You just keep thinking that, Rockie. Your brother’s just going to walk next to you failing to pretend he’s not internally dying without his scarf. Some Robot Master…
“A date? Really?” Proto raised an eyebrow. “As long as it’s not with any of the Wilybots, I know some of ‘em have been eyeing her. I know there aren’t a ton of female robots around, but nobody under Wily’s command is good enough for our sis!”
And he meant that. If he ever saw one of his allies hitting on her, he’d punch them out. Heck, he’d already had to punch out a few Wilybots who’d been hitting on Rock! Seriously though- if Metal Man hadn’t discovered Bomb Man and moved away from Rock, Proto probably would’ve turned him into scrap metal.
…A thought occurred to him. “Y’don’t think that’s why she hasn’t told you, do ya? It’d sure explain why she thinks you’d spy on ‘em.” For the record, Proto would join him. Again: Roll was too good for anyone with a DWN designation number!
…Though, to be fair, she’d probably know better. After all, after the fiasco with Top Man during that university plot (pfft: a university of high school stereotypes and another excuse for Dr. Light to stroke his own ego), she’d surely go for someone less plainly obviously going to betray her?
“So she says, anyways.”
The younger of the two shrugs, though can’t help raising a brow at his brother’s words. Not out of irritation, mind, but confusion. Since when does Proto Man care about their sister’s love life? It’s not like he disagrees with him-- There is no Wilybot good enough for Roll, definitely not! -- but...
It’s Proto Man. Rock thought he’d consider himself above what was going on with their sis... Or even with him.
“They have? Really? Uh, who? Just-- Just out of curiosity.” And so that if he ever happens to see ‘em, he can give the scumbot a warning.
...
Oh, no. Now that Blues has brought it up, the thought of Roll secretly dating a Wilybot won’t leave his head. It makes too much sense-- Why else wouldn’t she tell her twin brother where she was going, or with whom?
“Please don’t say that. It makes too much sense, and now I’m never gonna be able to let this go. I mean, if she really wants to go ahead and date one of you guys, I guess I can’t complain so long as they’re treating her right... But it’d sure help to know who’s butt to kick if it all goes down the drain!”
Sigh. Why’d he have to go and bring this up? The younger brother looks a little worried now, when really he’d just been hoping to spend some time with his estranged sibling and maybe get along with him. Just a little.
