"We could kiss right now, and no one would know..." B) ♥
"Yes, I suppose we could...” Metal replies absentmindedly, honestly more interested in the holographic mini-map they’d uncovered than whatever it was Bomb had to say. It’s not that he doesn’t really care, it’s that they’re currently hiding out in the Temple of the freaking Moon with stolen information and no clear way out yet! Artemis or Apollo could find them at any moment, and there is no way an industrial model and a combat robot with horrendously fragile armour would be able to take on the two commanders of the Constellation army...
It was a shame Proto Man was under too heavy supervision to recue while they were here, but such a thing would be best left to Mega Man or Forte.... And now they’d have all the information they needed to do it-- And that map! Meanwhile, counterattacks and sabotages could be made against the invading army, and they’d be three steps ahead--!
...It’s only now that he processes what he’s just agreed with, and Metal seriously regrets having let his face plate down.
“W-wait, I mean-- What did you-- We could...?! I--”
Bomb Man would be treated to his partner’s face going as red as the armour he wore, antennae on his helmet drooping as he stammers out gibberish in an attempt to determine whether the DLN was joking or not-- and how much he knew. Had he noticed Metal’s crush on him, or was he just playing around--?!
Oh, he hopes that his father isn’t paying too much attention right now... Talk about embarrassing!
