It's a warm, calm morning. Your eyes flutter open to the sunlight-filled room.
Resting beside you is your loving boyfriend, Ivo, still snoozing away. You smile and lean into his chest, your hand laying near his heart. Then, you gently pull the duvet up to cover you more. Your pajamas - one of Ivo's old shirts and a pair of panties - were comfortable but left you a bit chilly.
He softly grumbled, snuggling into you more. It usually wasn't this peaceful in the mornings due to Ivo working, but today was a lazy Sunday.
As you lay in his embrace you begin to awake more until finally, you feel the need to get up. You pull away from Ivo and stretch.
"Mmm, come back here", Ivo huffs.
"I'm bored, Ivo, I wanna get up", you yawn.
Ivo reaches his hands out to you but you sit up, grabbing your pillow.
"Come onnnn, get upppp", you groan. You lift your pillow up and bring it down onto his chest.
Ivo grunts in response, a scowl forming on his face.
"Don't do that!"
You hit him with your pillow again and he rips it out of your hands.
"Heyy!"
Ivo rolls over onto his stomach while clutching the pillow.
"'Hay' is for horses." You cringe at his lame joke.
"Ivoooo, get upppp, let's do stufff."
"Later, I want more sleep."
"Ughhhh, every other morning you're up and moving, why not this morning?"
"This morning I have nothing to do so I will proceed to do nothing."
You roll your eyes and cross your arms.
"Pleaseeee."
Ivo doesn't respond this time. You huff and crawl on top of him, sitting on his back, your legs resting on either side of his neck.
You very gently bounce on him, trying to annoy him.
"Get uppppp."
"Mmm, you better stop that right now."
"Then get upppp. Come on."
You continue your bouncing and he suddenly rolls over onto his back. He grabs ahold of your legs, keeping you in the same spot you were before with you now sitting on his chest.
You blush at your new position.
"Come on, Ivo."
"Mmm."
He opens his eyes and looks up at you. His hands run up and down your thighs, running up to your hips and back down. He brings his hands to your butt and squeezes whilst pulling your body closer to his face.
Your breath hitches and you bite your lip. He continues to hold your body and hovers your panty-covered pussy over his mouth allowing you to feel his calm breaths. He then gives you a little kiss and moves his hands to your hips.
"Heh heh, I'll make you breakfast, honey. With eggs, and bacon, and fresh fruit", you say.
He breathes deeply, grabbing onto the sides of your panties.
"Not interested."
He then rips your panties off tossing them aside. He brings you down to his mouth. You gasp in surprise before moaning as you feel his tongue lick at you.
His fingers dig into your flesh while yours grip onto the headboard. Soft moans and faint kissing and slurping sounds fill the room.
You find yourself moving your hips to get more of that euphoric feeling. Ivo lifts his hands up to your breasts and cups them. He plays with them as his tongue plays with your clit.
You squeeze your thighs around him just the way he likes and whisper down to him what a good job he's doing. You ask him for more and more.
He responds by wetting two of his fingers in his mouth and then slipping them inside of you. You tell him he's amazing and he tells you, "You're such a good girl, the way you take my fingers and tongue."
As he moves his fingers inside of you, you ache for even more from him. When you tell him that he says, "Awh, you're such a greedy girl, huh? Such a need girl, yes?"
He gives your butt a soft smack before slipping his fingers out of you. He places his fingers in his mouth, sucking them clean.
"My my, how delicious."
He gives you a wink and a smirk knowing how embarrassed you are. He guides you off of him and sits up himself.
You pull your shirt off leaving you completely nude. He doesn't hesitate to cup your face in his hands and kiss you. Your hands grab at his shirt, letting him know you want it gone.
He pulls away, takes off his shirt, and then does the same with his pants and underwear. His cock is hard and a little slick and shiny with his precum.
"God, I need to be buried inside of you again", he whispers.
He lays you down, placing a pillow underneath your back for support. He lines himself up with your entrance teasing you. He slides the tip over your clit, rubbing it back and forth. You whimper and rock your hips towards him.
He pulls away and shakes his head. He gives you a playfully evil smirk and says, "You annoyed me earlier, now I annoy you."
He then rubs the tip along your entrance before gently pushing in. He lets out a pleasure-filled breath as he fills you up.
"You look so pretty with me inside of you."
He thrusts into you, his hands holding on to your legs. He changes his pace every so often, going fast and rough to slow and sensual. He wants this to last as long as it can.
Eventually, you two change your position so you sit on top of him. You bounce up and down, riding him as he holds your hands.
He tells you you look beautiful and your breasts are so sexy. At times, he stares at them as they bounce and licks his lips.
When you two finish, he holds you close to him and kisses you.
"Good morning", you say out of breath. You're now sitting next to him.
"Good morning, darling", he says.

Sup yall, I wrote this while being extremely sleep deprived. Finals are over and I’m back home so hopefully I’ll be able to crank out some cool stuff and maayyybe a new chapter of Sunshine is Overrated...? 0_0
Anyways, the next oneshot I post won’t be Robotnik/Eggman related but if you’re a fan of Mr. Carrey’s other work you might wanna keep an eye out for it ^-^
CW: Fluff, a little suggestive language (use of "daddy")
General:
Having the Eggman logo embroidered on most of your clothing
Having his contact name in your phone being either "Eggy man" or "Robot boyfriend 3000"
Being the only living human allowed to call him "Mr. " because it reminds him you'll be his future Mr./Mrs.
