The Six Sectors

Chapter Forty-Seven - Kaine

All my family members have found love save for me.

I'm not complaining! They're all happy and stuff. I just know I'm gonna be forever alone. Well, okay, there's this one chick. Actually, they're not even a chick.

Their name's Kei. Kei Haze. They're a werewolf, and they're a mechanic for the Sapphire Owls. My only problem is that I suck ball bearings at romance. I may be pansexual, but I'm aromantic. Meaning, I am sexually attracted to every being of the rainbow - yet romantic stuff I don't feel. Which is a Pain. In. The. Butt. I'm serious! Try to be pan and aro in a day, have a crush on a beautiful nonbinary mass, and not be able to do romantic scrap to win them over. It blows! It really does. Doesn't help that on top of that I'm a hopeless romantic.

So my love life sucks.

Which is why I went to Aerizat for help.

Maybe.

Okay, yeah I went to Aeris instead. After all, he was married to a woman and had two kids, one of them actually being Hanity's. And I am not going to her, do you know how insane that woman is? Do you? I don't think you know how insane she truly is.

I don't think you truly do.

So anyways, I walk over to Aeris. I knew him from meetings so I knew how to interact with him. According to him being pan and sucking at everything in life is a way of life and not a hobby. Welp. I'm going to him anyways.

"YO! Aeris!" I call, waving my hand as his abomination of a baby (I have arachnophobia) and wife of terror hangout with him. No not on butt ropes, I would've been shrieking like a banshee at that point and be halfway to Pacifi.

The cervitaur turned to look at me with the most blank expression I have ever seen in my entire life. "What."

WHAT KIND OF HELLO IS THAT?!

How is this guy still alive if he's having a face as blank as a white sheet of paper and saying hello like an emo kid at a high school?!

I'm questioning life at this point, I have not idea what I'm fracking doing-

"I need relationship advice. I'm not going to my sister cause she's gonna make fun of me, I can't find Vize, Dr. Hanity is a straight-up no-no, and so you seemed like a sensible choice." I say, being my dysfunctional self because he knew that side of me.

"Beyond the fact that you're assuming I won't make fun of you, why exactly am I an optimal choice?"

"Don't you dare use big words on me-" Big confession time. I'm autistic. Plus I have ADHD.

So those 2 aren't a good combo.

I'm bad at socializing, I can't handle loud sounds, I can't look anyone in the eye, and so forth-

So imagine me trying to ask one of the most proper beings in the whole of the Six Sectors for relationship advice.

Yeah. Doesn't look pretty does it.

"Look, I just need some help. Doesn't matter why I came to you you just seemed like the right guy who wouldn't kill me. Cause we do have a murderous scientist here as well." Dr. Hanity wanted to help Wheatley cause his robotics was acting up.

"Yeah, killing you would make way too much paperwork and I might get banished." Did- did he just make a joke?

"Aeris, you need to work on your jokes-" Suddenly, I feel something sticky and thinking it's a web I scream like a little girl.

And it turns out to be a random string that drifted in.

Please kill me now.

"... As much as I don't like you, I actually like you, and I have nothing better to do," Aeris stated, ignoring what just happened.
