"Were you crying? Why?” [ - silencedxscience ]

Wheatley shook his head when he sniffled, hands over his face as quickly as possible to hide the proof that he had been crying.. Eventually, though, he gave up hiding his reddened eyes and nose. "I-I.. I get scared over silly things, d-don't worry about me.. I'll be ffine, yeah?"

A shaky smile and complementary laugh came from him, although it only made him appear more upset. He bit back his unnecessary apologies, knowing well that it'd only make things worse.

"What's wrong?" || -silencedxscience || ((have another thing while I force myself to do my drafts aha))

((Haha alright - Good luck))

8. “It hurts.”

His hands stayed pressed over his eyes as he groaned and mumbled to himself. Her touch was barely noticed as he stayed still. "Everything burns and aches in my head. It hurts, luv.. It hurts a lot.." These human bodies truly couldn't have any pain tolerance, did it? Fire swelled in his temples while the bones structure of his long face - he cheekbones and the front/sides of his skull, mainly - felt as if they were the reason for all this aching and burning. He tried to lift his hands away from his eyes, glancing to the side, but he groaned again, eyes shutting quickly at the sharp aches at his temples. "Ow-ow.. Ow.. Why does this hurt? Chell, this really hurts, what do I do..??"

"You know, sometimes I wonder how you didn't go insane from being trapped up there in space for so long." || - silencedxscience || (( do with this what you will; have fun.))

“I ask myself the same question, actually. Thing is, I might - I might still be! You never know!  I might still be mad.

At myself. Or in the uh, other sense. The one that escapes me.”

“I gave you your chance, and you used it to stab me in the back...” || - silencedxscience ||

The unnaturally indigo gaze he held on her flickered a few times at her words, like a light threatening to turn off seconds before a power shortage. "I know.. I know and I am so... Sorry. I am truly, horribly sorry about what I did back there." His mouth hung open, gaze flicking over to watch the floor with knitted brows. "I... I.."

The flickering of his optics only increased in speed as he racked his mechanical brain for words or an emotion to focus on.. But the only result for such an overwhelming task was a low whine that rose from the back of his throat. He took a shaky intake of breath before looking up at her, only to look down, both arms crossing over his chest anxiously. "I never meant to hurt you.. An--and don't think I want you to forgive me.. I, I don't deserve a happy ending after all that I've done, I'm very, very aware.. I betrayed you and.." An odd noise made his body shudder and nearly break down as he watched his vision cloud up. He forced himself to talk again, but it came out sounding watery and eerily human. "Do you want with me, j-just don't throw me back i-into... I-Into.." Space.

Chell finally looked up at him, lips curved into the slightest smirk. He'd been staring at her for quite some time now, she'd noticed, and she'd given up on waiting for him to do something about it and decided to take initiative herself. A single brow was raised just a bit as she spoke. "Any particular reason why you've been looking at me like that for the past ten minutes? What, trying to get up the nerve to kiss me?" She teased, in a lighthearted mood. ((- silencedxscience )) ((havE CHELLEY))

He couldn't help but observe the way she held herself as she sat beside him, or the way her hair framed her face. In all honesty, he just wanted to pull out the ponytail to run his fingers through the dark hair. He had touched her hair only once, and never had he expected it to be to smooth due to the wisps of the hair that always collected at her temples.

When she spoke, the voice nearly jolted him out of his seat. "Wh-what? No! ... No! Wh-why would I, ahaha! Kiss you? No, that-that's bloody insane! I, umm.." How fast his ears flushed was incredibly comical when he tried to piece together what exactly to say to Chell. She seemed rather playful today..

"I was trying to figure you out, yeah? Is that a good enough excuse?" He tried to be friendly and teasing like her by nudging her arm with a pointy elbow.

    Never in her wildest dreams did she ever expect to see him again. Perhaps the shock was even evident in her usually expressionless features. Maybe he was just a mirage of some sort, a picture conjured by her guilt-laden mind.

Maybe it wasn’t even him, who knew. But the sight brought back memories in full force and she wasn’t quite sure what to do; body overriding mind, she simply–

               –stared. Silent. Unmoving. Waiting for him to make the next move.

Wheatley had gone yet another day trudging mindlessly through tall wheat and reeds. It was only days ago that he gave up actively looking for signs of human life on the surface and began focusing more on the little things just to entertain himself: if he was tired, he’d stop every so often to gaze over a lake, or sometimes he’d just park under a tree and watch the sunset before powering down for the night.

It was boring. 

All of this freedom felt empty and surreal without any one else to talk to and keep him grounded to reality. For all he knew, he could still be up in space in his little core body, orbiting endlessly around the Earth’s moon. Any moment now, he’d wake up and find out this was all some hyper realistic ‘Earth Simulation’. He damn sure would have begun to believe it too, if his wandering hadn’t led him to her just now.

Her, yes, her, the lady. The woman from the lab. He could have sworn back and forth that was her standing not a few metres from him.

He froze just as fast as she had, unwillingly submitting himself into a two-way stare down. As he studied her, his lights began to glow brighter in a mix of excitement and fear. She appeared different somehow--at least different than she had appeared back in the lab, but it was definitely her, and damn, he felt horrible.

More than anything, he wanted to rush over there and... touch her: like a hug or something--ANYTHING to just make sure she was actually there--but he hadn’t said sorry or even apologized for any of those horrible, monstrous things he’d done and he’s not even sure if he articulately could.

His mouth opened to speak but he stopped. He wasn’t even sure if she would recognize him in this silly looking android body anyway. In fact, she seemed pretty defensive, as if she was poised to attack. There was no telling how she would react to some weird entity just throwing apologies at her, so he figured he should at least try and take it slow.

Hesitantly, he lifts a hand and waves, giving the gesture an accompanying sheepish smile.

Simple, but hopefully effective. Please, God, let this work.

Aperture.

     It was the place that started it all.

     The Frostaroan could hardly believe she was back here after all this time. On Earth, of all places. would her old office be there? She wondered, as her boots crunched through the dry stalks of wheat as she approached the tiny shack. At least, that’s what it appeared to be, anyway. In reality, it could be compared to a gateway to hell. 

     Opening the door, she sighed, staring down the cold, metallic elevator with a look of definite curiosity, yet a fair amount or reluctance. Did she really want to do this? Did she want to see what-if anything-still resided below? After a few more moments, she eventually decided to take the final step, fully entering the lift, and shutting the door. What the hell? she already came all this way, why not waste the trip? the Frostaroan asked herself, as the automatic sequencing booted up, and the lift descended into the depths below, the only sound the paint scraping of metal cables and framework along the shaft, rusty from disuse.

Bugs ((Closed RP with SilencedXScience

There was a bug present underground. In a massive facility, the creature had evaded security protocols as it crept along walls and catwalks and scaffolding, as panels moved around with surround detection.

It slipped through a grate and made its way into an elevator shaft, crawling down and breaking the glass doorway blocking him out from a landing.

It forced the doors open with its hands and bit cameras off their hinges and wires before it hid quietly, hearing the elevator come down with a person inside.
