Love Is A Legendary Weapon

I am not in love./Why would an assassin love?/Love is for the weak.

Zer0 was talking to himself again. Again. He couldn't love. No matter what. Assassins never love. Yet...he did?

No. That can't be true. Nobody loves. Nobody loves on Pandora. You would have to be psychotic to love.

Yet he was sure he was in love.

But she would not notice him. She probably would never notice him.

Maya. The Siren. The only Vault Hunter he ever dared to argue with.

He would admit he has kept his eyes on her for...so long. She was different. She was mostly calm. She was actually always trying to keep the team's ego in check. Which meant she would beat Axton, their commando, out if it was a competition.

This wouldn't be a laughing matter. It wasn't humorous. This meant he was distracted. Distractions meant death. Yet it was always hard to focus. Especially when he was with her the majority of the time.

One rule he created for himself was to never fall in love. No matter where or what occasion. Love is for the weak. And he certainly was not weak.

"Hey, Zer0," Maya called from behind him.

He snapped back to reality. He turned to look at her, not speaking.

"Aren't you going the wrong way? Shouldn't we head over here?" she asked.

Not what I was wishing for, he thought. Walking up to her.

She was pointing down towards a bay surrounded by water.

He looked back up, straight ahead towards a tunnel.

"I think it's this way./Last time you lead, we both died./So—" he began.

"Enough with the haiku, Zer0. We have no time for that. All that matters is that we find the skull shiver medicine before the citizens in Overlook die." she interrupted.

"Let me finish next time." he added, following her.

This hadn't been the second or third time they had a disagreement. They had many previous times. This one wasn't too bad. At least not yet.

"Let's just go." she told him, leading the way down the bank.

He remained silent. He wanted to talk with her, but what could they talk about? The only thing they can relate with each other with is that they were both Vault Hunters. How would that be an improvement?

"Awfully quiet back there, Zer0." he heard her tell him as she reloaded her SMG.

"Nothing." he lied.

They got the medicine, and left the bank. He continued to follow her, thinking of what to talk about.

I know I talked to Axton about this 'not understanding women thing' but this is ridiculous, he thought.

"Come on, Zer0. Get your lazy ass in here." she shouted from the bandit technical.

He looked at her. That wasn't funny. "Shut it." he hissed, hopping into the gunner's seat.

He heard her laughing. He felt himself blush a bit. That one laugh—her laugh—had been enough to know he wanted her. The only thing he got so far was that he could be her partner.

I'm an idiot for liking her. Assassins don't love. So focus!

"You sure you're okay, Zer0?" she asked, shouting so he could hear her over the engine.

"Yeah." he murmured. He was lying. Lying to Maya.

He would make her his. If one problem didn't stand in his way.

"Fine." he heard her finish, ending their conversation.

That one problem. The stupid problem he had since he was a kid, though he was sure didn't occur until now. He couldn't talk to who he knew he was having feelings for.

A/N: How was this? :) I love how it is so far, even if it sucks to you. So, before I end this A/N, please comment and fave or something. :3 Also, the one ship I LOVE: May0 or Maya x Zer0! :D I'm so random. :3
