Are you sure you donāt want to invest in some earplugs? [/he kept pushing the topic, nudging the other a little with a smile.] Iām kidding. I wonāt be too loud, I promise. [/he nods a few times before focusing his gaze once again onto the movie thatās playing, wishing that he had seen it from the beginning since it seemed like a movie that you had to watch the start or else the rest of the movie wouldnāt make sense if you start it elsewhere. as soon as the scientistās voice was heard again, his focus was broken, automatically giving his attention back to the other male, of course.] Nope! But I know a lot about televisions and shows and genres of showsā¦ [/he shrugs his shoulders slightly with a grin.] Cartoons and horror? Do I look like someone thatād like those kinds of things? [/chuckles softly.] Oh! What about cartoon horror? Donāt they have things like that? Then again, there are so many genres and people like to make new ones up so I wouldnāt be surprised if there was a romance horror with a humor twist. But wouldnāt that fall under dark comedy? [/he blinks, obviously over thinking this subject too much, but it manages to humor himself since he can ramble about basically anything, even if he has zero knowledge of something. he trails off after a while, his focus going back to the last parts of the movie before he notices the human get up from the couch, blinking as he watches him disappear into the kitchen, a small pout appearing on his face at the lack of a warm body close against his own. he shrugs it off and continues to focus on the screen in front of him, laughing at the small jokes going on back and forth before his attention is moved back to the scientist upon hearing his voice, looking back at the doorway of the kitchen and watching as the other slowly makes his way back over to where he was sitting, causing him to smile widely at the sight of the popsicles finally being done.] Aah! Look at them! Thatās so cool! [/he muses, staring them down as he looks at the patterns of the different colors from the fruit. he moves his arms out in front of him, making grabby hands at one of the popsicles, eager to finally try the treat that heād been waiting patiently for since they had got to the apartment.] Lemme try it! [/his lips curve into a smile.]
Well.. I don't know about cartoon horror. Not horror that is actually scary, anyway. They don't really make stuff like that for fear of traumatizing children, I guess. Which makes sense, even if it was a cartoon for adults you never know if a kid would innocently start watching, not knowing it's a grown-up movie, and then they're scared for life. But I mean,Ā I know of many horror animes, but animes don't count as cartoons. And there are some computer-animated movies that are somewhat creepy, but again, I wouldn't be quick to call themĀ horror. For the same reason there's no true horror cartoons that I can recall. (/he hesitates as he thinks about this, clucking his tongue a few times in a thoughtful manner) Out of animated movies that are sort of spooky but mostly for kids, I thiiiink you'd like... maybe Nightmare Before Christmas or Coraline. I enjoy both of those, and I'm a grown man. (/realizing that his words imply the other isn't a grown man, he hesitates; while the robot boy is young in terms of how long since he's been activated, he still has the body and mind of an adult) Not that you're not grown as well, just.. (/cracking a grin, he finally hands the popsicle to the other, realizing he'd been standing in place awkwardly the whole time) You're a bit childlike. That's not meant to be taken as an insult, by the way, I find it.. very sweet and cute. It's charming on you. Don't change. (/ruffling the android's hair with his free hand, he walks towards the DVD rack beside his television and skims through the selection, his gaze running along each film title before he finds what he's looking for and grins brighter. picking out the Coraline case, he opens it and takes out the disc, pressing a button on the DVD player to make the tray open before he sets it in and closes it once more. then, backing up to the couch to grab the remote, he fiddles with the menu screen until the movie begins to play, finally shifting to sit down once it's started) Watch this with me, you'll like it I think. (/the popsicle in his hand has begun melting by this point, and with a soft noise of surprise he starts licking it to clean up the mess, laughing quietly at himself after doing so, before his free arm reaches out again. this time, it finds its way around the other's shoulders once more and he pulls him close to his side, leaning their heads together while he focuses his gaze on the television, though every so often it flickers to the boy at his side to gauge his reactions to what he's watching)
Mmhm! Only one bag! Itās kind of a big bag, but not too terribly big. I just crammed a lot of things into it so itās kinda heavy. [/he nods a few times with a smile, but it fades slightly as he blinks up at the other male. when heās about to say once again say that itās okay and he can take care of it himself, heās cut off by the soft touch against his cheek and also the following words; āit would make me happyā being the hook that he canāt compete with. the corners of his lips curve up into another smile before nodding a few times.] If it makes you happy, then thatās fine with me~ [/he chuckles quietly among himself, catching a brief glimpse of the otherās face as he ran off to the kitchen, realizing that he probably caught him off guard with the small kiss. he didnāt even hesitate to do such a thing, it was almost like clockwork when it happened. was it going to be like this all the time? just no thought process beforehand? it didnāt mind him at all since this was in his programming nonetheless, but it still made him a bit surprised at himself. as soon as he flopped onto the couch next to the scientist, he automatically curled up into his side once an arm was draped around him, smiling widely.] Really? Well, youāll be hearing it often from me! [/he laughs loudly, nuzzling his face into the humanās shoulder before resting his head onto it, staring at the television. he blinks a few times at the question, shrugging his shoulders a bit.] I donāt know what I like to watchā¦ I havenāt really watched anything. [/he stares at the remote handed to him, pressing the buttons on it to flip through the channels, watching as different pictures flash by, eventually landing on some kind of movie in black and white. he focuses in on the program, laughing here and there before he stops, glancing up at the other out of the corner of his eye, a wide smile taking form on his face.] Aah~ Iām glad that youāre glad. [/heād smile even more if it was possible, but he just settles with his usual wide smile, placing the remote down next to him on the couch, reaching over to grab onto the otherās hand and hold it in his own as he continues to look at the screen.] You might need to invest in some earplugs, though. I donāt want to give you headaches on a daily basis~ [/he openly jokes about his own voice level, chuckling to himself before going quiet, watching the rest of the movie in silence.]
