#cryptoxwattson

Some cuties ♡

-These two are both geniuses, but they grew up in very different environments.

-Wattson is an only child who had her father. With his passing, she found that she only had her apex family left.

-Crypto has taken a liking to her since she almost reminded him of Mila, she was sweet and smart. Just as Wattson.

-So when he joined the legendary ranks he instantly made it a point to not not talk to her. As it would rude not to.

-Plus he was a huge fan of hers so he now always watches the mastermind of traps.

-But she is also vulnerable most plays she does. Often camping and gathering recon she is left completely clear. So in these events, he is always watching her back.

-Which means he puts himself in a noticeable position should someone try to sneak up on her. He wants to be shot first as he is doing his own recon.

-Most times they win the attack and Wattson always apologizes for her fences not doing their job or anything related to her tech.

-She wants to protect everyone but sometimes it fails. Crypto wants to protect her, and it’s hard when she would rather put herself at risk.

"You and Wraith." Crypto look.

"?! You and Wattson!" Mirage tried to give an excuse to change the subject.

"Hey! Don't worry about it. I'm sure you'll do fine. She enjoys your company." Mirage spoke.

"You think so?" Crypto look at him in the eyes.

"Hey I seen how she compliments your drone all the time. Plus she's always saying electric puns to you. Both help each other in the arena and she calls you mon cheri which is french for... Uh... Honey or love? I'm not sure sounds adorable when she addresses you." He had an honest smile.

"So where is she?" Mirage wonder.

"Drop ship fixing fences." Crypto respond.

After a while of talking to Mirage.

"Maybe you should go. It's getting late and I have to close the bar soon." Mirage respond.

Crypto paid leaving the bar, Wraith walking in.

"H...h..hey Wraith!" Mirage spoke.

Crypto receive a notification on his phone seeing a message.

-💕Watson⚡

Bonjour! Crypto how are you :D

I'm fine,on my way.

Oh hey! Thanks for giving me company.

He wonder looking at the message confused. He felt his phone buzzing, a notification it was a picture. It was wattson with Hack, he smile. He saved the picture then kept reading.

Hacks been very helpful

Oh, I guess I forgot to turn him off

I didn't know Hack could talk

Hack doesn't talk

It spoke in a female voice saying Mila. First I got worried but then excited that Hack can be used as a communication device. 😲

Crypto stop right on his tracks surprised he read the word Mila. As if he didn't believe it, was his eyes playing tricks on him. He felt his body freeze up.

Did she say anything else?

She ask if there was someone called T. But I said I didn't know, she also said that shes alive? Which was very odd? Is hack sentient? 🤔

Crypto ran getting inside the ship then went  looking around for Wattson. He found her with Hack on a table charging to a computer. She seem happy watching the drone. She turn around seeing Crypto his eyes had tears running down his face.

"Mon chéri are you alright?" Wattson look at Crypto worried.

She wonder if he was hurt or if something bad had happened on his way. She's never seen him so hurt before.

"What did Mila told you. Is she safe?!" Crypto place both hands on her shoulder terrified.

"She said she's safe she got away from them?" She spoke.

Crypto felt a weight lift up from his shoulders. He sat down on a sofa remaining silent looking at Hack. He began to think getting lost in his own thoughts.

"Are you alright?" Wattson got close to him.

He made a small nod looking away, maybe he wanted to be alone?

"I'll get you some water." She respond walking away.

He held her left hand stopping her, she felt his grip tighten, she notice as his face remained emotionless but she could read him like a book. He seem terrified as if he saw a ghost but it seem different he also revealed he was sad. Wattson saw him with tears running down his face reaching his metallic chin. She open her arms out for a brief moment he just look surprised by her actions, he moved towards her and hug her hiding his face on her jacket.  She pat his head softly.

"Its alright Mon Chèri." She spoke reassuring crypto.

Cryptos grip tighten hugging her. She could feel his body shake a bit.

"Do you want to talk about?" She wonder.

He shake his head sideways standing up.

"Qui I know what can get your mind of things! How about cooking or reading a book!" She smile.

"No thanks..." He left.

