I'll win this war... Even if it kills me

Chapter 6

Nova's point of view 

"I'm heading off to work!" 

"Alright sweetspark! Be careful on your way there!" 

"I will carrier!" 

When I was about to walk out, someone cleared their pipes to catch my attention 

"Nova... I need to talk with you, only for a few minutes" 

I blinked and walked to my sire, curious as to what he has to tell me 

"Nova..." 

To the great Hall of Records 

I quietly walked inside the archive building only to stop when I bumped onto someone 

"Nova! There you are! I was worried that something happened to you..." 

I trailed my optics upwards to see my best friend 

"Oh, I'm sorry Orion but sire wanted to talk with me about something important..." 

He quirked an optical ridge but didn't ask 

"It's alright, anyway, why don't we start rearranging the pads?" 

I only nodded, too busy thinking about the information that my sire told me with my carrier's sad optics trained on both of us while my sister was at training with a couple of her friends 

Orion's point of view 

I worriedly placed the data pad in it's place while Nova silently grabbed the ones on the tables 

"Is she alright...? What did her sire tell her? I hope it's nothing bad..." 

I frowned at tge thought of her sire telling her about staying far away from me but I didn't have any reasons for him to think about such 

"-ion?" 

My servos clenched into fists at the thought 

"Orion...?" 

I bit my dermas as my optical ridges furrowed 

"Orion!" 

I blinked in surprise and turned to look at the servo that was placed onto my shoulder then turned to it's owner 

"Nova...?" 

"Orion? Are you alright? You've been staring into space for about a breem now... I was beginning to worry" 

I only hummed as I turned to fully face her while she limply let her servo drop to her side 

"Nova..." 

"Yes?" 

She patiently waited while I contemplated as to what I should ask her or HOW I should ask her 

"What... What did your sire talk to you about?" 

"you scrap head! Not THAT question! It's personal!" 

"oh... A-about that..." 

"N-no... Uh... If you don't want to talk about it then it's alright! I was just... You know..." 

I nervously looked around only to see that the room was in order while the pads were in their rightful place 

"Are... Are you sure?" 

I only smiled and hugged her then patting her on the back while she returned the friendly gesture 

"I'm 100% sure"
