Chapter Text
"No one traumatizes these weirdly hot robots but me!"
—
After the events of the entire world exploding, literally consuming god, and miraculously getting a boyfriend, Uzi thought her story ended with a happy ending.
Well, not really.
To say the least, over the next few months of getting back into a 'new normal,' or whatever that was, it didn't feel right. It often felt like something was missing. Something oddly important. Someone weirdly hot. V.
Uzi slapped her visor, shaking her head. She's already dating N, thinking of V in that way would be considered cheating (at least to her)!
During these last few months, Uzi had been hanging out with V more often. It started off with helping each other with homework, then an occasional hangout session, to V coming over to her place whenever she pleased. As a result of such hangouts, Uzi had noticed things about V that she hadn't seen before. How pretty she was, how honeyed her voice was, how surprisingly nice she was, how.. everything about her was amazing.
Realizing her thoughts, once again, has turned to daydreaming about V, Uzi faceplants into a nearby pillow. At the top of her lungs, she screams into it.
As the purple haired drone continues to scream into her pillow, she hears a familiar robotic (and annoying) voice coming from behind her. "Annoyed groan. Can you please stop your bisexual panic? I would very much like my beauty sleep."
Uzi sits up at Cyn's comment, frowning as she turns to face them. "Beauty sleep? After you almost tried to destroy the universe?"
They continue to look at each other for a few moments in silence, before Cyn finally speaks.
"..Yes."
Uzi lets out a sarcastic laugh, before her tone turns into a more deadpan one. "Yeah, no." She stands up, beginning to pace back and forth around her room. "Until I figure out what the fuck's wrong with me, I'm not letting you sleep." Cyn decides to sulk by dragging herself on the ground as Uzi continues to think about what to do in this predicament.
A couple seconds pass. Then a few minutes. 15 minutes. Cyn finally breaks, deciding to say something at last. "Really annoyed sigh. Okay then, what can I do for you so I– or, well, we can fall asleep?"
"Make these stupidly weird feelings for V go away!" The goth drone yells a little too loudly, even causing herself to wince at her volume.
They sit in silence for a little while. Eventually, Cyn plays a finger snapping noise, coming up with a solution for the host’s problem. "Brain blast. What are some unqualifying traits of V’s you dislike?"
It takes a few seconds for Uzi to register the question, a bit taken aback by it. She thinks for a moment, before responding. "Well, uhh, I don’t like how V’s breath smells like oil, or how creepy and not cute her smile is, and how she leaves me random gifts on my bed, an–"
"Facepalm. You are really down bad for her," Cyn interrupts.
Uzi lets out an annoyed groan, running her hands through her hair. "But I don't wanna be this way!” The goth drone shouts, pulling at her hair, “I feel like a shitty girlfriend since I like someone else instead of my amazing boyfriend!" She faceplants onto her bed as she assaults a nearby with her fists, her anger shortly after coming to an end.
Silence fills the air, until it’s replaced by barely noticeable soft sniffles coming from the goth drone, followed by tears running down her screen.
“Deep sigh. Containing built up anger.” Cyn continues, "Jaded tone. Okay, how about this. Do you still love N?"
Uzi looks up, tears stained on her visor. She meekly nods, a small “mhm” escaping her voice box, along with a small yawn. She wipes her face in an attempt to hide the evidence that she was crying, not that it really helped.
"If you still love N, does it really matter? As long as you don't do anything weird with V, it should be fine." Uzi rocks back and forth in a ball, contemplating Cyn’s words.
”Yeah, b–"
“Stern voice. I am stopping you there. You are tired, and as a result of such lack of sleep, I am also tired. It is 3 in the morning, Uzi,” they say as said drone glares at the tail. “You have school tomorrow, therefore you are bound to see N. If you’re really that worried, talk to him. He’s the definition of a golden retriever boyfriend.”
Uzi sighs in defeat. “What are you, my mom?” The goth tries to joke to lighten the mood after that rollercoaster of emotions she just had.
“Nerdy voice. Uhm, technically, I was your mom if you thin–”
“Bite me!”
She lays back down on her bed, fishing her phone out of her hoodie’s pocket. Unlocking the phone, the drone opens the messaging app, pressing N’s icon.

“–butlikeIdon’treallyknowwhatelsetodo!” N says as he shakes Thad’s shoulders rapidly.
Thad has a worried look on his face, but still smiles at N as he obliviously nods in agreement at what his friend said. “Yeah, yeah.. Uh, hey man, do you mind repeating, like, everything you just said? You said that too fast for me to hear.”
