drabble: binary. Andrew!bot/Andrew

[binary] - Andrew!bot/Andrew
remember ten years ago when dorrie6 asked for a few drabble challenges and got five billion? i was helping her answer them. this is another. for spiritkitty

This Andrew scrolls through files, flick flick flick past maps, past Doctor Who trivia, past memories of Warren, real and fabricated. Memories when all went right.

That Andrew goes dizzy with possibility. This Andrew blinks. This Andrew licks his lips. That Andrew wonders if this Andrew is exactly the same. If he's allergic to soybeans. If he has that mole. If he wants to be touched there and if that will make him forget the things he doesn't really remember.

When this Andrew touches that Andrew, for a moment he wonders how Warren knew. And then he forgets Warren altogether.

Oh, man. I've a huge weakness for Warren's bots, and this is wonderful. Love the this/that rhythm and the union at the end. Gorgeously creepy and lovely.
