anonymous text; open to everyone

my robotic angel of the east

i had planned to write a very long and passionate letter detailing my ardor for you, but all words are insufficient to encompass all that i have felt for you in this very short time

to everyone else you are only drift, a robot without a home and with a mysterious past and a mysterious smile and a mysterious ... (i'll fill this in with something else later, maybe that crest?)

but to me, you are everything. you are the light of every star that i see reflected in your hull, and every time i see you i long to tell you everything, but the thought of being rejected is unbearable to me. so i make excuses to see you often, and hope that you will take that first step, instead.

please, i beg you, don't reject me because of my organic state. don't turn away from me in my hour of emotional need. i want you more than i have ever wanted any other being, organic or otherwise, and i could not bear if you didn't at least entertain the possibility of making me yours, and you mine.

in this brave new world so in need of terraforming, drift, you have terraformed my everything.

forever yours,
V.

In this case, if Vandal is genuinely interested in you I would allow her to come to you directly, not through some public note of dubious origin. Wait until them before performing any... romantic gestures.

...you're right. I just don't want her to, you know, feel, uh, bad.

It's a bad feeling.

[Wow he should shut up. Talking about relationships with you is...really beyond awkward.]

Just. Talk to Vandal. Preferably in a private setting.

I am.

Trying to. [A look of vague terror.] I'm--you know I'm not good at this.

I'm sure you'll do fine, Drift.

[Well that's one of us.]

Perceptor.[Wait. You're not likely to be terribly helpful, either.]

It's just...she's nice, Perceptor. She deserves to be happy.

She does, but that doesn't necessarily mean you need to be together to make her happy. You can make her happy through friendship alone.

Remember that.

....

I hope so.

[It doesn't seem all that successful with you.]

I'm sure you'll figure something out, Drift. You're a smart mech.

I'll try.

It seems you might have better luck, though.

She seems to get along well with you. A lot.

Good.

She needs friends.

You, too

I- [ don't need friends? Don't deserve them? ]

Yes.

[And their usual conundrum, Perceptor shutting down conversation again, those hurt, brusque monosyllables. ]

I hope you... [He looks away, just in case, to mask the emotion on his face] count me as one.

You are my friend, Drift. [ That, at least, he can say with conviction. ]

I'm sorry I'm so... [ Awkward? ] Difficult.

[personal profile] sword_redemption 2012-08-13 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
thank you. [It's good enough. Not really, but he'll take it. As a start, he hopes.]


No. No. It's not you. It's...everything. Everything's difficult.

Not too difficult, I hope. With a little work... [ Maybe they can get somewhere. ]

It doesn't matter how difficult. [He gives what he hopes is an almost-chivalrous nod.] It's worth it.
