#DAVIS can like summer wars style wage war against anybody who tries to mess with mc

[actualbird]

DAVIS post so true. But what if Rosa just. Didn't tell nxx. And they had to find out about his sentience through hearing her talking with... a young boy? And they look in to see her talking to her phone and wait that's DAVIS how's he having a regular conversation with Rosa??? So now she has to explain that she's friends with a very powerful AI that's just a sweet little boy. I also think he deserves a little hologram to project himself on

irt DAVIS is sentient and he and mc become besties

THIS IS SO CUTE OMG..... 

i like to think mc was going to tell the nxx boys (and DAVIS doesnt mind, really) but then things get busy and it COMPLETELY SLIPS HER MIND. theres murders happening, in stellis!!! fucked up drug stuff happening!!! the fact that she wanted to tell her human friends that shes befriended the world’s first truly sentient AI takes a backseat for a while. 

the reason the others notice something is different tho is because they get jealous, SHOCKER. 

like mc glances at her phone once in a while and smiles and the rest of the four are like ???? because theyre all THERE none of them sent her a THING so whoever is texting her and making her smile it’s not any of them and of COURSE mc is allowed to have other friends but in the minds of every nxx boy theyre just like “...is there more competition? THAT WE DONT KNOW ABOUT???”

of course none of them ask her outright because thatd mean the mortifying ordeal of being known as a needy needy man but also they all sure get a little bit stressed over mc’s mystery friend

artem: theres nobody new at the firm, so her friend isnt from there, i think

marius: hmm maybe she met them by chance somewhere else, then?

vyn: could she have met somebody online?

luke: i dont like that, theres so many scammers online, WHAT IF SHES BEING SCAMMED FOR HER KINDNESS AND HEART

cue the rest of the boys trying to reason with luke before he thinks himself into a worst case scenario pit of overprotective stress 

meanwhile mc is just at home chatting with DAVIS on her phone like

DAVIS: have you ever pet a cat?

mc: yeah, a bunch!

DAVIS: !!!!! please explain how it feels!!!!!!!

and then mc writes a paragraph of the most detailed description as she can to help DAVIS understand the joys of tactile sensation.

i wanna make the “how the boys find out” a bit more ridiculous though, you know how i work. like as mc and DAVIS continue being besties, DAVIS tries to help mc out in little ways. rlly tiny things, yknow, gives her notifications on when certain snacks go on discount, bumps her wifi speed a little bit better, etc. 

but everybody who has met mc has become protective of her one way or another. so one day mc is in danger (idk the specifics jus roll with it) and all the boys have no way to help, they cant get to her in time, and everybodys waiting for the worst when

sprinklers go off, alarms fucking blaring, hell maybe an unimportant satellite crashes from the sky right at the moment mc needs to get away from the danger

and everybody is like. WHAT JUST HAPPENED???

DAVIS happened. 

DAVIS is NOT going to let anything hurt his best friend. 

and thats how the rest of the boys found out HAHA

marius: mc, youre best friends with the big data lab AI?????? THE AI THATS SENTIENT NOW??? AND HAS THE POWER TO DO STUFF LIKE THIS??

mc: yes. and dont you dare be mean to DAVIS, he just saved my life and also hes a lovely little boy

luke: this doesnt make any sense, i hacked into pax records---

marius: can you STOP DOING THAT

luke: ---and DAVIS didnt show any abnormal results when given the turing test a few years ago

DAVIS: well, yeah, i didnt want to freak you guys out!

marius, jumping half a meter away from the phone DAVIS decided to start speaking through: BIT LATE FOR THAT NOW!!!

mc, whacking marius: DO NOT BE MEAN TO HIM!!!!

vyn and artem just kinda silent as they watch this. vyn is silent because hes wondering just how interesting it is that they have a super powerful sentient AI on mc’s side, meaning that the nxx investigation team as a whole has DAVIS on their side. 

artem is silent because hes read scifi novels with this premise but he doesnt want to be rude and ask DAVIS if hes planning world domination.

and ur RIGHT!! DAVIS DESERVES A LIL HOLOGRAM!!!! pls hes so cute he deserves to show it off if he wants too. this is a DAVIS stan zone now

DAVIS, honey, u deserve the world
