Billy Kid, an absolute lover boy, don’t’cha think?
Oh, how he just adores you. It’s so sweet the way you’re always on his mind! He’ll talk and talk and talk to anyone who’ll listen to him; in the proximity of the rest of the Hares, they simply have no choice but to hear about his ramblings. It’s so obvious how happy you make him. The shrill of his robotic voice is hard to miss, along with the glee in his already animated movements cranked up tenfold to illustrate the bubbling emotions he holds about you. You’re like, just as important to him as the Starlit Knights. Yeah, that’s right - you read that correctly. Anything that reminds him of you he will chirp it aloud without a filter, then lose himself in a sweet little daydream where you are the center of it. The robot is finicky when prepping before you two go on dates; he double and triple checks with Nicole that he looks good for you, that his hair is combed just right, and that the pins on his jacket are shined to catch the light. On his way to every meeting he makes absolutely sure to pick up a little gift for you whether it be flowers, a snack, maybe even a little trinket. Whatever it is, it’s always tailored to your tastes, and if it’s not, you can tell by the messy handwriting on the little notes attached to them that he truly tried his best.
When you hold his hand, it’s like his circuits will simply burst wide open. Your hold on his frame is memorized in his data banks and tucked away for him to daydream about. Missions while with the Hares are conducted with you in mind, insistences with comedic shrill shrieks of “Strike a better deal, Nicole, pleaaaaaase? I gotta date later!” or, and this one happens quite frequently; “I CAN’T GET CORRUPTED BY THE ETHER HERE, I PROMISED THEM WE’D HANG OUT TOGETHER AFTER THIS!”
Billy not only adores you, but he takes avid interest in whatever you tell him, memorizing it much like the lines of his favorite TV shows. He is thoughtful and courteous, a little clumsy and goofy, but his heart is entirely golden with your name engraved permanently into it. Billy doesn’t even think much about that idol Monica anymore when you’re in his life now, because with you in it, there wasn’t even a competition to be had. You make Billy giddy, feet always kicking whenever he’s sitting, patiently waiting for the next time he gets to see you. Anby wondered if perhaps he’d truly been hit with that phrase “lovesick,” while Nicole rolled her eyes and said he’s just being a “Golden Retriever” boyfriend (which only made Anby have to go on a whole new literary adventure.)
In his words, Billy’s simply your number one fan and most dedicated supporter. He’s in your corner without fail, always standing by your side, willing to square himself in the face of whatever disrupted your peace or offer to go on a domestic adventure to take your mind off of things. Billy sits in the palms of your hands, his love so pure and on display at all times for you. All you have to do is flash him a little smile and the cyborg is left a besotted mess, thinking about nothing but you and all that he adores about you.
When things get tough, you know he’ll be right there to lift you back up. The cyborg knows how to make you smile, whether it be by telling the inside jokes you share together or “accidentally” doing something that is downright silly in your eyesight, he’s able to make your face crack that smile he is simply smitten with. If that doesn’t work, you know a side of him that others do not. A certain tenderness, a soft cradle of your being into the cold metal of his own with the strong of his arms, and the stroke of his fingers along your back or shoulders as he hugs you to quell you. Billy knows the art of service to another all too well - not just from his job, but in the way he silently finds ways to comfort you in times that feel unsuited for a light atmosphere. Blankets appear for you, a cup of something warm to drink, or a little tray of your favorite foods arranged into a happy face that inevitably often makes you sputter a laugh.
It’s not just because he makes you laugh that you love him, is it? I know, that. It’s that kindness of him, that generosity that flows freely, that openness to share himself with you so earnestly that made you fall right for him. Billy Kid is one of the sweetest beings you’ve ever met. A ray of sunshine that never fails to make your bright days gleam or your dark days illuminate hope with a silver lining.
How lucky you are.
However, if you asked him? He would say: “ I’m the luckiest one of all! ”
