It's unavoidable to feel this way.
Ochobot knew it. He's just a robot, but his advance AI technology that had been programmed in his code enables him to feel what-so-called 'emotion'. He is being grateful for the chance of having something that not all robots and artificial intelligence out there have. To feel happiness, sorrow, fear, and everything revolves around it.
Including the feeling of shy and admiration.

"Ochobot, relax… He's just my dad…"
"B-but he's the famous armoured hero, BoBoiBoy! I'm shy…"
The yellow teleportation power sphera hid behind the elemental wielder as the blue LED light on his black monitor makes 2 thin acute angle lines. He held the boy's hand tightly as he tries to not directly looking at the armoured hero who happens to be his master's father.
It has been a while since the last time the father and the son see each other face to face, the last time they could remember was the time BoBoiBoy went to Pulau Rintis as his father and MechaBot escorted him to the train station. They missed one another and decided to meet even for a while on a quiet, not-so-well known planet somewhere in between TAPOPS station and the adult's working station to avoid attention from others. BoBoiBoy decided to bring Ochobot as well since he could use this chance to properly introduce his power sphere partner to him since he didn't get the chance to bring Ochobot back to Kota Hilir at that time. Initially, BoBoiBoy thought that everything will go as smooth as Cattus' belly, but sometimes, unexpected things happen.
Including this.
The yellow robot kept hiding behind the boy's back as the armoured hero tries to greet him. Despite for being a century old, Ochobot's personality is like a small child who has the idea of 'stranger danger' implanted in his mind, including towards someone who he admires. BoBoiBoy looked at the man in red again and giggled in awkwardness.
"Sorry, Dad. Ochobot is a bit shy, that's normal every time we meet new person." The boy explained. The older one nodded in understanding. He smiled,
"A shy one, huh?"
"Well, relatively, yeah."
The armoured hero once again nodded and take a few steps approaching the boy and the teleportation power sphera, simultaneously un-mechanized from his red power sphere partner, MechaBot. He bent down and reach his right hand out,
"Apologize for scaring you out, Ochobot. I was excited once BoBoiBoy told me that he will bring you along." He spoke in a gentler tone. "How about if I introduce myself from the start? I am Amato, BoBoiBoy's father."
Ochobot peeked from behind his master, take a better look of the older earthling so called 'armoured hero'. The AI saw the face of the man looking directly at him with a soft gaze and a smile, it reminds him of the face BoBoiBoy had when he interacts with the rescued power spheras. Soft, comforting, not showing any sign of harm. Ochobot took a glance at BoBoiBoy, his master. The boy gave a smile.
Like father like son, indeed.
The yellow sphere focused his attention to the armoured hero once again. He gathered his courage to let go of his grip and slowly floats beside BoBoiBoy. His blue LED eyes were still having a horizontal-oval-like shape and the size is still small compare to the default look, but at least there's an improvement. Ochobot nodded as a sign of bowing down in respect as he introduces himself.
"G-Good day, Sir Amato. I-I'm Ochobot, the ninth generation power sphera."
Amato chuckled and slowly but surely, rub the upper part of the yellow spherical robot. Ochobot made another grip towards BoBoiBoy's orange vest, but at least he wasn't running away unlike before. The man knew the fact that his son's partner is a shy guy, but he could not resist to touch him for several reasons (out of curiosity, an attempt to sooth the power sphera, and he gets urge to do so just because Ochobot is cute).
"No need the formalities, Ochobot. Take it easy." Amato continued, "My son and Aba talk a lot about you."
The yellow power sphera once again glanced at the boy in orange as if he's demanding for a confession, as BoBoiBoy nervously laughed and apologize. He knew the fact that both heroes were communicating with each other via postcards, but Ochobot had not get a chance to see what BoBoiBoy sent towards his father. He only sees the times where BoBoiBoy fell asleep after rereading the postcard he got countless times. His master probably writes a lot about him in the postcard, huh? Ochobot did not have any problem with that, but he just wasn't expecting that BoBoiBoy would talk about him with another well known hero.
BoBoiBoy laughed softly as he sits down to the ground and enjoy the scenery of the planet they agreed to meet on. Several greyish mountains could he sees from afar along with the rock pillars, sounds of flowing water could he heard from below, he sees a small lake with water coming from the spring inside the cave below. He was sitting on top of the cave opening, enjoying the view and wonder what's behind the horizon as the middle-aged man walked approaching the boy and sits beside him. They had a silent moment, letting the boy to observing the surroundings as he waits for something he expect his son to say next.
