"I... I almost got picked off. I was laying low," Elyta says, standing his ground while the gang leader and two of his toughest cronies emerge from the shadows and advance on him. He's not going to pretend he's not terrified of these guys, though.
"Bullshit! That was months ago!" the leader says, and Elyta flinches when he raises his voice, "One of my guy says he saw a human girl hanging around your place. Real pretty, too. That your distraction?" Elyta stiffens but doesn't answer, not about to tell the truth about Ajax. It's better if the gang thinks he's just been spending time with a date, anyways. Easier.
"Doesn't matter. I'm only gonna say this once, so listen close: you get me something, and soon, or you can kiss that pretty little girl goodbye," the gang leader pauses, reaching around Elyta to grab his wing and the covering, crushing them both in a painful grip, "Got it?" Elyta gasps and whimpers in pain, nodding frantically, until the leader releases his wing.
"Yes, yes, absolutely, I'll get you something," he says, his voice high pitched and trembling from pain and fear.
After that he's dismissed, and he runs all the way back to his apartment, not able to relax until he's inside and leaning back against the door. As soon as he leans back he remembers his injured wing and gasps and swears, tilting forward and running both hands back over his head. He needed to find something, and he needed to find it now.
Without casting a glance at Ajax he stumbles over to his desk, flicking on the monitors and collapsing into the chair. He starts browsing through the local news feeds, but he can barely comprehend anything he's reading, and he certainly can't focus enough to figure out what would be a great object to steal and get him out of trouble.

"Hello Elyta," he repeats, assuming Elyta hadn't heard his first greeting. However, when he looks him over, he can tell something is definitely amiss.
"...You are upset," he says, before noting his crumpled wings, "And injured. Query: Will first aid be required? Query: What caused this? Elyta."
He touches Elyta's wings tentatively and gently, looking them over.
"Error: limited knowledge on your species' physiology. Unable to administer medical care without further instruction."

"Sorry, Ajax," he says, leaning heavily on the desk, "I'm... I'm okay, just a little... Frazzled." He takes a deep breath and then looks over his own shoulder. The outer covering of his wing is unharmed, but the right wing beneath it is crumpled, and slowly Elyta moves to extend it, grimacing the whole time.
"It's fine," he gasps out when his wings are fully extended and mostly straight, though the right one is still a little crooked. He realizes distantly that Ajax touched his wings, however briefly, and has to fight to keep his wings still. Maybe the gang leader wasn't all that far off in his assumptions about what Ajax was to Elyta; because more than anything, he didn't want them coming after Ajax because of his own screw up.

"Elyta," he says softly, his mechanical voice low and gentle, "You are injured. I want to help. Please, allow me to analyze your wounds."
no subject
"Yeah... Yeah, okay. I'm fine though, I swear, just a little... Bruised," he says quietly, doing his best to relax as he turns his injured wing, still outstretched, towards Ajax.
"I... was summoned by... Some people I work with, sometimes. They were concerned that I... hadn't provided any stock recently. They were... a little forceful," he explains while Ajax examines him.

"Access to full length of wingspan inhibited by clothing," he says, "Please remove your shirt."

Truthfully, he's been aching for Ajax's touch in an intimate way like this, but that wasn't something he could consider asking for, not when he hadn't even been able to give Ajax a straight answer on the nature of personal romantic relationships.
The pain starts to fade as soon as Ajax uses the gel on him, leaving him to only feel the sensations of Ajax's synthetic skin touching the sensitive membrane of his wings. His wings attempt to flutter and press closer to Ajax, but Elyta pulls them back closer to his body, immediately mortified and glad that Ajax wasn't familiar with the body language of wings. If he had done that in the presence of anyone from his home planet, his desire for Ajax would have been crystal clear.

"You are anxious," he says softly, "I suggest that you engage in some stress relieving activities."
He remembers something he had discovered that his hardware could do, something that he hadn't been able to understand the purpose of, but from data he had gathered about other machines when he had access to Earth's internet databases, he guessed it served something like the purpose of a human back massager. He wondered if it would give Elyta any similar sort of relief.
"Here," he says, "Hold still. I would like to try something that might help."
He plants his hands on Elyta's shoulders, just above the base of his wings, and begins to vibrate his hands as he strokes and squeezes the muscles around that area of his back.
no subject
"A-Ajax, you don't... I'm... I'm fine. Relaxed," he said, his voice muffled through his hand as he looked at Ajax with wide eyes. He thought his lie was transparent enough that even Ajax would be able to catch on, but he didn't need to tempt fate by receiving a vibrator massage from the robot he'd been harboring secret and confusing feelings for.

