"Android"

Android just grumbles and stares at Valentino through their mask with a sigh, waking off for a moment before they get tugged back by Valentino and spun around, probably being told off for ther attitude towards a higher up.

Android lays flat with their eyes creepily opened, drying out with the cool air.

Cheryl gently closes them, shuddering.

Android wakes after a while, stirring and hitting the side bars in protest while they sit up.

“You’re… back?” Cheryl murmurs, making sure

Android grunts and smacks their head on the headboard, seemingly in pain, but knocks out and half dangles off the cot.

She sighs, cautiously lifting them back on the cot. “Silly, foolish Cheryl.”

Android scares the shit out of Cheryl by snapping up and panting, eyes wide and hands rubbing their head, looking to Cheryl with pure terror in their eyes.

Android glares at Cheryl and keeps working, moving to a car out of view with the heavy thunk of their boots. They come back to grab a tool, not even looking at Cheryl as they walk off in annoyance. They walk two steps away but get tugged back by their singlet, swinging around to face Cheryl with an angry face.

Cheryl flinches under the weight of their glare, looking down. “I’m sorry, really. I don’t really know what to say.” She hops off the bench, slightly leaning away. “I, uh, I’ll just go.” She shuffles out of the garage, awkwardly shuffling back in for her papers before leaving.

”I like you, too,” she whispers, “I should have told you earlier, I know. I just… I really didn’t mean to make it seem like I was leading you on, I wasn’t, you’re amazing.”

Android pauses at the tapping, translating it in their head before looking to Cheryl for confirmation. They seem nervous, too, which is rare for them.

She nods slightly, blushing. “I, uh, well, you heard him.”

Android stands awkwardly before they take Cheryl up and carries her to their spot behind the garage, slamming his lips onto hers.

Cheryl gasps, but then immediately melts into the kiss, purring against their lips.

After a while, they pull back and stare at Cheryl, cupping her face gently and letting her talk.

She takes a moment to breathe, smiling, “I, uh, wow. I do really really like you. You mean so much to me I don’t even know how to describe it.”

She leans closer for the kiss, filling it with tender loving care. She makes sure to let all the warmth and love seep into it. She wraps her arms around them, pulling them in.

Android holds their hands on Cheryl's cheeks, cold hands making her shiver a little. For air, Android moves back and makes a gasp, breathing heavy before sliding a hand down to her waist, accidently making an innuendo they didn't intend to. But it's too late for them to correct it by the time their laying on the concrete, pinned down by Cheryl.

Her hair falls in front of her face as she looks down at Android. “Is this alright?” She’s got her knees on either side of their hips, hands on either side of their head, eyes looking right at theirs.

Cheryl nods, completely understanding, “Yeah it is a pretty bad time. And I completely understand and accept that. Yeah? Yeah.” She nods, “we ought to head back in.”

She flips over the book, trying to forget the name, as she pulls them into her arms. She gently pats their head, shushing them gently. “I got you, I got you now”

“Didn’t see it I swear,” she murmurs as she holds them.

Android shakes their head and pushes it into her hands, showing their name. `Venus` They sign and stare at Cheryl, silent and calmer now.

”That’s- that’s a dangerous thing for me to know.” She smiles, slightly broken. “I… I don’t know if I’m-“ Worthy? Ready? What? She didn’t even know.

Android shakes their head and kisses Cheryl to shut her up, hands holding her cheeks again; That was kind of their favourite spot, it seemed.

She smiles against their lips, arms wrapped around them. She couldn’t have been more content in that moment, wrapped in the arms of someone they loved so dearly.And who trusted them.

Android pulls back and smiles. `Okay, one on one. No friends know.` They say and tap her nose, giving it a light kiss. `yes?` They sign, smile making a small falter as they add on. `Just us, okay? No friends talk name. Just you know, no share.`

She nods, “Yes, yes I promise,” she smiles, wide and warm.

Android nods slowly, giving Cheryl a gentle kiss and a smile, cold hands pressed on her warm skin.

She rests her head against theirs, smiling warmly.

Android quietly smiles and makes a little squeak, then their head goes a little light and eyes hazy with exhaustion, signing `tired` again.

She nods, “it’s been a tiring day.”

Android agrees and slowly stands, pocketing the notebook with a smile while also helping Cheryl stand.

She hops up and dusts herself off, with a smile. “Poor Shepherd must be all alone in there”

Android nods and makes a little smile, holding her waist and kissing her again, not wanting to leave again. This time, Android gets pinned to the wall, smiling wide.

Cheryl peppers their fave in kisses, grinning mischievously. “He’ll be fine on his own,” she shrugged, peppering them with more kisses.