The murder drone sighs, sitting back down on the bean bag, regaining his composure. “I think my crush on V is back, but I feel terrible about it since I’m already dating Uzi and I don’t want her to find out about it since I know she’ll hate me and break up with me and, and, an-”
Before he knows it, he’s hyperventilating, tears beginning to form in his optics, threatening to fall down. Thad is quick to catch on, as he tries to divert the topic to settle the taller boy down, interrupting his anxious rant. “Woah, uh, hey man, weren’t you going to tell me all about, uh, Australian Shepherds?”
N’s sniffles cease as the topic of dogs are brought to the table, his demeanor changing quickly. “Hang on, let me think of some good facts about them,” he mutters.
“Oh! Did you know, Australian Shepherds actually didn’t originate in Australia? In fact, they are believed to come from somewhere in California!” He smiles at Thad, his tail wagging. N loved talking about dogs, he could talk about them all day!
“That’s super dope man! Anyways, minus the small spiral you had, d–”
“In fact, did you know coyotes also originate from California, of which they resemble German Shepherds?” N afterwards realizes he interrupted Thad in his talking, giving him an apologetic smile. “Oh, biscuits. Sorry, continue.”
Thad clears his voicebox, continuing to talk. “As I was going to say, do you wanna keep talking about the thing, ‘cause that seems like a kind of sensitive topic, and I’m not too good with relationship advice.”
N fidgets with his hands as he spoke, “Uh, I was kind of planning to run the situation by you to get an opinion on what I should do, but based on what you said just now, I guess we can talk about something else.”
Thad opens his mouth, before closing it and reopening it again. “Hey, you’re chill with Liz, right? She gives really good relationship advice. I can go run and grab her, she’s probably doom scrolling in her room right now.”
N perks up at the worker drone’s idea, smiling at him. “Yeah, that sounds like a plan! Plus, I love doing anything.”
Thad hops out of his chair, walking out of his room to find his sister. N sat and twiddled his thumbs as he awaited his friend’s return. He jumps as he hears a thud coming from the other room. Shortly after, Thad’s twin sister bursts into the room, shouting in a dramatic tone, “THE QUEEN OF RELATIONSHIP ADVICE IS HERE!”
Lizzy looks around the room to find N, waving at her sheepishly. “Oooo, the frea– I mean, Uzi’s boyfriend!” She takes a seat onto Thad’s chair, clasping her hands together. “Tell me everything, and don’t you dare spare a detail.”
N sighs and leans back in the bean bag, recounting his situation. “Well, recently I think I have a crush on V, but at the same time I still love Uzi and I feel terrible since isn’t that, like, cheating?”
Lizzy raises an eyebrow at N’s confession, taking out her phone and typing something onto it. “Interesting, interesting..” Lizzy mutters under her breath.
“Have you thought about talking to your little goth girlfriend about it?” She asks, still typing furiously on her phone.
“Yeah, but I’m afraid if I tell her, she’ll hate me and break up with me,” he admits.
Lizzy looks up from her phone to stare N dead in the eye. “Bitch, you two literally saved the world. You obviously helped her deal with whatever bullshit she had going on, and she helped you deal with yours. She probably isn’t gonna hate you. Plus, it’s good to be honest with your partner.”
N takes Lizzy’s words in. “Yeah, you’re right. I’ll talk to her after school on Monday.” He stands up, getting ready to leave. “I should probably get going anyways, gotta get a good night's sleep for tomorrow!”
Thad joins in the conversation as Lizzy leaves the room, still typing. “Hey, uh, sorry to burst your bubble man, but it’s already Monday.”
“Whaaa..” N checks the time on his UI. It reads 3:15AM. “Aw, biscuits!” He frowns, unhappy that he will be extremely tired at school. “I’m still gonna head out, I gotta get as much sleep as possible.”
As N steps out of Thad’s room, his friend stops him. “Hey, wait, it’s like a 20 minute walk to your place. Do you wanna crash here?”
“Oh, sure thing! Thanks.” He smiles at Thad, greatful for his friend's generosity.
N and Thad comfortably chat as they wait for them to inevitably fall asleep. N suddenly feels a buzz from his phone. He takes it out, checking the notification. He wags as he sees it’s from Uzi! His happiness turns to anxiett as he reads the message, his face turning to one of worry.
He takes a deep breath, deciding to face his problems head on, rather than running away from it.

N let out a sigh of relief.
He could only hope this would go well.
