Mark my words everyone, If Acronix and Krux came back, I will make a juicy fanfiction about them đ If they had a new appearance I WILL MAKE IT JUICY đ I will make it extremely longer fic and headcanons guys don't worry đ
It's endearing to think of a mini time twins existing along with their mech, Acronix decided to join the fun of building it together with you.
#TAGS: Fluff, Established relationship, Romantic or platonic you decide, kinda short, Potential OOC, I love acronix man đ, Bro rates it low just because it wasn't accurate. đ Krux is involved in the end I think, Acronix suddenly became a husband material?? đ
A/n: A little celebration for successfully building the iron doom in my part and shout out to my cousin for helping me out for this and the last part is almost finished. [Poor fingers]
⪟ đđđđđđ ŕżŕźľŕ˝˝â
The knock on the door pulled you from your sleepiness. You hadn't been expecting anythingâor rather, you hadn't been paying attention to your own plans. Acronix, lounging nearby, looked up from his phone with curiosity. "That for you?" he asked, gesturing lazily toward the door.
You got up sluggishly, your movements slow but laced with a flicker of curiosity. When you opened the door, you were greeted by the sight of a parcelâa large one. Instantly, a small, almost imperceptible jolt of excitement zipped through your chest. It had arrived.
Dragging the box inside, you placed it on the table, your fingers fumbling to open it. Acronix stood and wandered over, his curiosity piqued. "Whatâs in the box? Did you order another set of⌠what are they called? Funky Pops?"
You rolled your eyes but couldn't help a faint smile as you shook your head. "No. It's the Dawn of the Iron Doom set."
Acronix's eyebrows shot up, his expression shifting into one of impressed surprise. "Youâre kidding. They actually shipped it? I thought youâd be sulking about that delay forever."
You chuckled softly, already pulling out the pieces and the instruction manual. The set was massiveâfar bigger than you remembered from the promotional images. Just looking at the number of bags and pieces was overwhelming, and your excitement faltered for a second. Where were you even supposed to start?
Acronix noticed the hesitation and smirked. "Looks like you bit off more than you can chew," he teased, leaning on the table.
You huffed but didnât respond. The truth was, he wasnât wrong. The sheer size of the project felt daunting now that it was in front of you.
"Alright, alright," he said, straightening up. "Scoot over. Iâll help you."
You blinked, surprised. "Really? You want to help?"
Acronix shrugged, his smirk softening into something more genuine. "Why not? I built a lot of stuff like this when I was younger. Besides, itâs our Iron Doom, isnât it? Might as well get my hands dirty."
The mention of "our" tugged at your heart, but you didnât dwell on it. Instead, you nodded, grateful for the company.
He grabbed the book manual while you started sorting the pieces into piles. Acronix flipped through the pages, muttering about how unnecessarily complicated some of the steps looked. "Who designs these things? Sadists, probably."
You snorted. "Says the guy who literally forced a paralyzed man to build a time-traveling mechâ"
Acronix cut you off by putting a gloved finger in your lips "Shush, First of all, that was for scienceâand domination, obviously," he shot back, grinning. "This? This is just... unnecessarily tedious."
Despite his complaints, Acronix dove in, taking charge of the first few steps. You followed his lead, handing him pieces as he needed them and occasionally building smaller components yourself.
As the minutes turned into hours, the initial awkwardness of working together faded. Acronix's lighthearted banter kept the mood from growing too serious, and you found yourself laughing more than once.
"Okay, but seriously," he said at one point, holding up a tiny piece, "what is the point of this? It doesnât even connect to anything."
"Itâs decorative," you replied, rolling your eyes. "You wouldnât understand."
"Decorative? Itâs a waste of perfectly good plastic," he argued, though his smirk betrayed his teasing tone.
Piece by piece, the Iron Doom began to take shape. The mechanical details were intricate, and you couldnât help but marvel at how well-designed the set was. Acronix, however, took every opportunity to critique the accuracyâor lack thereof.
"This doesnât even look like the real thing," he said, squinting at the almost-completed cockpit. "Whereâs the terrifying aura? The doom? This is more like the Mildly Inconvenient of the Iron Doom."
You laughed, shaking your head. "Maybe you shouldâve been a toy designer instead of a time villain."
"Nah," he said, leaning back and inspecting his work. "Toys donât scream in terror when you conquer them."
By the time you placed the final head piece on the set, both of you were tired but undeniably satisfied. The Iron Doom stood tall on the table, it was actually bigger than you thought.
"Not bad," Acronix said, crossing his arms and nodding in approval. "Still not as good as the original, but Iâll give it a solid seven out of ten."
You rolled your eyes but smiled. "Itâs perfect."
He glanced at you, his smirk softening. "Yeah. Itâs not bad. And hey, youâre not sulking anymore, so I guess my work here is done."
"Your work??" you repeated, raising an eyebrow.
"Yep," he said, plopping down on the couch with an exaggerated sigh. "Youâre happy, the Iron Doom is built, and I didnât even have to wash any dishes today. Total win for me."
