| Zero shook his head. "It's not technically a malfunction, but I don't like it." He stated obviously a little annoyed by his state. "I think it's a dream I keep having every once in a while. I say think because well, I don't remember anything when I wake up. Just that my systems are overheating and sometimes overclocking themselves." He explained as best he could. He should probably replace his fans soon. If things kept up with how they were going they would just blow out from the strain. And then he'd have to repair parts in his chest without damaging his core. It would just be all around annoying.

| X tilted his head to the side in confusion when Zero said it was possibly a dream that was messing with him. He'd never heard of a case of a dream causing a Reploid's systems to overwork themselves. Then again, Zero was a rather different Reploid.
"Maybe you need a little maintenance?" suggested X. "I don't think I should be able to hear your cooling systems from all the way on the other side of the room..."

| Zero shook his head with a grimace. "I think my fans need replacing. Either that or an upgrade." He said knowing that they would give out sooner rather than later. "You can take a look if you'd like, I have my own maintenance room." He said motioning to the other room that branched from his office. He couldn't really fix the fans on his own, well not all of them, so having X help him would probably be his best bet. He didn't trust anyone else to help him. They'd probably crack his core with whatever tool they were using on purpose.

| X blinked in surprise and looked over at the room Zero indicated. It was the same room Zero had fallen asleep in when making the upgrade for X. "Um, sure," he replied. "I'll see what I can do."
He was rather surprised. Not only did Zero show him the maintenance room in his office--which seemed to be deliberately hidden--but he also trusted the blue Reploid with repairing him.

| Zero rubbed one of his eyes with the heel of his hand and got up to go into the separate room. He sat up on the work bench. He had a cover of sorts over the inner workings of his chest. He had a feeling it was to 'protect' the delicate systems, but it didn't really do much on it's own. Either that, or to keep his chest armor from damaging his systems.
He pulled up a holo screen and found his schematics. Although he had a feeling X couldn't read any of it the blue reploid didn't really need to. "This symbol is for all my fans and any other cooling systems." He stated while pointing out a few that way X knew exactly what he was talking about. If any other Hunter had even seen him like that he probably would've snapped on them. Why was X so different?

| X examined Zero's schematics as the blonde pointed out what needed to be repaired. Now that he actually could see Zero's overall structure, he noticed that repairing him didn't seem very difficult. There were a total of seven fans to replace: two near his shoulders, two where Zero's chest orbs usually were--they were probably covers--one in the center of his chest, and two in his head, under the "ear" covers. He doubted the overall cooling system was having problems; replacing the fans should fix any faults in it.
"Alright, this shouldn't take long at all," stated X as he got some tools and parts ready. He was still shocked that Zero trusted him with such a delicate procedure. It was rather clear that Zero preferred staying distant.

| Zero ended up closing his eyes and leaning back against the wall the bench was next to. That was really the only way he could deal with someone else repairing him while he was conscious. He trusted X a whole lot more than anyone else at the base, but he still didn't like anyone messing with his systems other than him. Unfortunately he couldn't repair the fans himself, otherwise he probably would've. The thought of anyone getting close to his core for repairs made him physically cringe. He wasn't sure exactly how he would deal with X repairing him.

| X rolled a chair over to the workbench and set the tools and replacement fans down next to Zero. He looked up at Zero, noting that he looked a bit distressed. "...Would you prefer going into sleep mode until I'm done?" he suggested. He had a feeling Zero was a bit uneasy about anyone, even X, working on his systems. It was a bit obvious by how he always tried to tend to his own injuries; maybe being in sleep mode would alleviate some of the stress.

| "I'll have to tell you how to get to the fan that's in the center of my chest." Zero stated with a bit of a sigh. Since X couldn't read the schematics he would have to tell X exactly what to do and in what order. If done wrong it could mess up how his parts were placed together, or even his systems. He rubbed his face in slight annoyance of not having a choice. At least X could tell when he was distressed. He might be able to deal with it.

| "Um...a-alright..." X wouldn't argue with Zero. Instead he got everything set up and moved the holo screen with Zero's schematics over to an angle where it would be easier to see. It looked like it would be easier to access everything if Zero was laying down. "So, where should I start?" asked X.

