13's optics flickered to life as she arose from her bed. she stretched a bit before noticing 24 sitting on a box, fast asleep. she walked over to him before carefully pulling his hat from over his optics. she smiled mischievously as she noticed he did not wake and grabbed his hat. she slipped it on then scurrying out the open drawer.

after climbing  out of the drawer she walked over to Xero's bed. she gazed sadly at his limp, scared, small body. "come on, Xero, wake up, " she whispered, " we need you!"

just then 33 walked up, putting her hand on 13's shoulder. "don't worry," she said encouragingly, "he is a strong one. he will not give up on us that easily. give him time."

"but mother, its been almost 3 weeks! im starting to think he will never wake up..." replied 13 remorsefully, " and its my fault! i should have never let him go out there! i should have never ran! it should have been ME, not HIM!"

"don't say that! you had no idea this would happen!" reassured 33.

"right... your right..." sighed 13, pulling 24's hat over her optics. she thanked 33 before heading outside. she walked up a pile of rubble and sat on a rusted tin can sitting on the top. she looked out to the distance, spotting three tall shapes. after a few minutes she heard a sound from behind. she tuned to see 24 standing behind her.

"how long have you been there?" she asked.

"i just got here," he replied before pulling his hat of 13's head and putting it on. " oh, and i want this back! ha ha, and you thought i wouldn't notice?"

13 shrugged before turning back. he sat down nest to her, leaning close.
"hey, you ok? you seem sad. you are NEVER this quiet!" he asked, trying to cheer her up a bit.
"im ok. just a bit worried about Xero. he has been out for a while now..."

24 rested his arm around 13's shoulders, pulling her close. he gazed into her optics, trying to make eye contact.
"now listen. he will be fine, and i know this for a fact! he is not the kind of guy that gives up this easily, ok? cheer up!"  he said firmly. she nodded, looking down. he softly kissed her cheek before hugging her. they sat there, silently, watching the sunrise.

after a little while the went back inside. they climbed back into their room where they spent the rest of the day talking. 13 was sprawled out in the floor, drawing, as 24 sat next to her. it was quiet until 24 got up and turned on an old radio. after hours of chatting, drawing, and listening to old 80's music, they decided to go to bed. 13 climbed into her bed and 24 returned to his usual box.
"why do you always sleep there?" asked 13, noticing the pattern, "you can sleep with me, if you want.
"wha- really?" exclaimed 24, looking up at 13.
"yeah. its lonely sleeping alone all the time..." she replied tiredly.
"ok," he shrugged, hopping in next to her. she cuddled up next to him before noticing a green glow between them. they looked at each other, surprised, but didn't really think anything of it. they would just ask 33 about it tomorrow morning.
okokok.
its been a LOOOOOOOONG time sense the last chapter.
5 months, actually.

so, during that 3 weeks, 33 becomes a motherly figure to 13 like with 2 and 5.
ALSO 24 and 13 form a strong, loving bond. XD they are now "soul bound", but dont know it ([link] for more info)
