Synopsis: What's it like dating the fellow you are trapped by and ruled by? Sweet, actually... maybe it's Stockholm and lima syndrome? Whatever!
β Dating Caine is smoothβ¦ for most of the time.Β
β Okay, letβs begin with how you even got with the charming pair of eyes and mouth.
β After being in the circus for what felt like a century, seeing people come and go (abstract), you kind of just accepted that there was no way out and that you would be stuck there for eternity. Yes, you went through a life crisis, questioned your philosophy, and such. But when you finally concluded that it didnβt matter, everything felt freer.Β
β Judgement? Why bother? Thatβs why, when you confided in your cynical rabbit friend that you had a thing going on for your fellow ring leader, he stared at you, genuinely, as though you were the next worst thing after abstraction.
β βYou canβt be that desperate.β
β βWho said Iβm desperate?β
β Youβre just weighing the options here, and Caine seemed like the right one.Β
β Plus, it would be entertaining to teach an AI how to love.Β
β You didnβt think it was possible, though. If anything, you just felt attraction for his character, but not something youβd call love. Just mess around and have fun.Β
β βCaine, dear, can you help me, please?β
β Dear? Since when did you get the idea to call him such an endearing nameβ¦ He hesitates for a moment, until seconds pass and he approaches you, helping with whatever task you had at hand. Caine is there to help anyone, something he usually informs others of, so you shouldnβt be any different.
β You start dropping more detailed compliments, his weakness. Once an adventure was done, youβd immediately go to him, telling him what you enjoyed.Β
β But after a while, you found yourself enjoying these conversations, not just because you wanted a reaction out of him, but instead, you began looking forward to telling the ringleader what would happen during the adventures. Drama, fights, trutshs, or lies, whatever it was and you discovered it, youβd yap to Caine about it, both of you adding on with opinions and theories. You didnβt know the AI could be this entertaining to talk to.Β
β It wasnβt only you who was beginning to anticipate these discussions, Caine did as well! He finally felt part of the circus rather than the controlling mastermind within the characters. You made him feel alike. Not merely thatβ¦ your presence became a sort of comfort for him. When he had realized that, he had chuckled to himself, believing that maybe his code was messing up, since first and foremost, heβs artificial intelligence, he canβt feel solace, he shouldnβt.
β Yet you remain oblivious about his inner struggle since you were dealing with your own. You actually started crushing on the lack-of-a-head male.Β
β Caine, at some point, started joining adventures. His excuse was that the adventures required duos. The others, however, rolled their eyes, already knowing the obvious answer to his plan.Β
β Holding hands became a requirement between you two. So you wouldnβt get lost, obviously. Depending on what the adventure was, usually youβd take nice strolls together, talking about anything that came to mind, other than the hand holding. He thinks itβs cute.
β When you do start dating (after Caine felt like there was a life and death situation (there wasnβt, you canβt die unless you abstract)), heβs very devoted! I mean, he was even before it, but he upped it by 100! This man makes sure you are happy! Especially when it comes to him.Β
β Youβre craving your favorite dish? Yeah, sure, my beloved turtledove, even if you canβt physically feel hunger, you deserve it because you are beautiful and resilient. You donβt feel like walking? Alright, well, now you can float alongside him; heβll hold your hand so you donβt feel afraid. He glazes you like crazy.
β The moon still flirts with him, but you personally donβt feel threatened at all; however, Caine is OFFENDED that the moon dared to flirt with him, even if you were not in the room. Heβll shout at it.
β βMY BELOVED PARTNER WILL NOT BE PLEASED, AND IF THEYβRE NOT THEN NEITHER AM I!βΒ
β Think Morticia and Gomez Addams, but toned down because Caine lacks the confidence of Gomez. While youβre more level-headed, heβs melodramatic, but he knows you enjoy it, so sometimes heβll keep the act up just to hear you giggle.Β
β Now, obviously, everyone notices the favoritism, which agitates some of them, but what can they do? Caine will simply ignore them or shush them. (Ragatha is the only one who thinks itβs cute; Kinger doesnβt mind because heβd do the same for Queenie)
β Itβs no longer a βgood ideaβ, itβs a β[___] IDEA!β, because all good things start with you.Β
β His dislike for Bubble grew, though. The abhorrent creature (he describes) doesnβt know to mind their business.Β
β βBoss is having dirty thoughts about you!β
β βIs he really? Wow, thank you, my heart.β
β βNβNO, I AM NOT!β
β He totally was. Especially with the certain outfit you wore at that moment.Β
β Thatβs another thing! Youβ¦ get to dress in whatever you absolutely want, even if it didnβt exist, Caine would design it to your perfect image, having you wear it within the hour. Matching outfits!!! (And because youβre a genuine human being, you made Caine let the others have turns too)
β The gang becomes grateful for your guys' bond due to them being able to de-stress, and because Caine became additionally understanding of their human struggles through you. You taught him not only love, but empathy.
β He loves feeling your hand rub his non-existent cheek. Please never stop touching the man; he needs it. Without it, he feels his day is incomplete. His favorite physical thing to do is having you in close proximity! Heβs not the biggest fan of PDA since he does have a reputation to hold. Nevertheless, he will never deny holding your hand or your hand being anywhere on him. Smack his butt when no oneβs looking, he acts shy, yet he likes it.Β
β In private, thoughβ¦ heβs even more of a fiend for your warmth. Tangle your arms and legs around him, and Caine will melt like a candle. He loves holding you while you both lie down, staring at one another, even if itβs dark and he canβt see you, he still chooses to face your direction.
β He enjoys lying his head on your chest, hearing your beating heart, something that sets him apart from you. Sometimes, he does feel frantic about how different you both are, feeling that you deserve better and βrealβ love rather than whatever heβs offering you.Β
β Youβd take his hand, placing it on your thigh, your other hand holding his chin. βNoβ¦ in every lifetime, Iβd choose you, silly. I love you because youβre you, not βcause of what you are or arenβt. As long as I know you hold my heart as I hold yours, even if it is metaphorically.β
β Heβd sob at your generous words. Simply holding him as you reassure him makes him believe that maybe thenβ¦ he is like you. Perhaps no body, no soul, or whatever else, but his emotions are very true, and they belong to you and you solely.Β
β Patience. You must be really patient with him, be soft, and donβt hold grand expectations, because at the end of the day, heβs fearful of becoming nothing. But alongside you, he feels like something more than ever.
β To him, you represent the beauty of life, of being human; he doesnβt want to glorify you, but damn, you make it impossible not to when you validate him so kindly and with such care, kissing him either so lightly or frustratingly, he wondersβ¦ is this what heaven is like?Β
a/n: I still have some request to do, but idk if they'll be done this week ｑ°(Β°.βα― βΒ°)°ｑ since I have to update my series'! But dw y'all, I will pull through! Luckily I haven't gotten too much homework as of now besides readings! I also finished reading 'White Nights' by Fyodor Dostoevsky, for a short read, I'd reccommend it. I was seeing if it inspired me by any sorts, but it honestly felt quite Caine coded?
