this what you've been doing?" Nos was surprised why XR could not come by.

"I figured we could stay together in one room." He can tell he was getting nervous. "I know it's unexpected and a big dive in our relationship- but I was hoping we can try this out. The biggest part I need is your approval and your answer."

Seeing Nos quiet, he was now getting embarrassed and nervous. "I know it's fast and rushed- not that it's bad- but I want to try it out- I made the coffin too as an option but we can move it-!" He stops when he feels Nos hugs him and pulls him to the charger bed. He was getting steamed up when he was on top and over.

"You are the sweetest XR, and very cunning." Nos smirks and leans down a bit. "As for being fast," he purrs as he cups XR's face. "I love whatever pace we go because it is our pace." He kisses his love. "And I do want this." He purrs but soon he was swapped and was now under his XR.

XR blushes but he felt that urge again and dips down to kiss his neck. When he bit his lover's neck and licks the spot, he shudders and feels the sparks. He gets flustered but doesn't stops and kisses all over his neck.

XR was getting handsy now that he was feeling daring and confident. It was just like the moment under the cherry blossom tree and at the tower but it's different. They have no one to bother them and no one to intervene in their time, just them alone. His mind was no longer on star command or family betrayal, it was all on loving his boyfriend and trying something new with him.

He shudders when he feels Nos caressing his sides and silently urges to kiss his neck in turn and lets him but he takes the chance to move his hands on him. He blushes when he thinks about the buttons and feels him kissing where his Adam apple is and sucks on it. He moans into the nips as he holds onto his hips. "Can I open your shirt?" He shudders feeling those fangs against his neck.

"Darling love, you can do anything you want with me." Nos whispers and bites his neck softly and sucks. He has been wanting to do more with XR and this was the time. "I feel very invigorated to do things we have yet to try." He purrs nuzzling to XR

"You sure?" XR can say he never got to do this with 42 mostly because they were on missions and the closest to intimacy was wire play and sharing data. But this is different, he wanted the things he could now do with Nos and not scare him out. "I know I said earlier I want to do more with you," he kisses Nos and moans into it. When he pulls away, Nos licks his lips. "But I don't want you to do something you're not comfortable with." He shudders feeling Nos clamp onto his neck but doesn't sink his fangs. He melts when Nos pepper kisses his neck. "Promise you'll tell me?" He shudders from the lick.

"As you do the same, love." Nos purrs and lays back as XR begins to unbutton the top and gets nervous. 'I've diffused bombs in seconds, been in dangerous situations, but I'm so nervous unbuttoning my boyfriend's shirt?' Unbuttoning each one felt like he was breaking any restraint he had on himself. When he got to the last one, his optics was roaming over Nos's chest and thought back to the day of the hangout at the beach. Even now, he can't get his servos from looking away at Nos.

Leaning down, XR kisses his chest and recalls the times Nos was pierced through but most of all the nightmare he had recently.

"XR?" Nos noticed the pause on his lover and held him when XR held him.

XR holds him tightly. "I want you to know I'm sorry about those times you got staked through the chest." He kisses down and across, hearing Nos purring. "I know it's in the past, but thinking about it now, I'm so sorry."

Nos caressed his back and understood what he meant. "It is in the past." He answered and shuddered from the sensation. "And you never tried to kill me out of everyone so it was not you that did that. You," he moans when XR sucks on his sensitive nipples and bites it lightly. He bites a moan when he sees XR being sensual on his body. "You are the only one I was glad who was being a true good guy."

XR blushes hearing him say that and moves up and kisses him. "I love you Nos," he said between kisses and felt Nos wrap his arms around his neck. He smiles and moves his hands down to his pants but gasps when Nos licks his lips for entrance. He opens his mouth for him and moans when he feels his tongue slip in and begins exploring his mouth. It was hard to focus when Nos's tongue was curling around his own and he tasted oil and what he could guess was the sensation of static between their tongues. He feels sparks between their kisses and moans until he pulls away from their kiss to feel Nos's fangs were out.

"Do you want to keep going?" He asked dreamily and out of breath. 'I think I now understand Nos's hunger.' He never wanted anything so bad like now.

"Yes." Nos purrs with half lidded optics at XR.

XR didn't hesitate, dipped down back into kissing as he felt Nos undoes his buttoned shirt and pulls it down. He feels his shirt was tossed somewhere with Nos's shirt and was soon holding him on his lap as Nos was nuzzling against his shoulder and kissing it.

