Boop / Stars / Art ~ Drumbot Soldier
Boop
“Brian, Love! I Have Found A New Interaction That Humans Find Cute!” Brian smiles at TS and kisses its cheek, “Oh? What is it then, Sol?” TS extends a single finger and carefully taps Brian’s metal nose, making him go cross eyed as he tries to look at it. “Boop!” Brian breaks out into a fit of giggles and returns the favor, tapping the small bump above its mustache, “Boop!” TS giggles right back. If it weren’t for the crew’s annoyance, the two could have done this all day.
Stars
They didn’t actually kick Ivy out of her library, she left willingly to go to bed, they had just convinced her to retire early. Regardless, The Toy Soldier and Drumbot Brian had the library all to themselves that night, including the glass roof that let them see the stars as they pass by. Brian clears off a table, hoping Ivy won’t shoot him for it later, and invites TS to lay next to him on the table. They lay in silence, Brian resting his head on TS’ shoulder. “The stars look so pretty…” Brian eventually comments, “But definitely not as cute as you, Sol.” TS grins and kisses the top of Brian’s head, “You Are Brighter Than Every Star Out There.” Maybe the two fall asleep on the tables, and maybe they both get shot at by Ivy in the morning, but it was still the best date they’d ever had.
Art
“Love?” Brian turns from his position in bed next to TS, “Yes Sol?” “When You Paint On My Back… How Do You Do It?” Brian raises an eyebrow, “What do you mean?” TS mutters to itself, trying to find the right wording. “How Do You… Art? I Would Like To Paint On You As Well, But I Don’t know How.” Brian still doesn’t know what it's asking, but he sits up and takes out some paper and some crayons. “I don’t know how to explain it, but I can show you and have you practice.” TS sits up and Brian hands it some supplies. “Okay, so take this and try to recreate my shape with it. I’ll be doing the same.” TS tries its best, using the red crayon to make many shapes and sort of copy what Brian was doing, but in the end, it just looked like a mess of scribbles. Brian looks over, “That’s good Sol!” Now try coloring it in. It’s not gonna look exact, but that’s not a bad thing.” The two sit again in silence as TS uses different browns, yellows, oranges, and reds, to color in the outline of Brian. “All Done!” It finally says, happiness in its voice.” Brian looks over, “That looks so good! Especially for your first time! Here, I finished mine too.” The two swap art and TS looks over the cutely drawn picture of itself holding a flower. It looks much better than the one it gave Brian, but the look of pure love and adoration on his face stopped its request to start over. They both hung the art above their bed.
