My Best Friend Nines [9S x Reader Fanfic]

Shopping for Nines

"...That concludes our report on the events surrounding the alien wreckage."

Finally! Just hearing 2B explain the whole incident we encountered to our Commander was getting so boring...I hate reports, why do we always have to do them?

9S thought as he tried hard not to fall on the ground and sleep. He and 2B had just came back from examining the underground tunnels, where they thought the aliens were hiding...but they were not. There weren't even ANY aliens that existed as of now. They have been gone for YEARS and no one in YoRHa knew about it until today.
The Commander hummed in response to the report, putting a hand to her chin as she closed her eyes, deep in thought. She then opens them, intensely staring at the two androids.

"Then they were dead this whole time...The Council of Humanity needs time to formulate a plan. Until then, this information must be kept confidential. Speak of it to no one."

Confidential? Why can't we tell anyone about this?! T-This is supposed to be good news! Well, for the humans that is. We still have to figure out how to get rid of the other machines...and Adam and Eve for that matter.

The Commander then gives the two androids another mission and that was to look into Pascal.

Pascal? The one from the village? Hmm...maybe he could've know something about the aliens being dead. We'll have to ask him...

After 9S and 2B leave, 9S sighs.

"Man, the Commander sure is a slave driver, huh? And now we have to go back to the city ruins."

All he wanted was just a short nap.

All (Y/n) wanted was to just be left alone for some time.

The family members didn't come back till the next day, to which they were shocked to find their home filled with several dead bodies of government officials. Nines had confessed to them that it was all of his doing and that he was forced to do it, for they were after (Y/n).

(Y/n) never came out of her room since the terrifying incident.

And Nines never felt so lonely till now.

It had been a long week and Lolita and the rest of the gang had enough. They wanted to see Nines and (Y/n) smiling again. What kind of family would they be if they never try to make their best friends happy? So one day, Lolita approaches Nines from behind, pinching his cheek while his eyes were focused on a book he was reading.

"Hey Nines? You doing alright?"

"Yeah...I'm fine."

Nines mutters as he glances at the door to (Y/n)'s room, hoping that she would come out and give him a hug.

She never did.

He sighed as he puts the book down, rubbing his head as he felt very foolish for getting his hopes up. Pod, who was sitting next to him, just silently watched as Lolita pats his shoulder.

"Hey man, listen, (Y/n) is traumatized from this whole government hunting thing. She needs time to recover, you know?"

"Yeah, I know...I've read from somewhere that states this sort of thing is known as PTSD."

"Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It is a condition that can develop after a person has been exposed to a traumatic event. In this case, (Y/n) is traumatized from almost dying."

Pod states as Nines pats it's head.

"It may take months or even years to get through...but it is a strong mental disorder that anyone can have, anytime and anywhere."