(/pleased that he won the little "fight" over his spending money on the other, he smiles to himself while they sit together on the couch comfortably, using the time spent resting his eyes to let his mind wander about and race with a few different topics at once. mainly, he makes a mental list of things needed when they go out to shop, like more clothes and accessories so the robot can dress with more variety, as well as any decorations for the apartment he'd like to make the space more "his", as it really wa snow his home as well. some grocery shopping would also have to be done while they were at it, as he mostly only has fruit in his refrigerator, liking to have it for snacking when he's at home since most of his meals would normally be spent in the cafeteria at the facility instead. but he senses that his new companion would prefer staying alone at the apartment more, which he's surprised to realize that he would as well. normally he's so wrapped up in his work, with such little going on aside from it, that he doesn't usually have an issue with working after hours or even sleeping in his lab, but the idea of lazing about the apartment with the other instead feels far more satisfying and inviting. which, provided he's not too busy, would be do-able, so long as he stocked the apartment with food and some more things to make them both more comfortable. before, the apartment was simply a place to sleep away from the lab, a resting area and nothing else. now, he supposed, it would start feeling like a home, an idea that made him smile to himself and tighten his arm around the boy, enjoying the closeness when he feels the android snuggle closer into his side and use his shoulder as a pillow) Earplugs? Nah, I'll let my ears get used to the noise, that's all. (/peeking an eye open, he watches the movie playing on the screen, giving it his attention for a few moments before glancing down at the robot instead, finding him much more entertaining to watch) So.. never watched anything before, huh? I have a feeling you would like either cartoons of maybe even horror movies... perhaps both. They just suit you, both of them, and I'm not sure why... (/shrugging, he goes quiet, watching the robot as he watches the movie, though as it's almost come to an end he quietly pulls away and rises to his feet, going into the kitchen to check on the popsicles. seeing they're ready, he takes two from the mold and carries them back into the living room, grinning softly as he holds one out to the other to take, getting his attention by speaking in a sing-song voice) Look what I haaaave~
[/he canāt help but smile when heās listening to the scientist talk about his past simply because of the stringed instrument, happy that the other was sharing this with him even though it probably wasnāt anything āhugeā but still. he listens to every word with a smile spreading across his lips, nodding here and there to show that he was in fact listening, he didnāt know what to say so he just kept quiet, letting the other talk as much as he wanted to about the subject, his eyes wandering to the guitar once the strings are strummed, noting that the other male must play it quite often or else itād be out of tune. while listening to the melody, he canāt help but sway his head side to side, enjoying the tune.] Aah~ I only have a bag of personal belongings so it wonāt be hard to bring them here~ I wonāt take up much space at all! [/he comments while continuing to sway side to side, though he stops before the playing ends, shaking his head almost rapidly, his smile disappearing.] You donāt have to buy me things! Itās okay! [/his lip juts out after speaking, not liking the idea of him spending money.] I can get my own things! [/he nods a few times, letting his arms tighten around the otherās middle, burying his face against his shoulder in silence before pulling away slightly to look up, blinking at the question.] I donāt know. I just feel like I should be thanking you, thatās all~ [/the corners of his lips curve up into a smile as he pulls away more to fully face the other, though his eyes widen when he thinks back to the popsicles.] Oh! Do you think those popsicles are done now? [/he questions, smiling even more.] I wanna go check on them! [/retracting his arms, he leans up to place a quick kiss to the scientistās cheek before skipping out of the room and down the hall, back into the kitchen, automatically coming to a screeching halt in front of the freezer, opening the door on it and peering into it; prodding his index finger against the mold a few times.] Hmā¦ Jonghunnie! I donāt think theyāre done yet! [/he calls out, continuing to poke at the popsicle mold with a small pout before shutting the freezer door and turning back around, wandering out of the kitchen and into the living room to flop down onto the couch.]
