"Your androids know what to do with the arms and ammunitions. Just ask them and do as they say. Do not hesitate because this is all about our lives." Glint proclaimed as they went into the Arsenal to find weapons.
"These are guns and rifles, fully loaded with bullets. Take two of these." Char's android K directed her. She took a sniper rifle and a machine gun. Since she had no prior experience with guns, she linked her android with her memory. That allowed her to access the memory and experience of her android as her own. She made her suit to rearrange its smart fibers to attach the guns to her belt so that she doesn't have to carry both of them.
She was about to go out of the Arsenal when she felt a warm hand wrap around her wrist. She turned to face Zephyr. He shyly let go of her hand and turned his gaze to the ground.
"It must be a bit too early for this, we met only a few hours ago and all. But I have to admit; I have been smitten by you from the very first look. Knowing that this might b my last chance, I know I have to say it to you. The thing is I love you and if there is a life after all these, then I need it with you." Zephyr said, scratching the back of his neck.
"Ohhhh! I love you too." Char replied but could not bring her eyes to meet his.
Her face was on fire. She gripped her suit with her sweaty hands and adverted her eyes from floor to her feet. Silence lingered between them while the whole room was loud with hustle bustle. Their gaze jumped from one thing another but refused to fall on each other.
"We need to get out of here as soon as possible. They know we are here." Éclat shouted.
"We should get going." Zephyr said.
"Yeah." Char nodded
"Wait." Zephyr stopped her. He took a step forward and closed the distance between them. Char could hear her heart thumping, loud and fast, against her rib cage. She felt happy and loved. He cupped her face in his hands, pulled her closer and kissed her on her nose. Char gently squeezed his hand before they went to separate ways.
