Fix My Mechanical Heart

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled softly, giggling a bit as his hairs tickled her neck. "Yeah, it is a really effective way to wipe me out for a while." She said softly, wrapping her arms around him as she kissed his cheek and leaned against his head.

 

[grey987]

"I know it is," Mark commented with a chuckle as he began to slowly glide his hand along the smooth skin of Kiora's bare back, which he found was coated with a thin sheen of sweat. "We've done this enough times for me to know that."

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora nodded meekly, resting against him as she caught her breath, her skin still sticky with sweat. "And no matter how much we do it, I never get used to it." She said softly.

 

[grey987]

Mark chuckled lightly again, his chest continuing to rise and fall heavily. "Neither do I," he admitted, though his lips found the spot under her ear again and pressed lightly against it.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora let out a groan, leaning back into the bed. "Don't get us started again." She said softly.

 

[grey987]

"Oh, but I just might, hot stuff," Mark said with an evil grin, planting another kiss on her neck. He was working more slowly this time, as to give his fiancée more time to catch her breath. "You see, earlier you worked me up more than usual... and I don't think that I'm fully through with you yet." He moved away from Kiora's neck for a long moment, moving at a pace that happened to be agonizingly slow for him as he trailed a few kisses along her cheek, planted one on her nose and then had his lips find her jaw.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora let out a deep sigh, letting him trail kisses over her face. "Fine." She said softly, trying to bite back the agonizingly slow paced torture he was putting her though.

 

[grey987]

Mark let out a soft and low chuckle at Kiora's response, his lips finding her shoulder afterwards. "Sorry... It's just so hard to control myself when you're so damn beautiful," he told her, his tone surprisingly serious and not joking when he spoke, actually being rather husky as his lips pressed against her bicep while his arm stayed wrapped around her mildly sticky back.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora shivered, feeling goosebumps trail across her back as he spoke to her, causing her to shift under his touch. "Why do you have to e so manly right now?" She hissed quietly, trying to hold back a groan.

 

[grey987]

"I don't know. I guess it's just an impulse," Mark answered honestly in the voice of a whisper, feeling the goosebumps that formed on Kiora's back and getting even more of a rise out of the fact that she was squirming under him, causing his breath to become a bit heavier as he nipped at her earlobe and lightly suckled on the spot under it. "I try to hold back. I try not to make it seem like I'm taking advantage of you. But it's so... damn... hard..."

 

[IceQueen]

(OOkkk, getting a little farther off the PG-13 scale, going to have to just jump it)


Kiora sighed. "I can't take it." She decided, rolling over on top of him. "Shall we?"

 

[grey987]

(Yup)


Mark simply nodded once in silence, draping the covers over them both.

"Mark..."


"Hunter. I'm gonna ask you to be quiet for now," he said in response to his mech, jogging lightly across one rooftop before jumping onto another. Kiora was presumably asleep at this moment, beyond worn out from their earlier 'activities'. "I could use a bit exercise. Besides, haven't you been wanting to be operated for a while, now? I mean, you and Hollow were kind of just sitting around in the garage collecting dust while my fiancée and I were spending time upstairs."


"You have a fair point."


Mark only intended to take a trek through the city, and perhaps practice at the arena. Unfortunately however, Kiora wouldn't like what she found when she woke up...


Because he didn't come home for at least an hour after he left.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora woke up an hour after Mark left, groaning softly as she rolled over in bed. She was still sore, and so she stretched her back, only to look over and see no one. She let out a deep sigh and tossed a quick change of clothes on before going down to the garage where Hollow was, but Hunter was gone. She cursed to herself and got into Hollow. "How about we go for a walk?" She asked, before walking out of the garage.

[IceQueen]

Kiora growled. She couldn't get a read on hunter. With a sigh, she kept wandering the streets, wondering if she could pinpoint his location by sound, or sight.

[IceQueen]

Suddenly, a transmission came in. She took in the coordinates and started heading that way, with what spotted information she had. Hopefully she would find Hunter soon, so she could drag him back home.

 

[grey987]

In a dark alleyway nearby, a mech could be seen lying against the wall of one of the two adjacent buildings, its head and body slumped to one side as the blue eyes on the headpiece flickered and its chassis sparked in several places. Hunter was very badly damaged, but there was no way to know of the actual user's vital signs since the mech's system was almost completely destroyed.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora searched for a while, until she saw a spark out of he corner of her eye. Sliding Hollow though, she pulled the Mechs arms under hunter, and boosted up, carrying the heavy mech up to a rooftop and out of view before she started to try and open it.

 

[grey987]

Given Hunter's bad condition, it wasn't that hard to open up the mech and eventually, it folded open to show Mark lying inside of it. However, he was unconscious with a diagonal gash along his forehead along with one with one across his abdomen where that area of his blue t-shirt had also been torn. Clearly, he'd taken as much of a beating as his mech had.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora let out a yelp, and picked up hunter. "Again Mark?" She whispered, tears in her eyes as she started walking towards the hospital, knowing he would need treatment again.

 

[grey987]

It was clear that Mark's wounds would need tending to in a hospital, but there was someone in particular who was keen on not letting that happen. Before Kiora could even make it off the roof, a small spear attached to a wire attached itself to Hollow's shoulder and pulled back, sending her down to the rooftop before it returned to the wrist compartment of a familiar mech.


"Ah ah ah. Now that I've found you, I'm not going to let you leave," Crookes informed her, a smirk practically audible in his voice.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora growled softly, setting Mark down away from Crookes. "What do you want now." She hissed at him, her mechs eyes flashing dangerously as she waited for him to answer.

 

[grey987]

"Isn't it obvious?" Crookes asked with a chuckle, the eyes of his own mech gleaming under the light of the sun. "I'm looking for the rematch that we never got. I'm sure you remember that night at the restaurant, right? Well, apparently Mark hasn't, and... as you've seen, he's paid the price for it. So now, all that's left is to dispatch of you. The thorn that's been in my side for several years, now."

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora scoffed. "Of what? The people won't accept you as the spot on top of the mech world. You are cruel, and you use cheating ways to earn your place. If you want a rematch, we do it in the ring." she said toughly, crossing her arms. "Besides, outside of a mech, you are probably weak."
