A2 wasn't sure how she got herself in this situation, in fact, she wasn't sure of many things, but the latest ones that happened to her had to be on the list of the most unlikely ones she ever thought of.

Probably alongside taking 2B's mission for her own, making friends with Pascal and his village of machines despite her burning hatred for them, and also being alive in general.

It seemed that this world was just full of odds for her, and it didn't seem to want to stop soon.

After her revival, alongside 2B and 9S', A2 had wandered back and forth, no longer with any kind of purpose or a target to direct her negative feelings towards, she found herself alone. She even missed the constant chatter of Pod 042, he was nagging and annoying, but it had been the first thing to stay by her side in years.

A2 found herself missing company even more than she didn't have a noisy chatterbox beside her, nor 2B's voice inside her head.

Eventually, said newly revived android had come to her again, it had happened by chance one day, 9S was tailing behind her as usual, but he kept his distance that time as 2B instead crossed the space that separated them as soon as they laid their eyes upon each other, and wrapped her in an insecure yet very much welcomed hug.

A2 hadn't known how to react, unused to any kind of contact that was the blade of a weapon. She had stood there letting 2B express all her joy for having seen her again, and A2 had to admit she'd been way happier than she thought to see them two alive and well too.

That had signaled the beginning of something new, and without realizing, A2 had found herself straying closer to the duo, even looking for them herself. With time even 9S started to open up to her, though she had to suspect there was 2B's influence behind it, at least at the very beginning.

Slowly with time he understood and came to terms with what had happened, with the whole ordeal with 2B's death, he accepted that it had to go that way, and even apologized for the way he had treated her.

A2 had been surprised, but she had never truly blamed him for acting the way he did, after all, hadn't she been exactly the same after she had lost her comrades? She had simply allowed herself to be a vessel for him to focus his anger on, just like machines had been for her for the longest time.

Besides, she was more than used to having every being of the planet wanting her dead, nothing had really truly changed for her.

She had actually explained it to him, even hinting at the death of her friends, but not truly explaining him, but the smart thing he was, he understood that she just wanted him to know that she too knew how it felt to lose everything before your own eyes. And this had allowed them to be able to bond over it.

So him, her and 2B found themselves relying on each other for support. And once the couple had decided that A2 had to stay with them at the camp, she supposed she could add Anemone to the mix as well

Sometimes A2 would still favor talking about hard things with her old friend rather than bothering the happy couple.

And such they were, because when they had offered her to stay with them she had discovered, not with that much surprise, that the two had been sleeping in a single bed all along, which left the second one open and all for her.

Some days when she was unable to sleep, afraid of dreaming of bad things, she'd watch them, those two cuddling and snuggling, and even more than that when they failed to notice that she wasn't in rest mode at all, but wide awake.

2B was unfortunately one that struggled to keep quiet. She had teased them over it, but after witnessing how tender and caring for one another they were, A2 couldn't feel anything but jealousy.

Said feeling threatened to become overwhelming she feared to hurt them both, she longed for that kind of affection, that kind she only had ever had the chance to experience slightly with Number 4. She wanted too to be loved, but was afraid, afraid of rejection, afraid to harm them, afraid they'd disappear from her and never come back again.

Seeing such things right in front of her brought her nothing but pain for desiring something she could not have.

So, she ran away, she ran far from them, where she thought she wouldn't risk that her jealousy could hurt anyone close to her. They had been kind to her, but had she stayed any longer she would have exploded, literally.

They came to her once more, without asking, without demanding anything of her, but apologizing, they were sorry that their love hurt her.

"When we invited you to stay with us we meant it, because love you too." they told her, sitting at each of her side, as 2B her arms around her waist, and 9S had his head on her shoulder.

"We thought you'd come to us to your own terms, when you would have been ready, you've been alone so long we didn't want to push you."

Their words had moved her to the point of tears, she had held them tighter against her, and just called them two stupid fools with a smile on her face.

But they were her fools.

And so, the beds of their shared room became one, as they took turns as to who slept in the middle each time.