She saw him walk out. His actions remind her of the way they meet. He would push people away and was always serious. She was actually shy and worried working with him as a team. She felt intimidated by him all the time even in the arena the sound of his drone scanning the area and patrolling made her worry. It would always take away her fences and traps she would have set up. One time she was with crypto while octane decided to rush. It was so silent, it felt as if there was no way to break it.

Wattson shake her head and look at him as he was crouching down watching what the drone sees.

"I love how your drone has an electro magnetic pulse? Did you design it yourself?" She looked at Crypto smiling.

"Yeah I did" He respond silent.

"What's the name of your little drone?" Wattson look at him.

"Hack." He respond.

"You named your hacker drone hack? That's funny." She giggle.

He look at her making a small smile then looking away hiding it.

"What's your name?" She ask.

"Crypto." He respond silent.

"Oh.... Uh. My name is Natalie Paquette" She smiled looking at him.

"Nice to meet you." He went back to his drone loosing interest.

"Are you always like this? Treating people with a cold shoulder?" She went straight to the point.

Crypto look at his screen then at her.

"What?" He look at her.

"I been trying to find a conversation with you but you just-?!" He cover her mouth catching her off guard.

"Shush." He respond.

Wattson heard footsteps followed by her fences alerting both of them.

"There coming." He spoke.

After a fight they end up winning.

"How shocking was that!" She clapped her hands together.

"That was a close one." Crypto clean some sweat off his forehead.

She smile looking at him. She could have sworn they both look at each other in the eyes for a brief minute. She snap awake from her thoughts and began blushing when she remember seeing his first sincere smile. She notice hack was almost fully charged next to her computer she picked it up going to him. She look worried thinking, what to tell him. She knock on the door waiting patiently for an answer. She held hack and saw the door open.

"You look like you could use some company." She smile.

"I'm fine Nat." Crypto look at hack grabbing it going inside.

"No your not! That look on your face worried me. The woman that spoke must mean something very important to you." She spoke held his hand.

Crypto look surprise at her. Her soft hands tighten against his. He look at his drone and computer.

"I'm here for you mon'chéri." Wattson respond worried.

He took a sigh and let her walk inside his room.

"Forever family." He spoke looking away at Hack.

She look curious as she walk inside the room following crypto.

"Mila is family. I thought she was dead im glad shes alive." Crypto spoke.

"Im so glad those are great news!" She spoke sitting down on the sofa watching crypto.

Crypto place his drone on the desk connecting to the computer extracting all information it had.

"Problem is, shes going to get found out..." He spoke.

"I'm sure she will be fine." She respond.

"Yea..." Crypto spoke.

After a long night of talking Wattson end up falling asleep on his sofa. Crypto look at her placing a blanket on her, he sat down on the computer trying to track Mila's communication. His eyes widen when he saw Kings Canyon. He felt a hand on his shoulder startling him.

"You stayed up all night?!" Wattson spoke surprised.

Crypto look at her. His face had massive eye bags, he look very tired. She got him off the chair drag him to the sofa covering him in a blanket.

"I can't rest now." Crypto spoke.

Wattson look at him in the eyes covering him in the blanket.

"I'll help you find her if you want." She smiled.

"I don't want them to take you, just like they did to her." Crypto look exhausted.

She lied down next to him on the sofa.

"They won't I promise." She spoke.

Crypto close his eyes feeling Wattson up close to his face.

"Thank you." He spoke.

As he drift to sleep he felt soft lips pressing against his forehead.

"Sleep well." He heard followed by a French lullaby.

He closed his eyes.

"Yo wake up!! Crypy!!" He heard his door burst open.

Crypto lift up his head looking at the door pissed.

"?Too loud." Crypto and Mirage both heard.

Crypto straight up forgot Wattson was sleeping with him.

"Oh!? My god?! You champ!" Mirage teased.

Crypto threw his pillow at Mirage,  he closed the door laughing. Wattson rub her eyes looking at Crypto.

She look back, she invited crypto but he was to busy upgrading his drone trying to find something and he kept pushing her away whenever she invited him for activities. His always in his room, she wondered if he even liked her around. She look down a bit and kept watching tv.

