The rescue had finally happened
Slayer was injured, tired. The body was sore, and the ears were ringing a little louder than usual.
Honestly, he had never felt better.
When he has put his feet on the metal floor of the fortress, nothing mattered. VEGA was finally in his hands, finally safe in their home.
He was back.
Hayden's metallic body flashed above him, but Slayer did his best to ignore those contemptuous words, walking across the corridors and reaching VEGA's Core, eager to hear the comfort of his voice again.
"Slayer?" , Was the first thing the AI said when he joined the fortress' system, quickly cutting off Hayden's voice in retaliation for a past event.
"Did you came back for me?"
For a second, the marine was in shock. Of course he would come back for VEGA, he had already done it once, didn't he?
Hands without gloves were signing fast;
OBVIOUS
VEGA was silent for a second or two, almost on the verge of worrying the other man. When he finally spoke, the comforting and beautiful voice seemed a little hesitant.
"Why?".
A bolt of courage went down through the Slayer, fast. He raised his left hand, his eyes shining.
He moved his middle and ring fingers downward, folding them against his own palm. The gesture was quickly shown clearly to VEGA.
I LOVE YOU
