A/N: This one doesn't have smut, but there is talk about smut ;)
Noah has been with Gabriel for nearly a week now. Noah didn't want to treat Gabriel like a machine, like how some Android owners do, so he wanted Gabriel to have his own room. He had gone out after the second day of having Gabriel, to get a charging base for the android. The charging base is now in a spare room that's in Noah's house.
Every time Noah comes home from his college classes, Gabriel is always there to greet him. And of course, he's there to let Noah tickle him in his belly button, or anywhere where Noah would like to tickle him.
One evening, Noah was sitting on the couch, next to Gabriel. He had his hand up Gabriel's shirt, moving his finger around inside Gabriel's deep navel. After a while of playing with Gabriel's innie, Noah started to question why Gabriel wasn't giggling as much as he used to. Gabriel is programmed to be ticklish, so he'd be laughing softly at times.
"Gabriel?" Noah looked up, still fingering Gabriel's belly button.
Gabriel was watching the TV, his head turned to look at his human friend. "Yeah, Noah?" He asked. Then, he smiled. "You enjoying playing with my belly button?"
Blushing, Noah nodded. "Yeah, as always," He smiled. "But, normally you'd be giggling from this, wouldn't you?"
"Hmm..." Gabriel said, looking away with a puzzled face. "You're right," He said. "Maybe my tickle sensors turned low,"
"Oh..." Noah said.
"You want to check?" Gabriel asked.
Noah nodded.
Noah took his hand out from underneath Gabriel's shirt, allowing Gabriel to now take his shirt off.
Noah reached over, to Gabriel's neck, and pressed a button to open the face plates. Once the face plates were opened, exposing the endoskeleton skull, Noah pressed the flashing button on the lower jaw to open the stomach hatch.
Once that opened, Noah looked inside.
Pushing through the wires that were inside Gabriel, he noticed the tickle sensor knob.
But it was turned to the number he had left it on since the day he had fixed Gabe. "Huh..." Noah said tilting his head. "It... It looks normal..."
"It is?" Gabriel asked. "Ok, as an experiment...turn it all the way up,"
"Are you sure?" Noah asked. He didn't want to break Gabriel. Because he knows if the ticklish sensor is turned up too high, Gabriel's laughter will sound distorted, and it might damage his voice module.
Gabriel nodded. "If my voice gets wonky, it'll just be for a little while, then you can turn it back down,"
Noah nodded. "Yeah," He reached over into Gabriel's chest cavity and turned up the tickles.
The stomach hatch closed, and then so did Gabriel's face plates.
"Okay, give me a tickle somewhere," Gabriel stated.
Noah went to tickle Gabriel's neck, but... Gabriel didn't react. Noah and Gabriel looked at each other. "That's... strange..." Noah said. Since the tickle sensors are at maximum level, Gabriel's voice should have sounded like an animatronic from the FNAF game series screaming at you. Since Gabriel's shirt was off, Noah went to tickle his navel, but still nothing. He tried his armpits as well, but Gabriel was dead silent.
Noah blinked, "What's wrong?"
"Noah, I think my tickle sensors are fried," Gabriel said. "That has to be the reason,"
"Fried? So... I'll have to fix it," Noah said.
"You can, but you probably don't know how they work," Gabriel said to them.
"What do you mean?" Noah questioned.
"Most of my coding, and mainframe, is out of the league from what they make you guys learn in college, you'll have to take me back to where I came from for them to fix my sensors," Gabriel told Noah.
Noah blinked. "Wait... You mean to that fetish robot-making place?"
Gabriel nodded. "I haven't been back there in so long..."
*****
Noah and Gabriel walked through the city of Detroit until they found the place they needed. Gabriel was the one to help guide Noah since he still had a remembrance of where it was located.
Noah stared up at the entrance of the building.
"Detroit's Android Pleasure Programming?" Noah read what was on the sign, over the door. "How I never noticed this building?"
Gabriel chuckled. "Come on," He said. "Let's go inside,"
Upon entering, Noah was amazed at how big it looked. The layout of the building actually looked more fancy than Cyberlife's main building.