"You are...sexually stimulated by my actions," he says, surprised, his hands still buzzing quietly, "This result was...unexpected."
He thinks for a moment, then, hesitantly, adds, "...Sexual activity is also a viable source of stress relief."
no subject
"No, that's... Okay, yes, that's true, but that's, uh... Something I can... Take care of myself. It's... ah, it's personal, okay?" Elyta attempts to explain, unable to stop his wings from fluttering the whole while, as they're still tingling from the attentions earlier, and even just them shifting against his back is almost too much.

"Elyta," he says, pausing for a moment to choose his words, "This platform is intended for such uses. I am interested in utilizing it for its intended purpose on you. I believe it could be mutually beneficial."
He looks down at his hands, which were still buzzing, and flicks them off.
"...I am having difficulty speaking about this in the same romantic conversational tone that they use in your films. I do not fully understand the relational implications this kind of activity denotes, so I am uncertain of the affect this conversation is currently having on our relationship."
He folds his hands together, and, for some reason, finds it difficult to look at Elyta.
"That...makes me nervous. I think. This is the first time I have felt this."
Re: i intend to satisfy you
"I'm... nervous, too," Elyta admits, scratching the back of his neck, "I mean I've... never done anything like that with... Anyone. I don't know... What it would do to our, um, friendship, like you said. But I... I trust you, Ajax," Elyta admits, looking away from Ajax. He's quiet for a moment, and when he speaks again his voice is trembling a little from nerves.
"You said it would be, um, mutually beneficial? What, uh, what would you... Get out of it? I mean, do you, ah... Um. Do you have..." Elyta trails off, unable to put the idea of Ajax receiving sexual pleasure from genitals into words.
Re: i intend to satisfy you
He keeps his hands folded politely as he speaks, only glancing up at Elyta briefly.
"It would also be rewarding to fulfill this directive with you specifically."
Re: i intend to satisfy you
"Me, specifically?" Elyta echoes, surprised by this, "Why me specifically? I'm nothing special, I mean... In that sense. I haven't even... done that sort of thing, with someone else, sex VI or no. If you're curious about... About sex, or, or dating or anything like that, there's plenty of other people who... Who know about that. More than me, I mean." Elyta's wings flutter again as he looks away, then moves a few steps back and sits down on the bed.
"Lying and stealing, I'm an expert teacher. Sex? Not so much," he says, attempting a joke but it seems to fall flat.
Re: i intend to satisfy you
"Clarification: I did not mean that it would be rewarding experience due to your experience level with such activities, but for...who you are to me. In human culture, this is ideally an activity that is shared with someone important to you. In my systems, you are ranked as a top priority, coming in slightly above self-preservation."
He grips his knees.
"...Simplifying language. You are very important to me."
Re: i intend to satisfy you
"I'm... glad," he ventures eventually, looking at his hand over Ajax's, "You're... very important to me, too. I've never... felt this close to anyone else." Elyta swallows again, his wings fluttering nervously at his back.
"We can... We can try it. If you're sure."
Re: i intend to satisfy you
"Some...instruction may be necessary," he says, breaking apart briefly, "There are no files on how to stimulate your species in this platforms original coding -- I mean, I...don't know what I'm doing."
Re: i intend to satisfy you
"My, ah, my wings," Elyta says, already starting to breath heavily, "They're very... sensitive. It's... an intimate gesture, on my planet. Touching wings. It... It can feel... Amazing." Elyta's wings flutter while he speaks, as if in anticipation. He'd only touched himself that way before, rubbing his wings against his back while he'd masturbated, and he wasn't quite sure what to expect from another's touch.
Re: i intend to satisfy you
"Is this acceptable?" he asks, pulling back to observe Elyta's face for a reaction.
Re: i intend to satisfy you
He nods to Ajax's question, unable to speak his response as he's biting down too hard on his bottom lip to manage it. His wings beat softly against Ajax's hands, fluttering and shifting, as if hungry for more stimulation.
Elyta can't do much but try to return the kisses and hold on, too distracted and dizzy by the touches to do anything else.
Re: i intend to satisfy you
"Would you...like me to remove my clothing as well?" he asks, "I am...uncertain of your opinion on this platform's physical appearance."
