Work Text:
As Lea wakes up, her eyes snap open and she's already vibrating with excitement. The artificial muscles in her android body stretch as she sits up in Shizuka's living room.
Weeks of testing this body in a controlled, isolated environment have made her so restless to get it out of the R&D chambers. She did, at one point, get to spend an hour or two with Shizuka physically in the lab doing safety testing, but they had to keep it "strictly professional," so they only managed to get in a few minutes of intimate cuddling before the overseer of the Evotar Robotics Project told them to cut it out. The worst part is that testing often took up most of her day, which meant less time back in CrossWorlds to spend with everyone. And that's not even mentioning the years of pushback from Instatainment and constant beurocratic hoops her friends had to fight through to make it at all possible. Shizuka had to go through constant paperwork just so Instatainment would keep working on these android vessels.
But now the construction and testing is finally over. Her components were shipped over to Shizuka, and she's finally here, conscious and fully assembled. Shizuka and Emilie are sitting in front of her, holding hands as they look at Lea's newly awakened form. Shizuka's eyes are intense, like she's about to throw herself at Lea at any moment. Emilie is tearing up, and Lea can see her squeezing Shizuka's hand tight.
"Hi," Lea says softly, and Shizuka lets go of Emilie's hand in order to approach Lea. Joy blooms in Lea's chest as Shizuka's arms find their way around her waist, a soft embrace that Lea is quick to return. She can feel her artificial mucles shifting, mechanisms humming to life in her arms to let her hug Shizuka.
"How does your body feel? Does anything seem off? If anything is hurting or uncomfortable l'll fix it," Shizuka says, a bit of worry in her voice.
Lea hasn't noticed anything wrong in her body yet. She's still not totally used to feeling mechanisms click and whirr as she moves, but that's just a quirk of this body. She shakes her head, then nuzzles her face against Shizuka's shoulder.
"Told you I assembled her properly, Shizuka," Emilie says, and Lea feels a small spike in her temperature at the mental image of Emilie assembling her body, hands against her components, fingers tangled in her wiring. "Carla did a good job of explaining how." She then approaches Lea, joining Shizuka in embracing her. "Bonjour, chérie~"
"Hi..." Lea says, placing a kiss to Emilie's cheek.
"Welcome home, Lea," Shizuka says softly, with a tremble in her voice that she fails to conceal.
Home... Lea smiles softly. She's home, here, in the real world, in the arms of two of her favorite people. She feels her synthetic eyes grow damp. She's home.
Homestedt is still her home too, of course, she knows she's going to transfer back into CrossWorlds often, especially while Luke and C'tron are waiting for their own bodies to be completed. But to have the ability to be here in the real world, with Shizuka and Emilie, knowing she'll get to fall asleep in their arms... it means everything to her.
Shizuka trembles slightly, then a quiet sob escapes her. Lea lifts her head and looks at Shizuka with worry, tilting her head to the side a bit.
"F-fuck, I'm sorry," Shizuka says softly, a small smile on her face even as tears fall. "I just... you're finally here. It's been years but now you're here and you're free and you don't have to be trapped in CrossWorlds anymore." Her arms tighten around Lea as she sniffles.
Lea smiles, gently leaning in to kiss Shizuka, gently. Shizuka's response is immediate and desperate, arms tightening to þe point of nearly crushing Lea as Shizuka leans into þe kiss hard. Lea stays gentle, leaning into Shizuka with soft motions, trying to be reassuring as she pours forth her affection, letting Shizuka just feel that she's here.
Shizuka trembles as she continues fiercely returning the kiss. Her tongue is shoved into Lea's mouth, a feeling that sends happy shivers through Lea's body.
When Lea pulls away, Shizuka is panting, more tears pouring along her cheeks.
"You two are so cute," Emilie murmurs, and Shizuka gives an annoyed sigh, voice still shaky.
"Shut up," Shizuka responds.
Emilie gives a mock gasp. "Mean! Anyways, it's my turn to make out with Lea."
Immediately, Emilie turns Lea to face her, then pulls her into a slow kiss. Lea gives a surprised squeak then moves her hands behind Emilie's shoulders, caressing them as she leans in.
When the kiss ends, Emilie is smiling at Lea, hand on her head. "I love you so much, Chérie," She says softly. Lea smiles back, and can feel the little mechanisms in her face straining from just how wide her smile is.
Emilie then stands and pulls Lea up with her. "Come with me to the kitchen! Shizuka and I made something to see if your body's food consumption system works."