| "You can start with the ones near my shoulders. They'll be the easiest to get to." Zero said before lying down on his back. It would be easier for X if he laid down anyway. He removed the cover revealing his core and all his other systems, including the fans. The fan in the center of his chest was right about his core while the other four in his chest were at specific points so that they would get his entire chest. If the fans were up to date it would be nearly impossible for him to overheat considering where they were. Then again he'd never fully overclocked his systems. With better fans he could probably push himself harder.

| X slid the chair over so he was at a better angle, then got to work replacing the fans by his shoulders. The procedure, while delicate and easy to mess up, took all of five minutes to remove the old fans and connect new ones. He assumed next would be the ones closer to the middle of his chest, near the central fan, so he started working on those. They were a bit larger, and took a little more to replace, but overall the process was the same as the ones by his shoulders.
"Okay, should I save the one by your core for last?" asked X after replacing four of the seven fans.

| Although on the outside Zero looked almost bored with what was happening on the inside he was rather distressed. "It's up to you really." He said surprisingly sounding perfectly fine. Regardless of which X decided to do next he would have to guide the blue reploid in what to do. Although him not messing up on the central fan was most important. Hopefully he'd be able to easily see what not to do when changing out the ones in his head. He hated not being able to change parts out himself. That was the only thing he wished he could do no matter what, but that wasn't exactly the case.

| "Alright...I'll save that for last so you can help me with that; I don't want to mess something up and I can tell you're worried." It probably wasn't obvious to everyone else, but X could actually read Zero's emotions like a book. It was something he was well-known for--he could see subtle changes and realize what it meant.
So for the time being, X had to work on the fans in Zero's head. He had to be careful with these, since Zero wouldn't be able to really see what he was doing, but he was able to at least remove the fans for the time being. Removing them also required disconnecting Zero's auditory processors for a moment, meaning Zero would essentially be deaf until he finished.

| Zero grimaced when X told him he knew that the blond was nervous. It seemed X could read him as easily as he could read him. He ended up closing his eyes when his auditory processors were disconnected. He'd just become more freaked out if he could see, but not hear. He managed to stay still, even though it was weird being able to feel X working, but not hear it. He really wasn't looking forward to replacing his central fan. That would be rather nerve racking just because it was his core. If X merely slipped on accident he could be damaged for a good while.

| X worked on one fan at a time and reconnected the fan on the left side of Zero's head first so he could hear while he worked on the other one. He hadn't mentioned anything, so either he couldn't tell if something was wrong, he couldn't tell him something was wrong, or he hadn't done anything wrong.
After the right-side fan was back in place, X took a break. He was a bit nervous about working on the last fan just because of its placement, but he also figured he should let the other fans sync up to his systems first before anything else happened.

| Zero pushed himself back up to a sitting position. It would be easier to direct X this way and it was actually easier to get to the central fan this way as well. After a moment he felt all the fans sync up with each other and surprisingly they weren't really loud. They were barely noticeable at all, but it was a lot better than before. Even with the faulty central fan, the other four were keeping his core cool on their own, but then again he wasn't exactly doing anything.
He looked at X. "Are you ready?" He asked noticing that X seemed nervous himself. That didn't exactly make him feel better but he would deal with it as best he could. There was only the one more to go.

| X braced his hand against Zero's back, knowing Zero really didn't need the support but just acting out of reflex. The fans seemed to be much more efficient than the old ones; there was hardly any heat radiating from him. He gave a quick nod; the faster they finished replacing that last fan, the sooner they could rest.
Maybe Zero could use a recharge after all of this; X had set up a scan to monitor Zero's condition, and tampering with his systems had caused his energy to deplete rather quickly. X had plenty to spare, and he wouldn't be able to rest much with his reserve and core energy as full as they could be. If Zero had a transfer cable, X could spare some of his energy after he finished with that last fan.

| Zero instructed X on what to do. There were about seven parts total that X had to get rid of before his core was completely exposed along with the fan. It almost seemed as though his core was a little smaller than the other reploids. Yet it could obviously put out a lot of heat. He pointed out which not to touch at all because it would shut down his core, and showed X which ones were actually for the fan itself.
Zero's energy level was at about 23%. If they didn't hurry up soon he be put into a forced shut down mode. Unfortunately his energy reserves didn't start charging until his core levels were at 100% and since he didn't sleep that long he only had the amount of energy his core had left. He didn't bother telling X he'd be forced into standby mode if the energy level got to 10%. Hopefully it wouldn't take that long.

