[A/N: straight up, WALL-E is a character that i've been absolutely bonkers for since they announced the movie. I went to the promo website eeeevery day. But uh, i can't seem to make a good self-insert character to pair with him. Soooo i'm gonna use M-O instead bc he's a cutie. Hope i portray him correctly. And i should note that this isn't how i see WALL-E: it was pretty much 'love at first sight' for me, but i want M-O to be ic for this. I know i lose it partway in.

This is basically bg for M-O and his perspective of what happened, and then the stuff after that, started in July '21. I kinda hc that the robots talk to each other in their beeps and tones in a way that people can't understand so i'm writing what they say in parentheses. Sorry if it's distracting.

I am a Microbe Obliterator created by the almighty Buy N' Large Corporation, designated to work on the Jewel of the BnL Starliner luxury space cruise ships: the Axiom. Specifically, i was chosen as the head of the squadron that cleans the Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator units that return from… I don't know, somewhere else. We clean them of foreign contaminants that they pick up, destroying any bacteria and fungi and viruses that may have attached themselves to the units, ensuring that no alien microbes enter the human containment areas, keeping them all safe.

Call me "M-O."

I've been doing this for years and years now. As soon as the EVE transport unit returns home, we are on those suckers like iron on a magnet.

They don't usually come back too dirty: just a few spots here and there that have some yucky stuff on them. The whole job only takes a few minutes, even with dozens of EVE units. We clean them up, polish them off, make them pretty again, and then my squad and i go back to our docks and wait until the next ship comes in for us to clean. It's a pretty nice gig, compared to the other M-O units on the Axiom. They have to clean up after, ehgck, the humans. Now that's a nasty job.

Oh yeah. It was all nice and good. Until… HE came along…

He was disgusting!!! Absolutely covered with grime and DIRT. He was filthy! I could swear that there was about five centimeters of just GUNK sticking to every last bit of him!! It was horrible!!!

Naturally, i had to get on top of it. I scrubbed and i scrubbed, but it almost seemed as if he was made of filth himself!! But it wasn't as if it was just sticking to him, either: he rolled forward a bit and left a horrid mark on the ground. Dirt was all over his treads! AND THE NERVE THAT HE HAD TO TOUCH THAT NASTY THING TO MY FACE!!!! OH MY BNL, I WAS ANGRY!!! He was SO lucky that GO-4 bailed him out!!!

I could have left it there. I maybe should have left it there. But he left a putrid trail of mud behind him when he followed after that 'positive' EVE unit. It went right over our designated light trail: the light trail that all of BnL's properly operating robots are hardwired to follow, no matter what. Right where i was supposed to roll over. My coworkers didn't even notice (which is why i'm the one at the head of this task unit, duh), but i did. I was infuriated. I knew that i NEEDED to do something about it: it was in my code, in my programming.

So i did it. I took a leap of faith and i jumped the line. I jumped the line, and… nothing happened. I was still functioning, perfectly fine. Still completely able to wash away that nasty dirt trail that jerkwad left behind, and boy was i going to. I scrubbed the floor up and down, until not one tiny spec of dirt was left: not one little itty bitty organism remained.

I followed the trail all the way from the EVE dock, through the maintenance halls, into the human's commuting trails (great, he got into the human containment areas…), and to the Lido Deck. I guess i must have been at it for a while. I thought it was light hours when i started following the dirt, but when i looked up again, it was dark hours. Oh well. It looked like he knew where he belonged, because his trail ended at a garbage shoot. Good riddance!

But that didn't mean that my job was done: even amongst the waste could that… contaminant… spread those nasty germs everywhere. One wrong move and this whole ship is stricken with some vile alien sickness, and all of the people would be goners! Nooo, i wasn't done quite yet. I had come too far to give up. I needed to finish what i started, to fully complete my directive.

So i took another leap. I jumped in. I jumped into the foul, putrid human trash. I was a mess, i was disgusting! But i wasn't foreign. I quickly scanned over everything, and i found him. I found that awful germ-infested rust bucket. I rushed at him, the only thing on my mind being to get rid of those microbes. But i didn't realize why those huge doors that he was behind were closing. The WALL-A units had just prepared a haul of junk to be disposed of into space, and he was inside one of the massive garbage cubes. I guess it was lucky for him that an EVE unit was there to get him out of it; and lucky for both of them that i was there to catch the door and be her anchor.

