Joined up in the Eustass Kid Week event. Basically, from the 4th to the 10th (his brithday) We are contributing something to Eustass Kid. Each day for the week, we are to use a letter from his name and have a theme. Clearly, I decided to just write a story, so the titles would have to match up. Anyways it's on tumblr, but I wanted to have it on fanfiction as well. I was going to wait, but I'm just gonna start putting it up.
Disclaimer: Eiichiro Oda owns One Piece, this is just written for fun. I only own whatever plot I've created.
Creating a Heart
Exordium
Kid took a step back, staring at his creation. One more thing and it's done. He walked around to the back of it and flipped a switch activating the android up. If it started up like he had planned it to, then this without a doubt would be his greatest masterpiece.
When he returned back to the front, looking into the machine. It's eyes slowly started to open like a human waking up after a long slumber. The head tilted up, looking Kid right in the eyes. Eustass stepped back a few steps before motioning it to follow him.
The android followed after, the movement was smooth and didn't have a mechanized sound when in motion. Something Eustass was proud of. He wanted to make sure of it. He wanted to make sure, it looked and acted as human as possible. Now the only thing he had to figure out was how to program him.
Trafalgar Law, that's what he had decided on calling the android. Though the android was voided of any emotion, he had kept him company while he was home. He decided the best way to fix this was through movies. Whatever movies he had, he allowed him to watch it while he was gone to understand people better.
Kid continued to tweak him, but eventually found there wasn't much left besides weekly maintenance. Though he was working on a way to remove that too. The only thing left was to work on the vocal box and emotions. Unfortunately both issues weren't something easily fixed.
"Eustass-ya." A mechanical voice spoke.
Kid looked up, pushing his googles up against his fiery red hair. The voice reminded him that he would need to continue working on his vocal box. Since the beginning, he always had a verbal tic. At first he thought it was something with the he program, but soon found Law only had it after a person's name. It didn't sound just right to him, but he found it charming so didn't bother with it. He did have to work on the how mechanized it sounded.
His attention looked back down at the re-wiring. He was in the middle of remodeling and fixing the android's arm after an accident involving slamming the door onto it. "What is it, Law?"
"Why do people get tattoos on their bodies?"
Eustass shrugged. "Depends on the person, they get it for different reasons. There isn't a single right answer for that." He never mind ink, but he never gotten around to getting one, nor did he find he wanted one. "Why, did you want some?"
"I do not know. They look interesting in the movie. I understand it involves maintenance at first, but I do not know how I would be able to get one when it involves needles. Would it break the wires in certain areas?"
"How did you figure that out?" His head immediately looked at his computer in the corner noticing the screen was on. "You figured out my password?"
"Your birthday is not a sufficient password, Eustass-ya."
He frowned, if he hadn't known that the man couldn't have any emotions, he could imagine a smug smirk on him. "It's the easiest to remember."
"People would break into it very easily, you should clear your history as well." He spoke easily, looking at the screen again.
"What were you doing in my history?!"
"I was curious on what you look at. I often see you on there for long periods of time."
Eustass let out a sigh. "Well I did tell you to understand people so you can interact with them." He finished up the arm and walked over to reattached the arm back onto the body. "Alright, that should do it."
"What happened to your hand?" Law's grey eyes stared at the bad stitching job on his left hand.
"Huh?" He looked down at his hand before realizing it. "Oh yea, forgot about that. Had an accident with a knife."
"You seem to be accident prone or causing accidents, Eustass-ya."
Eustass flushed in embarrassment. "I am not! We are not talking about this anymore." He walked away to his computer. "I'm going to work on something, do what you want."
Law nodded as he left, heading back upstairs.
