Lunar Chronicles. Look it up! They're good. You won't regret it. I didn't. Btw, this scene is purely from my head and the character portrayals may not be completely accurate.

Cinder wiped an arm across her brow. Her hand clenched the screwdriver tighter as she twisted the screw.
A thump from behind her made her jump.
Turning behind her, she spotted someone entering.
Quickly, she pulled on her gloves, covering up her metal hands.
His Highness- Kai watched her a few paces away, his copper eyes bright.
"What are you doing?"
Cinder pointed her screwdriver at the android in front of her.
He nodded and walked up to her, peering over her shoulder.
"What's wrong with it?"
"Loose panels. And its chip is rusted over."
Kai nods, leaning forward, his dark hair brushing Cinder's shoulder.
She stiffened slightly, the tickling of his hair making her uncomfortable.
"So......"
She looked at him. She wiped away a smudge of machine grease from her cheek.
"Yeah?"
"Have you, uh, changed your mind?"
Cinder let out a breath.
"Your High-"
"Kai."
"Kai....."
He lets out a sigh and straightens.
"I think I can change your mind."
"What?"
He doesn't answer, instead reaching forward and prying the screwdriver from her grip.
"Wh-"
He pulls her up, gripping her hands.
She stares at him. His mouth points upward and he moves forward.
His lips press against Cinder's. She gasps softly.
He pulls away, still gripping her hands.
"Cinder, please, will you go the ball with me?"
