Walking towards Shaxx, you could hear him from across the courtyard. It was currently about 9:57 PM so most Guardians decided to call it a day because of the patrols and stuff.

"Ah! My favorite Guardian!" Shaxx exclaimed, making you chuckle.

"Shh Shaxx, people are sleeping," you scold.

"Well the Crucible never sleeps so neither should them!"

You rolled your eyes, "You are such a liar. Just at noon, you came into my apartment, laid down with your head on my lap and fell asleep, full armor on and everything."

"That was merely a break!" Shaxx exclaimed.

"Then can you take another one for me? Tonight's our date night," you said.

"Of course, anything for you," Shaxx said, not shouting at the top of his lungs.

Whenever Shaxx was just talking to you, he lowered his voice. I mean, you are his treasure and he never wanted to make it seem like he was yelling at you. Outside of Crucible and Shaxx's job as the handler, he wanted to be a gentleman.

You smiled at him, which of course meant you had to look up a bit. He was literally 6'11, of course you had to look up at him.

Most Guardians who had never actually talked to Shaxx thought he was imatidating and scary, but in reality, he was just a giant teddy bear. Shaxx would never admit this out loud, but he cuddling with you at night, it gave him some security that you were okay.

"C'mon, I have a special place for us to go. Unless you are too busy, I mean Crucible never sleeps," you tease.

"The Crucible never sleeps, you are correct, but it does take breaks," Shaxx replied, his voice showing the grin he had on behind his helmet.

"Then c'mon, I want to show something on Nessus," you smiled, grabbing his hand and pulling him towards the Hangar.

He chuckled at you. Shaxx always loved your adventurous spirit and the rants you would go into about missions you've done for Zavala or Cayde.

"So what did you do today, honey?" Shaxx asked as you kept pulling him towards your ship.

"I did some patrols then did a strike by myself. Honestly, it was hard, but fun!" You explained, "I did everything on Nessus where I found said spot."

"You must really love this spot to show me," Shaxx said.

"Oh I do! Its beautiful! Its untouched by everything, nothing has found it before! You are going to be the only one I show the spot to!" You exclaim.

Shaxx chuckled, "Oh how lucky I am."

"Its even prettier during the night, since I found the spot early in the morning," you said.

"Is that why I woke up alone?" Shaxx asked.

"I didn't want to, but I had to go patrol. I promised Zavala I'd do more patrols," you explained.

Shaxx frowned when you said that you promised Zavala you would do more patrols, you had enough on your shoulders as it is.

Upon reaching your ship, your Ghost trasmatted both of you into the cockpit. You took the controls and Shaxx sat next to you.

"Hi Shaxx, hows the Crucible?" Your Ghost asked, floating next to Shaxx.

Shaxx smiled behind his helmet, "Busy as usual. How are you Ghost?"
