SFW

My life has never been the most exciting if I'm being honest with myself. Same boring pattern every day that I thought I would never be free from. That's when at my lowest, I got a new job that completely transformed my life. I became a robotic handler for one of the animatronics at the well-renowned pizza plex in my town! Every day from then on was so much fun and while it was odd at first, I found myself becoming friends with all the animatronics. To me, they weren't just hunks of metal and wiring but very real people that deserved all the respect. Putting them aside though, there is one animatronic that I got closest to due to me being her handler.

Roxanne Wolf-

She grew on me quite fast and once I was able to break down her walls, me and her started to really get along. We always talk and laugh throughout my shifts and we constantly will be racing each other with the go-karts. I've still yet to beat her but I won't give up, partly because I do want to beat her but mostly because I just enjoy doing things with her.

The truth is, I have more feelings for her than just the 'friend' ones. I want to hug her and kiss her and be able to call her mine but I know it's likely not possible. She's an animatronic and I'm just a human. The world would never approve and that's only if she likes me too...

Although if she likes me too....I'd just say screw the world!

"Whatcha doing standing around Lily?" A voice that could only belong to the target of my thoughts says. Spinning around, I come to face to face with Roxy, who was veeeeery close for some reason. Said closeness and my prior thoughts has my cheeks slightly burning as I turn away, hoping she didn't see.

"Eh? Are you not feeling well?" She follows up with, obviously catching my red face and mistaking it for something else.

*Press*

I feel like my heart almost stops for a moment as Roxy suddenly puts the back of her hand on my forehead. Her hand has the expected coolness of metal but also feels warm from deep within...a very comforting sensation.

"You feel a little warm Lily," Roxy frets while moving her hand to my back. "I'll take you to my green room to lay down!" she continues before beginning to guide me by my back, the prolonged contact only causing my blush to worsen. We continue through the pizzaplex, her hand never leaving my back the whole way. I'm aware of all the confused looks by customers and even a few knowing ones by coworkers as we walk but I just try and ignore it. Finally, we make it to her green room where she leads me over to her couch and sits me down. I can feel that my face is on fire but I can't make it go down since Roxy is still touching me. Her hand on my back had retreated but now we are sitting practically leg to leg on the couch.

I look over at her briefly to see she's closely studying my face.

"Your looking more red Lily and *press* you feel quite warm. I really think you should lay down," Roxy observes, looking at me with her big eyes that currently express worry.

"O-Ok..." I mumble before twisting this way and that to figure out how I'm gonna lay down.

"Over here silly, I'm not going anywhere," Roxy says, getting me to turn to her in shock.

*pat* *pat* *pat*

'No way, is she...'

Embarrassed beyond all belief but not willing to give this chance up, I gulp slightly before lowering my head and body down. The moment I feel my head make contact and my body relax, I can't help the relaxed sigh that escapes my mouth. It's just so comfortable that I even lose track of my embarrassment for the time being.

Then, I feel her hand begin to make slow gentle circles on my head. I practically melt into her at the feeling since god damn did I love head rubs.

It's even better when it's from someone I like....

"How are you feeling Lily?" She questions softly while beginning to run her fingers through my hair one at a time. I feel my heart flutter once again at the her concern and gentle touching and decide in the moment that I need to say something to her now. I need to tell her how I feel about her....

"I-I'm okay Roxy- um... I'm actually not sick or unwell at all," I tell her, looking up to see her face tilt in confusion.

"Then why were you all warm and red?"

*Gulp*

'Here it goes...'

"Because of you Roxy," I state, doing my best to look her in the eyes but finding it hard due to how much I'm blushing.

"I don't understand?" She states, although the slight shifting of her tail tells me she does and just wants me to finish.

"I mean um- I like you Roxy... a lot. I got all red and warm because I'm shy when you touch me. I really like being around you and have had feelings for you for a while. I just like you so much and want you more than anything and-" I cut myself off, realizing how much I was saying. "Sorry, I was rambling..."

"Lily..."I hear her softly whisper before our bodies shift and I find myself being held in her arms. The warmth and comfort I feel from her makes me relax into her hold, hoping for nothing more than for her to return my feelings.

"I like you too Lily"

And just like that, my hopes were answered in a flash. A wide, joyous smile plasters across my face as I begin hugging Roxy back, now with more meaning. Our embrace goes for a few minutes or maybe longer, before we part but don't fully separate. Looking up into her eyes, I decide to just go for it.

"Can I kiss you?" I shyly ask, blushing bright red and hoping this isn't asking too much. Much to my surprise, Roxy's cheeks also redden ever so slightly before she answers, "You may."

I watch as she closes her eyes before I do the same. For a moment I can only hear my heart beating in my chest and the loud thoughts in my mind.

Then, as our lips met, everything was okay again
