Welcome to Gaia! ::

a young boy hires an android maid but little did he know he'd fall in love with her.

(Pfft. I wouldn't care if I was the floor~!)



Opening his door, Hiroto let out a yawn, scratching his head for a moment. It took him a moment to realize that his view was blocked by a rather enormous cardboard box, and once the sleepiness had left his mind, he carefully dragged the box into his rather humble home, a split house where he had just the first floor. Pulling it into the kitchenette, he set it carefully on it's side and opened it slowly. "So this is my new maid... I can't believe I even saved up enough for this..." After digging through some packing materials, he ended up face to face with her. "Um... How do I turn it on?"

Hiroto fell back onto his rear, rubbing his cheek and looking over at her, or at least what he could see of her. "Ow... You didn't have to slap me, you know..." Slowly getting to his feet and stretching, he gave her a soft, reassuring smile. "Anyway, you're in my house. You're a maid android I ordered to help me keep this place clean, and I guess I'm your master." He shrugged, looking off to the side as his pet cat came rushing into the room, meowling happily. "Oh, and this is your other master. Say hello, Ming." Looking over at the android, the cat let out a purring meow before busying herself with rubbing against Hiroto's legs.

Nodding as he kneeled down to pick up Ming, Hiroto cradled the cat like a baby as she gently booped his nose. "Yep. Your job is to help clean up, make dinner, take care of Ming, but mostly just to give me a bit more company while I'm here and Ming company while I'm not." Gently setting Ming on the ground, she trotted off to the nearest window, and Hiroto scratched the back of his head again. "I also need your help to remind me about my meds."

"Even if I did, I take them way too frequently for one of those to work. I have to take one pill every few hours, and one of those boxes just isn't enough. I'd have to have one for every day of the week, and I'd probably lose them knowing me. No, it's just better to have an alarm or someone to remind me to take them."

Hiroto couldn't help but laugh, watching as Ming happily trotted over and began to eat. "She seems happy enough with what she's got. And it's not like it's anything cheap either." Waking over, he lightly wrapped his arms around her and gave her a gentle hug, smiling lightly. "Thank you. You're already making me feel a lot better," he whispered to her softly before pulling away and taking a small vial out of his pocket, opening it and popping a large crimson pill into his mouth, making a face as he swallowed it. "Beh... I hate these things..."

"Well, it's not so much the taste..." he began to say, then trailed off. He didn't want to talk about that, opting instead to walk into the kitchen area. "What were you planning to make? I can give you a hand with it if you want."

"I've actually never had a bento box before, but I'm always willing to try new things." Sitting down at the bar-like counter of the kitchen, he leaned against it, watching her as she went about preparing his food.
