Welcome to Uncanny Valley
Prompt: "Dean, a lonely engineer/scientist, has a secret. He’s attracted to young boys, but he doesn’t want to risk getting caught nor does he actually want to hurt a child. He decides to create robot!Cas, a legal and 'ethical' alternative. Cas is highly advanced and looks like a very real 9-12 year old boy. He can do anything a human could do: he can move, walk, and talk, perform tasks, and can serve as an outlet for Dean’s desires. Though at first Dean only sees him as a very expensive sex toy, he begins to develop feelings for the robot after a while which leads to much angst and thought. Would like to see Dean starting to expect human things out of Cas before catching himself, like telling him to come eat and then remembering Cas can’t eat or asking him his opinions on things before realizing that Cas can’t form opinions, all of his opinions are just programmed in. Dean eventually even wants genuine love from Cas, though he knows he'll probably never get it. Up to author whether or not Cas can ever feel anything back (maybe Dean programs feelings into him? Maybe he’s more advanced than Dean realises? Maybe it’s magic? Maybe it’s Maybelline???)."
