Obvious~Drumbot Soldier
Drumbot Brian and The Toy Soldier have been dating for a very long time. They got together a few years after TS joined, and have been hiding it ever since. They were scared the crew would think it was weird, they are a wooden doll and robot after all. But the time has come, and they decide to tell the crew. Brian gathers everyone into the common area and nervously taps on his arm as he tries to organize his words. “Well? What did you call us all in here for Brian?” Ashes asks, nothing hostile in their voice but it still makes Brian nervous. “Well… I wanted to… Me and…” TS gives a big smile and thumbs up from where it stands behind the couch, and that eases Brian’s nerves just a bit. “TS and I have been dating for a while. And I know that might seem weird to you because it’s a wood doll and I’m a robot but we have been dating and we do love each other, and yeah, that’s all.” Jonny makes a sound of disgust and Nastya smacks his head before speaking, “Brian, do you think me dating Aurora is weird?” Brian quickly shakes his head, “Not at all!” “Then why would you think any of us would think this is weird? This seems more normal than me and Aurora actually.” There are sounds of agreement throughout the crew and Brian is relaxes. “Besides,” Tim says, “We already knew. Just didn’t want to say anything and make either of you uncomfortable if we were wrong.” “How Did You Know? I Thought We Hid It Rather Well!” “The nicknames mainly,” Marius says, “Soldier calls everyone by a formal nickname, but calls you ‘Brian’ or ‘Bri’. And you call it ‘Sol’. That’s different than any other nickname it has, and it seems to get happier every time you call it that.” Brian laughs, “Okay, yeah, we were pretty bad at hiding it.” “Just don’t start going all in on the PDA, got it? Or I’ll shoot you,” Jonny says, grumbling.” “Jonny. You’re sitting on Marius’ lap right now.” A shot rings out, and just like that, everything is back to normal.
