Stay (Spova)

Description: No one else was HER Sprx...

Characters: Human! Sprx and Nova. Spova.

                                                                        Stay

                She didn't really know what exactly she saw in the buffoon. He was infuriating!!! If it wasn't one thing, it was another. He just made her so mad. She was in a constant state of wanting to hit him! The worst thing was that she didn't even know what exactly he did that made her mad. Maybe it was that cocky smirk. Or maybe it was the way those chocolate brown eyes knew just how to pierce right into her very soul. Or maybe it was the way that somehow, his hair managed to fall perfectly over those eyes, always making her want to move it. Or maybe it was the daredevilish way he flew that ship of his.

                Speaking of which....

                "SPRX! You could have DIED!" she growled at him, referring to the particularly dangerous move he had done that morning.

                "But I didn't. You know I'd never leave you hangin', Novs." He smiled that smile then, the cocky one that definitely made her mad, and not weak in the knees.

                Her mouth was set in a firm line. "It's bad enough you're in the line of fire all the time! Now you have to go pulling these ridiculous stunts?!"

                "They aren't ridiculous," he protested. "They're fun. And believe me, I take all the proper precautions and everything. When I was in Flight School, I was told always to act like there were passengers in the ship I was driving, and to exercise caution. Believe me, I ran that trick so many times in the simulator, I was almost sick of doing it. I made sure it was perfect." His eyes did that thing, were they pierced right into her, and she was sure that he could see every inner thought that she had.

                A snarl passed her lips. "I don't care!" She knew her cheeks were red with anger. "It was dangerous!"

                He shook his head, and chuckled. "You're adorable when you're mad."

                Nova threw her hands up in the air. "You are so infuriating!"

                He just laughed.

                She growled, throwing her communicator at him with all of her might, but luckily for him, he dodged just in the nick of time, causing the communicator to crash into the wall and bust into a million little tiny pieces. Sprx stared at it for a moment. Nova expected him to give her a wide-eyed, fearful gaze, like he had before they had begun to date.

                "You should let Otto know you need a comminucator," he said simply, flashing her a cocky smile, before giving a half wave and walking out of the room.

                She watched him, half-tempted to let her jaw drop to the ground like it so desired.

                The very next morning, she told him that she wanted to talk about the previous night's fight. He called back -- in his room, getting ready -- that he'd be out in a sec.

                "Alrighty then. Let's talk," he said.

                She turned to glance at him, and immediately burst into peals of laughter. Dressed in the usual training attire -- red t-shirt, gym shorts -- he had come out, but with an addition. A helmet.

                He grinned at her. "What?"

                She just shook her head, blonde hair swinging as she held her sides. "I love you," she grinned at him.

                He grinned right back. "I love you too, babe."

                Instead of correcting him, she pressed her lips against his for a brief moment. "Forget about talking about it. It's resolved."

                He chuckled. "Like the helmet?"

                "Handsome," she chuckled.

                His grin widened. "Glad ya think so."

                "Can I demand something?"

                "You? Demanding? Practically unheard of!" he smirked.

                She hit him upside the head, bubblegum pink eyes rolling. "Shut up, idiot. Anyways, my demand is that you stay by my side. Forever."

                "Where else would I go?" he tilted his head to the side, those red bangs falling perfectly in front of his eyes. "Nobody else is going to be near as funny when they're mad."

                She growled, and he laughed, taking off running down the hall. She followed swiftly behind him.

                Now she knew exactly what she saw in him. No one else would find her throwing communicators and the like at them. No one else would no just what buttons to push. No one else had his smile. No one else had those eyes. No one else was so incredibly stupid.... No one else was so in love with her that they had stayed by her side for years, tolorating her insults and punches, and still believing one day they would get together.

                No one else was her Sprx.