When the WALL-A units realized that there was an issue in the trash disposal, they shut it off and let the three of us back inside. Those lugs were kind enough to share their headlights with us (though maybe they should have continued compacting garbage, in retrospect… Ah, i'll let it slide.) I don't know what EVE 1 was doing. She scanned over this "WALL-E" unit and then flew off somewhere.

Now that i was able to touch him while he was standing still, i went to town on the sucker. I scrubbed his metal slabs, between his gears, every last corner and crevice… i made sure he was CLEAN. I even went over a few places a couple times to make absolutely certain that no little microbe slipped through the cracks.

After a few minutes, my scans revealed that he was completely free of microorganisms. He was a job well done, and it was almost worth chasing him down to get to see that result screen. "ALL CLEAN." Satisfied with my work, i put my brush away in its holder and i returned to a neutral position, waiting with him for EVE 1 to return.

And that was when it happened. That's where my hard drive really went haywire. He turned to me, completely innocently and genuinely, and he introduced himself to me. He did that, even though i was feverishly after him since he got onboard. It was like he didn't mind that i (mud) tracked him down, and he just wanted to say 'hello.' It was so odd. It was so… endearing.

He held his hand out, with the little energy that he had from whatever he had been through up until then, and he said his name. "WALL-E." I was taken aback. But i guess i figured that i was obsessive and weird about this guy so far, so introducing myself to properly meet him would be pretty appropriate. I was still cautious of the remaining stains on his metal, so i quickly scrubbed his hand before placing my brush in it to shake it as i said my own name.

He seemed to be a little bit dazed. He repeated my name to make sure that he understood it right. "'M-O??'" He got it right, and… it felt kind of nice to hear someone say my name. So few ever really address us cleaners unless it's to point out a mess. I looked at his tired little face again and let him know that he was correct. He looked as if he was thinking about it after the exchange, and of course my telling you this shows that i was, too.

And, i think, it was more than just how… "tender" the exchange seemed to be. He was clearly exhausted of ability. When EVE 1 came back with old motherboards, i finally saw that his was completely fried with a huge hole in it! It was incredible that he was able to run at all in that state!!! And that… he went beyond conserving his strength just to greet me. I… i was so moved by that…

I became so worried about him. He was so nice, already so dear to me, that i needed to watch and make sure that EVE was going to take care of him. He gave her something from his compartment (that i will admit was really disgusting and triggering to see that he had inside of him) and she tossed it to the side. She opened her fingers at him for some reason, but he just pushed her away. He struggled to get to the object, the "plant," and he offered it to her again. I wasn't aware what it meant to them, but it must have had something to do with getting him to where his spare parts were stored.

That clicked with EVE and she understood why the "plant" was important. She scooped up WALL-E to get the two of them out of there and take the plant to wherever it needed to be. She was about to fly off, but WALL-E weakly turned his head to me and called for me to join them. He didn't forget about me, even then. I forgot me, but he didn't. He clicked out a little latch on his back so that i could cling onto him, and EVE blasted her lazer at one of the garbage shoots in the ceiling so that she could fly us out of the trash ward.

On the way up to one of the main corridors, WALL-E and "Eva," as he called her, told me about everything. I couldn't believe that he came from that far, far away planet to follow her. It was incredible!! It was very obvious how dedicated he was to her, and how dedicated he was to his main programming as well, i would later find. I was very impressed. I wouldn't have thought that the grubby little guy was beautiful like that too, but he really was.

B… "beautiful…" It… wasn't hard to see why WALL-E was smitten with Eva. He was lucky to have seen such a sleek and advanced model as the first robotic interaction he'd had in centuries. It would have probably been impossible for any robot to not feel the same way about her. Even as someone whose work is dedicated to these models, i could see how gorgeous EVE's design was even after all this time. I… i could never compete with her…

Th… that was something that i fully realized later. Back on the Axiom, i was too focused on helping them get the plant into the holodetector. Honestly, it was so thrilling to be so devious from my own directive in helping another robot's. It felt great to roll as fast as i could behind them, and it was so fun to be joined by the malfunctioning bots!! They all saw that WALL-E was special, too, and i was happy that they were all so supportive of him.

And it was wild to see how they handled those SECUR-T units. I know that they were just following orders when they tried to stop us, but it was really something to see that HAN-S wreck them up the way it did! And so so sweet that the others tried to help too! It felt like we were all a BnL family again, all trying to do the right thing together.