Android agrees with a light giggle, blushed face with their hands gently moving one of Cheryl's hands to hold their chest, signing `heart`.

”Heart?” She raises a brow, smirking. But she takes a moment to feel her heart beating against her chest.

Android takes her hand and presses it to theirs instead, locking eyes with Cheryl at the fast paced rhythm of their heart.

Cheryl beams, chuckling, “Your heart is beating out of your chest!”

Android nods and taps Cheryl's chest, saying it's from her. Then they keep her hand there with one hand, the other pulling Cheryl into a short kiss. In that time, Android's heartbeat goes through the rough, from maybe 80/90 to at least 120.

“I ought to stop kissing you so much then, sweetness, your heart might burst.” Cheryl teases.

Android, a little oblivious to jokes from being so Introverted, shakes their head quickly and looks panicked, hands cupping Cheryl's face with a frown.

”Alright, alright, I get it “ she smirks. “Everyone wants this.” She pulls them in for another kiss.

Android and Cheryl kiss for a little bit longer before another couple stop around the corner, yelping and running off.

Android lays flat with their eyes creepily opened, drying out with the cool air.

Cheryl gently closes them, shuddering.

Android wakes after a while, stirring and hitting the side bars in protest while they sit up.

”Heart?” She raises a brow, smirking. But she takes a moment to feel her heart beating against her chest.

Android takes her hand and presses it to theirs instead, locking eyes with Cheryl at the fast paced rhythm of their heart.

Android looks at her and smiles, wandering over but standing to a distance while beaming like a toddler who just rolled in dirt. Their arms are fully covered in oil, a tank top on from the heat with a flat chest but curvy hips. This soldier was so confusing when it comes to gender, making a few wonder what their birth gender is. They shuffle closer and nudge Cheryl with their boot, grinning wide at their oil dripping arms.

Android nods and seems to laugh, air just whisping out as they do so. When the pocket moves, Android moves closer and tries to look inside, hands dripping oil onto Cheryl's boots unknowingly.

She glances up from her paperwork, looking at her pocket, "Oh yeah, forgot to mention." She undid the button of her pocket and let the little guy pop out. "Yeah, um, the general might've accidentally shrunk to be pocket sized." The mini general crawls her shirt, sitting on her shoulder. He leans his tiny head against her neck, meeping loudly. Cheryl just chuckles, swinging her legs.

Android smiles wide and stands still, but nudges Cheryl with their boot and gesturing to their mask, wanting it off.

"Sure, hold up," she sets down her papers, then detaches the mask from their face, taking much care. Once it's off, she grins, "There's that pretty face."

Android smiles and gives Cheryl a light peck on her nose, looking to Sheperd and grinning, signing 'jealous' with their dripping hands, pushing them to the sink and washing it all off, then leans on Cheryl with a heavy sigh, signing 'tired' with their hands before dropping back again.

Shepherd can only squeak in protest, pouting and gesturing. Cheryl just pets Shepherd's head, leaning her own against Andriod. "Yeah, today feels much more draining than the others. Dunno what's going on." Mini Shepherd squeaks, nuzzling into her hand.

Cheryl wraps their arms around them and pulls them close, "Long day? Yeah I know." Her legs wrap around the back of theirs, and she lets her head rest in the crook of their neck, patting their head. Shepherd sighs, with a little meep, and joins the hug, sitting on Android's head and flopping down into a hug.

Android checks the time and nods slowly, dragging Cheryl to the staff room and floppinng onto the couch, arms subtly open to her.

She smirks, settling into them, Mini Shepherd settling into her back pocket. She grins, giving them a peck.

Android smiles lightly and kisses her forehead with a smile, cupping her warm face with their own cold hands that could be used as a freezer- Damn they were cold!

She shuddered slightly, practically preening over the touch, despite how frigid that bastard’s hands were. “Jeez, you’re always so cold.”

They nod slowly and smile, hands remaining where they are while Android just keeps lightly peppering kisses onto her face.

Cheryl just melts, burying her face in their flat chest. She looked so cute and sleepy.

Android gently plays with her hair, plaiting it slowly with their cold hands occasionally grazing her neck.

She shifts a little, burying into the crook of their neck with a warm sigh. “This is nice.”

Android nods and pats her head lightly, cold hands resting on the small of Cheryl's back while their head is still.

Cheryl’s thumb rubs circles along their arm, as she peppers small kisses along their neck.

Android shuffles and grunts a few times, then pats Cheryl's head kind of hard to grab her attention.

She lifts her head, grinning like the arse she is. “Yeaaaah~?”