She took a sigh and stood up walking to Tae room. She gave a knock. He was swearing in Korean for a while. The door open surprising her. He look at her and rolled his eyes about to walk away.

"I could help you." She smile.

"I don't need it." He spoke stubborn.

He closed the door before she held it surprising him.

"Please." She smiled.

He took a sigh and let her into his room. As she entered his room she looked around. She saw a curious Korean mask which peak her interest. Everything was clean and organized. He sat down on a computer with wires attached to his drone on a table.

She follow Crypto, watching what he did. She walk and saw as he was typing on the computer. She saw some bolts sticking out of the drone all loose. She grab a toolbox located on the side of the table and began fixing the drone.

Crypto look at Wattson as she happily repaired the drone. Crypto made a small smile.

"I knew you could smile." She spoke noticing.

Crypto got serious and look at the computer typing.

Crypto made a nod watching what movie to choose while Wattson made popcorn. Crypto got interested in an alien movie. Which was pretty interesting for him. Its been such a long time since he saw movies. He remember when he would see a monster movie he would always pay attention to the monster. How they work, how did they arrive into that movies universe how they function. Then again if he would watch a bad movie he and someone he used to know would make fun of it.

He snap back from his thoughts. As he heard wattson take a few steps.

"Cool! What did you choose?" She ask.

As she sat down she read the title "Monsters in ship" she took a nervous look at Crypto. He look at her she just smiled and sat down next to him. She sat close so he could grab some popcorn. After a while Wattson was shaking like a leaf scared holding on to the popcorn while crypto just watched casually as if nothing happened, not even jumping by the sudden jump scare.

"Ya, are you alright?" Crypto noticed as she was nervous and trying to hide behind the popcorn.

To cryptos perspective she was basically on the sofa leaning down to her left side where he was on her right was a nessie plush being held. Crypto look at the movie then at Wattson.

"Why did you change it?" She ask.

"Your very scared, I don't want you to lose sleep over this silly thing." He respond.

She look surprised, he actually cares about her even though his been pushing her away all this time. She held his jacket softly making a small smile. His jacket was very warm. Crypto changed the movie to something more light hearted and family friendly which took her interest. Crypto wasn't that big of a fan of the genre romantic comedy isn't his thing.

He look at Wattson she seemed to enjoy the animated movie more than he did. He made a small smile as she leaned to him. He was focused on her keeping an eye out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Wattson maybe you should stop drinking." Crypto spoke in a soft voice his eyes looking at the blond woman in front of him taking another cold cocktail on her hands.

She held it feeling the cold on her fingertips making a small warm smile as she drank it then looking at Crypto in the eyes as she kept speaking in french cocky and confident almost even flirty. He didn't understand a single word she spoke do to the language block they both had with one another. He saw as she stood up walking towards him. Once she made her way to him on the sofa. She open her arms and embraced him in a hug.She became very affectionate.

"Oh crypto." She spoke looking up at him.

Her voice soften as she place her head against his shoulder. He made a small smile. She began to touch his hair feeling how surprisingly soft it was.

"You know mon'cheri." Her voice trail on.

Crypto look at her in the eyes gently touching her face moving a piece of hair away. She held his hand smiling her soft lips puckered a bit, her face felt very warm as he look at her blue eyes he felt like he got lost in them, her smile sent a wave of happiness he didn't knew how to explain it. He look a bit surprise then look away. Crypto didn't know what he was doing. He never was one to show affection to Wattson and if he did it was very rare since shes the one that always engages. But right now in the state she was in she seem like she was doing it direct and on purpose. Almost as if she was messing with him which made him fall for it.

"I love you so much Tae." She spoke getting his attention, her eyes slowly blink at his.

As she close her eyes and open them again she sat down on his lap surprising him by her sudden action. She lean close to his face as she place her hands on his chest locking eyes with him. Her soft hands made there way to his arms then the back of the neck. She held on him for support she kept blushing really bad.

"You know what I think." Natalie spoke breaking the silence.

"What?" Crypto ask curious in his tone as his eyes lock into hers feeling relaxed.