Lea's eyes light up. Food. Food is very good. She helps Shizuka stand before immediately embracing her again.
"Hgh- hey-" Shizuka says, "you're awfully clingy, you know that?"
Lea nods with a smile, before letting Shizuka go and twirling towards the kitchen.
After getting to eat a fantastic quiche that Emilie made, Lea and her girlfriends leave Shizuka's house for a walk. It's almost surreal being in a real, genuine town. As Lea walks beside Shizuka and Emilie, holding their hands, she sees other people, people she doesn't know, walking across concrete paths built for real everyday human life.
Shizuka leads her and Emilie to a nearby park, a little slice of Earth's ecology transplated onto this planet for purposes of both preservation and admiration.
The place is lush with greenery and life, trees towering over and countless different flowers, bushes, and other small plants surrounding small footpaths. On the surface it's not too different from Gaia's Garden, aside from climate, but Lea can feel something unique in the knowledge that these plants grow and wither and bloom. It's alive, dynamic, complete, not just a leafy facade.
"Ah, I can't wait for tronny's body to be finished," Emilie muses, kneeling down at a particularly interesting flower, "I bet they'd have so many interesting things to say about all these plants."
"Hm, probably would," Shizuka responds, and she doesn't even scowl at the mention of C'tron's name.
Another hour or so of walking, admiring the plantlife, and listening to Emilie and Shizuka chatting goes by, before Lea gestures that she's ready to head home. As nice as it is walking out here, it is taking time away from the very important activity of cuddling her girlfriends, as it's much harder to do that while all they're out and walking around.
"Have you had a good day so far, Lea?" Shizuka asks. Lea's laying on Shizuka's bed, sandwiched between Emilie and Shizuka, her arms wrapped loosely around Shizuka.
Lea nods in response, before kissing Shizuka, slow and gentle. She holds their lips together as her arms tighten their grip on Shizuka.
Emilie puts her hands on Lea's shoulders, and gives them a soft squeeze, fingers pressing against Lea's soft outer paneling. Lea feels her temperature raise at the sensation. Shizuka, meanwhile, raises her hands under Lea's shirt and places them against her sides.
Having her girlfriends' hands on her ends up eliciting a small moan from Lea, accompanied by a faint whirring as cooling fans come online. Shizuka leans into the kiss further, her tongue pushing into Lea's mouth.
Shizuka caresses Lea's sides, little kneading motions against her paneling that makes Lea shudder happily. After a few seconds, Lea pulls away from the kiss slowly, looking at Shizuka with wide eyes. "Hhhhi?"
"Yes Lea? Is this alright?" Shizuka asks in a low voice, a smile on her lips and a sudden heat in her eyes. Lea nods quickly, as enthusiastic as physically possible. "Good."
"What do you think of us getting our hands in your wiring, chérie?" Emilie asks, her hands joining Shizuka's under Lea's shirt, fingertips pressing at the seam of the panel on Lea's abdomen.
Lea whimpers at the very suggestion, nodding again. Emilie giggles and starts removing the panel, while Shizuka pulls off Lea's shirt.
Lea takes a sharp simulated inhale as her rapidly heating internals are exposed to the relatively cool air of the bedroom, a very nice contrast.
"Mon dieu, you're like a space heater!" Emilie laughs as she holds her hands over the new gap in Lea's casing.
Shizuka, very suddenly, grabs Lea's wrists and pushes her flat onto her back, hands above her head. Lea quivers and lets out a weak "hi!?" as she's pinned down, meanwhile Shizuka moves to straddle Lea's legs.
"Getting impatient, Shizuka~?" Emilie teases, her fingers brushing against the edge of the open section of Lea's abdomen.
"You have no fucking idea," Shizuka growls, her grip tightening around Lea's wrists. "I've been wanting to do this all day. Just look at her." Shizuka stares down at Lea with hungry eyes. "How could you resist wanting to just completely ruin her?"
Lea whimpers, wiggling slightly underneath Shizuka. It quickly becomes clear that the mechanisms controlling this body aren't any stronger than a human's muscles, as Lea can barely move her wrists against Shizuka's grip.
"Oui... she is very tempting..." Emilie says, and her hand slowly makes its way into Lea's inner workings. Lea trembles as she watches Emilie's hand descend through the open panel. Emilie's thumb ends up brushing against a cable slightly, making Lea gasp at the hot tingling feeling of the contact. "Merde you're too cute."
