Testing Emotions

Partners 'Till Sunset

Sorry, I let the story go dormant ;-;

Suki had bee the first to wake up that past four hours, but being isolated for extra matinence. Even though they were fully fixed, they wanted to make sure that the main cords were secure, perhaps maybe even over secure just in case.

But for some reason Chiyoko's systems had started to be unresponsive, and held the chance of being offline for good, technically forever in a sleep-like state.

"Are you sure you've done everything to wake her up?!" Sukurian hissed, showing the obvious worry on her face as she stood beside her friend's possible death bed.

"Surprisingly. Since you are machines, we thought we would've been able to do something. But for some reason the data in order to wake up is being blocked by something."

Suki sighed and crouched down beside the green bot, silently praying for her to wake up.

"You should go tell the others that you're awake, they're worried about you. And tell them they can come in for repairs." Todou called up to her as she stood again.

With a sigh of defeat, Suki hesitated then took her leave, heading towards the detectives office. On the way, she fell into a deep thinking state and felt her body control itself. It was strange, how a bot couldn't wake up. Perhaps Chiyoko had a virus? No, it would have been detected by her own systems....

"I wonder...." She mumbled before bumping into something. Er, better make that someone.

"Sukurian...!" Deckerd said whimsically, "You're finally awake! I was really worried, uhm, we all were. What about Chiyoko?"

"She can't wake up, something is blocking her wake up protocol."

"If Todou can't fix it, no one can. Well, that's what we go by." He chuckled, trying to brighten up the mood a little bit, but quickly changed the subject, "Er, I'm going on patrol right now. So..." He rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly, "Uh, care to join me?"

Sukurian just gave him a questioning look, but perked up at slight, "Sure, anything after this slumber is better other than sitting in that room all day."

Deckerd smiled then nodded, gesturing her to follow. There was something she adored about him, perhaps it was his courage.

Golden Night, tell the others that they can go in for repairs and that I'm going on patrol with Deckerd. That includes you too.

Earning no response as usual except the acknowledging click from the bot, she turned her radio link off. She noticed that she had fell a bit behind and caught up to his side, keeping her hands behind her back and head down.

Deckerd glanced at her, "You should straighten up, I've gotten cramps like at." He stated with a kind tone and she obeyed, raising her head. "That's better. Plus, you look better when both of your eyes showing."

"W-what?" Suki could feel her cheeks warming up a bit.

"Uh! Er... don't mind me.... Ahem, we should get going." He changed form then drove out through the entrance.

Suki mentally rolled her eyes with a big smile and a shake of her head, transforming and flying after him. "You know, patrolling isn't so bad when you're not alone...."

"Is that so?" He asked, stopping at a light, causing Suki to hover high over him.

"Mhm. And it feels better when it's you." She slowly began to fly off after her comment, and left Deckerd slightly dazed.

"Better, when it's me?" He repeated softly to himself, not noticing the light turn green. Shouting and horns honking behind him caused him to snap out of it and drive forward.