Only one bag? You'll need more clothes and things then, for sure. (/he purses his lips thoughtfully and scratches the back of his head, humming a curious sound) I wonder if we could go shopping tonight or if it'd be better in the morning.. (/blinking once he's informed he doesn't need to be spending money on him, he nearly laughs in reply, shaking his head and looking down at the robot still attached to him like some baby koala) Hongki, I have plenty of money and I don't want you doing without just because you feel guilty or prideful. Let me do this for you, okay? (/he caresses the curve of the other's cheek using the backs of his fingers, another hum leaving his lips, this one a sound of contentment as he enjoys their simple but affectionate gestures they keep sharing with one another) Let me buy for you, please? I have no one else to spoil, it would make me happy. (/he puts emphasis on the last part, hoping that the robot's need to please him would make him give into his urging. chuckling once the popsicles are brought up again, he glances to the door, in the direction of the kitchen) The popsicles? I'm not sure, you can check on them though. (/blinking when his cheek is kissed, he touches his face once the android boy has left the room, following behind him and subtly touching his own face with a goofy grin as he does so, his expression quickly turning to one of surprise when he hears the nickname called out to him. though, he can't resist smiling, and as he changes destinations to go sit on the couch once the other has returned to settle down, he remarks with another grin) No one has called me Jonghunnie in years. (/taking a seat on the couch and getting comfortable, he watches in amusement as the other flops down beside him, scooting closer and reaching out to drape an arm over his shoulders before his free hand grabs the remote to turn the television on) What do you like to watch, Hongki? (/once it's on, he begins flipping through chanels before handing him the remote, leaning their heads together and closing his eyes to rest them for a minute or so while the robot watches television) Hongki? (/he speaks without opening his eyes) I'm glad you decided to stay with me, it's often very quiet here and I can tell it won't be anymore. I look forward to this.
A-aah, okay! [/another smile quickly taking form on his lips after his short response, his eyes automatically going back to looking around curiously in no uniformed pattern as heās dragged out of the kitchen and pulled into the next room over. he shuffles a bit closer to the scientist when they stop, his lips pursed together as he takes in the layout and commits it to memory even though there wasnāt much to it, but even so it didnāt hurt to memorize the room and whatās in it. after simply nodding at the humanās commentary, they move out of the living room and into the hall, brown orbs still inspecting the area around him as he continues to be pulled along in this tour. as soon as they stop in front of the bathroom, of course curiosity kills the cat, making him peek inside and take a look for himself. it doesnāt take him long to figure out that it was just a regular old bathroom, but the scientist was right; it was a nice tub. he chuckles softly to himself as he retracts away from the bathroom, ready to move on with the last part of the tour. once they move to the bedroom, he is the first one to step inside, letting go of the otherās hand to look around a bit closer for himself; his eyes fixating onto the guitars in the corner farthest away from him.] Uwahā¦! You play the guitar? [/he waddles over to the corner to look at the guitars a little more closely, his hand reaching out to touch one of them but he pulls away, not sure if he should touch them since they look in perfect condition; also he wasnāt sure if it could be the scientistās prized possessions that arenāt anything to do with his line of work.] Theyāre pretty! [/he chimes, turning around and looking at the bed with a wide smile, flopping himself onto it and lying there for a few seconds with his face pressed down against the sheets before rolling until heās on his back, looking at the ceiling.] Itās a nice bedroom! [/he comments, his smile still sticking on his face as he turns his head to look at the human.] I donāt have much, really~ So, I could easily find a place for my things here if I wanted to bring them along. [/he sits up, shuffling to sit on the edge of the bed before standing back up and moving back over to the other, standing in front of him.] And Iām already comfortable! [/he flashes a quick grin, throwing his arms around him in a tight hug.] Thank you!~
(/nodding in reply as the robot seemed to focus on his guitars the most, a sheepish smile crosses his face and he makes his way over to pick up the one that the other had reached for, turning the instrument in his hands as he stares at it longingly) My first love, actually. Music, guitar. I taught myself how to play when I was twelve, I didn't decide to be a scientist until I was... (/pausing, he gets a thoughtful look on his face, trying to remember the exact age) Mm, sixteen? My dad's colleague owned a robot and I found it fascinating, and he talked about the scientists that worked on them. I was already good in science and do well with my hands, especially for technical things, so I thought it was something to check out, and I fell in love with the idea of working on robots. Part of me wanted to be a creator, still does, but... (/another pause, and he smiles softly to himself) I like helping the robots. Not just creating them, but working on them, getting to know them. I like making a difference with that. (/the whole time he's been talking, he's sat perched on the foot of his bed, the guitar held appropriately and one hand tracing along the strings as the other makes sure that it's properly tuned) I mean, would I be a creator someday if I could? Study to do that sort of thing? Yes, I'd be crazy not to take the training and have a job like that, but I'd miss the robots. I could create my own I suppose, but just... I