This has to be the most craziest thing that ever happened in (Y/n)'s entire life.

Not because she was riding in an actual government class jet, but because she was riding in a jet with an ANDROID.

An android that was a killing machine.

(Y/n) had never thought that technology would get this far in life...this wasn't just advanced technology though, it was MORE than the average advanced.

And now she was sitting right next to a machine that is capable of performing more things than a human.

She silently stared at the android, who drove the jet with a blindfold on.

A BLINDFOLD COVERING HIS EYES.

She felt dizzy as she gripped her seatbelt, shuddering as she saw just how high they were flying in the clear skies. After minutes of awkward silence, she decided to speak to the android.

"H-How can you see with the blindfold on?!"

"...I can see everything."

"O-Okay, that's it! Time out! Land this thing! NOW!"

(Y/n) ordered the android, who nodded his head. After perfectly landing the white jet in the middle of the desert, (Y/n) rapidly unbuckled herself before jumping out of the jet, landing on the sandy floor as she gasped for air.
She then vomits, coughing as she tried to regain her energy. Well, there goes her dinner from the previous night.
The android just watches her from afar, a blank expression still sticking to his pale face. Pod 153 then rushes to (Y/n)'s side, patting her back.

"Are you okay, (Y/n)?"

"NO! I'm NOT okay! I almost died back there!"

(Y/n) gags before wiping her mouth with the sleeve of her jacket, turning to the Pod and the android.

"Now what the hell is THIS thing?"

"This is Unit 9S, he is an android who had been created along with me many years ago for government purposes."

"Yeah, no shit! Now who created him?"

"...The creator is unknown. Me and Unit 9S have been offline for years and I was the first one to come back online. The men had awaken me just to see if I knew how to bring 9S back, but unfortunately, I didn't...they knew right then that they had no purpose of keeping me alive and so, they almost destroyed me, but luckily, I had escaped to the sand dunes and that was where you found me and I knew right then that you were our only hope."

"Your only hope? YOUR only hope?! I never asked for this! I never asked for any of this! Now the government is going to be coming after me! You two just made my life even harder to live in!"

"Please (Y/n), let me finish.
There is one thing I remember about our creator and that is that he didn't create 9S to be a war machine...he created 9S to learn human emotions...he never wanted 9S to kill anyone, instead, he wanted 9S to bring peace to every human being on Earth. Unfortunately, the other men didn't agree with him."

"...And that's when you two went offline?"

(Y/n) asked, folding her arms. The Pod nodded.

"...Affirmative."

(Y/n) then sighs, staring at the android, who stood there in silence. She then walks past him and reaches into the jet to grab her bag of cash, hoping that none of the bullets had passed through it. She then holds it over her shoulder as she turned to the others.

"Well, I did you two a favor, so now this is goodbye. Have a happy life, have a happy death, bye."

(Y/n) then trudged through the sandy dunes, only to realize that 9S and the Pod were following her. She scoffs.

"Uhhh, you can stop following me now."

(Y/n) turns and walks a few more steps, only to turn around and find 9S and the Pod STILL following her like she was their mother duck.
(Y/n) then scowls.

"Stop following me."

"(Y/n), I'm afraid we cannot follow your direct order."

"My order? What are you talking about?"

"Our creator has programmed us to follow the orders of our commander and because of you being the last person to bring 9S back online, you are our new commander."

"What?! Look, I ain't babysitting you OR this kid here! I got enough shit to worry about as of now! So leave me alone and get lost!"

(Y/n) snapped as she then walks away from them, only to hear 9S speak.

"...I'm not going back."

"...What?"

"I have been trapped there for years, why would I want to go back? Our creator is gone and you have saved us, so now, you're our leader and we're going to follow you everywhere you go. So stop complaining and show us what our next objective is."

(Y/n) stared at 9S with wide eyes, her mouth dropping to the floor as she couldn't believe every word he had just said.