| X listened carefully to what Zero said, storing the info in a reserve memory file so he could access it without difficulty and quickly getting to work, following the steps to reveal Zero's core and central fan. His core was shockingly small, only about half the size of X's, but gave off much more heat and energy than X's. Whoever created Zero was clearly a genius in robotics.
After a few quick double-checks to make sure everything was going right, X switched out the fan and put everything back together in the order Zero explained. "There," he said once he finished. "That should do it. Do you have any transfer cables, by any chance?"

| Zero waited for a moment until the central fan synced up to the rest before answering. He pointed over to a tool chest in the corner. "There should be some in there somewhere." He said wondering why X had asked. He needed to go recharge sometime soon. His energy was getting dangerously low. In a way he wanted to say that he was cold, but it wasn't that he was cold, he just hadn't had a proper cooling system in a while. He was so used to overheating a lot that being cool was a little strange.
He'd noticed a subtle change in X's expression when he saw his core. At first he wondered why that was, but then he remembered that X's core, along with practically all other reploid's cores were double the size of his own. He never really understood that. "What's the main difference between our cores?" He asked wondering if X knew or not. He'd never really tested out the other reploids energy output so he was unaware that he really gave off that much more energy than everyone else.

| X checked the tool chest and found the appropriate cable for energy transfer. There was a port in Zero's chest above his core, which seemed to be made for emergency recharges. X had one similar to that but it was under his core. After finding the proper cable, X sat back down in front of Zero and plugged one end of the transfer cable to the port in his chest, then removed a piece of his own chest armor and plugged the other end of the cable into the port in his chest. After setting up the transfer to give Zero about half his core energy and reserve energy, X sat down next to him, thinking.
"I think your core is designed to be more efficient than other Reploids' cores and allows for more additions," he replied. "I mean, it's a lot smaller, but it's way stronger, and you have room for a bunch of upgrades."

| Zero thought for a moment. "Kind of like how you have a lot of slots for a bunch of upgrades, but it looks like it's for armor instead?" He asked remembering he'd seen that on X's schematics. He wasn't sure if he'd told X that yet or not, but he knew now. He didn't think armor upgrades could go onto his core, so what could they be for? He really had no idea what could be added to his core as an upgrade. Unfortunately it wasn't like he could just look it up either. He only had one blueprint page of himself even though he'd seen more somewhere, and half of his files were locked. And to top it off, he had no idea who had made him. But apparently whoever it was, was quite the genius in making reploids. At least that was what X made it seem like.

| X blinked in confusion. "...Armor upgrades?" he repeated, visibly puzzled. He didn't know armor could actually BE upgraded. Maybe that was why his schematics were so different from everyone else's--all the other Hunters had schematics that leaned toward programming and core upgrades, but X didn't have much room for those. Maybe Zero learned that when he had to repair him those times after the mission and training.
"Well...either way, your creator seemed to know what he was doing when he made you," he commented. "Maybe he knew you would need certain upgrades as time passed so he thought ahead, just like my creator probably did."

| Zero nodded slightly. "I guess so." He partially muttered. He really had no idea why he would need core upgrades, but regardless they appeared to be there. The one page of schematics had nothing on upgrades. Only on the parts and the serial number for them. Unfortunately most of the parts were non-existent anymore, that's why he tried to repair them instead of replacing them. He had a feeling if he replaced one of his parts with a part that didn't have the same serial code that he wouldn't run half as effectively, depending on what the part was.
He glanced out the window and noticed that it was still dark outside. They still had time to actually rest. "You should go back and get some sleep." He said before standing up again. "Thanks again." He said with a bit of a smile. He'd been helped more by X in less than half a day than he had by anyone in his entire time being at the base. It was kind of sad really.

| X noticed that Zero seemed a bit depressed about not really knowing much about his schematics, but X knew the feelings. He barely understood his own schematics.
When Zero commented that X should go get some sleep, the blue Reploid nodded. He shut off the energy transfer program and disconnected the transfer cable so Zero could put his armor back on. "You're very welcome," said X with a smile. "Even if nobody else decides to help you, I will." And it was the truth. He didn't want to see Zero getting ignored like that. The blue Reploid walked back to his office and set up his recharge pod to restore his core energy and reserve energy over the course of the next five and a half hours, which would be plenty of time, then got into the pod and quickly fell asleep.

