Summary
SecUnit will see through its drone views that Three is approaching the lounge, and slide down off its favourite padded chair onto the floor without ceremony. And Three, seeing it when it enters the room, will silently lie down next to it, shoulder to shoulder.
---
Or, how the floor becomes the foundation for: peace, friendship, security, and life.

Summary
I sent ART the edited file along with a snapshot of my recent haptic sensor logs, which mostly looked like [deleted] [deleted] [deleted].
ART took a moment to process that. Your difficulty with physical touch extends beyond merely touching or being touched by humans, it surmised.
I guess, yeah. I bristled at calling it a ‘difficulty’: it wasn't hard to touch things, I just didn't like doing it. But I had a system for dealing with that, so whatever, it wasn't an issue.
---
Or, ART wants to make Murderbot comfortable. (And yes, it would like to feel that for itself, too.)

Summary
Something rippled around her. It wasn't a sound. It was more of a texture, a movement, a local gravitational instability, a color. It felt like laughter. You didn't have to say it like that, [SecUnit] said, and it was pure relief to know it wasn't upset. It was joking. It's fine, though. The feed is different, it doesn't bother me in the same way. You can… it winced, but finished, 'touch me' as much as you want, in here.
In the immediate aftermath of her kidnapping, Ayda isn't ready to be alone. SecUnit isn't ready to let her out of its sight, either. When she makes the startling discovery that her new implant allows her to connect with it in a way she never knew was possible, they reach for one another on instinct. Sometimes, the comfort you need can take you places you never expected.

Summary
Ah. Gurathin lightly skimmed over the ragged mess of my processing power, presumably to confirm what I’d said. It was a testament to how fucked up my head still was that I didn’t automatically shove him away at the first slight brush of his presence. After a moment, he drew back. So you want to stop?
I didn’t want any of this. It wasn’t about what I wanted. We have to.
I disagree, Gurathin said thoughtfully. We could redistribute the workload. If you still don’t want me interacting with the contextual data records, you can finish it and then hand all of it to me at once, so I can do the recompiling while you just focus on readjusting to the changes.
I tried to picture what he was describing. My code being fixed, piece by piece, while I just sat back and let it happen? Let myself be, what, tended to? Healed? Yeah, absolutely fucking not. My organics were doing weird shaky things just at the idea of it. Not happening, I told Gurathin.

Summary
Over the years, ART and Murderbot's relationship evolves as they navigate kink, trauma, and most terrifyingly of all: sexual desire.
Murderbot experiences violent and sexual intrusive thoughts, and struggles to learn to differentiate this from its legitimate kinky desires as a sadist. ART struggles with trust, honesty, and the fear that it will be rejected if Murderbot sees the depths of both its devotion and its internal dysfunction. They're friends, and they love each other, and they're always going to make it work, no matter how hard it sometimes gets.