Nos pulled a bit away and was marveling at XR's body. "I have carved marble to sculpt into the ideal bodies of masculine and feminine." He touches and roams over his lover's body with hunger in his eyes. He felt embarrassed, remembering that view of XR when he shifted the first time. Back then he was embarrassed and yet internally admiring him. Now he can admire it even more. "I cannot stop admiring your body, I cannot get enough of you." Nos purrs away. "But I love your robotic form just as much, perhaps even more."

"You have a way with words." XR grins and pulls him back to him. "But my robotic body isn't really the sexiest form." XR can say it was cute, but not the best. 'What helped me more was my confidence and that only got me a short mile.'

"But I love it because it is you." Nos admired XR and if he had to choose which form, it was his robotic form. "It is also the best form to cuddle up to." Nos purrs away and kisses his chest. "Besides, I love whatever form you take, so long as it is you." and was kissing his way down.

XR blushes and watches Nos kiss his way down and blushes when he sees Nos was going that far. He stops him with a deep blush. "Keep going further and you're definitely gonna get me hot and bothered."

"What ifIwant to go further with you?" Nos looks at him with his optics glowing. "You have satisfied my hunger and given me love. I want to satisfy your hunger and show you my love." He has seen XR's hunger when they have kissed but the first time he had seen a strong desire, the hunger, was that day when they danced. The other times were the festival and when they spent together just like now. Yet despite XR being so caring to him, he can see he wants more. "You have desires, my love." He cups his face and traces his lips. "Even just with kissing, I want to make you feel good just as you have for me."

XR knew what Nos was saying but drinking energy and pleasuring were completely different! He would love to give in to pleasure and lust, but he loves Nos so much he was nervous! But he can tell Nos was not gonna back down or stop. "I trust you Nos, just promise me like you did for me. If you feel uncomfortable, you tell me to stop or stop in general." XR watches Nos nod and leans into his lips for a kiss. He kisses him back with utmost passion and sweet kisses.

Nos kisses his love and rather than rush down, he instead moves his hand to slip into his pants and feels XR's pride. He leans into XR as he touches and feels how thick he is and feels it twitch in his hand. He rubs and moves till he feels beneath the penis were the balls. He massages and hears XR groaning and moaning against him. He was very curious about how it looks and what to expect from his lover.

"Feels good… Please don't stop…." XR murmurs and moves a hand to Nos's arm to help maneuver and feels his hips jerk to his lover's hand.

Nos shudders to how enticing it was getting until he had a thought. "I have tasted your energy," he squeezes XR member's base, watching XR hissing and arching with excitement. "Your energy tastes very sweet like honey, the closest reference to taste. However," he licks his lips. "I wonder how you taste down here."

XR was a darker shade of gold as he watches Nos lower himself down and with his teeth unzips his zipper and pulls out his hand away but unbuttons his pants and pulls them down enough and sees his erection sprung alive in front of his boyfriend's face.

Nos was feeling his body shuddering at the sight of the member. It was thick and above the average size he recalls hearing but words failed to describe his lover's girth. The shade was gold and it was alluring him. "Quite a hefty gold member~" Nos grins. "Was this part of you before?"

"I didn't have it before." XR felt his body getting shocked and felt an ache just from watching Nos lick the head like it was a lollipop. "You could say this was an added accessory along with the height." XR watches Nos lean forward and kisses the tip, making him hum in delight until Nos kisses around the phallus and then licks around the girth with his long tongue wrapping around it. He recalled Nos's serpent-like tongue a few times in the past and how far it can extend out. He can remember the times it scared him but right now, he couldn't say how bad he wants that tongue to wrap around him. He lies back and lays against one elbow just so he can see. 'I'm so glad I got a full size bed charger.'

"Nos…." He moaned out and his body was feeling overheated and unexpectedly his hips buckled into Nos when he had his mouth on the tip. "Sorry! I-!" He stops and sees Nos smirks and is engulfing his member in his mouth. XR gasped and moaned out and watched Nos repeat this again in a slow and painful way that was hard not to thrust into his mouth.

"Are you trying to get me to- to thrust into your mouth?" He groans when Nos sucks him and bobbed his head a bit faster. 'This- it's so good.' He thought and tried to resist until he gave in and thrust into Nos's mouth softly. He felt a lot of conflicting thoughts about either giving in to his lustful desire or keeping his control to keep his thrusts to a gentle pace. But it was hard with Nos being so seductive! 'And the way he's looking from there is too good!' He nearly rams into his lover's mouth when Nos was moaning, vibrating around him. 'I'm gonna lose it!' He holds and caresses his Nos's head as he thrust a bit faster.

