N was sitting at the pilots chair and spinning round and round. He was bored as V was out hunting and Uzi was looking for parts to repair the pod. N flicked a way a upcoming warning about his oil consumption and leaned back. Soon V came back licking the oil off her hands. "Hey N, you should come hunting soon," V started and N shook his head. "I'm good V," he said and began to spin once more.

V sighed, she wouldn't lie when she said that she was worried for her coworker and past friend. At that moment Uzi came skipping into the pod with her bag full of what they could only assume were parts that she had scavenged. N greeted her as she sat in the seat next to him, he momentarily stopped and looked at her as well. "How are you Uzi?" N asked and Uzi only smiled.

Uzi sat down her bag and pulled out an assortment of parts, some large some small, and some teeny tiny. "I think I did excellent today!" She said confidence lacing her metallic voice. N smiled at her, "That's awesome Uzi!" he cheered and Uzi began to put pieces together. N blinked away yet another warning, but this one was over his bodies fans starting to shut down, the first signs of overheating.

V sighed as she leaned against the wall her arms crossed in front of her and her tail swaying gently from side to side in a threatening manor. Uzi was zeroed in on her work and didn't show any signs of stopping any time soon. N didn't know what V was even doing, but could only assume she was watching anime.

N got up and walked out into the snow that surrounded the pod and was on the inside of the corpse spire. He liked the cooling feel of the snowy weather on his already burning metal. He walked to the right and sat down leaning back against the spire. The cold snow cooled his burning skin but only for a moment before it too began the melt away into a puddle of water that would later become ice.

V came back to reality after her episode finished and she looked around not being able to find a certain drone. "N?" She called out for but got no response. "Uzi, I don't know where N went," she shook the workers shoulder and she looked over at him. "I felt the door open and few minutes ago, maybe that's where he went?" Uzi questioned and V gave it some consideration.

They walked to the door and opened it before looking outside. Uzi saw that N was laying on the snow his visor completely black. Uzis eyes hollowed out in worry and panic. "V," she whispered and V turned her head in Ns direction. He eyes also hollowed out, then they ran to his side. "N?" Uzi called out and his visor came back online. "U-Uzi?" He mumbled his voice slurred. "N what happened?" V asked kneeling down.

N gave a light giggle as he turned onto his back. "Overheating," he slurred out and V shook her head. Uzi didn't waste any time and sliced her hand open to let her oil drip into his mouth. N sprung up and tackled Uzi to the ground. V tried to step in the help the worker but Uzi only shook her head as this is what N needed.

N dug his sharp canines into her shoulder and the burst of oil into his mouth made his tail swish. A gasp of pain escaped Uzis audio output systems as his fangs dug deeper. A warning flashed in her screen 'Low Oil' it read. N pulled off of her his normal yellow orbs looking down at her. "Uzi!" He shouted in worry.

Uzi sat up holding her shoulder, "I'll be fine," she said. V had already flone off to hopefully fine the two some spare oil. N pulled Uzis hand away from her wound and licked it, the nanites started doing their job immediately. "Uzi, why would you do that?" N asked and Uzi looked to the melted snow that was now crystalizing and turning into ice.

Uzi began to play with her fingers. "I didn't want my one and only friend to die on me, let alone my crush," she mumbled the last part hoping N wouldn't hear it. N pounced on her in a hug and he put his face in her chest. "I'm sorry I was just worried that you hated me for needing oil all the time and that I could hurt you or your frie-" his rambling was cut short by a pair of lips on his.

Uzi pulled back and N stared in shock, he wasn't expecting that. "S-Sorry! I should have thought before I acted!" Uzi said coving the blush that appeared on her visor. Ns confused face began to blush as he smiled. "It's fine," he said and pulled Uzi back for another kiss. "Ew, heres your guys oil by the way," V said from behind.

N looked over to her and gave her a smile after pulling back from the kiss. "Thank you," he said before handing some of the oil to Uzi and taking some for himself. They would both live another day, free or overheating among other things.