"This place…" BoBoiBoy opened his mouth. "It was the one on the postcard you gave me at that time, right?"
Amato made a certain gesture with his left hand where the thumb, pointer and middle fingers pointing out as the other two fingers kept folding inside.
"Bingo. I know you would say that."
BoBoiBoy giggled after he managed to connect the dots. He looked at his father and MechaBot as Ochobot gave the confused look. Amato who's been observing Ochobot since the beginning moved his hand signing for the teleportation power sphera to come to him. MechaBot gave Amato his phone back to his master as the armoured hero unlocked the device and open the gallery app. Ochobot paid attention to what his master's father ding as the boy looked at them. He was glad that now, at least, Ochobot wasn't trying to hide again. Amato snickers as he found the right picture on his phone and showed it to Ochobot.
"This… this is the postcard that sir sent to BoBoiBoy, right?"
"Correct! Thank god I took the picture of it. You see the scenery in the picture?"
Ochobot looked at the picture again. "Uuuh…. Ha-ah?"
"I took the picture and print the postcards myself. It's not exactly the same from here since it was taken from down there." The man explained as the yellow robot nods.
"The photograph looks stunning, sir." The bot complimented. Amato laughed while scratching his back side of his head and looked away.
He was flustered.
It's been a while since the last time other person compliments him, his works required him to stay in his office base lately, without the need to go out and wonder another planet. Meeting with BoBoiBoy and Ochobot was such a refreshing time for him since he now can actually go outside of the station and meet someone else after so long staying alone with only MechaBot that keeps accompanying him, and admiral Maskmana who came to visit once in a blue moon.
"Get yourself together, man." Said MechaBot as he slapped the man's back from behind hard enough to get Amato's mind in place again, though it ended up making the armoured hero a bit cranky.
"Is the slap really that necessary?"
"Well, you couldn't keep yourself together, at least that snaps you out and regain your focus."
"That's hurt! You were made out of metal!"
"You hit something worse in the past and now you wanna whine just because of me slapping you?"
"That was long ago! I am now old! My back hurts!"
"Well, not my fault for your natural degeneration process..."
"You metalic junk—"
BoBoiBoy and Ochobot laughed seeing the experienced partner's interaction towards each other.
Chaotic, but in a good way.
They were not so different from him and BoBoiBoy, Ochobot thought. Although Amato and MechaBot already had more experience in becoming a hero and more mature individual, the wild chaotic side still remain between them. Ochobot wished that he could still have the bond with BoBoiBoy no matter how time flies, just like how Amato and MechaBot maintain theirs. But again, the yellow power sphere still a bit concerned with the way the older pair fights.
"B-BoBoiBoy, should you stop them?" asked Ochobot as he looked at the boy. But his tired-looking face says something else.
"Nah, let them be. It happens on daily basis back then. They can handle this on their own."
"…. You sure?"
"Unless you want me to be in trouble as well, or you can try to calm them down, I don't mind."
"You expect me to stop them? You know that I can get nervous when talking to your father?"
"But you're way older than him?"
"Well, true. But still? You're his son, you have the responsibility greater than i am for this?"
The conversation turned to a heated argument in such a short time, it even able to stop the previous argument between the armoured hero and the mechanization power sphera. The older man and power sphera pat the boy and the smaller robot.
"Whoa… Kids, take it easy, no need more argument here." Shouted Amato as he holds Ochobot, while MechaBot pulls BoBoiBoy back from Ochobot.
"You both didn't learn from our mistake, huh?" murmured MechaBot. He continued his words with a greater volume, "We know we're more senior than you guys, but don't copy on what we're doing wrong!"
It didn't take long for the young ones to cool down, since they naturally have cooler temper and tamer personality compare to the older ones. The younger ones looked at each other and then look at the armoured hero partners in turns. They laughed. No matter how wholesome and precious their relationship and bond look between the master and the power sphera, there has to the times where they argue and fight each other. BoBoiBoy and Ochobot learnt that they aren't so different from the older ones, the one they admire and look up to, though Amato and MechaBot acted more wiser at times since they are more experienced adults.
They are different, but not so different. They are way more similar than they thought, but they still have their own unique charms.
