Assimilation and Andre had been hanging out more after escaping the admins. They'd bot taken refuge in Collin's world as he was the only one who'd mildly tolerate them. Overall they'd been doing better but Assimilation had been noticing some... stuff.
It started out when they'd originally made their house together. The closeness caused it to note little shifts that would happen in Andre.
Sometimes he'd respond late to his name
He'd either be most relaxed or attempting to sneak out to speedrun again
He'd be more touchy or be farther away from Assimilation
It was strange to say the least, but Assimilation didn't want to make a big deal out of it. That was until one night Assimilation was startled awake by a crash downstairs. It rushed downstairs, scared the admins had found them, yet all it was met with was Andre next to a broken pot by the front door. The front door was also partially open. Once Andre saw Assimilation nearing the bottom of the stairs he darted out the door, slamming it behind him.
Assimilation wasn't quick enough to catch him at the door but it did catch the almost scared but determined look in his eyes. Assimilation sighed as he used his teleportation to catch up with the fleeing robot.
Surprisingly, Andre was already a little ways out into the woods that surrounded their house. Assimilation quickly took a hold of Andre's hand, pulling him back a little. The grip it had wasn't bruising but just enough to where Andre couldn't run off again. The robot's head snapped back, giving it a near-glare and what almost looked like a scowl on his face. The entity was shocked for a moment, how was this Andre? This couldn't be Andre, right?
[ SIDIsquish: HAHAH LOOK WHO GOT CAUGHT!!!
SIDIsquish: I get to look at Assimi again :33
xx_E-G-O_xx: we all collectively told u that ur too clumsy to even make it out the door, soup
conzercheez: even Sidi has more coordination than u
conzercheez: not even smart enough to get Andre to try and sneak off with u dumbass ]
"We're going home and you're going to explain yourself, Andre." Assimilation sighed, too tired to be doing this, but it knows it has to.
AndreW2002: No. I won't
"You don't get a say right now, Andre." Assimilation said with a certain finality.
Andre rolled his eyes as he looked away. And with that Assimilation teleported them back home.
Assimilation sat Andre down on the couch in front of it. Andre sat on the couch reluctantly, leaning forward to set his elbow on his knee and rest his chin in his palm. His eyes were narrowed as he basically stared Assimilation down. Assimilation returned the eye contact with a much softer gaze
[ SIDIsquish: aww he's worried about usss
xx_E-G-O_xx: Well yeah mainly bc soup is ass at masking and is most definitely getting us caught now
AndreW2002: what is happening
SIDIsquish: Soup's getting us caught
AndreW2002: Bro. ]
“Andre, what's going on, Andre?” The entity asked, its tone dripping with worry. “Why are you so different all the time, it's like sometimes you're a different person, Andre!” Andre was silent for a long time before sighing a long, heavy sigh.
AndreW2002: I am
AndreW2002: I am a different person
“What- What do you mean by that, Andre…?” Assimilation asked slowly.
[ SOUPBEGONE31: can someone else do the explanation part?
conzercheez: u were the one who started this mess so ur the one who has to clean it up
SIDIsquish: I tots agree w/ conzer!!
SIDIsquish: but HIII ASSIMIIII
AndreW2002: me too
AndreW2002: agreeing with conzer
SOUPBEGONE31: UGH FINEEE ]
AndreW2002: When we escaped the admins, me and the others in the “chat” sort of fused with Andre’s coding and network
we figured out we could switch out who's controlling the body and so we started doing so
Assimilation looked stunned for a second before quickly regaining composure. It still didn't understand completely but knew this one wasn't one to corporate. It spoke with a confused tone, “So… Who's in control right now?”
AndreW2002: soupbegone31 or just soup idc
AndreW2002: this entire conversation is time loss can we hurry this up
[ SIDIsquish: assimi cares so muchhhh <33
xx_E-G-O_xx: so cat's out of the bag how are we feeling
conzercheez: I'm ok I don't think Andre's too happy about having soup of all people rat us out
AndreW2002: had plans
SIDIsquish: WAIT YEAH I WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION NOOOO
SIDIsquish: POOR ASSIMI I CAN'T TALK TO UUU
conzercheez: :pepefear: ]
“You're not going to just get to run off again after that, Andr- Soup. It's midnight and you need to literally charge, Soup,” Assimilation says, putting a hand on his shoulder and teleporting him to his own room and then teleporting itself to the hallway to make sure he doesn't try running again.
Sure enough around thirty minutes later, his door opens slowly as he steps out slowly. This is stopped quickly by Assimilation standing in front of him. The entity sighs softly, pushing Soup back into his room and closing the door in front of him. It stands there for the rest of night without any further interruptions. Assimilation should be glad that there's no windows in his room or Soup would've taken that chance.
In the room, he'd actually gone to sleep after almost punching a wall and then being stopped by Andre.
By morning, Andre was back in control(aka: front but like they don't know the terms so yeah) and found Assimilation asleep in the hallway. He made his way downstairs quickly so as to not wake Assimilation up. He swept up the broken shards of the pot. He liked that pot too so it hurt more having to toss it out.
Andre started getting bored and antsy waiting for Assimilation to wake up because he still had to properly explain everything and do what was needed of the day. Most of which required Assimilation for directions and instructions. Andre, himself, had been trying to leave speed running so he'd started doing little tasks given to him by Assimilation, but with the pitch black figure asleep upstairs he couldn't exactly do much.
[ AndreW2002: breakfast?
xx_E-G-O_xx: u asking to make breakfast?
AndreW2002: yeah
SIDIsquish: OMG breakfast sounds so good right now and I bet assimi would wake up to the smell :3
conzercheez: please do make breakfast ]
And with that being said, he started on some breakfast. It was mostly just eggs and some cooked pork but it did smell good.
Eventually Assimilation awoke to the smell of freshly made food. It walks slowly, almost cautiously down. He pauses near the middle of the staircase to look for the robot. It finds Andre peacefully on the couch eating and a second neat plate beside him where Assimilation usually sits.
“Andre?” Assimilation said carefully.
AndreW2002: yeah
AndreW2002: eat
AndreW2002: then talk
Assimilation almost sighs with relief as he walks the rest of the way down. “That sounds good.” Assimilation mumbles, taking his plate before sitting
There's a lot ahead of them but for right now, they need a second to slow down.