Nos sucks him vigorously, he could not help but enjoy making XR feel like this, making him get riled and now taking control. He did not mind, seeing his Mica iubire so riled up and enjoying himself. He stops and sees XR was groaning in need. 'I want to see more~!'

"Wh-why stop…?" XR groaned but saw Nos spark a bit. 'He's gonna shock me-' But he sees Nos release him and he yelps. "Please don't stop! I ne-need you- want you!" He whines out but blushes seeing Nos get up and take off his own pants.

'Please don't come on the spot.' He can feel his member pulsing painfully at the sight. "Are we going all the way…?" He blushes when he sees Nos's member slip out from the slit but unlike his member, his lover's penis was almost like a tentacle and the head of the tip is similar. All he could think was how much it fit Nos perfectly but he really admired his body. "I can do the same for you~" He reached for him but Nos shook his head as he took his hand.

Nos did not want to be pleasured like that just yet but he did want to do something special and he wanted this very much. "I want to finish you up in my own way," he got on the bed and arranged himself to lie back. "I am sure you can help me there." He can see XR was practically steaming up literally.

XR couldn't help but think of several ways but he did know one way was just as good. "You know what, I have a great way toprepareyou," XR moves a bit back, and lowers himself. "And this can be a little payback for stopping." XR smirks and feels his mouth salivating. Unlike actual organic saliva, XR's saliva was more like a lubricant that helps keep his body as a robot from scraping or dulling off his inner parts and gears. Luckily he has a new self maintenance now thanks to his boyfriend so that lubricant became more of an act of saliva.

And he gets to try it out now.

Nos was startled and arches against XR's face who was holding him down to the bed. He moans and feels the intrusion in what is considered the vaginal hole, being stretched out by his tongue. 'I think I miscalculated-!' He gasped when XR was caressing his member and felt it react to him by secreting something like lubricant. He lies back and submits to XR but his claws grip the sheets.

XR was having a blast! He was enjoying this a bit too much but when he felt Nos member was feeling a bit slippery in his hand, he needed to make sure he didn't lose his grip or make him come just yet. He even feels his inner walls convulsing around his tongue! He wanted to put his boyfriend over the edge so he extended his tongue a bit more till he moved it around to stretch him, looking for that spot. 'I know Nos worked on nerve sensors, so-!' He yelps when Nos moans out and feels Nos legs squeezed his head as he feels liquid rushed into his mouth. His mind was feeling clouded as he was holding onto Nos until his Nos let go.

He pulls his tongue out and sees Nos was still erected. "You came quite a lotbabe. And taste sweet too~." He grins and sees he himself was leaking a bit. "But I think we're ready to go." He grins.

Nos sits up and leans up for a kiss. "I am sorry about making you wait." He purrs when XR comes close and kisses him but feels XR licks and nips his bottom lip.

XR pulled away from the kiss and was practically on top. He reaches for a pillow and lays it under his boyfriend's hips. "Babe waiting is the best part; besides, I get to make you feel even better." He grins excitedly and aligns himself to Nos. However, he almost forgot he needed to lube himself. 'I forgot to buy lube too.' He sees Nos member and grins. He caresses it, getting enough and is lubing his member but groans when he feels it elicited a sensation. 'Note to self, Nos lubricant heats up.' He thought but grins. "Ready?" He asked a bit too eagerly.

"I am." Nos purrs and wraps his arms around him.

XR blushes and feels the tip against his lover's entrance and thrusts in as slow and gentle as he could. He groans, feeling how tight he is but feels bad how Nos was hissing in pain. He stops halfways in and sees Nos trying to calm himself. He couldn't help but love being inside Nos, it felt beyond amazing! He felt he was made for him but he can feel Nos was gripping on him tightly as he was going in. He leans for a kiss and tries to help ease the pain. "I can wait for you, Nos."

Nos was feeling his system was reacting to the unexpected intrusion. He felt pain from the penetration yet pleasure in ways he could not describe. He feels his insides squeezing XR each time he moves and how much he felt being split through at the same time. 'Thinking of the pain reminds me of the times I was struck through the chest.' He thought about how painful it was when he struck through the chest. It was the only few times he felt true pain.

