Chapter Text
“There we go!” said Saryn triumphantly, delicately placing the final piece of weaponry on the shelf. She stood back to admire her work, gazing at the numerous weapons she had before swiftly doing a 360 degree turn around the entire room.
Doing a quick appraisal, she checked that everything was in order before plopping herself down on the bed behind her, arms splayed on the mattress.
Ever since Saryn and Tyl had started dating, she had been staying at his Titania Sealab more and more often, to the point that the majority of Tenno and Tubemen alike usually went there first when it came to them needing something from her. Not that she minded. Quite the contrary, actually. She enjoyed being close to her Tyl. She sat up, looking at the room lovingly.
It had been sweet to have Tyl construct this for her. A little room in the Sealab for her to decorate as she saw fit. At first, she was hesitant to accept the idea, firstly because she didn’t want to force the extra work upon him, but secondly because she didn’t want to be separated from him.
His remedy to the second was simple: They share the room.
She remembered squealing in delight and practically hugging him in a death grip before rushing off to clear out the orbiter of her belongings.
The room they had made her was quite large, about the size of Tyl’s lab. However, the furnishings were drastically different. A small metal desk sat against the wall, with numerous tools and gadgets of Tyl’s scattered across it. Next to the desk sat what appeared to be a Tenno Foundry. When it was first received, she was shocked that such a thing could be moved from the Orbiter, but in fact it was actually a gift from Alad, as it was his way of apologizing.
Across from the desk sat the bed Saryn was sitting on, its sheet a mix of Orokin Gold and a soft pink. The pillows on it were stuffed full of a mix of Condroc Feathers and a Gel custom made from Fortuna, making them extra soft. To the right of the bed was a gigantic window overlooking under the water, along with a small elevator that went to a small, personal balcony and garden. Saryn had remembered planting a Wisteria sapling, as well as a few of her favorite flowers from Cetus there. To the left of the bed sat the Shelf she had been decorating, filled with countless pieces of memorabilia over her missions, such as Broken Orchids, her worn Corinth Prime, and her pink Brakk Pistol (a gift from Danya).
Saryn breathed in deeply, taking in the scent of Lilac and pine, before standing up and making her way towards the door. Just as she neared it, it opened to admit the target of her affections.
Tyl Regor stepped into the room and shifted his gaze around the space appraisingly.
“You decorated,” he said, mildly surprised.
A pang of worry embedded itself in Saryn’s heart. What if he didn’t like it.
“I love it,” he said happily.
The worry was gone in an instant as Saryn jumped into his arms. Anticipating this, Tyl readily accepted her, holding her in an embrace for a moment.
Before long, he let her go, and she gracefully landed back on the ground.
Tyl smiled as he moved ahead and sat on the bed, almost sinking into the mattress.
“You want me to make you something?” Saryn asked lovingly.
Tyl nodded, still trying to contemplate what the heck he just sat on.
As Saryn moved towards the other door in the room, Tyl turned to her.
“What exactly am I sitting on, Angelfish?” he asked.
Saryn stopped and turned to him, shock and confusion evident on her face.
“You’ve… never heard of a mattress?” she asked, amused.
Suddenly, the smartest Grineer in the system felt like a total idiot.
“I… guess not?” Tyl responded apprehensively.
Saryn blinked in surprise.
“What did you ever sleep on?” she asked, bemused.
Tyl scratched the back of his helmet. “Usually, I… slept… well, anywhere actually.”
Saryn looked at him, before her bemusement turned into amusement. She slowly made her way towards the other side of the bed and sat down. Tyl wobbled a bit as her weight shifted the mattress. He turned to see her lie down on her back, and decided to do the same.
Almost immediately he felt like he was being hugged all around him. He shifted a bit, only to feel the mattress almost wrap him in a comforting embrace.
“Like it?” Saryn whispered.
Tyl could only nod, fully engrossed in this new discovery. Soon he felt the weight shift again as Saryn rose from her position. He turned to her, only to catch another discovery in the corner of his eyes. He reached forward and plucked a pillow from beside him.
“What about this?” he asked, noticing how soft and squishy it was. Saryn turned to see him squishing the pillow in almost child-like curiosity, and cracked a smile. She picked up the other pillow from the bed.
“It’s a weapon!” she cried playfully as she chucked the pillow at him.
The Grinner scientist snapped his head towards her, only to meet a face full of pillow. He recoiled and practically fell off the bed in surprise, pillow still in hand. As he rose, he saw Saryn doubling over in laughter, her arms hugging her sides as a smile split her face.
Tyl started laughing too, before swiftly chucking his own pillow at her.
It seemed, though, that the Grinner scientist put a bit too much strength into that throw. As the pillow collided with Saryn, she was pushed backwards by the force and the throw and hit the wall with resounding force, a bang erupting from the impact.
“Saryn!” he cried, panicked, as he scrambled to his feet and booked it towards his girlfriend.
Soon, he was next to her, and he could almost hear her soft crying as he carefully…
Wait.
Before he knew it, a pillow met his face, forcing him to recoil backwards and hitting his head against the window. He moved the pillow away to see the mischievous grin of Saryn on the ground, rubbing the back of her head.
“That’s what you get!” she said playfully, before bursting into a fit of giggles.
Soon, Tyl mirrored her laughter, both of them laughing at the entire series of events that had just transpired. Soon, they decided to pick themselves up, but the giggles remained. Soon Kuda entered to deliver her report, only to find the pair a giggling mess. Not even questioning, she left them to their own company, a small smile on her face at the sight of the two lovebirds.