They spent their time they have by sharing experience and knowledge, as well as sharing food they brought to the meeting place. Soft breeze blew from the east as they watched the sun about to set on the west, right in front of them. Amato grabbed the boy's shoulder and pull him towards his body to share the warmth, as he hugs Ochobot with his left hand. Ochobot felt a bit nervous, but he could not do anything in his spherical form. He decided to do nothing and chill in with the earthlings, besides, the way the armoured hero holds him is similar to the way BoBoiBoy hugged him. Comforting.
MechaBot landed on BoBoiBoy's lap and transformed to spheric form as well, saving up his energy in case of an emergency. The boy rubbed the red power sphera.
"It's been a while, MechaBot."
The mechanization robot weakly chuckled.
"Yeah, it's been a while."
Ochobot looked at BoBoiBoy and MechaBot's interaction, they were close. His blue LED eyes looked at the older man, wanting to ask the question, but the caped man already figured out what it is. He took a glance at his son and his power sphera partner, and then take turn to look at Ochobot and gives him a soft smile. Ochobot who wasn't expecting to have an eye contact with the armoured hero get startled and let out a small gasp. Amato giggled and rubbed the AI.
"My son already know about my identity and job as a superhero since he was very small, MechaBot was also helping me in raising him up."
"O-oh… that makes sense, s-sir." The power sphera responded as he looked at his master and the other power sphera. He knew that MechaBot was already accompanying him way before he does, but to have the feeling of envious and jealousy are inevitable.
"Don't worry, little one. No matter how long and close they are, MechaBot's master is still me. He'll never gonna have BoBoiBoy as his master—"
"OI!"
The red robot gave a menacing look on the middle-aged man. MechaBot opened his mouth,
"YOU. ARE NOT. MY MASTER. YOU STOLE THE DEVICE!"
"But you TOLD ME TO?"
"THAT DOESN'T MAKE YOU, MY MASTER!"
" ? ? ?"
" ! ! !"
The younger ones could only watch the two argued again and giving a tired look.
"Oh man, here we go again…" said them in unison.
MechaBot opened his flaps and quickly hug torso of the elemental wielder. BoBoiBoy had no idea with what's in the robot's mind just can question on it's doings.
"THIS BOY IS MINE! NOT YOU!"
"e-EEH!?"
BoBoiBoy who was shocked with the statement directly stands up and question the mechanization robot.
"MechaBot? B-but you are dad's partner?"
"I know you since the day you born, I took care and babysit you day and night, I took you to the school, so you are mine!"
"H-huh?"
The circuit of the yellow power sphera heated fast, Amato could feel it with his hand. The emotion of anger and envious filling up the motherboard of Ochobot real quick, even the exoskeleton heats in seconds. The man hissed and sighed in pain as he lifts his hand from Ochobot. The spherical robot opened the flaps again and turn to the usual form.
"That's. it." He said. "BoBoiBoy is my partner!" the teleportation robot float quickly and grab the boy's left hand, pulling him towards his side.
"No, MINE! I TOOK CARE OF HIM SINCE HE'S WEARING A DIAPERS!"
"I GAVE HIM THE ELEMENTAL POWER, I TAKE CARE OF HIM IN PULAU RINTIS, I'M HIS PARTNER!"
"HE'S MY TINY HOOMAN!"
"MY MASTER!"
The power spheras were now pulling the orange dinosaur-cap boy's hand, they pulled one each. BoBoiBoy looked at Ochobot and MechaBot in turns, then he sighed.
"I knew this thing gonna happen someday…." He thought. He then looked at his father who was standing in front of him, from a distance. Looks like he didn't want to get involved into the conflict. BoBoiBoy made an eye contact with him and show his pleading face, but the old man's respond tells something else. He showed his iconic smirk and 'that gaze', that soft gaze yet annoying even BoBoiBoy wants to punch him. That face, that one face. That one sneaky face. If that face was intended to BoBoiBoy, it can only mean one thing.
"Pandai-pandai berdikari, Anak Ayah."
BoBoiBoy half-closed his eyes and straighten his mouth. He exhaled hard and murmurs two sentences.
"Ayah tak boleh pakai. Terbalik, la."
Amato, who apparently can read BoBoiBoy's lips movement, laughed. At times, seeing his one and only son struggling entertains him well, but of course, he knew the boundary. In this kind of situation, it's still under control, no need for him to interfere the conflict and he believe that BoBoiBoy could solve the problem himself.
BoBoiBoy looked that both power spheras in turn again. His both hands were getting tired since the robots pulled him from both directions. Guess he had to act a bit tougher this time.