However, this pain was not to end him or destroy him, it was forming a new bond with his XR. Just as he was trying to not show it was too much.

He got nervous when his mate stopped and he was worried if XR was going to stop. However it was not the reason when his mate kissed him instead and felt his resistance to move but the member was twitching and pulsing inside of him. The kiss made it easier to focus and calmed his system and dissolved the pain. He feels pleasure now and can feel his core pulsing now. "Keep going," He hitch his breath and pulled XR back into the kiss and felt his love thrust into him further. He has not ever felt this good in such a way that makes him want more.

XR groans in their kiss and pulls back, how badly he wants to make a move yet his need to make sure Nos wasn't uncomfortable or hurt was his priority. He did his research but that couldn't prepare him for the experience right now. "I'm going to start, if you feel any uncomfortable pain, tell me."

Nos optics glowed and nodded, trying to embrace the impact of when XR will move. "I trust you." He purr and nuzzles against his neck. "I love you, Mica mea iubire."

XR smiles and pulls back his hip, leaving just the tip in. "And I love you, my moon." XR thrusts into him all the way and feels Nos arch his back in, hearing him moaning into his ear. "That's my nickname to you," he kept thrusting as slow and gentle as he could into his mate and kept repeating. "That day, when you beat that creep, I was gonna to tell you my new nickname for you." He rolls his hips and holds him by the hips. "I wanted to tell you my feelings and how much you mean to me and in one way to describe," he feels Nos squeezing him a bit with each thrust. "Did you know no matter the planet, it needs a moon to keep it balanced?" He hears his Nos moaning into his ear, resisting to go faster. "You kept me balanced, as an enemy, as my friend, and now as my love."

"Ye-yessss-!" Nos moans from the shock of pleasure, the pain was diminishing and he was craving for his lover. "B-but the moon-mmm~!" Nos clings to XR, he was feeling XR was getting a bit rough but went back to being gentle.

XR groans against his neck. "The moon goes through phases and it's not always the same." He sucks and nips his neck. He feels like he needs to keep Nos with him "You Nosy, have gone through your own phases~" He keeps their bodies so close as his hips are going on auto now. "You've been through a lot~! You changed so much! No matter how many changes, You're still my Nos…!" He pepper kissed his neck to his shoulder.

Nos feels his core vibrate more and pulls XR into a deep kiss. He cannot help but feel exhilarated at how much XR expresses to him. He pulls a bit away to look at him just as he feels XR was increasing his thrusts. "Th- then you are my guiding, blazing star…!" He moans out. "Every time, in my path! I want to keep seeing your shining light…!" He was close to screaming when XR hits the spot now. His legs wrap around him to keep him from pulling out. "Again! Please, I want more~!" Nos digs his claws into him.

XR hisses at his lover's insides squeezing him now to the point he was getting rough. "Y-you're squeezing me now~!" He gasps out and he's getting rough now to make his moon come with him. He feels his chest panel open up and watches Nos's own slowly opening too; only his wires were protruding and slipping in his moon. He lifts his Nos up and onto his lap, and holds him to the point he was pistoning his thrusts faster. "Bite me!" XR moans out, "mark me as yours..!" He holdshim down feeling ready to hit hard in one thrust.

Nos feels so close but was startled by his lover's order, instincts were now screaming to mark him. He moans against his neck, sinks his fangs deep into XR's neck and suddenly feels his chest sparking and XR's wires overdrive him that he came against their body. Just when he feels overloaded, he blacked out.

XR moans out and comes inside his energy vampire, his lover's inner walls keeping him from thrusting and his fangs in his neck made him see stars. But above all, their cores were now connected and encryption of a bond between them. He feels his hips thrusting until he can't and groans. "I love you Nos." He mumbles but doesn't get a reply and notices he hasn't budged or moved. He carefully pulls away and flinches from the fangs out of his neck but he doesn't care when he sees Nos was out like a light. "Nos? Babe?! Wake up!" He was getting anxious but saw Nos coming back and he was feeling relieved and held him in his arms. "Are you alright? I am so sorry that happened." He had a wild guess connecting to him overloaded Nos.

"Do not be, I was not expecting that." Nos was feeling the pleasure receding and was now feeling only sore from their love session. 'I do not regret it.' But what was shocking was the sight of the wires again only this time it was XR's wires in his chest.

Another intriguing discovery.

