Ratchet and clank: ghosts of teleportation *discontinued*

the night's demons

After a long day everyone had went back to their homes. Ratchet was especially tired so he crashed pretty quickly. The second reason everyone had gone home was because there was thunder storm on the rise. It started just a little after ratchet went to sleep and clank went into recharge. A loud thunder clap rang out and ratchet jolted up and slammed his forehead into the top of the bed he groaned and opened the curtains and looked out the window "oh man." He whispered it was getting pretty bad. Something was pulling on him he didn't know what "clank?" No response ratchet hopped down if clank wasn't up he wouldn't wake him they had to get back to veldin to help grim. Ratchet left the bedroom in order to go to the bathroom but he looked across the hall alexis's door was open by just a crack barely noticeable but lightning has alumanated the hallway and her room ratchet debated checking on her but did anyways he assumed she would be asleep and she didn't close the door all the way.

But instead she looked straight back at him her left hand loosely holding onto her omnistaff "your...up." ratchet didn't know what else to say "so are you." She snapped back "what's wrong." He asked alexis looked to her window which was being pelted but heavy rain "we only get rain this back a couple times a year and of course it had to be when I get back." She said bitterly ratchet sat at the foot of the bed "something tells me it's more than that." He gently took her free hand she averted his gaze "nightmares?" He questioned she nodded and swallowed "it's ok. He's gone and alister's alive. Heck he's in the next room." She smiled "it's not that ratch." She inhaled "I will always have these memories I might never looked at anyone the same. I know that sounds dramatic but it's how I feel." She choked out "if you just wanna talk we could." Ratchet started "I don't know right now." Her left hand let go of her staff in order to wipe away the beginning of tears at that ratchet pulled her into a hug. Then that wall of restraint fell apart she cried while ratchet held her not saying anything he only pulled back a few strands of her hair and rubbed her back "I'm sorry- for putting all this on you." She managed "shhh it's fine I promise. Just get all of it out." He tried his best he never was the best at comfort after a bit she calmed down and looked back at him "thanks. For everything not just tonight." One of her hands rested on the the back of her head "not a problem." He replied alexis put a hand on his right cheek and kissed his left this took ratchet off guard "I'm gonna go clean up." She said ratchet grabbed her hand "lex...I." he was trying to find the words about how he felt she sat back down "go ahead ratchet." Alexis took his other hand ratchet took in a breath "alexis. I care about you. A lot. I'm not sure if had anyone else in-" Alexis stopped him "ratchet. I care about you a lot too." Neither of them could stop there smiles. Ratchet put a hand on her cheek and alexis put her hand on top of his she was a little red but ratchet found it cute.

Then ratchet kissed alexis.