| Zero didn't really respond to what X had said, but he was grateful nonetheless. He went back into his office and shut the door after the blue reploid had left and put back on his pieces of armor. He walked back to his recharge pod and set it to recharge the remaining amount of energy he needed in a relatively fast time span. He usually recharged quickly, but stayed in standby mode. That way he wouldn't be caught off guard if the Maverick alarms went off in the middle of the night. Sometimes he was the only one that responded to them just because it would take everyone too long to actually get ready. He managed to actually peacefully go into sleep mode without having to force himself to. Maybe he wouldn't wake up like that again tonight.

| X finished recharging at about eight in the morning. The sun was already up, and the sky was bright blue despite the pollution. His recharge pod shut itself off, and a few minutes later he came out of sleep mode, feeling rather refreshed. He'd never slept that well before. X stepped out of the recharge pod and stretched, then walked down the hall to Zero's office. He knocked a few times to make sure it was okay to enter.

| Zero had busied himself with cleaning up his office and the two hidden rooms. He never woke up later than six in the morning regardless of what was going on. When he realized he'd been cleaning for two hours however, he felt the need to find something else to do. He never expected to see X standing in front of the door with his hand raised to knock though. He ended up laughing a bit. "Yes?" He asked, obviously amused at the somewhat strange situation. He seemed to be in better spirits than last night.

| X had to stop his hand before accidentally knocking on Zero's chest armor. "Uh, good morning," he greeted, a bit surprised to hear Zero laugh and see him smile. He was actually in a good mood. "I was just coming to see if you were awake and if you were ready to go to the park yet," he explained.
He noticed that his hand was still in the air and quickly pulled it back and hid his hand behind his back in a somewhat nervous gesture, looking up at the A-Rank Hunter with a sheepish expression.

| Zero smiled when X put his hand behind his back. It was obvious he was slightly embarrassed. "I'm ready. I've just been waiting for you to wake up." He admitted before walking out of his office to stand next to the blue reploid and shutting the door behind him. He really didn't have a life at all since he'd been cleaning and waiting for X to wake up. He merely shook his head at the thought before looking at X again.

| "Um...you could've come in and woken me up," said X. "I wouldn't have been upset or anything."
Honestly, if X had woken up before Zero, the blue Reploid wouldn't have anything to do. It was his day off, and most likely nobody would respect that and still pile paperwork up on him. Heck, he doubted anyone even knew that he had been promoted to B-Class.
He wasn't sure why, but he didn't feel quite as awkward around Zero as he did with everyone else. Maybe it was because Zero actually paid attention to him? Either way, he was looking forward to a day at the park with Zero. The blonde was the closest thing X had to a friend.
I wish I could avoid violence...but if I did, this world wouldn't be able to live in peace. So I will fight for this world, to protect humans and Reploids alike.

| Zero shook his head and motioned for X to come along before walking down to the ground level. "No, you deserved your rest." He said while trying his best to ignore everyone else around him. The other Hunters were staring at the two upperclass reploids as if they had shot an animal, just because they had a day off. Well if he was going to get treated like that, he was going to treat everyone else like that. "Have you ever seen the park?" He asked wondering if X had ever seen how massive the place was. However, before X could respond one of the medic reploids had stopped Zero by cutting him off.
"You have to fill out the parts report for the parts you stole." She said while trying to force a rather large stack of paperwork into his hands.
Zero snorted. Stole? He completely repaired his stock parts. He realized it was the same reploid that had disrespected him last night and took the papers. "Oh, please forgive me. I'll do this right away, because I've actually taken parts from your second rate med bay." The longer he spoke the more annoyed he sounded. Conveniently, she was also the head medic in the med bay. He merely walked past her and quickly tossed all of the papers into the closest trash can. He could practically hear her overheating from anger, but didn't bother to turn around. The most he could get in trouble for was wasting paper.

| X blinked a few times before following Zero, surprised at what he had said. Normally the other Hunters wouldn't give two craps about if X needed rest or not; they'd wake him up even if he was at 10% core energy and no reserve energy, suffering from near fatal wounds and practically ripped in half, and force three forests' worth of papers on him. Another thing he liked about Zero--he didn't take X for granted.
He almost smacked right into Zero's back and flattened his nose when Zero stopped in his tracks. That same snobby medical Reploid from yesterday had tried to force paperwork on ZERO? Oh, that wasn't going to sit well. When Zero simply tossed the papers into a trash can, X had to hold back a rather cheeky grin. However, he couldn't resist himself and as he walked past the trash can, he changed his arm into Buster mode and fired a weak shot, incinerating the papers. He heard the medical Reploid let out an incoherent squawk at his action, but nobody moved to try messing with him. After all, he was with Zero, and they KNEW what would happen if they did anything.
"Actually, I haven't," replied X in response to Zero's original question about if he'd seen the park before. "I rarely go anywhere past my usual route between here and Dr. Cain's manor. The missions I went on with you yesterday were some of the rare times I actually go anywhere."
I wish I could avoid violence...but if I did, this world wouldn't be able to live in peace. So I will fight for this world, to protect humans and Reploids alike.