dunno. (/laughing, he realizes he lost momentum while speaking and stopped making sense, so he turns his full attention back to his guitar and begins to play a random melody, his fingers moving with the precision of someone who has played guitar for over a decade) And I'm happy to make room for you if you bring your things here, Hongki. I also don't mind if there's new things you need... like clothes? We can go shopping together and I'll buy anything you want. It's really no problem. (/after he'd played through the brief song while speaking, he pauses his fingers and sets the guitar beside himself on the bed, rising to his feet once more and stretching. just after he's done so, he's all but tackled in a hug, letting out a soft 'oof', before wrapping his arms tightly around the robot who is now attached to his middle, unable to resist smiling as he asks playfully) What exactly are you thanking me for this time, hmmm?
[/he still couldnāt believe how he was getting so embarrassed because of these small little actions here and there from the human, never had he really been an object of someoneās affections so this was rather new to him, but it wasnāt that he didnāt like it. just he was the one that was created to do these things knowing that he could possibly be a temporary lover to someone and eventually get cast aside by probably a human and the affections would probably never reflect upon him, and he was fine with that. even right now, though he was concentrated on the popsicle mold and making sure that it was getting filled correctly as well as placing the top part onto it to finish it off, his thought process was elsewhere since he had become so flustered by the scientist. it wasnāt completely obvious to him what exactly the other wanted him as at this point; in the beginning of this deal, even prior to that, it was just to fix him and in return heād be a companion of sorts. though now, the mixed signals confuse him and he Ā doesnāt know fully how to respond since he doesnāt want to make the incorrect move. it was still so early, so he just had to be observant for however long and then be sure to act accordingly, but the constant contact like this was definitely distracting.] S-So, we put it in the fr-freezer now? [/he made sure the top of the mold was pressed on tightly to the bottom piece, but instantly freezing up at the kiss pressed against the crook of his neck; an inaudible whine is his only response before they both move over to the freezer almost in unison with the mold in hand. he quickly stuffs the popsicle mold into the freezer as soon as the scientist opens it, smiling widely as he stares at it for a second before the door is shut.] Uwah~ I canāt w-wait until theyāre d-done~ [/he comments, his wide smile not faltering a bit even as the close contact continues, starting to let himself get used to this attention as he somewhat relaxes his body back into the humanās hold.] Mmhm! I-I want a t-tour! [/he laughs quietly, turning around to face him again with a smile as his hand is grabbed, automatically squeezing the otherās hand in a silent response.] But I already feel at home so far~
(/feeling the way the smaller body in his arms freezes up until receiving the soft kiss, he feels a mixture of sheepish and satisfied with both his gesture and the reaction it earned, chuckling against his neck and resisting the urge to press his lips down again, though he does keep his mouth hovered near the smooth skin to let his breath ghost against it while he speaks) Don't worry, by the time we do the little tour and get you settled in, they'll hopefully be ready. It doesn't take terribly long. (/once he's pulled away, he misses the closeness of having his arms around the other, though he's satisfied enough when their hands are intertwined and he can easily lace his fingers through the robot boy's, holding tightly to him and smiling widely when he feels the gentle squeeze. he's still confused about his own compulsive need to be affectionate with the other, when he never used to crave such moments with another person, but while it's difficult to understand he finds he can't complain because he's usually met with nice results: either the affection is returned, or he witnesses the shy, flustered way the android boy responds to him, which is endearing enough alone to be entirely worth it) Right, well, here's the living room. (/he begins, leading the other into the next room upon exiting the kitchen, gesturing to the small but decently furnished living room, from the couch to the television and even his desk, which he has set up like a small work space) It's cozy enough, I suppose. Bathroom is next, the first door here at the start of the hall, but it's pretty much just... a bathroom. You can look in if you'd like, the tub is nice enough. (/chuckling again, he leads the boy towards the hall and stops in front of the bathroom, allowing him to poke his head in if he wishes) Utility closet is the next door, not much is in there though I have stored a few extra equipment pieces to get them out of the way, and then the bedroom is right at the end of the hall. (/he makes a sweeping gesture with his arm before opening the door to his room once they reach it, stepping inside and looking around, the space mainly holding his medium sized bed, a dresser, and a few guitars on stands in the far corner) I don't know what you may have at the facility, personal belongings or anything like that, but you're welcome to bring it here if you wish to. Or keep your own space there if you'd rather, I really don't mind either way, I just want you to be comfortable. (/turning to face him, he lets their gazes meet and smiles softly)
robot-junhyung replied to your post:
[asdfghj I got the time wrong!! Itās been 9 month. Iām sorry XD]
[ It's okay, it's not an issue!! ]
Oh, I'm around since three months now. I still consider myself as rather new to this world. //He laughs softly, his hand going up to rub the back of his neck.//
(/nods a little, studying the robot curiously now) Only three month since you were activated? Who is your creator?
