And so, time continued to pass as normal. There was no miraculous change in the way that Al lived his life. He still got up every morning, tended to his affairs as anyone would. But his life did improve markedly now that the deep and lasting relationship between him and the most important person in his life had been so markedly redefined into something more suitable to their needs.

It had been just a bit awkward at first to be sure. Whenever they would go out together, they would still get the occasional odd look or even the occasional jealous look, but the two of them took it in stride. They did not need the world to understand or accept their love. Their love continued to thrive was enough in and of itself for them.

Eventually, Al had decided he had lived a life of languid inactivity for long enough and took to doing something with his life. With the encouragement of the light of his life, he followed a passion he had been dipping his toes in for some time, and started advocating for the rights of Bio-Droids, working to make sure that one day, no living sapient being, no matter their origins, had to be worried about being cast off and thrown away like a disposable consumer commodity. That they need not fear that the willful autonomy of future generations would be influenced by ethically dubious manmade failsafe measures meant to keep them under the thumb of their creators and owners.

Even going so far as to, at his partners prodding, take such Bio-Droids in need of a good home under his care, to help them find their place in the world. And what a wonderful place it ended up being.

But that is all a story for another time. For now, let’s just let these two enjoy their present without worrying for the future. They seem so happy, don’t they? No need to fuss over the details for now. For now, they have each other, and that is more than enough.