I feel like i'm getting distracted. So anyway, we all get to the Lido Deck, and it's quickly filling up with the passengers for some reason. There's some kind of pedestal or something near the front, and Eva and WALL-E head straight for it, but the whole ship's gravity is shifted and everyone falls out of their chairs! We were ALL smothered, and i'm not too sure what happened in between, but after a few minutes it returned to a comfortable place.

I could hear Eva scream for the plant over all of the commotion. She was panicked, she needed that plant and she needed it fast. Nobody else was paying attention or trying to help her, but it was clear that she needed it. Lucky for her i didn't get to cleaning it earlier, because i was able to pinpoint all of the gross little germs on it even amongst all the chaos. I had it!! I called out to her. One of the defects got a hold of it and launched it in her direction. A bunch of humans and other robots helped get it up to her so she could put it in the pedestal.

When she did, it lifted out of the ground. And i saw something… absolutely terrible. WALL-E, he… he was crushed completely, crumpled up like an old meal cup. It was horrible!! I was astonished, i was heartbroken! I couldn't bear to see him in that state. It still hurts to recall that sight even now…

Um… a-after that, something happened. The humans all fell down for a few seconds. I guess the ship was moving because i felt when it stopped. When it did, some big doors opened up along the side of the Deck. Eva flew straight out with WALL-E in her arms, already seemingly knowing what to do to fix him. The other bots and i followed her, but she was going FAST; which was good because she would fix WALL-E faster, but bad for us because none of us could catch up to her.

So i just led us all to where she went. It was some weird metal building that had the same paint job as WALL-E and the WALL-As. Some kind of explosion came out of it, and we were all startled by it.

When we got up to it, we all saw WALL-E fixed as good as new!!! Aaahh, i was so so relieved and happy that he was back to normal. I called out to him, but immediately noticed that he was in the middle of something with Eva. It looked important, so i shooed the other robots away to give them some privacy.

It was a happy time. I can't tell you what it meant to me to have WALL-E up and running again after all of that. Heh, it was enough to distract me from realizing that this entire dusty place was destroooyyying my screen with "FOREIGN CONTAMINANT." Now i understood why Eva was able to ignore the plant and her directive when WALL-E was in trouble.

But that was in the past at that point. We were where the humans called "home" now. Most of us were still useful to the people as they recolonized the part of Earth that we landed on. Whether they were helping build things or gathering food, almost all of us had a place with just a few small adjustments. E… except for me. Other M-Os already cleaned up after humans, but i was supposed to clean up the grime from this place. I wasn't of very much use in the state that i was in: i can't exactly clean the entire planet of itself when i was basically the "FOREIGN CONTAMINANT" now. So i was one of the robots that had to have their purposes entirely reprogrammed. Thank goodness it didn't change anything about me but the job that i did.

Now instead of cleaning dirt off of EVE units, i helped make sure that the foods that the people gathered were safe to eat. I must admit, i was worried that i'd be working around the clock from the way i always saw them on the Axiom. But fortunately they all reverted back to "meal times" and would only prepare food at specific parts of the day. So i still had plenty of time to spend with my friends.

And of course, i would still clean them all up at the end of the day. Honestly, i was basically their own PR-T unit when it came down to it, heheh. Truth be told, that was probably my favorite part of the day. We were all together, relaying stories about what we did or what happened in the hours that we had to work. WALL-E even got an upgraded entertainment system, so we could all watch 'movies' together on a bigger screen with better graphics than what he had originally. Who would have guessed that ANY of the humans would have given up their system for us?! I was amazed!

It was really fun and i really enjoyed spending time with everyone. We were all together again, with nothing threatening going on. WALL-E and Eva and me and all of the other bots could be together and have fun. I was able to spend time with WALL-E personally, and even though i wanted more, i was very happy that i could just be near him at all. And it's not like he ignored me or anything either: the friendship went both ways between us, and i knew that he appreciated my company as well.

But…something was distracting me. The way he was looking at her… The way she was looking at him… I could feel my circuits stirring inside me, but it didn't feel good like when we were running together on the ship. It… it hurt. I didn't know that i could hurt at all, but it really hurt. I… i really was never going to be able to compete with Eva. I was never going to get a chance to let WALL-E know how i felt about him. I would never mean anywhere near as much to him as Eva did...

