Summary: After everything. The happy ending they deserve.
A week ago, Metal was tittering anxiously and Elec was teasing and groping him just as much (well, more really) as he was comforting him. Today Elec was the one being jittery and Metal wondered if he should be just as infuriatingly unhelpful (minus the groping as that would cheer Elec up immensely any day).
But Elec, with his eyes glued to the house nestled comfortably before them and the people he knew to be inside, said, “I don’t think I can do this,” and Metal couldn’t help his resolve to be difficult melting.
He held Elec’s hand, giving it a light squeeze. “There’s nothing to be afraid of,” he told his lover, “everything will be fine.”
“How… How do you know?” He couldn’t bring himself to look away from the home, mouth quivering at the corners and expression anxious and heartbroken and so frightened at the same time. “I attacked him, Metal. I haven’t talked to him- to any of them –in almost 10 years and the last thing they’d remember is that we fought and- Metal, I tried to kill him back then-“
Metal tugged at Elec’s arm and cupped the lightning bioroid’s jaw with his other hand. “Elec.” He said in stern kindness. “He doesn’t hate you. They don’t hate you. They know why you had to fight just as much as they understand why the rest of us did. They know who can still be trusted and who’s too dangerous and they want you back. They invited you back home, they think you deserve another chance. Don’t you think you owe them the chance to redeem yourself?”
“I…” Elec’s pale eyes flickered back to the house for an instant before returning to search Metal’s face for any sign of falsehood. Jaw setting in a grim line, he swallowed hard and nodded into Metal’s soft grip.
“Good.” He pulled Elec toward the house, weaving his arms around the older robot’s. “Let’s say hello to your family, now.”
They rang the doorbell and there was a shout from somewhere near the back of the house. Their enhanced hearing picked up the frantic pattering of footfall. From the corner of his eye, Metal saw a smile fighting its way to Elec’s lips.
The door opened wide and Rock stood there, breathless and bright eyed. “Elec!” He cried happily, jumping at his brother with wide arms. “You came back! I knew you would!” Remembering his manners, Rock pulled back and gave Metal a brilliant smile. “I’m glad both of you came! Come in, come in!”
He chattered happily, fairly pushing the two Robot Masters inside and a chorus of voices greeted them within the small house. Dr. Light sat in his favorite chair and around him were the brothers that Elec had been built with, had been stolen and reprogrammed with. Just as comfortable here in this room as they had been so many years ago. Dr. Light’s eyes crinkled happily as his last creation entered the room and Roll came up with a tray of drinks and snacks, offering it to the two of them.
“Welcome home!” She said.
Elec’s smile wavered with barely suppressed tears, but his eyes shone brighter than Metal could recall. “Thank you.” He said softly, leaning lightly against his small lover’s side. “Thank you.”
