I've been thinking about the whole "Hipswitch doesn't believe he can be loved" thing lately and wondered what motivated that thought...
Is it the disrespect in regards to his kind? How society doesn't view Obscurans as equals, simply seeing them as machines pretending to be humans trying to mimic and fit in, pieces of scrap meant to discard after they're deemed useless.
Maybe so many of Hipswitch's kind has never once known what is love, the most pure essence of it. Maybe they don't know what it's like to be held in a hug where none wants to let go, to have someone who gets worried when you leave, who kisses you good morning and good night.
Someone who cares and stays with you till the very end. Who wants to vouch to stay forever with them, with a ring wrapped around their fingers.
How many Obscurans doesn't get this privilege? Just because their not equals, they'll never be humans.
But imagine how he'd react once he finally realizes that the human he mentors feels that way towards him.
Those tiny details...weren't just any details. It was signs.
And Hipswitch failed to see them because he didn't believe he was worthy of such a miraculous, truthful and fragile feeling.
But...he did realize he felt the same.
But Karmor was so extraordinary, so unique. He didn't deserve to have someone like him as a partner, he deserved someone better, someone cleaner, with no blood in their hands. He couldn't possibly pursue the boy into loving him, could he?
Because who would ever love an inorganic being such as himself? With a dirty past?
He would. But Hipswitch didn't know that.
