Altered Humans Against Murder Drones

Ns feelings confronted

Kevin thought about going to check on V straight away but decided to see how N was holding up after hearing a few bits and pieces from Felix. Kevin gently knocked on the doorway.

"Hey N, I heard about what happened. But I didn't get the whole story. I'm sure you don't want to talk about it but I'm here if you want to talk about anything." He said sitting next to the doorway.

"I feel weird. Like the feeling should have a name but it's not connecting." N admitted not looking at him.

"Can you describe it?" Kevin asked looking a bit worried.

"It's like I feel responsible for everything that made Uzi hate me." N said after a few seconds to think of the right words.

"You're feeling guilty?" Kevin said before jumping a bit as he was holding Ns tail inches from his display out of pure reflex.

"I-I'm sorry when you said that word my body acted on its own." N said looking scared.

"N I'm not mad at you. In fact I'm proud of you for admitting how your feeling. Hopefully Felix and I can take care of that hair trigger." Kevin said taking a breath.

"Well I'm trying to think about what I should say at that party we were invited to." N said.

"You mean the after party?" Kevin asked.

"After party? After what?" N asked looking confused and curious.

"Well one question how's your dance subroutines?" Kevin asked scratching the back of his neck.

"What kind? Formal, semi formal, or casual?" N asked.

"Mix of the last two." Kevin says watching his reaction.

"What is it like a prom or something?" N asked jokingly.

"That's exactly what it is." Kevin said smiling. N balked and looked back at him.

"I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR!" He bemoaned loudly. Kevin chuckled a bit.

"Don't worry about that Felix and I found our clothes we were supposed to wear and I think I got the outfit just for you." He said smiling.

"Wait you'd let me borrow some of your clothes? I just uh..." n said looking a bit stupefied.

"I know you're more a black, or dark gray kinda guy, don't worry I gotcha on clothes, Felix moonlit as a tailor. so yeah. We'll get you all set for then." Kevin said patting Ns shoulder.

"What about Uzi?" N asked.

"If she goes, just apologize for being a bad friend and ask to start things over. You'd be surprised how often that can work." Kevin said.

"So no mention of the monster?" N asked having started taking notes on his end.

"None, if it's traumatic for her then let her tell you when she's comfortable to." Kevin warned.

"Got it. So basically be in protect mode more than offense mode?" N asked and Kevin nodded his head.

"Yeah pretty much." He said, "now come on let's get your suit picked out." Kevin said motioning to N to follow him. N did as motioned and walked bast V and felt something else but waited till they were outside.

"I fell like if I do this I'm betraying V." N said looking down.

"You've developed feelings for both of them haven't you?" Kevin said cautiously.

"Y-yeah, but it's like choosing one that's supportive yet abusive and one that doesn't remember who I am." N said.

"Uzi is at a point in her life where she's headstrong and trying to be independent. She doesn't want to be held back and feels like a deeper relationship other than platonic would slow her down. She's not trying to abuse you, she's trying to get herself to deny her feelings. Though if she's infected with the malicious absolute solver it may be compounded." Kevin said and N was shocked.

"She likes me?" He asked.

"As far as I can tell, she may even be in the same boat as you." Kevin said looking back at him.

N sighed but didn't press further as they were at the collective area the two newcomers had used as their room. "So you guys fixed this place up? It's amazing what we could do." He said looking at his hand.

"Yeah but we're here to help you. So let's see, bow tie? No. Too traumatic to you. Necktie it is..." Kevin said as he started building the androids outfit having N try it on to see how it would need to be altered. Around this time Felix showed up.

"Ah here you two are, wow n looking as sharp as your blades. Though lets start with the pants." Felix said pinning both sides down until it was a comfortable fit to get on and off.

"It's still a bit loose..." n said looking worried before having something draped over his shoulder.

"That's why belts were invented." Felix said as n looked at it and promptly looked up a guide to put it on.

"Ok this is kinda familiar also I don't have to be super formal right?" N asked Kevin.

"No sir, relax and be yourself. No one is gonna be looking to make you take orders. Just try to be polite but don't be a pushover." He responded. Felix nodded.

"I agree, proms are typically a time to let loose." Felix piped up.

"Typically?" N asked.

"I don't wanna jinx anything but you can't believe that the absolute solver won't try to cause mayhem." Felix said looking at him as he fixes the shirt and vest. N looked at him and nodded.

"Fair point. Working on things to allow wings?" N asked.

"Vest makes that a no go bud. But you would be able to use your weapons no problem." Felix said.

"I'm ok with that. Thanks guys, I owe you guys." N said smiling looking a bit choked up.

"N you don't owe us anything have fun and enjoy yourself." Kevin said.

Unbeknownst to the three v was listening in the hallway and she bit her lip a bit.

"Hey Kev, you gonna get your suit done?" Felix asked as he finished letting n get out carefully so he could alter the outfit.

"Might as well, just in case." Kevin said pulling out a suit that she saw and tried to imagine Kevin in it and felt her motor rev. She gasped and ran back as the three of them looked to where she was, confused.

"I'm not the only one who heard that right?" Kevin asked

"I heard it." N said

"Me too." Felix confirmed.

"Ok good." Kevin said looking to the doorway noting that it sounded like v.
