After it's been confirmed you aren't here to endanger the island and simply got here by accident, he drops the attack.

It's not long before you collapse, you were trying to play tough guy and act like you weren't severely injured and dehydrated.

You don't expect to wake up to a ceiling.

Was it a dream? The man from it sure made it feel like it was. He was insanely attractive--

"Well, well, morning, sleeping beauty."

You shot up, eyes immediately shooting over to the doorway where he casually leaned, running a hand through his black hair.

"Don't bother looking for your weapons, I have them."

"I'm a warrior, kid. If I only depended on weapons, I wouldn't be a true fighter."

He watched as you placed your cracked armor back on over your bandages, "Since my pod is the only way out of here, I'll stay on earth only until I fix my pod, then I'll leave."

Fortunately, the small toolbox you kept inside was intact.

You were confused when you were brought food and water hours later as you sat, legs crossed in front of your project.

You slowly turn and give him a puzzled look.

"I-I just figured you might have not eaten or anything... I'd rather you go home than die. My job is to protect nature, after all."

"I'm anything but natural on this planet...but...it is appreciated."

You were quite surprised how much this earth meal fueled you.

This became the routine, you'd sleep by the pod, wake, start working on the pod, and get offered food and water for lunch.

Occasionally you would see him in action, once you even assisted when galactic poachers got too close to damaging your pod.

The longer you stayed, the more you interacted.

He would check up on you, ask if you need anything to help with fixing the pod, or simply just converse with you on his breaks after work.

As time went by, your conversations got heavier

And so did your heartbeat when he'd approach you.

He'd take you away from your work sometimes.

Claimed it was only because he didn't like sitting still, and he couldn't stand staying in one place when speaking to you each time.

He showed you the animals and some of his favorite places to go

Which gave you a newfound respect for earth's nature

You noticed he'd watch you interact with animals and turn away when you saw him

And 17 would never admit that he found you adorable

Despite you being a muscled and scarred being, it was hard to see you as intimidating.

All he saw was a broken man--maybe possibly you were never truly put together to being with-- who wanted to explore, work hard, and be satisfied.

And you saw a man overcoming his past, finding his peace in the storm.

You were drawn to each other like magnets

Getting closer, closer...

...And your lips made the connection

...like magnets, it was difficult to separate until the magic of the kiss shattered.

And two men who needed to be strong, ashamed of feeling a weakening emotion such as love, stayed away from the source.

But magnets can only stay apart for so long.

You finished your pod and it was time for you to leave one night.

Despite you working so hard to fix it...you didn't want to leave.

During the duration of your stay...you found yourself with something to live for...

Someone to live for.

You played it off, "17...I--I know I should go after all this time, but, you know, if you want me here or whatever, I'll stay."

"Right...you finished it. You can go ahead...it's not like I'll miss you or anything..."

He put on a facade.

You were terrible liars, you both realized your own untruthfulness as you stared into each other's eyes.

"Can you stay?"

"Be my boyfriend."

....

Cue warm faces.

But in the end, the impulsiveness saved you two.

Because you did just that.

You crash landed into each other's lives
