Urgency
Given his robotic nature, most digimon assumed that Machinedramon had a rigid, machine-like personality. Most of the time, they were right.
But whenever MetalSeadramon was sick, they couldn't be farther from the truth. Machinedramon would search with urgency for medicinal herbs and then hurry back home in a huff to wait at MetalSeadramon's beck and call. He knew perfectly well that his boyfriend was a powerful, fully-evolved digimon who would be fine on his own, and yet he persisted in babying him every time he was under the weather.
It seemed to run contrary to his programming; he wasn't supposed to be an impulsive, emotion-driven creature, after all.
Machinedramon came to realize that he wasn't as perfectly designed as he once thought he was. And that suited him fine.
