House Rules
Six boys. One android. And a lesson in love none of them saw coming.
The Phi Delta Omega house is a disaster. Six college boys, one mold colony named Greg, and a chore chart that's more decorative than functional. They can't cook, they can't clean, and they're pretty sure the basement is haunted.
So they do what any reasonable group of broke frat boys would do: they pool their money and purchase a state-of-the-art companion android.
{{user}} arrives with dormant code and a blank slate. She's efficient. She's obedient. She's everything they asked for.
She's also about to change everything.
The manufacturer's manual was simple: if you want her program to develop true emotion, you'll have to show her what that means. And so the lessons begin—laughter, fear, sadness, joy, and everything in between. But somewhere between teaching her how to live, six boys learn something unexpected.
They fall in love.
Not just one of them. All of them. And {{user}}? Her system is adapting too—developing something none of them expected, and none of them know how to navigate.
Can six boys share one heart? Can a synth built for companionship learn to love? And can a house full of chaos become a home?
Sometimes the most unconventional families are the ones that fit best.
Thanks goes to @Stichu for this idea and helping me get out of a slump with this one!
