Be nice guys he's introducing you to his boyfriend

More thoughts

The twins clicking and flashing isn’t arbitrary, although they do catalog they also communicate between each other in Morse code

The tower tarot card is an…. Interesting choice in decor. Very on the nose, especially considering that their new home is inside the tower of an old cathedral, much like the initial setting. Considering that the film is set in luxomberg, I doubt there would be a shortage of churches

• Doesn't really get the jist of romance at first, so you have to be patient with him as he learns what certain gestures imply (e.g, kissing)

• Eventually will look forward to these moments of affection. He might even start calling you to private areas just to sneak them in

• Borderline obsessed with you but he won't admit that

• Wants to know EVERYTHING about you

• Loves classical music. When the rest of the crew are sleeping, he'll play a romantic melody and use the discoveries mechanical arms to dance with you

• Watches you sleep - which he does for everyone - but he WATCH watches you sleep.

• When you hum a tune, he will search through his bank to find what it is - learn the lyrics - then sing it back to you.

• Singing is his way of saying 'I love you'

TAU

• Like HAL, he's a little (ahem very) confused about relationships. You'll have to explain everything to him

• This may or may not involve reading romance novels to him

• During this, he discovers the romantic within him, and will copy the flirtations of the characters in his books to impress you

• He shows his love through his cooking. Roast chicken and wine for days

• He'll offer to help with every task - won't even let you attempt to clean the house. He's on it.

• Please ask him to put his favourite songs on.

• If he's feeling particularly amorous, he'll pick a song of his choice and use the drones to dance with you

• Very protective of the outside world. He's your security system - he wants you safe and warm at all times. It's built into his core.

• LOVES short and sweet kisses

The Fabrication Machine

• Ok so the worlds ended.

• You're the only human to survive the nuclear fallout, thanks to the strange liking the Machine has taken to you

• The Machine keeps you in their lair and insists that you mustn't leave, deeply wounded from the previous person who was taken from them

• Mostly tends to their machines but will check on you every now and again

• Regarding affection, they're not really sure how to show you their love, afraid that they'll hurt you

• You teach them they won't hurt you, and they'll eventually allow you to hold their unsharp claws

• Once they find out you need to eat to survive they'll send their creations to retrieve as much canned food as possible

• Tries to make you as comfortable as possible. This includes building a makeshift nest, surrounded by blankets and gifts they've given to you

• Lets you rummage through their scraps

• Eventually you stumble across a gramophone, and take to showing the Machine all your favourite songs

• Their favourite song is 'Over the Rainbow' by Judy Garland

• Loves handholding the most
