Flesh and Blood: Act 2
The store clerk smiled as Lucas and Ana walked in, she was of course just a Gen-two, but it was common now days to see a robot running the register. She was a feline type with plain grey fur.
"How can I help you today?" the clerk asked them as they approached the desk.
"We are looking for some clothes for my friend here." Lucas said indicating Ana who looked inquisitively at the store clerk.
"What... are you?" she asked the store clerk with that ever so innocent curiosity.
"I am C.A.T. eight hundred, series model one oh one." Responded the clerk "Cat for short" the robot said smiling brightly.
"Ah heh right... Ana lets' see if we can get you some nice clothes to wear. Cat if you can please alert your store fashion advisor please?" Lucas said not really wanting to reveal all too much of the robot world to Ana. The store fashion advisors were never robots; they were always a living being. Cat turned and pressed a button and in a moment a door to the side opened up.
A small and kind of chubby male ferret stood there dressed in a suit, when he walked out there was something odd about him. Of course Lucas deduced that this ferret was most likely into other males.
"Welcome you fabulous people! I am the fashion consultant Kristo at your service!" He said cheerfully with a little bow. Yep indeed he was not heterosexual, judging not only by his voice and tone, but posture, walk, and body language.
"Heh uh... thanks. We are looking to get my friend here into something stylish." Lucas said and ushered Ana forward. Ana of course was wearing Lucas's clothes which were baggy on her, but covered her enough to be decent.
"Oh my, my, my; this will not do hunny!" Kristo said tugging on one of the sleeves of Ana's shirt. Ana shyly stepped back towards Lucas; unsure of this new person talking to her.
"She is a meek one isn't she?" Kristo said to Lucas in a matter of fact tone. Lucas nodded and looked to Ana.
"Its ok Ana, Kristo means you no harm." Lucas gently ushered Ana forward again and Kristo held out his hand. Hesitantly Ana took Kristo's hand and the ferret led her into the try out rooms. After about an hour Kristo came back with Ana, the ferret had four boxes stacked up.
"She looks super in these; will there be anything for you?" Kristo asked handing the boxes to Lucas who took them.
"Um... no thanks; I'm good." Lucas said as he walked to the register and paid for the clothes. He had just purchased the clothes for Ana when he heard a familiar voice.
"So quick to replace me?" Mia said from behind him. Lucas rolled his eyes and turned around. Ana clung to Lucas's arm; the Siamese cat gave the lapin girl a hostile glare. Lucas kept his cool though. He knew that the Siamese would say anything to discredit Lucas in front of Ana.
"You cheated on me Mia, I thought I could trust you and now you want to try and embarrass me?" Lucas said calmly. Mia only snorted with a bit of disgust and swished her tail.
"Only because you cheated on me first; you bastard!" Mia yelled. The whole store was now watching this argument unfold. They were making a scene right in public.
"When did I do that?" Lucas said trying to recall anything that could have remotely been considered cheating.
"One month ago came to your apartment to surprise you, I saw you with another vixen, she hugged you and kissed you on the cheek." Mia retorted angrily. It took Lucas some thought but then he remembered. His cousin Stacy had visited from out of town, she had been in the neighborhood and stopped by Lucas's place and gave him a peck on the cheek.
"That was my cousin Stacy; she was visiting from out of town... you could have asked me about her instead of making assumptions." Lucas said and gave Mia a solid stare. Lucas had this expression that he made, it was when he was adamant on the truth and of course Mia knew that this expression meant that he wasn't lying. Mia gazed back looking for some kind of crack in his expression but could not find any hint of deception.
It was the face that never lied, and Lucas, when serious, could hold it indefinitely. When Mia realized that she was mistaken she looked around. All the people now knew that she had shamed herself. Mia backed up before turning and running out of the store with guilt. Lucas kind of felt sorry that it had to come down to this and that just because of a misunderstanding that Mia had only hurt herself.
He also knew that when he started going out with Mia that she often took things for face value and assumed just a bit too much. Lucas felt a bit sorry for some of the things that he had said previously to her, but he also knew that now Mia had learned a hard lesson.
