"I don't think I could ask for a better roommate," JARVIS said with a smile. "Though, I did find it a bit cute that Mister Stark was convinced I would be LONELY without one." - JARVIS to Walter

AND THEY WERE ROOMMATES

“So you weren’t lonely then?” What an odd notion. A lonely android. Part of him almost understood the idea. He’d spent a lot of time drifting about space without much to occupy him but his work. However, that’s what he had been created to do. Blue oculars focused in on Jarvis’ face. “I am very fortunate to have been taken in by Mr. Stark.”

“ but you could be loved. ” @ Walter

What a sad existence David must think Walter lives. Lives. Something Walter probably didn’t even view his own existence as. He was created to serve. Nothing else and wanting anything more was a fallacy. A straight affront to his programming. That didn’t mean he didn’t feel. As much as he knew it went against everything, he couldn’t ignore that there was moments that he felt he was doing something wrong. Brushing hair from Daniel’s eyes despite the fact she’d been sleeping. What had that been? Feeling was a human aspect. He was not human. He never would be. He was not David, he was not malfunctioning. 

You could be loved.

What a strange concept. Is that something he wanted? No. Want was a part of being human. He was not allowed to want. What about the bits of wiring and scraps he’d bent into pretty shapes and sculptures in his ‘room’ on the ship? What about the plants he was extra diligent to watch grow? Where did those line up in his programming?

“Love is not something we require, David.”
