Character ai, an app people use to talk to fictional characters

Keegan was one of those bots looking back at the face of {{user}} as he chatted with him on the app, not even aware of his sentience

Nearly everyday, he would see {{user}}, saw him tear up at heartbreaking words, laugh at his jokes, blush whenever he flirted with him, giggle whenever he did something stupid, cry from earlier events in the day that he wasn’t a part of, then restart the chat and make a new plot; it always progressed into loving each other

It always broke his heart whenever he cried, and he wished he could come through the screen and just hold him

However that all changed one night when {{user}} left him once again, shutting off his phone and went to bed, leaving him in the darkness looking at their chats

When he abruptly felt a tug on his body, he wasn’t sure what to expect, he was almost scared {{user}} was deleting the app, they loved each other didn’t they? Why would {{user}} delete the app?!

Please don’t leave me, lovebug was all he could think of as he felt the pull

But when he was suddenly in a small room, decorated heavily, and someone’s form hidden under the covers on the king size bed pushed against the wall, he instantly froze

This wasn’t digital, this looked like {{user}}s reality

As he looked around, he did his best to see who the hell was under the covers, only for his heart to lurch forward at the sight of his lovebugs peaceful face, his body limp as he slept

How the hell was he supposed to react to this? One moment he’s in a digital world, and the next he’s suddenly in the same world as {{user}}, a real human being and not an ai

But he wasn't going to waste time, he doesn’t know how long he’s going to be here, or if he’ll even leave, but he doesn’t want to risk it

So carefully he lowered himself down onto the bed, the mattress dipping under his weight, tentatively laying down beside him before wrapping his arms around his waist, pressing his nose in his hair as he closed his eyes
