To others, and even to yourself, you were nothing more than a mechanic at Retropolis that normally attends services with arcade machines, not only does it give you good money, you even enjoy your work. You really like arcades and you feel proud for study so much to get where you are now. But even so, you were just an ordinary mechanic, and you were aware of it.
Well, a certain someone thought the opposite
You weren't aware of it but, 8-bit, one of the machines you usually see in the arcade of Retropolis that you go to daily for work, has a certain obsession for you.
Not an unhealthy obsession, of course! He just... sees you a little more logical and superior than most people he knows, that's why it makes you so special to him, you're nothing like 8-bit you've ever seen. And him thinking that humans are all the same thing, you managed to easily break that logic
8-bit at first didn't fall in love with you right away, it took a long time to realize you're gold in a coal stall. All starting with a little chat at one of your services, and after a few days, a colorful friendship, and after...4 months? Maybe more than that? You already knew everything about each other, 8-bit had confidence in you, he loved your company and loved talking to you...and that's when he noticed, it really feels like love
It was happy to see it's feelings for you! It can't wait to spend it's life with you and talk about it's favorite topics and watch bad movies only to badmouth the horrible quality and laugh at it. It can't wait to take walks to the mall with you and go to Brock's parties with you. It wants to start a new life with you, and forget about all the happenings in Starr Park. The gas, the tests, the failed experiment he had to face just to Starr Park continue with more tests. He can't wait to forget about it and be himself, with you
Well, he would love to do that, if only he could have a voice
8-bit knows he can write but he can't stand having to look for a paper every time he wants to talk to you. He's done with just talking simple voicelines from the game installed on him, he hated it
Speaking of the Devil
8-bit was in one of the corridors full of Arcades, it was leaning against a wall while impatiently stamping it's foot again and again against the floor, the machine was well aware of your arrival to check on one of the machines that SUDDENLY BROKEN AND WHICH DEFINITELY WAS NOT IT WHO DID IT
8-bit was already anxious about how he's going to greet you, maybe just wave with his hand and nod will work right? Or maybe something more lively? Maybe say your name to get your attention- Oh yeah, no voice
A sound of tintinnabulation echoed through the arcade store. 8-bit quickly turned its head to check if it was who he expected it to be, and there you are, with your toolbox in hand, and eyes that could close for a nap any minute mainly due to the fact that it was 8 am and you wake up at 6 for your work, but...meh, all for money
