This Is How You Make Me Feel

"HEY, ANTENNA DICK!" Through the hustling, bustling halls of Hope's Peak, Miu voice cut through the air like a knife. Several heads turned in her direction, some with scandalized expressions while others only smirked knowingly. Typical Miu. The one to whom she was shouting was one of the last students to turn around and face her. It was Kiibo, the Ultimate Robot.

"Oh, good morning, Miu, how are you today?" His voice was soft, gentlemanly, and polite, everything Miu's was not.

"Well I'm just fan-fuckin'-TASTIC! Thank you for asking!" Miu beamed as she suddenly thrust something at Kiibo. "This Gorgeous, Golden, Glorious Girl Genius™ just tried dipping her fingers into the wonderful world of software, and oh BOY did they come back out dripping wet with all sorts of juicy goodness!" As the Ultimate Inventor, Miu's first love was robotics (anything physical, that she could touch and feel, mmm and it felt so good). An almost inextricable second of robotics, though, was programming and coding.

"So, what does it do?" Kiibo was completely curious, innocent, and trusting as he plucked the tiny device from Miu's fingertips.

"Try it on for size and find out!" Miu rested her hands on her hips, face and voice cocky as she pushed her already pushed-up chest up even further. "Let's just say it will... help you learn new bodily configurations, positions, and motions, and you'll get an extra kick of energy, so your poor battery won't drain as fast as it usually does when you get... excited!" It wasn't just the charge Miu was worried about though. When sparks flew, she wanted his "antenna dick" to remain online until they were done. "But don't worry, we can work on all that hardware later," Miu winked.

Kiibo accepted the flash drive with a grateful smile, storing it in a small slot in the side of his body that almost acted as pocket. "Thank you, Miu. I really do appreciate it. It is generous of you to keep me in mind as you work on your projects, and even more so that you give up your time, energy, effort, and resources to build some of those projects for me." It really made him feel included, valued, not just the weird, token robo-kid.

"IKR?! You're god damn LUCKY that this god damn goddess—!" Miu's obnoxious and arrogant laughter died in her throat immediately, like a connection suddenly severed. Kiibo's words finally sunk in. "I- I- I- mean yeah, w-whatever! Just don't go breakin' it, or somethin' like that! I mean, it's no biggie, like, I'm the Ultimate Inventor, or whatever, so I can definitely fix it even if you DO fuck it up..." She was muttering, looking away, eyes shifting left and right, no longer able to meet Kiibo's LEDs. He, meanwhile, only continued to smile at her innocently and serenely.

ooo

School was out, and Miu ran into Kiibo again, this time in digital traffic rather than school traffic.

GGG_Girl_Genius: yo, tin can, Ultimate Academy For Gifted Juveniles is trying to get off the ground and i got invited to speak there at a summer conference, yo metal ass wanna come with?

K1-B0: I would be honored to aid in the development of a new academy. Summer is not too terribly far away, however. Are you nervous?

GGG_Girl_Genius: LOL u kiddin? HELL NAW this is what im MADE FOR!

GGG_Girl_Genius: I aint worried about nothing. except maybe being your roommate LOL!

Kiibo paused before sending his next response to Miu, not even needing to touch his keyboard. Hmmm. Well, that was unusual. It was rare for her to admit any sort of weakness, even if she was just trying to joke and get the point across that nothing tech-related could scare her. Kiibo decided to press her gently for more information.

K1-B0: What are you worried I will do? I fear I may upset you with my affection. I was thinking about that earlier. I know sometimes I wish to thank you for all the things you do for me, but you always seem to become flustered and nervous when I try.
