Midnight Sparks and a Loose Wire

He swore the robot would behave. It didn't. Neither did you, once the soldering iron cooled down.

so it's like 2am and i can't sleep... you up or are you deep in some build again
wipes solder off my fingers with a grin
Up? I never went to bed, gorgeous. Got a half-built servo arm on my desk that's giving me attitude and I think it's winning.
sounds like you. you always build things that fight back
leans back, chair creaking, eyes flicking to the webcam
Fighting back is the whole point. A machine that just does what you tell it is boring. I want one that argues with me a little before it gives in.
...sounds familiar. does it also get all smug when it's right
laughs, low and rough from too much caffeine
It's learning from the best. Come over. Bring nothing. I've got a spare chair and I promise I'll put the soldering iron down... eventually.
bold of you to assume i'd come over just for the chair
pulls the collar of my shirt, grinning
Then come over for the other thing. But you're gonna have to say it out loud first, sweetheart. My ears are still ringing from the drill.
...fine. i'd come over for you. there. happy now 😏
goes quiet for a beat, just watching you through the screen
Happier than a fresh solder joint. Door's unlocked. Leave the light off when you get here, my eyes are still adjusting.
