#android!vessel

technically a continuation, so here's part one.

today we learn that vessel is kind of a dummy, but it's okay. we love him for it.

would you be willing to expand on how he and reader realised they were in fact in love with each other and how their relationship progressed into a romantic one?

🫶🏻💜

HI SILLY!! welcome to the BRAINROT.

let's expand!!!

i was going to do a fic for the moment they realized they were in love with each other but... untreated adhd u know how it is :(

i like to think it's a year later, from when you two first met. the day of the incident, with sleep, with your partner, all of that. rough day for both of you, kinda quiet in the house all day.

it's getting late, vessel can't find you inside, finds you outside on the porch. and you two have your first proper conversation about that day. you talk about your grief, vessel opens up for the first time about the abuse he suffered from sleep and he's apologizing to you about what sleep did. which. wasn't his fault.

you have a heart to heart, kinda rest your hand on his back.

"hey. it wasn't your fault."

"none of it would've happened if i knew what i know now-"

"it wasn't your fault."

you start talking about how weird it is, to have him around even a year later. every good thing you've ever had, you've lost, or it left somehow. he looks at you for a long time, then he speaks.

"well... i don't intend on going anywhere, not without you at this point. do you?" it's the sweetest thing vessel's ever said to you.

"...nah. you're stuck with me, too."

after that, it's gradual. he's apprehensive about love (because he doesn't truly know what it is). you're apprehensive about love (grief). but it's the little things.

you teach him how to dance in your living room and it's something in the way you look at him. he helps you one night with connecting the dots on a case, it's something in the way you hug him.

then it's the way he tries to touch you. leans his knee against yours, hand on your back in public. the first time he laughs, it's with you. holding hands in public. inviting him to your bed to cuddle on a cold winter night.

vessel starts writing you love letters and leaving them on your bed. he researches love and how to express it better. he writes poems, paints you pictures, takes you to the backyard at night to stargaze. you make a secret code/language with him that only you two understand.

the first "i love you" came on a summer night, he set the backyard up (more like he asked iii to come over and decorate the backyard), made it all special. drags you outside, all proud about it, hoping that he did a good thing that will make you happy. of course you are!!!

he professes his love to you with a poem he wrote about you, under the moonlight. stumbled over almost every word, almost blue screened from how nervous he was. eventually you just shut him up with a kiss. he's such a dork but it's okay he's your dork

Kitchen notebook update:

What kind of androids are the other Vessels?

Has Android!Noah ever gotten lost in a grocery store/bulk store like Costco?

Watching Disney movies with Android! Vessel and he has the sweetest commentary.

"I would also give you a Library...if I could figure out how to acquire one."

-

"Does the dog known as Tramp know how the other dogs talk about him? Is his bad behavior intentional?"

"I don't know Vessel, just watch."

*annoyed android noises*

KITCHEN NOTES WITH WINNIE!!!! LOVE IT HERE!!! >w< let's go over em all!

What kind of androids are the other Vessels?

good question! i'll give their model and a backstory tidbit :3

ii is a musician android, an SP500 (a bit of an older model!) he was designed to be a drummer! he ended up in sleep's clutches after being tricked by a follower who claimed to want his "autograph". being an older model, the band he was part of didn't go searching.

iii is an actor android, a QM700. designed to be part of movies and plays. he was starting to make a name for himself when sleep got ahold of him. sleep claimed to be a major director who had a special role just for him. (he didn't know the role was being a 'vessel')

iv is an android that worked directly for M.I.N.D! he worked in android repairs and replacements (hence why he is the guy who reader goes to to make fixes on vessel. the model is, well... IV900. his name literally comes from. his model type. iv was the first of the vessels to escape sleep, and is directly the reason reader finds and rescues the vessels. he was the one who called for help.

Has Android!Noah ever gotten lost in a grocery store/bulk store like Costco?

YES. it was like the first time in awhile you let him actually come into a store with you. it was in fact in a costco. you looked away for one second and he was gone (he wanted to look around).

you had to go to the front desk and request they say his name over the loudspeaker so you'd find him. as if he were a lost child

Watching Disney movies with Android! Vessel and he has the sweetest commentary.

SO REAL AND TRUE. he'll do this with any movie, but disney movies are his favorite.

"Why doesn't the prince recall the facial details of Cinderella? Was he observing her feet the entire evening? That does not sound like an ideal romantic connection."