They move their hands and sign something. `No intimate`

She smirks, “Alright fine.” She settles back wear she was humming contently.

Android nods and wraps their arms around Cheryl's back again, content with the confirmation and acceptance.

Mini Shepherd lets out a small little snore, snuggling into the pocket he was in. Cheryl just chuckles slightly.

Android falls asleep after a little while, making twitches against Cheryl's body in their state.

Cheryl falls asleep a little after, shifting carefully. She settles in, dreaming a small dream about her farm back home and imagining Shepherd and Android sitting among the sheep.

They both wake after a while, Android nudging her with a small kiss, cold hands on her neck, which always works for other people.

She jumps slightly. “Holy Jesus, you arse. What time is it?” She checks the clock, ponytail an absolute mess. “6:08, we probably have somewhere to be, huh?” She smirks, shrugging.

Android lets her sit up, propping themselves on their elbows as they nod in confirmation, giving Cheryl a small forehead kiss as they part.

Cheryl blushes, giggling a little. She nods right back, turning away and giggling.

Android lets her go, slightly following as they get back to working on the car's that need it, leaning down in a hood while Cheryl passes.

She hands him a spanner, getting back to her papers as mini Shepherd settles on the desk.

Android smiles and takes it slowly, hand lingering on hers.

She blushes, whacking their hand lightly, “Oh stop that.” She smirks, taking her perch.

Android pokes a tongue out, accidently revealing a silver bar on their tongue.

”Whoa, what’s that?” Cheryl tilts her head to the side in interest. “Never seen that before.”

Android smacks a hand on their mouth, looking embarrassed when they pull away, showing Cheryl again.

”Whoa,” she looks awestruck, “wassup with that?”

`bored` Android signs and smiles a little, wiggling their brows. `Doesn't work? I decorate.`

She chuckles, “Well it is quite cool. I might say”

They nod and gently nudge Cheryl away, going back to their job with their back bent down to reach inside the car's hood, the perfect opportunity right there. And god is it tempting to just smack their butt a little, just for tease.

Cheryl snirks at the thought, and evil little chortle threatening to escape.

Android stays still, slowly turning their head to face Cheryl, but goes back to working. They stand like that for a while, perfect window, and shimmy down too, which makes it even better.

She makes a dive for it, like a missle whose target is that perfect ass. Time slows. The whole world holds its breath. Shepherd looks, wide eyed and mouth agape. Will she do it?!

Android actually *screams* at the slap, freezing and holding their throat, turning to face Cheryl with blood dripping from their lips, chest heaving.

She slaps a hand over her mouth, gasping at the blood, “Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry.”

Cheryl gasps, phoning in the medic.

Android drops to the floor, blood spilling out of their mouth and all over the floor.

“Andy! Fuck,” she lifts them up and rushes to med bay.

Android -or Andy- coughs out blood, smacking Cheryl and clawing at her, blood splattering over her uniform while they almost pass out. They eventually do so, blood leaking from their pale, scarred lips, causing people to rush and help when they both enter the medbay.

“Hang in there, Andy. You will be fine,” she reassured herself seeing that they were unconscious, “Jesus, one slap on the ass!”

Android wakes again, rapidly scrambling against Cheryl, the bed, and the guaze over his throat again, making low pained noises, legs kicking and almost hitting a medic.

She holds them down, pulling them close, “Calm down, I got you.”

Android writhes and smacks her hands off them, making it so difficult for any of the medics before they get sedated and knocked out within a minute, laying still and dead almost.

Android glares at Cheryl and keeps working, moving to a car out of view with the heavy thunk of their boots. They come back to grab a tool, not even looking at Cheryl as they walk off in annoyance. They walk two steps away but get tugged back by their singlet, swinging around to face Cheryl with an angry face.

Cheryl flinches under the weight of their glare, looking down. “I’m sorry, really. I don’t really know what to say.” She hops off the bench, slightly leaning away. “I, uh, I’ll just go.” She shuffles out of the garage, awkwardly shuffling back in for her papers before leaving.

”I like you, too,” she whispers, “I should have told you earlier, I know. I just… I really didn’t mean to make it seem like I was leading you on, I wasn’t, you’re amazing.”

Android pauses at the tapping, translating it in their head before looking to Cheryl for confirmation. They seem nervous, too, which is rare for them.

She nods slightly, blushing. “I, uh, well, you heard him.”

Android stands awkwardly before they take Cheryl up and carries her to their spot behind the garage, slamming his lips onto hers.

Cheryl gasps, but then immediately melts into the kiss, purring against their lips.

After a while, they pull back and stare at Cheryl, cupping her face gently and letting her talk.