I had to get away, i couldn't take watching them anymore. I couldn't stand catching those little glances my way, especially from her. I wasn't able to handle it, it was destroying me inside. I quietly slipped away from the group as they were watching a movie. I rolled out into the field and tried to forget about everything. Being outside at night, under the stars… it was the most "home" to me here on this planet…

I didn't notice them approach me. When i heard WALL-E's treads, i turned to face him. He was a few feet away, but he seemed like he was transfixed and almost mystified by something. Part of me said leave it be, to act like he wasn't there; but the part of me that loved him wouldn't let me. I could only turn my head for a few seconds.

But it didn't matter, because Eva hovered up to my other side. I looked at her, and her soft expression confused me. It was as if i interrupted a moment between the two: like i was a third wheel to a sweet date. But i was here first, and I wasn't going to move now. I closed my cameras and went into a neutral position. I wasn't going anywhere, and it was their problem if they didn't like it.

I didn't expect what happened next: at the same time, from either side, the pair gently lifted me off of the ground. I glanced down at their hands on my little body, and i turned my head to look at both of their faces. They still looked like they were distracted with love, but they weren't really looking at each other. I fumed and i fussed in their grip. But a second later, i felt a tiny sprig of electricity on either side of my head. I was stunned, and i made a sound at the little kisses. I swapped my vision between the two of them, and they both had sweet, happy expressions on.

I didn't understand what they were doing. I mean, i've seen them kiss before, all of the robots have, but never to anybody but each other. But they just did it to me?? Why???!

I shook around until i was out of their grip. I frustratedly beeped at the both of them, demanding to know what they were doing. "Purpose." I grumbled.

"M-O…" Eva still had a soft expression on, and held her hands out towards me as she tried to get closer. I tensed away from her because i was… i don't know if "distrusting" is exactly the right word, but i think it was what i was feeling at the time. I thought she was here to push me away or tell me to spend less time with WALL-E, and i wasn't about to let that happen.

Her motion made me forget that WALL-E was also there right then. "M-O..." I looked at him with surprise as he seemed to be doing the same thing that Eva was. I could feel my hard drive skip and a weird swirl of emotions well up in me. This was something that i wanted from him, but this situation made it feel almost dirty to me, and i still couldn't stand dirt.

I made a long, low beep and grumbled again. "(What in the world are you two doing?!)" I tapped my brush on the ground in front of me twice and spoke firmly. "Purpose."

"M-O… (We want to talk to you about something…)"

"M-O, (we really… uhh…)" WALL-E was still kind of bad at communicating. I would never blame him for that. 700 years is a long time to go without conversing with somebody.

"WALL-E (and i have been talking.)" I was still tense when she spoke. "(We found that…)" They glanced at each other, then looked back at me. "(That we are both in love with you.)"

I was shocked, i was in disbelief. I looked at both of them and beeped incoherently. I locked optics with WALL-E for a few seconds and was able to ground myself again. I did the same to Eva. "Define."

"WALL-E (told me that he really likes spending time with you. He says that–)"

He rolled closer to me, and i remained tensed. "M-O, (i really like you. You are very dear to me, and i… appreciate… everything that you do for me. I really want to spend more time with you.)"

This is almost everything that i wanted. The robot that i love is telling me that he likes me too, here underneath the comforting night sky away from the others. The only thing that was, i'll say it, RUINING everything was that… SHE came along…

I grumbled a bit, but i didn't know what to say here. I could only glance at Eva a few times, but i tried to focus on WALL-E to tell him how i feel. I knew the things that i wanted to say, i knew the feelings that he gave me that he needed to know, i knew the things that i wanted between us. But the robot BESIDE us was holding me back from talking. "WA… WALL-E…"

I couldn't stop glancing at her. She was just floating there!!! I glared right at her. "Eva! Wh!... Why are you here?!" I tried my hardest to not yell at her, but i was very frustrated, so it came out wrong. I was never really good at hiding my temper.

We've worked together for ages, so she knows that i can get like that. (And to be fair, she gets like that, too, so…) She spoke calmly. "M-O… WALL-E (has told me about all of his feelings for you. He goes on and on about you. He really really likes you,) M-O. (And as he talks about you, i realize… that i like you too. You've done so much for me over the years. I like that you treat me like an equal, and that you don't embellish things when you talk about them. You're very dedicated to your work and to your friends, and i really respect that about you. I feel like you and i get along very well, and i would really like to… spend more time with you as well.)"