They had kept their word, they included her in their cuddling times, they held her tightly, they hugged her, tenderly caressed her, kissed her, whispering reassuring words whenever she felt too insecure because of her old and ruined body. They let her know it was okay of she touched them back, that she was not going to hurt them whenever her touches were too soft to be felt, and encouraged her to press just a bit harder.

Eventually they included her in their more intimate activities too, in the act the humans did when they loved each other, as far as they knew.

It just happened when one time they had asked if she felt more comfortable with expressing and receiving physical affection. She had said yes, and so, like that, she got permission to fully explore their bodies the way she had seen them do with each other many times before.

She'd always ask if she was being too rough, she knew her hands no longer were as soft as theirs, she had no skin left on them. They'd always answer it was okay and praised her, even though she still liked to please them with her mouth, just to feel sure herself.

A2 tasted 2B until she was nothing but a writhing and moaning mess, she rather enjoyed to draw out this side from her, so different and so lacking self control. She could hardly get enough of watching her tremble under her.

9S wasn't treated any different, she took him in her mouth just as many times it had been between 2B's thighs, he's been way less restrained with her, while 2B rarely tangled her hands in her long hair, she found that 9S was rather fond of it, and way less gentle, but she wouldn't tell him even when he pulled her hair so hard it hurt.

She supposed that part of him still may resent her, or maybe it was just the fact he wanted to prove some kind of dominance over her, she'd just let him, now that they had a more than pleasant way to settle matters than to hold each other at a sword's edge.

Some Resistance member even gifted them some kind of thing she could use and wrap around her waist, and use it to do what 9S did, though she could hardly feel anything, she couldn't help but feel pride in the way she could make them both squirm.

She had taken 2B from the front while 9S occupied her backside, and the opposite way around, she'd been stuffed in 9S' ass whenever he felt like experimenting, alone or when he was snuggled inside 2B didn't matter.

It had been good, for a while, until a new problem came along…

While all of that had been enough to feel as equal as them, to allow her to make love to them, she knew she was hardly the same way. Having to deny their requests to reciprocate had been okay for a bit, she didn't mind at first, just content to please them, make them happy because she was grateful they took her in and showered her with love beyond her imagination, had been enough until she'd started to become frustrated, and it was all her body's fault.

A mere prototype couldn't aspire to feel the same as her superior model 2B ever could. She wished she could say yes when they asked her if she wanted to be touched too, and oh yes she wanted to, but what could she get out of it if she lacked the parts she needed?

Why would Command even bother finishing up humanizing her properly when she was never destined to survive?

She tried not to think about it, and just enjoyed their sessions, and matter of fact, she did, but lately she couldn't shake off how at the end she'd always feel hot and bothered with no way to relieve herself. It left her annoyed enough to not be able to sleep sometimes, she was left there rubbing her things together with no success as it only created more tension, and only angered her further.

She hid her frustration until she no longer could. 2B and 9S had noticed there was something wrong, again, as always, and already had guessed the problem too, given how insecure and fed up she's always been about her body being different, old, and broken.

It was 2B that broke the silence first.

"We haven't actually tried though, you haven't let us touch you this way because you've been sure you wouldn't feel anything. But if you feel that hot after we do intimate things, then maybe there is a possibility that the opposite could happen." the younger android had been holding A2 on top of her, with 9S at her right side, he took A2's hand and gave a reassuring squeeze.

"I never checked so thoroughly with you, but you are definitely feeling something here, so I am positive there has to be some kind of pleasure system. Maybe not as developed as ours, but it could be there, and we're down to experiment, if you are of course. Right 2B?"

The younger android nodded, and A2 swore her hands had already begun to move lower on her back as if she already knew what she wanted. And probably did.

"And what if this is all a failure?" she could feel 2B's fingers playing with one of her exposed junctures on her side under the shirt she was wearing, always 2B's one.

"Then we'll look for another way, we can't leave you like this while we get all the pleasure and you don't, no?" 9S cocked his head to the side, and then moved closer to plant a kiss on her cheek, and then on 2B's one.

A2 looked at them both for a moment, uncertain, but it was quickly gone as they looked at her back, eager to be of help.

"If it's not too much of a problem…" she admitted and looked away, embarrassed she had to admit how much she just wanted a bit more.

