"Wait, this position is..." John trailed off with a whimpering shudder as he slid down. His mouth dropped as he titled his head back to look up at the plain ceiling of his room. He could barely take a breath at the filled sensation that shot through his torso. His vision was swimming a little, the air making his eyes water as he forgot to blink. He took the hands Lin offered, linking their fingers and pressing palm to palm as he gripped tightly. Lin's arms were stiff, allowing John to brace himself. He could barely force himself to look down. He felt so vulnerable and exposed as he straddled Lin's hips, his length pressing deep inside. His breath quivered, a whimper breaking free as he squirmed. Lin's gaze softened as he squeezed John's trembling hands.

"You have more control in this position," he excused breathily, enjoying the sight of John spread open across his pelvis. He helped John up a little, taking the weight that leaned on his arms as he eased forward. He let John work his hips slowly as he tried to find a good position. It seemed he was a little less experienced at being on top, especially when sober. The vulnerability was rolling off him in waves. Lin gave his hands an assuring squeeze and softened his expression. "You're doing fine," he added gently as he met John's soft blue gaze.

The look John gave him said he disagreed. Lin leaned back further against the pillows, raising his knees to give John a sort of backrest that he could use for support and leverage. John rose higher, giving Lin enough room to circle his hips up. He moaned in surprise as Lin rocked into him, his grip tightening as his cheeks flushed. Lin remained relaxed, if a little dazed, while watching John timidly ride him. As he scanned John's vitals, he found that this experience was doing little for him satisfaction-wise. That was something he wanted to change. Lin circled his hips in calculation. He already knew all of John's spots and how to find them at various angles.

"Ah! There!" John cried as Lin jerked up, his body tensing as Lin's length dragged across his prostate. Lin remained pressed close, easing John down with him, keeping him in the right position. He remained still, enjoying the way John squirmed against him as he tried to find that spot again. He supported John as he rose and fell against him, but his build-up was slow. He often missed the mark, whining in frustration as he rocked and writhed. "Lin, please help," he whined as he missed again. He didn't know how it was so effortless for Lin. He wrecked him every time, and he never needed help or guidance on where to touch.

"Alright, hold on to me," Lin instructed softly as he lowered his hands to John's slim hips. John did as he was told, reaching back to brace himself against Lin's strong knees. Lin looked up, enjoying the bare expanse of pink flesh on display. It was already peppered with small red marks from heated nips and kisses. The only imperfections were the dark patches on his neck, the circles almost mocking Lin as he glared at them. He snapped his hips up, enjoying the mewls of John's moaning as he hit the mark. Sparks of pleasure shot through John's core, coming out in needy little whines as he squeezed Lin's knees.

Lin was careful as he worked, monitoring John carefully for signs of increased stress. He was pleased as John whimpered a request for more. Lin pulled him low and cradled him against his chest as he rocked up. John shuddered and came, unable to last too long with Lin's relentless thrusts. Lin wasn't surprised. Humans didn't have an endless amount of stamina, and they'd barely kept their hands off each other for the past few days. He allowed his own release to follow, finding himself reluctant to leave the warmth of John's body. John certainly didn't seem to mind. He remained limp against Lin's firm chest. Lin could feel each tired breath and racing heartbeat against his artificial skin.

They eventually got up and dressed. Lin prepared breakfast while John showered, the GT300 appearing briefly to say he'd opened the shop and David was downstairs. He'd hidden the RG600 in the store room, doing his best to keep David out front. They didn't want to risk stressing the RG600 or having him hurt David through fear. John almost sighed upon hearing about David's arrival. He knew he'd have to cover his neck. There was no way his friend would let it pass without comment. He'd also need an excuse for the RG600 being there, and for leaving to take it back to the skatepark. I usually have GT300 do the drop-offs...