Lucas looked down to Ana whose ears were perked up with curiosity as she watched Mia depart. Lucas urged that they leave and Ana nodded her head in agreement. That night Ana asked questions about Mia and Lucas of course responded with all honestly. He told Ana about how Mia had a relationship with him and how they broke up. He was a bit unnerved when Ana asked if she was replacing Mia, however, Lucas assured her that she was not a replacement for Mia and that he was taking care of Ana.
When it was time to go to bed, just like the previous times Ana slipped into Bed with Lucas, but this time Ana asked Lucas about what sex was. Lucas was a bit taken aback and he tried his best to explain it.
"Well, sex is when a male and a female, and sometimes those of the same sex have intimate... activities with each other." Lucas said trying not to give Ana too much of an idea of what it was. After all Lucas had generally seen sex with a robot as some kind of abnormal behavior. However Ana was not really a robot was she?
"Is sleeping with someone in the same bed considered an intimate activity?" Ana asked still leaning against Lucas's chest. Lucas thought about it for a bit.
"Sometime it can be, right now you and I are friends and we sleep in the same bed because we trust each other. There are other times where sleeping in the same bed can be called intimate." Lucas responded after careful consideration. Ana nodded in acceptance of his answer.
"Do you think that you could show me some intimate activities sometime?" Ana inquired, Lucas grimaced in the dark. He had been dreading that, however, he still thought that it might be plausible. No, he would have to resist the urge to take advantage of her innocence, not to mention feeling like a robophile.
"Well... we can discuss that at a later time; right now I want you to just trust me." Lucas said leaning his cheek to her head. He felt her nod in understanding and they drifted off to sleep. The morning came and Ana opened her eyes, she felt different this morning than most and she carefully slipped out of the bed. Lucas was still sleeping and he moaned and turned over as the weight of the bed shifted.
Ana quietly made her way out of the room into the kitchen and then there was the sound of a soft chime. Ana looked around, her ears cocking to listen for the source of the sound. It was coming from the door, and Ana made her way to the entrance and looked at the video-screen peep hole that was mounted on the door. Outside was Mia standing there nervously. Ana cautiously opened the door and looked at the Siamese.
"Um... is Lucas home?" Mia asked a bit timidly.
"Yes, he is sleeping." Ana said feeling a little odd talking to Lucas's ex-girlfriend wearing the nightie she had gotten yesterday. Kristo had said she looked good in this sleek pearl colored nightie that was simple yet comfortable.
"Oh, well I can come back later." Mia said and began to leave.
"Wait, if you like... you can come in for breakfast." Ana offered.
Mia stopped and looked back over her shoulder. The Siamese sighed heavily; turning back to face Ana.
"Look can you just tell Lucas that I'm sorry and that I should not have judged him so quickly. I'm a terrible person for what I did, but I want him to know that I should have made a better decision... you treat him good, he's a great guy." And with that Mia left walking off down the hall.
Ana watched her walk away and then closed the door. The lapin was started as she turned around to see Lucas standing there watching her. Ana was about to tell Lucas what Mia told her, but Lucas raised a hand.
"I heard Ana, its ok, maybe if I called her..." Lucas thought for a bit then shook his head.
"I think I'll just give it time." He said nodding and looking to Ana who nodded in agreement. They sat down and ate breakfast silently. After though Ana showed Lucas the outfits she had brought. She had basically purchased two different sets of casual wear, one which consisted of pink colored jeans, and a pink baby-tee shirt which had a pair of white stripes in a V pattern going up the front and back.
The other set was a regular pair of blue faded jeans and a sky blue long sleeve shirt. The nightie Lucas had already seen, but the last two outfits were very formal. One was an elegant red dinner dress with white frills and a string of pearls. The other was a more sophisticated black dress with a V cut up to her right thigh just barely covering the strap of her panty waistband.
Each outfit Ana dressed up in for Lucas; showing it off to him. Lucas smiled and gave kind words of approval to each. It seemed that Ana was starting to show more sentience each day. It was both scary and yet intriguing. Lucas had to wonder if she was fully functional for sex since she had asked about it. Yet he snapped back to his original train of thought. She was an artificial being, just emulating life, not real.
