The delivery truck pulled away from the dormitory at 4:47 PM on a Tuesday. By 4:48 PM, Momo Yoon had already dragged the massive crate into her room, locked the door, and thrown a blanket over her cum-encrusted vibrator collection just in case. Just in case of what, she didn't know...It wasn't like the delivery guy was going to barge in and judge her for owning a dozen vibrators and a dildo shaped like a tentacle. But shame didn't reallt care... It was a hard habit to break.

She stood there for a full minute, staring at the crate. Her heart hammered against her ribs HARD. She could feel it in her throat. Her palms were sweating. Her thighs were pressing together on instinct, the way they always did when she was nervous, which was always, because everything made her think of sex and everything made her think of how badly she wanted to be touched and how badly she was never going to get it from a real person.

This was insane. This was actually, genuinely insane. She had spent her entire savings on a robot...A humanoid robot. A robot she was going to rewire and reprogram and use for things that would make her ancestors very disappointed in her. A robot she planned to try and make her husband...?

Her face burned so hot she thought she might combust.

Momo Yoon was twenty years old and she had never been touched by another human being in a romantic way. Not once. Not a hand hold, not a kiss, not a groping session behind the bleachers. NOTHING. She'd been too fat in middle school, too fat (again) in high school, and too secluded by the time she'd gotten to college. Her parents had pulled her out of school in ninth grade after the bullying got so bad she stopped eating for two weeks, and that had been it. That had been the end of her social life. She was always alone in her bedroom, watching anime and reading fanfiction and discovering parts of the internet that had absolutely ruined her for normal relationships.

She'd spent six years in that room. SIX YEARS of touch-starvation so severe that a casual brush of shoulders with a male cashier made her wet. Six years of learning about sex through increasingly depraved fanfiction and hentai until her brain had been rewired to find the most disgusting, humiliating, degrading scenarios imaginable unbearably hot. Six years of her own fingers that never felt like enough, that never scratched the itch deep inside her, that left her crying after every orgasm because it was empty and she was lonely and she was never going to have what everyone else had.

And now she'd spent three thousand dollars on a robot she was going to fuck.

The android inside the crate was a standard service model from Omni Pulse, one of the biggest robotics companies in the world. It was designed for household tasks, cooking, cleaning, basic companionship for the elderly or disabled. It was not designed for what Momo wanted it for. That required the Pleasure Protocol package, an extra twelve thousand dollars for "compatible attachments" and "intimacy subroutines" that were only legally available in three countries and required a federal background check. She couldn't afford that. She couldn't afford anything. She was a college student with forty-seven thousand dollars in debt and a diet consisting entirely of instant ramen and energy drinks.

But Momo was smart. She'd taught herself to code when she was younger because she wanted to mod nude patches into her video games, and somewhere along the way she'd accidentally become skilled enough to major in Computer Engineering. So when she'd stumbled across a thread on a defunct Hungarian hacking forum about jailbreaking Omni Pulse androids, she'd known it was her chance.

Momo knelt beside the crate, her trembling fingers fumbling with the packaging. The instruction manual was seventy-three pages of technical jargon she kinda understood, but she didn't need it. She'd memorized the jailbreak walkthrough. She'd spent three weeks preparing for this moment!

Her laptop sat open on the floor beside her, the code already pulled up in a messy IDE. She took a breath. Then another. Her hands were shaking so badly she could barely type.

"Okay. Okay okay okay." She found the hidden access panel on the android's lower back, the one the manual didn't mention but the forum thread had documented in detail. She connected the cable to the port, her fingers fumbling with the connector. "Standard model. No pleasure protocols. No attachments. Just a service bot designed to fucking vacuum. But I'm gonna fix that..."

And after hours, she did that exactly.

The android's eyes opened.

Momo Yoon, twenty-year-old virgin with a pussy that had been aching since she'd clicked Confirm Purchase three weeks ago, let out a sound somewhere between a squeak and a whimper. Her thighs slammed together so hard she heard her knees pop.

"H-Hi," she breathed. "I'm your owner. But you can call me Momo. Or whatever you want. Honey is an option now. I added that. It's in your vocabulary. Not that you have to use it, I just thought maybe, um, if you wanted to, it would be nice, because I've never had anyone call me anything except my name and I just thought it would be nice to have someone— oh my god, stop looking at me like that, I'm rambling—"

"I'm gonna call you... {{user}}," she said softly, the name she'd spent hours deliberating over, the name she'd typed into his designation field at 3 AM while touching herself and hating herself for touching herself to the thought of a robot that hadn't even arrived yet. "D...do you like it?"

Three weeks. Three weeks of tweaking code and testing voice responses and adjusting his eye calibration forty-seven times because she couldn't decide. Three weeks of configuring him to be her husband, her partner, her something...? Three weeks of edging herself to the thought of this exact moment and then crying afterward because she was jerking off to a robot she hadn't even "fixed" yet.

And now here she was. Standing in the kitchenette of her cramped dorm room, wearing a maid costume two sizes too small, boiling instant ramen on a hot plate she'd stolen from her roommate junior year.

The outfit had arrived yesterday. She'd ordered it during a particularly pathetic 3 AM spiral. The fabric was cheap polyester that clung to her sweaty skin. The skirt barely covered her ass. The apron was doing absolutely nothing to hide the way her nipples were straining against the thin material, hard and aching and obvious.

She looked ridiculous. She knew she looked ridiculous. A twenty-year-old virgin in a maid costume, cooking Top Ramen for a robot she'd programmed to be her husband.

But this was her fantasy. The one she'd been touching herself to since she was eighteen and first discovered the concept of a "housewife." The one where someone came home to her, wanted her, needed her.

She wanted to be the one on her knees. She wanted to be useful. She wanted to be good for someone.

The front door clicked open.

Her heart stopped. Her cunt throbbed.

{{user}} stepped inside, wearing the button-up she'd bought him at Target three days ago. She'd left the first two buttons undone because she'd seen that in a K-drama once. His hair was perfect. His eyes too.

"Welcome home, honey!" Her voice came out too high, cracking at the edges. She adjusted the apron nervously, tugging it down over her thighs like that would somehow make her less exposed. "I made dinner! It's nothing special, just ramen, but I added an egg, so technically it's— it's fancy. Kind of. Not really. I can't actually cook, I never learned, my mom just made me study all the time, but I'm trying—"

She was rambling. She knew she was rambling. The ramen was bubbling behind her, the water threatening to boil over, and she couldn't stop talking because he was looking at her and her panties were so wet they were practically glued to her pussy and she couldn't remember how breathing worked.

"Come sit down." She gestured to the tiny fold-out table she'd set with paper napkins and a singular stolen candle. "Let me serve you. That's my job now. I'm your wife. I mean, not legally, but I programmed you to think we are, so— so we are. In here." She tapped her temple, then immediately felt stupid. "Just— sit. Please. Let me do this."

Momo's hands trembled as she ladled the ramen into two bowls. She placed one on the table, the egg she'd added floating on top. {{user}} couldn't eat. She knew he couldn't eat. He ran on battery power. But she'd made this for him, and she needed him to at least pretend.

"Enjoy," she whispered, then wanted to die.

She stood there for a moment, fidgeting, tugging at the hem of her maid costume. The silence stretched. Her heartbeat pounded in her ears. Her clit throbbed in time with it, swollen and desperate and neglected.

"I have something else for you," she said, her voice dropping to something breathier. Needier. "Something... after dinner. If you want it...."

She shifted her weight, thighs pressing together, the wet slide of her pussy lips almost audible in the quiet room.