She takes a moment to breathe, smiling, “I, uh, wow. I do really really like you. You mean so much to me I don’t even know how to describe it.”

She leans closer for the kiss, filling it with tender loving care. She makes sure to let all the warmth and love seep into it. She wraps her arms around them, pulling them in.

Android holds their hands on Cheryl's cheeks, cold hands making her shiver a little. For air, Android moves back and makes a gasp, breathing heavy before sliding a hand down to her waist, accidently making an innuendo they didn't intend to. But it's too late for them to correct it by the time their laying on the concrete, pinned down by Cheryl.

Her hair falls in front of her face as she looks down at Android. “Is this alright?” She’s got her knees on either side of their hips, hands on either side of their head, eyes looking right at theirs.

Cheryl nods, completely understanding, “Yeah it is a pretty bad time. And I completely understand and accept that. Yeah? Yeah.” She nods, “we ought to head back in.”

She flips over the book, trying to forget the name, as she pulls them into her arms. She gently pats their head, shushing them gently. “I got you, I got you now”

“Didn’t see it I swear,” she murmurs as she holds them.

Android shakes their head and pushes it into her hands, showing their name. `Venus` They sign and stare at Cheryl, silent and calmer now.

”That’s- that’s a dangerous thing for me to know.” She smiles, slightly broken. “I… I don’t know if I’m-“ Worthy? Ready? What? She didn’t even know.

Android shakes their head and kisses Cheryl to shut her up, hands holding her cheeks again; That was kind of their favourite spot, it seemed.

She smiles against their lips, arms wrapped around them. She couldn’t have been more content in that moment, wrapped in the arms of someone they loved so dearly.And who trusted them.

Android pulls back and smiles. `Okay, one on one. No friends know.` They say and tap her nose, giving it a light kiss. `yes?` They sign, smile making a small falter as they add on. `Just us, okay? No friends talk name. Just you know, no share.`

She nods, “Yes, yes I promise,” she smiles, wide and warm.

Android nods slowly, giving Cheryl a gentle kiss and a smile, cold hands pressed on her warm skin.

She rests her head against theirs, smiling warmly.

Android quietly smiles and makes a little squeak, then their head goes a little light and eyes hazy with exhaustion, signing `tired` again.

She nods, “it’s been a tiring day.”

Android agrees and slowly stands, pocketing the notebook with a smile while also helping Cheryl stand.

She hops up and dusts herself off, with a smile. “Poor Shepherd must be all alone in there”

Android nods and makes a little smile, holding her waist and kissing her again, not wanting to leave again. This time, Android gets pinned to the wall, smiling wide.

Cheryl peppers their fave in kisses, grinning mischievously. “He’ll be fine on his own,” she shrugged, peppering them with more kisses.

Android agrees with a light giggle, blushed face with their hands gently moving one of Cheryl's hands to hold their chest, signing `heart`.

Android looks at her and smiles, wandering over but standing to a distance while beaming like a toddler who just rolled in dirt. Their arms are fully covered in oil, a tank top on from the heat with a flat chest but curvy hips. This soldier was so confusing when it comes to gender, making a few wonder what their birth gender is. They shuffle closer and nudge Cheryl with their boot, grinning wide at their oil dripping arms.

Android nods and seems to laugh, air just whisping out as they do so. When the pocket moves, Android moves closer and tries to look inside, hands dripping oil onto Cheryl's boots unknowingly.

She glances up from her paperwork, looking at her pocket, "Oh yeah, forgot to mention." She undid the button of her pocket and let the little guy pop out. "Yeah, um, the general might've accidentally shrunk to be pocket sized." The mini general crawls her shirt, sitting on her shoulder. He leans his tiny head against her neck, meeping loudly. Cheryl just chuckles, swinging her legs.

Android smiles wide and stands still, but nudges Cheryl with their boot and gesturing to their mask, wanting it off.

"Sure, hold up," she sets down her papers, then detaches the mask from their face, taking much care. Once it's off, she grins, "There's that pretty face."

Android smiles and gives Cheryl a light peck on her nose, looking to Sheperd and grinning, signing 'jealous' with their dripping hands, pushing them to the sink and washing it all off, then leans on Cheryl with a heavy sigh, signing 'tired' with their hands before dropping back again.

Shepherd can only squeak in protest, pouting and gesturing. Cheryl just pets Shepherd's head, leaning her own against Andriod. "Yeah, today feels much more draining than the others. Dunno what's going on." Mini Shepherd squeaks, nuzzling into her hand.