Receiving your own weapons so you can defend yourself "just in case"
Despite having your own bedroom, you sleep in his bed with him every night (that is every night he comes to bed instead of working)
Due to his habit of working through the night, he has a surveillance camera set up to monitor you while you sleep. He allows you to bring any plushies you would like to cuddle, but they MUST be put away during the day in case Sonic and his "rat friends break in and see them"
Riding in the egg pod with him and feeding him french fries as he navigates back home after a fast-food run
Combing his mustache in the morning
Taking naps while sitting on his lap, your head snuggled into his chest as he works at his control panel/desk
Noticing people "disappear mysteriously" after disrespecting you or your relationship behind your back
Being one of the only things that make him crack a non-sadistic smile
Eggman (specifically Boom ver.)
Matching footie pjs
Praising and kissing his arms, clutching on to them when you cuddle
Being allowed to sit on his shoulders
Running around with Cubot and Orbot
Being able to hear his goat scream from across the lair
Laying your head on his chest
Confusing him with your slang and memes - "You're a material what?", "Who put who in the freezer?", "Is it not common knowledge to not pee on the floor?!?!?"
Mombot knitting you and him matching sweaters
Playing Fuzzy Puppies with him
Annoying him alongside Cubot - "If you two don't stop this at once I'll ship you off to China!"
He tries to hide you away from Sonic and his friends
That ultimately fails, however, since you beg Eggman to let you go with him to the village and get out of the lair
Spooky Halloween dates consist of going to haunted houses and end with you comforting him throughout the night
You aren't allowed to participate in battles so you just stay at the lair and watch
You have, on multiple occasions, fooled around with his control system when he's out and you have locked him out several times - "I told you that my work isn't a toy!" *sad puppy dog eyes* "*groan* Ugh, it's alright, Y/N, here's what you have to do..."
You like to garden with him and he lets you pick out any plants/flowers you want to grow yourself
You have to stand on your tippy-toes to hug or kiss him
You like to run up behind him and hug him from behind, surprising him - "*goat scream*"
He enjoys holding you and will sometimes find you in the lair and pick you up, cradling you in his arms
You're so precious to him and he worries you might leave him
"Daddy" *Eggman blushes furiously and his eyes widen*
Robotnik (pre-2nd movie):
He makes you playlists for very specific situations - "Shower Songs", "Delicious Victory", "Date Night in the Forest"
Having Agent Stone run errands for you
Mini fashion shows to show off your outfits for him
He has big sugar daddy energy
He can and will buy you anything you want
You've walked in on him dancing by himself many times
Dates involve his agents following a hundred feet behind to make sure you're safe
He can be a bit distant both emotionally and physically, but don't tag it personally, he just doesn't understand human connection
That being said, when he tells you he loves you he means it every time and has rehearsed saying it so he doesn't mess up
Attending fancy government events and making it impossible for Robotnik to take his eyes off of you
"Hey, who's that cute little thing over there?" "That's Dr. Robotnik's partner" "*gulp*"
Robotnik is willing to help you with your career if you so choose to have one
If you need help with tuition he won't bat an eye
If you say you want to do it yourself and be independent, he'll respect your decision and encourage you
"Daddy" *Robotnik keeps a straight face, grabbing you by the throat and pulling you closer to him*
(sorry if there aren't a lot of Robotnik ones, go read my other headcanon post that's solely Robotnik!)
Sunshine Is Overrated (Dr. Robotnik x Reader) Chapter list
Here are all of the current chapters for my story Sunshine is Overrated
Description: You’re an intern working for Dr. Robotnik over the summer. This is set after the events of the movie, but Robotnik wasn’t sent to the mushroom planet.
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9
A week has passed after that kiss between you and Robotnik, and horrifyingly awkward moment between the two of you and Stone.
Dr. Robotnik was invited to meet with some government officials about the possibility of them allowing him to travel again. This meant, he was going to be gone for a few days with Agent Stone, and you were allowed to stay at home and have the days off.
You really needed those days to just be alone and put what had happened out of your brain. It was really hard to not run to Robotnik's office every day. Since it was awkward between Stone and yourself, you spent lunch times with Robotnik, watching him work and have small conversations, ones that he usually carried.
He didn't mind though, he secretly loves your company. You bring in a light that he isn't too familiar with since he remains a hermit in the basement 24/7.
You two haven't shared a kiss since the first time, and it was itching at you. You really wanted to kiss him, but the overwhelming feeling of coming on strong and irritating him held you back. What if it was nothing to him? Sure he says he likes me, but is it true?
But those thoughts go out the window when you think about when he holds your hand to get your attention. Or when he stops you from leaving the room by holding on to your waist and pulling you close to him. Or when he has you sit in his chair and look at what he's working at, softly petting your hair as his chin rests on your head.
For a man who seems to hate humans he sure loves you.
You're currently in bed, debating on whether you really want to get up or not. Today is your first day back at work and you're both a mix of apprehensiveness and fearfulness. Apprehensive, because you really want to ask the doctor the dumb "so what are we?" question, and fearful, because you want to finally confront Stone.
Sure, spending your time with Robotnik is wonderful, but you miss your friendship. There are some things you can't talk about with Robotnik, such as what games your playing on the computer, how many spam calls you get and how you engage in conversation because you're bored, or how Robotnik is a bit of hard ass. The guy is great, but he's still your boss.
You growl lowly as you roll out of bed to your feet. Today, you choose confidence.
:::::::::::::::::::Note::::::::::::::::::
Hey! It has been a verryyyy long time since I've updated. Mainly, I just lost interest in the story. I couldn't think of a way to continue. Finally, I'm out of the slump ^_^ I hope to keep writing but I can't promise anything.
