Brave Police McCrane, Toudou, Drill Boy K

"What's wrong with him?…" McCrane Asked, watching Toudou examine their younger brother.

"Well, he said he felt funny after his last recon mission…" the man replied, fiddling with wires in the mech's chest. "I think he's been picking up some of Shadowmaru's hacking expertise— expertise meaning he's trying but his firewalls aren't as up to date as Shadowmaru's, so he's more susceptible to catching something."

McCrane's glanced questioningly at the little robot, who looked away. Guilty. "So what did he catch?"

"Go on, Drill Boy, show him."

The mech shook his helm, earning a smack to the head. "Go on, I said," the mechanic growled, waving his wrench threateningly.

Drill Boy winced, opened his mouth, and spoke in a series of beeps. Chiptunes, McCrane remembered the word. "Well," the older mech sighed, trying not to smile at Drill Boy's miserable face. "Maybe you'll learn that you can't do everything the dog does."

There was a series of beeps that sounded angry.

"If you're going to call me names, you can be grounded from soccer for a week," McCrane scolded, and Drill Boy became horrified, beeping apologetically.

Brave Police/ Brave Express, Might, Yuuta K

"That was lots of fun!" Yuuta exclaimed, eating his ice cream happily. Might and the younger boy had been at the playground all day, having some time off between shifts. Deckerd still hadn't been found, and Yuuta was getting more by the day. In an effort to make him feel better, Might spent most of his available time with the policeman, finding a very soothing presence about being with Yuuta. The boy was bright, and had faced more than most should his age. It was devastating to have his best friend taken from him, but Yuuta still tried to lead his team and find Deckerd.

Might found that admirable, and above all, extremely brave. So he tried to help as much as he could, and when he couldn't, he'd at least offer the kid a break and take him out. It was like having a little brother, when he'd grown up an only… well. An only.

"I'm glad you enjoyed yourself, Yuuta," the older boy chuckled, putting an arm around his shoulder in a hug. "Hey, c'mon, let's race back to base and see if we can confuse Katori again!"

Yuuta grinned, running off. "Okay!"

Brave Police, Duke, Deckerd, Slash K

It was a date… but… how did one even go about a date?

Who knew. It was late at night, and they were both off shift. Duke and Deckerd sat outside in the park, talking softly about nothing in particular. Was that a shooting star? How far do the planets reach? Can Kapia see the same stars we can?

Neither was sure who leaned in first, who was the one to gently kiss the other. But back and forth they nuzzled and kissed; Duke's hand under Deckerd's chin, the patrol car's optics dim and soft. Every touch was sweet and gentle. When Duke pulled back, Deckerd pushed forward, cupping the red helm and kissing him once more. They had worked together they already knew the stage past dating, past friendship. Their AIs sparked happily, reacting to the kisses. There are things said without words, after all.

Brave Police, McCrane, Drill Boy, K

Sneaking into the dark room, Drill Boy cuddled up next to McCrane. The older mech had been acting very sad and nervous today, totally unlike him. When Drill boy had asked Dumpson about it, the mech had said McCrane was worried. It have been a few days since Ms. Seia had been shipped somewhere for work, and he worried when they lost contact.

McCrane had been quiet about it for a few days.

And that's why Drill Boy snuck into his room and fell into recharge next to the darker mech. He couldn't count the times that McCrane had soothed him about this or that, times that the older brother figure almost merged into a fatherly aspect. He curled up against McCrane, careful not to wake him, and drifted off. McCrane woke up sometime in the night, and finding Drill Boy snuggled tightly against him, hugged him close.

Brave Police McCrane, Seia, K (slash) Humanized

Seia was curled up in McCrane's arms lazily, ignoring the morning sun filtering through the window. She had decided that, although very pleasant, these android bodies that had been made for the BPs were going to interfere with her work schedule. She would wake up and have no desire to move, content with the feeling of his tired embrace. It didn't exactly help her that if she shifted the slightest inch, his hold tightened and he mumbled in his sleep. There was no winning this fight. She'd just have to wait until he woke up.

Brave Police Dumpson, Ayako, K (Slash) Humanized

"I have to go to work, this is ridiculous!" Ayako whined, throwing her hands exasperatedly in the air. Dumpson simply grinned, shaking his head—he'd become more stubborn since he had this android body installed. He was standing in the doorway, arms over his chest. There wasn't any way around; Dumpson was practically a brick wall with a face. She'd only be able to get past him if she jumped out of the window, and as it was, she was on the 5th floor. Stepping forward, Ayako tried to charm him again, leaning into the wide chest and playing with his short hair. "Please let me through~? Pleaaaaseeee?" She nuzzled at his chin (as far as she could reach at this height) and made one of her most pathetic looks.

"Nuh-uh."

"Dumpson stop, whyyy?" She punched him in the chest. "Why aren't you letting me go to w—"

"Dramatic effect." He leaned down to quickly cut her off with a kiss, then sidestepped out of the doorway. "Alright, you can go if you want."
