Adventures of the Variants

Hang Out 💕

Eclipse and Pulsar had came together to create a gigantic garden along with a greenhouse, with Pulsar using most of their powers to create most of the foundation and Eclipse borrowing a couple of Pulsar's powers to create some of the plants. While doing so, Paradox and Solar Flare had caught them creating the gigantic masterpiece and walked along the path, admiring said masterpiece.

Pulsar managed to spot the two and waved at them, earning a wave back as the two came over to both Pulsad and Eclipse.

"Hey. What's going on here?" Solar Flare asked, looking around them. 

"Boredom got the better of us, so we decided to create a greenhouse along with a garden. The world needs something other than the house." Eclipse replied.

"Hmm. And, the inspiration?" Paradox asked, crossing xyr arms, leaning on one of xyr legs.

"Garden fields from different parts of the states and countries. Gonna be huge!" Eclipse smirked, walking backwards to place a marker in the dirt.

Paradox hummed, both xyr and Solar Flare, watching the two go all out on their project. While the two of them watched Pulsar and Eclipse do their thing, the two continued to chat.

"So, has Eclipse ever taken on a project like this?" Paradox asked.

"They have taken on projects, but nothing like this. I never took them for a plant parent. Though their projects are grand and over the top. So, plants - no. Giant projects - yes." Solar Flare explained.

Paradox lifted xyr head in acknowledgment and bit xyr lip. "So, are they normally over the top like this? Extravagant and all that?" Paradox waved jokingly.

Solar Flare chuckled. "Sometimes. Other times, he searches and salvaged things that he deems worthy of making into something. He has a thing for technology due to being a part of a line of code from another animatronic." Solar Flare shrugged, swinging themselves around to fully face Paradox.

"That must be fun. Info-dumping on you about thar sort of thing?" Paradox teased, getting an overdramatic eye roll, causing the other to laugh.

"You have no idea. I have to say to them that they have other passions, as much as I love you rambling... you're talking my auditory sensors off. But, I love them too much, and I find it cute." Solar Flare snorted. "Technology isn't the only thing they'll talk my sensors off." Solar Flare giggled.

Paradox laughed again and covered xyr mouth. "I don't doubt that. Sounds like a journey." Paradox titled xyr head.

"You have no idea... anyways, what do you think of Pulsar?" Solar Flare asked, turning their head to look at Pulsar.

"I like them! They're so nice and fun to hang around with. They love talking about different dimensions and what goes on in them. Not sure how they do it, but here we are." Paradox giggled.

Solar Flare snorted quietly. Both of them watched Pulsar and Eclipse; chatting up a storm far away, seeing them laugh and shoving each other in a playful way. Solar Flare glanced over and looked at Paradox with a shocked look. Paradox had a small blush spread across xyr face, gazing with a look that told Solar Flare that Paradox had a crush on Pulsar; considering xyr eyes stared at Pulsar and a dorky smile on xyr face.

Solar Flare giggled, catching Paradox's attention and xyr rays poked out forwards in embarrassment, the blush darkening on xyr face. "What?" Paradox protested.

"Oh... nothing." Solar Flare teased, trying to contain their laughter.

"Tell me. What's so funny?" Paradox demanded, though xyr posture and face said differently.

Solar Flare covered their mouth and laughed, hunching over and sighing after the fit and stood up with a hand on their chest. "Honey, you really can't tell?" Solar Flare giggled.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Paradox crossed xyr arms, turning xyr head and pouted; blush still prominent on xyr face.

"Someone's gotta crush." Solar Flare teased quietly in a sing-song voice.

Paradox swiftly and quickly covered Flare's mouth and looked at Pulsar and Eclipse to see if they were paying attention; thankfully, they weren't. Paradox sighed and let go, fidgeting with xyr hands and looking down with embarrassment, shifting from on foot onto the other.

"Wel... y-yeah." Paradox looked up with xyr eyes towards Flare. "They... they brought me to life. They made me feel welcomed... not that you guys didn't... Pulsar, let me know everything. They let me explore, rambling about what I found interesting and what I searched... they just..." Paradox gazed back up Pulsar, rays shifting in place,  subconsciously putting xyr hands up to xyr chest and softened xyr gaze.

"They're so wonderful. Spending time with them is so magical, and their laugh is cute. They look adorable. They sound adorable..." xyr body fully turned to watch Pulsar, feeling Flare's hand being placed on xyr shoulder.

"Why don't you say anything?" Flare asked.

"I don't wanna rush things. I don't wanna break their heart... or break mine." Paradox lowered their head, rays pulling inwards.

Solar Flare softened their gaze and walked in front of Paradox and placed both hands on xyr shoulders, getting xyr attention. "I get it. I'm sure both of you just need to talk it out. I mean, you said it yourself in your little ramble... they made you and you two hang out every second of the hour. Gotta build up that bond, yes?" Flare explained.

Paradox nodded and bit xyr lip. "I don't wanna mess up the bond that we already have. I don't want it to be awkward." Paradox said.

Flare hummed and rubbed xyr shoulders. "You won't. I can assure you." Flare bend down to look at Paradox.

"Really?" Paradox asked, getting a nod from the other and hugged them, catching Flare off guard but ultimately hugged back. "Thank you." Paradox whispered.

Flare whispered. "No problem." Flare hugged tighter.

The two stayed in their position and jumped when they heard Eclipse's voice speak up. "What's going on here?"

The two of them looked at Pulsar and Eclipse. Flare responded. "Oh, don't worry about it. Nothing too serious." Flare assured.

"Having a little heart to heart?" Eclipse teased, hugging Flare's arms, getting a playful shove.

Eclipse giggled. Paradox quietly chuckled to xyrself and flinched as xe felt Pulsar's gentle hand on xyr arm and face. "You good?" Pulsar asked.

Paradox chuckled, looking away with xyr eyes. "Yeah. All good." Paradox smiled. Pulsar was suspicious but decided to let it go for now. Eclipse called the duo and asked them if they wanted to go over to the table that he and Pulsar created to sit down and chat. The duo agreed, and all four went and sat at said table; Eclipse and Pulsar across from each other and Paradox and Flare doing the same.

Eclipse held Flare's arm as they chatted, and underneath the table, Paradox slowly took Pulsar's hand into xyr own; slowly intertwining fingers. Pulsar glanced down and held Paradox's hands, also intertwining fingers.
