Any newly romanced Male companion (includes even non romances as a romance) reacting to seeing the Sole cry for the first time??
Danse: At first, he didn’t know Sole had stopped. He kept on walking. He heard the sniffles. He turned back around to see him. Just standing there. Face in his elbow and shaking. Danse knew what it was. He was apprehensive at first. Then he remembered; how much Sole was there for him. How much Sole helped Danse get over his weak moments. Danse stepped out of his power armor, and silently hugged Sole. He pulled Sole into the warm hug, and he stayed there, holding him. Sole just closed his eyes, and embraced the hug. He’d never wanting anything more in his life. “Everything alright...honey?” Danse asked, making sure that Sole was fine. “Yeah...everything’s fine now.”
Deacon: They were just talking. Talking about everything that’s gone on so far. They were smiling. They were having a great time. Then Deacon mentioned something about the institute. Sole stopped laughing, but Deacon continued. He didn’t know that what he was saying was something that still affected Sole. Deacon turned to him, when he realized that Sole wasn’t laughing anymore. “Boss...Oh gosh, I’m sorry…” Deacon said, realizing that Sole was wiping the tears from his eyes. “No it’s okay Deacon. I just...I just got to get used to losing fa….Shaun.” Deacon wrapped his arms around Sole, “We lose people, and it sucks...but luckily, we also find new people. New people to love.” Deacon said, a smile growing on Sole’s face.
Preston: They finished clearing out the ghouls in the new settlement. Both he and Preston. They needed more spaces for more settlers. They were moving the ghoul bodies out and into the ground. They were never given proper burials. Sole just dropped the body he was carrying. He fell to his knees. He yelled, tears rolling down his face. Preston noticed this and ran to his side. “General what’s wrong?” Preston asking, holding onto Sole’s shaking body.“I’m tired of all this Preston. I feel like nothing’s changing. No matter what we do, or how much we do, we never get anywhere. Why do we even bother?” Sole kept on crying. Preston raised Sole’s head and made eye contact with him. “Hey. It may seem tough. It may seem that it’s not worth it. But it is, honey. It always will be worth it, no matter how dark it may seem” Preston ended the sentence with a kiss. After they parted, Sole smiled at Preston. “Thank you, honey.”
Hancock: They were finally cleaning up Sole’s old house. Sole’s been wanting to do this for a while now, and he wanted Hancock there.Sole’s house was filthy and there was junk everywhere. Hancock found a holotape that wasn’t labeled. He went to Sole’s PipBoy, and played it. Hey Honey…it started to play. Sole froze when he heard that voice. Hancock continued to listen to it, when Sole came and grabbed his pipboy, tears running down his face. He stopped the recording. “I’m sorry Sunshine.” Hancock said, wrapping his arms around Sole, letting Sole rest his head on his Shoulder. “It’s not your fault...It’s mine.” Sole said, crying. Hancock rubbed Sole’s back. “It was never your fault. Life’s hard out here. What’s important is that you fight back. It’s what I always say, Sunshine, when life give your lemons, you throw them back at them, in full force speed.” Sole laughed and he kissed Hancock.
X6-88: “X6...do you think I made the right decision?” Sole asked X6-88, when Sole was staring at the institute. His institute. “Yes sir...you did.” X6 responded, walking straight up behind Sole. All he could do was chuckle. “Do you really mean that, X6...or are you programmed to say that?” Sole said, tears rolling down his face. He was happy that he was able to meet Shaun, he just wished he had more time with him. “Sir...if I may…” X6 placed his hands on Sole’s shoulders. He slowly spun Sole around and brought him in for a hug. Sole was surprised by this. “I mean this from my heart. You taught me a lot, Sole. You taught me how to be who I am today. You are a great person, and I’m sure that you’ll be an excellent leader.” X6 pulled in Sole for a kiss. An awkward kiss, but netherless a kiss. Sole chuckled and grabbed X6’s face. “Thank you...X6.”
Maccready: He didn’t know where the tears came from. They were drinking, like they’ve been doing for some time now. Some nights it was just a drink or two. Some nights, it was a full fledged night of drinking. Tonight was the latter. They were drinking and Sole started to cry. It just came out of nowhere. “Aww c’mon boss...now’s not the time for tears. Come on, drink so more.” MacCready offered the bottle to Sole, but Sole pushed it away. MacCready sighed, and wrapped his arms around Sole, placing Sole’s head on his chest. “Hey...it’s alright, we all go through a lot, we fall...and we get back up. We’ll be fine alright.” MacCready said, laying a kiss on top of Sole’s head. Sole smiled, and rested his head in MacCready’s chest. They fell asleep holding onto each other.
Nick: “We don’t have to do this if you don’t want to Sole?” Nick said, grabbing onto Sole’s hand. Sole looked at him, a small smile growing on his face. “I want to do this...for him, Nick.” Sole said, squeezing Nick’s hand. Nick returned that soft smile. They got to the cyro pods. Sole opened up his late husbands pod. He let the memories hit him. The tears started flooding his eyes. “I wish I could of saved him.” Sole whimpered. Nick pulled Sole in. Sole just stayed crying into Nick’s chest. Nick held him, never letting go. They buried him. Sole and Nick. When it was all done, Sole just sat by the grave, the tears returning. Nick placed his coat over Sole’s shoulders, and he sat down with him. He placed his arm around Sole’s shoulder and brought him in again. “It’s alright. He’s in a better place now. You can cry if you want to.” Nick said, kissing Sole on top of his forehead. Sole just placed his face into Nick’s shoulder and wept.
Gage: Gage has never really been in a serious relationship. Just partners here and there. Nothing too serious. So when he saw that Sole was crying, he didn’t really know how to react to it. He just sat there, trying to do something. Nothing was coming to him. He finally decided to go with a memory. “Hey...honey...everything alright?” He asked, placing a hand on Sole’s shoulder. He rubbed it, trying to console Sole. Let him know that he was there. Sole wiped his eye and looked at Gage, a smile forming in his face. “Everything’s fine, Gage. I’m sorry.” Gage smirked, “Darling, there’s no need to be sorry. Something happened, and it’s alright. C’mon, let me sing you a song my mamma used to sing to me when I was scared.” Sole embraced the hug and Gage started to softly sing to Sole. Gage didn’t realize that he started to tear up as well.
