All a Girl Ever Wanted

 

[Z/I, M or E rated, Introspection, One-shot]

 

1. Some flashes of Z/I sexual activities, with emphasis on how male-gazey they are. Dirty pics, Armored Zero / Naked Iris, Zero's lack of passion in acts like giving her head, emphasis on him groping her body instead of actual sensual embraces. tl;dr it's more about his dick on her body.

 

2. Flashforward to another sexual act, wherein Iris moans / screams, but she notices it's more performative than spontaneous.

 

3. At the HQ, she reminisces of her relationship with Zero: he's handsome, he's high-ranked, treats her well, gives her pretty gifts, the relationship gives her status, it's _all a reploid girl ever wanted_.

 

4. Iris walks into X and Zero discussing something, X's hand on Zero's shoulder. Both of them do look quite emotionally involved, looking at their faces. She greets them and asks what's going on, Zero replies with "It's a Hunter thing, you wouldn't understand."

 

5. While Iris does affirm in the narrative that she would never be jealous of X's and Zero's bond, she realizes that those close, emotionally-charged conversations never happened within her and Zero's relationship.

 

6. Feeling unfulfilled, Iris goes back to work. More introspection, she doesn't know what to do or expect. Unable to focus at wrk, she pays attention to the other female Navigators, some working, some chatting with each other. One of them, a blonde girl in pink that enters the room with a male officer (a rookie Alia with a lower-ranked Signas), grabs her attention.

 

7. Iris still can't focus on work, laying her head down on the console, Alia appears by her side with a Life Bottle, asking if she's OK.

 

8. Iris nods, and asks if Signas' her boyfriend. Alia denies, affirming that he's a friend who can catch up with her in some nerdy discussions. Iris gets interested, but says she wouldn't get it. Alia says she'll explain everything if asked.

 

9. Iris smiles, and realizes what to do and what she really wants.


This will be short, 2k words at most! I didn't write it because TIREDNESS. At least i was smart enough to make an outline to not forget the plot!