Dating Robotnik Would Be Like... (Dr. Robotnik x Reader) NSFW WARNING!!
CW: (18+!!) afab/fem!reader
- He would've asked you out by sending you a lovely message to your phone and then nervously awaiting your answer. When you said yes, he let out a loud "WHOO HOO!", that scared the daylights out of Agent Stone.
- He would give you gifts anytime of the year, from simple things like flowers, candy, and plushies, to more pricey things like high end clothes, jewelry with real gems, and trips to countries around the world.
- He would install a security system in your home to make sure you're safe at all times, even when he's not there.
- Instead of giving a you the cliche "drawer" for you to put your personal things at his place, he would give you an entire closet in his bedroom, dresser, and medicine cabinet in his bathroom. It would be his way to ease you into living with him.
- Once you do finally move in with him, he accepts your aesthetic, even if it clashes with his. He would make sure there's plenty of your favorite snacks stocked up, and gladly cooks for you on occasion.
- If you're a pastel uwu person, he would fuss that you're pastel plushies, blankets, and pillows impose on his masculine black and red color scheme. Secretly, he loves the pastels because it reminds him of you. You sometimes catch him napping while clutching one of your plushies.
- Your morning routines would overlap often. It would begin with both of you doing your dental care together, before the chaos starts. You would do your skin care routine as he shaves his face. Then while you do your makeup, he styles his hair and mustache. Once you begin doing your hair, he's already getting dressed. Typically, it would end with him sitting with you in the bathroom until you're done. Sometimes, he'd already be gone when you're getting dressed since he has to go to work, but he always makes sure to wish you a goodbye and shower you in compliments.
- He's very protective of you. When you're around his colleagues or subordinates, he'll subtly make sure everyone in the room feels his possessive energy. He likes PDA whether it's holding on to your hips/waist, holding your hand, wrapping his arm around your shoulders, or giving you kisses. You mean the world to him and he wants to make sure everyone knows you're his.
- Date nights can range from him letting you pick a movie and place to get food, to flying you half way across the world to watch the sunset and eat at fancy restaurants.
- You listen to his rants, encouraging him to keep fighting against Sonic. You're like his own personal little cheerleader, just stroking his ego and watching from the sidelines.
- Agent Stone is kind of like your own assistant. If you ever need anything, he will report to you. You guys have become good friends.
- Robotnik will support you through all you do, whether you're a student, have a career, it doesn't matter. He'll always assist you, and tries not to overstep any boundaries.
STRAIGHT UP NSFW STUFF
- Boobs. He loves your boobs. He'll always find time to squeeze them. He also finds time to put his face in between them, especially if he's had a long day.
- He LOVES being dominant, and there is nothing you can do to make him bottom, sorrys.
- However, that doesn't mean you don't love to tease the hell out of him. You like to send him ~private~ photos while he works. Sometimes, when you go visit him at work, you like to flash him when no one is around, or touch him suggestively.
- He's a giver. Sometimes, he'll be more demanding, but honestly, just making you feel pleasure is enough for him. He feels powerful when he's able to make you cry out his name.
- Ofc, he loves degrading you. Just making you shy and embarrassed is enough to get him going. He loves calling you his little slut and even made you a collar with the words, "Robotnik's Pet" on the tag.
- He's ready to do it anytime you are. He's not afraid of just throwing you on a table and doing you. Once, he even fucked you while you were on a top secret file from the government.
- When he's really stressed, you sneak under his desk and blow him. Once, you were able to fuck him under his desk while he was in an online meeting.
- Now, just because he's dominant doesn't mean he isn't totally in love with worshipping you. He loves kissing all over your body. Just stripping you of your clothes and kissing every inch of your body. He'll sometimes whisper beautiful things to you as he does so.
- He's up for any type of sex - rough, kinky, quickie, slow and passionate love making - he'll do it all for you. He just loves feeling a connection with you and will always make sure you know that he loves you.
Sleepytime Tea for the Doctor (Dr. Robotnik x Agent Reader Oneshot)
It was currently 3 A.M. and Dr. Robotnik is still hard at work. This is the third night in a row Robotnik has worked into the morning hours. You were used to this sort of thing, however, that doesn't mean you like it. Every time the doctor chose to stay and work late, he'd be extremely grouchy later on, which says a lot considering he's already a giant grumpy pants.
Tonight is the night you decide to take matters into your own hands. All of this work and zero sleep isn't healthy, and you knew he needed to rest.
"L/N! Make me a coffee, and be quick!", Dr. Robotnik shouts from his lab. You sigh and leave.
Once you enter the kitchen, you begin to make the coffee. As you open a cupboard, you find a can of decaffeinated coffee grounds and smile.
Aha! Just what you need!
You pull the canister down only to see a box hidden behind it. You lean forward and grab it, pulling it out into the light to inspect it.
On the box is a little bear with a night cap and gown, vibing in a chair next to a fireplace. The words "Sleepytime" in the corner catch your eyes immediately.
Perfect!
You begin to heat up the water before you search for a good sized mug. You find a black one and place one of the tea bags in.
Once the water is ready, you pour it in. You add in a spoonful of honey and a dash of sugar, just because you know the doctor is very picky about his drinks and has the biggest sweet tooth.
You carry the mug to the lab, anxious about what the doctor will say.
What if he gets angry? What if he yells? Or worse, what if I get fired?
You take a deep breath and approach the doctor.
