Red Vs Blue Book of One-Shots

... Okay, it's kinda cute...

(I just got a new puppy, so this little idea was popped into my head :3 Not truly ship related but still cute!)

Theta sat alone inside the head of Epsilon, with the occasional visit of Delta telling him that the main AI required his memory.

Because that's what he was.

Just a lonely memory.

Theta had lots of memories too, but most were erased.

Except for one thing

When Theta was tortured due to Agent Maine, he was forced to let go of everything.

Except for one thing.

Agent North was the best thing to happen to the timid AI. So when that memory was threatened, Theta fought back.

Of course, no one suspected something so brave from something so 'weak', so the whole plan fell out of place.

Theta got to keep his memory of the beloved agent that never betrayed him, and the Meta got to fall to pieces.

Theta had to as well.

But it was worth it.

So when Epsilon created his memory of Theta, he also had Theta's memories. This all included North. North's comfort for him, his devotion, and his kindness. The three things someone needs to keep on living.

But there's one more thing the poor AI didn't receive...

"Can we get a dog?"

Distant groaned rumbled within the AI chip, and Epsilon said a harsh no for the moment, but instantly felt guilty when the purple hologram flashed away.

He would have to make up to him for this...

~~~~~

Theta was staring at computer codes, bored out of his mind, and in general just really bored. The young AI didn't want anything to do with the scary, mature, angry holograms. They all wanted power or knowledge of something, when all Theta wanted was his friend back.

But he knew that wouldn't happen.

All the times they've spent together, all the promises he's made, and they were all broken. More broken than glass. More broken than himself.

If an AI could shed tears, Theta would've been sobbing on the floor by now. But once he remembered he was a machine, and that he shouldn't have emotions, he took a deep breath, as if that would solve all his problems.

It didn't.

The held breath was released, and for a moment, that made Theta feel human. The need to cry made him feel alive.

Should he be happy or sad?

"... Theta..." Epsilon asked wearily, seeing the fragile, purple AI from across the room. He walked over, and sat down beside him, looking to the ceiling as well.

"Dogs... Are a big responsibility..."

Theta absolutely lost it at the word 'Dogs', and reverted back to his normal shy-self.

"You mean we can have a dog?"

"Well, you can have a dog. I'm staying on the high horse to not take care of that... Thing."

"ThankYouThankYouThankYou!" Theta cheered, jumping up and dog, and now he felt like crying again.

But they were tears of joy.

The best kinds of tears for the broken soul.

(1k VEIWS! WE DID IT GUYS! :D)