"I did enjoy all of it." He smiles and purrs happily against him. "Though I am curious what this means." He taps on the wires, making XR shudder.

"Mind if we don't touch that one?" XR asked, it was making him feel weirdly good and it was messing with his arousal.

"Is it uncomfortable?" Nos asked.

"No but I like to not pounce on you,justyet." XR would like to but he just had Nos passed out, he didn't want that to happen again or worse.

Nos however could not help but blush a bit. "Perhaps later?" He could see the excitement in XR's optics and he could not help but like it. He caresses the wires and plays with the thicker ones. "If you want we can go another round, Mica mea iubire." He grins seeing XR was getting riled up.

"You love doing that," XR was getting hard again at the wire play, only Nos was really good at finding the wires to hit perfectly. He was a blushing mess when Nos laid him back and already had slipped his member back inside of him. He saw his lover's member lively again but he couldn't help but admire how good Nos looks on top of him like this. "You know moon, I really like it when you're seductive~" XR grins mischievously and bucks his hips but moans when Nos zaps the wires and plays with them.

"Now now,sweet love," Nos purrs away and rolls his hips a certain way before lifting himself and slamming himself into XR and hisses from the shocks of pleasure.

"Did you hurt yourself?!" XR sat up worried but noticed he was not showing any signs of discomfort. Still, XR was attentive to the details if Nos wasn't feeling good. "Is there anything I can do?" He blushes when Nos lifts himself up and slams himself roughly.

"What I want for you is to enjoy yourself." Nos sets a pace and smirks at a devious thought and extends his tongue out and curls it around the big cord and moans out when XR's hips thrusts into his. He was feeling in a state of pleasure, his core feeling beyond words that could not describe it but to be in sync with XR is another way to describe.

XR was feeling and thinking the same thing as he was bucking his hips to Nos. His body was getting overheated but it was mainly those wires from him connected to Nos. His mind was muddled in pleasure but a thought popped in that made him feel embarrassed.

[I want to be a Family together]

XR was startled when Nos stopped. "You probably heard that." He sat up and Nos arch against him from the new position.

Nos hugs him tightly. "I did, and I would like that. But when you are ready to…" He couldn't say it yet but he couldn't look at the growing smile that was making him feel shy.

"To marry you? Why babe~" XR lies to him back and kisses him with immense passion. When he pulls away, he slams himself into his Nos with much more vigor than before laying Nos back into the bed. "That's the plan." He was showing Nos what he wanted as he felt his moon was tightening again as he was going faster and deeper in him. "I want to be with you baby~! I want to make you mine~!" He gets erratic with his thrust and hears Nos moaning out his name, clawing his back and his legs holding him close to the point he was struggling to thrust in his moon. "I know I sound possessive," he pants as he feels the shocks of pleasure in the wires and coming close. "But I want you Nos all to myself! I love you!" He moans out and kisses him just as he came but keeps thrusting.

Nos came when he was overwhelmed from the pleasure and feeling his dick shoot what looks like reddish translucent substance between them for the 2nd time. Nos lies back and blushes from coming from both parts as he feels XR thrusts were slowing down but not stopping. He moans through the kiss and groans when the wires finally disconnected and went back to XR.

"I could go another round if you're up to it?" XR pants and hugs him tightly.

"Afterwards, I am certain our daughter and my tata are wondering where we are." Nos pants away, feeling his pleasure high dulling now and feels embarrassed when he says it out loud.

XR was slowing down and laid himself on top but realized Nosfer was going to skin him. 'He's gonna know I fucked his son.' "Nosy, can you protect me from your pops? He might kill me when he finds out about this." XR murmurs but blushes when Nos holds him. He melts into his arms and clings to him.

"I will protect you, Mica mea iubire." Nos purrs.

After getting cleaned up and dressed up, Nos and XR talked on the way back about the experience they had together…. Well more like Nos being carried by XR being sore and having a hard time standing. "Maybe we should be careful and try not to overdo it next time?" XR can tell Nos was not so happy with his predicament, but greedily he is. 'Seeing Nos getting angry is pretty cute too.'

"I do not regret it, especially when I was the one who encouraged it." Nos grumbles as he feels annoyed he could not move much yet. His system was still being repaired and thanks to XR for sharing his programs, he was able to self repair. In fact he was able to heal without the nanites emergency kit and he was able to adjust better to damages. But the only problem he has is just how sore his hips feel. "Besides I did enjoy it XR." Nos purrs happily, nuzzling to him.

