The sound of water running could be heard. A creek that reflected the starry sky above, and a pair of robotic figures sauntering through the blue-tinted area. Through slip-ups, twigs snapping and last-second catches, the two explored about, a romantic aura dancing in the air.

The pair was Dansuki and KT-Hajay 047, best known for their immaculate skills in video gaming, even considered pioneers of E-Sports to some. The two were inseparable,

Whilst brushing through the tree-dotted rill, the two found a small patch of grasslands with a glowy mushroom covered log going over the small river. Beside it was a tall tree with small glowing butterflies floating around it. A polygonal creature, tinted in blues and greens, perched on top of the tree, closely observing the butterflies.

The pair decided to rest on the log and sat down, looking up at the cobalt blue star-studded sky. Blue and purple cubes were floating above, rotating in more ways than one, sometimes colliding with one another. In other parts, there were small discs connected with one another, forming a circular gradient from light blue, to cobalt blue, to neon indigo.

The only sound that could be heard was the small river's water running and the 'chirps' of the blue and green polyhedron being.

The two android lovebirds shared a tender, silent moment, taking in the azure-tinted scenery of the grove. The wind blew softly, flowers colored like the sea swaying in it, almost like a dance of sorts.

Hajay pulled Dansuki closer to him, almost as an act of protection, to say that he wanted her to stay with him. A silent prayer of an eternity spent together, 'till time itself ends. A small gesture that meant a myriad of words.

Dansuki rested her head on Hajay's shoulder. She felt safe and cozy near him, never leaving his side unless she really had to. He made her so, so happy; She loved him like no other, cherishing every little moment she lived with him. He was her world, and he reciprocated those tender feelings for her, rendering them pretty much inseparable.

The two fit together perfectly, like puzzle pieces.

After a bit of mingling and small talk, Hajay lifted himself up and helped up Dansuki, holding her by one of the prongs of her plug arm. They ventured deeper in the grove, feeling the pitter-patter of the rain over them as they crossed small rivers and thick bushes.

On some occasions, they'd see cobalt flowers dancing about, and small blue polyhedron beings prancing about. Polygonal fireflies were the only light source of the place, apart from the bioluminescence the two robots emitted. It was easy to find small bugs in the place, but they were harmless, usually standing their guard on trees or fluttering about the area.

They then ended up in a lake area, the body of water reflecting the vast starry sky. It was truly a sight to behold. The wind had calmed down, leaving only a soft breeze behind.

The lake was shaped like a crescent moon, small polygonal critters leveraging their way through it. The couple passed around it, walking over the shallow waters of the inland sea's edges and crests. The two had walked through the half of the crescent when they saw a small, blue and yellow creature, which resembled a capital Omega.

Dansuki, intrigued, ran to the being, dragging Hajay along with her, holding him by the arm. Before she could even touch it, however, it teleported further away. Dansuki started chasing it, with Hajay reluctantly tagging along, before it led to a satellite dish in a sea of trees, disappearing.

The couple went in the thick holt, following a small path of rocks with glowing mushrooms and mold growing on them. The path led to a small house covered in vines, flowers, ivy and small polygonal bugs. Hesitantly, Dansuki turned the moldy doorknob and opened the door, leading to a small staircase.

The couple ascended up the stairs, finding a small bedroom. Near the bed was a television propped up on a square shaped table, two picture frames and two windows with a small seat and potted aloe vera near them. the bars near the staircase looked worn yet unused. The habitation also had small patches of mold here and there, small polygonal critters having burrowed their way into the patches.

Hajay was tired, and he didn't have any intention of wheeling back to his place. Without thinking twice, he fell onto the bed, quickly falling asleep. Dansuki didn't feel sleepy, so she sat down and turned on the television to pass the time. The TV displayed rudimentary footage of spacial phenomenons, such as shooting stars, meteor showers and reconstructions of outer space.

Dansuki watched as atoms shifted before her eyes, smoldering and regenerating, as the landscape surrounding her and the fast asleep Hajay altered itself, becoming a whole new area. The sounds of water running rang through the android's senses as she too fell asleep.

When the pair woke up, it felt as if something had changed completely. They picked themselves up and inspected the area, noticing that most of the moss and bugs were gone.

Confused, the couple went down the stairs, which seemed to go on longer than they remembered. Once they got out of the house, they stepped on a platforming of wood with a boat docked nearby, surrounded by a lake that seemed to stretch on forever. It reflected the starry sky and its polygonal inhabitants on its surface, and it was surrounded by rows and rows of trees.

The two got on the lone boat, which started moving by itself. It cruised through the blue-coated landscape, the water below reflecting even the small shooting stars that voyaged through the azure. Small polygonal beings made their homes in the water and places nearby, ranging from small insects to polyhedronal avians to even abstract beings that defied the laws of physics itself.

As the boat moved on along, Dansuki rested her head against Hajay's shoulder, looking along at the azure-tinted enviroment and its abstract inhabitants. Hajay wrapped his arm around Dansuki, pulling her just a little close enough to make himself comfortable too.

It was a soundless vow of eternity, of an imperishable love spent between the two androids. A vow of devotion that would last until the end of time itself, even when the world itself perishes.
