For silentsteel's beta reading:


Enker's mirror buster gently swirled the water beneath him as he sat in the biosphere. Not thinking. Not speaking. Not even really looking at the water and his distorted reflection.

Simply being...there.

This state was one of the consequences of Enker's hyper-intelligence, and his expertise in battle. Push so many computations through a system at such a high speed and eventually it just -needs- time off. Which is part of why he didn't even hear Plant Man come up behind him.

"You're tired again."

"...I'm always tired."

"So I've seen." Curling gently to the ground, Plant lowered to the ground, and its arms lightly circled around Enker in a hug.
"You smell more female today."
"I'm in bloom."
"...."
"Relax. I'm kidding. I just felt a bit more female today. I put on some perfume I decanted from a few of my favorite samples here."
Closing his eyes, Enker inhaled gently and leaned back against it. "I've missed you. I've been..."
"Fighting." Voice a little colder, Plant hugged a bit tighter despite it all.
"Yes." A pause. A moment. "Are you really that afraid of losing me?"
"Of course I am. And not just..."
"Not just because I fight Rock."
"You could leave." Closed eyes. Fear. Shivering.
"But I won't. For you...and for honor." A promise. A golden hand gently takes a green one and holds it. A caress.
"Honor...and love?"
"Always love."
Smiling in a more masculine way, Plant gently let its hands come up to turn his head to its, and kissed him passionately, almost desperately.
"Mm...more masculine, now."
"But you love both of me."
"Forever."
