~●Harvest Season●~

🐰

It was almost a routine for me now to visit the others during break. I used to just get them off their asses because they're overstaying in the break room. But now I come by everytime to visit (Y/n). Because of her, I started to hang around Cody, Anna and Aiden too. They were an okay bunch, but I mostly looked forward to walking (Y/n) back to Chica's Shoppe.

The other three were talking about food or something while I tried my best to contribute their conversation, but couldn't help staring at (Y/n) from time to time. She was silently sipping away at her drink, making faces when she couldn't get the tapioca pearls to fit in the straw.

I smiled, a feeling of warmth and happiness rushed through me, almost like if you watch a cute puppy video and couldn't help but gush over the puppy.

I could feel my smile turn into a grin while (Y/n) continued to struggle with her drink.

"..that vanilla is actually a very good flavor. And if I do remember correctly, Vanessa, didn't you say that vanilla was your favourite flavor?" Aiden's voice turned from static into a clear tone when I realized he was talking to me. I blinked rapidly, looking away from my precious little carrot and turned my head to him.

"Hm? Oh-- wh---

Yeah!...yes.. that is my favorite." I rushed in to say while trying to think of something to add,

"Its pretty good. Though, people think it's bland."

"Well," Aiden scoffed and from the corner of my eye, I could see Anna roll her eyes then rubbed them to hide her sass.

"I, for one think that vanilla is a magnificent flavor. As you said, though not sweet, the flowery explosion in your mouth makes up for a satisfying experience. I was just telling these two numbskulls how good of a flavor it is. And I must say, your taste in ice cream is probably as good as your taste in me--"

"Ughh!! Dude stoooopp!" Cody groaned while Anna hissed with second hand embarrassment. (Y/n) started to have coughing fit from what I assume was a reaction from Aiden's speech because she gasped while her lips were still on the straw.

"Wh--t---Th---F--ck?!" She coughed out as she beat on her chest to try and stop choking.

The others, except Aiden, cackled and I couldn't help but laugh out too before getting up to firmly patting and rubbing her back.

"Damn bro, you aight??" Cody said trying not to laugh again.

"Maybe you should swallow your drink instead of inhaling it. What were you even doing?" Aiden said with a raised brow.

"You okay, Carrots?" I giggled, patting her back a few more times. "Yeah.. I'm fine." (Y/n) said with a sigh of relief when she realized she could breathe properly again. She inhaled, a hand daintily on her chest.

"Ya better not die on me now, Carrots, you're still gonna have to clean up Chica's Shoppe after your shift. Really did a number on the janitor bot." I ruffled (Y/n)'s hair and she groaned at me.

"Hey, that wasn't my fault! I didn't know the bot was there watching!! It was being creepy!" She crossed her arms, a childish pout on her face.

But even I could see the uncomfortability and unnerve on her face when she talked about the janitor bot.

Awe.. I'm sorry. My poor baby Carrots..

"(Y/n), it was a robot...

And you punched it." Anna snickered.

"You're lucky that the company didn't sue you after that."

"Yeah, pretty sure they don't know about it. I mean.. its been a few weeks already and you still aren't in jail!" Cody grinned.
"Damn, they got some scary lawyers.."

"Fine! I'm sorry I punched a robot.." (Y/n) mumbled quietly.

I laughed and pinched her cheek a little, making her yelp.

"Don't worry about it now. How's your hand?"

(Y/n) looked down on her bandaged right hand from the bot punch incide t and rubbed it slightly. "Oh..its uh..doing okay for now." She smiled up at me. I couldn't help pinch her cheek again for that.

So adorable..

"Owh!! Vahnnesha!!" She whined. Cody and Anna laughed in amusement and so did I. However, I could sense Aiden's eyes burning a hole through my head.

I yawned and stretched my arms high above my head as I walked beside (Y/n), both of us making our way to Chica's Shoppe.

"Why are you tired?" She cocked her head to the side a little while she looked at me with a raised brow. "I should be the sleepy one here. After all, you kept telling me about my 3 hour left shift and an additional possibly 2 more hours because I have to clean up the customer's messes." She ranted with sarcasm.

"Hey, my job ain't easy either, Carrots." I sighed and put my arm around her after stretching. (Y/n) stumbled closer to me and chuckled.

"Oh yeah? What's so hard about sitting infront of a bunch of computers all day huh?" She nudged my side, making me giggle.

"Well for starters. I make sure the building is safe. I have to scout out the entire building, even the utility tunnels. Hmm, let's see here..what else. Oh! I deal with a lot of angry parents who are impatient assholes...you're welcome by the way." I winked at her and continued.

"And yeah! I'm pretty much the guardian of this place."

(Y/n) snorted. "Alright then, guardian of the pizzaplex. I request that you help me during cleanup after my shift."

She smirked back at me smugly. Probably thinking that she just got revenge on me somehow by 'giving me more work.'

I grinned back, earning a confused look from her.

"That's a pretty good idea, Carrots.."

"Come by my office after your shift and I'll help you out okay?" I put my hands on my hips, looking at (Y/n) with a smile.
"Yeah, you better not bail out on me." She waved and went back into her respective station. I chuckled and went on my way.

Humming a small tune, I used the utility tunnels to reach one of the security offices. There were a lot, even though I was really the only guard around here.

I made sure of that..

Atleast the damn security bots help out a lot.

A few minutes and turns and I reached a rusty door that I pushed open, entering a room with a numerous amount of monitors that displayed sections of the Pizzaplex. I focused on one cameras that showed what was happening in Chica's Shoppe. (Y/n) was talking to the customers that were lined up.

I felt a wide smile on my face and sighed dreamily, turning to the broken janitor bot that was laying the floor in the corner.

"Carrots can throw quite the punch, hm?" I picked up the severed head of the bot. Sparks flew out of the wires as I rubbed the dent on its face with my thumb.

"Are you having fun with your little play date, Vanny?" His distorted voice echoed in my mind.
