I had thought that at one time their was a request for a Chobits style AU, but I couldn't find it, so I went with Anything Goes. If you happen to find a more appropriate prompt, please tell me. Concrit welcome!Arthur had bought Alfred when he nineteen and fresh out of college. After going through all of college with merely a notebook, Arthur had known what he had wanted. Every year he’d glanced around as his classmates giggled and played around while their laptops recorded everything. He had had to type all his notes up, had to wade through web searches, and sort through technical jargon until his eyes nearly crossed. Thank God for Kiku or he’d never have lasted with the blasted thing. When he got out of college and got ready to become a constable, he saved up every penny he had and went to buy a laptop

A unicorn model. His heart surged. That was too perfect…but then, he needed a laptop now, before he became a probationary constable. Well, the only problem with a dragon model was whether or not he’d be able to keep Rhys from stealing it. Honestly, the man’s mania for dragon memorabilia was only topped by his love of sheep plushies. Arthur smiled to himself and reached out for the box before he paused. The box next to it had caught his eye

“Fuck off,” he grumbled, opening the box. “And if you have a problem with him, I suggest breaking up with Francis-apparently he got one just like it.” He smirked at James’s frown and turned back to the box. Inside, the laptop was secured to the box the way Arthur had only seen spiders cocoon the prey and how toy makers secure dolls. It took five minutes to free it, then Arthur had to sift through the manual. “’First, open ear port and pull out power cable. Plug in for three hours to let batteries charge’.” He paused and glanced at the ears, looking for a seam. He had to check both ears before seeing a small button behind the right ear. The ear swung open, revealing a power cord, the power switch, and a set of ports. He plugged the laptop and sat back, staring at it expectantly

“Huh? O-oh! Your name, yes,” he fumbled over himself while James snickered at him. Finally he composed himself and leaned down so they were face to face. “Your name is Alfred. Do you like it

I promise, no shota. That's a fairly strong squick for me, although in my notes, sex with a laptop isn't usually possible as they're built like barbie dolls. Companions, which are built to look like adults, however are pretty much made with this in mind which is why there's a stigma about owning one.

sorry about the major typos on my comment before. Ahh okay, the way I read the Video Girl AI prompt was kind of similar, so I thought that might have been it.
And that sounds really interesting and I definitely need to catch up on this fic. <3

About the chobits au prompt there might have been one. If there was then it was filled, I read it. Your taking a much different approach than the other one and it's very good. I'm excited to see where you take this:)

Kiku had shrugged when Arthur had rushed to him, cradling little Alfred in his hands, in the hopes that his tech wizard friend could save the little laptop. “There’s nothing I can do, Arthur-san,” he murmured, patting Alfred’s head fondly. After six years, even he was fond of Arthur’s energetic laptop. “Six years is actually a very good lifespan for a laptop. Maya only lasted five.”
Maya was Kiku’s last laptop-it was a cat laptop and Alfred had loved to play with it almost as much as he had loved to play with Francis’s Mathieu. He remembered how Alfred had wailed when Kiku had told them that Maya had broken down, how he had buried his face into Arthur’s shoulder. He had been more broken up about it than Kiku. Now it was Mei-Mei, Kiku’s little girl laptop, who sobbed, the flower clip in her hair cycling through colors in her distress while Kiku held and petted her hair.
Arthur wanted someone to hold and pet him too. Instead he pulled Alfred tighter into his embrace. He bit back a sob. “Is…isn’t there anything you could do

The two weeks without Alfred had been absolute murder. He had to borrow his neighbor’s alarm clock to get to work on time and then he’d had to put up with the station’s laptops which twitched and lagged as he tried to work. But worse than the inconvenience of not having Alfred’s aid was everyone else reaction to Alfred’s breakdown. Most at the station had shrugged and asked when he would buy a new one. Elizabeta was only one who actually seemed sympathetic about it. Then again, she also had a little boy laptop, who she cooed over constantly

Forget living this down; I won’t be able to look in a mirror again. “Alfred isn’t going to be a laptop. He’ll have to be a Companion.”
Well, at least the shocked look was almost worth it. “…oh?”
For a moment, Arthur stared at his ceiling in confusion, wondering what that bizarre noise was before he realized it was the cell phone Kiku had lent him while he worked on Alfred. He fumbled for it before he tapped Accept. “’ello?”

I'm so glad you said who Charlotte was; I could figure everyone else out easily, but for some reason I always forget who Monaco is ... OTL

Alas, computers don't last forever, even if they're shaped like adorable toddlers. The coming chapters will go into more detail.

Though, I have a question: Will this be shota? I hope not, because I can't stand shota at all x___x;
I hope Arthur will be able to transfer Alfred's data to an adult model, eheh @w@;
Looking forward to reading more! ^^

“Arthur-san, it’s me, Kiku.”
Arthur bolted upright.
“Alfred is done. You can pick him up today.”