"Morning," John greeted cheerfully as he entered the shop, a dark rollneck covering his abused skin. David clearly thought nothing of it as he returned the cheerful greeting. He shot John an almost smug look as Lin appeared, content not to hide the red mark John had somehow managed to leave on his own skin during their lovemaking, though it wouldn't remain for more than a few minutes. John flushed and looked away, managing to stammer out something about a drop off as he ushered the RG600 through. His LED flickered red briefly as he caught sight of the new human, but Lin stepped in to block David's view of his terrified face. "We'll be back later," John added as he opened the door and allowed the RG600 and Lin to step out first. Lin was carrying another backpack of thirium, enough to tide the RG600s over for a few days at least. David called a goodbye after them and went back to tidying the store with the GT300.

They walked to the park this time. John didn't think the RG600 was up to running, and he wouldn't react well if they were stopped by the police. He seemed more relaxed outside, enjoying the fresh air as they walked down the street. The only time he seemed stressed was when other humans appeared. John would often lead the way across the street in order to avoid direct contact. At the edge of the park, John could see the other RG600 waiting. He tottered excitedly as he saw them coming, caught between wanting to meet them and wanting to remain in his safe space.

"Alive! Yes? Fixed! Yes?" he babbled with a mixture of anxiousness and excitement as the group drew nearer. He seemed almost hesitant as he watched the other android approached, unsure he would be pleased to see him. He needn't have worried. As soon as he was close enough, his twin stepped forward to embrace him tightly. They both looked unbelievably happy as they clung tightly to each other, saline filling their eyes as they nuzzled and checked each other over.

"We had to use a replacement body, but your friend's software remained intact," John replied with a nod, feeling a flood of warmth as he watched the units embrace. They stepped back a little, raising their hands to press them together almost intimately. John watched curiously as their skin drew back, blue glowing between their palms. They froze as they connected, smiles warm as they finally drew back. John flushed, unsure he should have watched such a personal exchange.

"I don't know how to thank you, human. You-have done much for-us!" the first RG600 stammered in an almost tearful tone as he gripped his partner's hand tightly. The other RG600 looked grateful and content as well, pleased as his mirror image leaned his head on his shoulder. John replied with his usual flustered embarrassment, insisting they didn't need to thank him at all.

"Here, I have more thirium...It should last you both a few days," John said as he opened the backpack and handed two plastic bags to the androids. "Don't stay here too long. You should find somewhere safer," he advised worriedly, his concern striking a chord with the androids. They thanked him again before leaving hand in hand. John felt Lin take his own hand as they watched, the smooth cold feeling telling him he'd drawn back his synthetic skin layer. John gripped tighter. "What's it like?" he asked finally, breaking the silence that had fallen between them.

"What?" Lin asked curiously as John continued to watch the two units disappear.

"Linking like that...interfacing," John clarified, finally turning to look up at Lin as the RG600's continued on their way. Lin pondered the question, idly raising John's hand in a similar manner to the RG600s. Blue glowed between their palms as static sparked John's palm. Lin enjoyed the feeling, closing his eyes to focus on the blood rushing through John's cold fingers. They were still warm compared to his plastic casing, but the weather had lowered their temperature.

"It's quite intimate...When we fully interface, we share everything. We become one being for a time...It's more than sharing thoughts and feelings..." Lin replied, though he knew the human before him would never understand. The knowledge that he could never experience such a thing with John left a dull ache in his chest cavity. He supposed it was disappointment or sadness.

"Is it...sexually intimate?" John asked curiously, Lin nodding his agreement as he considered.

"It can be...Deviants often interface to share intimate contact. It can be like a kiss or...something more," he added almost evasively. He'd never interfaced with anyone in that sense, only to exchange information. Upon activation, he'd been a family unit and since then he'd found John. The only times he'd interfaced with another android had been to share information or help with maintenance. There was a clear difference between the two types of interface. He felt John gasp as a stronger shock sparked between them. He looked almost a little sad himself as he pressed his palm more firmly.

"I'd interface with you..." John murmured, his cheeks heating a little as Lin stroked his head.

"Thank you," he replied affectionately, eventually tugging his human along beside him. They walked slowly as they headed back to the shop, losing themselves in each other's company.
