Scout and Jimmy sat curled up on the couch in the battle tram, hand in hand and watching the movie 'Titanic'.
"I don't get why you're makin' me watch this awful movie." Scout complained loudly once it actually started, Jimmy just smiling.
"It came highly recommended."
"By who?"
"Ricky." This earned a loud groan from the Scout.
"Oh man you're kidding me right? He's my least favorite of all your goofy friends. And he doesn't even like cool stuff!" He dramatically threw his head against the back of the couch, groaning even more. "This is gonna suck!"
Jimmy just shushed the other and pulled him closer as the screen showed people boarding the ship.
As the movie continued Scout's complaining quickly became less and less frequent, and as the movie went on he even began to shush Jimmy for trying to talk.
It was pretty surprising when near the end the Scout had found himself in tears as the robot just patted his back supportively.
"This movie was good," Scout managed between sniffles. "but Ricky still sucks."
Jimmy just laughed and shook his head as his boyfriend just continued to sob awkwardly in his arms.
Before the movie Jimmy was pretty sure he understood human romance. He had never questioned it before, and if he hadn't been sure about things he sure wasn't shy to ask.
But after they had watched the movie, Scout started doing some pretty odd things under the idea of 'romance'.
Like, for instance, once Jimmy had finished reading Crash a bed time story and headed into his lab he came face to face with Scout completely naked laying on one of the tables.
"Draw me like one of your french girls." The runner purred, earning a very loud 'What are you doing?' from the robot. Loud enough to get the Commander crashing in through the doorway with Eaglebones and Ricky close behind.
"Robot what happen- OH." All three of the men stood awkwardly in the doorway upon realizing what they had just ran into.
"Well." Eaglebones mumbled before rubbing the back of his neck nervously and walking away.
"Gross." Ricky said as he crinkled his nose, following Eaglebones' lead and heading off as well. (This resulted in Scout screaming "No you!")
"Just-" The Commander covered his eyes with a hand. "Be safe kids." He said before walking out a little too quickly.
"What are you doing?" Jimmy hissed as soon as everyone was out of earshot.
"Man I don't know what their problems were." Scout sat up and stretched with a smile. "I'm fucking GORGEOUS."
"Language." Jimmy warned.
Scout shrugged, hopping off the table and casually strolling over to Jimmy with a grin. "So, about you drawing me..."
Jimmy just looked down at the Scout as the boy ran a finger along his robotic chest. "What?"
"I mean, that's what they did in the movie. It was hot right?" Scout frowned, obviously not understanding what the problem was.
"What? No." Jimmy made a face and the Scout responded with putting his hands on his hips.
"A'ight then big guy, what do YOU think is hot?"
"I'm a robot."
"Oh. Right." Scout muttered, looking at the floor off to his side. "Well."
Jimmy just sighed and shook his head. "Remind me not to let you watch any more movies like that."
"No problem." The runner laughed, folding his arms behind his head.
"And put clothes on!"
"Nah."
