Real People Fume and Seethe
The sun has already fallen below the horizon when they wake up. C.B is still pants less, and goes to find at least underwear, but Electra is definitely in a worse state. Their underwear were soaked through with cum, and are now crusty and uncomfortable. The inside of their jeans are in a similar condition. Electra makes a face as they stiffly stand up, looking pitifully over at C.B, who tries to cover up his laughter as he digs out a pair of sweatpants that are definitely too short for Electra.
”Here you go sweetheart, they’re too short for you, but they’re at least not crunchy on the inside.”
Electra almost body slams C.B with a hug, aggressively kissing his cheeks, forehead, and lips.
”Thank you, you are so sweet and kind and cute and I want to eat you alive.”
C.B laughs, but wraps his arms around the giant engine trying to wrap themselves completely around him.
”Okay okay, I get it! Come on, let’s get you cleaned up, and then we can talk a bit about all of this. Maybe without having sex immediately, it’s probably better if we’re on the same page first.”
Electra pouts, but agrees, and lets themselves get dragged into the bathroom. There C.B shows how to turn on the shower, and gives Electra a kiss on the cheek before leaving the room, giving Electra the space to clean themselves up.
Twenty minutes later the door to the bathroom opens and steam wells out as Electra steps out. They look so good like this, wearing C.B’s clothes with their hair damp. C.B can’t help but stare at them from the couch, slack jawed. Electra doesn’t waste any time, just immediately going to tackle C.B with a hug, causing both of them to end up lying down on the couch. C.B smiles and runs his fingers through their hair.
”Hi honey, did you have a good shower?”
He surprises himself with how easy it is for him to be this domestic and loving. But he doesn’t hate it, it feels good to be able to be this open emotionally. Electra tilts their head to look at him, smiling.
”It was nice, I smell like you now.”
C.B laughs and kisses them on the forehead.
”Do you want to talk about everything now? It seems like a good moment.”
Electra moves around a bit, pulling C.B more into their lap so that they’re both able to speak without being muffled.
”Yes, I think that’s probably smart. Is there anything in particular you would like to bring up first?”
C.B rests his head on Electras chest, listening to the whirr of their engine for a moment before answering.
”Yeah, I guess I’m just wondering what we are? Or what you want us to be.”
Electra plays with his hair, twirling a lock of it around their finger.
”I want you to be my boyfriend, if that’s what you also want. Want you to be mine in any way you’ll allow. It would be a gift and a mercy for you to take me as I am, and let me love you as you are.”
C.B is overwhelmed with the emotions that swell up in his chest. He clings to the arm Electra has around him, taking a few deep breaths but his voice still cracks when answering.
”I would like that. I really want to be your boyfriend, and I want you to be my partner.”
Electra smiles brightly, kissing the top of his head.
”Good. That’s really good. I love you, C.B. You don’t have to say it back if you don’t want to, but I want you to know that I do.”
An utterly unnatural sound manages to escape from C.B as he processes what Electra just said. He knows that he loves Electra, but the thought that Electra loves him back never crossed his mind! Not even a few hours ago when their tongue was down his throat. He realizes after a few seconds that Electra is trying to get his attention.
”-kay? C.B can you hear me? I’m sorry if I’m going too fast, I haven’t been in a relationship before, I don’t know the rules!”
C.B pats Electra on the arm, trying to calm them down.
”I’m okay! I just zoned out for a little bit, sorry. And you’re not going too fast, at least not for me. I love you too! I just didn’t realize that you loved me back before, it caught me off guard!”
Electra breathes a sigh of relief, squeezing C.B in a hug.
”Thank the Starlight. You scared me, I thought I broke you! Never do that again. Promise me.”
C.B laughs, turning around to hug them back properly, kissing them while he’s at it.
”It takes a little more than an ’I love you’ to break me~ And trust me, I intend to figure out exactly where my limits are, and you’re going to help me.”
Electra blushes furiously as their lap is filled with a hot and ready caboose. Unfortunately they don’t have the time to start exploring limits, because in a series of events eerily similar to C.B’s last day off, Wrench knocks on the door. She doesn’t wait to be let in, and doesn’t even seem bothered by what’s happening on the couch, instead focusing on delivering her message.
”Electra, your charge is going to run out in half an hour, I suggest you come with me to charge overnight to make up for the charges you haven’t had today. Hello C.B.”
Electra groans and pulls their new boyfriend down into a nearly suffocating hug.
”Come on! Can’t I stay a little bit longer?”
Wrench shakes her head, standing firm on her point.
”No. If your backup generator runs out you will be very difficult to move, and I will have to get Krupp and Killerwatt to help me. And I do not believe you want to be carried across the entire yard for everyone to see, just because you wanted to make out with your boyfriend a little longer.”
Electra groans even louder, finally sitting up, still with C.B in their arms.
”I hate you.”
Wrench scoffs.
”No you do not, and put C.B down. I’m sure he wants to walk by himself.”
Electra grumbles, but puts C.B down, albeit begrudgingly. C.B himself is trying not to burst out laughing at how childish Electra is being, because he feels the same way about them leaving. It may be selfish, but he wants them to stay forever.
He finds a bag for Electra to put their clothes in, and walks with them to the main tracks before stopping. Wrench steps away, giving them some space to say goodbye. C.B is just about to say something when Electra pulls him close and kisses him passionately. He throws his arms around their shoulders, closing his eyes and kissing them back with just as much passion. Wrench clears her throat after a minute or so, causing them to break the kiss.
”Not to rush you, but it’s fifteen minutes now.”
Electra rolls their eyes. Kissing C.B again, quickly this time, they whisper into his ear.
”I will see you soon my love, I hope to meet you in my dreams. I love you.”
”I love you too, and I’ll see you at lunch tomorrow!”
C.B sees Wrench rolling her eyes over Electras shoulder, and snorts a laugh. Electra themself decide to ignore Wrench for a few seconds more, kissing the back of C.B’s hand. Then they have to leave because a warning light starts blinking in their eye. C.B watches them leave with a smile on his face, finally understanding the phrase ”hate to see them leave, love to watch them walk away.”