"Here you go sir", you say setting down the mug. He grunts, not looking at it. He reaches over and picks up the mug.
"Mug? What's this?"
"Just thought I would change it up", you says tensely. He grunts again and begins to pull the mug to his lips.
"Now, I'm gonna warn you, that isn't your regular beverage, sir..." As you say this, he takes a big sip. He jerks his head back in surprise before spitting out the tea.
"L/N? WHAT IS THIS? IS THIS YOUR WAY OF GETTING OFF AT MY EXPENSE?" He angrily turns to glare at you. You take a couple steps back, looking into his eyes frightened.
"Sir, it's just that you've been awake for nearly 72 hours. this isn't healthy-"
"What do you know about being healthy? Are you a doctor?"
"No-"
"Exactly! I have work to do, and don't have time for your shenanigans!" He looks back at the mug. "So, what is this you tried to poison me with?"
"It's tea, sir. It's meant to induce sleepiness." He turns back to look at you.
"How dare you get me to drink tea!", he angrily shoves the mug back in your hand. "Now go back and make me a coffee, or I will send your ass straight to the unemployment office!"
You begin to walk away but stop, feeling something take over you.
"No!" You turn around and walk back over to him. "I don't care if you fire me, I will not let you work yourself to death on my watch!"
"No?!" He stands up. "Did you just say, no?"
"You have ears, use them!" He smirks at you, a wicked glint in his eyes. He begins to chuckle darkly, bringing his hands up in a cliche villain way.
"Oh, you have no idea what you just brought on missy."
You begin to cower, regretting standing up to him.
"Fine, fire me. I don't care." You lip quivers a bit as you slam the mug on his desk and quickly leave.
You're halfway out the door when he pulls you back. You turn around to look at him confused.
"Geez, if you're going to cry over tea, the least you can do is add more sugar!"
You blink, still confused.
"What? I don't understand-"
"I'll drink the damn tea! Honestly, I've never had anyone care this much about me, let alone an employee."
You both walk back into the lab. He sits down and hands you the mug.
"Now, more sugar and honey-"
"Will do, sir! Sugar and honey." You begin to leave with the mug happily.
He leans back in his chair, eyes closed.
"No, no. Just more sugar. I'm calling you honey", he says in a deep tone. You stop in your tracks, a deep blush appearing your face. "Now, honey, bring the tea to my break room, I'm going right to sleep after I drink it. Oh, and also, keep that cute little blush on your face, I love it when I make you shy."
"Please don't fire me! I'm so sorry! That was an extremely unprofessional and childish conversation that was completely inappropriate to have! Please don't hold anything against Stone! We were just kidding, I'm sorry!", you blurt out quickly.
Dr. Robotnik laughs, standing from his chair. He crosses his arms and looks down at you.
"Silly rookie. I don't care about that." He walks closer to you and leans down, closer to your face. "I want to know your answer."
You gulp. You can't help but notice how close he is to you. Your heart beats quickly and your palms begin to sweat. His eyes are calmly looking into yours, his demeanor calm. He's probably interrogated dozens of people similarly...well, maybe not too similarly.
You take in a breath and step forward, closer to him. You close the gap between you, gently but desperately kissing him. He steps back in surprise but quickly kisses back and sets his hands on your shoulders.
You both pull away, panting. You look down away from him, terrified. He bites his lip and stares at you.
"I like your answer, L/N. However, I'd like to double check - for confirmation purposes!" He steps forward and puts a hand on your cheek, softly grazing the skin with his gloved thumb. You look up to him and mirror his action. He leans down and kisses you.
You wrap your arms around his neck as he puts both of his hands on your cheeks, kissing you harder. He moves his hands away and down to your waist, holding you close to him.
You don't want to stop kissing him. You can tell he doesn't either. You both do eventually stop due to the sound of a coffee cup dropping.
The Dr. looks into the direction of the sound. You look too, stuck in a daze. It's Stone who has walked in on quite a scene.
None of you say anything, and neither you nor Robotnik move from your position. Well, actually, you did try to move but Robotnik kept a firm grip on you.
"You know, it's polite to knock, before barging into a room", Dr. Robotnik says, somewhat ironic since he always barges in wherever he wants to.
"Yes sir, sorry sir", Stone stutters out. He begins to back away and leave but Robotnik stops him.
"Don't say anything, or this little lady right here will be taking your job and you can be the one answering phones." Stone nods quickly and tries to leave again but Dr. Robotnik clears his throat. Stone turns around, trying to avoid eye contact with either of you. "Stone. Clean that mess up and make me a new latte."
Stone nods again and darts out of the room.
Once he's gone, Robotnik turns back to you. You're in shock of what all just took place. He sets a finger under your chin to get your attention.
"L/N?"
"What are we doing?"
"Well...I'm waiting for another kiss from the...beautiful intern in front of me. What are you doing?"
"I'm feeling very confused."
"Why is that?"
"Because", you pull away from his grip and begin to pace. "I didn't think you were actually gonna let me kiss you. I didn't know that you were gonna like me...do you like me?"
Robotnik scoffs and rolls his eyes. He gives you that irritated look you've gotten used to.
"Why do humans make everything much more complicated than it needs to be?" He sits back down in his chair in a huff. "I'll put it like this, you make me feel things I haven't before, I have felt them since I first saw you, blah blah blah. Kissing you has been on my mind for a while", he says in a sarcastic and seemingly bored tone.
"Isn't this wrong?"
"What, kissing? What are you, the Pope?"
"No, me and you kissing...intern and boss..."
