I literally had nothing when we moved to Hector. No clothes, not a single penny.. only my companion which was more than enough. I didn't even want to bring anything from my family.. I wanted to leave everything in the past. Miles was like a curious child, walking and looking around. I'm sure he has never been in his creator's home before.
I just sat down and looked at my arms. They were now bandaged but it was like two hours when they were still painted red and I couldn't care less about anything. It only changes slightly. I had a little peace for now. I wanted to give these men a chance and see what the future brings.
"Do you want me to return to your home and take your belongings? Just make a list and I..."
"It's ok , I don't want anything..I'll get my money from the bank before my dad takes action"
And I was sure he would soon. They made it clear that they won't accept me and if I don't go back with them then they won't support me anymore. And I didn't care. I was tired of my life and all the negative shits going on in it. 
"Are you alright? Do you want to talk about it?"
Before I noticed,  Hector was sitting on my other side. Any other day I'd feel shy with these men by my sides . Now I was just comfortable.. I  wanted to take Miles' hand , but he gave me a nod, signing to rely on Hector instead.
"Will.. I'm a third wheel, I hate to come up with it now when you...I mean after what happened. So, please let me *sleep*.  Hector will take care of you. I tried my best but failed. And even if I didn't, I like you but you heard him.  You two should talk about it. You deserve better than being only liked"
He was right but it doesn't change that it still hurts. You could ask why it matters when they even look alike. I don't know either.  I looked at Miles then Hector. I would pick a humanoid over a human..would I ? Am I that stupid? When I could be loved? I still had no idea if he meant it anyway and it's not like Hector is the one I chose.. I've never been in love before, it's like God was mocking me and allowing me to love someone who won't love me back.
"It's alright, I'll be back anyway. Whenever you need me"
Who can say no to this man? He pressed a kiss on my head. Miles always wanted the best for me and I thought he was the best..
"Thank you..I really love you. I'm sorry for the troubles I'm giving you.."
Hector gave us a minute before turning Miles off for the rest that he needed. I mean not literally but you understand.
"There. Just say it and he's back from his sleep"
"It's fine.. I know he doesn't need to rest but I can't imagine the stress that comes with me"
"Will, firstly you're not problematic, you have problems it's not the same. And he doesn't feel stress"
"Still.. I feel bad for him. I love him and I hate that I.."
There we go. Always me, me and me . What if he really had feelings for me?  Now I had a chance to ask him. Well...I tried, in my head. But I was so scared that he was just kidding and didn't  mean. I can't take that.. I already felt bad about my life and my feelings. I decided to sit silently like a fucking ass I am.
"I will take you to the bank tomorrow. Let me know if I can help with anything. Like I said, you can stay as long as you want. I'll turn Miles on , so you won't feel lonely"
"Can't you...like...take a day off? I love Miles but..he needs a day off of me too.. And maybe a human company would be nice"
He frowned then looked away from me. I knew. I shouldn't have asked . I'm not his priority. I'm no one's priority. He did enough for me already and I keep being greedy.
"I'm..sorry. I'll be okay with Miles. Thank you for helping me .."
"No, it's okay I don't mind taking a day off. Or even more if you need me here . You'd do good for my workaholism ."
"Sure? I didn't mean to ask a lot"
"You're not asking for anything. I offered my help"
"Yeah..? You looked unamused when I asked you to take a day off"
He did it again. Frowned .  Say that I'm being a total asshole!
"It's not what you asked for. It's what you said before"
Well, fuck me if I remember what I said. I felt confused as hell. My damn arms were hurting and itching but I wasn't allowed to touch them.
"Guess you don't remember. Let me quote you; "Can't you like take a day off? I love Miles but.." Understand it now? "
No, not really. I didn't understand. Yes I'm dumb..
"Will. I can see that you're still confused.  I'm hurt. I know you can't help it. Don't mind me"
I was speechless. He was jealous. Does it mean that he...
"You weren't kidding in the hospital?"
"You overheard me. I was sure you thought I was messing around to get on your parents' last nerves. I'm not that petty. What I said, I meant it. Everything actually. You needed them and they chose to be absent. All your life . I owe you an apology because first I thought you were just being a bit dramatic like most of the spoiled rich kids. I'm sorry. You needed them and they gave you a humanoid, knowing that he can't give you affection either"
The facts hurt more. My parents replaced themselves with a *robot* while they were even worse. Humans , incapable of love their own child.
"Come. I don't like to see you sad. Didn't you work hard to change for them and for yourself? Don't throw it away , and don't throw your life away either "
He got up and offered his hand. I looked at Miles as if I was asking for permission. Not like we were a couple. I took Hector's hand and carefully got up. My heart began to beat madly. He was the first human who stood up for me. I came to realize..he isn't a bad person after all. Besides, someone , working on these humanoids to help out problematic people, can't be a bad person.. I had to admit that finally.