"...Did you just talk back to me?"

"..."

"Look kid, you're not my problem and if you really think that I'm going to let stay with me, you have another thing coming-"

(Y/n) then pauses, an idea suddenly popping in her head.

She is in the possession of an android, a machine that had the ability to hack into anything AND defend her against any harm...

Maybe, he could be useful.

(Y/n) smiles to herself as she then strokes 9S's white hair, feeling how soft it was as he stared at her, awaiting her orders.

"You know what? You're right, I am your leader and it's my job to take you around with me anywhere I go! But, if you're going to come with me, you have to listen to every word I say, okay?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Good boy~"

(Y/n) praises as she kissed his cheek, surprised not to see a reaction from the android. She shrugs it off however as she then points towards the direction to where the city was.

"Now, let's go home~"

***

They have killed him, only for him to unexpectedly come back alive, screeching as the walls and buildings began to crumble around them. Large boulders start to fall, landing near 9S and 2B as they covered their ears, wishing for the screams to go away. 9S then turns to 2B, panicking.

"2B! We gotta get out of here!"

The two then rush out of there, dodging the falling rubble as they both then made it out of there alive, panting.
9S then felt a bad feeling bubbling inside him.

What was that thing...?

"What the hell just happened...?"

2B asked as she rests against a tree trunk, wiping the sweat off her brow.
9S shook his head.

"I know! I never seen a machine like that before...we'd better report this to Command."

9S advises as he then sends a signal to Command with his Pod.

"9S to Bunker, do you copy?"

"I read you, 9S. Go ahead."

"Operator, we uh...we just encountered a pair of humanoid machines. We weren't able to capture them...but I have combat data ready for upload."

"Understood, ready to receive."

"Hopefully you can get something out of it..."

9S replied before the message ends.
He then turns to 2B.

"Let's go back to the Bunker."

2B then nods before the two YoRHa androids leave the desert area.

Funny...I was about to call it home.

***

"Is this...home?"

9S asked as he and (Y/n) stood in front of a metal door in the back of an abandoned Dungeons and Dragons store. (Y/n) smiles as she pats his shoulder.

"Yep! This is it, home~ Now remember, let me do all the talking, okay?"

"Yes ma'am."

9S replies as (Y/n) then presses the buttons on the pad, beeping noises coming from them as she then waits for the door to open. After the door slides open, she grabs 9S's hand and leads him inside, the two going downstairs to where (Y/n)'s home was.
Everything in there was in bright neon colors, cool graffiti written all over the walls as there was a large screen tv hanging on the wall and pinball machines lit up the place.
Sitting at the table was Lolita, Russell and Rocco, who suddenly jumped out of their seats as they spot (Y/n) entering the room. The three then give (Y/n) a group hug, squishing her.

"(Y-Y/N)! OH MY GOD YOU'RE ALIVE! YOU'RE ALIIIIIVE HAHAHA!"

"(Y/n)...God, you scared us, little bro..."

"We all thought you didn't make it! We were about to plan a jail break for you!"

"Please, no one can catch THIS gal~"

(Y/n) teased as she points to herself, causing all of her friends to laugh. Lolita then notices the boy with the white hair and blindfold standing a few feet away from them, silently staring at them with a blank face.

"Uhh...(Y/n), who's this?"

Rocco and Russell then notice the boy too, their eyes widening at the sight of him. Rocco then giggles as he winks at (Y/n).

"Ooooh, is this your new boyfriend?~"

"Man, I didn't know that you were going to get laid AFTER our little bank heist..."

"He's actually kinda cute~"

"Why's he naked?"

"Guys guys! All of your questions will be answered! Just let me take care of him first!"

(Y/n) replied with a blush across her cheeks as she then takes 9S's hand and leads him to the couch.

"9S, just have a seat here."

9S nods before gently plopping down on the couch, looking around the room as he stares up at (Y/n). She blushes as she then wraps a blanket around him, covering his bare body.