"Look, I make the rules. None of these bozos are gonna care and if they do, they can go deal with the unemployment office. Also, if the government finds out, which they won't, I doubt they'll truly care. It isn't like you slept with me to get the job. You aren't gaining any type of leverage by doing this with me."
You don't say anything in response. You just look at him and think about what to do. On one hand, it's a bit wrong to like the most infamous evil scientist and be physical with him in such a way, let alone start a relationship. On the other hand, it's Robotnik, the man who doesn't show other people this type of interest, let alone other women. And come on, a little scandal never hurt. It might even be fun to have a workplace romance. Especially with the Robotnik.
"You don't have to do anything you don't want to", he says as he turns back to his work. "I'm not asking for you to choose now, nor am I asking for anything entirely serious, such as marriage. I simply think seeing you more often and kissing you, maybe holding you close to me, would be nice. However, you can go. You can stop bringing me lunch, answering the phones, you can stop showing up here. Or even, you can still be here, just avoid me. It's all up to you."
You smile and walk behind him, wrapping your arms around his shoulders from behind. He jumps at the action but then eases back. He sets a hand on your wrist and with his other hand, brings one of your hands up to his lips. He kisses it, the feeling of his mustache tickling you.
"Thank you." You kiss the top of his head and hold him closer.
omggg, so i recently rewatched the sonic movie and the part where stone pins himself to wall and robotnik is venting to him, the way he says “tHeY’Re eVerYtHinG tO mE” in reference to his bots makes me think that stone has probably said that to the dr during an argument or something (like: stone is upset that the dr isn’t paying much attention to him and is getting frustrated and tells robotnik that he cares more about the bots than him, something like that) and robotnik has been waiting for a chance to throw that back at stone....idk tho, it just stood out to me
You sit at your desk, boredly staring at your phone. You had a peaceful weekend, despite the embarrassment you felt by giving Dr. Robotnik the wrong lunch.
He probably thinks I'm so childish and lame.
As you sit with a blush on your cheeks, the front entrance opening breaks the quiet atmosphere.
You look up to see your favorite agent walking in. You give him a big smile and set your phone down. He returns the smile, immediately leaning up against your desk.
"Hey! How are you?", you say excitedly.
"I'm pretty good, I'm actually pretty surprised you're still here. I mean, you're pretty strong considering the week you had to spend alone with the Dr."
"Oh gosh, yeah. It was nice to do nothing over the weekend." You both catch up before he asks specifically how the prior week went.
"It went pretty okay, I think. I mean..I'm still here!", you giggle before biting your lip. Stone looks at you intrigued. "I think the Dr. really likes me."
"Well, that's good...right?"
"Yeah, I just didn't expect him to."
"Eh, who knows."
"It's just...after the power outage he's kinda been more...interested in me?"
"There was a power outage?"
"Yeah, on the first day. We ended up sharing lunch and he let me watch him work and stuff. Actually, I've been bringing him lunch everyday since."
"Woah..." Stone trails off.
"What?"
"Well...I shouldn't say this, but Dr. Robotnik..."afraid" isn't the right word but...he just really dislikes the dark."
"Huh?", you ask extremely confused. The man that can make a grown army man shiver...is afraid of the dark?
"Not afraid! He's just more vulnerable...I don't know. I think it has to do with his bots not working properly so he feels less safe or something. I'm not sure."
"Well, I guess that makes sense...he seemed to enjoy me staying with him."
"What do you mean?"
"Well it was just the two of us-"
"Alone?"
"Yeah. Nothing happened though!"
"Oh?"
"Yeah, I swear! I don't even like him like that! But we just talked and...okay...well..." Stone's eyes are glue to you, completely invested. "We were talking and...I guess there was a little face moving...and we were pretty close to each other...but then the lights came back!"
Stone's eyes widen, a hand going over his mouth. You nervously smile at his expression as you begin to toy with your hair.
"Are you joking?!"
"No..."
"Y/N! You almost ki-"
"Not so loud!"
Stone leans over the desk closer to you.
"You almost kissed Robotnik!", he hisses. You squeal in response, scrunching your eyes closed.
"I know! I know!"
"Did you want to?!" You don't respond, instead look down, away from his eyes. He gasps. "I thought you "didn't like him like that", huh?"
"Ugh...okay, but he's so handsome!", you say as quiet as you can.
"Oooh, handsome!", Stone teases. "If the lights didn't come on, do you think you would've kissed him?"
You lean back and think. You hadn't actually thought about it seriously. In the moment, you were humiliated and scared. In hindsight...you feel disappointed.
"Honestly, I don't think he was trying to kiss me. I mean, I was boosting his ego at the time, and he probably was just interested in what I was saying. Maybe he wanted to hear me better."
"That's not an answer to my question."
"...I don't know if I would've, I mean, Robotnik has all the power, and he had it in the moment. I'm not the type to just go kissing my bosses."
"Sure, okay."
"I swear! It just...happened. Ugh, or it didn't! Maybe I just thought it would!"
"Y/N, if the Dr. were to walk in right now and ask you to kiss him, would you?" You bashfully cover your face with your hands. Stone chuckles at your reaction. As the two of you are distracted, a confused Robotnik walks in.
"Ahem." You both look up and see Robotnik giving you both an unenthused look.
"Hello Dr.!", Stone says.
"Good morning, sir."
"Welcome back, Stone. Now, if you two are done with this foolishness, I would like Agent Stone to make me a latte and you", Dr. Robotnik looks right into your eyes. "I'd like you to come down to my lab immediately. "
You nod and follow behind the Dr. You turn to look at Stone who is holding in a laugh. You mouth to him, "holy shit" and silently giggle.