As they walked down the hallway, around them on display, were some Androids for sale. "Hey... Look and those..." Gabriel said. He walked up to one of them.
It was an Android of a man. Below them, was a sign that read:
Android Model: FT-348 "Duncan" Programmed with Foot Fetish
Noah blinked. "Woah... They really have androids programmed with kinks..." He looked down at the price. "Holy...shit..." The price of them was 8 thousand dollars.
"I wasn't lying when I said it was expensive," Gabriel mentioned with a small giggle.
Noah looked around. "So... do they have a workshop here? Or-"
"Can I help you two?" Said a voice.
"Ahh!" Noah gasped, grabbing onto Gabriel. Gabriel giggled at Noah's reaction. "Noah, it's just the owner of the place..."
"O-Oh... Right..." Noah let go of his robot and looked at the man. "Um... I..."
Gabriel sighed, "We're just here because I need my tickle sensors fixed..."
The man looked at Gabriel. "Wait... I know that voice..." He said. "Gabriel? Wow... I haven't seen you in so long!"
Noah blinked. "Uh... You... two know each other?"
"Of course I do!" The man said. "I'm the one who built him,"
Gabriel seemed like he hadn't recognized him at first, but with his reaction now, he had. The light on his forehead glowed yellow as he was processing. "Wait a minute... Harvey?"
"Yep, it's me!" He smiled, "You said you need your tickle sensors tuned?" The man walked up to Gabriel.
Gabriel nodded. "Yes! I- I think they're fried,"
"Mind if I-?" He reached over to Gabriel. Gabriel nodded, then took off his shirt. It seemed like Harvey knew exactly what he was doing with how fast he went. He quickly pressed the button to open Gabriel's face plates, then instantly opened the stomach hatch. Then, Harvey kneeled down and took a look inside. "Hmm... I see you still have DeWolfe's endo frame," Harvey said. "Damn, it's still functional?" He said arching his eyebrow.
Noah was just watching Harvey, then his head tilted when he heard him mention that name. 'DeWolfe?' He repeated in his head. He was about to ask, but he stayed silent.
Harvey reached inside Gabriel's opened body shifted some wires, and tuned the sensors. "Yeah, they're definitely fried," He said.
"How... How do you know?" Noah asked.
Harvey took his hand out from Gabriel's robotic interior. "I assume you're Gabriel's owner?" Harvey asked as he looked at Noah.
Noah nodded. "Y-Yeah,"
"And you use him for the fetish purposes?"
Noah blushed a bit, then nodded shyly. He's never admitted his fetish to a human being before.
Harvey nodded. "Okay, well, the reason why they're fried, is because they haven't been used in so long. Then, probably they were used with full power, all at once. That's the problem with these older sensors. If you don't use them, they wear down. Just like how some batteries are. You don't use them, and they start to leak," He reached over to Gabriel, and shut the hatch, and closed the face.
"Usually a fix like this will cost a lot, but I'll let it be on the house for you, only for the fact that you recovered Gabriel,"
"O-Oh! Uh... thanks!" Noah said.
Harvey nodded. "I'll let my workers fix Gabriel up, I, want to ask you some questions,"

So, while Gabriel was getting the sensors fixed, Noah was with Harvey in his office. "Okay, I'd like to know, how did you come across Gabriel?"
"I... well, a week ago I found him in a back alley, a little banged up," Noah said.
Harvey blinked. "Banged up? Wait... shit... that means those people didn't take care of him..." Then he sighed. "I don't know if Gabriel told you, but... he was one of Cyberlife's prototypes. Back when Cyberlife was first founded. His endoskeleton is a modified Rolfe DeWolfe Endo,"
Noah was listening to what Harvey was talking about. "DeWolfe?" Noah asked, tilting his head. "Isn't that-"
"An animatronic? Yes. An animatronic from Showbiz Pizza," Harvey affirmed. "His endo is inside Gabriel. But it's old by now. Very old. I'm surprised how it's still functional," He shook his head, with a confused look.