You shook your head, but the warmth in your chest lingered. For the first time in days, you felt lighterâlike maybe, just maybe, things were going to be okay.
Until remembered the other last part.
.â˘âŤâ˘âŹâ˘ââ˘âŹâ˘âŤâ˘.
The sound of clinking pots and pans echoed faintly from the kitchen as you entered the dining room, rubbing your hands together. Your fingers felt like theyâd been put through a workoutâaching, sore, and stiff from hours of assembling the last tiny lego pieces. You glanced at them, flexing experimentally, only to wince at the dull, throbbing pain. Building that massive set had been worth it, but now your hands felt like theyâd gone on strike.
As you sat at the dining table, still flexing your fingers, Acronix was the first to notice you. He had just brought over a steaming dish and set it down when his eyes landed on your hands. "Whatâs with you?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. "You look like youâve just survived a battle."
You gave a sheepish chuckle, holding up your hands as if showing them off. "Itâs the Legos. My fingers are so sore I donât think Iâll be able to hold anything for the next week."
Acronix squinted at your hands, then at you. "Seriously? From Legos? Youâre telling me tiny blocks defeated you? Also why didn't you invite me for help?"
"Itâs not funny," you protested, though your lips twitched in the beginning of a smile. "Those pieces are tiny, and there are hundreds of them! Youâd be sore too if you spent hours building like I did, and I'll be fine, thanks."
"Hours, huh?" he muttered, shaking his head. "Youâre lucky Iâm not Krux. Heâd probably give you a lecture about moderation and how this is all âentirely avoidable.â"
Before you could respond, Krux appeared from the kitchen, carrying a pot of soup. His hazel eyes immediately scanned the room, and he frowned when he saw you flexing your fingers. "What happened now?" he asked, his voice tinged with exasperation.
"Legos," Acronix said, smirking as he leaned against the table. "Apparently, our dear builder here overworked themselves and now canât feel their fingers."
Krux sighed heavily, setting the pot down and crossing his arms. "And you let them do this?" he asked Acronix, who shrugged in mock innocence.
"Hey, donât blame me. They were the one who wanted to build the Iron Doom set, remember?"
"Thatâs not the point," Krux said, turning his attention to you. "You shouldâve taken breaks. Overworking yourself like this is irresponsible."
"I know, I know," you mumbled, looking down at your hands. "But I just wanted to finish it."
Krux sighed again, his expression softening slightly. "And now youâre paying the price for your impatience. Typical."
Before you could argue, Acronix swooped in, grabbing your hands gently and inspecting them. "Alright, alright, enough with the scolding," he said to his brother. "Itâs not like they broke anything. Just some sore fingers. Weâll fix it."
Krux raised an eyebrow. "And how do you plan to do that?"
Acronix grinned. "Simple. A little TLC."
A what???
He disappeared into the kitchen for a moment, returning with a bowl of warm water and a towel. Setting them on the table, he gestured for you to sit still. "Hands, please," he said, smirking.
You hesitated, feeling a little embarrassed, but when he wiggled his fingers impatiently, you relented. He took your hands carefully, dipping them into the warm water. The heat immediately soothed the soreness, and you let out a small sigh of relief.
"See? Already better," Acronix said smugly.
Krux, meanwhile, sat down at the table, his arms crossed as he observed. "Youâre coddling them," he said, though his tone lacked the usual stern type.
"Yeah, well, someone has to," Acronix shot back, carefully massaging your fingers under the water. "Besides, youâre the one whoâs always going on about taking care of your tools. Consider this maintenance."
You couldnât help but laugh softly at the bickering, the warmth of the water and Acronixâs attention making you feel cared for despite the soreness. "Thanks," you murmured, glancing between the two of them.
"Donât mention it," Acronix said, grinning. "But next time, pace yourself, alright? Or better yet, let me build half of it. Iâm pretty sure Iâm faster anyway."
"Debatable," you said, smiling despite yourself.
Krux sighed, standing and heading back to the kitchen. "Dinner will be cold if we keep indulging this nonsense," he said, though you caught the faintest hint of a smile on his face.
As Acronix finished tending to your hands and you all sat down to eat, you couldnât help but feel a little lighter. Even though your fingers were still a bit sore, but the warmth they give in this situation although with a humor in itâwas more than enough to make up for it.

GUESS WHO BOUGHT THE IRON DOOM SET, AND SUDDENLY I'M NOT ILL ANYMORE đđđ
I really need to do some krux content...y'all don't really like Acronix?? đ
We are here for you, Always.
A/n: I need a bullet through my head.
The bathroom was cold, and the harsh light above made everything feel too bright, too much. You huddled in the corner, your knees pulled up to your chest, trying to hide from the world that felt so heavy. Your breath came in ragged gasps, and every time you wiped away the tears, it only made the snot in your nose worse. It was all too muchâthe weight of grief pressing down on you, suffocating you, as if the world had closed in on your chest.
