Android x reader- personal annoyance
[your new best friend forever!!….perhaps even more👀]
All reader wanted was a simple blender. Was that too much to ask for? Apparently so, because there was currently an android standing in the middle of the kitchen instead of said blender!
The android stared at them with curiosity,blinking occasionally. His body a sleek black metal with a pink trim.
"Hello there!" He struck a pose then waved "What can I do for you?"
“What the hell…are you?” Reader asked eye twitching
"I'm an android!" He said with a cute cheerful smile.”Your android in fact!” They pointed at reader "A pleasure to meet you.. uhm..." he paused "I don't know your name"
“Reader”
"What a unique name!" He said with a grin and tilted his head a bit. "Are you the owner of this house?" He said as he began to walk around the kitchen
“Yea I am now do you mind explaining to me-“ the android goes around and starts touching various things “please stop that!”
The android stopped touching everything and put his arms behind his back. "Oh sorry. I can't help it. It's the first thing on the diagnostic list"
“The what?” Reader was already getting annoyed with all of this.
"Diagnostics. When you first boot up me you're supposed to give me a list of tasks to complete" he said "My last owner gave me a list that had the following: Walk around, touch and analyze everything in the surrounding area"
He paused and looked around the room."So what's left for me to touch?"
“Who the hell was your owner? Why do they need you to touch shit?!”
"Touching objects is the best way to analyze them!" He said cheerfully "If I can touch it I can figure out what exactly it is. Like for example " he grabbed a spoon that was on the counter " I know this is a spoon"
He put the spoon back down and grabbed a knife " and that's a knife" he touched the toaster " and that's a toaster"
"See? I can figure it out by touching it" he said proudly
Reader looked at him with a raised eyebrow “are you defective?”
"W-what?! no!" He said waving his arms around trying to deny the accusation. "I'm just performing a standard diagnostic run, I’m completely fine!"
Reader put their hands on their hips, “You just said you could tell a spoon was a spoon because you touched it, could you not just look at it?”
He tilted his head again "Well... yes... yes I can" He paused for a second. He seemed to have just realized that he did something unnecessary.
"But what if an object looks like a spoon but it's actually a fork? I could be deceived!" He tried to explain but it just made him look even dumber.
“Ok if you’re not defective why are you here, we’re is your ‘owner’ “ they made air quotes
"Well I-" he said looking around and scratching the back of his head.
"I have no idea why I'm here. All I know is my old owner shut me off and then boxed me up and-“ his eyes dulled
He shook his head and looked up at Reader again"Actually... no... I'm not supposed to talk about that part" he put a hand over his mouth "But you're my owner now, so just focus on that! Do you have any tasks for me?"
“No no no, I’m not your owner all I want is a blender”
"You're not?" he said, confused with a tinge of disappointment in his voice "But my box was sent to this address... you're the person that opened it.." he scratched his head again.
"Why do you need a blender?"
“That’s none of your business, and your package come to my door by coincidence, just get back in the box and I’ll take you to a nice robotic store” reader picked the box up
"Wait what- no!" He backed up, not wanting to go back in the box.
"But I just got out!" He said "I can't just go back in... besides, I don't want to go back to a store...please...don't make me..."
“Stop doing that, I know you don’t have emotions, you can’t feel fear” reader grabbed the box
He took offense at that last part "I do have emotions! In fact, I have 19 different emotions settings!" He yelled
“The key word in that sentence is settings” reader stepped forward
He backed down again. He was trying not to look scared but failed "I...! S-so what if their settings!? I'm still a sentient being! I still have feelings!"
As he takes a step back he trips over and falls effectively turning himself off in the process.
The android hit the ground with a clang as he immediately shut down. He stayed limp on the ground, completely still.
Reader sighed and began making room in the box to put him in
The android was limp as they put him back in the box. Despite being off it still felt weird to just treat him like an object.
Before they could seal him off however a small letter slipped out of the box,they picked it up to read it
‘This unit is a failed project. It was designed as a substitute for human life but despite multiple attempts by our finest engineers and multiple bug fixes we were unable to fix the following issues
•Inability to complete tasks
•Inappropriate attachment to owners
•Unstable emotions that should not exist
Due to said issue and the inability of repair, they have been sent to be scrapped. Please do so immediately, making sure to destroy the intelligence chip in the process.’
“Human life…” With a sigh Reader sealed the top of the box back on and sat the box in a corner.
With the letter and the androids behavior, it's definitely clear that something was wrong with him. The question is now what does Reader do with him?
“Scraps huh” they looked at the box one last time with a grumble
They finally rebooted sitting straight up, they were on a bed? A very soft bed at that, sure it was a little dirty and the cover didn’t match the pillow cases but it was still something.
Then they realized they were actually wearing clothes, it might have been a shirt that was a few sizes too big and the pants didn’t really stay on but it was a nice gesture as well.
He heard the sound of keys clacking away
Reader sat at their computer desk typing something out, they looked back at the android “oh your awake- or on?”
The android looked down at his new clothes and rubbed the fabric in between his fingers. “Why am I still…here”
“Call it a change of heart” they took off their headphones.
The android's face lit up at those words "Wait really? You're not going to.. you know... get rid of me!?"
“As much as I want to, no” they shrugged
A huge grin appeared on his face
"Thank you! Thank you so so much!"
He jumped off the bed to hug them from behind. “I promise I won't cause you any trouble"
“Yeah you better not, it’s not too late to trade you in for a blende you know” reader rolled their eyes
The android's face went completely white, a mix of fear and shock.
"N-No! No please don't! I'll behave! I promise! I won't touch anything, I won't even leave the room! You won't even know I'm here"
“Jeez, ever heard of a joke?” They covered their ears
The android's face went red in embarrassment, as in their front screen literally turned red. “Oh.. right a.. a joke.." he said with a nervous laugh "I knew that...”
