Attack On Galaxy [ON HOLD]

Apology

The sun was going down, the sky was a clear peachy color with a hint of red and orange, and soon it will be getting dark.

Ratchet had no choice but to return back to the garage. He wanted to just sneak on by up to his favorite thinking place. But he knew he just couldn't ignore Grim upon arriving back. He had to apologise for earlier and for what he said.

Ratchet walks in with his ears all droopy and he followed where he heard the drilling and hammering. Wherever there was a sound of something being repaired, Ratchet knows that is where Grim would be. And that's exactly where he found him.

Grim was currently working on another repair, just as Ratchet had assumed. But the noise the drill and other tools were making was too loud and distracting for Grim to even take notice of a certain Lombax slowly approaching up to him from behind.

“Ah, um….Grim?” Ratchet nervously brushes a hand over behind his neck as he called out. But the tools were far too loud, so he knew he needed to shout. “Grim!!”

The drill and other tools stopped and Grim turns around to be faced to face with a very guilty Lombax.

“U-Um...about before…” But before Ratchet could continue with an apology, Grim cuts him off as he raises up a hand.

“No, No, don't apologize. I'm the one who should be apologizing. I spoke out of turn. Your old enough to make your own decisions, and….I really shouldn't have said what I said back there. I'm sorry. It's just...I'm scared of letting you go out there. Most never even come back! I just…. didn't want to risk losing you...and I did.”

“No Grim, you didn't lose me. I'm so sorry for saying that, I didn't mean it. I just….got frustrated is all. But….maybe your right as always. Perhaps I should dream smaller.” With that Ratchet begins to walk away to his room.

“Ratchet...you can go if you want to. I'm not going to keep you from your dream anymore.”

“It's too late though, Grim. The sun is going down, and it's about time the enlistment is

over. A life as a mechanic can't be all bad.” Ratchet forced a fake smile at Grim before going up to his room.

Grim immediately becomes guilty. He felt bad for the poor guy. He doesn't know whether it was a good idea to be keeping Ratchet from his dream, or if it's better that Ratchet gave up on it to follow in his footsteps. He just hopes this doesn't destroy Ratchet.”

“Poor kid…”
