#data imagine

If you are down for it, I would love to see what you come up with for Data with the "cuddles" prompt?

I hope you have an amazing day/night and your pillow is cool on both sides 🩵

As soon as I saw your request I had to write this straight away, I hope it was good and that you like it.

Cuddles with Data

After a mission that didn't go as planned, you're heading back to the USS Enterprise. Your team would meet with Data, the commander would go with you to the captain to deliver the mission report.

You were quiet the whole way from the transporter room to the captain's office, attracting Data's curious gaze. It was not yet known to the crew that you had gone on a few dates to get to know each other. There was something about the android's calm personality that caught his attention, contrasting with the bubbling day-to-day life inside the ship.

You head straight to your quarters after the meeting, leaving behind a confused Data at the strange and distant way you were acting.

He notices that you're not just quiet — something else seems to be affecting you. Your eyes, normally vibrant and expressive, seem dull, and sadness seems to hang over you.

Intrigued by his way of acting, Data decides to talk to Counselor Troi. He knows that even if he tries, he will never fully understand human emotions on his own.

Most of Data and reader being together is holodeck dates to people watch or solve mysteries.

•frankly, utter bewilderment! There are of course, species that are immune to your natural ability, but eventually you in those moments you sense a living presence…with Data: nothing.

•you circle him a little bit like you’re checking him out, which makes Deanna chuckle, she’d had much the same reaction.

•Data himself doesn’t mind unduly. He stands still for you to make your observations. You see, he is also making observations, he’s spoken at length to Deanna about his desire to draw comparisons and research the differences between a half Betazoid and a full one. He’s read several hundred textbooks on the subject!

•you sit down in front of him, perplexed but grinning. ‘I think, Mr Data, we’re going to be friends you and I. You might be the only being in existence who could ever sneak up on me.’ You noticed his head tilt for the first time as he started to speak ‘I do have the ability to be stealthy and approach silently’ he confirmed. Deanna chuckled and then turned her attention back to you.

Geordie: “Well, Data, seems your biggest wish has come true.”

Data: “What do you mean, Geordie?”

🤗, 👑 & 😏?

🤗: Okay, honestly; how satisfied are you two with your sex life?

Ari: “Um… I mean-“

Data: “I would prefer we had sex more.”

Ari: *practically implodes* “Uh… what?”

Data: “Between how busy we have been constructing my alternate model, and Ari’s responsibilities in the 21st century, we do not have as much time to be intimate as we used to. We still spend much time together, but other matters are prioritized. It is a temporary problem, but not a pleasant one.”

Ari: “Uuuh…. Uhh… What he said? Or not what he said… oh my god what did I get myself into…”

👑: Who’s usually the one taking the lead?

Data: “At first it was me by necessity, as Ari’s insecurities made it unlikely for her to make the first move. Now she usually does, as whether my emotion chip is functional or not, she’s typically the best at telling when the ‘timing’ is appropriate. If you mean throughout the whole act- the answer is similar. As Ari gains confidence, she enjoys the lead more.

Ari: *rubs my face* “I mean, he answered enough for me, didn’t he?”

Data: *tilts his head at me*

Ari: “You’re doin’ great, Porcelain.”

😏: Are there any kinks you both share? If so, what is it and how often do you live it out together?

Data: “By the time my emotion chip was installed, I was essentially ‘primed’ to share many of Ari’s tastes in that regard. We are both quite partial to tickling. Also-“

Plot: you go to see Data's recent invention which happens to be his child

A/N: YO IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY! I wanted to post something for today while I work on a request and this has been sitting in my drafts forever now.

Data decided to call you, Wesley, Geordi, and Deanna into his lab. He's been working in there for weeks without telling anyone anything.

"I have no idea what he's doing," you told Geordi.

"Shocker. You're the one who sleeps with him," Geordi mumbled, making you laugh and making Wesley's ears turn red.

The four of you made it into Data's lab and he looked at everyone, surprised.

"Oh, you are early. Just a moment, please," Data said as the door closed, leaving everyone confused.

"I wonder what he's working on," Wes mumbled softly.

