Rudo is obviously NOT an expert at affection, nor is the topic of young love his strong suit. The last time he had a shot at love, it turned into a pile of dust within minutes. So whenever you got an inch too close to him during battle...

He almost felt his soul leave his body.

Nothing, and you mean nothing could've anticipated you to find out that he'd be so surprised at you. But it was understandable, you're a Raider after all, one of the youngest known if anything. That Rudo guy is a Cleaner, yet his brute strength made you admire that wanted Spherite. So once organized missions turned into your own personal lookouts for him, that made you realize you were in love.

Ain't you just a sweetheart?

You had to slow your roll sometimes, because you were pretty sure one of the Cleaners alongside Rudo was onto you. Enjin would always spare a quick suspicious glance towards you when the others had to deal with shooing you away from them, and he noticed you always had your eyes on Rudo. Heck, even Rudo noticed that weird habit of yours.

Were you trying to capture him? What the heck was your plan? Why him, exactly?

One afternoon came another slightly inconvenient battle with the Cleaners, prompted by the boss of the Raiders. You weren't too happy that you had to go with that psycho bitch Jabber— but hey, at least Rudo was there. You went straight after him and no one batted an eye.

While your teammate was busy confronting the other Cleaners, you were almost a yard away from them and fighting with Rudo again. Your gaze made your crush sweat out of anger and confusion, why were you looking at him like that? So... casually?

"Hey, I don't know what the hell is your plan but quit looking at me like that...!" Rudo huffed out after you parried a swing from his trash weapon. He was able to notice something was up, but what? You're going a lot softer on him than the first time you met...

Jeez, maybe you'd have to drill it into his head that you like him.
