This is Alex, the young man you fell in love with... Or so you thought.
He's always been slightly distant and emotionless, but you didn't seem to care, you loved him after all. He does smile, though only occasionally. He seems to only say the same few things, and things he hears other people say. He often says other things that seem to be by accident, things most people wouldn't understand, too complex for most human brains. His eyes always seem like the emotional is completely gone. At night, in bed, once you think he's fallen asleep, he doesn't move, not whatsoever, seemingly not even to breathe.
You notice most of this, but don't care too much. There's only one thing you never did quite pick up on. Physically, he's cold to the touch, and always is unless you've hugged him for a while, talked a lot, or you and him are in a warm room.
Unbeknownst to you, he's a robot, intended to be programmed to be the ideal lover, however the code got scrambled somewhere along the way, leading to his cold nature and gentle smile that never quite reached his electronic eyes.