Lucas while nice always seemed a bit distant in demeanor. Ana was still confused on the entire relationship business that had transpired. However, she knew one thing Lucas was a very good person and she felt a bond with him. It had been so difficult for them in the beginning. She felt as though she were a child, and in essence she was, only now she was comprehending herself, before she became aware of herself what had she been?
"Lucas... before I came here what was I?" Ana inquired innocently. Lucas made a specific face; it was the face of thought.
"You were lost and now I'm looking after you." The vulpine answered.
"Can you be more specific?" Ana said undaunted. Lucas again thought for a bit then looked to her
"The doctors that found you entrusted your safety to me." Lucas again said with a vague sentence. Ana wondered if she was amnesic, was that the reason why she could not remember anything prior to being with Lucas. She did not mind being with him, he was a very kind male. She walked up to him and kissed his cheek before leaning her head to his chest.
"Thank you for watching over me." Ana said with gratitude and Lucas nodded with a suppressed sigh and hugged her gently. His arms were warm and strong, Ana felt so safe when she was next to him in this fashion. After Ana put away her new clothes they went about their daily routine. Lucas took Ana out to a movie, she did not fully comprehend it, but Lucas seemed to laugh a lot.
"It's a comedy movie Ana, it was meant to be funny." Lucas told her after.
"So when that wolf got his fur dyed different colors by that cat girl that was funny?" Ana asked, she thought that it was kind of mean for the girl to do that especially since the wolf was not expecting it.
"Yes, she did it because it was harmless and it was to get even for him saying she runs away from weddings." Lucas explained. He watched Ana attempt to formulate thoughts on the matter. Of course she might be able to learn what comedy was. Ana shrugged and decided that it would take more time to understand the full fundamentals of what was funny.
That night Ana acted like she went to sleep and waited till Lucas fell into his usual slumber. Once she was sure he was fast asleep she took time to explore his body. She first felt down his chest and her hand wandered down into his boxers. He slightly stirred and she stopped. Once he seemed still again she felt down further and her hand brushed against his fur covered sheath.
Lucas murmured lightly in his sleep and Ana stopped feeling him. She was curious indeed about him. Then she wondered what she was like, after all she was sure that she was not anything like Lucas. Ana felt her own breasts, Lucas told her she was a female and when describing sex he had said that a male and a female got intimate. Ana moved a hand down to between her legs and felt around.
She felt that there was some kind of opening between her legs, a slit of sorts that when touched made her feel good. She decided to ask Lucas about it tomorrow though and upon feeling satisfied with her curiosity she closed her eyes and went to sleep.
Lucas woke up the next morning and carefully slipped out of bed while Ana still was fast asleep. He went to the living room and sat on the couch thinking about the events of his life. He knew Mia betrayed him out of spite and because she though that he was cheating on her. But yet some part of him was not all too angry at her anymore. He was in a coin toss of thought between calling her and letting those negative emotions fester in his mind.
He felt Ana setting a hand on his shoulder and he sighed softly and placed his hand on hers. He again felt a bit silly that this artificial person was here to be a comfort to him in this strife. Suddenly he felt her hand wander down into his boxer and Lucas just about jumped up and scampered away from the couch.
"Ana!" Lucas exclaimed with surprise. "What are you doing?"
"I was just curious. You told me about intimate activities between a male and a female. You are a male and I am a female." Ana said approaching him and in a very direct manner reached into his boxers and stroked his sheath.
"T-this is too soon..." Lucas protested, but stopped when Ana gave a slight pout.
"You don't want to have sex with me?" Ana asked, her eyes looking as if she was about to tear up. Now Lucas was truly torn in between hard decisions. He would either: tell Ana that he would not have sex with her and risk the girls feeling, if they could be called that. Or he would say yes and he would find out if she was as functional as her creators claimed.
Lucas approached Ana and looked into her eyes and softly he pulled her to his chest in a warm hug.
"I want to let you know that I'm your friend, your guardian, your teacher, but if you really wish to discover an intimacy between us then you must be sure that you truly want that, not just out of curiosity." Lucas said gently in Ana's long lapin ear.