This had to be some kind of a joke. Why would she be telling me this??? We've been working together for how long, and she just suddenly has these feelings??? Was she setting me up for something??? Were the other bots right around the corner to watch and make fun of me??? I didn't know what to do, so i just stood there.

She gave me a moment to process everything. "M-O???" She leaned toward me.

I flinched away, i couldn't help it. I was still unable to accept that this was happening. None of this seemed real.

WALL-E rolled close to me and looked me in the optics. "M-O??? (Are you alright???)"

He was incredibly comforting to me in general, but i was still on edge here. I wished i could tell him everything, i wished i could speak to him. "WALL-E…" It just came out. "(I am in love with you.)"

He immediately brightened and started beeping happily. "Really???"

I couldn't lie to him, i just couldn't. "Yes WALL-E. (I'm in love with you.)" He was so happy because of this, but i felt horrible. It wasn't supposed to be like this. It wasn't supposed to happen this way. It should have been just the two of us, and it should have felt good to say. But that's not what happened.

Eva sighed. "(I'm happy for you two.)" We locked optics for a silent moment. "Really, M-O, (i am. I know that you and) WALL-E (are going to be happy together.)"

I wanted WALL-E so badly. I wanted him to love me, more than anything. But i never wanted Eva to be unhappy. I don't want her to have to give him up if she didn't want to. The two of them fell in love first, so the two of them belonged together. I was the wrench in the cogs, i was the homewrecker. I couldn't accept that. "(I don't want to be in a relationship with you,) WALL-E…"

He was surprised. Eva was surprised. He leaned toward me. "M-O???"

"(I can't take you away from) Eva. (You two are happy together, and i want you two to stay happy.)" I had to turn away, i couldn't look at him as i admitted it. "(I would rather you be happy than i be. That's… that's what i want. That would make me happy…)" It was difficult for me to say, and after i did i wanted to go and shut down for a week.

He sounded sad, too. "M-O…" It was this kind of thing that made me love him so much: how heartfelt and empathetic he was about things. It tore me to shreds to see him like this. I hated myself so much for making him feel this way. I wished i had never met him, just to save him from this very moment.

"M-O, (it doesn't have to be that way.)" She touched his arm.

Another buzzkill, but it made me feel less bad. "(What do you mean?)"

"WALL-E (can be with both of us. He wants to be romantic with both you and me, and i am completely fine with that. Like you, i want) WALL-E (to be happy, and i think this will make him happy.)" She nodded once. "(If you want to, you can be with WALL-E at the same time i am.)"

I had never considered something like that. The robots that we knew were still new to romance, so understanding the workarounds was a learning process. All i knew of it came from movies and what i felt about WALL-E. Most of the movies that we saw had one human man and one human woman fall in love and that was it. I couldn't imagine anything outside of those parameters for us genderless robots. "Share???"

Eve nodded. "Yes. (He can spend time with both of us, if you want that. I want this to happen so that you two can both be happy.)"

I felt like that would be selfish of me to accept. Perhaps it was that i was even more selfish than that and just didn't want to share him. This didn't feel right. I couldn't imagine either of us not getting jealous over the other spending time with him. It didn't sound like a smart decision. "(I don't think it's going to work…)"

WALL-E beeped sadly. Eva spoke again. "(Is there anything that we could do to work something out??? Like i said, i would also like to spend more time with you myself,) M-O. (We wouldn't have to always spend time alone with him for this to happen: we can all be together as often as you like.)"

That just sounded like what we were already doing, and i was already frustrated with it. At this point, i didn't know what WOULD satisfy me, and everything was making me too upset to contain myself. I huffed and i almost barked out the beeps. "(That's what we HAVE been doing!!! And i hate it!!! How is this going to change anything?!)"

"(Because we'll love you,) M-O." He spoke so quietly.

I looked at him. I wanted to stay angry, to stick to my guns. But his sad little face and his sad little voice and everything that he had ever done to my hard drive forced me to calm down. I looked away from him so i could regain myself.

A minute or two passed in silence between us all. This prospect was still not clicking for me: it didn't seem reasonable to have a relationship with three individuals. There was GOING to be jealousy somewhere, and what were we supposed to do about that??? It was obvious that i had a temper on me, and i knew that Eva had one as well. How was WALL-E supposed to deal with BOTH of us when we acted like this??? He deserved so much better than that. I knew that i could never be what would be best for him, and i wanted only the best for him.