| Zero ended up grinning when X set the paperwork on fire with his buster. Hopefully everyone would think twice being accusing him of anything. Especially something everyone knew he never did.
"Hm.. Really? Well you'll get to see a little more of the city as well." Zero said, although the city wasn't exactly anything special. He was a little surprised that X never got out all that much. Well, he was surprised and he wasn't at the same time. "I think you'll like the park. It's probably as big as half the city though." He stated roughly estimating how big he thought the area was. He'd never been inside of it, but he'd seen it from a distance on certain missions. It was mostly just a rather large dome that protected the plants and wildlife that's inside it.
They managed to make it outside without anymore problems from the other Hunters, and it was a rather beautiful day. It was a little cloudy which offered shade from the sun every once in a while.

| X followed Zero, feeling fairly triumphant at his action as well as seeing Zero grin. He actually laughed a little; he'd never done something like that before. He didn't plan to make a habit of it, but he couldn't stand such a snob.
When they got outside, the first thing X did was look up at the sky. It was a beautiful, warm day, and the sky was a vibrant blue, even more so than his own armor. He looked over at Zero next; the blonde knew his way around everything, so odds are he knew where to go.

| Zero noticed that X pretty much had no idea where he was if he wasn't heading to the base or Dr. Cain's manor. "This way." He said before walking down the street more towards the center of town. He glanced around to get a reading on his surroundings. It was a habit from having to go into a mission blind and having no idea where the Maverick was. It was terrible, but a habit he couldn't exactly stop. Thankfully he only tended to do it in the center of the city where there were more people on the street.
He made sure to keep an eye out where X was as well. He didn't need the blue reploid getting lost and then him requesting X's location from the navigators. They'd just mouth off to him over the communicator. He would like to avoid as much stress as possible today.

| X followed Zero like a baby duck, looking around in awe. He'd never actually gotten a chance to explore Abel City before, so he was rather surprised at the expanse of skyscrapers and the many people--human and Reploid--that they worked so hard to protect. Some even waved to him, smiling. They didn't know who he was--at least, he didn't think so--but they didn't scorn him. It was a new experience for him. A little girl even grabbed his hand and said "Hi Mr. Bwuu Wobot!" before her mother gently led her away, though not without another smile and a wave. They all seemed...happy.
Why couldn't Hunter Base be like this?

| Zero halted when a little boy ran up to him and clung to his leg. He was crying. Zero knelt down and gently pried the little boy off him. "Hey kid, what's wrong?" He asked trying to figure out if he could do anything or not for the kid. However, before he could really react the boy had quickly switched to hugging him around his neck.
After a moment the kid pulled away enough to speak. "I-I can't find m-my m-mommy.." he said while trying to wipe away his tears. From the looks of it he was no more than six.
"Well where was the last place you were with her?" Zero asked rather determined to help the little boy. The middle of the city definitely wasn't anywhere for a kid. It might be safer than cities used to be when only humans existed, but still.
"The p-park.." He said. He was starting to get his crying under control a little bit, but still looked extremely lost and sad.
Zero smiled and picked the boy up and set him on his shoulder carefully. "We'll help you find her." he said before looking over at X again. He kept his hand up under the little boy's arm to ensure that he didn't fall. This was a side of Zero that hardly anyone ever saw, other than some of the humans within the city. And yet, he didn't really mind that X was the one Hunter that knew how he acted outside of the base. The kid seemed happy to be perched on his shoulder. Maybe it was because he was taller than everyone else that way, and he could keep a lookout for his mom.

| X paused in his steps when he saw the little boy crying, watching when Zero consoled him and offered to help find his mother. He couldn't help smiling; he could tell Zero was a good person beneath that harsh, callous facade he maintained at Hunter Base, and this proved it
"We're already on our way to the park, so it won't take long to find her, right?" he asked the blonde Hunter. Zero knew his way to the park, so he would be able to lead the way.