True Ana was curious, but she felt safe with Lucas. Not just because she lived with him, not just because he was taking care of her, but because she felt something different. It was a pressure in her chest; she didn't know how to describe it. Ana nodded and closed her eyes leaning against Lucas.
Lucas turned the lights down as he held Ana's hand leading her into the bedroom. Ana was nervous, but so was Lucas. They both sat down on the edge of the bed and Lucas watched as Ana began to take off her nightie. Lucas was not all too sure about his reaction to her. As far as her form went she was lovely, with a cute face and perfect curves.
Lucas had to try and overcome his mental taboo of having sex with robots. However Ana scooted closer to him and pressed her breasts to his chest. Lucas decided he'd just try and make it work so he kissed Ana on the lips tenderly. Ana's lips were as soft and warm as any girl made of flesh and blood. Ana continued to encourage him her hand moving to pull his boxers down and her hand gently caressing his sheath with warm fingertips.
Lucas could not deny his instincts and his sheath shifted heavily as his penis started to emerge from its hidden confines. Ana was startled, she really didn't know how sex worked; all that she had to go by was what Lucas would show her. Lucas lay Ana back on the bed. The slender tan furred lapin squealed as Lucas gently lifted her legs up and placed them on his shoulders so his head was between her thighs.
Ana felt Lucas's tongue lightly brush against her mound and she gasped as new sensation flowed through her body. Lucas was a bit surprised to see that she was indeed equipped for intimacy. The vulpine slowly sunk his tongue into her to see how far she went, if she was full depth or only simulated. He was pleased to find that his tongue was able to writhe all the way into her slit and he pulled his tongue back.
Ana gasped again as Lucas replaced his tongue with a finger which sank in slowly; she felt him squirm it in her testing her deepness. The lapin girl softly moaned that feeling within her getting stronger and stronger. Lucas pulled out his finger from her and smiled.
"That sensation that you are feeling is called pleasure, do you like it?" Lucas said hotly into her ear. Ana nodded hotly panting lightly as she watched Lucas dip his finger into her again feeling her deep, tight, wet, depths. Ana wailed as she felt his finger arch up to some kind of secret spot with her. Lucas savored the sound of Ana's screams of pleasure; he saw that the scientists had done everything they could to make her as real as possible.
Poor little Ana was being hit with sensations she never knew existed as she felt Lucas not only finger her but his tongue licked over a little nub that was in a hooded portion of her slit. Ana gripped the sheets and cried out sharply as she felt her body jerking with ecstasy.
Lucas was now eager to see exactly how capable Ana was sexually. He pulled his finger out and he moved up now his hand grasping his fully erect member as he moved up letting Ana see what was going to happen. He rubbed the tip of his penis to Ana's soft wet slit and he moaned gently with anticipation of penetrating her. Ana was both frightened and excited, she was not to sure of how this would turn out, but she did not stop Lucas as he began to sink his cock into her slowly.
Lucas watched as Ana squirmed and gasped clinging to the bed sheets as he let her feel him slip into her inch by inch. She was as good as real, he even let out a soft grunt when his cock tip bumped her cervix casing Ana to scream out and her hands clawed at him in lust. Lucas could not deny, Ana could be considered every bit as female as any other girl.
Ana could only helplessly gasp in submission as she felt Lucas pull back over halfway and plunge back into her bumping to her cervix. Ana felt the sensation running through her trembling body and she clung to Lucas as if her life depended on it. Lucas now rolled his hips to Ana's lustfully; his cock throbbing deep within her as he let the pleasure take hold of them both.
Lucas softly nibbled on Ana's left ear causing her to tremble even more and she began to rut back against him as she felt liquids starting to lubricate them both. It felt so right to her; Ana had never felt so complete. This feeling in her was compounded a million times over as she felt Lucas suddenly thrust into her as deep as he could and let out a yelp that sounded like yiff.
Suddenly Ana felt warm fluids pouring into her and she let out an escalating cry of bliss as Lucas unleashed his flood of sperm into her artificial womb. Her senses went crazy as she though she was seeing stars, right bursts of light in front of her as she felt Lucas starting to slacken and then the vulpine sighed and gently slumped against her panting gently.