She'd been starving for love, and now that she had it, she could never get enough.

9S grinned. "We've been waiting for you to say yes."

While 2B, as direct as she always was, directly guided her head down to meet their lips, A2 had been quick to reciprocate, more eager than she'd want to admit, as she hungrily devoured the other woman's lips, and then rising up to meet 9S' soon after.

A2 felt 2B's hands guide her back down on the bed, forcing her to part from 9S, but he was right on her again, as before she touched the mattress with her back he helped her take off her shirt.

The duo had insisted that she'd wear clothes and regularly bathed and kept herself in good shape over all, now that she could allow herself to wind down after so many years, besides they cared and didn't want to see her hurting herself.

However in this particular moment she wished nothing more than to throw those soft pieces of cloth aside, and let them explore her body like never before.

It seemed that 2B had the same idea, when with a questioning look she took the waistband of her shorts, wordlessly asking for permission, as A2 just raised her hips to allow her to take them off more easily. The other female took the hint and wasted no time in getting rid of the item, she did however spare a moment to gently squeeze her rear. A2 chuckled at how eager she was, and was met with a grin from the other woman.

She saw 2B approach 9S next, leaving a kiss on his lips, and whispering something in his ear that A2 couldn't hear. Whatever 2B told him, A2 only saw him nod at her.

A2 didn't have to question herself for long as to what they might have been up to, as once again 2B returned to give attention to the lower parts of her, caressing her thighs and then pulling them apart so she'd have space to settle herself in the middle, like A2 had been right in that same spot many times before, only that now the roles were reversed.

The older android had never been so self conscious to the state of her nakedness until now, with her younger counterpart looking so close to that place, that even if A2 was convinced she had little to nothing, she still felt embarrassed at the idea of 2B staring down right there so intensely.

Now she understood why 2B would always blush so hard whenever either she or 9S would do the same to her.

A2 had never felt such shyness before, and she'd been running around pretty much bare for years, but 2B's presence and hot breath against the skin of her thighs had been enough to make her temperature rise.

Meanwhile 9S had decided to settle himself on her chest, nuzzling into it, his hand coming up from its resting place on her stomach to experimentally squeeze her right breast, noticing with much surprise, A2's own in particular, how the carbon plating bent under his touch. Perhaps those things were indeed softer than they looked.

Their suspicions were only confirmed as 9S, still very carefully, tried the same motion again, meeting the same result, and then another time on the other one. A2 couldn't help but sigh softly as his hands moved on her chest, arching further into him, encouraging him to continue on when she caught his uncertain eyes, one of her hands rising to pet his hair, as he lowered his head to meet her lips.

Below she felt 2B leave a kiss on her stomach, and move her legs around so one of them was resting on her shoulder, moving lower to leave yet more kisses to both her thighs, slowly getting closer to the center.

A2 let out a soft sigh as 9S released her mouth, 2B had finally decided to get frisky herself, as she lightly traced the center of her core with a finger, she resisted the urge to close her legs as the other woman continued exploring down there.

She felt 2B's curious fingers stroking right there again, until she felt herself being gently parted, like something finally coming loose. She could barely hear 2B's gasp of surprise over her own breath, that had become much heavier than before.

9S also stopped moving his hands to glance over to the younger woman's direction. 2B raised her head to lock her eyes onto A2's ones with the triumphant smile of someone that had just found a treasure.

"You do have something down here." she nuzzled A2's leg again. "It was just very hidden."

9S grinned at her. "See? You're just like us too." he took away some of the hair that had gotten on her face before. "Want us to continue?"

A2's response was to press his hands on her chest harder, and to nudge 2B forward with her leg that was still over her shoulder. She'd never felt so pleasantly excited before, and the thought that she may finally be their equal, that she too could soak in their attention and enjoy it as much as they did was exhilarating, and wanted it to happen.

"Please..." she half sighed, half moaned, nudging them again.

She'd been patient enough with letting them explore, now that she knew the truth about her body, she wanted nothing more for them to continue on, and she wanted it now. She had been uncomfortably hot, and tingling with unresolved tension long enough.

