"I'll ask you again; Why the hell did you try to couple that truck to me!?" Barked Violet.

"Well...uh...the stationmaster...."Stammered Onyx.

"UGH! Enough! You know DAMN well that I DON'T PULL YOUR FILTHY TRUCKS!"

Onyx shrunk away from her loud tone, nervously glancing over to the station that they were just feet from. The platforms full of staff and passenger, with every head turned in their direction, not a person noticing Rose pulling in, who wondered what the commotion was.

"Hey! Don't look at them! Don't look at them, look at me when I'm talking to you!" Snapped Violet, forcing Onyx's attention back to her. "Understand what I am going to say to you; Under no circumstances will you EVER try to couple a truck to me again. If ever even have one just five feet from me, I will turn your boiler until it points to the sky like a coffee pot, do you understand me!?"

Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt

Onyx just looked down at his buffers, not having the courage to say anything back to Violet. He knew it'd be useless anyways, because she'd just get louder, meaner, and it'd prolong the time he would spend taking her barrage of insults.

"I don't even understand why you even bother to come near me, or any of my sisters for that matter. None of us like you. Do you see that over there?"

Onyx glanced over to where Violet indicated; a scrapped carcass of an old steam engine. "THAT, is what you are to us! We were fine before and we'll be fine without you!" And that's when the trucks nearby started laughing.

Because of you I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in

Rose had heard enough, she opened her mouth to intervene, but was stopped b y the sound of her signal dropping. She glanced between the signal, Onyx, and the green flag waving. It wasn't an easy decision, but she decided to continue on her journey, despite the aching feeling of regret that wound up her springs so tightly.

That was it anyways for Violet. In a huff she backed away from Onyx, still mildly angry about the situation. As for Onyx, he remained there, looking at his running board. He glanced around; no more trucks laughing, no more turned heads from the station, just a coach that had a horrified expression on her face to which Onyx returned with a weak smile. This wasn't the first time he beared the brunt of Violet's rage, and he knew that it would not be the last....

Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you I am afraid

Because of you

"Onyx? Baby? Onyx? Oooonyyyx? You okay?"

"Huh?" Mumbled Onyx as his attention snapped to his worried boyfriend.

"Are you okay?" Asked Spencer.

"Oh yeah, I'm fine" Perked Onyx. "I just got lost in thought. What were you saying?"

"Oh, well, I know it might be a bit silly, but while the Duchess was picking flowers today, she spotted one that reminded her of you."

"Me? How so?" Spencer's driver produced a pretty black flower with gold stamen. "A hellebore flower? The color's a bit on the purple side, but I'll take it" Said Onyx cheekily.

"Oh, since when do you know so much about flowers?"

"What? I have hobbies."

But piece by piece, he collected me up
Off the ground, where you abandoned things

"So...." Began Spencer, "Doing anything today?"

"Well, I have a goods train for Vicarstown, but that's not until five. Things are a bit crazy right now since Thomas stowed away on that boat and Sir Topham Hatt went after him. Mister Percival is in charge now too, that's a thing..."

"Huh, I knew Diana was mad about something when I saw her...." There was a moment of silence between the two until Spencer spoke again. "You look beautiful today."

Onyx gave him a quizzical look. "I'm pretty sure that I look the same as i do everyday."

"Well that makes sense since you look beautiful everyday."

".....proud of yourself on that one, slick?" Chuckled Onyx.

"Mmmm...very." Purred Spencer as he rolled forward. Just when he thought he'd seal the deal with a kiss, there was that telltale 'clink!' of their buffers.

Piece by piece he filled the holes that you burned in me
Six years old

"Stupid buffers..." Grumbles Spencer.

"Aw, if only we could snap them off again." Sighed Onyx playfully.

"Yeah, but I did not like the events that lead up to that. I will admit though, that moment with you made it all worth it."

They both stood there, just silently basking in each other's presence as the lovebirds they are. It was moments like this were it felt like they were the only two engines in the whole world.

He never walks away
He never asks for money
He takes care of me
He loves me

"I love you."

"I love you too."

Piece by piece, he restored my faith
That a man can be kind and the Father could, stay
