Summary
We were watching Sanctuary Moon when it happened.
We’d gotten to the part where Captain Hossein and the Navigation Unit were stranded planetside—the whole scene bathed in violet hues to bring out the romantic overtones. (Much more appealing than actual planets.)
“I love this bit,” Ratthi said.
Truthfully, I like it, too. And I could have said as much. Or I could have said nothing at all. Both were valid options. But instead, I decided to be the contrary asshole and went with option C.
“It’s implausible,” I said.
Ratthi looked confused and I realized I needed to elaborate.
“There’s no way a unit built to navigate starships would take a romantic interest in somebody.”
And that’s when I felt it—the sudden absence. If I’m honest, I hadn’t realized how closely ART had managed to sidle up against me in the feed until it was gone.
OR
An offhand comment leads to a misunderstanding between SecUnit and ART, and—possibly—a discussion about what they really are to each other.

Summary
SecUnit and ART watch a musical theatre performance involving two human-form bots that fall in love. SecUnit thinks romance is dumb, but it's cool to see media where bots can be such good friends, the way that it and ART are good friends.
ART quietly has a panic attack.

Summary
They only discovered that kissing had been invented - and tried and tested - fifty and a hundred years later, respectively, and had both initially thought it looked more uncomfortable than anything. Now, though. He’s seen humans in love, disgustingly in love, who it’d take all the combined forces of Heaven and Hell to separate, who have kissed each other as if air from the other is the only thing that would do anymore. It certainly hadn’t seemed uncomfortable for them.
It doesn’t seem too uncomfortable to Crowley, right now. The longer this split second drags, while Aziraphale smiles at him as if he’s something worth smiling at, the angel’s lips are starting to look like the most comfortable place on Earth.
—
Crowley has wanted to kiss Aziraphale for hundreds of years. Now that he’s done it wrong, he’d rather not think about it anymore. Aziraphale is a different story entirely.