"Just stay there, okay? Relax! There's no enemies down here so don't worry."

(Y/n) reassured him before turning back to her group of friends, who were staring at her, dumbfounded.
She then gathers them together in a circle as she takes a deep breath.

"This boy...isn't who you think he is..."

"Uhh yeah, it's obvious, he's your secret boyfriend you never told us about..."

"No...no he's not that."

"Ooooh...I see...he's gay, right?"

"N-No! He's not that either! Shut up, Rocco!"

"Then who is he, (Y/n)?"

(Y/n) sighs before telling her friends the truth.

"...He's an android..."

"What?! No way, (Y/n), everyone knows that technology hasn't improved THIS much yet! So stop bullshitting!"

"I'm telling you guys the truth! And I have proof! Metal Head! Come out here!"

(Y/n) urged as Pod then pops out of the bag, shaking some wads of cash off its head.

"My name is Pod 153, remember?"

"Holy shit!"

"W-What is that?!"

Rocco, Russell and Lolita back away, staring at the Pod in shock.
Russell then approaches the Pod, gently touching it with his hand.

"Whoa...so you are telling the truth..."

"Yes! I found this thing after I escaped in the sand dunes! It lead me to a secret government facility and to that boy! Now I'm supposedly their leader and they're not going to leave me...aaaaand now I might be wanted for stealing government property..."

"(Y/n)...this is a fascinating discovery you've made, I'll be honest...but you can't let them stay here."

"What? Why?"

"Don't you see? They're leading the government straight to us! We're the country's biggest fugitives and if the government finds them, they'll find us! You have to get rid of them..."

"I've tried, okay! They won't leave me because their creator is possibly...dead."

(Y/n) whispered, causing the members to look at each other. Lolita then speaks.

"Who's their creator?"

"That's the thing...I don't know and they don't know either...they've been offline for years, the only thing they want now is to never go back there, to the government...from what Metal Head told me, their original creator made 9S to learn about the human race...and emotions for that matter, but the government officials want to use him as a weapon for war..."

"Oh man...that's terrible..."

"He's not going to kill us, right?"

"No, no he's not going to kill anyone again, I made him promise. So now I'm stuck with him...but, here's the thing, he knows how to hack~"

"Really?"

"Yes, he can help us hack into any kind of security system without setting off alarms! He can help us rob more banks!"

"Whoa...now THAT'S freaking awesome!"

"This could actually work..."

"Hmm...it could be risky...but...okay, we'll keep him."

(Y/n) then smiled as both Rocco and Russell cheered, high fiving each other while 9S stared at them in confusion.
The group then turn to 9S, smiling as they shook hands with the android.

"Welcome to the team~"

"I hope we can be good friends~"

"Have you ever stolen a car before? I'm going to teach you SO many things~"

"9S, you're officially apart of our family now, congrats~"

(Y/n) said as she pinches his cheek as he stared at her.

"...Family?"

"Hell yeah, family!"

"...Family."

Rocco then smells the android's hair, disgusted as he pinched his nose.

"Ewwww, he smells like oil and grease!"

"Ah, you're right! Come on, 9S, let's get you cleaned up."

"Cleaned...up?"

9S asked as (Y/n) then leads him to the bathroom, taking the blanket off him as she then turns the faucet, the bathtub filling up with steaming water. After it's all full, she then points to it, trying not to stare at 9S.

"Well, whatcha waiting for? Get in."

9S nodded as he then puts his feet first in the bath, then the rest of his body, soaking in the warm water as he looked up at (Y/n), who was sitting on the toilet, squeezing shampoo into the palm of her hand.

"I don't understand why I have to do this..."

"Well, humans always have to wash themselves...we can't just go around smelling like fish, am I right? AND! It's nice to soak in a bath after a long day of work~"

"...I guess."