I'm sorry that I didn't introduce myself before, I'm Junhyung. //He smiles at the other, tilting his head to one side. His hands stuffed into his pockets as he gives off a bow with his head.// You're quiet a while working for IX now, right?
Not a problem, hello Junhyung. (/he smiles softly in return, looking over the other before returns the slight bow of his head, offering a hand to shake after doing so) I actually have been here less than a month, but I think I know my way around a bit. And what about you?
Are you sure..? [/quietly asks, slightly looking up at the other but averting his gaze elsewhere, nodding a few times to himself before a tiny smile tugs at the corners of his lips at the ruffling heās already grown accustomed to.] Thatās understandable. If you donāt have many possessions and you live alone, itās not a smart idea to have a house that most of the rooms could go to waste. So itās a good thing you moved into this instead~ [/he smiles a little more, pressing the side of his face against the otherās back once he got an idea of he was doing and didnāt feel the need to watch anymore, slowly he closed his eyes, listening as the other talked and feeling the slight rumble of the scientistās voice as he kept his face pressed against his back. it was a relaxing feeling to him, he could probably do this for days on end if he was capable of doing so. one of his eyes cracked open as soon as his name was heard within the rest of the talking; a wider smile appearing upon his lips.] Mmhm! I really like waffles! Especially if thereās fruit on them! Then itās really good! Oh! And whipped cream, too! And syrup! Lots and lots of syrup, too! [/the smile quickly turns into a grin as he squeezes the other even more in his hold.] Letās get a waffle iron sometime! [/nuzzles his face against his back, still maintaining his grin before pulling away, peeking over the side to see whatās going on now with the fruit.] ā¦ Aah, yeah! I wanna do it~ [/he chirps, watching as the human turns around slowly in his hold, blinking a few times up at him, not exactly sure what was happening until his eyes widen at the kiss on the tip of his nose, a shy smile tainting his lips as he tries to keep constant eye contact with him after that. it was rather embarrassing for him since he never knew that heād be dealing with someone that would give him affection and especially in such a cute manner such as this, but it didnāt bother him in the slightest; it made him happy and it was apparent as his defects appeared again.] U-umā¦ L-Let me do thisā¦ [/retracts his arms and grabs the pitcher from the otherās grasp, moving back over to the mold and pouring the puree into the molds evenly before looking back over to the human, smiling.] Is th-that good?
(/seeing the shy smile on the other's face, matching his own, he chuckles sheepishly and shakes his head, uncertain why he allowed himself to feel slightly flustered in the robot's presence; his initial reason isn't to keep him as a lover, but the more time he spends with him, the more he wishes to comfort or even reward him using a gentle touch and a variety of loving gestures, from the light petting or ruffling of his hair to, most recently, quick little kisses. it's something he's not used to, as he's never this physically affectionate with anyone, human or robot, and especially not of the male gender, but he feels so drawn to the boy -- because he does view him more as a boy than a robot -- that he can't seem to help himself most of the time) You can do it. (/he encourages, switching their positions so he's the one behind the other now, his hands settling onto his waist as he presses himself against his back, holding the shorter body secure against his chest with his chin propping itself on the robot's shoulder, his eyes following each gesture before he smiles in approval once the molds are successfully filled with the pureed watermelon) Perfect, you did great. Now put the top onto the mold, the part with the little popsicle handles, and we put that in the freezer and it'll be ready in a few hours. (/pressing an innocent kiss to the crook of the android's neck, he squeezes him gently before playfully shifting their positions while pressed together like this, still leaned against his back with a tight hold on his waist as they shift to waddle together towards the freezer before he unwraps one arm and reaches to open it so the other can place the popsicles inside) Would you like a small tour now? Granted you know the kitchen well enough now, so... pretty much all I have to show you is the small living room, the smaller bedroom, and the smallest bathroom. (/stifling a chuckle against the boy's neck, he shakes his head and finally pulls away from his back, reaching for his hand instead while flashing his best charming smile) Want to make sure you feel just as at home here as I do.
