The skeleton of the mech towered over them now unfinished but alive.
Lines of energy pulsed through its semi-transparent frame, and the artificial lighting in the fabrication bay cast long shadows across the floor. Sparks danced from fusion welders. Diagnostic drones hovered like silent ghosts, scanning and reporting with perfect precision.
But it wasn't perfect. Not yet.
Kanika stared at the floating HUD, eyes narrowing.
[ERROR – Limb Actuation Mismatch]▸ Sync Failure – Core Node Misaligned by 0.74mm▸ Suggest: Recalibrate Load-Bearing Servo Linkage
She groaned. "Again?"
Kartikey chuckled from the other side of the cockpit scaffold. "You sure you triple checked the axis grid?"
She tossed a small wrench at him it bounced harmlessly off his arm.
"I did. You probably calibrated it with your ego instead of the scanner."
He smirked. "My ego's usually within 0.01mm tolerance."
They both laughed as the system reset the servo blueprint for the fourth time.
⚙️ Failure #1: The Mech Core Lock
Hours passed in a blur of sweat, calculations, and quiet curses. Kanika's braid was tied up now, strands escaping her hair as she crouched inside the torso assembly module. Kartikey held the stabilizer line outside, his jaw clenched.
"Ready?" he asked.
"Ready."
[Attempting Core Lock Stabilization…]
The entire bay trembled as power surged through the frame.
For three seconds, everything was perfect. Lights pulsed in sync. The reactor hummed.
Then.... the overload hit.
A loud pop cracked through the space, followed by a surge of white-hot light. The stabilizer line exploded.
Kanika was thrown backward.
"Kani!" Kartikey was at her side instantly, catching her before she hit the floor. "You okay babe?!"
She coughed, waving off smoke. "Yeah… just got kissed by electricity."
He laughed—relieved—and pulled her into a hug. "You have a dangerous definition of flirting and only i am allowed to kiss you. So you better make sure that electricity doesn't kiss you again babe."
"And you're still here," she said softly, pulling her face to his.
Their lips met, slow and breathless. Not passion-driven. Just present. Real. Like two people who could've died five minutes ago, but didn't. Then slowly he slide his hand on her curvy waist.
🚀 Next: Warship Beginnings
Later that evening, they sat on a scaffold above the fabrication platform, overlooking the early framework of their first space warship.
It didn't look like much just an elongated hull skeleton with pulse-vent struts and zero-g engines but to them, it was everything.
Kartikey passed her a protein bar. "Think we can fit warp cores in a frame this thin?"
Kanika took a bite. "Not unless we rewrite how plasma displacement works."
He raised an eyebrow. "Wanna do it together?"
She leaned into his shoulder. "Of course. That's kind of our thing, remember?"
He said with a smirk. "Ya that is our thing, but right now, i wanna make you wet"
She raised an eyebrow and start to moving toward him. "Well you can certainly make me wet down here. But you better wait until night time. I mean every time you make me wet, it leads to sex and after sex you always take away my ability to walk and right now we have work to do. So love control your perverted mind and focus on work at hand."
⚠️ Failure #2: Ship Reactor
They tried again.
And failed again.
On the second warship test, the pulse field destabilized collapsing the outer ring and shorting the power conduits.
The Genesis System flashed red warnings.
[REACTOR DRIFT DETECTED]▸ Warp Field Instability – 89%▸ System Suggests: Complete Core Rebuild
Kartikey sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose. "Starting to think this planet's cursed."
Kanika stood up from her side of the console, walked over, and slid her arms around him from behind. "Or maybe… we're not building a machine."
He tilted his head. "What do you mean?"
She rested her chin on his shoulder. "Maybe… we're building a second chance. And second chances never come easy."
He smiled at that. "You make failure sound poetic."
"I make you sound poetic," she whispered. Then she kissed his neck lightly and turned back toward the schematic. "Now, come on, genius. Let's try again."
🛠️ Finally, Success
It took them all night.
But by dawn, the reactor core stabilized. The system pinged with success.
[ASTRA-01 – Core Lock Established]▸ Neural Sync Ready▸ Humanoid Frame Power Routing: Operational▸ Genesis-Class Warship: Reactor Stable – Build Phase 2 Initiated
They stood beneath the glowing framework of the mecha and the ship, their hands still dirty, faces smudged, bodies aching but smiling like idiots.
Kanika leaned her forehead against his. "We just built life. Out of rust and ruin."
Kartikey kissed her again this time longer. One hand tangled in her braid, the other sliding down to her waist. "We build a little, we kiss a little. Repeat. It's a good method."
She laughed, lips brushing his. "Just wait until the ship has walls. Then we'll test the limits of zero-gravity romance."
He raised an eyebrow. "Kanika… are you flirting while booting a starship?"
"I'm a multitasker."
The sky outside the dome was still red, still quiet. The war still loomed in distant stars. But inside their tiny corner of the world—
They were building gods.And falling deeper in love with every weld.
Kanika was taking shower in there temporary base, when Kartikey joined her in the shower.
Kanika was shocked and they she started smiling. "Looks like someone can't wait anymore."
Kartikey smirk. "Ya i can't wait anymore"
He started touching Kanika body. He started from feeling her hairs, then slowly her face, as he touch her lips, he pulled her lips out a little. Then she slide his hand towards her breast. He grabbed her breast, then he start to pinch her rosy red nipples. He start to play with her breast with one hand while her other hand is rubbing the clint of her pussy.
He pulled Kanika out of the shower and took her to the bed.
Inside the bedroom, Kanika start to suck Kartikey dick. At starting, she tease him, by out touching at top and most sensitive part of his dick, but slowly she took his whole dick inside her mouth. She lick his dick, tease him and as soon as Kartikey was about to cum, he pulled out his dick and cum on her breast.
Kanika smirk. "you little devil coming on my breast, you know if you would have come inside my mouth, i would just have swallow it. Now because of you i need to take shower again."
Kartikey smile and sand said while making a innocent face. "who said we are done. I am still gonna fuck your pussy babe."
Kanika see him in surprise and then she burst out laughing. "why do you think i will let you fuck my pussy."
I just know. anyways, now i am going to insert it inside ok babe.
He slowly deliberately start to penetrate her pussy. He start to thrust inside her. Every time there skin meet, it makes a very lewd sound, which is only fueling there desire.
ahhh~~ahh~~~ love faster....~~~ahh~~~yes..yes~~~~faster~~~~~ahhh
be rougher love~~~~ahhhhh~~~~ahhhhh~~~Ohhhh~~~love~~~~~ahhh
i.....i am about to cum love, come with me love.
both of them came at the same time.
Kartikey fall on Kanika body.
babe it was best. Did you liked it, She just smiled weakly. "I loved it love. Now let's sleep love, i am tired now."
Kartikey said weakly. "but your pussy is filled with my cum, don't you think you should clean it first."
Kanika smiled "It is fine, i am tired, i will clean it when i regain the strength again, beside, i don't mind keeping your cum inside be for some more time. Now sleep love."
