[Examine: your boyfriend. One of them at least]
> One of them? Weak!! All of them!!
> Gamzee is over there, asleep. You’re over here, awake, because the light will wake him up. Also the clicking. You don’t know how to make your keys stop clicking every time you press them. He has the grubs, and his curly hair spills over the little sleeping annex’s ledge. It’s like, a weird corner situation, instead of being the width of the trailer like you think it ought to be. The grubs nest in his hair, pressed together and snoring softly.> They’re the kind of art that revives eras. Your heart swells.
> Iron you can imagine getting too warm on these beaches, but machines are not meant to be cold, either. When he leaves his session, you want to take him somewhere moonlit and crystalline until he thinks he can stand the sight of sand or sun again. You need to hold him, but his game terrifies you away from visiting as often as you want.> He’s beautiful, and an important part of your life.
> Moira’s...an iffy boyfriend, if only because Moira prefers the ‘It’ pronoun while its counterpart Moirah is actually the boy. You...find that uncomfortable and weird, but your AI lover’s chosen gender isn’t something you get to be uncomfy about. It’s a computer.> A computer you insist you would love the same without Moirah’s body, but you wonder now; after meeting Moirah and Moira the way they were meant to be, if Moira was the navigator and Moirah the body, the ‘battery’ - gods, that term sickens you, but you can’t free it when it doesn’t want to be free - you know you would have fallen in love with Moirah, so could have loved Moira the same?> In infinite universes, you tell yourself, in which Moira is who it is, you would always find yourself falling in love with Moira. In infinite universe where Moira never becomes who it is, you fall in love with Moirah.
> Mituna’s love is warm, and so is he. You have fallen in love with him a hundred times anew, but you and he are not meant for one another in this life. With new cybernetics, learning to read, write, and function n public, he’s got a busy life right now. He’s trying so hard, and he’s so dedicated. His small body is the ideal of strength to you.
> Saiiya makes you feel things you’re not entirely familiar with; you love having lovers much larger than you, and something about him makes you feel so...wanted. Even if the two of you aren’t in a quad, and you may never be, you do love him, and it’s only growing. His wide smile, gentle hands, fluffy-frizzy hair, and his eyes, his beautiful eyes, on you...he’s a kindred spirit.