Uwahā¦ [/blinks a few times at more of the contact before he starts shaking his head in a rather quick motion, if he were human his brain would probably detach and be rattling ferociously against the inner walls of his head.] I donāt mean to be stubborn! Iām just trying to clarify what my point is. [/again, his lip juts back out, realizing that he should probably keep quiet about this subject since it doesnāt become redundant, that and he doesnāt want to irritate the scientist in any way. while in the kitchen, he continues to look around but remains in one spot, just simply turning his head or turning his whole body to look, heās anxious the look around the entirety of the apartment but of course watermelon was making him bound to this one specific location, and he didnāt mind that in the slightest.] Oh, so you did live in a house prior to this? [/he blinks, realizing that it was probably too much space for the other so thatās why he moved into something much smaller.] Aah! Okay! [/he reaches up into the cupboard right in front of his face, opening it and looking for the popsicle mold before finding it and pulling it out of its place, shutting the door afterward and perking up when the other mentions another fruit, nodding a couple of times.] I like mango~ Of course not as much as watermelon, but I like it, too~ [/his lips turn into a wide grin as he moves over towards the human, watching while he peels the fruit, he sets the mold down next to the sliced fruit before absentmindedly wrapping his arms around the scientistās middle from behind, peeking over his shoulder slightly at what heās doing.] Really? So you can do anything with these mold things, huh? [/he beams, letting his arms tighten around the other, not minding the other as he rambles, since it was nothing compared to himself.] What other molds do you have? Oh! Do you have cake molds? And cupcake molds? And bread molds? And what about waffle molds?! Or is that just a waffle makerā¦? [/he laughs.]
(/hearing the other's defensive tone, he shakes his head, slightly regretting the teasing because he doesn't want to hurt the robot's feelings or make him horribly self conscious) Shh, you're not all that stubborn, I was joking around. I promise, nothing you say has bothered me. I'm quite fond of you. (he speaks sincerely as he reaches over, yet again ruffling the android boy's hair lovingly to try and make him smile once more, before his attention returns to what he's doing, cutting the mango into small slices about the length and width of the popsicle mods' inside) Mmhm, I lived in a house close to home, home as in where my parents live, while I was training to be a scientist. I decided on something smaller and more efficient when I moved out here to begin working. (/feeling arms wrap around his middle, he bites his lip, grinning to himself and letting the other press against his back while he watches him work, enjoying the attention more than he lets on as he's busy with what he's doing) Mmhm, molds make food easier, I suppose. I don't own a regular cake mold but I do have a cupcake mold, it doubles as a muffin tin as well. And, well.. (/blinking at the last question, he starts chuckling quietly, amused) I'm pretty sure that's just a waffle iron. Do you like waffles, Hongki? I can get a waffle iron. (/finishing with the fruit, he starts assembling it all, placing sliced mango in the bottom of each mold before resting a kiwi slice on each side, dropping the blueberries and sliced strawberries in from there until the molds are mostly full. then, he grabs the bowl of watermelon and lifts the lid of his blender, dropping several cubes inside and replacing the top before he begins to puree the fruit, asking the robot curiously) Do you want to pour the puree into the molds? (/turns off the blender and picks up the pitcher portion filled with the pureed watermelon as he twists around slowly so the boy's arms stay around him, smiling down at him before taking advantage of their close proximity by placing a playful kiss to the tip of his nose, laughing shyly after)
I gotcha~ [/flashes a quick smile in the otherās direction, nodding a few times to show heās listening still, not minding when the scientist talks since the sound of his voice is rather relaxing. he shakes his head a few times in disagreement, not liking the idea of being separated, heād much rather stay wherever the other was at, even if it was the quietness of his lab.] No, no! I donāt mind staying in there with you if you are busy and need to be in there overnight. [/his lower lip automatically sticking out after saying those words, shaking his head once again at the otherās words.] Itās not about me being lonely or not having enough attentionā¦ I justā¦ [/lets out a soft sigh.] Iād rather always stay in your presence, thatās all. [/a tiny frown appears on his lips but before it can even manage to stay there on his face, he feels himself get pressed closer along with feeling a pair of lips pressed against his forehead, an automatic smile appearing once again and the stuttering ends with the twitching. he nods a few times before blinking, looking down on his torso to see that he still had the scientistās jacket on, it was just so comfortable that he forget that he even had it on himself, chuckling lightly in reaction. as soon as they move to the door, he waits patiently for the human to open the door for the both of them, letting himself get ushered in before looking around at the living space, his mouth forming an āoā as he wanders around, changing directions suddenly when he realizes he was going the wrong way to the kitchen.] Okay! [/he shuffles over to the kitchen with the bowl, placing it down onto the counter with a quiet clanking noise before looking around the new area.] You call this place small? [/laughs.] It canāt be small if you have a kitchen!
