Comments

[alephbet]

Positive.

[technologic]

Okay, then! But hopefully you won't get lectured by me.

[alephbet]

Hopefully not.

[Workaholic, workaholic.]

[technologic]

But this extends to other things too, y'know. [Says the fellow workaholic.]

[alephbet]

What else do I get lectured for?

[technologic]

No, I meant about you overworking yourself. Not just for right now, but for other things as well.

... Though I could lecture you about rushing into dangerous situations too. [Okay she's joking about that one.]

[alephbet]

Technically, that's my job. I was made to do that.

[technologic]

So? I can still worry, even if you were made to do that... [She frowns to herself as she trails off, and then goes back to moving more debris.]

[alephbet]

...I'm sorry. I worry too, and I don't have any right to tell you not to.

[technologic]

N-no, the thing is that I shouldn't worry. I know you're strong, stronger than me, but I still... [She shakes her head.]

S-sorry, I'm being s-s-stupid.

[alephbet]

I'll take a break. Okay?

[technologic]

O-o-okay... [She looks pretty sheepish now, and just keeps her eyes on the debris she's moving.]

... Um, s-sorry.

[alephbet]

It's okay.

[She gets a kiss on the cheek before Aleph moves to sit down.]

[technologic]

[The kiss on the cheek is a surprise, and she ends up dropping a piece of debris on her foot in her surprise. Luckily she just winces before moving it away.]

Y-you're not mad?

[alephbet]

No. You're right, I shouldn't push myself that hard when I don't have to.

[technologic]

R-right... [April should probably follow her own advice though.] ... I-I know you were made for this kind of thing, but y-you still need and deserve breaks too.

[alephbet]

Sometimes I just forget.

[technologic]

T-t-then I'll make sure to r-remind you.

[alephbet]

Thank you. I'd be lost without you.

[technologic]

Eh? W-well it's nothing, and I c-could say the same about you too...

[alephbet]

I guess that means we're meant to be.

[technologic]

[Her eyes widen, and her blush reappears.] ... R-r-really?

[alephbet]

I wouldn't have said it if I didn't mean it.

[technologic]

You... R-really think we're meant to be?

[alephbet]

Yeah, I do.
