Work Text:
Things were quiet down in the basement of the facility. Beta was accustomed to the quiet. It was all she knew growing up. But now, since being rescued by her newfound sister and her friends, the quiet seemed suffocating. She found herself seeking distraction more and more, discussing the ongoing situation with GAIA and working hard. And in her down time when she wasn’t researching on her own she found a loose exploit in the network between everyone’s focus. It gave someone as intelligent as her the ability to see through their focus. She tried not to pry too often, but when the quiet got too much she decided to check in with those upstairs.
Most days it was pretty normal. They were either learning from Gaia or working with each other. Errand was easily distracted with old world sports. Kotallo spent his time training. Zoe was focused mostly on helping her land gods, the machines that fertilize the fields of the Utaru tribe. And Varl was the natural peacekeeper, keeping everyone cooperating when he wasn’t with Zoe. Aloy’s focus was protected from her backdoor, a firewall from spyware so she never got to see through her eyes. They never realized she was spying. She knew they’d object. They’d remind her the offer to visit them in person was always open. But she wasn’t ready for that level of interaction. Old habits are hard to break. But they were patient. Particularly Varl.
That’s probably why he’s the one she’s developed a crush on. Or maybe it was simply a fixation. Varl was the one who made the most effort. And he was kind to her. So she found herself watching him most, using Zoe’s focus to bring up his holographic image when she was alone. She’d listen to their intimate conversations and pretend he was talking to her instead. It was pathetic she knew, but it was a nice fantasy to fall into. Her favorites were when that intimacy became physical and she got to pretend a lot more.
At one point she paused her work on the device they were going to use to contain Hephaestus to catch a glimpse of Varl and caught him being brought to their room by Zoe. Realizing what she was about to bear witness too Beta raced back to her room and sealed the door shut. She caught the eye of the holographic image of Elisabeth Sobek she kept in her room, a connection to where she came from, her mother in a way, and blushed. “Don’t judge” she whispered to her, climbing onto her mat and hacking back into the two focuses she needed. She got a holographic image from the live feed of their devices as Varl and Zoe began kissing, sitting down watching intently with jealous envy.
It was always awkward for her when she spied on these intimate moments, the invasion of privacy not lost on her, but she always found herself entranced when she saw how affectionate Varl was to Zoe as they embraced each other. Beta would sit on the floor with her knees pulled up and stare as he took the Utaru woman into his arms and made love to her. She could get audio through the focus but she chose to mute it. It let her imagine the sounds they were making as they removed their clothes, their outfits falling away revealing their naked bodies to each other. Zoe was very attractive and slim but Varl was larger and muscular and every time seeing him too Beta’s breath away. Her body would get warm and she found an insistent ache between her legs. Until she came here she never learnt the concept of sex or arousal, but GAIA was kind enough to educate her when she noted how uncomfortable she became the first time she experienced the sensations. Learning to masturbate under the tutorage of an AI wasn’t the most bizarre experience she’d had in her life but she was glad when she got to do it on her own. So when the ache came she knew how to rub herself to make it better. When it grew more insistent she would take her pants off and sit cross legged rubbing her pussy with her hand. Her eyes remained on the loving couple she was watching as they kissed and pleasured each other. Beta’s head tilted when Zoe knelt down to stroke Varl’s penis, her eyes transfixed to how big it grew in her hands. She tried to imagine that being in her hands, in her pussy, wondering if it could fit in her. When Zoe put it in her mouth she blinked. It never occurred to her she could suck on it. What would it taste like? Her mouth started watering thinking about it.
Her private masturbation session intensified when Varl guided Zoe to the floor, crawling on top of her preparing to mount her. Beta bit her lip and tapped her focus adjusting the settings so she could see through Zoe’s eyes only. The holographic image shifted so Varl’s image remained, his position hovering in front of her. Beta shivered nervously as he crawled closer, his eyes boring into her as she leaned back onto her elbows, her legs spread out in front of her. Front this position it looked like Varl was leaning closer to Beta, his erection hovering in front of her sex. She looked down at it and wished it was real, that she was there instead of Zoe. She looked up at the handsome Nora, his hand extending towards her cheek only to pass through it. She pretended she could feel it, reaching up to stroke his face in return. When he lowered his head to kiss her she closed her eyes, pressing her lips together wondering what they would taste like. She did her best to let her imagination play with her senses, attempting to follow Varl’s hand motions as he caressed Zoe’s body, moving her arms and legs to match his actions. It wasn’t perfect but it would do. When his muted mouth spoke she imagined it was her name he was speaking, her body he was kissing, her neck and chest she was caressing. Her pussy he was penetrating as he cock slipped into her body.
Since she couldn’t be fucked by a hologram Beta compensated with her fingers, reaching down to finger her cunt in time with his thrusts. She was getting better at coordinating the motions, keeping her eyes on him as he rocked his hips between her legs, his gaze staring lustfully straight at her. She moaned along with him, her body jerking to the sensations as she kept thrusting her fingers deeper, her toes curling in escasty. When his head threw back to climax she curled her fingers and orgasmed with him, her body erupting with pleasure.
When it passed she quickly shut off the connection so she could collapse onto the mat, her chest rising and falling as she recovers from her orgasm. It was still a thrilling feeling being able to cum, an experience she was glad to have discovered. She hoped one day to match it to a real life lover. For now she settled for her fantasy, switching the link back on and finding Varl and Zoe cuddling together on the floor. She rolled onto her side beside the image of Varl, Zoe on the opposite side, staring longingly at him as she shuffled closer closing her eyes pretending to share his bed.
