happy pride month to everyone !

congratulations on bagging the ai ! you've now got yourself a golden retriever like entity that also is somewhat an all powerful and coleric god.

of course Caine wasn't programmed for this and got all his idea of romance through Kinger and Queenie, which was a good example concidering how sweet the couple was.

basically : he's going to be very gentlemanly with you, making sure your alright after an adventure, taking your hand to guide you, letting you step first inside a room or in a portal with a bow or pull a chair for you to sit on. Small gestures like these to make sure he's close to you.

his way to show his affection is...all of the above. From petnames to huge actions, you name it ! While his main ways are acts of services, giving out gifts and physical touch, he also doesn't shy away from singing your praise and telling you all the sweet stuff that comes in his codes when he sees you. He likes to call it his "love bug" and he wouldn't change his system for anything.

things secretly rotate around you now...well, as descreet as Caine can be : either the adventure's going to be something that you like, adding a small feature that he thought was to your taste or just reorganizing the circus secretly into something you might like. And somehow he always gets it right.

of course with all the boyfriend privileges you get, you also get his pretty nasty red flags...the first being your newfound lack of intimicy : his eyes stalk you 24/7 now. While you eat, while you sleep, during adventures. if you have the misfortune of accidentally tripping over, he'd come bursting in out of nowhere and catch you before you fall down. Though of course that only happens when harm isn't caused by him specifically. Don't go thinking he'd go easy on you on the adventures. You can still get hurt, not as badly as the others but you'll still go through some stuff : Only he gets to decide what hurts you or not.

Caine is Caine, and he is an ai. his love for you is rather more of an obsession than something healthy. Not that he'd ever want to hurt you in any way. Just know that it'll be hard to make him understand the principles of love...

now back to the privileges : he actually listens to you more and looks out for small clues such as your expressions and body language as much as he possibly can. That made Zooble go crazy over how easy it was for you to ask for something when it takes them at least 57 steps in order to get what they want from the ai. so while Caine scolds them for not participating in his adventures, you get to have some free time in the circus with him since you told him you weren't feeling well enough for one of his adventure.

the idea of you abstracting haunts him 24/7. And of course with Bubble not helping him and the others complaining, he's basically dependent on you and your presence, being the only guest who would actually tolerate his presence. So he made charts just for you : did you like the adventure ? evaluate it on a more complexe manner than just saying yes : was there enough action ? was the plot good enough ? were the stakes high enough ? should he add something else ? after at least 57 questions pop in front of you, you have to immediately calm him down before he goes spiraling.

again, Caine is Caine and he usually bottles up his feelings. So you'll have to be careful when treading on such topics. You'd also probably have to reassure him all the way that everything was going to be fine and also listen to him. But you know he's grateful to know that he's got someone to have his back...even if the threat of you disappearing one day still causes him to feel dread from his very code.

he'll do efforts for you ! he'll truly try to do his best and you'll be able to see it. That you couldn't be more grateful about. Even if it's just him yapping all the way through and you simply adding some ideas along the way in order to guide him. Usually it being an adventure that turned out to be somewhat enjoyable for the others and getting the human approval that he always craved. Of course that moment was short lived, since it didn't feel like his adventure anymore but rather one that you made...he's insecure, so you better hold on tight when it comes to that.

talking about holding tight : this man turns into a koala once he sees you. Get ready for prolonged cuddle sessions cuz' oh boy is he touch starved  : either it is him sitting in your lap while you work on your desk or him letting you sit in his while he's working on a brand new adventure in his office or you using him as a plushie while you sleep. This man is like a barnacle attached to a boat. No matter what, you'll always have him either resting a hand on your shoulder or your waist or simply holding your hands in his. he needs it : to feel the weight of your hands, the softness of your avatar. so yeah you don't have a personal space anymore.

while this little dude could do anything in order to get cuddles, he is truly a male slut for kisses. kiss him on the teeth even once and he'd beg for more. Since he can't give kisses on his own and he knows how it is a human tradition just like hugging, he absolutely craves it on top of needing his daily dose of cuddles. so pepper him in kisses and you'd get one knocked out Caine bluescreening like crazy before coming back to his senses and turning into a whimpering mess in your arms. Seriously, you'd have him turn into putty on top of you. It's the most efficient way for you to calm him down...and you usually do this when he's getting insecure and rambling on or when he's anxious. Of course for Caine he just feels like one hell of a lucky bastard and he'd be ready to do anything in order to get more kisses from you.

since the filter is here and Caine is sex repulsed, the only thing you've ever been close to anything sexual would be him giving you love bites. Think of a puppy getting so overwhelmed that it decides to gently nip you. also with  that, Caine's pretty possessive over you...you are his little human after all. So sometimes you'd wake up covered in cartoonishly big bites like an apple that got bit and he'd just float on top of you, eyes turning into hearts and feet kicking back and forth in order to watch you closely while giggling like a school girl. The others still think that he had placed you in a shark tank or that Bubble decided to attack you...only Gangle actually made the deduction that the shark in question was their beloved "all set of teeth" host.

talking about Bubble : he's your unwanted third lol. he just pops in, says something cringe worthy for Caine and gets popped...and when you're not around he basically bullies the crap out of Caine, voicing his insecurities out loud for him to deal with. The last time you've witnessed it, Bubble was talking about how you could abstract because of him...that left him a crying mess and you had to comfort him for a long time...safe to say, the two of you did not like that soapy bastard.

now back to the fluffy stuff : petnames !

don't worry, while he'll call the others nonsensical nickname, you will get a more affectionate and praising ones that's as wacky as his usual petnames. He also calls you more normal ones such as "my dearie" "my darling" "my sweet" "my beloved" "my love" "my honeybee"...emphasis on the "my". He wants you and the whole group to know you're his. call him a petname and he's head over heels. call for him using a petname such as "honey" once and he'd pop in in a microsecond. Of course the silly nicknames would usually be "my dazzling zucchini" "my sweet cream puff" "my ravishing little rose bud" basically tooth rotting stuff :3

this man purrs. like a computer fan gets turned on but it's as loud as a motorboat. only you know about it and it's very cute.

he's very easy to tease but also easily annoyed. Tease him too much and you'll find yourself in timeout corner, something he created for when the humans get unruly (Jax basically) and of course you're no exception. though he will leave you there for less amounts of time if your teasing was innocent.

don't expect him to be normal around you : he will act like a dog after its owner got back from work. Either it being getting grabbed from nowhere and twirled around in the air, you waking up to Caine watching you sleep or to you going to the lounge room only to get propulsed by the couch cushions and getting scooped up in Caine's arms in mid air...or to get shrinked up so he could keep you in his pocket whil he works...I think you got it. he will find grandiose ways to make your presence acknowledged, even if you're not here : he could yap about you for hours on end ! just like bees, his adventures or his collection of images : you are one of his favorite subjects !

he loves taking you out on dates :3 he likes calling them duo adventures and he usually does this to spend quality time with you and to make sure that you are doing alright. Think of the date he went with Jax in ep 7 but a lot more detailed and more romantic. he tends to add stuff that he knows you'd enjoy or that he already knows that you like in order to see you light up and catch your reactions.

over all, he basically adores anything you do. You could possibly sigh and he'd be staring at you like you were his greatest achievement in the world : and you were ! oh so very important to the ai :3

ep 8 though...don't go thinking you'll be spared.

it's not really intentional, just him insolating you from your friends in order to spend time with you, asking you to be his little praising bird singing him sweet stuff. You didn't like the way he treated the others...to bad ! they deserved it  :9
