3rd person POV
(Boring backstory I know y'all just want Semi but he will be introduced next chapter, there are a couple nods to him here tho.)
⚠️ TW: GUNS ⚠️

There was a rush among everyone at this lab. It's where our protagonist is born, well, he was made.

"How is it?!"

"Is it breathing?!"

"Have you brung it to life?"

This 'thing' that everyone was talking about was a project they had been working on for ages. They called it 'Project Shirabu'. Their project was to have an Android with human insides, and a human personality. It was supposed to grow and age like a human too and be like a person, and it was close to being done.

As he was being plugged in, a woman sat in her chair, scared. They had to use some of her life force to create this thing, that could become her son.

"Is he ready?"

"Nearly. It's showing signs of waking."

Little twitches came from the thing, that was on a table. It looked like a baby boy from afar, but it was connected to a few things. A small cry was heard from it, and a few noises came from the machine it was tied to. The baby android thing looked exactly like a human, no metal, nothing. It was unplugged from the machine and picked up by one of the guys in charge.

"We did it. Project Shirabu is complete!" There was joy, and the baby was given to the woman.

"You are so cute! I'm going to call you...Kenjirou!"

And with that, Kenjirou Shirabu was brought into the world.

To get things over with, cause nothing really happened during his childhood, he lived in the lab for most of it, and he was treated like a person. He was curious, but he shut a lot of the people there out, after what happened to his mother.

A chemical explosion killed her, leaving Shirabu and his dad. They kept him around the lab and he spent a lot of time just helping out and preparing food when he was old enough. Now he was 16, and was bored out of his mind, cause he had started to find this whole helping people in the lab thing boring and he knew every inch of his home basically.

Shirabu POV

Am I bored? Very much, i was counting seconds, minutes, whatever I could do I would. The ticking of the clock in my room left me slightly annoyed. Well I couldn't feel it, I just knew. I didn't want to go into the lab cause I'll end up being useless and come back here.

'Why is my life so boring?' I constantly asked myself that. Boredom was the only thing I could feel, and it was killing me.

I stuck my hand up into the air and looked at the bandages wrapped tightly around my fingers. I got into an accident with the Bunsen burner when I was younger and had to have my fingers taped up like this to protect them.

Well I knew one thing that could be exiting, and that is the new member joining. Apparently she had a son around my age and I could possibly meet him. I don't know much about people my age, cause I was never aloud to hang around them. In fact, I couldn't hang out with anyone who was outside this place.

"Hey Kenjirou? Satori needs help in the special room again, can you go help him out?" My father called through. I guess that's one thing to cure my boredom.

Satori, or Tendou as I call him, is a boy who's a year older than me, but a little weird. When we hang out he just talks about the most random things ever. I got down off my bed and made my way down to the special room.

Usually I find Tendou in that room messing around with everything there. It's where they keep the guns and knives and all the very dangerous stuff. They called it the special room because of that very reason.

"Hey Kenjirou! Your father send you down here to help me?" He sounded a little less obnoxious than usual.

"Yes Tendou, but what is it this time, you can't find bullets?" Finding bullets was stupid honestly and made me even more bored.

"My my, you sure are quick. Some jerk broke a bullet in half and then got it jammed inside this pistol."

"What kinda asshole could break a bullet? Give me that, this will be unjammed in no time." For some reason I am quite handy when it came to this kind of stuff. I forced the barrel open and saw that this bullet was fully cut in half, horizontally too so that made it even more annoying.

I got it out sooner or later while Tendou cleaned up. "So you heard about the new woman coming?" He was trying to make light conversation, so I went along with it. "Yeah, apparently she's got a son coming with her." Tendou raised and eyebrow and my eyes met his.

"Hmm, She does. He's a nice boy, the same age as me." So he'd already met Tendou. I turned to leave when my dad popped his head through the door. "Hey boys. Satori, Wakatoshi is here, and Kenjirou, it's supper time for you."

I dragged my feet on the way there. I didn't really like when it was just him and I. He served my plate, which was his crappy rice balls.

"Dad, we've had this for 4 nights in a row. Can we have something different?"

"Sure Kenjirou, when you learn to not be bored all the time."

"Dad, that's literally all I can feel." He laughed. I know that I was becoming annoyed, though it mixed with the boredom. He cracked jokes like this often, and they really weren't funny.

"I sense annoyance, so you're getting somewhere though." I ate my supper in silence and went back to my room. Bored out of my mind, I just fell asleep. Sometimes i wish I could feel more than this.

A/n: yeah boiiiiiii, also a lot of these chapters will be in 3rd person, I just wanted to show what Shirabu is like.
