✧【 Quiet upset is replaced with visible surprise, yet, all that shift is his gaze. From avoidance, from avoiding the red devil entirely, to just . . . meeting his gaze in a hesitant sense. 】

. . .

I best not be.
 
[ encourage his feelings to come out on display any other moment ; not without meeting that harshness and evident hurt under his layers.

he gazes for what feels like an eternity. ]

. . . You will not be alone.

[ its uncharacteristically softer spoken. willed to be. wanting to be. ]
November 22, 2025 at 5:21 PM
 
✧【 A glimpse his way, brows furrowed, expressions an evident and turbulent mix. A small comment uttered as the last piece is placed, a quiet, 】

. . . Don't look at me like that.

✧【 Worry, mistaken for pity. 】
 
I'm not dying. You can do it later.

[ it's not like pain was evident for the aged reploid. small enough to be ignored, at least enough for him to sit up.

harsh as his command was, there was a new, undistinguished expression painting his face —

. . . worry? ]
 
✧【 It's . . . half - hearted, it always was when the harpy hadn't wanted to react. Yet, following orders is what he knew best ; at least, despite hesitant efforts, he tried his best. 】

MIDAS✧

How does he look exactly like this with brown eyes
November 21, 2025 at 5:22 AM
 
You need to be fixed —

✧【 A protest uttered to try and keep distance, yet, still, there was that feigned strength at play ; any other instance, he could be strong, he would be fierce. Yet, here the sage was, crumbling under the pressure. 】
 
[ to hell with repairs now. there was more he needed to confront. ]

MIDAS✧

This is so funny 2 me
November 21, 2025 at 4:08 AM
 
Shut . . . up.

✧【 There it is, his defensiveness clear — but it lacks that tone of his : that hostility present when amongst the other Guardians, that look of disgust almost etched upon his face, no. This was . . . half - hearted, quiet, as if he'd try to keep running from the unknown. 】
 
[ speaks calmly ; as if the dull feelings from before hadn't existed to waver him at all. ]

You've been through too much to abandon.

. . .

We've watched each other's backs for too long to turn hatefully. You know that too, don't you?

[ he hopes. he hopes so. ]
November 21, 2025 at 4:07 AM
 
✧【 Tense. Visibly so ; hand is tempted to pull back, to rip away from any semblance of closeness, to shield himself from the risk of being hurt. 】

✧【 𝘋𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘮𝘦. 】

Zero — you need to lie down. I'm far from finished with your repairs.

✧【 It's spoken stiffly. 】
 
[ hand raises — weakly, stiffly, but it brushes fingers along the other's wrist, reaching for the touch. ]

. . . You've an unfair deal in a life that promises dysfunctionality. I shouldn't have . . . asked that of you.

[ is that guilt present? ]
November 21, 2025 at 3:01 AM
 
I want you completely gone, but unfortunately not even death would be satisfying enough.

Now, where were we ?

Further.

HELP ?????

⠀/ /⠀i just started wheezing why did he say this

ㅤㅤmommy? sorry. mommy? sorry. mommy? sorry. mommy? sorry. mommy? sorry. mommy? sorry. mommy? sorry. mommy? sorry. mommy? sorry.
November 20, 2025 at 11:33 PM
 
Stay away from me.
 
[ meeting his gaze deadset. ]

I said what I have said.
 
✧【 Staring in absolute disgust. 】
 
November 20, 2025 at 11:32 PM
 
✧【 A long stint of quiet. Gaze is averted at the thought, if his emotions weren't apparent enough as is — wings upon his helm shift downwards, reflecting the depths of his . . . complex feelings. The thought of doing this, of doing everything alone ; his . . . core sunk. 】
 
Knowing we could both be killed for our treasons. Defying our roles in this world.

. . .

But every time. You come back.

[ ` you save me. ` he bites back that frustrating truth behind his tongue. ]

. . . If it won't be me who saves this world, it would be you.
November 20, 2025 at 11:31 PM
 
✧【 Staring in absolute disgust. 】
 
[ remembers when Harpuia called him a disgusting Maverick and looks on with yearning in his dull gaze ] I wish he talked dirty to me.
November 20, 2025 at 11:15 PM
 
✧【 Expressions are aloof, almost as cold as his own — but it lacked that . . . familiar annoyance, the urge to bite his tongue with endless bickering. Instead, they shut, a sigh. 】

. . . This base has various machines left over from Neo Arcadia, yet the extents and capabilities
[ not once does he take into account what can happen if he goes too far. ]

Tried what I'm able.