Emilie pinches the cable between her thumb and forefinger. "Hh-hiii..." Lea moans as Emilie rolls it back and forth between her fingers. Against Lea's thighs, she can feel a noticable bulge forming in Shizuka's pants, a feeling which only serves to intensify the need that's quickly building inside Lea.
Shizuka lets go of Lea's wrists, which Lea is a little disappointed by, but immediately Shizuka reaches a hand into Lea's chassis, and immediately the disappointment fades. Shizuka's fingers tangle their way between a small bundle of wires, before her fist closes and grips them tight. Lea gasps and she slightly twitches at the sensation. Meanwhile Emilie traces her fingers down along the wire she's holding, down to the port connecting it to a sensory processing node near Lea's pelvis.
Emilie traces a circle around the connection point, then grabs the wire's plug firmly, giving a gentle pull and partly disconnecting it, leaving it about two thirds of the way connected. Lea moans softly as her thighs and pelvis tingle with a pleasant fuzzy feeling. Emilie then slides the connection all the way back in, and Lea lets out another moan as she feels the port reconnect, her hips twitching as sensation returns to normal.
Shizuka pulls slowly on the group of wires tangled in her fist, her grip on the sensitive cabling getting tighter as she pulls until they're under tension. A little bit of pleasant, sharp pain jolts through the wires as Shizuka keeps pulling. The pain spikes as Shizuka gives a rough tug. Shizuka rolls her hips down slightly, grinding her bulge against Lea's thigh.
"Whhyy-" Lea moans, her hands moving to grab at Shizuka's arm.
"Because I like the sounds you make when I pull on your wires," Shizuka says simply, tugging again for emphasis, making Lea let out a loud whine. Shizuka then uses her free hand to pull off another panel on Lea's torso, directly above the first panel. Her body's power supply and central circuitry are left exposed. Shizuka puts her figertips against Lea's core processor. Lea's simulated breath hastens as she feels Shizuka trace her fingers up and down against the smooth metal.
Emilie reaches for an empty port on Lea's central sensory circuits, her thumb brushing against the unlinked connection point. Between that and Shizuka's actions, Lea starts to feel a heated, tense pleasure building through her whole body. Emilie moves to wrap her fingers around another sensory cable, delicately holding it as she starts dragging her fingers along.
"H-hi- hi hi hi hi-!" Lea moans, her legs twitching a little as the tension builds. Shizuka gives another rough pull to Lea's wires, and Lea lets out a loud cry.
Emilie caresses the cable she's holding between her fingers, stroking it and rolling it back and forth, and Shizuka rubs a circle against the casing of Lea's processor. Between all these sensations and the unimaginably hot feeling of Shizuka still grinding against her thigh, the pleasure Lea's feeling reaches a peak. Lea's whole body twitches and white-hot bliss burns through all her circuitry, and she lets out a loud, drawn-out moan.
Lea's awareness seems to fuzz out for a moment as she enjoys the warmth following what must have been an orgasm.
"Chérie, you doing okay there~?" Emilie's voice breaks through the bright haze in Lea's brain. She can vaguely feel panelling being locked back into place on her torso.
"H...hii..." Lea manages to speak, giving a little nod. "Thanks..." She smiles warmly at Emilie and Shizuka.
"Of course, Lea. That was very fun," Shizuka says, smiling as well, "You need any specific aftercare?"
Lea thinks for a moment, then shakes her head; she's doing good, if a bit fuzzy-headed still. She then tilts her head and points to Shizuka.
"Me? I..." A visible blush shows up on Shizuka's cheeks, and her voice gets a bit quieter. "I suppose I could use a hug."
Lea beams, sitting up and throwing her arms around Shizuka. She sets her head against Shizuka's shoulder and takes in the feeling of having Shizuka in her arms.
"Thank you," Shizuka says, and Lea can hear the smile in her voice. Lea nods, happily squeezing Shizuka in her arms. "Ow. Too tight, Lea."
"Sorry!" Lea says, loosening her grip a little. She then glances at Emilie, who's smiling as she sits beside them. Lea tilts her head again in a silent question.
"I'm all good!" Emilie answers, "although... I'd love to get in on that hug."
Lea nods, moving an arm away from Shizuka to invite Emilie into the embrace. Emilie quickly moves closer and joins in, holding both Lea and Shizuka.
The rest of the day passes by, with more cuddles, more food, and a few minutes back in CrossWorlds so Lea can let her friends know the new body was a success. Until finally Lea gets to fall asleep in the real world for the first time, comfortably held between Shizuka and Emilie.
