fic - Things Fall Apart and a fic rec

[kiki_miserychic]

The warehouse was too quiet for Sarah's liking. She sat on an old metal container, staring at dust floating in a shaft of sunlight. John had taken the Weaver girl to a far corner to play some game on the concrete. She felt uneasy, not being able to see the girl, but John had thought it would be easier for him to gain her trust without her hovering over their shoulders. Sarah agreed.

"John is losing on purpose and the girl is telling him try harder." Cameron gave Sarah an update, even though she had not asked for one. Cameron went from standing stick straight to kneeling next to Sarah quickly, causing Sarah to flinch and inwardly curse herself for doing so.

"What are you doing?" Sarah demanded, watching and feeling Cameron's hand on her leg.

"The center cannot hold." Cameron said, as if that would explain why her hand drifted over the denim covering Sarah's knee. A warmth passed from the hand to Sarah's leg that confused her. Her brain knew without a doubt that there was cold, hard metal beneath the softness of the artificial skin, but her body reacted like it was a human touch.

"Yes. Yes, it will." Sarah adamantly spat, grabbing the hand and digging her nails into the yielding flesh.

I have absolutely no idea what the exchange between Sarah and Cameron means, but I find I do not care because it's really quite marvelously creepy and feels like something that would happen. And now I want to know why it did, but it's only a ficlet. *pout*

But yes. I approve muchly.

EHhehe, it means that there will be robot sexy times when Sarah gets over the metal thing. Not really... but kinda.