Cheryl wraps their arms around them and pulls them close, "Long day? Yeah I know." Her legs wrap around the back of theirs, and she lets her head rest in the crook of their neck, patting their head. Shepherd sighs, with a little meep, and joins the hug, sitting on Android's head and flopping down into a hug.

Android checks the time and nods slowly, dragging Cheryl to the staff room and floppinng onto the couch, arms subtly open to her.

She smirks, settling into them, Mini Shepherd settling into her back pocket. She grins, giving them a peck.

Android smiles lightly and kisses her forehead with a smile, cupping her warm face with their own cold hands that could be used as a freezer- Damn they were cold!

She shuddered slightly, practically preening over the touch, despite how frigid that bastard’s hands were. “Jeez, you’re always so cold.”

They nod slowly and smile, hands remaining where they are while Android just keeps lightly peppering kisses onto her face.

Cheryl just melts, burying her face in their flat chest. She looked so cute and sleepy.

Android gently plays with her hair, plaiting it slowly with their cold hands occasionally grazing her neck.

She shifts a little, burying into the crook of their neck with a warm sigh. “This is nice.”

Android nods and pats her head lightly, cold hands resting on the small of Cheryl's back while their head is still.

Cheryl’s thumb rubs circles along their arm, as she peppers small kisses along their neck.

Android shuffles and grunts a few times, then pats Cheryl's head kind of hard to grab her attention.

She lifts her head, grinning like the arse she is. “Yeaaaah~?”

They move their hands and sign something. `No intimate`

She smirks, “Alright fine.” She settles back wear she was humming contently.

Android nods and wraps their arms around Cheryl's back again, content with the confirmation and acceptance.

Mini Shepherd lets out a small little snore, snuggling into the pocket he was in. Cheryl just chuckles slightly.

Android falls asleep after a little while, making twitches against Cheryl's body in their state.

Cheryl falls asleep a little after, shifting carefully. She settles in, dreaming a small dream about her farm back home and imagining Shepherd and Android sitting among the sheep.

They both wake after a while, Android nudging her with a small kiss, cold hands on her neck, which always works for other people.

She jumps slightly. “Holy Jesus, you arse. What time is it?” She checks the clock, ponytail an absolute mess. “6:08, we probably have somewhere to be, huh?” She smirks, shrugging.

Android lets her sit up, propping themselves on their elbows as they nod in confirmation, giving Cheryl a small forehead kiss as they part.

Cheryl blushes, giggling a little. She nods right back, turning away and giggling.

Android lets her go, slightly following as they get back to working on the car's that need it, leaning down in a hood while Cheryl passes.

She hands him a spanner, getting back to her papers as mini Shepherd settles on the desk.

Android smiles and takes it slowly, hand lingering on hers.

She blushes, whacking their hand lightly, “Oh stop that.” She smirks, taking her perch.

Android pokes a tongue out, accidently revealing a silver bar on their tongue.

”Whoa, what’s that?” Cheryl tilts her head to the side in interest. “Never seen that before.”

Android smacks a hand on their mouth, looking embarrassed when they pull away, showing Cheryl again.

”Whoa,” she looks awestruck, “wassup with that?”

`bored` Android signs and smiles a little, wiggling their brows. `Doesn't work? I decorate.`

She chuckles, “Well it is quite cool. I might say”

They nod and gently nudge Cheryl away, going back to their job with their back bent down to reach inside the car's hood, the perfect opportunity right there. And god is it tempting to just smack their butt a little, just for tease.

Cheryl snirks at the thought, and evil little chortle threatening to escape.

Android stays still, slowly turning their head to face Cheryl, but goes back to working. They stand like that for a while, perfect window, and shimmy down too, which makes it even better.

She makes a dive for it, like a missle whose target is that perfect ass. Time slows. The whole world holds its breath. Shepherd looks, wide eyed and mouth agape. Will she do it?!

Android actually *screams* at the slap, freezing and holding their throat, turning to face Cheryl with blood dripping from their lips, chest heaving.

She slaps a hand over her mouth, gasping at the blood, “Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry.”

Cheryl gasps, phoning in the medic.

Android drops to the floor, blood spilling out of their mouth and all over the floor.

“Andy! Fuck,” she lifts them up and rushes to med bay.

Android -or Andy- coughs out blood, smacking Cheryl and clawing at her, blood splattering over her uniform while they almost pass out. They eventually do so, blood leaking from their pale, scarred lips, causing people to rush and help when they both enter the medbay.

“Hang in there, Andy. You will be fine,” she reassured herself seeing that they were unconscious, “Jesus, one slap on the ass!”

Android wakes again, rapidly scrambling against Cheryl, the bed, and the guaze over his throat again, making low pained noises, legs kicking and almost hitting a medic.
