Rainbow Hearts

Chapter 1: The Pale Purple Prince

Living with the Zeti wasn't always easy. You had to clean after Zomom, and Zazz' messes, deal with Zik's hard training, listen to Zavok's endless threats, and handle Zeena's moodswings. There was one however who You didn't mind as much, that someone was Zor. He was mostly introverted soul, keeping to himself and reading in the library, sometimes he'd read some poems to you Out loud to try and mess with you, too bad for him you were powerful enough to withstand the most depressing of stories. They seemed rather interesting to you if you were being completely honest. This seemed to dishearten the poor little Zeti, but you assured him you wanted to hear more and maybe you'd "suffer silently against the powers of dark poems." This seemed to help, as it gave Zor some more energy to go on. To be honest you had grown fond of the small Zeti, he wasn't nearly as foul mouthed or aggressive as the others, he seemed chill enough to spend time with. You had even noticed some strangely placed roses here and there, where ever you were. You wondered whether Zor had simply forgotten them or if... No that couldn't be right... could it? Were they, meant for you? Perhaps? This made you feel kind of... happy? Sure he was one of your kidnappers but a sweet gesture like this was simply needed in your dull grey little world that now consisted Of being yelled at, watching out for random attacks, cleaning, and being an occasional punching back. You REALLY were living the good life huh? 

Sometimes you'd notice how Zor's hand was moving closer to yours, or how he'd nervously glance at you while reading, sighing just enough to be noticeable.. and so on. You had long since finished your own book "Zeti and War" when you decided to ask Zor about this odd behavior. ;"Hey.... Zor- Master Zor, um... how do I say this.. you've been acting kind of strange? More so than usual and I was wondering if there was something bothering you..?" You asked giving a weak smile to him. He stared at you for the longest of times until finally raising his voice enough to be heard: "I...I do have something bothering me. It's myself actually. I have been in a slump, absolutely defeated by this." He explained to you. ;"Yourself? How? You're not sick are you?!" You quickly tried his forehead for fever and looked for any signs of strange markings or moles on his body. ;"N-no I don't think I'm sick..." He quickly argued pulling away form you. "I think I've gone completely mad. Insane, definitely lost my mind." He said. You questioned this, he seemed the same to you, so, what did he mean by insane? Was it not his go to mood? "I've felt... HAPPY." He gagged. "Happy when you're around. Happy whenever I read the poems to you.. I have absolutely lost it!" He held his head. You could feel your face heat up. ;"And- Is that really so bad of a feeling?" You asked him curiously. ;"That's the problem!" He yelled. "It doesn't feel bad! It should feel awful to me. I hate being happy, yet.. I do not hate this feeling. And I HATE IT!" He banged his head to the table until you stopped him by placing your hand underneath his head. ;"W-well to be honest.. I don't hate our meetings either." You started. "I ACTUALLY kinda like it when you read to me. And, I'm just asking you don't need to answer but- have you maybe, lost some of your roses? Around the base? Where I usually work at?" You boldly asked gulping at the end, hoping the answer was "Yes". Zor was quiet, attempting to hide his face in his hands ;"Maybe.. I have.." He said. You accepted maybe, maybe was REALLY good actually. Maybe was GREAT. ;"You don't need to worry I put them in a vase in a Zazz proof place." You explained to him, you were sure you saw him smile a bit. ;"Heh.. Thank you Y/N." He said. OHMYMOBIUS he called you by your name! Not "human" but Y/N! You made a silent "YES!" gesture to yourself. 

Zor had gotten weirdly silent. You looked beside you and noticed him incredibly close to you. ;"What are you doing?" He asked 'Oh Chaos did he see that??' You panicked. Now that he was close, you could see the little details of his face you normally couldn't. His eyes were nearly shining to you, tiredness was noticeable but you were busy staring at his features to notice it. His face was rather cute in a way. You kind of wanted to touch it, but wondered if you should. Might have been an overkill. Aaaaand you were totally caressing his face. Wow that was fast. His face turned entirely red. ;"I- um- sorry it's just that your face is incredibly adorable, I mean cute- I mean-" you rambled on. He did not pull away however. He closed his eyes and.. purred? You had no idea Zeti could even do that. You smiled to yourself hoping no one would come in on this. It was kind of intimate, yet calming moment. ;"Y/N.. I have actually a short poem I'd like to read to you, if that is alright?" He asked you. You couldn't help but nod to him. He took a thick book off of the shelf, waddling back with it placing it with a big THUD on the table. He climbed back up on the chair, looking through the book for right chapter. Once he found it he started to read: "In the darkness there is a rose, beautifully wilting in the dim light of the Moon, the rose cares not of the void everywhere around it, silently suffering in the dark." He reads. "I think that you're the rose, and the suffocating darkness is this place.. I don't want you to suffer like the rose does." He explains. "Will you stay with me? Maybe we can suffer together and it might be more tolerable?" He asks you. You simply give the Zeti a long lasting hug, placing a small kiss on his forehead. ;"I'd love that Zor." You answer.