This is the repayment.

Fate isn't a fair game. And wherever I go, that's the price I've been accepting since I came here.
November 20, 2025 at 10:55 PM
 
. . .

You should already know why.

✧【 He pauses amidst the repair, green gaze shifting. Mechanical it was, the way irises adjusted ; depths shift as if lenses, a moment spent squinting at Zero. Not in malice, but to . . . see him. Hues go from far too vibrant greens, to familiar emeralds.
[ yet,

here he was,

tending to a Maverick.

it almost makes him smile. yet, his face remains still. a heart so evident, recollection flooding a surge — as if Harpuia touched something in him. ]

You would've said yes regardless.
November 20, 2025 at 6:17 PM
 
✧【 Lost in thought, yet ever focused, diligent ; expressions shift subtly, brows furrowing, eyes narrowing — not in hate, but evident concern. He wore his heart on his sleeve, at least, in moments more calm, more intimate. Tools get to work, repairs cautious, hawk - eyed gaze taking note of
 
[ be somewhat gentle to him.

gaze fixes to Harpuia's face, watching his change in expression. curious, maybe? or . . . nostalgic?

it's happened before, after all. and somehow, it was usually him putting him back together. ]
November 20, 2025 at 9:55 AM
 
. . . . . .

You're just mad you can't argue back.
 
November 20, 2025 at 9:34 AM
 
So be it.

✧【 He was not known for being gentle, every touch felt was a lash from the ferocity of a hardened warrior. Yet, it differs this instance ; hands cautious, almost too much so — trying to prevent further harm as armor is removed. It's slow, but methodical . . . how odd of him. 】
 
[ when he's turned away, Zero finds himself wincing for just a moment. receptors shoot pain throughout his body, and he tries his hardest to ignore it.

he goes still once Harpuia returns, his eyes stuck to the ceiling. ]

. . . That's fine.
 
✧【 Oblivious to that distrust — or was it conscious ignorance ? Keep things as calm as possible, keep the unsteady truce just that ; the sage returns with supplies now, his expressions equally as dull. 】

Your damage is extensive from looks alone — may I remove your armor to investigate
 
November 20, 2025 at 9:33 AM
 
Make me.
 
[ a flash of indignation flares in his eyes. ]

. . . Shut up.
 
Cat got your tongue ?

✧【 A hand on his head, taunting the size difference, 】

. . . Funny, truly. I like this, you being silent.
 
November 20, 2025 at 9:29 AM

[ Zero complies. he sits on the table, scooting himself slowly first, then with one final look, lays back. ]
November 20, 2025 at 9:18 AM
 
Cat got your tongue ?

✧【 A hand on his head, taunting the size difference, 】

. . . Funny, truly. I like this, you being silent.
 
[ nothing to say. he just continues to glare, looking like that angry cat with all forehead. ]
 
Your glare tells me more than you'd ever say, in fact, you've never stared at me with such hatred.
 
November 20, 2025 at 9:11 AM
​ ✧【 Towards peivate quarters they enter, a long abandoned base one used by Neo Arcadia — now claimed in secrecy by him. Head turns back for a moment, gaze impossinle to decipher ; he speaks bluntly, 】

On the table. Now.

 
[ no wavering, even as his body seems like it could fall apart with one wrong twist. he doesn't say anything more, body language all the more quietly agreeing.

now he trails behind Harpuia. all the more aware he wouldn't be turn here now ; he knows the general didn't go against his word. ]
 
✧【 A low snort. An evident frustration, but glare is swiftly broken with a glance to injuries. He evidently grimaces. 】

Let's fix that.
 
November 20, 2025 at 9:10 AM
 
Your glare tells me more than you'd ever say, in fact, you've never stared at me with such hatred.
 
. . . . . . . . .

Says more about you to suggest it. Not at all what I was implying.
 
So I can look down upon you as I rest ?

I thought you looking up to me to meet my gaze was humiliating enough. I didn't take you to be into that, Zero.
 
November 20, 2025 at 9:02 AM
 
✧【 A low snort. An evident frustration, but glare is swiftly broken with a glance to injuries. He evidently grimaces. 】

Let's fix that.
 
Right. By fair means.

[ his glare is returned with the mildest raise of his neutral expression. ]
 
Don't get cocky. I only wish you good health to end you myself.

✧【 A glare. Cold, blunt, but still, the sage leads. 】