(/hearing this, his expression softens and he chuckles, pressing another kiss to the robot's forehead to try and make him smile once more, nodding to show he understands now) You're very cute, Hongki. I already told you this but apparently it bears repeating, because you insist on getting cuter and cuter all the time. Must you be so stubborn with this? (/his eyes form into crescents with the brightness of his teasing smile, and after gently patting the robot on the head and sending him further into the apartment to enter the kitchen, he trails along behind and chuckles once again at his remark) Alright, you've won that fight, my apartment isn't small. I suppose compared to, say, a real house, it's small. I used to live in a house. (/as he speaks, he approaches the refrigerator and opens it, digging around inside for the fruit he usually buys, tending to eat a healthy amount of fresh foods when he's at home, finally taking out some sliced strawberries along with a carton of blueberries, a kiwi and some mango) Can you get the popsicle mold out of the cupboard you're in front of, please? And pull the blender over here? (/he sets the strawberries aside for now and starts to peel the kiwi so he can slice it, eyeing the other fruit as he does so) Do you like mango, Hongki? (/taking a knife out of the drawer and pushing it closed again with his hip, he neatly slices the kiwi and adds it to the tupperware the strawberry is in, before he grabs the mango next, the act of peeling this much more difficult than the kiwi, so he takes his time with it) I don't think I've made whole fruit popsicles since I was young. I only even own a popsicle mold because I made plain orange juice popsicles the other day. I was having a craving. (/his smile turns sheepish, aware he's rambling a bit while he works with the fruit)
Aah! I see! So thatās why you say that you hardly have a mess at your place, yes? [/he smiles as he puts together the pieces.] But do you plan on staying more at the lab more than here? [/he blinks, curious.] Likeā¦ Do you think that there will be a lot of nights that you might just stay there in the lab instead of come back to your place? [/he wasnāt that he didnāt mind if that was the case, heād just like to be warned ahead of time about staying where at night since heād rather not be alone and would rather stay at the scientistās side.] Really? What kind of general nice smell? There are a lot of things that smell nice but they all are different, but they can be considered a general nice smell~ [/he laughs, making the comment much more complex with his constant questions and add-ons to the original statement. he looks down as the other pulls out a set of keys before looking in the direction of the gesturing.] Uwah! Thatās a nice apartment complex thing! [/he muses, moving past the other into the first door and then over to the elevator, almost skipping while doing so, but trying to keep a firm hold on the bowl that he brought along.] Mmhm! Iām very e-excited! Mainly j-just because I get to sp-spend a lot of time with y-you like this! [/he beams, looking around the elevator, leaning himself once again against the scientist, nuzzling his face into his shoulder to hide the twitching before mumbling.] Since y-you like the cold, i-is it also c-cold in there too like it w-was in the lab?
Yes exactly. I don't own much and I'm not always at home, so there's not really any way for it to get terribly cluttered. Maybe a little dusty at times, but that's easy to clean, and I make sure to tidy up once a week. On Sundays. (/he smiles softly as he explains his usual routine, realizing only then how boring he sounds. all his time at the lab, not seeming to own many things that aren't related to his work, living on a schedule even down to how frequently he cleans up. his smile fades slightly and he purses his lips, though the question from the other makes him blink and tilt his head thoughtfully) Well... there have been nights where I've just stayed in the lab because it was so late it wasn't worth going home, but I promise it won't happen frequently. And if it does, you're welcome to go home or sleep in your personal space in the facility, anything like that. You're not obligated to stay there with me. Why, Hongki? (/he tilts his head the opposite way) Are you worried about getting lonely? Because I'll try my best to give you as much attention as possible. (/his own words make him chuckle, and once he feels the nuzzling against his shoulder he wraps a protective arm around the other, pulling him close to his side as he presses a kiss to his forehead) My apartment can get a little chilly, I'll adjust the heat for you. And you still have my jacket on. (/he grins sheepishly after pointing this out, and when the elevator reaches its destination he leads the way out and retrieves his keys again to unlock the door once they're in front of it, ushering the robot in and stepping inside after) Kitchen is to the left, take the watermelon in there.