9S replies as (Y/n) washes his hair, humming a tune as she rubs his scalp.
It was all so weird for her...she was washing an android who didn't even know the purpose of bathing...

Oh, she had so much to teach him.

After cleaning him all up, the android then follows (Y/n) with a towel wrapped around him, the two meeting everyone else in the living room.
Rocco and Russell were busy wiping down Pod 153 with water and soap while Lolita filed her long blue nails.
(Y/n) then claps her hands, capturing the attention of the others.

"Okay! 9S is all clean! Now we need to make him LOOK human. Any ideas?~"

"Well, we can start by finding him clothes to wear~"

And so, the three made 9S try on different styles of clothing while (Y/n) and Pod watched like it was all apart of a fashion show. Russell was first to dress 9S, which consisted of a hipster look. (Y/n) and Pod both shook their heads.

"No, too much of a tree hugger..."

Rocco then tries his idea next. This time, 9S came out of the dressing room, naked just like how he was before. (Y/n) blushed as she turned to Rocco.

"Rocco, he's not wearing anything."

"Exactly~"

Lolita shakes her head as she throws a sour worm at his face.

"This ain't a porno, pervert."

A few styles later...it was now Lolita's turn. She smiles as she held the curtain.

"Okay, this is the LAST outfit I could come up with..."

"Well, whatcha waiting for? Show it to us!"

(Y/n) smiled as Rocco and Russell nod in agreement. Lolita then clears her throat.

"Presenting the new and improved android~"

She then pulls back the curtain and 9S walked out, causing everyone to gasp...

He was wearing a baby blue sweater with black shorts and black leather boots as he wore the blindfold around his head.

(Y/n) blushed at the sight of him as the others then whistle and clapped.

"Now THIS is what I call a masterpiece!"

"He looks so cool..."

"Thank you, thank you~"

Lolita said as she took a bow. She then turns to (Y/n).

"So, (Y/n), how is it?~"

"It's so...simple, just the way I like it...he looks almost human."

"Except the blindfold! He has to take it off! Take it off! Take it off!"

Rocco chants as Russell joins him.
(Y/n) realized that Rocco was right, 9S was STILL wearing that blindfold that covered his eyes entirely. She then approaches him, holding out her hand.

"9S, let's take this off-"

"No."

9S said as he turned away, avoiding
(Y/n)'s hand.

"Why not?"

"...You don't want to see what's under it..."

"Please 9S, we have to take it off. In order to keep you hidden from the enemy, we have to make you look human and that means you have to show your eyes...so please, 9S, do this for me."

9S saw (Y/n)'s eyes glistened as she begged to him...it made him feel...flustered, an emotion he had never felt before.

Was this one of the emotions that his creator wanted him to learn about?

9S then slowly nodded before carefully untying his blindfold, his fingers trembling as he then takes it off, revealing himself to the others.
(Y/n) gasped as she stared into his eyes...

They had a very beautiful glow to them that (Y/n) couldn't look away.

9S then blushed as he stared back at her.

"M-Ma'am? A-Are you okay?"

"9S...you're so...beautiful..."

"Ma'am...?"

(Y/n) then snaps out of her trance as she then awkwardly coughs, shyly smiling at him.

"Umm well, now that that's out of
the way, we need to give you a nickname. We can't just call you 9S, otherwise, people will get suspicious."

(Y/n) then puts a finger on her cheek, thinking of nicknames for the android.

"Hmm...how about...Nines?"

"Nines...?"

9S asked, surprised. (Y/n) then smiles.

"Yeah, Nines, do you like that name?"

"...Yeah..."

9S said with a smile.

Nines...I like that name. Is this what my creator means by having butterflies in your tummy? If so...I like it.

(Y/n) then giggles as she playfully punches him in the shoulder.

"You don't have to call me ma'am either, just call me (Y/n), okay?"

"Okay...(Y/n)~"

(Y/n)...I like that name too...
