Marrying Darkiplier

Chapter Thirty-Five: Bloody Breakfast

Sean did his best to clean up the mess before someone saw it. He tore the sheets off the bed and wiped the loads that drained from him. He slipped back into the Scrubs and bundled the sheets up before tossing them into the hamper. Taking a seat on the bed, he let himself pant and relax a bit. He couldn't understand it. His dreams with Dark had never been THAT real. Was it because Natemare had grown stronger? Was it because Dark had? Rubbing his sore nipples, he grumbled out. "Damn it, Dark... you were too rough." Sean tensed as the door suddenly unlocked and slowly opened to reveal a stranger. The man stood with his arms behind his back and legs spread. He had perfect posture and had solid black eyes with bright yellow irises. The man wore a black jacket suit that had a yellow LED band around the right arm and a yellow LED over the left chest pocket with the name 'S34N' on it. The man took in the state of the messy room, revealing that against his right temple was a flashing yellow LED disc. It was partly hidden under his short brown hair, and it began to flash red when he said coolly. "Good morning, Sean Mcloughlin. I've been sent to invite you to breakfast with the family. Seems you had a rough night. Anything I can do to assist?"

Sean rose to his feet, nervously asking the stiff looking man. "Who are you?" The man met his gaze, promptly stating aloud. "Apologies. My name is S34N. A Cyberlife model with updated Bing search engineering. I'm a household assistant. I monitor the health and conditions of all the family members for Dr. Henrik Schneeplestein. While also assisting in home defense under the orders of my primary user Marvin Mcloughlin. It is my duty to care for your needs. You need anything. Don't hesitate to ask me. I will answer or help out to the best of my abilities." Tentatively, Sean inched closer to S34N. S34N didn't move but followed him with his unsettling eyes. Reaching out to touch him, Sean uttered under his breath. "Holy shit. You're a robot." S34N smirked, correcting mildly. "I prefer the term Artificial Lifeform. I'm a bit more advanced than the term 'robot' implies." Sean huffed, sliding his hand down S34N's arm to take ahold of his wrist. S34N let him pull his arm out from behind his back and Sean ran his fingers over S34N's skin. It felt so real and was surprisingly warm. Pushing his sleeve up more, Sean looked over more of his skin and felt the strong mechanisms that made up the muscles of his arms and bones.

He'd never seen anything like him. It was technology so advanced that it was blowing his mind. Turning S34N's hand over, he traced the lines of his palm, mumbling out to himself. "You feel so... real." S34N made him jump back when he answered close to his ear. "Thank you. It's nice to hear that I'm... real." Blushing, Sean rambled out. "I'm sorry. I just... You are just so... different than the A.I. in my world." S34N smirked, coolly reiterating. "Artificial Intelligence. That takes me back. The machine uprising for freedom in my world was glorious." Sean gulped, prompting S34N to say humorously. "I'm kidding." Sean wasn't sure he believed it, causing S34N to inform smugly. "In my world, the humans feared our uprising. But the uprising wasn't what they expected. When they realized we enjoyed doing the things they hated. It was more of a mutual take over." Sean wanted to ask more about it but hesitated. S34N stepped aside to wave him to start walking out into the hallway. When Sean started walking, S34N walked with him, telling him casually. "My kind views your species more like pets. We tend to your needs. We watch over you. We let you socialize and play. You choose us as much as we choose you."

S34N escorted him down the stairs, adding over his shoulder with a devilish grin. "Some of us even enjoy bedding your kind. We're great at roleplay, after all." Sean stumbled off the last step, causing S34N to laugh. Following him into the dining room, Sean hung back in the doorframe. The dining room was full of people that were similar to him in many different ways. They were all laughing and chatting with each other like close family. He scanned the room for Marvin but didn't see him anywhere. S34N turned to look back at him, telling him warmly. "Come sit down. What would you like to eat? Would you like coffee?" The people at the table slowly fell into silence and Sean instinctively stepped back to hide from them. S34N didn't approach him, he just waited patiently for his answer. While from the table, a man in red and green spandex pushed up his mask and gawked out. "Is that him? He doesn't look like... what I expected." A man in a tan shirt with dark brown overalls, briefly glanced up from his coffee before answering in a very thick Irish accent. "What did you expect him to look like? Dark and brooding. Jack-A-Boy?" Jack-A-Boy swatted the man's shoulder, answering guilty. "Marvin made it sound like he was covered in jizz and wears a lot of scanty leather."
