Atomic Hearts

(Japan x Android!Reader)

Chapter 1

Hey everyone! I just wanted to apologize on how late this chapter is…..seriously. I’ve been going through some continuous medical issues since Summer began and have recently been discharged from it all (thank goodness). Anyways, I want to get a great start on this along with my other stories! Thank you for being so patient so without further ado, Atomic Hearts.

The Uncanny Valley

The smell of gas hung in the air, it’s strong yet pungent scent causing my nose to scrunch up slightly. It reminded me too much of the city, I didn’t like it, it made me miss my small countryside abode.

 

“Mr. Honda, I do believe that we can change the world with this.” I stared at the man besides me, his aged voice bringing my attention back to him. Oddly enough his words couldn’t keep me from shivering slightly, we were doing God’s work after all.

 

“How much longer?” I questioned, my voice trembling slightly, I was beyond excited but at the time fearful, this was illegal work until the ambassador took a liking to it and as of late, he detested the idea of human like machines; a mockery in his opinion. My colleges and I thought otherwise, it seemed exciting and innovative we wanted to push the human mind and limits, to see how long we could last with ambiguity.

 

“I’d say by tonight or early tomorrow. Would you like to see it?” I nodded a little too quickly for comfort; I’d like to see what we’d created. I pressed my fingers against my face in wonder before rushing behind him, he spoke up and described how far along she was and what she was still in need of. “She’s a bit talkative for our liking, very intrigued by us and would like to know everything. As expected from a computer.” We both laughed, although I knew that underneath those spine tingling cackles there was an onset of fear about what I was about to see. “Watch your step Mr. Honda.” I nodded once more and we entered the room, small and somewhat cramped in the corner sat a women in a white lab coat and a younger women who was smiling, eyes somewhat empty and lifeless as if watching her every move.

 

“Why hello there A2237.” The young women quickly turned to us, her already dull eyes widened slightly, reminding me of a human. Although I knew she wasn’t one, I couldn’t help but contemplate weather or not she was a girl stolen off the street. “This is Mr. Honda.” I blinked a few times, realizing I wasn’t the only one in the room once again.

“…..computing…..computing……comp—hello Kiku Honda, aged twenty nine years.” My mouth gapped open in surprise, she was capable of researching data straight from the internet? “Son of Mai Hara and Takashi Honda.” She continued, I turned to the older woman whom was quickly typing away what I guessed to be progress while Tim silently watched.

 

“Hello A2—“

 

“You can call her (f/n), she took a liking to it once we asked her.”

 

“Hello (f/n). Do you know who I am?” Tim pulled the tie around his neck softly trying to gain my attention but I ignored the man. The girl’s eyes blinked softly, a warm hue of lime green shot around her iris’ as if she was computing yet again. A look of confusion was stuck on her face, dumbfounded she responded.

 

“Kiku Honda as said before. You are Kiku Haruto Honda are you not?” The girls lips slowly moved downwards as I shook my head.

 

“Yes, but do you know who I am to you?” I spoke out emphasizing the ‘to’.

 

“I do not understand the question. You are one of my creators.” I nodded and turned over to Tim.

 

“Bella, be sure to put all of that in today’s journal, I don’t want to miss anything.” The smiling dirty blond nodded her head typing away furiously yet again. I suppose she’s right in a way, I wanted to see weather or not she was capable of remembering something as fundamentally human as that, to remember who someone’s ‘father’ is.

 

“Mr. Honda?” I nodded and the girls lips parted once more, only for nothing to come through. “…….”

 

“Yes?” I turned back to her. “Tim? Is this normal? For her to pause and stutter as such?” For a moment she sounded human, past creations never made such movements.

 

“No…it’s not, perhaps your appearance is effecting her.” He smiled and continued to speak with his sister. “You know, she speaks of you like an older brother rather than a creator.” I felt my face heat up as a small smile made its way matching the usually stoic Tim.

 

“Really now..?” I stared back at (f/n) who was thinking over what she’d say next which only caught my attention even more, I decided to wait and be patient with her. “Is it alright if I sit in here with her?” Bella looked over to Tim before nodding.

 

“I don’t see that as a problem, you can go ahead we’re headed to lunch. Would you like anything?” Tim asked as Bella exited the room.

 

“I…no thank you.” He nodded and exited along with her closing the door leaving me incased with the android. I waited silently even as the girl stood up and walked about, studying and analyzing me.  I heard silent murmurs coming from her metal skeleton as she moved her false limps. Like hearing a well oiled car drive over a smooth surface.

 

(F/n) opened her mouth to speak up, artificial saliva could be seen inside of her, she looked so real…from the feel of her silicon skin to the scents that radiated off of her like the freshest of flowers.

 

“Mr. Honda…may I ask you a question.” This time her eyes didn’t glow unnaturally rather a glint of ‘’happiness” seemed to roam through her.

 

“Please do call me Kiku, and yes.” The girl smiled almost warmly before sitting besides me again on the sterile bedding.

 

“May I come back with you?” I paused and thought over what she was asking me.

 

“Come back with me where?” I was becoming intrigued by her own independent thoughts, when I’d last saw her she was dependent on others comments before thinking of a reasonable response, to study what was acceptable and what wasn’t.

 

“I want to go….home.”
