A week passed and Nolan returned. Apparently, while he did not join them, the new alliance allowed him to hang out with them in their clan building. He was treated very well there. Especially by 06-003. Because they could do pretty much anything that they wanted to with their nanites, 06-003 and Nolan could make their dicks vibrate. It was kinky. When they fucked each other, they could simulate as many orgasms as they wanted. It went so well that Nolan and 06-003 promised to pair bond. When they got their real sexual upgrades, they would have offspring together. That was pretty serious. I noticed that Nolan had a collar. It was different from the choker he normally had. When he remembered that he had it on, he took it off. The collar was real and not made of nanites. Nolan was told to wear it. Apparently, he was the submissive partner in this new relationship. I pat him on the back. "You can do you. If you want to wear it you can." I told him. He shook his head. "06-003 is a bit much. I don't want to be his submissive partner." Nolan looked around and, in a quieter tone said "It feels good."
I just shrugged. Even if I could not relate to being a near perfect cyborg entity with crazy powers, I could at least relate to wanting to reach out for a new relationship. He was not so different to a human there. "I get it. We won't tease you about it. We all want you to be the safest and happiest that you can be." He looked at me for a brief moment before putting the collar gently in his pants pocket. Like I promised, I did not say anything about it. He then walked down the hallway. Unfortunately, Nolan was not the only AEP unit in the Clan with relationship issues. Aaron was there for the whole vibrator debacle. He told Caleb, Colton and Charlotte about it. Caleb thought it was a weird thing to want and left it at that. Colton thought that it was a bad idea and Charlotte wanted to try it with someone. Aaron, Caleb and Colton shot her down. It did not deter her. Apparently after going around the clan, the only one interested was a young PEA unit. Since he was not one of Keith's kids, I was fine with letting him join the clan as her lover. I let her name him. She blinked and then said "He can be... Vibrator."