The thoughts swirling in your mind were overwhelming. It felt like nothing could fix this, that nothing could make it go away. You couldnât stop crying, couldnât stop the pain. It wasnât just sadnessâit was something deeper, something you couldnât explain. It felt like your entire existence was drowning in it, like a dark pit youâd never climb out of. No one could understand, and you didnât want anyone to. It wasnât just the sadnessâit was the frustration, the feeling that youâd never heal. You felt as though you were falling apart, and the idea of someone witnessing that, especially them, felt like it would shatter the last bits of you still trying to hold on.
You hated this every time, you absolutelyâ hated it, an unexplainable feeling gnawing on your chest as you struggle to breathe, only coming out as ragged gasps when you struggled to stay quiet.
But then you heard footsteps, faint but unmistakable. Acronix and Krux.
At first, you tried to ignore them. You couldnât let them see you like this. You couldnât bear the thought of them seeing the tears, the snot, the vulnerability. The last thing you wanted was for them to pity you. You didnât need their sympathy. You just wanted to be alone, away from their eyes. But they kept coming, and their voicesâlow, concernedâonly made it worse. You felt trapped, suffocating in their attention.
âHey,â Acronixâs voice was gentle, careful, almost too careful. You wanted to scream at him, tell him to leave. To stop acting like you were some fragile thing to be coddled. You werenât that. You werenât some helpless, broken person.
âIâm fine,â you muttered, your voice thick from crying.
âAre you?â Kruxâs voice was soft, but there was an edge of worry to it. âWeâre not leaving until you talk to us, you know.â
You didnât want them there. You didnât want anyone. You just wanted it all to endâthe pain, the frustration, everything that made you feel so lost. You shifted further into the corner, trying to make yourself as small as possible.
âLeave me alone,â you whispered, your voice hoarse from all the crying. But they didnât leave.
Acronix crouched down next to you, a respectful distance away, but his presence was still too close. âWeâre not going anywhere,â he said firmly. âWeâre here, okay? You donât have to do this alone.â
âNo,â you spat, backing away further, tears still flowing freely down your cheeks. âI donât need you here. I donât need anyone!â You wiped at your nose again, but it just made everything worse, the tears continuing to pour. You hated the weakness. You hated the fact that you were so helpless in that moment.
"You all say time heals all wounds," you murmured, the words feeling hollow. Mockingly. "But what is time?" you asked aloud, your voice cracking. Tears streamed down your face. "I don't believe in anything anymore," you whispered, another sob escaping your lips. "But if time can heal," you choked out, "or at least take me away...away from this world..." You glared at the two of them before you, then snapped, "You should have sped it up! It would be better if it could kill me once and for all!" Acronix recoiled slightly, and you immediately softened, a guilty expression replacing your anger.
Why are you blaming them, as if they were false gods? Something they cannot change, something beyond their control.
Acronixâs eyes softened, but he didnât move closer. He knew better than to push you. âLook I may not be very good at words but," He sighs. "You donât have to do this by yourself,â he repeated. âWeâre your family, you know. Itâs not about fixing everything right away, Weâre just here, Weâre not leaving.â
Krux stood behind Acronix at the door, his expression unreadable, but you could feel the weight of his gaze on you. There was no anger there, no frustrationâjust concern, deep and genuine.
You could feel your chest tighten, and despite yourself, you found yourself trembling. They were right. You didnât want to be alone in this. But you couldnât let them in. Not like this. Not when you felt so broken.
Acronix took a slow, careful step closer, sensing that you werenât ready for anything more. âI know it feels like everythingâs falling apart right now. I get that. But you donât have to pretend like itâs fine. Itâs okay to feel like this. But itâs also okay to lean on us.â
You shook your head, still refusing to look up at them. âI donât want to⌠I donât want you to see me like this. Iâm not strong anymore. I justâŚâ You trailed off, your voice cracking under the weight of the words you couldnât say.
Krux took a deep breath and finally stepped forward, standing behind Acronixâs position. âYou donât have to be strong all the time. You donât have to pretend to be something youâre not. We know you, all of you. Weâve seen you at your best, and weâve seen you at your worst. Weâre not going anywhere, not because we have toâbut because we want to be here.â
You were shaking now, the sobs uncontrollable as you buried your face in your knees, your heart aching in ways you didnât know how to put into words. You couldnât understand why it felt like this. Why it felt like there was a piece of you that was slipping away, never to return.
But Acronixâs hand was on your back now, and Krux was there too, a steady presence, even if it wasnât enough to fix everything.
Acronixâs voice was quieter now, softer. âYou donât have to heal right away, You donât have to rush it. Weâll wait. Weâre not going anywhere, not now, not ever. Youâre not alone in this.â
You didnât respond, not with words. You just let yourself cry, let the tears fall until they felt like theyâd dry up on their own. But you knew something had shifted. Even in this broken state, even when you wanted nothing more than to be left alone, they were still there. Not to fix you. Not to try to make it all better. But simply to be with you.
It wasnât much, but it was enough.