XR could feel his face burning up. "We could go again but I think we should understand the core first. It's weird how they function and could do more harm than good." He likes the bonding session but it was frightening to see Nos knocked out like that.

"I cannot say I disagree." Nos crosses his arms. "It is still a curious and interesting core we have," he was relaxing in his arms. "The uni-minds we have are different yet similar to each other. If the uni-mind I have can keep the antimatter controlled, what else can there be? What are other things we should be concerned about."

XR then thought of the flowers and frowned and stopped in his tracks. "There's something I need to show you first but don't get mad." He flies out to the spot. It didn't take long but they made it and XR helped Nos see there were many orchids but the tree was thriving.

Nos feeling he can walk, limps a bit but looks around the area. "This was where we fought DRAC." Nos was surprised and looked at the flowers and recalled XR memories. "You did not tell Ozma about this."

"I know I should've, but I didn't want to see what was from you destroyed. Are you mad?" XR frowns

Nos would have been mad but XR was sweet to keep this safe. "I should be mad but I am partially glad you did not." He carefully kneels. He scans the flowers but sees no toxicity or poisons in them. "I kept thinking Antimatter is a monstrosity, nothing good comes from it after seeing it first hand. And the missing memory Ryder will not tell me. However, I see there is something from it that is good that it brings life. It gives me hope that I can make good from antimatter. We should however keep watch, this is still possibly dangerous." Nos gets up and shudders from the sparks shooting up from the back.

"Are you sure you're able to walk?" XR can tell Nos was struggling.

"I think I can-!" Nos felt a streak hit through his back and XR caught him. "... Please carry me…."

"Always." XR grins and carries him like a bride. He makes his way to Atu's residence with Nos in his arms. Despite it being a long walk, he likes that he was carrying Nos. "I was thinking since I'm on report duty, we can have more time to go out together."

"I would like that." Nos replies, holding onto him. "There are no major missions right now so it is not too busy. There is even some time to see your brother too."

"You sure you're up to seeing him?" XR was a bit skeptical about it now. He didn't want Nos to kill his brother or his brother to annoy his boyfriend.

"Better sooner than later." Nos replies and sees they were just up the walkway and sees Vanet and Nosfer gardening around sunset. He smiles to see Vanet light up and runs to them.

"Papa!viitor tata!" Vanet ran to them. "Where were you?! Bunicul and I were getting worried." She was a little mad and scolded them.

"Sorry sparks, just some problems at work but your papa helped me out." XR lets Nos down and watches Nos kneel down and hugs Vanet. He couldn't help but like this alot, but the intrusive thought of losing them hit hard in his core. He was startled when Vanet reached her hand to him to join in the hug. He didn't hesitate and kneels down to hug them both.

"I'm just happy you're both home." Vanet smiles.

"Us too, little bat." Nos answers before getting up with his daughter in his arms and walks to their home with XR by his side.

"Hey sparks, how long till you go back to school?" XR was curious.

"A week." She answers.

"A week?! Better plan something for the week so you can tell your class you had a great vacation."

"What about your missions?" Vanet asked. "I know it's an important job to protect people."

"Sparks, you are important to me and so is your papa." XR can see the worry in her eyes. "Hey, I know it's important to protect people, but the thing is I want to be there for you and your papa and your grandfather. Being a space ranger is a cool job, but not as cool as being a dad." He grins. "And besides I'm on report duty so I'm more at home for a few weeks." XR added. "Plus I don't want to miss your first day of school so it's very important for me." He saw in Nos's memories of her first day of school and how he felt when it was her first day. But it was more than that. 'I want to make as many memories with them both as I can.' He has so much hope for Nos and he knows just how much Vanet means to him.

"Will you stay over tonight?" Vanet asked XR.

XR couldn't help but smile. "I can sleep on the couch-"

"We can make a pillow fort!" Vanet smiles enthusiastically, having both of her father figures together made her happy.

"We can even watch a movie together." XR grins and carries her when Nos passes her to him but goes to wipe the dirt off her cheeks.

"Perhaps in the morning we can walk around town together." Nos thought it would be a good time to buy her new uniforms to wear.

Nosfer watched them and smiled until he noticed the limp in Nos's steps and the small details he knew he couldn't ask with Vanet around. One thing for sure, he was going to have a talk with XR.

3 hours later.

