Summary
“Lu Guang,” Cheng Xiaoshi sighs, in utter bliss, “have I ever told you that you’re the best in the world? How could I ever repay you? Tell me right now because I’ll do it, I swear.”
Even from this distance, Cheng Xiaoshi can make out the hint of a smile tugging at the corners of Lu Guang’s mouth.
“Don’t sound too happy yet,” Lu Guang hums.
“How could I not—” Cheng Xiaoshi starts, right before Lu Guang’s skilful thumbs sweep gently upwards, find a divot in his skin, and dig in like hot coals. “OWWW—LU GUANG—ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME BEFORE WE GRADUATE—”
phantasmagoria; noun

Summary
“No,” Lu Guang murmurs. He stares at his hands, and all he sees when he closes his eyes is his palms covered in blood. Cheng Xiaoshi’s slick fingers weakly gripping his own. In this timeline, there is no blood. Nothing has happened that should, and everything has happened that shouldn’t. “It isn’t that,” he finishes.
Silence. An inhale. “Isn’t it?” Cheng Xiaoshi asks. A moment passes. “I told you I loved you, and I’ve never seen you look so sad.”

Summary
Soulmates were people you could rely on, people you could trust to help and support you no matter the circumstance. Sometimes it was romantic; holding hands, sharing lunches, kissing. Other times it was platonic; just being good friends, kind back and forth banter, supporting each other in whatever life throws at them.
But all of that was for people, not MT Units.
...Right?

Summary
He knew that a robot could never really replace a person. They had to be updated in order to learn. Their vocabulary would always be limited to their specific purpose. As for Huggles, she didn’t retain her own warmth, and certainly didn’t need hugs for her own sake. She didn't know what ‘welcome home, Prompto!’ really meant. He just hadn’t anticipated it could be this good to be in the arms of an actual person.
When Gladio spoke, Prompto could feel the rumble in his friend’s chest. “Blondie… how…” Gladio paused, then started again. “When’s the last time you were…”
Held? Like this?
“Dunno,” Prompto mumbled. It was only slightly easier than the truth, which was that he did know, that he remembered because it was the most precious memory of his parents he had.
He had been about eight years old.// Prompto grew up one step outside of the rest of the world, so starved for interaction that he made himself a robot to give him hugs. He was certain he wouldn’t get them anywhere else. But then, he met Noctis, Ignis, and Gladio.