Once again 2B took her place with her head between her legs, A2 didn't quite know what to expect and if it hadn't been for 2B holding her legs and hips she would have jumped at the contact of the other woman's tongue on her. She could feel the motors of her legs jolting with each lick of 2B's slow and precise tongue.

Instinctively she bucked against her, trying to encourage her to give her more, she wanted more of this foreign feeling coiling in her abdomen and spreading over in her entire body, her toes curled and her hand closed in a fist in their sheets, threatening to rip it with just brute force, while her other hand rose to her mouth, trying to conceal the small sounds caught in her throat that were forcing themselves out.

Lost in this feeling she almost forgot about the presence of 9S, as he made himself known taking the hand over her mouth away from where it was and leaving a kiss on her cheek, wordlessly telling her that she could allow herself to be as loud as she wanted, and that they wanted to hear her.

A2 threw her head back with a sigh, and 9S took the opportunity to attack her neck with those small bites he so loved to give, they stung a little, but never enough to be painful, all the while his hands resumed their position on her chest.

She couldn't help but moan as 2B decided she had enough of just using her mouth, as she pushed one long finger inside her. More sounds escaped her as said curious finger poked and explored that place that just a few minutes ago A2 didn't even know she had.

As 2B hit a particularly sensitive spot she couldn't help groan louder. That seemed to spur 2B further, as she touched that same spot again and again, slow and gentle, and then steadily faster and harder, seemingly wanting to draw those sounds out of her.

She could swear she also felt 9S grin against her neck. That sly thing…

However A2 had no time to think about it, as she felt the heat coiling in her lower part coil even further under 2B's ministrations, and then more and more, she gasped and sighed, thrashing around with her arms not knowing what to do, her hands grabbing anything within reach, the sheets and then 2B's head and then 9S', as she grew desperate for release…

And then it came… and it was one of the most intense feelings she ever felt.

Her legs shook wildly, her entire body trembled with pure and blissful exhaustion as she let out a long drawn out sigh. Lights danced in the corner of her eyes, her vision could have been malfunctioning because she swore she saw stars, but in this very moment she couldn't bring herself to care.

2B released her legs and rose back at her side stroking an arm while 9S did the same to the other, as they waited for her to recover and gain control of her breath again.

"Are you okay?" she heard 2B ask.

"Yeah, that looked intense." 9S added, he saw it better too.

A2 just nodded at them. "Is that how you feel? How it's supposed to feel at least." she asked 2B.

"It can be a pretty strong feeling, did you enjoy it?"

Another nod. "At least now I know I don't have to be left out." she then frowned. "But what about you two? You two need release as well." A2 briefly gestured to the evident bulge in 9S' pants.

"We'll take care of it…" he didn't manage to finish the sentence as A2 was upon him so she straddled him.

"Oh hush, we went this far, might as well go all the way."

He sighed as her weight pressed down on him. "Are you sure?"

Her response was to tug his pants down. "Do I look unsure to you?" she gently took him in her hand. "I want to know how it feels, all of it." she spoke in a lower voice.

He bucked into her and chuckled, tossing his shirt away. "All right, all right, your day, your rules."

A2 spared a glance to 2B, who already understood what she meant to ask. "I'll be alright, but, you said you wanted the full experience, didn't you?"

She had a sly look that A2 had never seen before, as she watched the other woman crawl closer to them, wordlessly she let her hands wander over A2's ass, and she gasped when she touched something back there. "I haven't found a single hole there, as you can see." she then saw her glance to the nearby drawer where they kept that toy A2 had been using until now.

"How about we reverse the roles for once, I too am curious to experience your side of things." she grinned and A2 grinned back. Who knew 2B had such a naughty side?

"Besides, I heard Nines modified that toy of yours so you could feel through that, it was a surprise but I guess you no longer need that now."

A2 glanced at 9S who sheepishly looked back. "We noticed you weren't happy for a while, so I looked for something that could please you too, it's supposed to sync with your systems so you could feel what you did as if that thing was your own, but I guess 2B gets to try it first now."

She couldn't help but feel touched from the gesture, so that's what they meant by "finding another way" if this wouldn't have worked. They wanted her to feel included even before she said anything.

2B leaned in for a kiss. "We love you, A2." she claimed her mouth again.

