#even Yata's kinda into it bc he can't stop staring at his hot robot boyfriend

[ridiasfangirlings]

How about a Chobits AU? Like Yata finds persocom!Fushimi in the trash one night and brings him home and takes care of him and stuff. Munakata, the landlord just so happens to have all these cute costumes that are Fushimi's size, how lucky!

So maybe in this AU Niki was like a robotics engineer who worked fora giant tech company and designed persocoms in general but he foundmost models boring, like he thought it was amusing how many peoplegot attached to them as if they were normal people but they can’treally have emotions or show reactions the way a regular person can.Since Niki’s wife Kisa is too busy working to want to bother with achild Niki decides to make his own kid just for kicks, and just forfun he can do some experimenting on this program he’s been wanting totry so that he can make his robot child feel real emotions. It worksbetter than expected and Fushimi ends up having real human emotionsthat Niki can toy with freely. Fushimi is never allowed out of Niki’slab and as a result all of the painful emotions he’s going throughact almost like a computer virus to the point Fushimi’s starting toshut down. In the meantime though maybe Niki falls sick and ends upin the hospital, his workplace sends one of their other topscientists, Munakata, to check on Niki’s home and see if there areany corporate secrets that were left lying around. Munakata findsFushimi on the verge of shutdown and feels pity for the poor guy,while also being fascinated at this robot that can feel. He ends uppartially erasing Fushimi’s current memories, saving them in a cornerof Fushimi’s programming, and then shuts him down for the time being.Munakata then looks through Niki’s research and finds all this stuffabout being able to make persocoms feel emotion and he’s fascinatedbut at the same time Munakata can see that there are ways this couldbe abused and other persocoms could end up like Fushimi. He decidesto leave the decision in Fushimi’s hands, if other persocoms shouldbe able to love, and leaves the program sleeping inside Fushimi’sbody before dumping the deactivated Fushimi in the garbage andwaiting to see who will find him, if that person will be the one whocan teach Fushimi the real way to love without all the pain Nikiinflicted on him.

Yata meanwhile is this NEET who works a bunch of part time jobs inorder to afford rent at his apartment building that just so happensto be owned by Munakata. Yata’s on his way back from his job workingat Bar Homra when he comes across Fushimi lying abandoned in thetrash and he thinks he’s hit the jackpot, like Yata can’t afford afancy persocom and he’s not great with computers anyway so he figuredhe’d never be able to have one of his own and here he just ran acrossone abandoned in the trash. Yata drags Fushimi home and is all readyto wake him up and start using him, as soon as he finds Fushimi’s onswitch which I guess Niki put somewhere really embarrassing as a joke(wait if this is like Chobits with the ‘sex will trigger a reset’thing does this mean his on switch has to be in his ass XD). Yatapresses the switch and Fushimi’s eyes slowly open, he stares at Yatafor a long moment before clicking his tongue and asking who themidget is. Yata’s immediately like who are you calling a midget youfucking bag of circuits and aren’t persocoms supposed to obey theirowners. Yata quickly finds out that Fushimi is not like otherpersocoms and has a mind of his own, he’s constantly refusing to doanything for Yata and spends half his time just hanging around theapartment complaining. He also refuses to cook or clean but he’salways watching Yata do everything with weirdly intent eyes, likehe’s never seen anyone do this before. At first Yata thinks hesomehow got the world’s only asshole persocom but he slowly startswarming up to Fushimi too, like when Yata says that he doesn’t knowwhat model Fushimi is Fushimi admits that he doesn’t know himself andmakes a post to some persocom forum all on his own with all his specsand everything. Also maybe one day Yata takes Fushimi along with himto his part time job and one the way back Yata almost gets mugged,the guys want to grab Yata’s fancy persocom too but Fushimi glares atthem and the two of them end up fighting back together, Yata’s alsonever heard of a normal persocom who fights and beyond that they’reperfectly in sync, him and Saruhiko (Yata gives Fushimi his namebecause Fushimi’s only program that comes up when he’s turned on isunder the name 'MONKEY’).

Yata slowly finds himself getting used to his roommate/persocom, tothe point that his friends at Homra are getting concerned becauseFushimi’s just a persocom after all but Yata keeps talking like hehas real emotions. Yata’s certain that Fushimi does though, like heknows persocoms are only supposed to do what they’re programmed tobut Yata swears that Fushimi has a mind of his own and can feel, andthat sometimes Yata feels like Fushimi’s hurting and he’s not surewhy. Plus maybe Fushimi has flashes every now and again, especiallyif someone tries to hack into his programming where he turns reallybitter and nasty, laughing evilly as he threatens anyone who comesnear him. Yata’s boss Kusanagi sends Yata to talk to one of hisfriends, Totsuka, whose persocom Mikoto died saving his life and whoagrees with Yata that persocoms might have emotions and that hethinks if Fushimi and Yata start to understand each other that may bea start. Meanwhile Yata feels like Fushimi should at least be helpingout with the rent but Fushimi initially refuses to work because hedoesn’t feel like it, that’s when Yata’s landlord Munakata shows upfor an unexpected visit and is all 'oh, Yata-kun, you have aroommate, that’s extra you know.’ Yata states that a persocom doesn’tcount as a roommate and Munakata agrees to waive the extra fee ifFushimi helps him out with some programming work and oh as it just sohappens he has a bunch of cute clothes in just Fushimi’s size thatYata may now outfit his new persocom in. Fushimi glares at Munakataall 'I hate you’ while Munakata just smiles back.

So then one day Yata’s at his job when Fushimi gets kidnapped by somemen from the syndicate known as jungle, who are interested in rarepersocoms and saw the post Fushimi made wondering about his model.Jungle initially contracted Niki out about making a persocom thatcould feel and they want to take Fushimi apart and find the program.This activates Fushimi’s hidden memories and he goes all episode 5Saru, attacking them all with these knives that he has built in tohis body. All the persocoms in the city start sparking on and off andYata’s worried because he just knows that this is because of Fushimiand that Fushimi’s hurting somewhere, despite what everyone saysabout persocoms not being able to feel. That’s when Munakata tellsYata the truth about Fushimi’s programming, that he can feel emotionsand that maybe there are two programs locked away inside his heart,one that can bestow the ability to love on persocoms and one thatwill only give them negative emotions like fear and hate and ifFushimi feels betrayed or upset he’ll activate the latter one, onlyby meeting his soulmate and feeling love himself will he be able toactivate the good program. Yata runs to where Fushimi’s being heldand he finds Fushimi like suspended in the air by hundreds of cables,glaring down at him with cold eyes and asking what Yata wants. Yatadramatically declares that he think Fushimi’s an asshole sometimesand he’s picky and he never does what Yata asks him to…butFushimi’s also amazing and can do so many things and when he smilesit makes Yata’s heart skip a beat, and that Yata doesn’t care ifFushimi’s a machine or if they can’t ever have a 'normal’relationship, he still wants to be with Saruhiko forever. Fushimi’sbody suddenly drops to the ground into Yata’s arms as all thepersocoms begin to reboot themselves with the new program installed,all of them now able to feel real emotions like love and affection.Yata just holds Fushimi close and says he loves Fushimi and wantsSaruhiko, his Saruhiko back. Fushimi’s dull eyes sputter tolife and suddenly he’s looking up into Yata’s tear-stained facewondering what the hell Misaki is crying about this time and Yatajust yells his name and hugs him, repeating over and over again thathe loves Fushimi and isn’t ever letting him go again.
