I wandered around the shuttle, for a little bit feeling like I'm in some sci-fi nerd's paradise. Guardian following but not quite hovering he's still in his human form, which is so unbelievably gorgeous! but I noticed something a little off about him. He's a little stiff…and twitchy in a way I find adorable.
"You're…really doing all this for me?" I asked softly, still finding it hard to believe that a robotic guardian stud of an angel showed up in my life.
He paused in his steps and looked away from me when I turned around to look at him…and I can't help but find it rather adorable the way he grinds his jaw when he's nervous.
"Yeah…whatever, don't make it weird." He mumbled back to me as his face turned a little red.
'Awe…' I cooed in my head, and smiled at him, "Guess I'm pretty lucky, you chose me…I know there are other pretty girls out there." I said to him and looked around at my room. It's bigger than my mom's house but somehow Guardian has managed to make it seem cozy.
"It's…cozy. You're good at this." I continued to say to Guardian, praising his hard work.
"Good…I hope you'll be happy here." He muttered back to me, but I could hear a faint warmth of pride in his voice and the way his beautiful amber colored eyes scanned my face then lingered on my lips for just a second too long, filled me with something warm and fuzzy.

"I am…" Mikaela nodded to me and I decided Mikaela needed a proper shopping trip. She's a young woman of eighteen, but has…barely anything in the clothes and shoes department, let alone jewelry, books, really any normal teenage girl necessities.
"Come on, we're going to the mall, and you still need a proper bed." I said to Mikaela and she reacted by hugging herself.
"Wh-what I have is enough Guardian…" Mikaela murmured softly and I can tell that she is trying very hard not to cry, not to want more.
'Oh god…I can understand being frugal and everything…but I have seventeen million plus dollars to spend on her…I mean in stuff…definitely stuff not necessarily for Mikaela…don't want to sound too much like a simp.' I thought while drawing my excess mass to me and scooped Mikaela up into my hands then transformed into flight mode all while carrying Mikaela through and out of the Shuttle.
"Guardian, you really don't have to do this!" Mikaela yelled in surprise as I flew us towards Mission City's premier shopping district…the same kind Mikaela's fake preppy friends do all their shopping. I saw a clear patch of blacktop so I transformed into vehicle mode and "let" Mikaela take the wheel.
Mikaela fidgeted as I took control of the car and parked us in front of a massively overpriced mall/boutique whatever rich cunts call it.
"Guardian." Mikaela whined petulantly even as I took on human form and gently forced her out of my "cabin" Mikaela sighed in defeat.
I had this sudden feeling that Mikaela was planning to bolt, so I took her hand in mine and walked her into the store.
Mikaela and I walked around the store that literally sells everything for women…and I mean everything…even adult toys.
Mikaela slowly warmed up to me taking her shopping, and I found I enjoyed the way Mikaela laughed at how I fussed over her and finally gave in to picking out the things she wanted.
"Are you sure this is okay…all this crap is so expensive…if you really want to get me stuff we could go to the salvation army." Mikaela murmured and I pressed her up against a rare bare patch of wall, keeping my left hand on her left hip while my right cupped the side of her face and my thumb pressed against the center of her lips.
Mikaela's eyes rapidly flicked back and forth looking around us before she stopped and stared into my eyes, she started breathing heavily as her face rapidly grew redder.
Then she closed her eyes and leaned forward expecting a kiss, not one to deny a beautiful girl what they wanted. I kissed Mikaela's forehead and pulled back.
Mikaela glared at me in surprise for a few seconds before grabbing my hand and pulled me around the store.
She's tentative at first, only picking up a few things shyly, then warmed up more and more, showing me sneakers she wants, jackets, and little things that feel almost frivolous to me but I felt that she deserved to be a little frivolous.
"I don't…thank you Guardian." Mikaela murmured as I helped her try on a leather jacket. "I feel...I feel like I'm pretending to be something I'm not around all those preppy kids." as I stood behind her in front of a full body mirror.
I hovered close, behind her and rested my hands on her hips and transitioned into hugging her from behind.
"Not anymore, girly. You have a rich sugary daddy now." I teased softly and Mikaela's smile in the mirror made my spark soar.
After my little joke about being a sugar daddy, Mikaela took me to the women's lingerie department of the store and watched my reactions very very enthusiastically to what I liked…needless to say the next stop was the sex toys.
Five large carts full of stuff and a large flatbed with mattress, duvet cover and a whole bunch of stuff, like a TV and other furniture.
We finished the day by returning to the shuttle, and I unloaded everything from my subspace and helped Mikaela put the finishing touches on her space.
I watched her both through the shuttle's internal sensors and my own. I loved watching her explore the room I made…we made touching the blankets, playing the lighting, the little personal touches. She hummed softly.
'Maybe…just maybe…I'm doing right by her…the world sure hasn't so far.' The thought passed through my logic circuits and it made me feel incredibly let down by the ideal world movies painted.
