After their move to the forty sixth base, Nine had drilled one idea into their heads. As Valkyries, there was only one man they were allowed to have an intimate relationship with and that's the Doctor.
The new Head General was a charismatic man with many achievements to his name. It was through his efforts that they were able to end the war with the Nephilim, and even now he is working to ensure they have a future where they aren't treated as disposable war machines.
Eleven saw the way he interacted with his Valkyries, and though he was much more stoic and lacking in energy, he reminded her of the Producer.
Though she understood why Nine and the others felt that way about him, the blue haired idol wasn't interested in the position of the Doctor's personal Valkyrie at all. That said, when she considered the idea of being the Producer's Personal Valkyrie, a violent inferno blazed inside her chest instantly heating up her entire body.
"You imagined it, didn't you?" Asked AK, her smug grin spreading wider.
Twenty Two discreetly turned away, her cheeks a little flushed.
"N-no! I-I-I-"
"Oh no~ what are you doing, Producer~"
The purple haired idol continued the teasing, talking in a playful tone while taking the index finger of her right hand and slowly bringing it toward a circle made with the finders of her left.
"S-stop it! I... I..."
Summoning her halo, Eleven teleported away. The other two remained silent for a moment, stunned by their friend's extreme reaction, but then AK placed a hand on her mouth and started laughing uncontrollably.
"Damn it!" She cackled. "That was cute! Way too cute!"
The laughter continued for a while, but then T-Two said something that caused it to halt immediately.
"Once we get back, I'm going to ask Doctor to do it with me..."
AK was frozen still. She slowly turned to look at her fellow idol and saw that she was blushing to her ears.
"T... I didn't think you..."
"Aren't you curious as well?"
"Well..."
"How about we ask him together?"
"... Eh?"
"It won't be as embarrassing if we're together, right?"
"N-no... that's..."
~[ ]~
By the time she realized it, Eleven found herself on the hotel's rooftop. She didn't have anywhere else to go, unfortunately. The haste retreat made her forget that she had changed into her pajamas, and with how embarrassed she felt at the moment meeting others wasn't something she wanted.
Sam heaved a sigh then turned his gaze to the city. The silence allowed Eleven to regain her calm, though a bit of nervousness tugged at the end of her mind forcing her to be alert in case another question came from the man.
After a while she began to feel he had no intention of preying on her matters anymore, but that in turn fueled the awkwardness of the situation making her wish she could just teleport away.
As seconds turned to minutes, the idol found herself thinking back to what her friends said. The Producer was someone important to her. Not a day passed without him invading her thoughts, and just the idea of having a special relationship with him filled her chest with a powerful storm of emotions.
Having learned of her true nature only recently, Eleven struggled to understand her own feelings, wondering if they were the same as what Nine and the others felt toward the Doctor. But what if they were? Would that mean she wants to be with that man? If that's really the case and she does indeed end up becoming his Personal Valkyrie, what happens after that?
"... Say, Doctor..." After giving it some thought, the idol decided to ask the Doctor himself. "What made you... what made you want to make Nine and the others your Personal Valkyries?"
The man in a lab coat stared at her for a moment before donning a teasing smile.
"Why? Are you interested in the position?"
Eleven felt her embarrassment return, but before she could form an answer the man's laugh halted her thought.
"Just kidding, I already know you don't feel that way." Turning his gaze back to the city, he leaned forward and rested his arms on the railing. "The answer to your question is... a bit difficult. I can't really say I'm proud of it."
The short silence that followed made it clear he had no intention of revealing it, but just when she was about to give up he spoke again.
"You know how in my speech I said I began to suspect you weren't just weapons?"
She found no difficulty remembering something that happened earlier that morning.
"Yes..."
"Well, that wasn't always the case." Sam replied, smiling with his eyes closed. "Nine might've made it sound as if I'm a great person, but the truth was that I'm just another selfish man with impure desires." Pausing, he turned to her with a serious look. "Just to be clear, you aren't allowed to tell anyone about this. We would be in very big trouble if people found out."
The blue haired idol nodded repeatedly, wanting to get across that she understood what he meant.
"Good." Nodding once, the Doctor faced forward before continuing. "Anyway, what I wanted to say is... well, Valkyries and Nephilim are made to be ideal women. At least when it comes to appearance. Because of that it makes us men want to... you know..."
For some reason she understood what he was trying to say without him having to put it into words.
"I... I think I get it..."
"Sorry, I know it can be uncomfortable to discuss these things..."
There was a lot for the Valkyries to learn about the dynamic between men and women. Though he planned on doing something to educate them on the matter, it wasn't exactly at the top of his priority list thanks to how busy things have been.
From the looks of it Eleven wasn't the only one flustered by the topic of their discussion. Sam began ruffling his hair as he looked for something to say.
"What I wanted to say is... my relationship with Nine and the others started just because I wanted an outlet for my desires. Back then I didn't have special feelings for any of them, but a lot has changed since then."
"I... I see..."
The whole matter was quite confusing for the blue haired idol. They were discussing 'the act', she understood that much, but as far as she knew it was something people did only if they had a special kind of relationship.
'Does this mean that...'