Once you and the Dr. reach his lab, he stops you before entering.
"Miss L/N, I'd like to show you one of my favorite bots." He opens the door and holds it open for you.
You walk in and wait for him. He waves to you and leads you over to his desk where sits in his chair and turns on his blue holographic screen. He clicks around for a bit before pulling up what looks to be a video.
"You see this?" You nod. "This right here is the feed to my security camera which is connected to the security system. It records all hours of the day, everyday of the year. Helpful, isn't it?"
"Yes sir-"
"Shush", he puts his finger up. "Now, if we rewind a bit..." He clicks on the video and begins to rewind it. He hits play. You realize it's the conversation you just had with Stone. "We can hear some interesting things."
"If the lights didn't come on, do you think you would've kissed him?"
Dr. Robotnik fast forwards a bit.
"Y/N, if the Dr. were to walk in right now and ask you to kiss him, would you?"
Dr. Robotnik pauses the video and turns around to look at you. You're completely humiliated and scared. You don't want to look at him so you just stare at the screen.
Today is the final day you will be assisting Dr. Robotnik. Agent Stone is coming back the next week and you're excited to see your friend, however, you feel a sense of sadness that you won't be around the Dr. as much.
After you two shared lunch together and the lights came on, you two carried on business as usual. You continued to bring pb & j sandwhiches for the both of you, making sure to bring an extra bag of chips and a bottle of water for the Dr. as you knew all of that coffee was not hydrating him enough. He'd been more distant, however.
He'd make you leave his lunch outside the door, and occasionally pull you down to the lab so you could either give him praise or a coffee. You were slightly hurt by that since you really liked being around Robotnik.
Sure you enjoyed Stone's presence, but something about Robotnik excited you. You couldn't deny that he was devishly handsome, and his intelligence made you ooze. His hair constantly being brushed out of his face, sweat dripping down his forehead as he concentrates on his work. The twitch of his mustache when he's in deep thought, and the way he toys with it. His brown eyes that are so dark and mysterious, oh the wonders he's seen and created with his own two hands. His hands are so stong, always kept clean by his use of gloves, the things those hands could do...and his height, the way he towers over you makes you feel vulnerable but you like it...oh no. Did you have a crush on the Dr.?
You set your head on the desk as your face heats up. The second you saw him, you felt different about him. Even though he belittled you, you couldn't help but love the way he'd retreat sometimes and be genuine with you. You love his sardonic way of speaking and the new ways he could think of degrading you...WOAH, THERE BRAIN, STOP.
You slap your hand on your forehead stressed and whimper. You need to get these thoughts out of your head so you can focus and get through your internship. You have a month and a half left and you don't want to do anything that will jeopardize your job.
You lean back in your chair and turn to the desk computer. You decide to play some games to ease your nerves.
As you begin to get deep into a game of solitaire, your earpiece beeps. Stone! Yes, what a good distraction!
"Hello?"
"Hey, Y/N! How is everything?"
"Not too bad, things are pretty boring without you here, honestly."
"How is the boss treating you?"
"I'm like, the equivalent of a toaster to him - reliable, but not important."
"I understand. Hey, you're doing your best, I know that. Don't worry though, I'll be back next week so I want you to get me caught up!"
"Will do!"
"Okay, I have to go, but have a nice weekend. Relax!"
"I definitely need a break from dealing with him."
"Ha ha, yeah, like I told you, it's like babysitting."
"Okay, can't wait to see you!"
"You too! Bye!"
"Bye!" You sit back in your chair, excited for your friend's arrival.
Dr. Robotnik's POV:
He walks up the stairs, a bit bored and wanting his lunch. He's a bit sad you seemingly forgot to bring it to him.
He can't help but cringe at how soft he's been around you. He sure does enjoy your company, but the way you make him feel inside confuses him. He feels warm and he's checked his temperature and has no fever. He gets sweaty and excited when he gets ready in the morning. He doesn't like thinking about what it could be, his scientific brain refuses to calculate the amount of feelings he has towards you.
He walks down the hall and hears you on the phone. He mentally sighs, creeping around the corner to wait for you to finish, and maybe also eavesdrop.
"I'm like, the equivalent of a toaster to him - reliable, but not important."
Who could she be talking about?
"I definitely need a break from dealing with him. "
Dealing with who?
"Okay, can't wait to see you!"
The Dr. straightens his posture, prepared to turn the corner. He waits to hear you end the call. As he waits, he thinks about what you said.
Definitely need a break from him...him...me? Am I stressing her? Does she not like me?
He gets a frown on his face, and turns the corner. Your back is turned, hunched over again focused on your game again.
He clears his throat and you turn around quickly.
Regular POV:
"Hello, Dr.! How are you doing today? You haven't asked for a coffee yet so I was wondering if you were even here."
"Yes, I'm doing fine. Now, I would like my lunch." He has a stern tone in his voice that isn't very out in the ordinary.
You nod and bend over and pull his out of your bag and hand it to him. He snatches it from your hand and turns quickly around, leaving without thanking you.
You sigh and decide to go on your own lunch break too.
Dr. Robotnik's POV:
He sulks over his desk, sighing before opening the brown paper bag. He pulls out a bag of chips, a water bottle, and a plastic container with a sandwhich inside.
He rolls his eyes at the water. He never understood why you would care if he was hydrated, Stone never did and he functioned...okay.
