⠀ !!! ❝You guys are cool, too!❞

⠀ ❝So! *𝑯𝒆𝒉─ ( *𝗴𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘀 ), am I right?❞

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀✎ ⨾ ─ i have too many accounts, hi.

⠀ ❝That’s you! The *𝑺𝒖𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒏 of Rockwell!❞

⠀ ❝Don’t you mean *𝑺𝒖𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒏~?❞

⠀ [Nearly stumbling back, Hogarth laughed and wrapped his arms around the slightly-shorter brunette, blushing harder than before.] ❝Whoa, Clem─!❞

⠀ ❝I─ . . huh?❞ [He’s already blushing.]

⠀ [A few blinks, only to glance up at the robot curiously.] ❝Hey, what’s wrong?❞

⠀ ❝Yep! *𝑺𝑼𝑷𝑬𝑹𝑴𝑨𝑵!❞ [Hogarth exclaimed once more, catching on to the robot’s sudden excitement towards the subject.]

⠀ ❝You tell me! Seems to me you already know the answer.❞ [He teased, leaning forward to plant a light kiss on her forehead before wrapping his arms around her.]

⠀ ❝I usually don’t really remember my dreams, but I 𝙙𝙤 know that ( *𝑺𝒖𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒏 ) was there.❞ [The brunette answered with an all-knowing smile.]

⠀ [Did he . . even know what a *𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎 was? Well, regardless, Hogarth was always up for educating his friend.] ❝Well, dreams are kind of like ( *𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 ) ─ you know, in your head when you’re sleeping. I have them most of the time, but not always.❞

⠀ [Wow, his communication skills were definitely improving! It made his heart happy knowing all of his teachings were taken in by the robot. Giving that toothy grin as a hand moved up to give his digit a gentle pat.] ❝Yeah, I slept alright. What about you? Any dreams?❞

⠀ ❝’Morning, Giant.❞ [He responded softly with a tired smile, prior to a gentle yawn leaving his system. Hopping aboard the hood of an abandoned vehicle, he crossed his legs and beamed up at the robot, happy to know that he’d been fueling himself with metal.]

⠀ [Although the illumination was dim, it was still enough to wash through the boy’s eyelids, causing ocean orbs to slowly flutter open as consciousness sank in. Realizing where he was, Hogarth sat up, stretched out his frame, then dashed outside to greet his robotic companion.]

⠀ [Well, since their visit became overnight rather quickly, the adolescent decided to hit the hay in the comfort of Dean’s shack after watching the robot slowly trudge into slumber. He was still sound asleep on the artist’s couch, blanket wrapped around him like a cocoon.]

⠀ [The brunette mimicked the latter’s actions, expressing the fact that it was completely mutual.] ❝And you’re special to me, too. You, my mom, and Dean are who I care for the most, and nothing could ever change that.❞