"Guys, guys, enough!" he shouted as he pulled his hand inward. MechaBot and Ochobot who were not expecting him to shout, release the hand of the earthling. They then realized, what they were doing, was wrong. They hurt BoBoiBoy's hand. The robots were floating towards him and apologize for what they've done wrong. BoBoiBoy smiled as he sees them both.
"You don't have to fight against each other over me, you know that?"
Ochobot took a glance at MechaBot and look back at the boy again. Same MechaBot did.
"Sorry, BoBoiBoy. I went out of control."
"Our jealousy controlled us. You see, it's very unusual to see a person who could develop a bond with more than one power sphera. Maybe that is why we were being possessive." MechaBot explained. "We never experience this kind of scenario before."
BoBoiBoy smiled and hug both power spheras at the same time. He chuckled,
"Awwh, Ochobot, MechaBot, i would never pick on one side only between you guys. You guys both are my family!" BoBoiBoy looked at the power spheras one by one. He then continued, "Ochobot, you are my partner, my power sphera partner. Even though I know MechaBot longer before you, I'm still not going to be his master. MechaBot belongs to dad, and you are with me."
Ochobot closed his eyes and giggled. Boboiboy opened his mouth again.
"MechaBot, even though I am not your master or anything, even though i met Ochobot or anything, that doesn't mean you are less valuable than you are back then. You're still the same Uncle MechaBot that I know! I love you as a part of the family, MechaBot."
MechaBot looked away for a moment and look back at the boy he used to raise along with Amato. He grew up so much in the span of 3-4 years. He still could not believe that the boy who was talking before him, was the same tiny human he carried back then. The red robot smiled.
"I understand."
Proud. MechaBot felt proud. The tiny human he took care long ago has grown up well. Being able to stop arguments and fight when needed, as well as acting so wise in the middle of a conflict. Of course MechaBot knew that the boy still has a lot thing to learn, but he knew the flame sparks inside, the potential the boy has, to become a great hero, power sphera protector and a partner for Ochobot.
"Finished with the argument?" the grown-up man asked as he walked approaching the three intellects. BoBoiBoy looked at his father with the annoyed look.
"Dad, you're not helping at all."
Amato chuckled as he took away the orange dinosaur cap from the boy's head and ruffle his fluffy bushy hair. BoBoiBoy giggled with his father's doing. It's been a long time since the last time they did this. Feels comforting. The power spheras smiled while they look at the father and son strengthen their bond that hasn't been polished for a while, as Amato put the cap back on the boy's head and fix its position. BoBoiBoy looked at something inside the man's trouser pocket and asked about it. The white-streak haired man nodded and smirked. They both quietly laughed as the man gave the object to the boy.
"MechaBot…" said BoBoiBoy. "You said that you want me to become your master, right?" he asked as he showed what he holds on his right hand. He smirked in victory as MechaBot shakened.
The mechanize device is now in BoBoiBoy's palm.
"B-BoBoiBoy, no! I didn't mean it seriously back then. I-I only want to annoy Amato—Please! That was a joke! Amato is still my true master!"
BoBoiBoy looked at the mechanize device he holds again and rubbed it slowly with his left hand. He snickered,
"Huh… But it's been a while since the last time we play 'mechanize-mechanize' again… now since we are still here, let's play once again!"
"BOBOIBOY, NO!"
"I wonder if I can mechanize my elemental weapon with you…."
" , N O ! ! !"
"MECHABOT, MECHANIZE!"
.
.
.
The yellow robot and the armoured hero (without the armour, currently) watched the elemental hero and the red robot 's chaotic time from behind. They are exhausted seeing their partner's doing, so they just decided to make a distance just for safety measure. Ochobot looked at the adult and asked,
"Was BoBoiBoy always been like that before, s-sir?"
"He's always been cheeky since he was small, that is why MechaBot was scared and a bit annoyed when he asked to play mechanize with him."
"...huh…"
"Never thought that he would be this chaotic now. I thought he'd be much more cooler and calmer now."
"He is, sir. But once his switch turned on, he's wild. Merepek."
"Agree with you, little one."
Amato stood up and look their surroundings. He looked at Ochobot.
"Would you mind to open a portal to my station for me, little one? I think my old self had enough chaos for today. I'll grab a portable charger from the office. You can charge while waiting."
"S-sir?"
"You can return it back once they are done with their stuffs."
"Sounds like a good plan."
Ochobot opened a teleportal once he got the coordinate from the armoured hero.
"Your teleportal, Sir."
"Thank you, Ochobot."