XR covers Nos and Vanet who were asleep together and he couldn't help but take a picture. It was peaceful for him to have this kind of normality that makes him really feel alive. He sits on the floor at the feet of the couch and feels relaxed. He smiled thinking this would be nice to do together. 'I want to keep doing this.' He was feeling at ease till he felt the temperature of the room went cold.

"XR, a word please." Nosfer spoke.

XR felt literal shivers and held whatever bravery he had and went to the older man who led him outside. He was extremely nervous and he can already tell Nosfer knows what they did. 'And he catches me when Nos is asleep.' He sees Nosfer stop a good yard away from the house.

Nosfer, not looking at him, kept a stern yet calm face. "You and my fiu-"

"I'm gonna be straight with you, we did and I am sorry if I broke your trust!" XR jumbled his words so badly he had a hard time speaking right after.

"XR," Nosfer spoke but could see XR was trying to explain himself terribly. 'What does my son see in him?'

"As you know I'm in love with Nos and I'll accept any punishment but please don't keep me from Nos!" XR was begging now. "If you want me to wait, I will!"

"XR, I am not entirely mad." Nosfer was lying, he wanted to tear XR apart but his son loves him so he would bear with it. "I am relieved you are honest with me and saves me time in asking Nos. Nevertheless, now that you crossed that line, I need to know how serious you are with my son." Nosfer stern looked down to the shaking XR.

XR was shaking in fear, in fact if he had a nickel for every monster that terrified him, he'd have 15 cents. "I love Nos to the point I'd marry him on the spot- But! But, I know Nos isn't ready for that step and I also know with my ex around, she might make him opt out of marrying me."

"Would you put him and Vanet first before your job?" Nosfer asked and he saw there was no hesitation.

XR held the pendant to his chest. "I put Nos and Vanet first before Star Command. I um… I found out DRAC had help on that day." He knew he had to tell Nosfer about this, especially when it concerned Nos and Vanet. "Commander Nebula, he made the clearance to have no Space Rangers around the city that day. It was pre planned and the commander- my own pops, was helpingHimthis whole time."

Nosfer frowns, "You know what this means XR? By you defending Nos is turning your back against star command. This can brand you a traitor, losing your reputation with it."

XR walked up and changed to his robotic form. "I can't just stand by and ignore what's happening and I can't stay there any longer. I don't want to lose Vanet or Nos." He looked up to the sky, rethinking the argument earlier and already felt sad. "I just hope things end well."

"I do as well." Nosfer spoke softly, looking up to the stars and sighing, "I wish Nos did not have to have so many problems."

XR frowns a bit before smiling, "I think he can handle it because he got us but mostly because he learned from the best. So no matter what, I know he can tackle any challenges."

Nosfer chuckles. "Thank you, XR. We better go back inside." He pats on XR's back and walks away leaving XR surprised but elated to know he wasn't going to be ripped to pieces. "Also If you hurt Nos, I will rip you into pieces." That made XR tense up and scared before following the older man back home.

'I should start staying by Nos now.' XR changes to his organic self and hurries up to Nosfer's side. When they came back they saw Nos and Vanet still asleep. Nosfer picks up Vanet and XR picks up and carries Nos to his room and brings him to his coffin. Lying him down, he takes off the shoes and goes to stand up but senses Nos awake. "You're up, any good dreams?" He smiles but kneels down.

"Can you join me?" Nos asks him.

XR smiles and joins him. "For you gorgeous, always." He shifted a bit so he wasn't crushing him. He is now laying on top. "Am I crushing you?" He feels Nos wrap his arms around his waist and hears him purring. He feels his core vibrate and closes his eyes and listens to Nos's core as he can feel it vibrate. "Goodnight, my moon." He closes his eyes and falls asleep.

It was hours since XR left and no word since and all Buzz could do was get anxious by the hour counting. He was worried he pushed his friend too far and he felt utter fear of pushing his friend into the arms of the enemy. 'More like an enemy/rival but I don't even know if this Agent even notices.' He didn't get to talk to the agent that time on the mission (referring to ch. 14) and it didn't help XR stayed by his side. What was confusing was that in this situation, it doesn't make sense!

'Everything about this man, his past, his home, how he joined, it feels like nothing is adding up. What am I missing?'

