Together In Space

Lovesick robots

a/n:
it has been. six months.
I did it just for you Geroniny !!!

Huygens' pov:

It had been now,  three weeks since the arrival of Juno.
It's not like i hated him.
It's simply that...
Oh, I don't know.
I can't put my finger on it.
I wish i could.
But something about him made me...
Uneasy.
"Hey, Huygens!"
"Hi, Juno!"
"I found some cool hydrogen-composite dust."
"Nothing I haven't seen before."
I realized that I probably came off as rude.
"Oh, uh,"
"No, Juno, I'm sorry. That was MY fault,"
"Oh, it's alright.
I wanted to confide in Cassini. Hell, I. wanted to confide in any other sentient craft other than the self-proclaimed robot, the egotistical idiot trying to play Sticks with me on this lonesome, desolate chunk of rock endlessly orbiting around Cassini's grave.
"Huy?"
I was daydreaming. I didn't heard him. I didn't want to hear him. 
"Huygens?"
I was busy. Busy thinking. Busy remembering.
Busy trying to forget.
"Huygens? Hello? Earth to Titan Probe Huygens!"
"Oh, sorry!" I attempted to laugh it off and say I was updating.
"Huygens,"
"You and I both know that updates do not occur during waking hours."
"Huygens, what are you trying to hide?"
I debated whether i should tell him. It's both none of his business and something I should make known to the only companion i have present on this mortal world.
"Juno,"
"Hm?"
"I apologize, but I don't know if I..."
"If I really trust you yet."
I watched his center illumination dim.
"Huygens, how much do you think there is that I do not know? All of us were aware of your closeness to Cassini."
"You both invented interstellar mechanic love."
"Two lovesick robots," i joked.
"Yes."
"Two lovesick robots."

The day grew dull and dim as night crept over Titan.

He powered off as I stayed awake.
I was furious. How did they know! Who even knew? It gave me the most terrible sinking feeling.
I just want him back. Please... please, give me him back!