Re: i intend to satisfy you
"I... like it," Elyta says, his hands coming up to caress Ajax's sides, "I like that it's you." That part slips out without Elyta meaning to, and he bites his lip after he says it.
"Should I... Do you want me to touch you too?" Elyta asks, somewhat unsurely. His wings flutter against the bed, making him gasp and arch his back.
Re: i intend to satisfy you
He wedges Elyta's pants down, and stands up to pull them off the ends of his legs, as well as slide his own pants down and slip out of them, before climbing back on top of him and kissing him soundly. He rubs his hands over the length of his wings a few more times, before pulling back to look at him.
"How...should we continue?" he asks quietly.
Re: i intend to satisfy you
"Oh, ah, well, you can..." Elyta starts, and then pauses, unsure how to describe what he liked in words, "I'll just..." He reaches down between his legs, rubbing his fingers over a thin slit that starts at the front of his groin and runs down between his legs. His skin there is softer and thinner than it is at other places, more sensitive, and when he parts the slit the flesh inside is soft, damp and dark blue. He fingers at the soft skin inside, moaning softly, and after a moment or two of stimulation the slit stays open without Elyta holding it.
"I usually... use my fingers," he says, his voice shaking, "Inside. I'm not... that good at it, though."
Re: i intend to satisfy you
After a few strokes, he becomes more deliberate, applying pressure to the walls of his opening and setting the vibrator on a higher setting.
"Like this?" he asks, keeping steady eye contact with him as he pushes another finger inside of him.
Re: i intend to satisfy you
"Yeah, yeah, that's--" he cuts himself off with a louder moan, struggling to keep eye contact with Ajax as he writhes. There's something alluring and entrancing about looking into Ajax's eyes, despite the slightly artificial hue, just odd enough that Elyta knows he's not looking at an organic being's face, but it doesn't matter at all, because it's all Ajax.
"Good," he finishes finally, his voice taking on a high-pitched breathy quality, "So good, Ajax."
Re: i intend to satisfy you
"Good," he says, somewhat mechanically, and he leans forward to mouth at Elyta's neck and chest and rub his free hand over his wings as he makes the motions of his hands faster and more deliberate.
"...I enjoy the sight of you like this," he remarks calmly.
Re: i intend to satisfy you
"I-I like you watching me like this," Elyta says, somewhat deliriously, as he plants his feet on the bed and presses his hips up into Ajax's hand.
"Ajax--ah--" he moans, his voice gaining in volume, "I-- I'm gonna come."
Re: i intend to satisfy you
"Good," he repeats, "I want you to do it. Let me watch."
He fucks him harder with his hand, keeping the same rhythm as before, his eyes now glued to Elyta's face.
Re: i intend to satisfy you
"Ah... wow," Elyta pants, still trembling as he throws an arm over his face and tries to catch his breath.
Re: i intend to satisfy you
"I have satisfied the directive required by this platform's original coding. This has been a rewarding exercise," he says, robotically but still somewhat thoughtfully, "...However, this platform does not contain instructions for acceptable post-coital activities."
Re: i intend to satisfy you
"Ah, well, we could just... lay here for a little while. Or do something we, y'know, usually do. Watch a movie or something," Elyta says, lowering his arm and tentatively reaching out to wrap both his arms around ajax in a loose embrace.
"Is there, ah... Anything I can do for you?" Elyta asks, blinking up at Ajax. He knew Ajax didn't have the same organic systems of pleasure, but he hoped that there would be some other way he could make Ajax feel good, too.
Re: i intend to satisfy you
"It is rewarding to complete this platform's directive," he says, somewhat quietly, "Other than that...I cannot currently think of any of my functions that could be stimulated to mimic a sensational experience."
He says it a little bit sadly, as watching Elyta in throes had heightened his curiosity about what it would feel like to be able to experience touch. He runs his hands over Elyta's skin, wondering what it would feel like, with no baseline to even begin to imagine it.
Re: i intend to satisfy you
"I'm sorry," he says, wishing he had a way to make Ajax feel as good as Ajax had made him feel, "There's... Robots with simulated nerves, right? Maybe we could... work on getting you some hardware like that. Maybe something that would act more like a real body, instead of... a repurposed sex doll." Elyta smiled at Ajax, squeezing him a little. Such hardware was no doubt expensive, but then, Elyta was an accomplished thief.
