"Sit on the bed, I have something for you"

Thus began Hermit, as she entered im his cabin, while Weisz stood on the ground trying to assemble some pieces of metal scattered on the ground.
The blond, partly out of curiosity, partly because he had no other choice, stood up and sat on the edge of his bed listlessly while Hermit for her part tried to hide the excitement for that surprise in a glimmer of seriousness behind a candied smile.

"I did something that as soon as you see It, will make you crazy" said the light blue-haired girl,while looking for something of her in her skirt all excited about It, and already that enthusiasm warmed a lot the heart of the blond mechanic next to she.
"Oh .. but .. but close your eyes." she continued, agitated.
"Close your eyes? Are we kids, Hermit?" He retorted reluctantly, looking at her amused
"I said close your eyes."
Her face suddenly becomes serious, better not to contradict her.
"Okay," he replied, closing his eyes and folding his arms.
However, as Hermit searched again for what she had to give him, Weisz opened one eye slightly.
"Weisz, I see you."
The blond simply lets out a slight chuckle and then settles down waiting for the gift
"Give me a hand please." She says touching his shoulder to get her attention, and as an order he pulled a hand out of the arms that had been folded just before.
In a short time, something that looked like a small box, probably in velvet, arrived to the touch of that hand and Weisz was very perplexed.
He opened his eyes and found a small black box in his hands and this leaves him even more confused. He saw Hermit next to him, looking at the box and then at him, at the box and then at him, in profound silence.
"What is this?" Weisz asked absolutely incredulous at what he was seeing in front of him "Open it and you will know" he found himself as an answer from Hermit.
And Weisz opened that box, finding inside ...

A small silver ring with precious green squiggles and a small glass slide also green, as well as small gears inside.

"And what Is this?" the blond asked even more confused trying to understand what kind of idea the girl next to him had had.
Hermit had been working on that ring for a very long time, and you could see it in the details on all that little object, but he wanted to understand more about why such a singular gesture.
"It is a ring that has similarities to Arsenal's exoskeleton and its clock. In addition to enhancing the capabilities of your Ether Gear, it also enhances the capabilities of Arsenal itself." She began to explain, trying to contain the small disappointment in not having yet seen the enthusiasm for that small object on the part of the blond "But it has different characteristics. For example" she gave a little touch on the ring and this activated holograms that showed various things, from the time, to the applications inside the ring to the contacts in the address book "This functionality is similar to that of a bcube or a classic telephone lacrima, there is an internet network and all the rest ... but..." She gave the ring a second tap and almost immediately a phone vibrated." On the second tap you will send a call directly to me, in case you're in danger and need an immediate contact. " She finished, showing him her phone which was vibrating.
"What if I have to turn it off?" Weisz asked, quite fascinated by that little object "You just need to press the edges with your fingers" Hermit replied, turning off the ring "And here it is. This is my gift." She concluded, looking into his eyes as if she looking for an answer that was at least positive.
There was a little silence between them, but it was broken by a Weisz who gave a slight chuckle, looking at the ring in his hands with renewed interest and fascination.
"Oh my God, you're out of your mind," the blonde says bursting out laughing even harder.
"If you don't like it I'll take it back."
"Don't you dare! This is mine now!" the blond says putting the ring on his finger and looking at it next to where the Arsenal watch was, as they glowed in a splendid and elaborate match.
"Do you like it?" Hermit asks, heartened by that happy reaction from the blond.
"Yes," he replies happily at Hermit approaches her with a shoulder around her, who looks at him with genuine happiness despite her always serious face "Butttt... why did you want to ..?"
"Why not?" she replies in great haste, putting her head on his shoulder, cuddling a little. They never had so much time alone for themselves as they were very often engaged in planetary missions or various types of ship engagement, and especially Hermit had many responsibilities on her shoulders; so being a bit 'snuggled like this, without haste or pressure was always very nice for both.
"Understood" he replies, realizing that she wouldn't have said it to him even dead why she had given him that unusual but very welcome gift and they stayed like that for a while, without saying anything. Without actually doing anything, the only change is that instead of sitting they were now both lying on the bed, with Weisz stroking Hermit's hair as she sat her head on his chest.
"This hoodie is smeared with engine grease, Weisz." Hermit broke the silence, raising her gloved hand and looking at it a little disgusted "How long have you not changed it?"
"Dunno maybe two days, but It's still pretty clean." he answered, looking at her to find a mixed face between "Are you kidding me?" And "Did you hear yourself?" from her.
"Weisz please, don't let me lose that little esteem I have for you. Go change this thing" the blue-haired girl replied impatiently while she still held a hand on his chest, sighing.
"Little esteem for me?" Answered the blond almost offended "You call me "Very cool ", you help me to build an exoskeletal superhero, you even build me a ring without a real reason ... and then you say that you have little esteem for me?"
"What is it,Baby Weisz was offended?" She asks flirtatiously, climbing on top of him and sitting slyly on her stomach.
"Hermit, wait .. you're hurting me .." he says with little breath trying to position her better, with the help of her who, suddenly worried, tried to put herself better so as not to hurt him. Placed in a more comfortable position, Hermit glanced back at him slyly again, leaning over him.
"Look at you, you haven't even shaved well. You already have regrowth." She says touching his cheek with her finger and feeling the pinching of the hairs that were growing back "I'm fine that you are here trying to do things that can help the more mechanical part of the spaceship, but I wish you would take a little more care of yourself." she continues, speaking with mockery but also a glaring and sincere concern.
Weisz stretches a little with her on top of him, putting his hands over his eyes "You're not my wife, don't act like one." He squabbles, then puts his arms behind his head.
"I'm not your wife yet but I could be," she replies, fiddling with the laces of his hoodie.
"And let me guess, did you make me this ring because you want to marry me?"
"Yup."
"Hahaha...funny girl."
"I'm not kidding."
"Huh?"
"I said I'm not kidding."