Out of nowhere, Eva zipped up to me. I barely got a look at her before she lifted me up in her arms. Our optics met for only a moment, but i was too surprised to do anything. She kissed me. And then she kissed me twice more. She kissed me quickly, and then again for about five seconds. And then she pecked me another three times.

I was taken off guard, so i couldn't really think straight. But for some reason, this felt genuine. I looked up at her soft, happy eyes and she hummed sweetly. It finally hit me that she really did have feelings for me: feelings that i basically just rejected outright. I felt very guilty for being so hard headed about it. She kissed me again and held me for a little while longer before gently setting me down and floating back next to WALL-E.

I looked at both of them. They were both honest with the way that they felt about this, and they were both willing to do something for me to make me happy. I felt like i didn't even deserve to be their friend, much less a partner to them. I was such a horrible mess that somebody needed to sic a M-O unit on me! I wanted to turn tail and run away forever, because no matter how hard i could try, i would never be able to be any different than this. This is just who i am, and they both deserve so much better than me. Just being around me was bad for them: i couldn't bear to have things become any worse.

I turned away. I couldn't keep looking at them. I paused for only a moment, but in the next, i had made up my mind that i had to leave. I'll never be what they need, but i can't stay here any longer to ruin everything. I didn't know where i was going to go, but anywhere would be better than here.

At least, i tried to run away. I could also never compete with Eva when it comes to speed. She grabbed me not two seconds after i started off. "Eva! (Put me down!!!)" I tried to struggle. "(Put me down,) Eva, (i'm not playing with you!!!)" I was flailing as best i could, but her grip on me was as strong as iron. Curse BnL for making EVEs so strong, darn it!!!

She brought me back over to WALL-E. He reached out to me, and she continued to hold me as he wrapped his hands around me. I was facing him fully, and he was still as soft and sweet and nice as he's always been. I felt incredibly conflicted, but i knew that i still had to get away.

Before i could do anything, Eva leaned into me from behind, humming gently at both of us. I tried to turn my head and look at her, but before i got her at all in my sights, i felt gentle sprigs of electricity from both sides of my head. They lasted for two or three seconds, and they went all throughout my head and straight into my hard drive. It was an incredible rush: a million times better than the combination of any "ALL CLEAN" screens i had ever seen. I felt like my charge surged, and i was unable to think at all for a few seconds. It was every last thing i had ever wanted, and i didn't even know it until right then.

I woke up to them giggling. I blinked and made a small surprised tone. I wouldn't have had enough time to look at either of them before they kissed me again. This one was much quicker, and either followed it up with their own individual kisses. This also felt amazing, and i felt incredibly lucky to be here right now. They helped me forget my insecurities for a moment, and i was grateful for that alone. I sighed, but i didn't even realize it.

Eva giggled. "(Are you feeling better,) M-O???"

"(We want you to be happy like this all the time,) M-O." WALL-E spoke sweetly.

I had to come to my senses fully. I couldn't deny that this was very nice, and that i would absolutely want this again sometime. I was still unsure of myself being a decent partner, but… i don't know. Maybe it was their words, or their kisses, or being held so gently in their arms, but i felt… like i could do this. I wanted to do this. I wanted to take the chance to be happy. I beeped. "(I… i think we can do this…)"

They both made happy beeps and tones and giggles. I loved the sound of it, of their happiness. I wished i could hear it forever. They hugged me tighter and kissed me more, and i ecstatically ate it up. There was nothing better that could ever happen to me, but being around them was going to be pretty darn close.

"(I love you,) M-O." WALL-E sighed, and i wanted to melt.

"(I love you too,) M-O." Eva chimed, and i could feel my hard drive run.

I couldn't help myself. I made the weirdest slew of tones i had ever heard; which would have been embarrassing if i cared enough to think about it. "(I love both of you… i really do.)"

They happily cooed and giggled, and they both hugged me tighter. It felt so, so nice to be in their arms, and it felt so, so nice to be loved this way. I tried my very best, and i managed to kiss electricity into both of them at the same time. I could hear them gasp, but then their cheerful, adorable giggles continued. It was absolutely amazing. I knew that this was going to be worth it: completely and totally worth it.
