Yeah. Yeah, I think I do.

[ close enough to smooth some of those robodreds out of her face... ]

'Less y'can think a' anythin' better.

[heartlessglitch]

[ it's probably a little creepy and unnatural, the quick seamless way she moves to catch him by the wrist when he touches her. her stare is still unwavering, unreadable. her grip is a bit tight.

finally, she leans her cool forehead against his. ]

This may not be a good idea.

[ex_engineers208]

[ it's certainly not creepy for him―he nuzzles in close in reaction, nose and mouth just to the side of hers, skin warm.

his fingers lightly trace circles on her wrist, in turn. ]

It isn't. [ softly, in acceptance: ] But that's alright.

[heartlessglitch]

[ feeling the pulse in his wrist is reassuring. lowly, so that her voice is almost just a mechanical little hum of sound: ]

I am lonely without you.

[ex_engineers208]

[ if she's paying attention (of course she is), she'd feel his lips part, notice that level of cortisol swell in his body. ]

I miss you.

[heartlessglitch]

[ a twinge of conflicting emotion has her grip tightening with bruising force for a moment before she abruptly lets go. there is something suppressed in her tone, like her intention is to be in control, to be rational, to be like a machine, but something like frustration gives her words an edge, even though she doesn't raise her voice. ]

Why can we not be together?

[ her smooth metal hands reach up to grasp his face, her stare searching, her fingers pressing into soft human flesh. this close, with no space between them, she could count his eyelashes if she wanted. she can feel and see all the things that make him a living being. ]

What is the purpose of having these feelings if I cannot act on them?
What function do they serve now?

lmao how did meme tags become log tags

[ex_engineers208]

[ there's no wince, no adverse reaction to her momentarily harsh grip except for a light exhale. he closes his eyes, and opens them yet again. ]

Can't we be together?

[ his arms curl wide around her and he pulls even nearer, keeping her close. it's less of an intimate gesture and more of something rather desperate and maybe something rather fearful, clutching at her in the terror of potential loss. her solidity echoes a buoy in the midst of his always self-imposed isolation. this may be a comfort, but it may be making his own problems heavier. less manageable. ]

Please.

UNACCEPTABLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEE!@!!!!!!

[heartlessglitch]

[ it's almost overwhelming to be this close to another living thing. she can't feel him, not the way that humans feel each other physically, but her sensory receptors are picking up almost everything else, all the details, saving them, processing them, immortalizing them.

in a her straight-forward way, but not harsh-- almost gentle, even, as much as she knows how to be: ]

Do you not wish to be with your wife also?
Do you not require that specific human contact for happiness?

LMAO ACCURATE

[ex_engineers208]

[ for a moment, his eyebrows furrow in a blur of half-thought. the instinct to tighten his grip on her back only ends with him wincing at the unpleasant sound and sensation of his nails raking across an inch of it. ]

How close d'you really think we are? At home, how close did y'reckon we were?

[ he has to say it. just once, he has to mention it.

(lmao w/e no kissing on this meme ever) ]

I started askin' y'out while Lil was alive. When she was on Utopia.

NO KISSING EVER JUST RUBBING FACES LIKE LEMONGRABS A+

[heartlessglitch]

[ there's a processing pause, her stare unwavering and neither entirely unkind nor particularly sympathetic. just watching, considering before she responds: ]

I have theorized that you may behave distantly towards her.
Perhaps because you are afraid to emotionally invest in that which is fragile and impermanent, as humans are.

[ another pause. ]

I don't know what the status of your relationship is currently.
However, I am aware that she feels strongly for you and that she is uncertain enough to require frequent reassurance.
That is why she so often confronts me.
Eventually, you must offer her certainty, one way or another.
