A man of science [ tf2 x reader insert ]

Chapter 2

I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock blaring in my ears, i stretched out my arm to push the button to stop the noise but it didn't work. I almost threw the damn thing across the room until I hit the right button that stopped that horrible noise. I looked over at the time, it was 7:30 on a Sunday. I Sat up and put my glasses on before stretching my body to prepare it for what today has to come. I got out of bed and undressed out of my sleep wear to put something decent on. A white collared dress shirt with some brown pants and brown dress shoes should work. I got dressed and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and other things while I was in there.

When that was done I went outside to get the car ready to put all the boxes in the trunk, and then went back inside. I started getting a few boxes and putting them in the trunk, my mother also helped carry a few boxes out for me. I started to pack everything up in the car before noon and was pretty much done except one box laying on the ground. I read the box saying " inventions ", I opened the car door and put the box in the back seat on the floor so nothing could break. I closed the door and walked back inside feeling exhausted and decided to relax for a bit before leaving. My mother was going to drive me to the apartment and help unload the boxes so I don't have to do a lot before the interview. I sat down on the couch in the living room, wanting to feeling the cold air hit my skin.

" you loaded everything up? " I hear my mom say from the kitchen,

" yeah, everything is in the car, packed and ready to go. " I said nonchalantly feeling the crisp cold air hit my skin. I closed my eyes letting the air hit my face for a few minutes before my mother walked in and patted my shoulder,

" it's already 10:27, we should get going if you want to be on time for your interview later. " my mom said with a soft smile on her face. I quickly nod and grabbed one of my masks off the table next to the couch. It was red with black stripes. We walked to the car and got into our seats to start the trip. My mother pulled out of the driveway the went on the road. I stared at the terrain as always thinking to myself.

' this is going to be a long trip. ' I thought to myself while remembering to put on the mask I brought with me. There were a few blankets and pillows in the back seat just in case if I get cold or needed a nap. I decided I might as well get a few Zs in before I get to the apartment. I grabbed a blanket from the back the covered myself before resting my head on the door of the car. As I felt sleep take over me I saw the terrain run past my tired eyes.

I was in a dreamless sleep feeling peaceful for once, when all of a sudden I was shaken awake by my own mother telling me we have arrived at the apartment complex.

' damn I slept through the entire trip? ' I thought to myself being confused and accepted the fact I slept to maybe a two to three hour drive from home to this building. I also just realized she parked the car pretty close to the entrance of the building. I told her to wait in the car until I get the room key from the front desk. I got out and started walking into the building and went to the welcome desk in the front. I checked in and got my room key while getting weird looks from the people in the lounge area and the desk. It's always annoying seeing people look at me like that. The apartment was on the third floor on door 218. I walked back outside to the car to signal her to open the trunk and start grabbing a few boxes.

She carried maybe two to three boxes while I'm carrying four boxes. We careful carried the boxes into the building and then the elevator, I somehow managed to push the button to the third floor. When the elevator stopped and opened it's doors, then we started to find my room. We started walking down the hallway hearing the the normal things in the apartment building, normal conversations, tv noises blaring from the door, and the sound of people having sex in the evening. We walked past them not saying a word to each other, my mother being disgusted and disappointed in those people while I kept moving forward with a blank stare on my face. It wasn't important right now.

We got to the room finally, I got my key and unlocked the door, pushing it open with my hip. I set down the boxes on the ground as so did my mother. We did this for about an hour and a half before all the boxes were inside the apartment, scattered around to what looked like a little living room.

" well, go explore the apartment while I order some food for us. " my mom said with a genuine smile on her face.

I said " alright " and started looking around, there were about two bedrooms, one closet, one bathroom, and the small living room that's connected to the kitchen. Then I heard a doorbell ring a few minutes later, ' I guess I have a doorbell now ' I though while looking at the door. My mother opened it with a crack, grabbed something, and closed it back to its normal place.

" hope you like Chinese for dinner " she said, holding a bag of food with one hand while holding the door closed with the other.

" smells good " I said with a blank stare and decided to take to mask off finally to breathe in the scent of the new room. The room smelt like blossoms and other earthy smells, maybe a girl lived here before me? Or maybe a hippie?

" you coming to eat Ethan? " my mother asked from the kitchen, snapping me out of the trance and going over to the table and sitting in one of the two chairs. She gave me my food and then grabbed hers, I opened the Chinese box and looked at what was inside, chicken fried rice.

We both ate and then started opening some of the boxes, my mother said she will be back in a little bit to stock the fridge in the kitchen. She didn't have to but she insisted. I started unpacking my personal things in my room, then the other boxes. The room I chose for my bedroom had a bed in there already with a side table on the left, a desk with a computer of some sorts near the door against the wall, and a ceiling fan above the bed. I also brought the boxes that said " books ", " personal items ", and " clothes " into my room. ' I'll put the science equipment and the substances in that other room I saw that's empty ' I said in my head thinking of where everything is going to go and be at. I moved the boxes with " dangerous substances ", " tools ", " inventions ", and " science equipment " for right now because that room had nothing in it. I then put some of the normal things in my room like some shoes, the masks, and my glasses case.

When I was finished with my room, my mother came in through the front door with bags in her hands and arms walking towards the kitchen. I got out of my room and went to the kitchen, on the way to my mother I noticed a window in the living room. I guess I forgot that was there when I looked around.

" there all finished, packed full of healthy and delicious food and snacks. " she said from the kitchen. I finally walked in and indeed the fridge was full to the brim of healthy foods, I also saw a wooden bowl filled with fruit and a few avocados on the kitchen counter.

" thank you mom, I appreciate it. " I said with a smile and hugged her from behind.

" not a problem dear, I'll leave you to the unpacking and get out of your hair so you can do that interview in a few hours " she said smiling and started walking to the front door.

" have a safe drive home mom. I'll call you tomorrow if I got the job or not. "

" alright, see you sweetie! " she said closing the front door. I sighed and went back into the living room grabbing my mask and sat on the couch to try to relax for the interview in a few hours. I took a breath and relaxed, I worry a lot about the little thing, and have bad anxiety and other things that's related. If something wrongs happens or if anything goes wrong, My anxiety acts up and I worry a lot about it even though I don't show it. I got it from the...incident...years ago, I looked at the time from my phone, it was almost time for the interview.

' hope everything goes smoothly at that interview ' I thought worried if I could ever get to my dream.
