The next morning, you woke up with Ralph still holding you.
You woke him up. "Ralph..?" You poked his face, making him flinch.
"Nnnnyes?" He said.
"We have to get up. And find somewhere to stay." You reasoned.
"Oh, Alright. Ralph will let you go now." He unraveled his arms from around you. You attempted to open the car door but it was frozen shut.
"GH-" you used all your strength to open the door. But you couldn't. "Ralph- could you help me please?" You politely asked.
"Ralph can try." He said, unsure of his strength.
He couldn't. "Okay, Ralph thinks we should break the window." He looked at the window.
"Oh- That's a good idea." You agreed. You elbowed the window repeatedly until  it broke. You let Lynx hop out first. Then you tried to squeeze your body through the window as well. You had made it half way through. But your butt was stuck.
You flailed. "I'm stuck." Immediately afterward, Ralph pushed you out of the car.
Ralph pulled himself out of the car halfway too. And you held both of his arms, pulling him out. You barely managed to succeed.
You were immediately freezing cold.
Ralph hugged you. "Ralph will protect you.. He will as long as he lives." He kissed your cheek. Already, there was snow building up on Ralph's and your shoulders.
"I'm- I'm- I'm- I'm really cold.." you shivered. "Ralph knows.. Ralph knows.." he comforted you.
You two began to walk. There was another car parked up ahead. Someone had to have left it there. Soon enough, you two spotted an abandoned house. Not run-down. It was nicely painted. Ralph fell to the ground, really pushing his limits, considering the weather. His servos were locking up. "Ralph can't feel his legs.." he panicked. "Oh shit, Ralph.." you sat down beside him. "You're- You're gonna be okay.. I promise!" You rocked him back and forth. "Don't go.. Stay strong." You didn't want him to freeze up. Not now.
"Ralph thinks he'll be okay.." he looked at you. His eyes were not glazed like they would be normally. The water that surrounded his eyeball, was frozen. "Ralph, you're freezing cold!" You tried to warm him up. And to no avail, you were as cold as he was, if not colder. Then you heard footsteps in the snow.
You dragged Ralph to the car you passed earlier. You hugged him, and kissed his forehead, trying to keep him from getting scared. You rocked him back and forth, trying to assure him that everything is alright.
"Hello?" A soprano-like male voice said. "Hello..?" He said again.
Suppose you did say "Hello?" back. Would you be seen as kind? Or be another target. If you were seen as nice, that was all that mattered.
"Hello..?" You said aloud.
Ralph shivered.
"Come out where I can see you.." The male voice stated.
You came out of hiding, showing yourself from behind the car. The male was shorter. He was another Ralph model. However, this Ralph was a ginger, seemed to have freckles, and was clearly a prototype.
"My name is Nicholas. But Nick is fine.." he was surprised to see a human and an android both out in the snow, kissing and hugging.
"What's all the fuckin' ruckus about, out there!" Another stereotypical gayish voice yelled.
"Don't mind him.. That's Akello. He's rude, but he's sweet on the inside." Nick scratched the back of his head.
"Nick, I need your help, ASAP. I'm with an android, he's freezing up and his blood is to a freezing point, I bet. Please, Please, can we stay here?.." you begged.
"Well, of course!" Nick said, happily.
Nick and you picked Ralph up, and carried him to the doorstep. Akello opened the door. Akello was another Ralph model as well. A WR600. Blond. Green eyes.
"Akello. Be nice." Nick demanded, walking inside, you as well.
"Why should I?" Akello crossed his arms. "With your Ye Ye ass haircut." Akello insulted you.
"AKELLO!" Nick smacked Akello across the face after he lied Ralph down on the floor. "YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THESE TWO HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH!" Nick screamed at him.
You looked at Ralph, who was completely frozen.
"I'm.. I'm sorry.." Nick went quiet.
"No.." You stared at him.
"NO!" You cried out.
"You know, little (girl/boy), He'll thaw out. And he'll be fine." Akello tapped his foot.
"Good.. Good." You looked at the two you just met. "Never seen an android like you, before." Akello leaned against the wall.
"What model are you?" He tilted his head.
"I'm.." you paused. "I'm human."
Nick and Akello backed up. Afraid of you.
"S-Stay back." Nick stuttered.
"You traitor." Akello spat with venom in his words.
"I'm- I'm not one of those humans. I believe androids are alive." You held your hands up in defense.
"And what is that android to you?" Nick pointed to Ralph's unconscious body.
"He's.." you paused.
"He's my lover."
Silence fell between you three.
"AWWW-" they said at the same time.
"I've never seen a couple like this before.." Akello tapped his chin.
"I haven't either." Nick added.
"You can stay here, if you want." Nick insisted. "You'd be welcome, I promise." He added.
"That's.. That's really sweet." You were in awe of his kindness.
"Now, you can sit by the fireplace, and I'll get you some blankets." Nick said, heading upstairs.
"You're beautiful." You said very clearly. Not describing looks, but describing his attitude. "Absolutely beautiful." You added.