He cracks open the bottle and takes a swig, sighing in relief after. He opens the container for his sandwhich, only to find instead of a whole sandwhich, four pieces of a sandwhich cut into the shape of dinosaurs. He raises his eyebrow confused.
Is this a message? Is she patronizing me?
He picks up a dino sandwhich questionably and sniffs it. His usual, just childish. He takes a bite and smiles happily.
Your lunches for him were the highlight of his day but of course he wouldn't tell you that. He loves that in such a short amount of time, you've shown more kindness to him than anyone he'd met before...aside from Stone, but Stone was more so intimidated if anything.
He doesn't want you to be intimidated by him. He wants you to be entranced by him, genuinely interested in him. He wants you to pry into him, to listen to him, to see him how no one else has before.
He wants you to feel this way because that's how he feels towards you. He wants to know everything about you. He wants to see you in a non professional setting - not in a sensual way - but in a personal way. He wants to...to...
Eugh! Humans!
He puts his forehead in his hand and groans. You make his head hurt.
You spent the rest of your first day in Robotnik's lab. He had you watch as he worked on making replicas of his square bot, bring him more and more lattes, and have you listen to his occasional rant about how the hedgehog is his enemy.
Today is your second day and you enjoy spending a lot of time with the Dr. He was so interesting and you loved that you got to peak into his mind and capabilities. You loved watching him work, even though it was kind of like watching paint dry, it was also fascinating. He had such smoothness and care for his bots. He even explained to you that he cares for each as though they were his own children - I mean, to him they were his children.
"Who needs some gross drooling imbecile when I can have this sophisticated creation. Made by my own hands", he said in awe. You peaked over his shoulder as he put the finishing touches on his now tenth square bot.
"Very impressive, sir." He picks up the bot and gets up. He takes it to a shelf and sets it next to the other bots there.
"Ah, beautiful. Now, Miss L/N, go fetch me a latte." You nod and quickly leave.
When you do get back with his drink, he's got headphones on and is typing away at his blue holographic monitors. You carefully set the cup next to him in his eye range. He glances at it before taking it in his hand and chugging it, despite it's scalding temperature. He throws the cup over his shoulder and it lands on the floor, which you bend to pick up.
"L/N, I'll be busy for today, so go ahead and go back to your desk. I'll get you if I need anything."
"Oh...okay sir." You glumly leave his lab and head up the stairs.
However, almost as soon as you sit down at the front desk the power goes out. You groan as you sit in the now darker lobby. At least you had the sunlight coming in from the front glass door, however you could see the hallway was in pure darkness.
You just sit at your desk, unsure of what to do. That is, until Robotnik rushes to you.
"Miss L/N! I need your assistance!"
"Yes, Dr.?"
"I tried the breaker and these lights are still not on!"
"Oh, uh, I can call the electric company to see what's wrong." You use your personal cell phone and dial the number for the electric company.
Dr. Robotnik taps his foot impatiently, arms crossed. You listen and nod to the person on the phone with you before hanging up.
"Well?", Dr. Robotnik says shortly.
"It's effecting Green Hills too-"
"Who cares?! What about me?!"
"They said the power should be up by...tomorrow."
"TOMORROW?! THIS WON'T WORK!"
"Sir, there isn't much I can do, I'm sorry", you say in a soft voice. The Dr. groans and leans against the desk, his head in his hands.
A few of the other workers come out to the front where Dr. Robotnik tells them to just go home.
Once everyone else is gone, it's just the two of you still in the same spot in the dark.
"Well", Dr. Robotnik says finally breakingthe silence. "No use staying, you can go."
"Are you sure? I can help if you need anything."
"No, Agent Stone replacement, I do not need anything." He leaves after that and you know he's gone to be a hermit in his lab.
You sit in the dark for a bit before getting up and going down to his lab, using your phone's flashlight to help you.
You knock on the door and he yanks the door open. You accidentally shine the bright light right in his face.
"Oopsies-"
"Yeah, oopsies", his voice is irritated. "Now what? I told you to go."
"I don't want to leave you here in the dark alone."
"I'm fine go."
"Awh, come on Dr.", you say in your casual, normal voice, rather than the polite, work tone you'd been using prior. "I can't leave in good conscience and plus, won't you be bored?"
"No, I have things I can do."
"...In the dark?"
"Yes! You aren't the only one with a flashlight!"
"But how are you going to use a flashlight in one hand work with the other?"
"Simple humans", he tsks.
"Well, I can be your simple flashlight holder." You give him a smile and he continues to looks at you with his dead inside eyes.
"Whatever, if that's what you wish." He moves to the side and allows you in. You follow him to his desk and he begins to get back to work. He's doing some paperwork so you just stand still and hold the light.
A few times he looks up into the light and mutters in pain. You giggle each time he does so, and you aren't able to see, but he smiles to himself each time you giggle.
You start yawning, getting tired of being what is essentially a human lamp. He looks up again and raises an eyebrow.
"How are you tired? You're just standing there."
"Exactlyyy, I'm borrrred."
"You begged me to stay! You could've left!" You stay quiet and fix your posture. He turns back to hus work but both of your tummies grumble at the same time. You bite your lip in embarrassment.
"Hm, what if we take a break?", you ask, stretching your arms and moving the light away.
"No, I don't have time for breaks. Now move that light back."
"Come on, we're both hungry." He sighs and looks at you.
"Fine, a break but it will be short and begins now."
You smile and motion him to come with you. He gets up and you both go back to the front desk. He slumps down in your chair, unenthusiastically watching you pull out a sandwhich and chips from your bag.
