"Your type really can't help themselves from being curious can they?" The Commandant yawned as he stared at the Android who sheepishly scratched the back of his head.

"Sorry, Commandant. Didn't mean to bother you." 9S apologized.

"Sheesh kid, just ask me next time for permission for touching my body." The Commandant sipped his coffee again.

"Can I...?"

"Go right ahead..."

"Yes...!"

Perhaps this was a mistake on my end. The Commandant thought.

"By the way, why don't you bother someone else with your curiosity? I'm not the only human of Babylonia you know?"

"Trust me, you're not the only one I bother!"

"Yeah, I could tell..." He has heard rumors and sayings of a curious Construct who always asks questions and bothers humans. No matter how much authority they may have. To think the Construct was 9S. Well... Thinking back to it now, it should have been obvious. "Curiosity will kill you one day... As they say, 'Curiosity killed the cat.'" He smirked.

"Hehe! Trust me, I will never get killed by my curiosity!"

"For some reason, I can't help but doubt that..." The Commandant shuddered as he can't help but feel a sense of pity toward the Android. "Well then champ, I'll just continue reading." He ruffled the Android by his hair as he smiled. He then went back to reading the newspaper and took another sip of his coffee.

"..." 9S felt his system and body alike shudder. The programming of an Android after all is to see humans as their gods. To devote themselves to them... Being touched sends a wave of euphoric emotions. The feeling of the Commandant's hand was way too nice!

Way too nice...! Gah! Humans really are something! As expected of their great creators!

"Your muscles have loosened up since the last time, it seems like you're learning to take it easy now."

"A certain someone forced me to ease up otherwise she'd tie me down."

"This certain someone sounds like she's just looking over you."

"I know Liv... I know..." The Commandant calmly stated as he continued to rest on the Construct's lap. He felt her hand brush through his hair, he doesn't need to see to realize that she is content with their current activity. "This is the best reward I could ever ask for."

"A good patient deserves a good reward. Although I do wish I can do more... Yet when I asked you that you can ask for anything, I certainly did not expect this."

"Ignorance, Liv. Man but wish to be bestowed with the ultimate gift that has been created, lap pillows."

"You're quite passionate about this Commandant." Liv mused on as she stared at the serious face of the man whose head rests on her lap. Even if his eyes are closed, she can tell that if they were opened, a fiery passionate gaze would bloom from them.
