Dr. Cossack pressed a few buttons in a very specific order, and Tundra Man's eyes began to flutter open.
"Boy," Snake Man fizzed. "You've had much experience with things of this ssssssssort, yesssssssss?"
"Correct," Cossack said bluntly. "Tundra Man is my youngest robot. Now then, what did you want here?"
"Oh, nothing much," Snake answered, blushing and turning his head. "I can't ssssssssurvey the next area until Shad and Gem have finished their jobsssssss. In the meantime, I just wanted to see if there wassssss anything you and your bots need help with."
"Oh," Cossack mumbled. "Well then, I suppose you could help Dust Man and Bright Man organize the stockroom - they might need a hand."
"Ssssssounds good," Snake sibilated. "Sssssssee you around!"
"See you," Cossack replied. "Good luck - it's pretty chaotic in there."
"Oh, don't worry about it!" Snake chuckled. "I can guarantee you that my kids are way worse."
As he spun around and left, Cossack's head snapped around, eyes bulging.
"Uuuuuugh!" Dust Man groaned, heaving a box onto a shelf. "How many more?"
"Six dozen," Toad Man sighed. "And that one's not in its proper place."
"Oh, brother!" Bright Man huffed. "We just gotta get them outta the truck, please!"
"But I thought we were supposed to organize them," Toad whined, "and the ones we already have!"
"Check the labels," Dust panted, "and make sure you put 'em in the right spot!"
"Wait, WHAT?!" Bright squeaked. "This is gonna take more than a day..."
"Why hello there," Snake Man purred, making everyone else gasp. "Good to see you're here too, watashi no kawaī ryōseirui no koibito."
"Huh?" Dust asked. "Whaddya mean?"
Snake sighed. "Never mind that. Let me give you a hand."
"Oh, awesome!" Dust sighed with relief. "We could totally use it!"
[FROM 12:06 PM TO 10:38 PM]
"Whew," Toad sighed. "I'm tired. You guys wanna retire for tonight?"
"Yeah," Bright agreed. "The rest of the cleaning can wait till tomorrow!"
"You guys!" Dr. Cossack called. "Come on over!"
Snake and the others obeyed, heading to the living room.
"Snake Man," Cossack stated. "Dr. Light and I talked earlier, and he has allowed you to spend the night. Just don't cause any trouble, okay?"
"Underssssstood," Snake spoke, nodding. "Thank you kindly, ssssssir."
"You're welcome," he replied. "Now then, you guys get cleaned up. Don't make a lot of noise - Kalinka's asleep."
[AFTER CLEANING UP]
"Snake Man," Cossack whispered, gesturing for him to head on over.
"Yesssss sssssir?" Snake chirped cutely.
"Are you alright with sleeping in another robot's room?" Cossack asked.
"Why, of course!" Snake almost squealed. "Can I choose?"
"Sure," Cossack responded. "My brain needs a rest, after a long day of nothing but straining it."
"Alrighty then," Snake spoke quietly. "Thankssssss again."
"You're welcome," the doctor chuckled. "Good night."
Snake hugged him, surprising him, but he hugged back nonetheless.
"Good night," Snake purred into his ear.
With that, he tiptoed around the house until he found Toad Man's room.
He gently pushed the door open just wide enough for him to peek inside. "Hello?"
The room's occupant sat up. His back was turned to the door. "Snake Man?"
"Yesssssss," he giggled. "Mind if I conk out here for the night?"
The figure hesitated before replying. "Sure."
Snake slipped into the room, closing the door behind him. He strode towards the bed and tapped the figure on the shoulder.
"Yes?" he asked. "Oh, sorry. I should p-probably, ehh..." His voice trailed off.
Snake cocked his head. "Hmm?"
The figure sighed and turned himself around. Judging by the eyes, it was Toad Man!
"S-sorry," he heaved. "I know I'm probably a mess here, but-"
"No, no, it's okay," Snake interrupted, a bit nervous. "You look wonderful just the way you are."
He blushed and covered his mouth, speechless. He sported a bulky frame, and though he appeared muscular, his upper arms and thighs were simply wider than Snake's. His head was covered in spiky brown hair, which was in a short ponytail held by a black hair tie. He wore what appeared to be white robes, and he was sitting criss-cross, so his bare feet stuck out from underneath his clothing.
"Y-you think so?" Toad finally asked with an adorable tone of voice.
"Yessssss," Snake responded, stripping his armor and helmet off. "Anata wa kawaī hikigaerudesu, you know it?"
"W-what?!" Toad squeaked. "Y-you think I'm... cute?"
Snake nodded, then strode over to the bed and sat down next to Toad, scooting closer and wrapping an arm around his shoulder.
"Love you," he purred, stroking him under the chin.
Toad hesitated, but then a blush began to creep across his face, and soon he was grinning from "ear" to "ear."
"L-love you too," he mumbled, closing his eyes. When he opened them, though, he was face to face with Snake.
He kissed Snake, who was shocked at first, but quickly relaxed and let Toad man hug him. After a few minutes of heaven, they broke the kiss and gazed dreamily into each other's eyes. Without speaking, Toad pulled the covers over them, and wrapped himself in his robes like a burrito. Snake hugged him and nuzzled him, then Toad snuggled into his chest and kissed him on the neck before falling asleep.
"Watashi no itooshī hito," Snake chuckled before planting a kiss on his lover's head and dozing off.
