Welp, about time I started writing, I'm just so hard pressed for time. I guess we'll see where this goes...
This is a 3(male) x 8(female) story, other ships and characters will be mentioned but not made a main focus. Thanks have a great day.
3 suggested we take a walk so we can just process everything we learned about one another, which I sorely needed. I was so conflicted, I knew what happened to 3 was worse than what happened to me, and so I wanted to comfort him. But he always seemed perfectly fine, and always ended up comforting me in the end, or causing that warm fuzzy feeling. I need to know what it means I thought. I tugged at his sleeve. He stopped and looked at me. "Huh? 8, is something wrong?" He asked, showing emotion. He only does that around me... I noticed. [Can you take me to Pearl and Marina's place? I want to spend time with them.] A strange expression crossed his face, but it was gone in an instant, making me wonder if it was there. "Yeah sure, I'll walk you there." He replied. We walked in a different direction, just being near him gave me that feeling. I need to know! I thought furiously. We eventually arrived at the front gate to Pygmy Mansion. He handed me a pink, octopus shaped device. A phone, I realized, he's giving one to me, but aren't they really expensive? "I figured you might want one of these, and I'm sure Marina can help you set it up. My number's already in there, so just call when you want me to pick you up." He told me
3 POV
If you want to come back, I finished in my head. But after you've seen what I've done, why would you? I made sure she made it safely to the door, where she was recieved with a hug for Marina. 8 looked back one last time, and gave a small wave. I raised my hand, telling her goodbye, hopefully not for the last time. Who am I kidding, she won't come back. I started walking home, on my way I heard a noise. Cautiously advancing down the alley, I drew my combat knife, only for someone to rush me.
8 POV
Marina hugged me and told me to come in Pearl behind her, celebrating. Before I did, I turned back, 3 was still standing there, watching. He wanted to make sure I was recieved here safely. I thought. That same strange feeling filled my chest again, that strange warm and fuzzy feeling. I shook my head and walked through the door.

I was sitting on the couch, and Marina handed me a cup of tea. Yummy. I thought, but not as good as 3's "So 8, what's it like living with 3?" Marina asked. I only trusted 3 to support me, so I didn't want to speak, but neither Pearl or Marina knew OSL. So I was in a jam. "Oh, hang in there 8, lemme get something for you to write on." Pearl said. I smiled at her kindness, she might be a little rough around the edges, or act tough, but she was a really kind person. "Here you go 8." Pearl said, handing me a small white board, a cloth, and a marker. [Thank you] I wrote, then I erased, and wrote [As for 3, he's been so understanding and kind to me, and he's taught me so many things about life up here.] "3? He was... kind?" Marina said, clearly not believing me. "3? Kind? Now that's something I gotta see!" Pearl said [Why wouldn't he be?] I wrote, confused. "Well 8, 3 just, doesn't seem like the best person." Marina said. You're right, he's not, but if you went through that, wouldn't you be the same? Or even worse? I thought. [Either way, I wanted to ask you something.] I wrote. "What would that be 8?" Pearl asked, [There's someone I met not too long ago, and every time I'm around him I feel strange. And I want to know what it means] I wrote, "What does it feel like?" Marina asked, concerned. [A warm and fuzzy feeling in my chest.] Pearl squealed. "Oh my COD!" I tilted my head [What does it mean?] "8... it means you're in love." Marina said. [WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??!!] I wrote. "It means you want to have a romantic relationship with someone" Marina continued. [I still don't get it.] "Just read this." Pearl said tossing me a book called Love... What Is It? "There better not be anything in that book Pearl." Marina warned "Don't worry, it's a basic theory, that stuff is somewhere else." Pearl replied. I finished the theory, and I knew I needed to tell him how I felt but immediately felt doubts What if he doesn't like me back...
3 POV
I hugged back, dropping the knife "How the hell you doin' man?" The man asked. "Doin' just fine, just fine. How the boys?" I replied "All good, we all good." "Great. It's good to see you again X." "Great seeing you too man." X replied. "Tell the boys hi for me!" I walked out the alley heading back to the building. "JARVIS, hows the prep going?" "Everything will be ready by the time the world is uninhabitable and we need to be gone, or at least, a few days before, sir." The A.I. replied "Good, this planet won't last forever." Then my phone went off. 8 wanted to be picked up. I told her I was on my way and instructed JARVIS to take me to the garage. I grabbed my keys and headed over to the car.

This is his road car, the color doesn't matter for this one.
I drove off, headed for the mansion. I fiddled with the radio a bit looking for some driving music.
Play the song. Or don't I don't care.
I drove only about 5 mph over the speed limit, and not very recklessly as to make sure I didn't initiate a pursuit on my normal car. I'm surprised she wants to come back. I thought. Especially after she's seen all I've done.
8 POV
I was waiting by the gate, still with Marina and Pearl. "Wonder what kind of car he has?" Marina asked. He won't be showing up in his street racing car because then I'd be in danger. He said so himself. I thought. "It's probably edgy." Pearl replied. Then we heard the engine. He pulled up got out, and held the passenger door open. Needless to say Marina and Pearl's mouths hit the floor. I walked through the gate and waved bye before getting in. 3 closed the door, got in, and drove away. "Anything interesting happen?" 3 asked me. I shook my head. "You know we're alone, if you want to rant about what's troubling you, you know I'll support you, right?" He said. The feeling returned in force, flooding me. Cod I really love him don't I. I though before replying. "I know." I said, my voice softer than normal. "If you don't want to talk, just know I'm here for you." He responded. He's so caring, but is this because he loves me? Or is this just how he is?. I thought. "Ok." I said. We pulled into the garage and headed up to his apartment. "It's late, we should go to bed." 3 said, "night 8." He said. Before his door closed I called out. "Wait 3!" "Hm? Is something wrong?" "T-thank you. F-for everything." He just smiled and closed the door. The feeling wasn't going away, I wanted to tell him, I had to tell him. But I didn't know how. I just got and bed and closed my eyes.
Whassup! Sorry for the wait, but first semester's finally over and so I had a little breathing room to finish this, hopefully I'll have another out much sooner. As always, if I made any errors, let me know. Please provide feedback, it helps me grow. Later gamers!!
