Tick tock…
Another day done. Lincoln once again sat on his stool in the corner of the living room. The corner was pretty crowded at this point with nowhere to store the clothes he recently acquired from the mall. His charge dropped an extra day due to the extra activity. He would plan out his power usage accordingly next time.
Tick tock…
A door creaks from upstairs. Lincoln ready's himself for her arrival. His eyes illuminates the goth girl's decent. She is fully clothed in a large black dress that trails behind her.
"I'm glad you have awaited my return." She sulturely speaks to him.
"Of course, my duchess." He bows towards her, "I'm always ready to serve."
Lucy releases a happy squeal into her hands before continuing. Slowly she descends to him. Her pale hand brushes past his cheek and beckons him to join her on the couch. The android follows her and sits next to her.
The young girl slides herself closer and rests her cheek on his shoulder. She let's out a happy sigh escape her lips. Lincoln internally checks the forecast, it is partially cloudy.
"Quite a dreary night again."
"Why yes it is, my servant."
"..."
"..."
She snuggles into him more. The girl did not speak but enjoyed his company nonetheless. Oh this immortal being next to her, what a fascinating creature. Not exactly the vampire she was looking for but an oddity still.
"..."
"My duchess…"
"Yes my servant?" She gazes up to the boy's eyes. Those glowing eyes. She bit her lip.
"I'd like to to thank you for your lesson yesterday."
"M-my lesson?" Oh dear, did he mean?
"Yes, it was quite informative. I believe I can properly give love if so obliged to."
"R-really now?" In the darkness a blush graced her pale cheeks.
"Yes my duchess…" where is this- "are there any other lessons you could teach me?"
She pounced on him forcing them into a lying position. Oh yeah she could give him more lessons! A boy had finally showed interest in her, it was a dream come true. Not just any boy, an immortal boy who was just a pair fangs away from being a vampire. She peppered his lips with quick kisses. In his artificial mind he registered it as another strange form of CPR. As he did not need to breath, forcing air down his gears was unlikely even more so than when he tried to do it to Lori.
A toilet flushed upstairs causing the goth girl to jump. She listened...footsteps coming down the stairs! She quickly hid on the opposite side of the couch. Lincoln sat up and turned his eyes to greet the new person in the room.
"Gah!" The spindly figure was shocked when two strange lights focused on her. The girl in question turned out to be mistress Luan.
"Geez, Lincoln quite the night owl aren't you." He stared at her… "because of the eyes ya know… eh nevermind too tired."
"Mistress Luan do you require any assistance?" Lincoln asked her.
"Nah, it's fine just getting a glass of water." she paused at the bottom of the stairs. "You always just sit there with glowing eyes?" She raised an eyebrow at the android.
"No I usually sit there" pointing to his corner stool, "waiting for someone to require my assistance."
"Then why are you there?"
"Because my duchess asked me to." Hiding behind the couch Lucy's eyes widened underneath her bangs.
"Your duchess?" Luan got curious.
"Yes, she was teaching me the proper way to give love again." Luan's mouth drop. Lucy internally screamed.
"They what?" Forgetting the glass of water she quickly approaches the boy.
"Yes flowers, poems, cpr." Gasp! Luan leaned over the couch arm shocked. Lucy begins crawling to a vent to make her escape. Entering the vent unnoticed she begins making her way to her room.
"Really?!" Luan proclaimed, "Wow, you must be quite the ro-boytoy! He he! Get it?" There is no reaction.
"So what's this poem she taught you…" She wiggled her eyebrow at the boy.
"Roses are red,
The violet blue,
Come over to your bed,
And know my love is true."
"Wha?" A large blush now permeated her face. She thought the poem would have reveal it to be her sister Lucy but that is not something she would make up! "D-did they join you on their bed?"
"Yes they did." Her face was red hot and steam radiated off of it. "What are my sisters teaching this kid?!"
"They taught me this."
She had not realized her last thought had been out loud. The boy had pulled her into a sitting position and passionately placed his lip on hers. The kiss was sudden and the only thing wrong was that his lips were partially parted as if he was trying to blow into hers. Lincoln let her back up.
"Bah, bah, bah…" she bahed.
"So do you receive love?" Lincoln still had his hands on her shoulders.
"Ooohhh yeah." Wow this may not be so bad… a cute boy who's ready for loving at a moments notice sounded pretty fun. But who is teaching him this stuff cause he could use some better teaching. "Just making sure you aren't anyone's boyfriend?" Would they do that? He was only here for two days!
"I am a robot, I cannot be a boyfriend." He stated with indifference.
"Ehhmmmm~ just checking. You need another lesson how about we go over your oral delivery."
"I have no problem with my articulation."
"I'll be the judge of that." She began kissing him and guiding him.
This was not CPR!
The morning came, Luan had gone upstairs after spending nearly half an hour instructing Lincoln's delivery. Sadly, it was a school day. Lisa had revealed Lincoln Friday after school and so everyone had their fun over the weekend. With heavy hearts they would bid ado to Lincoln till later that same day. No cooked breakfast today it would take too much time, cereal all around. But tensions were high when Luan came down with a wildly looking grin. Lucy tensed up.
"Hey guys, listen to this poem I found." Luan grinned. Lucy's thought her hidden poems about Lincoln were found. She began moving to the edge of her seat.
"Ugh, what stupid joke are you going to make now!" Lola protested to being told. Not listening Luan begins.
"Roses are red…" Lucy's heart calms as it is not one of hers. Lori's pupils dilate.
"The violet blue…" While not interested at first it seemed like there'd be a quick punch line. People started paying attention just as planned. Luan scanned the crowd for signs of knowing.
"Come over to your bed…" Lori blew a mouthful of cereal. Everyone turned to her.
"Luan this is not appropriate!" While trying to sound authoritarian as usual, she had a slight pleading to her voice only noticed by Luan.
"And know my love is true…"
"Is that it?" Luna asked.
"Yeah." Luan told the group. There were grumbles of disappointment and just dumbfoundedness, "I just thought it sounded nice…"
"Thank you, mistress Luan, but I'm still unsure if I conveyed it properly." Lincoln had entered the room. The girls stared at the android who was handing packed lunches to everyone.
"Lincoln you wrote that?" Luna asked.
"No, I found it online. I lack the creative functionality to write but I wanted to convey love accordingly." Everyone in the room shifted uncomfortably, overall it was just strange that this boy was writing poetry.
"Interesting." Lisa started prodding Lincoln's panels, "I will need to study this oddity in your programming later."
"What do you mean, oddity?" Lucy asked with genuine enthusiasm seeping in.
"In the lamemens terms, Lincoln does not have emotions and can not form emotions. So why he seems to have even the slightest want to express a human emotion such as love is not possible." Lisa continued to examine him and did not register the looks on several of the girls' faces.
In Lucy's mind, by the spirits, our love has cracked his immortal soul as he now craves the knowledge of mortal emotions.
In Lori's mind, Oh my god, this kid has fallen head over heels in love with me. How do I react?
In Luan's mind, wow… Lori fucked him silly...respect.
In Leni's mind, nothing's odd about Lincy. What's Lisa even talking about? He's perfect.
In Lincoln's AI, checking for emotions… None found…
