Confessions Of Teenage Murder (And Worker) Drones

Lovestruck?

J had reclaimed the landing pod as her own, with it her title as leader of the squad.

As J won't allow any visits to the pod, N was forced to go to the bunker to see Uzi, but even Khan won't let the drone in. So visiting hours were pretty rare over at Uzi's.

J and V were like good old friends again, laughing and joking together, but J was alone in bullying N.
V just didn't enjoy it anymore and the victim in question noticed the initiative, greatly appreciating it.

Is some peace just too much to ask for? Just when I thought that J was gone for good does she come over again. I'm tired of this shit.

N had just got bullied by J a little more than ten minutes when the squad heard small, quick knocks on the door.

"N, go open!" "I wonder who'd come these days, storms are multiplying themselves."
A fake smile on his face, the drone went grumbling to open, not knowing that the person on the other side of the door was in fact Uzi.

"Hey N!" Uzi said, a small smile on her lips. She was not wearing her usual outfit: under a thin black coat was a knee length violet dress with small white stars embroidered at the bottom. She wore her usual boots and iconic beanie, a backpack on her shoulders.

Not knowing what to say, N considered a hug the best greeting he could give and let her in.

"Hi V! Uh.. hi J." "N, did you not tell your purple brat that visits are not allowed?"

The male drone was more than delighted to see his best friend, but no coherent answer would pop up in his mind.

"Oh, he did. But I assume the consequences. I came here by my own free will," Uzi snapped.
"Well, you might as well pack up and go home, this is my pod and I make the rules! You're not welcome here anyways."

Uzi looked J up and down before mumbling that N should've been the leader, tossing a flat package at V to catch.

"Let's go N, I've got something to tell you." J, who seemed actually offended, gave her co-worker a dark, menacing look.
But eager as he was to see Uzi, he just came up with a quick, meaningless excuse, closing the pod's door behind him.

His friend sighed and looked up at him, "I'm so sorry N, I'm going to cause you trouble after this." She seemed genuinely worried.
They suddenly stopped walking, as the male drone had grabbed Uzi's shoulders, a soft expression on his face.

"No, you won't. No matter what J does next to me, I've known worse. Believe me," he says, his voice a hoard whisper.

"J bullies you all the time, I don't bear the thought of you suffering every day more than you've already suffered," she said under her breath. "Suffering because of her."

"Aren't you tormented as well? Bullied every single day by the brats in your class. Ignored by your father and pained in so many ways even I could not heal all your wounds, even if I wanted to?" He mumbled, lacing their fingers.

Uzi still didn't seem reassured. So N took her hand in his, ran a few metres before deploying his wings and soared high in the starry night sky, Uzi's wings appearing on her back.

They were struck and bewitched by young love, yet none of them would admit it.

Both of them were blushing under the moonlight, staring hungrily at each other as if wanting to steal and snatch the other's every detail.

Lacing fingers, holding hands. The tight embraces that lasted more than they were supposed to.

They were being oblivious, yet one of them had to gather the courage to confess.

I should probably tell her. But.. what if she doesn't like me back?

I should confess. But as much as I hate to admit it, I can't say those three words that will change everything. Someone needs to bite me. Now.

Still lacing fingers, they arrived at the bunker flushed and euphoric. For a moment, neither of them really said anything. Or had they a lot to say, but their tongues won't obey them, maybe.
Eventually, N brought himself to say something. "Well, I was hoping that flight would last a bit longer, but . . I guess goodbye?" He said, scratching the back of his head.

"It's not a goodbye idiot, it's a see you later," Uzi replied with a laugh N could've got drunk on was he able to bottle it.

Well, I like to think myself as your idiot, my queen.

He opened his mouth to say something, but before the words could come out, Uzi grabbed him by his collar and kissed him on the cheek. Next thing N knew, she was gone.
