It's Pride Month! What better time to start writing gay little robot fics!

For background, Atlas is my oc and The Spine belongs to SPG and it's creators.

First Kiss

They've gone on several dates at this point, only half of them unsupervised or not stalked by The Spine's siblings, but the two of them pretend they don't know about either of those two things. It's a lovely sunny day and they'd chosen to take a walk through Balboa Park for this particular date.

Not many people were around on account of it being the middle of a work day and those that were, were unperturbed by the two automatons. Spine's silver plating reflected the sun and Atlas couldn't help but admire the beauty of the taller. Their pinkies were linked between them, arms swaying gently as they walked.

The intermittent shade of the trees they walked by helped them not overheat in the summer sun and soon they passed a cart that was selling bottled drinks. They stopped by it and The Spine bought two bottles of water, handing one to Atlas once he paid.

They found a bench in the shade of a large tree and sat down to drink. "It's been a while since I've been at the park for anything other than our performances," The Spine commented, unscrewing the bottle cap.

"It is a lovely day to not be working for a change," Atlas answered, tired but in a good way. He tried to undo the cap on the bottle, but the rust in his hand joints made the fine motor control a bit of a challenge.

Spine noticed him struggling somewhat and held his hand out, palm up, as an offer to help him. Atlas lets out a quiet sigh and steam vents from his cheeks in slight embarrassment, but he holds the bottle out to Spine to unscrew the cap.

He gave a thankful nod to Spine and both of them started drinking the water, filling their boilers and feeling relief wash over them when the water cooled their systems. Perhaps they should slow down for a few moments.

They talked for a while, careful of too blatant displays of affection. Atlas wasn't much bothered by his bisexuality or who witnessed it, but The Spine was a little more secretive about his masculine partners. He wasn't embarrassed of them or anything, just a little less forward and Atlas respected that.

With that being said, as the sun started slowly drifting off the horizon and it turned to dusk, Spine had shifted, as if his joints ached or something, and placed his arm on the bench behind Atlas' shoulders. Atlas gave him a smile that conveyed he knew what The Spine was doing, but he shifted to lean into his side anyway.

They sat there for a while after that, watching the lights come on and the people milling about start heading home. They should probably head back to the Manor as well, but they were comfortable for the time being.

A light nearby in the park turned on, casting through the leaves of the tree above them and leaving them in an ethereal glow. Their eyes connected and they felt as if time slowed down, leaving just them in this bubble they resided in.

The Spine leaned closer, Atlas closed his eyes, their lips met in the middle, soft, chaste and sparking lightning in their minds. They stayed close together when they parted, holding onto the moment so they could process it.

Both of them were venting steam heavily, flustered or shy, neither of them were sure. The light from their eyes reflected in the steam and both of them moved in for another kiss, a little longer this time, silicone lips soft and inviting.

They'd both be beet red if they had the ability to blush. This time, when they parted, Spine held out his hand in an offering, and Atlas accepted it. They walked back to Walter Manor, hand in hand with wide smiles and a shy look about their eyes.
