Mechanic

A/N: guess I'm back lol

—————————————————————————

For the next week, Echo was very kind to YN, feeding him, bringing him books and paper to keep him entertained, talking to YN to keep company and doing his best to make sure no pieces of his boat washed into the ocean. He had a lot of fun with Echo, they spent a lot of time together and grew closer. Once YN was able to walk and didn't feel like his head was constantly trying to kill him. YN, fianlly began fixing on his boat, with Echo's help of course.

YN wipped the sweat off his forehead, he groaned looking down at Echo who sat next to him.
"You okay there?" He asked, Echo looked up and nodded,
"This is a screwdriver..right?" Echo asked sheepishly. YN tilted his head and smiled,
"Yeah it is," he scooted closer to Echo, "The one you gave is a flathead." he explained. Echo held it, closingly examinging it,
"There's others?" He asked, YN laughed,
"Lots yeah...you don't...you don't know much about mechanical things do you?" Echo shook his head.
"Father never taught me, he tried to put it into my system but it was...damaged. Gladly my memory is still in tact. But no, I was never taught anything manually." Echo explained. YN nodded slowly looking to the side,
"Well...then I'll have to teach you. Come on!" YN grabbed his hand and stood up,
"Oh- teach me?"
"Yeah, come on it's a good thing you have the flat head we need it next." YN explained as they walked to the engine of the boat.

Another week went by, and it was spent teaching Echo some basics, including simple fixes for his own body. Echo was extremely greatful and it showed.
One day YN noticed Echo had a hard time moving his arms and legs, especially his feet. Sometimes he would freeze in place, becuase of this he sometimes fell over.
"Hey Echo, do you..have any oil? It seems like your gears an sich are..stiff?" Echo shook his head,
"No I dont have any more oil, I gave you the last of it for your boat."
"What!? You need to save some for yourself too Echo!" YN exclaimed before running over to the little oil they had left.
"No! no no! You need it to get home!"
"Well I also need my friend to keep working so if he w a n t s to, he can come with me." YN told him holding the oil can and taking his hand to oil his wrist.
"Oh...Wait? WAIT!? With you?"
"If you'd like, I was going to ask you at dinner but I just blurted it out right now so..do you want to come back to Ninjago with me?" He asked.

Echo stared mouth slightly opened, then he smiled wide,
"If your okay with it, I'd love to!" he smiled wider. YN smiled,
"Great! Then we better get your gears oiled, so you don't freeze up on the way there." Echo smiled has YN helped with his gears and joints.

As a whole other week passed by, Echo didn't stop smiling.

YN helped Echo learn a lot about the ship and even helped him repair a small robot. Echo called it 'his buddy' the little guy was apparently built to set the table and pour tea. He was fun to have at the table for the first time since YN had arrived. YN smiled and clapped as the little buddy danced and even did a little song in thanks to YN.

Echo watched YN with a smile.

As YN ate he had a thought,
"Hey Echo?"
"Yes?"
"Do you...need..to eat? Or does it just feel good?"
"Oh yes I do need to eat actually. My creator made me out of spare parts, so for a power source what would usually be others scraps are my fuel. The good thing is I can eat bugs, leaves, bark, and so on for fuel...the downside is...it doesn't taste great." Echo shuttered. YN stared amazed,
"That's so cool! Hey...How Long can you go without food?"
"Well...I have this setting once I get low on food I...almost store it and can last about...4 years?"
"FOUR YEARS!?" YN exclaimed, Echo nodded,
"Give or take."
"That's insane! H-how do you know? Was it in your blueprints I didnt see that, or that fuel source." YN asked.
"Oh no those are um..Zane's." he looked down at his food quickly eating some.
"Oh...sorry."
"It's alright." Echo tried to smile but his teeth gritted against each other and it was obvious...it was that alright.

The rest of dinner was mostly in silence, YN not handling silence Well decided to break it.
"Hey Echo,"
"Yes?"
"What do you call a hot cracker?"
"Well it depends on the name of the-"
"..."
"..I..don't know, what do you call a hot cracker YN?" Echo asked,
"A FIRE CRACKER!" YN exclaimed with a smile, Echo chuckled,
"That's smart." YN widened his eyes,
"REALLY!?"
"Yes, it makes sense and it's comedic."
"No one I've ever met thought that was funny! Usually they laughed out of pity." YN explained eating another peice of their food. Echo pointed his chopsticks to YN,
"Well I think it's entertainming, not out of pity either." he smiled, and YN smiled back.
