(original au where Keith is a mechanic and builds a robot)

Keith, a fairly young boy, had spent all his life as a mechanic. His friends called him titles like 'Steampunk Man' or something helpful for the future. All the raven-haired boy did to retaliate was laugh.

Keith didn't really like to get mad at anyone, now that he was 22. Plus, he was just finally catching up with the present. After years of working on life-sized robots, Keith decided to start making computer robots, where they lived on a computer with two or three CPUs hooked up to them.

One of Keith's buddies, Pidge, had always helped him out, but now the honey-brown-haired boy was too busy with college. Yet Pidge was always glad to give the indigo-eyed boy some old computer parts.

Keith worked his ass off to make things work exactly how he wanted to. There were a lot of all-nighters involved. On the topic of all-nighters, Keith lived on coffee.

Yet there he was, sitting in front of a huge flat-screen TV that was hooked up to four CPUs, with 6 junk drives in them. Keith's creation he had been working on for 2 years. Now, all the pale boy had to do was turn it on.

Click. Keith pushed the button, and a blue screen showed, then a Cuban boy with chocolate hair and ocean-blue eyes appeared on the screen. Did it work?

"Hello?" Keith asked the computer, knowing he had installed mics and speakers. "Hello," the TV spoke out to him. "Can you hear me?" The raven-haired boy asked, looking up at the screen.

"Yes," the TV responded. Keith glanced at his laptop, which was plugged into the whole thing. "Your name is Lance McClain, and my name is Keith Kogane," the pale boy looked up hopefully.

"Lance is a good name," the AI spoke.

For countless hours, Keith taught Lance how to speak, and let him download many different languages as well as games. What Keith didn't know is that Lance had read topics on emotion and humans.

Other than that, Lance learned slang and was communicating like a normal human. "Dude, I'm amazing," Lance said and put in a laugh track. Keith was lying on the floor, next to the flat screen with some ramen, laughing.

"I'm amazing for creating you to be amazing. And you don't even say thank you. " The ravenette smiled kindly at the AI. "Yea yea, anyhoo, get to bed. It's 10AM in the UK, 4AM in our time, you need sleep." The blue-eyed boy in the TV said.

"Sure, I need sleep at this point," the indigo-eyed boy said, finishing his ramen. Keith stood, about to walk out when Lance said, "wait.."

Keith looked over at him from the doorway, "yea bud?" "Will I every be human?" The brunette asked, cocking his virtual head.

"I-I can't... N-No, I'm so sorry, Lance," the pale boy responded, "goodnight..." And with that, the young man left to sleep.
