"Would you do it?" - Short VoidWelt Story

After a few years spent together - traveling across space together.

Many passerby would believe they are both well acquainted with one another. However, the two only know the main surface level of each others story as personal conversations about their life, what they like, what they hate, what little secret things they would do when they were younger but ultimately stop doing because of their respective duties and limitations. Such topics like those always seem to stop abruptly from telling more about themself or they get brushed off as nothing since it's "all in the pass now".

Yet, they both cherish short moments like those. Especially when they would find themselves bored out of their minds late at night and find solace with one another while drifting aimlessly in space. It truly made time pass by for the both of them.

"Void?"

Void Archives turned around to face the shorter brunette man. Their vision fixated on him as they put down the bright touch pad on the table.

"Are you here to praise and comment on my successful plan? Or are you here for other reasons tonight?"

Welt scoffed and rolled his eyes at that as he walked up to Void Archives and took a seat right next to them on the couch. Sinking into the cushioning.

"I'm just... bored."

"You couldn't sleep properly again?"

Welt didn't respond to Void Archives question as they obviously knew the answer to that.

"Can you talk with me?" He asked.

"Aren't I doing that right now?" They couldn't help but snicker at him.

"Yeah. I just wanted to know if you were actually paying attention. So...," he dragged out the last word. "If you archive everything, is there a way to delete something within your archive?"

Void Archives was caught off guard at such a question that it made them chuckle as it soon turned into a delirious laughing fit.

"Oh my dear Herrscher! Do you hear yourself! HAHAHAH! What kind of question is that!?" They stopped to calm themself down a bit. "Shouldn't my name already give the implications of the vast knowledge I have even if it never gets used?"

Welt opened his mouth to say something but hesitated. Exhaling to cover up his hesitation as he almost ran his mouth out without thinking. He casted his gaze else where, shifted his body away from Void Archives.

"That's such a shame then." He said.

Void Archives looked back at Welt, quirking an eyebrow.

"Oh? And why's that?"

"If someone told you to erase all the memories, all the data, all the information on something. Would you do it?"

They both sat in silence.

Void Archives was rendered speechless as Welt waited for their answer.

Waiting felt pointless now to Welt as the atmosphere of the room felt too quite now. Welt let out an exaggerated sigh. He got up from the couch to leave but a gloved hand stopped him from retreating back to his room.

"Why do you ask? Are you telling me to become an amnesic? Because it sure sounds like it."

Welt tried his best to maintain his stoic face but he could feel the corner of his mouth quiver downwards slightly. He wasn't sure if it was his own hand but he could feel how warm it felt in Void Archives hold. Not to tight to alarm him to feel in danger but not to lose that he could easily slip away.

It felt just right - to have physical contact after being so avoidant of it for such a long time. But it felt so wrong with how complicated their relationship has been. Oh how his heart would beat rapidly in his chest inappropriately at times like this. Perhaps time really has made them grown fond of each other in their situational ship.

"No," Welt said, as he squeezed Void Archives hand. "I just curious, that's all."

"Curious? To ask such a question like that makes me the curious one now. What made you think of that in the first place Welt?" Void Archives thought to themself.

Welt's eyes moved from staring at their hands to the touch pad laying on the table. Seeing graphs, the long strings of data flashing and running across the screen.

"I shouldn't bother you anymore. If you need me I'll probably be sleeping by then so good night, Void Archives."

They both loosen their hands, pulling away from each other once more.

"Good night Welt."