"Why did they keep a spindle in that room if they knew she was going to do exactly this? Do they have something against her?"

"She can sing to animals? I would like to learn this. Do you think I could if I attempted to?"

"Andy should have realized by now that his toys are in drastically different positions every time he re-enters his bedroom."

"The rat. Can prepare. Meals."

You said in my last ask that he is a Bodyguard Android. Do you ever think he like, ever accidently went all Bodyguard for something that totally wasn't that? Like he wrongly assessed a situation and reader had to like explain there was no threat?

or even better Reader didn't manage to explain fast enough and their was a situation?

I just have thoughts about this AU randomly while doing dishes sometimes.

<3 @lyricallymelodic

hello my dear!!! ♡

yes, he is a bodyguard android, and YES, that has absolutely happened before! ... several times. let's get into it!!

after vessel actually begins to trust you, his protective instincts are easily kicked up!! not to mention well... he's a little faulty. all those botched alterations and additions makes him easily set off.

the first time it happens, it's literally because one of your coworker friends who is used to not having to knock just sorta barges in. vessel is there in an INSTANT. literally pushes them back until they're in the doorway again, and he's about to call the POLICE (a built in feature all androids who specialize in human/home care have) but one, YOU ARE YOUR FRIEND ARE THE POLICE, and two, you race over to tell him to relax.

and i fear he has had a few situations. mainly, one where you had a cookout with your friends, one of them was looking for the bathroom and accidentally ended up in your bedroom, vessel happened to see it and... well let's just say your friend ended up with a broken nose and a sprained wrist.

you were pissed at him. he didn't understand what the problem was, clearly your friend was invading your privacy. led to a sit-down and a very, very long scolding lecture. in which you explained that you were both lucky your friend didn't PRESS CHARGES AGAINST YOU. (unfortunately androids aren't really seen as people. if they had pressed charges, you would've ended up getting into trouble, and M.I.N.D would've taken vessel and demolished him).

a week later, he asked to come to the station, and he apologized to your friend. even made them a little drawing in hopes of really expressing how bad he felt. he was forgiven, but said friend doesn't come over anymore :(

the incident prompted you to take vessel to iv to get some more repairs. vessel was not happy about that, he was like a dog being taken to the fucking vet. the repairs were just to fix the danger sensors to be less... trigger happy.

you also made him take some proper classes on protection, deescalation, and just general "bodyguarding 101". this is his intended purpose but he's faulty and also an OLD MODEL of bodyguard android.

he gets better at distinguishing threats and non-threats, and the classes actually end up helping him adjust better to society (he mainly was cooped up in your house before) and later becoming your certified bodyguard in the police department!! (but that isn't until WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY LATER)

... he still has his moments. OKAY I'M RAMBLING NOW BUT THE SHORT ANSWER IS YES.

also i love it!! whenever you have an au thought during your dishes, send it to me!! i'm happy to read anything you have!

"That can't be comfortable" "You Have a Bed" "This is not ideal for your body"

<3 @lyricallymelodic

he will not let you hear the end of it! he's no expert on how human bodies are supposed to be positioned by any means but it doesn't look right.

"Your body requires rest in a proper fashion. Sleeping this way will only bring you harm in ways that you do not deserve."

he's seen you sleep in your bed before and you don't lay like that in bed! and you're on the COUCH like that?! what has gotten into you?? humans are weird!!!

no, he's not having this, actually! you know what he's gonna do? he's gonna pick you up and CARRY YOU to your bed. if you're asleep, it's bridal style. but if it's when you're awake and he just finished scolding you? he picks you up and swings you over his shoulder.

"Apologies, but it is in your best interest to be placed somewhere you will find optimal comfort."

either way, he doesn't care if you just woke up from a nap, you will be going in that damn bed and resting. and if your body is in fact aching from sleeping in that position, he will give you a massage. (it will be a very slow and careful massage though, because vessel's model is meant to hold onto things very strongly, and he doesn't want to accidentally hurt you).

and if you let him, he'll totally cuddle with you if you want a nap pt. 2

I DON'T KNOW I JUST WAS THINKING ABOUT HOW CUTE THIS WOULD BE??? android!vessel is a sweetheart i think he deserves this

obligatory delta tag: @astronoids

also, little hc about his contact photo: he posed for it. reader asked to take a photo of him for his contact and he did that on his own >w<
