Chapter Text
“I want a kiss.”
“Not here Hii.” He muttered, trying his best to keep his voice down. They were out in the open, driving home after wrapping up a mission with the other members of Team Akuta and Fu didn’t want them to think he was weirder than they probably already did. He knew he and Hii’s relationship was already unusual to other people because of how they fit the stereotype of givers and vital instrument codependency but that wasn’t even the half of it. If others knew he and Hii were together together he’d be made a pariah among the already outcast. Even if he tried to explain that Hii was another sentient being (technically a ‘curse’ as Hii puts it) nobody ever believed him. So in the end he’d just preferred to squander their love away till it was safe to express it.
Hii on the other hand didn’t give a fuck about who was around.
“Booooo, you’re such a pansy. Nobody’s looking at us, just a quick one.” Hii begged him. They were in the back of the car… the only one next to them was a sleeping Zanka…. Maybe just one? No. No. He needed to be careful. He really wanted his host/minion relationship with Enjin to work out and he wanted to make friends with the others. If he got caught giving kisses to his doll he’d be mortified. “Just wait till later. We can make out a bunch after I go to sleep.” He preferred their dreamscape escapades anyways, much easier to kiss then. “Oh come on! I want just a quick one! You want it too! You were thinking about it earlier when we were fighting those trashbeasts. Indulge us for once.” Feeling his face go red, he couldn't deny Hii’s words. He had been thinking about feigning ill so he could keep smooching Hii in the dream world instead of going on the job today but he still had to gain The Cleaners trust. One thing he will say he misses about no longer being a criminal is how he's definitely got less free time now.
“Alright, alright, just one ok?” he conceded and Hii gave a smug “Mhm” in his mind. Glancing around to make triple sure nobody was watching him, he brought Hii’s mini vessel closer to his face. Taking one more look specifically at Zanka besides him he finally closed his eyes and hunched over to press a chaste kiss to the sharp, wooden grin carved into Hii’s face. “Hmm, hmmm, lovely.” Hii laughed at him and he opened his eyes with a snicker of his own. “Yeah, yeah and people call me needy.” he lightly teased making Hii scoff.
“What the hell are you doing?” Zanka Was Awake.
Nearly dropping Hii in his shock he turned quickly with a sharp gasp. “Umm! Nothing just… just talking to my doll!” He stuttered out, mortified. He was so sure the other was asleep why the hell did he have to wake up just then?! “Righhhhht…” Zanka said, peering at him with dark, suspicious eyes. They sat in suffocatingly awkward silence for what felt like ages before Zanka huffed “I swear all you Raiders are just freaky about your vital instruments.” and closed his eyes again. Fu could feel his body over heating from humiliation well Hii cackled evilly in his mind.
He was never indulging the other again.
