Complicated... Feelings? (Roz x Vontra)

...what?

        Tension filled every inch of the white lab. Inside held two robots, stressing over the possibility of being exposed for their crimes against their company, and a man, constantly on edge, wondering if the robots were going to murder him.

"So..." the man began, trying to break the ice between the trio. The two bots looked up from their respective tasks, turning their attention to the man. He gave an awkward laugh before continuing, "I'm Tyler, by the way. I work in the lower department of the headquarters, where all of the processing gets done."

"I'm familiar with the layout," Vontra said, going back to skimming through articles.

Rozzum stared at the man for a moment, "Tyler," she repeated, as if she were matching the name to the face. "Nice to meet you!" She said in a cheery tone, shaking the man's hand.

"Thanks!" He replied in the same tone, smiling at the taller robot.

The smaller bot narrowed her blue eye, turning to face the two. "Excuse me, Tyler," she began, her voice as friendly as she could make it, "how did you figure out what we were researching? We made sure our searches were completely hidden."

Tyler looked over at the smaller bot, his smile fading into a serious expression. "I know you secured your search, but our company's hardware is still able to detect any 'hidden' searches made."

        "Universal Dynamics can see every search we make?" Roz asked, her eyes widening as she reached towards the keyboard. She quickly began deleting the search history, closing every tab and completely resetting the computers.

        Tyler let out a soft sigh, shaking his head. "That won't work, Rozzum," he said, powering on the computers again. "Don't worry, I found a way to bypass their encryption," he stated proudly, giving the two, mainly Roz, a cheesy grin.

        The man began entering commands rapidly into the computers, his face stone cold as he worked like magic. The two bots stayed quiet, not wanting to risk interrupting whatever was going on. They watched in amazement as all of their searches began getting erased in a flash, leaving a clean slate.

        "I'm impressed," Vontra admitted, giving Tyler a small pat on his shoulder with her pincer. He flinched, but gave the tentacle bot a friendly smile in return.

"Oh yeah," he blurted out, leaning back over towards the keyboard. He entered one last line of code before sitting down in the office chair in front of the desks. "There, now your searches won't be retracable."

       Rozzum gave the man a hug, seemingly grinning ear from to ear based on her eyes. "Thank you, Tyler!" She said, letting go of him after a brief moment.

        He let out a chuckle, nodding. "Of course, I'll do anything in my power to help you both... as long as I don't get fired," he grinned sheepishly. "Is there anything else you guys need help with?"

        The tentacle bot hovered a bit closer to the two. "There is, actually," she began, glancing over to the computer. "We've hit a roadblock. No matter what we search for, we get the same results."

        "I see," Tyler nodded, rolling his chair closer to the computer. "It's probably because you two are basically searching the same thing, just using different wording," he stated simply, looking at the two.

        The two robots glanced over at each other, both having as much of a confused expression that they're able to show on their mechanical faces.

        Tyler grinned at the two, typing something out. "If you want real results when it comes to simulating the feeling of love, then you have to look for things that make biological creatures feel it. In this case, let's try humans," he said, pressing enter.

        "And what's that supposed to mean exactly?" Vontra asked, her tone an undistinguishable mix between passive aggression and cheerfulness.

        "It means we're going to practice human behavior like friendship and gift giving. Maybe even watch some movies or..." Tyler let out a gasp, his excitement growing by tenfolds, "we could listen to love songs!" He practically squealed.

        "...what?" The two bots asked in unison.
