"What should I call you?" (Y/N) asked out loud.
"I am Zane, built to protect those who cannot protect themselves." Echo Zane said. (Y/N) smiled at him.
"I do not know my real name, But I am known as (Y/N)." (Y/N) told Echo Zane as he continued to sit silently beside (Y/N).
(Y/N) held out her hand for Echo to shake. Echo stared at it, clueless as to what he was supposed to do.
"It's ok I didn't understand it at first either it's a greeting you're supposed to, Shake it." (Y/N) said with a gentle smile.
Echo took (Y/N)'s hand and shook it. After a few seconds, his arm came off, which earned a slight gasp from (Y/N).
"Oh Brick!, Oh Brick! What do I do!? HOW DO I FIX THIS?!" (Y/N) started to panic and scream still holding Echo Zane's arm.
Echo took his arm back and reconnected it. "Oh..." was all (Y/N) was able to say.
"I know a Zane do you mind if I call you by another name?" (Y/N) asked him.
"You are talking about my brother, the one my father left with." Echo Zane asked.
"My father built me as a replacement when he thought he would never see Zane again." Echo Zane.
"You deserved a name of your own, your father was just to blind to see that." (Y/N) snorted as she looked Echo Zane up and down. "How about Echo."
Echo nodded smiling. He likes it when she called him that.
They sat in silence for a while before Echo got up and held out his hand to (Y/N).
(Y/N) took it thinking it was another handshake but to her surprise, Echo forced her up out of the bed.
Echo holds both of her hands in his. Echo has the biggest smile on his face and starts trying to dance with (Y/N).
(Y/N) was really confused. "What are you trying to do?" (Y/N) questioned.
"Dance with you." Echo announced still trying to awkwardly dance with (Y/N).
"He's either really bored or really confused about what you're supposed to do with a teen." (Y/N) thought to herself.
(Y/N) and Echo dance awkwardly, neither having any experience but they couldn't help but smile at how silly this was. Echo smiled and the pair continued to awkwardly dance for a while.
After dancing, Echo picked (Y/N) up like a bride and carried her down the stairs.
"Um, Echo where are you taking me?" (Y/N) questioned.
"To the vegetable garden around the back of the lighthouse, it is where we'll get most of our food from here. I thought you might like to see it my father enjoyed it."
Once they were at the bottom of the stairs Echo sets (Y/N) down, and opened the door for them both. The salty evening breeze gently caressing them in the face.
(Y/N) shuttered a little, Echo hugged her to keep her warm.
(Y/N) smiled at him and hugged him back he was just like a child. (Y/N) had missed having someone cute and valuable to look after.
Over the next few days, things would proceed to be very nice and peaceful at the lighthouse.
(Y/N) would wake up look out the window. Echo would hand her a cup of tea and they would sip it quietly together listening to the ocean together.
They would farm together and play on the beach, splash each other in the water making extra sure not to go in to deep because of the Starteeth.
They were both stuck here they couldn't build a boat even with the sea-creature gone because of the Starteeth.
Echo and (Y/N) did their best to keep each other in good spirits. Though Echo became concerned.
"You won't try to leave me, will you (Y/N)?" Echo asked one day when their conversation turned to ideas of how to make it to the mainland.
(Y/N) smiled at Echo a soothed his hair down. "I won't leave you, Echo you have my word. We'll leave the island together." (Y/N) promised with a soft smile.
Echo hugged on to her. (Y/N) hugged him back. "It's ok. Echo I'm here. We have each other." (Y/N) comforted him.
(Echo P.O.V)
I can feel (Y/N)'s soft lips touch my forehead.
I can't let (Y/N) leave me... It was dreadful not to receive any form of affection form my father... He resented me...
He resented me for the sole fact that I wasn't Zane... The real Zane... I was just a tool that he could control... A toy he was using to comfort himself until he was reunited with Zane...
But here was (Y/N)... I know she is afraid and doubtful but doesn't want me to see... She's trying to protect me and give me hope... But I need her to understand that I only desire her affection and to return it tenfold...
I would never hurt her like other humans would... I wouldn't discard her like they had... I want to treasure her... And as long as I'm operational she will not leave...She is mine...
