***This story contains fan made shippings between characters from Borderlands 2. If such pairing offend you, please refrain from reading.***
***Large parts of this story are written in script-like dialogue, this is to avoid the whole “he said, she said” of the prose, while also keeping the natural speaking pace of a roleplaying game. Enjoy!***



Gaige: Here Tina, here’s your key. Maya, you’ve got the answer to the puzzle?
Maya: *sniff* Yeah, it’s ‘snake’.
Tina: correct-o-mundo ladies! Okay, the door to the refinery opens, and its really dark. put these blindfolds on to pretend its dark, I even got an extra big one to fit around-
Maya: Tina stop.
Tina: hmm?
Maya: Krieg and I were having a really emotional moment just now. I’m pretty damn sure that he was about to tell me that he loves me... and now he can’t... can’t even speak without talking about meat and bicycles and shit! Can’t you give me just like three freaking seconds to compose myself?!?
Tina: Yo I’m sorry gurl. I’m sad for you too... you know I use these games to help me get through emotional stuffs. I just thought continuing the game would help.
Gaige: Wait, Tina, what is this game supposed to help you with?
Tina: <sigh> Sir Reginald died a couple days ago. Turns out Varkids don’t live to long away from their hives.
Hammerlock: I see, that’s why you made my character a varkid, so you could remember your friend in a positive light?
Tina: Yeah, hey I know this is kinda weird since you guys are mercs and stuff, but can we have a group hug or sump’tin?

As the four went in for an awkward hug, Maya noticed that Krieg had slipped away. The siren excused herself to walk outside the workshop cave, her heart set on finding the psycho. Maya followed the screams of terrified bandits up to the Tundra Express Eridium Mine. Making her way past carts of ore and piles of bodies, the siren climbed the conveyor belt up to the mouth of the mine. The psycho sat on a steam pump’s valve, over-looking the Tundra Express valley, his chin resting in his palms. Krieg hadn’t noticed Maya yet, but he continued to mumble to himself as if he didn’t want anyone else to hear him. Maya climbed the steam pump, sitting next to him at the top. After he noticed her, he began to rub her hands across his broad shoulders.

Maya: Hey, how’re you doing?
Krieg: Hmm, now the pain princess is here. Her knight fights a mountain of mind hurt. It is difficult to dig without a shovel, but sometimes you hit an air pocket... <sigh> now my flesh sacs are out of air.
Maya: I know you’re trying. I’m not mad that we can’t communicate like a normal couple,  but just being with you is more than enough. If anyone should be mad, it should be you at me for getting embarrassed so much. Growing up, I didn’t have great role models, but you’re the first guy to treat me like a normal girl - not some god, or a witch. Thanks.

Planting a kiss on Krieg’s cheek, Maya drew the Logan’s Gun she received earlier from her holster. “It was sweet of you to get this gun for me, this is such a cool gun!” The psycho nuzzled his head on her shoulder, “the pretty deserved a spine tingler. Wanted a blooming burster to show I would never devour you soul.” Maya beamed, then aiming the gun at a nearby bandit, firing to test it’s effective range. The E-tech dart struck into a bandit Enforcer.
As the dart burst into a plume of flame, Maya realized that there weren’t any Enforcers in Tundra Express - that was a Goliath she hit in the helmet... and that helmet just popped off. “YOU BETTER GET ON YOUR GODDAMN KNEES!!!” The enraged Goliath leaped into the air towards the couple, but became ensnared in a Phaselock. The extra dimensional orb erupted in elements. The devastated Goliath collapsed to the ground, finished off by another Logan’s Gun shot to the face.
“Excellent work my sparkling peacock, his tears will be the oil to light the fires of our passion!” Maya’s cheeks flared with the psychos attempt at romance. As they made their way back to Tina’s Workshop, Krieg encompassed Maya’s hand in his, and they both hoped this feeling would never end.
Following the Grog Nozzle debacle (minimal spoilers), the group needs time to heal, none more than Krieg...