Before he could even ponder, he goes to see commander Nebula but stops when he sees him coming. Seeing his commander was more tense than before means he was not doing great after the argument with XR. There was something he was not understanding about XR provoking questions but he understood the situation better than XR. 'That day I recall there were many space rangers needed for the protection of a planet invasion. 'Yeah it was boring but at the end of the day we saved more lives that day.' He thought but he couldn't help but remember XR's reaction, the look of distraught he had but shook it off. 'I trust Commander Nebula, I have known him longer than XR. I just need to find what Nosferatu is hiding, I know he's hiding something!'

"Commander, are you feeling better?" Buzz walks up to him.

"I'm fine, just trying to roll my head around the fact XR denied a command." Nebula walks with Buzz down the hall to the training ground. "I should have rejected him from having the uni-mind core."

"Commander," Buzz watches the new recruits train and recalls his days but dismisses them. "I disagree, it has been helping XR way more than before. And the fact we are showing that good will win for the future."

"But I want them all to see that the future is safe with you Buzz." Nebula can see that the future is not only safe in the hands of Buzz, but for the new generations of space rangers. He did not like the agents of the galactic alliance, considering the fact the top agent is a robot! But now that there is a new agent, a rookie, Petrica's version of Buzz was pissing him off. They had agreed star command was to become the only line of defense and the only reason they agreed was because of Zurg. 'But now she's pushing a challenge to me by leading her rookie to fight Zurg!' He knows if that agent wins, Star Command will be under the GAF organization again!

"- I know you're going to disagree, Commander, but I need to find more information about Nosferatu Atu and I think if you get me in the case, I can find out more." Buzz was hoping Commander Nebula would understand.

Commander perked. "What case?" He wasn't up to date with several things coming up.

"Mr. Atu has an adopted daughter I think is being used as an affront or he's using her to hide his identity- in fact he was a criminal-"

"Lightyear,"

Buzz stood firm.

"You're going to be in the case. Try to get anything important and report it to me." Nebula stated. "Do what you need to do to find out whether this agent is doing right or he's up to no good."

Buzz smiles with confidence. "I won't let you down." Buzz saluted.

"I know you won't. So what do you know so far?" Nebula was wondering now.

"This new agent is supposedly a distant uncle to this child, Vanet Helsing-"

"Lightyear, this is a personal mission now. This does not come out to anyone." Nebula stated. "Make sure you find outeverything."

Buzz stood more firm, relief to know even the commander can see there is something off and salute to his superior. "Understood commander, I won't let you down." Buzz stated.

Nebula grins, "I have full trust in you Lightyear. I better go and hide away from that desk." He can hear the said assistant coming and hurries off.

Buzz leaves to get more information but he felt there was something he needed to figure out with XR. Why is XR so determined to help the agent? 'And why's the argument bothering me?' He felt the tension between XR and Nebula was strong and yet off. He shook it off. "The commander is whom he should trust."

Nebula hurries before he goes a different path and enters in the secret elevator that leads to his designated place. He stands by and his confident grin changes to an indifferent look. When it reaches the place, he steps out and sees the true commander of Star commander.

"What is it you found this time, Zeb." DRAC glares at the latest so called tech Star command and Zurg brought to him that his body was adequate but not to his taste. 'If only I had Nos-4-a2.' He growls, the last memory was that garbage disposal carrying Nos away.

Nebula kept firm, he was subjected to work for him ever since he began his career as a Space Ranger. He clears his throat. "Lightyear is going to get all he can of her hidden location. Why is this child so important to you? She is practically useless."

DRAC merely smirks. "Zeb, you know as much as I do, Helsings are a general threat, two years ago Vax Van Helsing was at the top as a secret agent. You told me about him and we were able to destroy him. Now there is a new agent that threatens your Star Command and that monster hunter's daughter is under his wings. Imagine what she will become, where your hero will lose his shining light." He was just pulling his strings, he wanted to find her to find Nos and his little home. 'I will find him and his special lab.' He smirks down and gets up. "What is the status of that little tin bot?"

"He is residing in a different part of the planet, seems far from where the last fight you had." Zeb spoke. "Unfortunately he deleted his data from the main frame and I have other news, regarding the core you requested. Unfortunately it is impossible based on the results you gave. I just don't understand why it won't work."

DRAC growls annoyed at the results but merely smirks. "Things take time and I have all the time in the world." He looks out to the planet and plans for the new attempt to revert Nos-4-a2 back to himself. 'He and I will rule over many galaxies. And he will forget that little tin bot.' He smirks down.
