Bruised Romance

One

"Alright crew, listen up!" Our boss called out. "We're sending you into space and you won't be coming home for a long time. Here at NASA it is our duty-" My friend, Pink as we liked to call her cause of her suit color, giggled slightly because she was definitely immature. "To look for planets that can be explored on foot, your job, is to document each planet you see, which should take a couple of years, and return home with the promise of a new home planet." There was a couple of cheers at that, a new home sounded nice, but I knew better. All the rich folks were going to be moved first and they would pollute the land before everyone else was moved. Our planet, Earth, was dying because of all this pollution, so NASA is sending some of its astronauts to go find a new home for us.

Our boss gave a couple more words and sent us off to go pack for our years long journey to find a "better" place. Pink came with me because our rooms were next to eachother, "What do you think we'll find out there, Blue?" She asked. "I don't know, Pink, I don't know." Pink hummed, "I just hope the ship is nice. What did they call it again? Skeld or something?" "Yeah, I think." I replied. I opened the door to my room and turned the light one, "Let's pack now so we can talk later, okay?" Pink nodded.

We just boarded the ship we'd be living in for the next several years. "Can we explore, blue?!" Pink excitedly asked me, "I wanna see everything!" I chuckled, "Sure, just let me set my stuff down." (I know the Skeld map doesn't have bedrooms, but for the sake of the story please pretend there are) We had entered the ship via cafeteria doors which have been shut and locked and we have been given a map of the place, so I knew to go left reach the dorms. Pink followed me to the dorms, "Do you want to follow the map, or just go for it?" I asked her. "We have a map, so we can bring it, but I don't want to use it unless we have to." I nodded, turning the corner to the dorms.

I walked along to hall to find which room had my name on it. 1..2..3..6..7. Ah ha! I stopped in front of room number 7, the door had three things, a number, a name, and a color. "7-Julian Bates-Blue" it read. "I'm going to set my stuff down and unpack, you go find your room, ok?" I turned to pink, who nodded with a bright smile I could barely see through her helmet. I opened the door using the key card I was given and stepped inside.

I set the boxes that I could carry on the bed and opened them, sighing about having to head back to the cafeteria for the rest of my boxes.

After some back and forth trips I finally got all the boxes in my room and unpacked. I stood right at the door and observed my new room.There was a knock on the door, I assumed it was pink, and I was right. When I opened the door, there she was, in all her pink glory. Pink or Rosa, had also gathered a friend of her's, Cyan. I didn't know Cyan very well, but I think I heard her name somewhere, it started with an 'S' I believe. "Come on! Let's go explore!!" Pink yelled, grabbing my wrist and dragging me down the hall.

I stood with black in security, watching everyone do their own thing. I watched as Pink and Cyan drug Blue down the halls, I couldn't hear them, but I'm pretty sure they were laughing. Something about that scene just made me mad, and I didn't know how to feel about it. I turned to face black, "Do you also feel mad at something, or am I just being irritated from having to pack everything and move?" Black stepped closer to my side, resting his helmeted forehead against mine. "Yes, I do. I think it's both the stress of moving and watching Blue have fun with other people." Fuck. I am so hard right now. "Have I ever told you how much I love your voice?" I asked him. Black leaned away from me, "No you haven't, what brought this up?" I couldn't see his face, he couldn't see mine, but somehow I knew their was a glint in his eyes and a smirk on his lips.