She was so happy she could have cried, and matter of fact, she did, but in a different way, as in the middle of the kiss, 9S used the distraction to push himself into her. Her sounds were muffled from 2B's mouth still on her, she would have cursed at him if it wasn't, and she did, mentally. That sneaky thing...

A2 was thankful that 9S hadn't yet begun to move as he waited for her to adjust to the literally sudden intrusion, her insides felt full, but not in an unpleasant way, it felt like it was meant to be that way, with him tightly snuggled into her.

She could hear him huff from under her, and she hoped it wasn't because it was hurting him. Her worries were quickly gone once he put his hands on her hips, encouraging her to move once she was ready, 2B did the same, helping her out and guiding her to the first few times she rose, and then came back down on him, and then again and again until she got the hang of it by herself.

9S still held her hips and kept guiding her to make sure he wouldn't slip out, he just stayed there beneath her, groaning softly and not moving for a little, until eventually he noticed that A2 had been confident enough in her motions to move himself, meeting her halfway with each thrust of his hips.

A2 bit her lip to stifle a moan she didn't quite succeed to stop from coming out, unconsciously coming down on him harder than she meant to, all she wanted was for him to hit that spot inside her like 2B did before with her fingers, that spot that had her tingle all over with pleasure.

Lost in that feeling she hadn't noticed that in the meantime 2B had prepared herself, strapping the toy A2 usually held on her hips, and was now standing behind her, and she very well felt the thing snuggled between her cheeks as 2B wrapped her arms around her, kissing her shoulder, and gently pushing her forward so she'd fall on 9S' chest.

A2 briefly turned towards 2B, almost considering backing out, unsure if she would have been able to take both at the same time, even though she did ask for it. Her worries were quickly gone as 9S wrapped his arms around her in a reassuring hug, then again, if 2B could why couldn't she? Her damned body of a prototype could go to hell, today was the day she discovered she would finally be able to be just the same as her partners, so why should she hesitate?

2B was remarkably patient as she pushed the toy inside, gently sliding inch by tiny inch until she was all the way in before A2 even noticed it. She bit her lip but couldn't help but moan softly in 9S' ear as she was being filled more than she ever imagined while he cursed from under her.

Once again it was 2B that moved first, thrusting into her and then 9S was quick to join her and A2 found out that she couldn't move, she was stuck between them, and she didn't mind at all, as she took them both soaking in their attentions.

She softly sighed, her small sounds being covered from 9S' own groans and sometimes more curses, and from 2B barely restrained and loud moans.

In the middle of it all 2B had leaned over, moving away her hair to one side, she left kisses on her back and neck just where 9S had been minutes before, leaving an even bigger mark. Meanwhile 9S still held his arms tight around her lower back, and she could swear he'd been digging his fingers harder in her skin even since 2B joined them.

How much time it passed they didn't know and didn't care, their thrusts became faster and more desperate, their kisses sloppier, their hands moved in a frenzy, touching and grabbing anything within reach.

A2 reached her peak first, shaking harder than the previous time, with the duo not far behind. 2B's high pitched moans filled her ears, in contrast with 9S' growls from beneath them both, A2's climax had been rather silent, a small sound pushing itself between gritted teeth as she collapsed on 9S' chest.

Her systems could barely register the other two moving themselves away and her too, she only realized it once her back hit the mattress. She lied there with her eyes closed, completely wrecked, exhausted but most importantly happy.

She could hear 2B and 9S exchanging worried words between each other, as they once again took place at her sides, holding their arms around her.

"We might have overdone it." 2B's voice came through first, and 9S only agreed with her.

Before they could say anything more, she reached out to take their hands in hers, briefly noticing that they were still shaking.

"I'm okay, just tired. You two did a number on me but heck, it was what I wanted."

The two snuggled tighter around her, wrapping her in their warmth, 2B reaching over to pull the covers on them before returning to hug her, and soon enough all three of them were walking on the threads of sleep.

"Thank you…" A2 only managed to whisper before she succumbed to her own exhaustion.

Thank you for everything you've done for me, thank you for being on my side, thank you for loving me.

That was what she had meant to say, perhaps, there would be another time...