"I.....think...Pardon No....I know! I'm very lucky to have you. You are a proton and I an electron. We attract each other." She spoke leaning closer giggling.

Crypto chuckle a bit understanding her joke. He felt her lean closer to him. Just when there faces where inches apart. He could feel her breath and her perfume gently rub on his face. She place her forehead against his smiling. Crypto kept staying calm as she moved to kiss him. He close his eyes following her lead, she close her eyes and fell asleep suddenly placing her head against his right shoulder. Crypto open his eyes looking with a blank expression expecting the kiss but it wasn't even there. He made a small pout looking a bit sad, then he felt her move to his chest sleeping murmuring a few french words at least understanding or having an idea of what they meant. Which was I love you.

"Come on Nat. Lets get you to bed." He spoke softly exhausted.

He pick her up from the couch walking to her room. As he made way to the room he could have sworn he heard footsteps aside from his. The hallway was all empty it was just him and Nat's. Was he hallucinating again? He hasn't gotten a proper sleep in so long he forgot what it was to rest on a soft bed as he open the automatic door using her card. He made his way to her bed. He gently place her on the soft comfortable bed. He move the bed sheets covering her in them but before he fully covered her, he took off her shoes, cleaned her face from a bit of makeup she had on herself. Then gave her a small kiss on the cheek as he walk off to his room. Holding his neck with his left arm making a small sigh as he got lost in his thoughts.

"Noo." He heard and felt his right hand getting pulled back.

He look at her she was so drunk holding his hand. The room was so dark he couldn't exactly see her face but saw small features do to a soft blue light being emitted by her alarm clock located on a table next to her bed.

"Nat.. You have to rest." He look at her.

"If you leave I won't rest!" She protest looking at him squinting her eyes.

He didn't want her to stay up. So he might as well not bother with her in this state.

"Joh-a.... I'll stay with you okay." Crypto yawn a bit tired.

"You...better!" She spoke drowsy.

She pat her pillow on her right side of the bed and close her eyes tired.

He laid down on the bed next to her giving some space until she decide to break it by hugging his left arm. He felt so cold which made her seek for it.

The room felt really cold Crypto made sure not to move to much until he felt her move closer to him. Her left leg lift up against his while her right leg went below in a comfortable position. She place her face close to him getting comfortable her ear tp his chest. Her hand placed near her face feelimg the fabric of his shirt.

"So.....how....you! K..knew I had a crush on you..?" She wonder lifting her head up looking at him in the eyes.

Crypto made a small sigh letting the pillow hypnotize him by how comfortable it felt as he closed his eyes. He hasn't felt this in a while, totally beats sleeping on a couch all the time. Drunk Nat broke the silence again snapping him awake. He closed his eyes trying to sleep but couldn't.

"...Is it true you don't sleep and you run on coffe only?" She mumble drunk.

"Nat.... Please go to sleep." He gently rubbed the back of her head feeling her soft hair against his hand.

"But, how can I fall asleep if I don't want this wonderful night to end...... Is it true your a paranoid weirdo? Mirage always calls you that? Do I stress you.." She spoke mumbling blinking looking at him at this point she was mumbling but she was paying attention to him.

"Everyday is wonderful spending time with you. You take away all my paranoia and stress.... You even make me feel safe." He spoke.

As he open his eyes, he saw her looking at him with happiness and joy. Her eyes sparkled with happiness which made him making a small smile in the dark.

"Aw....Amour..." She placed her head down on his chest.

"S-Salanghae" Crypto spoke.

He felt her face on his chest before he knew it she was out asleep. The room was so dark his mind played tricks with him. It was as if he could see a figure but just as he was about to move to investigate he felt Natalie on his chest. As he look around for the figure there was nothing. He felt safe, he held her and fell asleep closing his eyes.

Hopefully this will be the last time he will hallucinate. As he drift to sleep he woke up on the next day with a groggy Natalie. She held on to Crypto tightly covering her face with the blanket.

"I'll go get you some food and water."Crypto spoke in a soft tone.

He felt her grip tightening. Which made him look at her. She was so tired and exhausted. He pat her back gently.

"No. Stay." She demand and cling on to him.
