Chapter Text
“You want to go to my room?”
Zero nodded. The thought of going into Fifteens room made his heart beat faster.
Fifteen set down her base. Zero followed her lead into her bedroom.
Inside there was a rack of guns, potted plants, and an unmade bed. The room was very cozy, not much of any space was left empty.
fifteen immediately sat onto the edge of her bed. Zero wasn’t sure what to do, only standing awkwardly next to the door.
Fifteen looked zero expectantly while patting her hand onto the mattress. Zero quickly shuffled over sitting on the front edge of the bed facing an old TV.
Fifteen turned on some old black and white western while Zero slowly sank more into the middle of the bed.
It still baffled him how this was happening, why everything was going so well.
Until suddenly Zero noticed out of the corner of his eye that there was an unmarked tape on Fifteen’s dresser.
Fifteen’s eyes widened. She sighed, “The other zeros gave me that tape..”
Suddenly it all made sense.. She wasn’t being kind she was pitying him! The reason she wasn’t nicer to him was because she could tell how much of an embarrassing wimp he was!
He was a fool to think otherwise! Sure he might have thought that she would have been grossed out and never talk to him again. She must have felt bad enough to humor him!
This really was a mistake! The whole thing! Meeting her, checking on her. it was all fake on her part, wasn’t it?
Tears started to form in zero’s eyes“I-“
Fifteen’s face dropped, filled with concern “Don’t worry, I didn’t watch it.” She said waving her hands in a dismissive motion.
“Huh?” Zero blinked in confusion.
Fifteen leaned more into her bed. “I could tell from the way the zeros were acting that it was something personal.”
Zero just looked at her. Their calloused hands, dimples, weathered rusty red color. Everything about her was perfect to him.
“I know how much I care about privacy. I would never want to disrespect that for you.”
Zero wiped the tears from his eyes and went in to hug Fifteen. She was pulled down into the hug, a little smirk showed on her face.
Zero shut his eyes tightly. “Im so glad I have someone like you…”
Fifteen glided Her hand rubbing the side of zero’s oval body and placing a kiss on His cheek.
“Me too.”
