Drone Swap-Murder Drones

comforting warmth

There was a clash of claws, the manic laughter of DD audible. Along with the iconic large X on their visor as Nexten was holding U back.

"C'MON, YOU CAN DO BETTER!" , she kept pushing the blades down onto Nexten. Nexten quickly moved out of the way, letting U onto the floor before grabbing her hands and pinning them to her back.

"HUH, I did do better apparently", he got of U and extended his hand, letting U take it and pulling her back up. U raised one of her claws, acting as she was gonna strike before Nexten gave her a kiss in the cheek. "We both know you wouldn't hurt me intentionally, also your acting is horrible."

U stood still for a moment as a Yellow blush overcame her before mumbling to herself, "smug bastard"

"Love you too". Nexten lifted his arms in celebration. "WOO, I'm getting better though. I'm beginning to sweat with these."

U stood there confused, "... you do realize we can't sweat, like at all"

"I know, I know it's just an expression"

U scoffed and gave a smile, "you dork"

"Hey, I'll let you now I prefer being called a nerd. I didn't make a sick as hell railgun to get classified as a dork." Nexten struggled to hold himself together while saying it but managed

"Ok, ok. Nerd it is.... you dork" Nexten gave her a side-eye to which she couldn't stop but laugh

The day went on by with not much to it, U stayed by Nexten's side as he conducted his research on dissasemblies. Sometimes worrying he was going to hard into his work, she could see his visor displayed lines under his eyes and at times even a beeping red battery symbol. Eventually U got fed up with his lack of care and grabbed in a blanket and wrapped him up.

"HEY, I'm still working!"

"NOPE, YOU WORKED ENOUGH, and at this point I wanna hold my Nex."

"But did you have to wrap me like a burrito"

U took a second to process what Nexten said, he was right though and it gave her an idea. "Yes I did, now your more like a snack~"

Nexten started get a green blush as he gave an 'Oh shit' expression. Only letting a small squeak to show how flustered he really was.

If U had a heart it probably would've melted but for now, she settled for hugging the Nexten burrito and giving a slow purr like noise.

Nexten, completed exhausted felt a strange warmth overtake him along with the purring, soon watching losing himself to sleep.

(You probably thought we were done huh, NOPE, time for dumb dreams)

Nexten woke up laying on the snow. All but his regular clothing gone. The world had an unsettling yet tranquil feel to it. The howling winds with the starry sky made for a beautiful view for those new and a terrifying, traumatic one for the ones who survived the harsh outside. He walked around the abandoned streets, looking for anything that might look familiar and give him a sense of direction.

Then a audible crunch of snow was heard from not so far off. Hiding in a run down car he quietly observed the culprit of the footsteps. The silhouette appeared small for a dissasembly and they didn't seem to have any wings but the claws were definitely there. Next thing he new he heard two voices

"AH-HA, THERE YOU ARE" followed by some screams and a worker drone flying into clear moonlight. Slowly the silhouetted figure came into view and what Nexten saw left him speechless. It was him there was no denying it yet something was off. This Nexten looked messy, like he was sick and his visor had turned to yellow lime green instead of his usual deep green. The Nexten made quick work of the worker, killing him and drinking the oil like hus life depended on it, even going as far as licking whatever he got on his claws. Not long after his dream ended.

SO, short chapter, I was on a plane making this as it helped calm me down. This story doesn't really have much too add story wise cause of that, I just wanted to make more fluff and as for the dream sequence. That WAS the original idea for the drone-swap, just taken to a slight extreme. I wanted Nexten getting turned into a DD but honestly the idea really died down and I liked the worker, dissasembly duo more.

New note: apologies, fucked up a publish, don't worry I'm still alive