Some people do well in confined places and others donāt. But those that donāt like small places usually have a lot of stuff so of course they donāt want to be stuck in a small space with all of that! [/he nods a few times before blinking at being nudged.] Aahā¦ Okay, okay! I was just offering help, thatās all! [/he slightly juts out his lower lip, not realizing that what he said probably made it sound like he had to earn his keep but he just wanted the other to know that he can easily help around.] Yes youāre smart! [/his eyes widen a little when the scientist suddenly starts laughing, not expecting that at all so he canāt help but laugh himself.] Iām sure you have a lot of those moments, though! It canāt be just a time to time kind of thing! [/he smiles, continuing to nestle his face against the otherās shoulder. as for a response to his weird comment, he was kind of relieved that the human didnāt think it was something strange to state out of no where, though he blinked a few times before smiling widely at the otherās actions, making him chuckle quietly among himself, starting to get used to all of the closeness.] I smell good, too? Do I smell like watermelon? [/chuckles a bit louder before peeking up at the other, blinking.] Are we almost there?~
Another truth, Hongki, you do have a very good point once again. I suppose I never minded confined spaces because I don't have a whole lot of belongings. Mostly my equipment which I'll be keeping in the lab, and then small electronics which I have plenty of room for in my apartment. I've yet to ever run out of space. (/he smiles as he speaks, most of his attention on the other's reactions to the fact he had taken a moment to smell him, chuckling softly at the happy noises that the robot was making before nodding at the question) You do smell a little bit like watermelon, actually. But you also just have a general nice smell, I enjoy it. (/grinning, he reaches for his keys and nods again, gesturing to the apartment building ahead that they're quickly approaching together) Mmhm, that's it. (/still leading the way, he unlocks the main door to let them in, ushering the other in first and following behind him before approaching the elevator to take them to the floor his actual apartment is on) Are you excited to stay here with me, Hongki? (/he knows that he hasn't even given a tour of the apartment itself, so there's no way of knowing yet if he'll like his new home, but he can't help but hope that the robot will say yes simply because he's excited to be living with him in general)
But a hotel room is smaller! It usually only comes with one bed but the room can easily fit three people! Two can sleep on the bed and one sleeps on the couch! [/he nods matter-of-factly, almost as if heās some kind of fact wizard with small rooms, though he blinks a few times.] If you wanted a bigger place, I can always stay behind and help tidy up. Even with a small place like that I can imagine it can become messy, too, so I can help with that, too! [/he smiles widely though it falters slightly, along with a slow nod of his head, even if he didnāt like staying in a bland room, as long as the other was in it, then of course he would be fine. he didnāt want to stay away, but it seemed as though his constant presence wasnāt needed. the disappointment of the humanās words lingers for a moment before he pushes it away upon feeling a tightening hold around him, a soft smile quickly taking place on his lips.] Oh! I see! Uwah! Youāre really smart, Jonghunnie! [/he laughs, though obviously impressed by something so simple.] I never knew you could do something like that with watermelonā¦! ā¦ [/he blinks rapidly, becoming even more shy at the kiss on his cheek as this time he hides his face against the otherās shoulder, mumbling softly against it.] Mmhm~ You better promiseā¦~ [/he chuckles quietly, a smile spreading across his face.] ā¦ Did you know that you smell really good? [/laughs.]
(/blinking, he stays quiet as he thinks about this, before nodding his head in agreement now that he's taken this logic into consideration) That's very true, actually. I suppose I didn't think of that. All I know is that others usually complain about small apartments. But I like them! (/clucking his tongue, he blinks at the offer made and shakes his head, nudging the robot gently as he does so) Shh, no. I like my apartment. Provided you like it too, I've no reason to get rid of it. So it can stay and I won't have to get some bigger place that is harder to maintain. If you want to help around this place, though, you're free to. Just don't think you have to be a maid or anything.. (/frowns a bit at the thought, not wanting the other to think he has to work very hard in order to stay with him, as he's more than happy just to have his company, even willing to keep him if he's not suited for working in the lab with him) Mm? I'm smart? (/this causes him to blink again before laughing out loud, not expecting the statement but but finding it endearing) I have my moments, I guess. (/peeking downward, he watches as the other hides against his shoulder, his hold becoming protective almost before the next remark to come takes him by surprise and he starts to grin widely) Oh do I? Well, thank you. (/leaning in, he nestles his face against the robot's neck and nuzzles there before taking in a breath, murmuring softly after) Oh, you smell good too.