| "It won't take long to get to the park from here." Zero said before starting to walk to the park again. It was a normal pace, only slightly quicker. Even though the boy seemed to be content at the moment, he was more than certain his mother wouldn't be. The boy was kicking his feet back and forth and humming softly. At least he wasn't crying anymore.
Within a minute or so they were at the park, and Zero went inside and looked around. "Do you see your mother, kid?" He asked before looking at the little boy still sitting on his shoulder. "Um.." The little boy looked around a little confused. "No." He finally answered. Thankfully though, his mother spotted them and quickly ran over to the three of them.
"Thank you so much!" She said before taking the little boy off of Zero's shoulder. "Mommy!" They both were happy to be back together again. "How can I ever repay you?" She asked thinking that she would actually have to give something to the Hunter. Some of them were like that.
Zero merely shook his head. "I'm just glad to see you two safe. Just enjoy the rest of your day." He said before she thanked him again and walked off, heading towards home. He waved at them one more time before returning his attention to the blue reploid completely this time. "Sorry about that." He wasn't sure why he felt the need to apologize, but he did.

| X followed Zero to the park, smiling when he saw the little boy happily reunited with his mother. When Zero apologized, X simply tilted his head in confusion. "Why are you apologizing?" he asked. "You were doing something nice for someone. Why should anyone apologize about it?"
He smiled. "Besides...I like this side of you. I knew you were a good guy."
Before the blonde could respond to that, X had started looking around at the park. It was a rather beautiful sight. Birds were chirping happily, and the trees were rustling with squirrels and landing birds. A sparrow even flew down and landed on X's hand, chirping and looking at him cutely.

| Zero didn't bother trying to explain. He didn't really know why he had apologized himself. Regardless, a few chickadees were apparently attracted to his hair because they flew in it and sat there looking at everything from the safety of the blond's hair. Zero merely rolled his eyes and took a good look at everything. It was so different than everything was now a days. He almost wished he could've seen such a thing when it wasn't cloned.

| X giggled a little at the little birds--what were they called?--nesting in Zero's hair. It did look rather fluffy and soft...
Before he could stop himself, he had started petting Zero's hair. It was very soft and silky to the touch. He knew some Reploids had artificial hair, but it was nothing like this.
He quickly pulled his hand back, mildly embarrassed.

| The small birds had flown out of Zero's hair when X approached and he looked over his shoulder at the blue reploid. He hadn't really expected X to pet his hair and was a little confused by it. Although X seemed as though he was rather embarrassed. Next to no one got to touch his hair, mostly cause he had a bit of a fear that the other Hunters were going to cut if off. The blue reploid should feel special that he wasn't just decked outright. Then again he did try to control himself more in public. Not that he would've hit X. He had no reason to. He liked the shorter reploid a whole lot more than most other reploids.

| X stood with his hands behind his back, not at attention, but still looking away somewhat shyly. He noticed the change in Zero's expression when the blue Reploid touched his hair. "S-s-sorry, sir..." he said in a meek tone, reverting back to that shy, withdrawn personality he had when he'd first joined the Hunters up until just yesterday.

| "It's okay, X. I just wasn't really expecting that." Zero stated noticing that X had changed back to how he'd been when he first joined the Hunters. He didn't really mind X messing with his hair. Which was a bit surprising, mostly because he refused to let anyone ever touch his hair. He'd lied when he thought it was next to no one. It was absolutely no one. Other than the blue reploid next to him apparently.

| X looked back up at Zero, still a bit nervous. He didn't know why his programming made him like this; supposedly Reploids were capable of more human emotions...maybe it was because he rarely interacted with anyone and wasn't used to socializing?

| Zero rubbed X's helmet as if he were messing up the blue reploids hair and smiled. He didn't like it when X was reserved. It meant he'd have to coax him back out again in a sense. It took X a little while just to get used to being around him. He didn't want to mess that up, especially on their day off.

| X cringed away slightly when he saw Zero pick his hand up, but relaxed slightly when he placed his hand on his helmet, looking up at him shyly like a younger brother. The taller Reploid was actually very nice to him, a sharp contrast to how others treated him, namely a certain purple-clad A-Class Hunter, whose idea of "discipline" when X messed up was shooting him. Repeatedly.