"You may enter now," Data announced as the door came open. Whatever was in the middle of the room was gone now.

"Data, what are you doing?" You asked while walking up to him.

"Yeah, Data, what's going on?" Wesley asked while scanning the room.

"I have invited you to meet someone," Data said while pressing buttons on his keypad.

Down came an android, but it didn't look like on, instead it looked like a mannequin.

"This is Lal. Lal, say hello to Counselor Deanna Troi."

"Hello, Counselor Deanna Troi," it spoke, making you smile.

Data did everyone's introductions, except yours for some reason.

"Who is that behind you, Father?" The android asked and you were confused.

"It called you "Father", Data." Wesley told him, confused by it all.

"Yes, it did. Lal is my daughter," Data stated.

~

Lal was precious. Everything about her reminded you of Data, except for Data didn't call you mother.

"Mother, what is this?" Lal asked before picking up one of your books.

"It's a book, sweetie. It tells a story on several sheets of paper," you explained.

"Ah, a book," she mumbled before sitting it back down.

"Mother?" Lal asked while sitting down on the couch.

"Yes, Lal?"

"Why are you my mother and Data my father?"

You chuckled before sitting next to her. "Well, Data and I experience romantic attraction to each other and since he made you, that would make me your mother."

"But you are not an android?"

"No, Lal, I'm human."

"Then why would you love Father? He is different from you."

You took Lal's hand and smiled at her. "I didn't care that he was different, I just knew that I loved him. When it comes to something like love, then you don't care how different that person is, you just care about loving them."

"I see," she mumbled, "Love is the concept of not seeing the differences and knowing that you care for them, no matter what."

"Exactly," you smiled at her. "Now you have to go, Guinan is expected to see you."

"Yes, thank you, Mother," Lal slightly smiled at you before standing up and leaving.

First it started with the threat of Starfleet taking Lal since she was a new creation. Then came the emotions.

Lal was experiencing emotions.

"Data! What's wrong with Lal?" You asked him as Lal went into his lab.

"She is programmed to report back to the lab when there is a malfunction. Did you see anything wrong?"

"She went into Deanna's quarters and then she left. Deanna said that she felt the fear and anxiety in Lal. Data, if Lal has your programming-"

"This should not be happening. I will try to fix the malfunction."

"Please, try and save our little girl," you whispered.

"I will," he nodded curtly.

~

Data came out of his lab and you knew something was wrong. "(Y/N), come with me please."

You followed Data inside and Lal stood there.

"Lal, sweetie, how are you doing?" You asked softly as Data put his hands on your shoulders.

"I know I am going to die soon. There is nothing to do to stop it, but Father tried his best."

"I know he did, he always does his best," you smiled sadly.

"I know Father cannot feel emotions, but I know he loves me because he cares for me and that is love."

"Lal," Data whispered. It was more of a surprised whisper.

"I love you, Father. I love you, Mother."

"We love you too, Lal," you told her before planting a kiss on her artificial forehead.

"My family," she said softly before she powered down.

You cried silently as Data just stood there, but you knew he was sad. This was his daughter, his own creation.

"Come on," Data said. "Let us go back to my quarters."

And you both did and you let your emotions out.

"She was something, wasn't she?" You asked him. "She thought I was her mother. I was a mother."

"(Y/N), you were the best mother Lal could have. She learned about love from you."

"I know," you smiled at him, the tears still on your face. "I know."

Data came over and wiped the tears away. Even though he didn't show anything, you knew that he was broken up over this. Lal was his daughter too.

"I had a chance of having a family, I had a little girl," you cried. "We both did."

"Have you always wanted a family?"

"Yeah," you said softly. "I always wanted a family with you, but we can't."

Data hugged you and stroked your hair. "I did not know this."

You stayed there and cried into Data's shoulder.

"I can always build another and keep them as our own. We can have our own family."

"Really?" You sniffed.

You and Data had participated in an android-human romantic relationship for three months, ten days, eleven hours, forty minutes, and thirty-seven seconds. Every day was a new experience, testing the waters and exploring your feelings for him and his thoughts about you that he had never had regarding anyone else before.