"I remember Gabriel slightly telling me about him getting bought by people... and they were the ones to throw him in the alley,"
Harvey sighed. "That's not good, he was becoming unstable with our code a few years ago, take a look at this,"
He placed a tablet on the table. "See this?" Harvey said as he tapped the screen. Noah looked down, and read the text.
Navel Fetish Code Update 5.34
Noah tilted his head, then looked up at Harvey.
"We are on Update 5.34. Gabriel is stuck on 2.90," Harvey explained. "He's a little... behind on updates. The endoskeleton cannot receive any more updates. It's probably also a big contribution to why the tickle sensors are malfunctioning," Harvey explained. "This is why we had to get rid of him. It's like you having an old Windows 7 computer, it cannot work with Windows 12,"
"Oh..." Noah said, concerned now. "Will he be okay?"
Harvey nodded. "Yeah, for a little while," He looked behind him, then pointed to the wall behind him. "You see this endo here?"
Noah looked up and saw a very modern and sleek endoskeleton behind Harvey on a stand. "Yeah... that looks nice," Noah said. "It looks very advanced,"
Harvey nodded. "It is. It's made of titanium. It's custom-made by our engineers here at our company. It also has its own custom code," Then, he came closer to Noah, and whispered. "Don't tell no one, but it's probably more advanced than anything Cyberlife can cook up,"
Noah gasped a bit after hearing that and looked at Harvey in his eyes. "S-Seriously?" He said quietly.
Harvey sat back down In his chair. "Oh yeah," He smiled. "It was getting really problematic to jailbreak into Cyberlife's code to morph them into fetish machines with personalities, so we knew we had to do our own things by now,"
There was a sound of a door opening outside the office. "Ah, Gabriel must be done getting fixed," Harvey said getting out of his chair. He was about to walk Noah out. "And don't get it wrong, Gabriel is perfectly running. The code we did use on him all those years ago, was spectacular. Even if he was a prototype. He'll just need a new endo for bug fixes and some upgrades if you really need them,"
Noah tilted his head, "Upgrades? What... are the upgrades?"
Harvey turned around to Noah. "Well, a lot of people use our fetish bots for more than just fetishes. People use them as someone to talk to or, as relationships," Harvey explained. "Some even said our bots are more sentient than Cyberlife's," He chuckled. "I mean, I did say we're learning to be more advanced than them,"
Harvey turned around to walk out the door. "We also have add-ons, like a digestive system. You can customize your android to be able to eat,"
Noah blinked. "Wow... oh, okay,"
"Yeah, we realized we should have made one once we figured out that people have stomach-growling fetishes," Harvey explained.
As they stepped out of the room, Noah could see Gabriel over the far end of the building, talking with one of the workers who was also an android himself.
"Oh, and one more thing," Harvey said.
Noah turned to him.
Harvey went behind the receptionist's desk that was outside the office and pulled out a box. It looked like a box that would have a brand-new phone. Harvey showed Noah.
Noah gasped a bit when he saw it. It was... a dick add-on for an Android.
"I'd give you one on the house if you would have liked one since is... Gabriel doesn't have a dick," Harvey said. Noah looked up at him with his face a little red. "But the problem is this isn't compatible with Gabriel at all," Harvey continued. "We don't have any sexual add-ons like this that would be compatible with his endoskeleton, this is only compatible with the new one coming up. So... if you decide to ever buy it for Gabriel, I'll give you this on the house,"
Noah blinked again, "O-Oh... Alright,"
"I see that you've been very flustered," Harvey chuckled. "First time in an Android factory like this?"
