There was an aggressive knock on Arthur’s front door. He looked up from his notebook and peeked curiously at the door. In the kitchen, fixing him some heart healthy meal, he was sure the android heard it to.

Standing up slowly, he walked towards the attacked door with cautious. He momentarily thinks about arming himself with some but quickly dropped the thought when he heard a voice shout “POLICE!”

Arthur opened the door as a large man in uniform stood there, a clipboard in hand. Arthur took a moment to capture the guy’s features just in case. After all, not only were their androids simply rebelling, but some disguised themselves as humans to attack unsuspecting owners. He was a dude with a five oclock shadow with a scar on his nose. His hands looked like they’ve punched some things and broke fingers.

Androids can’t retain scars.

Or atleast Arthur thinks. The officer looks up and frowns. “I’ve come here to survey your home and also take any troublesome robot if they are present.” His voice was violent and impatient, making Arthur gulped.

“C…come in.” He said with a shakey tone. The officer walked past him and looked around the small home. “Um….do you have a name sir?” Arthur squeaked out weakly. The man didn’t even look up as he picked up a photo. It was Arthur with his uncle in a hospital bed, his arm not yet placed on.

“No need to know.” He responded dryly, still walking around. “What do you think about the recent rebellions Mr. Kingsmen?” The officer went to the table Arthur was sitting at and picked up his notebook. He flipped through the pages and frowned.

“It’s….worrisome…b..but for the most part it seems like many of them aren’t trying to be…” Arthur sucked his breath as the man was suddenly towering over his, eyes narrowing and judging. “Peaceful.” Arthur managed to say before he choked on the word.

“Peaceful?!” The officer spat in Arthur’s face. Suddenly, he was grabbing Arthur by the collar and lifting him up. “You’ve seen it! Hell you live near it! The murders! The attacks! The snuggling! You call that PEACEFUL!?”

“That’s some of them though.” Arthur responded as he was dropped. The officer snorted and headed towards the kitchen. He smirked as he saw Lewis place some plates in dish water.

“Bastards like these are the most dangerous,” The officer growled while Arthur dusted himself off. The officer stormed towards Lewis before punching it in the cheek. Lewis stumbled a bit but didn’t dare change his expression. “They see humans when they’re most vulnerable. They watch over the weak; the young, the old, the sick, and the insane. Fuckers get cocky and strike.” He stepped up so he and Lewis’s robotic eyes met. “This one ain’t no different. You hear me machine, you’re just a fucking disaster waiting to happen!”

“Don’t talk to him like that!” Arthur managed to yell. The officer stopped and slowly turned to the younger man. His cheeks now red with this type of anger. He stomped and within moments he pushed Arthur back hard, making the disabled man fall back and hit his head on one of the chairs.

“You’re dumb as hell to say something like that.” The officer was fumming as he picked Arthur up by the collar of his shirt again. “I’ve had enough! I’m done dealing with idiots like you! Free the mechanical slaves~! Oppression must end~! It’s all bullshit!” The officer threw Arthur down.

Arthur looked up in fear, unconsciously touching his prostatic arm. The officer noticed and gave a sick grin as he stomped his foot down on Arthur’s stomach. “You’re basically like them. That arm of your connects to your brain. You’re basically an android yourself.” He cackled and bent down, wrapping his fingers around Arthur’s throat.

“I’ve been stressed, reeaaal stressed, and my boss says I can kill any robot that gets out of line.” Arthur was gagging, his heart racing and head pounding with the glimpse of death.

But before he black out, he heard to officer give a shout before there was a tumbling noise. He blinked and looked next to him, only to see Lewis choking the officer. His eyes were dark, teeth grinded, and it appeared to be tears in his eyes.

Arthur was too in shock to move or anything. He just watched as the rogue police squirmed and trembled like a dog before going limp. Lewis let go and looked at Arthur, those glowing pink eyes holding determination.

Arthur held his breath. He wouldn’t fight it. If he were meant to die by his android so be it. But instead, Lewis lifted him up and hugged him, tight.

“I love you. Fuck the code. Fuck the law. I can’t hide it anymore!” Arthur was silent. Here he was, in his home, a dead body and a deviant who caused it.

But also loved him.

Holy shit!
