The Adventures Of N & Uzi [Season 3]

Bastard Out Of Copper-9

In the serene glow of their metallic dwelling, N and Uzi found an uncommon respite from the bustling life in Copper-9. The soft hum of machinery outside provided a comforting backdrop as the couple shared a rare moment of tranquility. They sat together, metallic hands gently entwined, basking in the warmth of ambient lights that cast a soft radiance across their abode.

Beau, their adopted son, played nearby, his laughter echoing through the room like a melody of joy. N, his usual animated demeanor tempered by the calm atmosphere, looked into Uzi's purple-lit optics with a genuine warmth.

"You know, Uzi," N mused, "we've come a long way from the judgment and rejection we faced in our old worlds. I never thought I'd find this kind of happiness."

Uzi, typically reserved and guarded, nodded in agreement. "Yeah, N. It's like we've carved out our own sanctuary here. A place where we can just be ourselves, find solace, and be happy."

As they exchanged a loving gaze, Beau toddled over, his curiosity shining through his tiny metallic frame. N scooped him up, his vial-tipped tail swaying playfully. "And here's our little reminder that love can conquer even the toughest metal. We're more than just a family; we're a testament to resilience and togetherness."

Uzi, her metallic features softening with a touch of affection only visible to N and Beau, ruffled the toddler's hair. "I hate the sappy shit, but it does seem as if our purpose, if there ever was one, is centered around loving and cherishing each other. After all we've been through, who would've thought we'd find this kind of peace?"

N, a twinkle in his optic lights, leaned in to kiss Uzi on her metallic cheek. "I wouldn't trade this for anything, Uzi. Our journey may have been unconventional, but it led us to this beautiful moment."

Just as they reveled in the simplicity of being together, N's visor flickered with a mischievous glint. "You know what, Uzi? Let's make it official. Let's sign that document thingie tomorrow and make sure our happiness lasts forever."

Uzi's optic lights sparkled with excitement, although her usual stoic exterior remained intact. "You're right, N. Let's do it. Let's make our love official and we can celebrate it with everyone in the colony."

The decision to get married wasn't a spur-of-the-moment idea. It had been a gradual realization, nurtured by the unwavering support they found in each other and the love that flourished within the walls of their metallic home. Beau, sensing the happiness that radiated from his parents, clapped his little toddler hands in approval.

"We've already been engaged for a while, but making it official feels like the right thing to do," Uzi remarked, her tone carrying a pragmatic edge. "Besides, I'm tired of people looking at us like we're some anomaly. Maybe a marriage certificate will make them see that we're just a regular family."

The prospect of planning a wedding in Copper-9, a place where every drone had a unique story, excited N. "I can already imagine the celebration! It'll be the biggest event in the colony, and everyone will see that love knows no bounds."

Uzi, a hint of a smile breaking through her usually reserved demeanor, agreed. "Let them talk. We've faced worse than a few gossiping drones."

As the couple delved into discussions about their upcoming nuptials, Uzi's underlying angst and N's boundless enthusiasm created a harmonious balance. The excitement of planning their wedding mingled with the echoes of their shared laughter, creating a symphony of joy that reverberated through the metallic corridors of Copper-9.

"So we're gonna get married tomorrow, right?"

"Hell yeah, we're gonna get married tomorrow," Uzi answered with a grin. "And nothing will stop us."
