An Energy Vampire's Joy

Many nights later, Rosella, now nocturnal herself, dressed up in a dark red silk gown with sleeves before meeting with her robotic gentleman Nos-4-A2, both smiling, bowing and holding each other's hands before they waltzed for half an hour.

When they rested on the roof, the bot asked her for her hand in marriage. She was slightly surprised, but since they lived in hiding and were doing fine, she accepted with a nod.

They married the next night, Nos-4-A2 taking his bride's left hand which he slipped a ring he had forged himself. It wasn't real gold and there was no stone, but the beauty and symbolism were still perfect enough for her.

She smiled with her hands on her groom's metal chest as he wrapped her in his cape, leaning down to kiss her deeply. He rubbed his left fingers on her back to relax her as he carefully hovered to his coffin with his wife in his embrace.

She let her head lean back, his left hand cradling it. He stopped to float above their bed, to lean down to rub his mouth on her neck and shoulders as he delicately put her inside, his right arm around her arms and waist and his left hand slipping up and down her back.

Rosella sighed, both enraptured and tired as the coffin lid closed. Her husband kissed under her chin, leaning his head back and forth as he pressed his lips on her playfully.

She smiled, humming before she decided two could play this game. She managed to roll Nos-4-A2 on his back in the coffin to his surprise before she held his cool face and kissed him deeply. Impressed with her boldness, he hugged her close.

When she fell asleep, he was curious of something. He had learned organic people's hearts beat with a speed when they feel deep affection for someone. He gently leaned his right hand on her chest to where he knew her heart must be and felt it move in the way people describe.

Pleased, he held her with her head against his chest as he wrapped his cloak around her to keep her warm, his left cheek on her hair.
