(Ophelia's POV)
I land my car back into the garage. We are in an awkward silence as we walk into my home and he stays a yard behind me. Robot slaves were designed to stand a yard away from their owners, it made me uncomfortable but I didn't speak on it. He followed me up the stairs we paused because I stopped then moved then stopped then moved. He stayed exactly a yard away, never too far and never too close.
"You're glitching again." I tell him.
"I am acting as my coding tells me to."
"Well that's a glitch to me so fix it." I throw a smile his way and go to the guest bedroom. I open the door. He comes up behind me, less than a yard away. I smile my worry away.
"You can decorate your room anyway you like. I'll help and buy whatever, make a list on this." I give him a note pad and a pencil. I pat his back and go into my room, which is literally right next to his. I grab the key and run down stairs and slip on my shoes once more. I look up to a creak of the wooden floor. I see Seth staring down at me with a sad and disbelieving look on his face.
"Seth, is something wrong?" I ask as I straighten myself after fixing the back of my black converse.
"Are you abandoning me?" His voice gives a small glitch then fixes itself quickly. I stare up at him.
"No, I'm actually going to the shed outside to grab a few things for your room. Stay here and make your list while I'm gone." I smile reassuringly as him but as I close the door behind me I hear him yell my name and I pause and look at him.
"Be safe, Master." He smirked. I laughed and shook my head.
"Oh stop you! I'll be back!" I close the door and journey to the shed behind my house. I open the steel jaw like sliding doors and turn on the light inside with a clap of my hands. I walk in and look for what I need and put them in a bag. I smile to myself with the useful things I find.
"Time to go full on Aesthetics!" I smiled and ran back into the house after turning off the light and closing the metal doors. I run back inside to see Seth sitting in front of the door, I almost trip on him but I stop in Time and take off my shoes as he watches.
"What is in the bag?" He asks.
"Things from the shed, of course! Stay down here for a moment! I have a few things to decorate your room..." I smirk at him and run past him excitedly. I fly up the stairs and enter his empty room. It was wall to wall with a yellow flowered wallpaper with white edges at the bottom. Inside it had wooden floors and a sky painted blue ceiling. It only had a one person sized bed and a desk with a lamp and chair on it, it also had a walk in closet and bathroom. I close the door and start getting to work.
After I'm done I call in Seth. He comes up and into the room and looks around with emotionless eyes. I smile at him as I wait for his reaction. He walks past me and into the room as he looks around. I turn off the lights then and his eyes widen at the beautiful sight of everything!
I hung up faint glowing blue Christmas lights around the room along the edges. It gave the room a calm and cozy look. It was great work to me. I smiled and went over to the desk to add the last part. A framed picture of me with Monic, we were in my car jamming and suddenly our friend who sat in the back took a picture of us. He caught the sun setting in the background as I sat in the drivers seat and Monic in the passenger seat. We had scrunched up noses and dimples showing as we cackled in the photo. The frame was simple white with our names on the top above our heads.
"How do you like it, Seth?" I ask and turn to see him staring at me, he was so close. My heart beats rapidly and I'm suddenly finding it hard to breathe. He smiled and scoffs.
"I love it. Thank you, Ophelia." He smiled. He really smiled. I smiled too, overwhelmed with a proud feeling. Maybe having Seth around wouldn't be so bad. I will not treat him as a slave of course, unless I have to...
"You have such a nice smile, Seth. You should smile more often!" I complimented him openly. He made me very comfortable, I hadn't once thought about how ugly I look in the span of time he has been living with me! It felt nice for my insecurities to fade away with him just being around.
"Maybe I will." He smiled playfully and I grinned with a giggle.
"Now, are you done with that list?" I asked pointing at the notepad he had dropped on his bed. He picked it up and handed it to me. I read it:
Clothes
Then there was a tiny drawing on the bottom of me, it said my name so I knew it was me and it looked like it came out of a printer but I could tell that was just a robot's art style. I smiled at the picture and looked up at him.
"Clothes? Is that all you need?" I asked.
"Oh and Chocolate. Chocolate is delicious." He states seriously but I ended up laughing hecka hard which made him confused and angry so he called me Master and then I got mad as he snickered and we were just all a bunch of jerks before we went to bed. I had to tuck him in, tightly or else he would get up and follow me to my room. I finally got him to stay in bed, but before I left he called my name.
"Ophelia wait! I want you to sleep with me in my new room" he suggested. I shook my head and blushed slightly.
"N-no thanks, Seth! I like to sleep in my own bed!" I laughed nervously then closed the door softly behind me as I went into my room and crawled into bed. I didn't care to change my clothes because I was so tired.
The door freaking opened. I watched as Seth came in and slid in next to me, I sighed and scooted over for him to get in. He pulled me to his chest and I laid there, helpless to protest.
"Goodnight, Ophelia." He smoothed down my hair with his hand. I smiled and hummed in response then thought it was rude and really replied.
"Goodnight, Seth. You're the coolest robot ever." I mumble and sleep peacefully against his warm body. Even for a robot of metal and wires, his skin underneath gave off a warmth unlike any other...
And I loved it.
