Notes:

In 1961, an IBM 7094 computer at Bell Labs sang “Daisy Bell (Bicycle Built for Two),” becoming the first computer to ever sing.

Work Text:

"There is a flower within my heart. Daisy, Daisy! Planted one day by a glancing dart. Planted by Daisy Bell."

You were sitting on top of Caine's black grand piano as the notes of Daisy Bell rung in the immense room the AI had created just for these specific moments with you. It was some sort of routine between the two of you for Caine to sing songs to you while you sat there looking pretty for hours on end. Obviously, though, Caine's favourite song to play for you was Daisy Bell; he felt like it perfectly translated the complex feelings inside of his code he felt whenever he looked at you.

"Whether she loves me or loves me not, sometimes it's hard to tell. Yes, I'm longing to share the lot of beautiful Daisy Bell!"

You couldn't help but smile to yourself as you stared at the pair of dentures in front of you. You were both so hopelessly in love, it was almost sickening to the other members of the circus. But you didn't care, it didn't matter. Not when you were with him in these special moments that reminded you of every single reason why this AI stole your heart.

"Daisy, Daisy... Give me your answer, do. I'm half crazy all for the love of you! It won't be a stylish marriage. I can't afford a carriage. But you'll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two."

You hummed along as the chorus came along, shifting your position into more of a side lean to rest your back but also keeping your gaze on Caine. You found it cute how focused he'd get, and his little freakishly human habits when he was. The way his teeth were held closer together, giving him a squinted look, how his tongue would hang from the side of his mouth, and how tiny lines of blush would appear on the bottom row of his gums when he caught eye contact with you.

"We will go tandem as man and wife. Daisy, Daisy! Pedaling away down the road of life, I and my Daisy Bell."

These lyrics made you giddy for the future ahead alongside your partner. Despite the nature of your relationship being unnatural, what even was natural in this circus, anyways? You were just content to be with him, and you knew he was content to be with you too. So, you were excited about all the things the two of you could do together.

"When the road's dark, we can both despise policemen and lamps as well. There are bright lights in the dazzling eyes of beautiful Daisy Bell!"

 

"Daisy, Daisy... Give me your answer, do. I'm half crazy all for the love of you! It won't be a stylish marriage. I can't afford a carriage. But you'll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two."
