@takeaims //give the world what it wants

@dxplicate_ // this is the opposite of what I was wanting but now I’m even more tempted 50 year old man over here being a puppy someone should run him over

𝐤𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐭. the urge to make an 🔞 alt for aurelio so I can write pathetic puppy rel is sooooooo strong rn can someone slap me

@LOCKEBOUND "no, it's kinda sweet." she smiled, feeling more at ease, maybe seeing him just as flustered helped her relax. "we can go cuddle if you wish."

@dxplicate_ Welp, she caught him on that. He couldn't help but feel a red hue covering his face. " W-well. . .I jus' want t' be closer t' ya. That ain't a big issue, is it? "

cowboys.

@LOCKEBOUND she blinked with surpise, a small laugh soon leaving her. "we both just got up and you are eager to go back to bed and cuddle already?"

@dxplicate_ " . . .oh. " Well, this kinda shocked him. He's been in a bubble, forgive him. For now, his eyes locked right back to hers with a smirk resting on his lips. " Well, suga'. Y' wanna cuddle in m' room to celebrate th' relationship? "

@LOCKEBOUND "i'm not an omnic but. there are plenty of ones that do date humans." it was a common thing, it made her happy, she just had never expected someone like cole...would want to be with her, android or not.

@dxplicate_ " Usually, yes. It's more of th' question of. . .can a human 'nd an Omnic date? " It's a valid worry. After all, when the Omnic crisis happened everyone turned their back to the machines. So for someone to openly date an Omnic? A little worrying.

@LOCKEBOUND she soon lifted her hand, composing herself and gathering her thoughts. "well, isn't that what comes after a confession?"

@dxplicate_ " Well, y'r still standin' right here. " Both hands came from behind and were placed against her back, pulling her real close to him in a soft and caring manner. " . . .so, what now? Are we an item? Are we datin'. . ? "

@LOCKEBOUND she looked at him, almost in awe, but the words that came from him, made her flustered all over again. this time, with her freedom, she leaned forward, hiding her face in his shoulder. "i thought i was going to malfunction during all that..."

@dxplicate_ After a couple of seconds of his lips on hers (even if they were hardlight), he pulled himself back from her faceplate with an embarrassed look splattered across his face. " So, uh. . .y' come here often jus' to kiss cowboys? " He's trying to play his embarrassment off.

@LOCKEBOUND even if her face consisted on hardlight, she could feel the warmth of his lips, hands quickly moved to his shoulders, tense at first but soon quickly melting into the kiss. it being everything she dreamed of.

@dxplicate_ " Good. 'Cause I've been needin' this, too. " A slow, passionate pair of lips landed on Echo's. Hands slowly wrapping around her waist like he would dissappear after this kiss, desperately clinging onto her chasis. This felt like everything he needed and then some.

@LOCKEBOUND she froze, her programming so jumbled up at the suggestion of the kiss but, soon she nodded. "...yes, please."

@dxplicate_ " What, do I need t' kiss ya' t' prove my point? " He chuckled at his own little joke, except he moved closer. Damn near inches away from kissing her and making this official in a way. " . . .well, Echo? Do I? "

@LOCKEBOUND "...it would make me very happy and relieved." she admited, she never expected this, she never thought...he would actually feel that way towards her. "you aren't just saying that to get a rise out of me...right?"

@dxplicate_ " . . . " He stood there, really thinking about this situation. An Omnic which can learn and process information at a rapid pace. . .loves him. This is so strange to him. " . . .and what if I feel th' same way towards y'? "

@LOCKEBOUND she nodded, gaze flicking down, "y-yes...i am..." she stammered, she felt so foolish, she thought she'd be more composed during something like this.

@dxplicate_ Well, that completely broke his little act then and there. His face flushed a deep red, eyes staring into hers like her soul was lying. Yet, he knows her too well for her to lie. " Y'. . .y' serious, Echo? " Not asking in a negative tone. More of a curious and shocked tone.

@LOCKEBOUND he left her even more stunned, he wanted her to keep going, to keep telling what she felt around him, even going as far to hold her face so she couldn't get all shy and hide from his gaze. "...i..." she struggled to find the words. "...i do feel love towards you..."

@dxplicate_ His eyes suddenly narrowed down to her. She wouldn't have felt like 𝘛𝘏𝘈𝘛 towards him, would she? No, no. It was a fool's fantasy. However. . .now he's too curious to stop now. " Keep going. " The other hand coming up to rest at her face, keeping her looking straight at him.

@LOCKEBOUND optics when wide when he turned her head to look at him, she felt like she was going to malfunction right there in front of him when he did that. "you make me...act all foolish, like i can't think straight-"

@dxplicate_ " Excited, huh? " And now he's standing right in front of her. One hand sliding upside her cheek and forcing her to look at him, wanting to see her crack in his palms. It was cute. Real cute. " What else, Echo? "

small baby bird screaming

@LOCKEBOUND "oh well, i mean-" oh, he was cracking her composed and proper demeanor more and more by the second. she looked away, unable to look at him without getting more flustered and unable to speak right. "i always get excited when i see you, so-"

@dxplicate_ " Now, who said that? " Working just as planned. Taking another step closer, completely ignoring the coffee just for him to get a rise out of Echo. " I jus' simply asked what y' feel when y' look at me. And do be honest, hun. "

@LOCKEBOUND "huh-?" she quickly looked up at him, stunned before quickly getting flusttered again. "a-are you trying to ask if i-? feel love towards you-?"

@dxplicate_ " . . .oh? " Well, now he wanted to see how far he could push the envelope. Staring directly into her eyes, he gives her a little smirk. " Then tell me, hun. What do y' see when y' look at me? What do y' 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭? "

"it's how i was built, perhaps you'll be disapointed that i just fall into a mold of my own." she examined her, expression falling. "i am sorry if i offended you, i meant in helping in not being so...rude."

@LOCKEBOUND "...i do, i am able to feel the way humans do." she spoke softly, her fingers fidgeting. "i was built to adapt and grow, it's what the doctor wanted for me."

@dxplicate_ " I'm jus' teasin'. I don't know if y' have the same feelings as humans do. Y'know, love and all the works. " Silently brewing himself a nice hot cup of coffee, thinking about Echo and. . .alot of other things.

She stopped, just inches away from her. "Because I don't seem trapped-?" She felt trapped, in that mold. Gaze flicked down, quiet for a moment before returning her look to the other. "Then, I will help you improve if you'd like."
