"Let me be the one"

Love in a warzone:
As night pressed into morning, the silence continued.
003 was the first to awake. Opening her eyes slowly, she found herself sleeping on 002\'s red scarf. What had seemed to suprize her even more was that he had brought back food for her and 004. It was just a simple breakfast of some berries and furits found out in the woods, but it ment the world that 002 was keeping his promis to the both of them.
In a world where you can trust no one, simple things are kept dear.
As 003 sat up, she noticed 002 sleeping against the cold cave wall.
Returing his scarf, she glanced him over.
\" He is somewhat handsome and very kind.\" 003 thought to herself. \" but there\'s still so little we know about one another.\"
It was when she wrapped his scarf around his body to keep him warm that he slowly awoke and they found themselfs face to face.
002 could feel his cheeks grow hot in suprize as he awoke to jade eyes of an angel.
Once noticing he was stairing so hard at her in suprize, 003 stumbled back trying to hide her blush.
\" I\'m ... so sorry 002... I didn\'t mean to wake you.\" 003 was stumbling for words in her mind to make up for such an alkward momnet.
\" I just wanted to thank you for breakfast and letting me use your scarf to sleep on.\"
It felt like it took forever to reply, shock still over took him.
One gaining control over his emotions, 002 slipped into his cool motto. \" No problem. I know you were really tired so I let you sleep in wile I got some food for all of us.\"
004 was the last to awake. Slowly , painfuly he sat up.
\" Good morning.\" 004 wispered weakly.
He was still weak and tired with no signs of getting any better.
002 stood up not being able to stand his freind in any more pain.
\" We can\'t just stay here forever\" his heart was filled with hope that they may stand a chance. \" We can exscape wile it\'s quiet out and run to a new life of freedom\"
003 gasped at his words \" What if it\'s a trap? What if they\'re waiting for us to try something like that?\"
004 intrerupped \" It\'s a chance I\'m willing to take just to be free, and if not prehaps I can die and be with my wife once again \"
\" Then lets set out!\" For the first time ever in 002\'s life the new day promised joy and hope.

After breakfast the cyborg team set out. 002 took care of carrying 004 and 003 was on the watch for anything coming at them.
\" ..... Can\'t you fly us out of here 002? \" 004 questioned.
002 sighed \" I wish it was that easy, but they only gave me a limited amount of fuel for the test and I\'m all out. On foot they\'ll be least likely to spot us.\"
004 sighed too. \"About how long do we have then on foot?\"
\" About a day and a half on foot, then the jungle turns into mountains and we can hide out there.\" She always seemed to have all the answers he was looking for.
His piece of heaven in a world of hell.
As the day wore on, the heat and huty gty grew. About half way though the day the cyborgs stopped to rest in a small clearing of trees near a lagoon.
The trip was seeming to be a bigger task than once thought with 004\'s condition.
003 and 002 helped 004 rest in the soft ferns beneath the trees.
002 dipped his hands in the cool waters washing the dirt and sweat from his face, glancing behind him he noticed 003 offering water to 004.
It never stopped touching his heart how much she always put others before herself, but what about her feelings?
Playfully he splashed a bit of water on 003. \"Care to take break and cool yourself off too?\"
\" 002 what are you doing...? \" she pouted in protest \"Be serious we don\'t have too long to stay here.\"
However thinking the thought over for a ten mins or so after 004 fell asleep, the offer was becoming more tempting. The day\'s heat was only getting hotter.
Walking next to 002 who was still wading in the lagoon\'s waters. she knelt down to wash away the dirt from her face. He was right the lagoon\'s waters felt clean and refreshing.
\"Much better?\" 002 questioned.
\"Much \" Sighing in content, she returned his previous splash.
However 003 wasn\'t expecting what he did next.
loosening his scarf, he let it slip to the ground. 003 looked at him in question, but it was then when he slipped his shirt over his head and let it fall beside his scarf.
\"Just what are you doing ----?!\" 003 turned away trying to leave him with some decency.
\"Going for a swim\" 002 announced without a care in the world.
He tossed his pants aside where she could see them leaving him in just his boxers.
003 blushed wildly. \"Just what the hell is going though your mind? Have you lost it!?!\"
002 paused. Just what the hell was going though his mind, how bold and or stupid could he be.
002 winced at his stupidity \"... I just need to wash the filth of war from me. I\'m sorry for acting this way infront of you.\"
He turned away from her as he dove in the cool waters feeling sorry in his actions. Once diving in, it did feel like the filth of everything that had happen was wa awa away.
Peering his head above the surface, he noticed that she was looking straight at him. Not in anger or outrage anymore, but like she understood.
\" You\'re welcome to join me if you like.\" 002 offered.
003 timidly questioned. \"Do you really feel any better ...?\"
002 lay back in the blue waters. \" Even better than before..\"
He never exspected her to take him up on his offer.
003 stood up undoing the knot from her tattered scarf letting it slip to the floor.she she leaned down to unzip her boots, 002 almost droned in shock.
He could hardly speak.\" You\'re coming to---\"
\" Join you, Yes\" She interrupted as she slipped out of her pants. \"but I\'m keeping the shirt on, and if you ever tell another soul about this ----\"
Slowly she walked into the blue waters to join him.
\"No .. Never\" All 002 could do was stand still wordlessly as 003 slipped into the water.
Her wet shirt clung to ever curve of her body. The sight was driving him wild.
Was he dreaming? No this has to be a dream. 002\'s thought screamed at him to wake up but his dream was reality.
Dazed in his thoughts, he only woke when she wrapped her arms around him to hug him.
\"..You where right.\" 003 sighed resting her head on his shoulder. \"This dose feel wonderful, like we have a chance to enjoy life again.\"
He could feel himself growing weak at the knees. A small sigh escaped his lips as she held onto him tighter. If this was a dream he couldn\'t stand to wake up from it now.
Desires grew in him, but he would remain a prefect gentleman for her .......