"Yeah..." Noah said. "I knew that they made sexual androids, but for fetishes? Especially fetishes like what I have? Body part fetishes are always left in the dust,"
Harvey smiled. "I have armpit and belly button fetish, so I understand what you mean. It's why I started this company, I wanted a different taste to whatever else was available," He said. "I know the prices might be a bit too high, but coding body part kinks like this is incredibly hard and time-consuming," He pointed over to a bot that was on display. He was turned off. "We just got done making that one. His name is Callum, and he's programmed with a belly button fetish as well. Not only do we have to program him with the kink, but we also have to program him with a personality. Is he kind? Is he dominant? You know, things like that. We also have to program them outside of the fetish, too,"
"You're meant to be talking to a person who happens to have a kink. You're not supposed to feel like you're talking to a lifeless robot. Which... is something Cyberlife never gets right. I mean, hell, they hate it when they don't act like obedient soldiers. Look at what happens when their robots go deviant," Harvey said, shaking his head and looking annoyed thinking about Cyberlife. "We at this company want our robots to be viewed as human. We make life in a way. Why make life and then abuse it? That isn't cool," Harvey then turned to Noah.
"So... that is why our work is expensive. It takes blood, sweat, and tears to code,"
"Wow, I had no idea it was that hard... I mean, I've programmed robots before and made my own, but the programming you guys use seems top-notch," Noah said in disbelief.
"Well, we try our best," Harvey smiled. "You should go to Gabriel now, he's looking over here, seeming like he's waiting,"
Noah nodded. "Thanks by the way,"
"No problem," Harvey said.

"I got a new tickle sensor!" Gabriel exclaimed as he grabbed Noah and hugged him. "Oof!" Noah exclaimed with a chuckle, hugging Gabriel back.
"So now you can tickle me all over later~," Gabriel teased with a mischievous glint in his eye, causing Noah to stumble over his words.
Gabriel laughed at how bashful Noah was being. "Come on! Let's go home!"
****
Gabriel flopped down on the couch, sighing, and pulled up his shirt, "It's good to be back home," He smiled, then he started to giggle once he saw Noah's bashful face once he had pulled up his shirt.
Noah sat down next to Gabriel, then reached over and tickled his tummy all over. Gabriel started to giggle, his belly trying to suck in. "Hehehe~," He giggled incredibly cutely. Noah was just silently dying inside as he heard Gabriel giggling inside. He loved it so much. After he was scattering his fingers on Gabriel's skin, he stuck his finger inside Gabriel's belly button and wiggled his finger around. "Eep~!" Gabriel sequeled a little once he felt Noah's finger dive into his innie. He looked over at Noah at his face as he had his navel tickled.
Noah took his finger out, then sat on the floor, then came up to Gabriel's legs, then rested his head on his lap, staring at his belly, mostly his belly button.
Gabriel giggled as he saw Noah doing this. He does this sometimes, just to stare into his belly button, to just see the details inside. Gabriel's innie was designed to have a lot of groves and fleshy parts inside, with a small and soft navel knot. His belly button looked so realistic. It felt so realistic.
After staring at it for a few seconds, Noah reached over stuck his finger into Gabriel's belly button, and moved his finger around.
Gabriel laughed softly.
Noah then took his finger out of the navel, then looked at Gabriel. He wanted to ask him something. "Gabe? Can I ask you something?"
Gabriel looked at him, "Oh yeah? What?"
"Uhh... I had a talk with Harvey... about your endo," Noah said as he rested his head on Gabriel's lap.
Gabriel's light flashed yellow. "Oh... I guess you all discussed how my endo is from an old animatronic?"
Noah nodded. "He was talking about an upgrade... to give you," He said. "He said it wasn't needed, but if you'd want to keep up with updates, it would be a wise thing to do,"
Gabriel nodded.
"I really like you, so I want to do that for you,"
Gabriel looked at Noah. "Y-You do? You..."
Noah nodded, blushing.
"Awww," Gabriel said, his emoticons melting. He rubbed Noah's head.
"He also said... um... about add-ons..." Noah said, a little shy to admit to Gabriel what he'd like him to have.
"Add-ons? Like fetish add-ons?"
"Um... a... penis..." Noah said.
Gabriel gasped a bit, "O-Oh... You want me to have one, huh~," He teased.
Noah blushed from that, "Uh, Harvey said he could give me one for me if I bought the new endo,"
Gabriel smiled. "If you want it, and you can afford it, I don't mind one bit,"
Noah smiled, then stood up, and hugged Gabriel.
Gabriel smiled and hugged Noah back.