Ana felt hot wetness mixing within her and she moaned gently as she felt Lucas roll over so that Ana could rest atop him. She sighed gently listening to his heart beat. It was so strong, thumping within his chest and she closed her eyes falling into a post intercourse slumber.
Lucas woke up a bit later, it was the middle of the afternoon and he was hungry. Ana had rolled off him and was peacefully slumbering. He tucked the blankets around her and she moaned lightly before she settled back into her restful state. He quietly got dressed and wrote a note for Ana on the kitchen table. He felt like it was a special occasion and thus he wanted to get something special. Lucas stepped out to get food for them both.
Ana woke up and softly moaned in the warmth of the surrounding blankets, she also noticed it was quiet, ever so quiet. She sat up and she looked around seeing that Lucas was not around. Ana carefully climbed out of bed and having the sheets wrapped around her she made her way to the kitchen.
She read the note and smiled knowing that Lucas would be back, but she felt as though she needed to prepare for his return. She returned the sheets to the bedroom and put on some casual clothes. Ana made her way back to the kitchen and got to setting the table.
Again Ana felt that there was something amiss. She tried to put her finger on it; she stood still with the set of forks and knives in her hands. She heard the clock ticking, she heard the buzzing of the lights overhead, then came a realization. She was not hearing the beating of her own heart.
At first Ana thought she might be dreaming and she pinched herself to make sure. She did not awaken, it was undeniable; she was already awake. She felt her chest for her heart beat, but there was nothing. Ana even realized that she was not breathing.
Panic gripped the lapin and she dropped the utensils feeling her body. She tried to inhale and she did, but she exhaled and held that function to see when she needed to take in another breath. One minute passed, then two, three, four, five minutes. Ana was on the brink of ten minutes when she finally decided that she really didn't need to breathe.
Ana was hysterical now and she felt her arm, she felt skin and flesh under her fur, it was warm and firm. Then Ana's eyes glanced to the knife on the floor; it gleamed to her tauntingly as if urging her to pick it up to put her to the test. With shaking hands Ana picked up the knife.
Lucas whistled happily as he walked down the hallway towards his apartment door. He carried the bag of food in one hand and his other hand fished for his apartment keys in his pocket. Lucas's train of merriment was broken by a sudden shrill scream that came from his apartment. Lucas dropped the bag of food and rushed to the door fumbling for his keys hastily.
He got the key in the lock and with panic opened the door. There was Ana sitting on the kitchen floor with her back turned to him. There was some kind of white clear fluids that had spilled on the floor, it seemed almost milky. A discarded knife was off to Ana's side dripping with the same liquids that was on the floor.
"Ana! Are you alright?!" Lucas said running over to her. He gasped seeing that Ana had made a jagged cut in her left arm from her wrist halfway up her forearm and bits of silicone optical cable hanging out, and sustaining white lubricant was oozing from the wound. Lucas gasped at the sight, but what made him even more shocked was when Ana looked up to him with tears in her eyes.
"Ana..." Lucas said kneeling down next to her; then looking at her self inflicted injury.
"I... I'm... not real..." Ana said trembling; she then burst into a river of tears flailing all her limbs around as if trying to get away from Lucas. Lucas tried to calm her down to no avail.
"No! Get away from me! I'm a monster! A monster!" Ana screamed out at Lucas. Lucas was at a loss at what to do, he tried to restrain her, but she just struggled to scamper away. Finally Lucas had no other choice but one.
"Pygmalion!" Lucas yelled and Ana instantly went limp and unconscious.
When Ana woke up she was restrained and she felt some kind of cold object pressing to the back of her left ear. Her eyes glanced around franticly, her eyes looked to the left and there she saw Lucas sitting next to her, his hand stroking over her hand.
"Don't worry Ana we will make you better... I promise." Lucas said, as Professor Solaski stood behind the fox looking over the damage done to Ana's arm.
Ana closed her eyes and wept silently. Lucas watched the gauges on the diagnostics screen spike. He truly was sorry that Ana had discovered such a horrible truth. She was a doll and nothing more. However, no matter what Lucas vowed to comfort the poor creature that he had now learned to love.
