I've been doing great but this makes me better

Pamper (MGS4!Raiden x Fem!Reader fluff)

Just like he'd done for the last several weeks, Raiden trooper tiredly through the front door, looking less like a living person and more like a Halloween decoration that had been left up and forgotten about until New Years.

"I'm home..." He rasped wearily, the sound akin to that of an old engine finally giving up. Blowing out a wheezy sigh, he sank onto the couch, creaking like a rusty hinge.

"Aww Jack," You began suddenly, rushing over to him as soon as you caught sight of him. "You poor baby. You look awful—beautiful, but awful."

"I know," He moaned, practically collapsing against you while you fussed over him.

"You know what you need?" You asked, already intending to answer for him regardless of how he responded. "What you need is a self care night. What do you think?"

Raiden couldn't answer you out of sheer exhaustion, but he managed to voice his agreement by letting out a rumbly "umpf". You figured that was enough, kissed his forehead, and hurried off to gather all the things you thought you would need. You returned several moments later with a variety of goods, from bottles of nail polish to a foot massager. Though it was unlikely the foot massager would work on Raiden since his feet were made of metal and he likely couldn't feel anything through them, you figured it was worth a shot anyway.

While he laid upon the couch in a position that would make a normal human cramp up in less than five minutes, you got to work plugging everything in and making sure all your supplies were present and accounted for. Once you were done with that, you grabbed one of his hands and began inspecting his nails—er—claws, which were badly scuffed after weeks of literal wear and tear.

"What're you doing?" Grumbled the cyborg, as soon as he heard you vigorously filing them.

"Fixing your nails, they're a mess," You answered firmly. "Now shh, lie back and relax. Here, put your feet in this." Without warning, you slid the foot massager under his feet, which were sharp, pointy in shape, and not at all easy to handle safely, and lowered the aforementioned appendages onto the device. Once the thing powered on, Raiden let out a soft sigh of relief, suggesting he might have nerves in his feet after all.

"How's that?" You asked, while furiously blowing the dust of his now-reshaped nails because you didn't feel like wiping them away.

"Good," Sighed Raiden, straightening up from his frightening position and groaning in enjoyment again, his vision drifting down to you as you meticulously slathered glossy, glittery grey nail polish onto his nails. "Are you doing what I think you're doing?"

"Yup." You answered without even looking up.

"OK...keep going..."

The next few minutes were spent in silence as you pampered his hands, even applying some cuticle oil despite the fact that he didn't have cuticles. Once his hands were done, you decided to polish the rest of him because the metal covering his body looked dull and boring. It deserved to be glossy and sleek, like his nails now were, and while it was difficult to apply the polish in some areas, (you had to leave for a moment to retrieve a bottle and paintbrush you remembered he had left lying around in the bathroom) you figured a way to get him thoroughly coated, and couldn't help but stand back, admire your work, and smirk proudly once you finished.

You would have asked Raiden what he thought of his new "paint job", but he looked like he'd fallen asleep, and you didn't think it was worth waking him up over. Instead, you took a seat next to him, arranged yourself in a comfortable position, planted a kiss on each of his cheeks, then snuggled up to him for a nap. No sooner had you done that did he suddenly flutter awake, mumbling something about how he was just resting his eyes, and then noticed how shiny he was.

"Thanks," He said, in between yawns, further demonstrating his gratitude by kissing your forehead. His metal jaw bumped against the upper part of your hose, but it didn't bother you, if anything, it was one of the things that made his kisses so unique.

"Wanna watch a movie?" You suggested, lazily handing him the remote that just convienently happened to be in your reach.

"Eeh," He said indifferently, taking the remote and flicking through your options before settling on some cheesy rom-com that looked vaguely interesting. Neither of you ended up paying much attention to it because at around 20 minutes into the film, you started trading kisses and paid less and less attention to the TV with each pasing minute.

Eventually, the movie was forgotten about entirely, left to play in the background while you cuddled up on the couch, giggling and kissing. Neither of you were the least bit embarrassed--why would you be anyway? You loved each other dearly, and were in the privacy of your own home, what did you have to lose? Nothing! Here, with each other, you could do whatever you wanted, be as lovey-dovey as you pleased, all while feeling the safest you'd ever felt in the history of your lives. There was really nothing like it, which made you long for more.

The impact of this price adjustment was evident in the sales figures for July, as the Volkswagen ID.3 achieved sales of 7,378 units in China, in stark contrast to the 1,819 units sold in June. This impressive 305% surge in sales from June to July. Notably, this July figure marks a significant achievement, as the monthly sales volume for this model had never exceeded 5,000 units in the Chinese market during 2021.

Configuration of Volkswagen ID.3

The Chinese iteration of the ID.3 is a product of SAIC Volkswagen, a joint venture between SAIC and Volkswagen. It is offered in two versions: a base configuration priced at 119,900 yuan (16,600 USD) and a higher-end variant with a price tag of 149,900 yuan (20,800 USD). In terms of dimensions, the Chinese version closely mirrors its European counterpart, boasting 4261 mm in length, 1778 mm in width, 1568 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2765 mm(..)

P.S. Wow! Impressively competitive price! Who wouldn't buy this VW electric car in Europe if the normal version with 57.3 kWh battery costs $20,800, but unfortunately that's not the case here. In Latvia, the price of VW ID.3 Pro with 58/62 kWh battery starts from 35,400 EUR and more expensive, even with state support. It is expensive vehicle for those who usually bought a compact hatchback.

This raises quite a few questions about the extent to which legacy OEMs are lying to consumers about the real costs of production and the difficulties involved in producing EVs. If you count the prices of battery materials, taxes and transport costs, it turns out that properly organized production of electric cars is actually not as expensive as the car companies try to tell us. The actual price of the VW ID.3 should be much closer to the current MG4 prices in Europe...

Yes, yes, the politically correct people will immediately start yelling that Volkswägens is such an "ethical" company and it is not good to insult them prematurely for inflated prices, but the doubt still remains: why the hell are electric cars produced by VW so cheap in China and so outrageously expensive in Europe??? Where does "free trade" remain? Maybe "free trade" is not so free at all and the big companies are just fooling the Europeans!?

After all, VW provided us with "dieselgate" scandal! Now, why would you blindly believe their stories that the VW ID.3 is as damn expensive in Europe as they say, when in China it's a pretty cheap electric car???? After all, VW ID.3 is produced in China in cooperation with SAIC.