You give him half of the sandwhich and you take the other, climbing on top of the desk and sitting on it, facing him, your legs dangling over the edge. He takes a bite and lets out a small gasp.
"Hmm?", you say after you take a bite of your half.
"Peanut butter and jelly?"
"Yeah", you smile.
"I haven't had one since I was a child...they were the only thing I knew how to make." He looks up at you as you smile at him.
You both continue to eat, passing the time by talking about the power outage.
"I believe that hedgehog did this. This is his work."
"Why do you dislike him so much?" By now you've finished your sandwhich and open your small bag of potato chips.
"He's a menace. Do you know how much I could achieve if he let me harness his power?!"
"Well", you start. "How would you feel if someone wanted to capture you and disect you." He scoffs at you and shakes his head.
"He's selfish."
"Hmm", you say in response, putting a chip in your mouth.
"I just want my bots to reach full potential. Also, I already know people don't like me. They hate my intelligence and strength. They're insecure beings." You hold a chip out for him which he reluctantly takes.
"Well...not everyone dislikes you."
"Oh?"
"Agent Stone likes you!" He weakly smiles before slumping over in the chair more.
"I like you!", you chirp. He tilts his head up to look at you.
"You do? You barely know me."
"Well, I want to know you. You're interesting, and I admire your power. Your intelligence." He scoots closer to you.
"You do?", he says eyes slightly wider.
"Of course, sir." You look down at him and lean closer. You both are looking into each other's eyes when the lights come back on.
"Okay, so I think that's everything", Agent Stone says as he hands you a small notebook filled with the notes he's written for you.
He spent the previous day showing you everything you would need to know in order to be the Dr.'s new assistant. Today is your first day alone and you were nervous about the whole thing. Not only that you would mess something up, but also that you would anger Dr. Robotnik.
"I know you're gonna do great, Y/N", Stone continues."If anything happens, call me immediately."
You thank him and he leaves, waving goodbye. You put the notebook in your back pocket and walk through the hallway. You glance at each door, trying to calm your mind. As you reach the end of the hallway, you see a stairwell. You go down the stairs, your heart beat rapidly getting faster as you descend.
When you get to the bottom you look at the single metal door in front of you. It has a single small glass window where a blue light shines through before going out. You walk to the door and knock, feeling a pool of fear fill your tummy.
Dr. Robotnik groans inside, stomping towards the door. He yanks it open and looks down at you, visibly annoyed.
"What do you want?"
"Good morning, Dr. Robotnik. I'm here to check in and see if you need me for anything", you say in the sweetest voice you can muster despite your nervousness.
"Don't you have phones to answer? I have Stone to help me", he says as he leans against the door.
"Well, Agent Stone isn't here...he said he's going to be gone this week."
"Oh...right, I forgot about that", Dr. Robotnik scoffs. "Well, you can get me a latte. You should know what I want." The Dr. gives you a smirk before slamming the door.
You let out a breath you didn't realize you were holding in and run back up the stairs. You walk into the breakroom and begin to start making the latte. You carefully read Stone's instructions as you make it.
As you pour the liquid into a coffee cup, some of it spills onto your skin and you wince. You finish pouring and put the lid on the cup, heading out of the room.
Once you reach his lab door you knock, biting your lip due to the throbbing pain in your finger. Dr. Robotnik opens the door and stares down at the cup in your hands. He let's out a "hmm" before grabbing the cup, hurting your finger in the process.
You wince slightly as he takes a loud, long sip of the drink. He looks at the latte contemplative before looking at you.
"Not too bad, rookie. Decent job." He begins to leave before he takes notice of you clutching your finger. "What's the matter with you?"
"Nothing, just spilled some coffee on my finger. I'm okay." You give him a strained smile and turn to walk away. He groans and grabs your shoulder.
"Ugh, come inside, I have a first aid kit in here." You nod and follow him inside.
Inside, there were bots lined all along the walls. He had a huge desk cluttered with various items - papers, tools, etc. There were big blue holographic screens where different equations and words were spalshed across, and you didn't even try to understand them. There was also two doors, but you weren't about to find out where they lead to.
The Dr. sets his drink on his desk, walking over to a shelving unit that's stuffed to max capacity with books and papers. He carefully pulls out a first aid kit and walks to you.
He takes your finger in his hand, inspecting it. He mutters something to himself before digging into the kit. He pulls out a small packet of what you assume to be a gel to help your burn. He applies the gel to your finger and wraps a band-aid around it.
"It really isn't that bad, but this is so you won't squeal and say I didn't help you", he says flatly. He puts the kit back where it came from and turns to look at you, seeing that you're gazing at his current project.
It's another robot, ofc, but it's not in the shape of his other bots. This one is a sleek black color and is a square instead of his usual egg shape.
"Miss L/N, what does this look like to you?" You think, not sure if there's supposed to be a right answer.
"A...black square?"
"Ugh, no, that is a wrong answer. Of course, it looks like a black square", he moans. He walks closer and picks up the bot, showing that it looks the same on all sides. "It looks like a black cube. A black cube with tinted glass dark enough so that no one can see the camera hidden inside. A black cube that can detonate given the right command. A black cube that may look like a 'black square', but can disguise itself in any dark corner of any home! A black cube that can have 200 pounds dropped on it and not break! A cube that will help me find that dumb hedgehog's weaknesses and then take his power and become completely invincible!" As he speaks, he gets more loud and intense. By the time he's done, he's panting and looking at the robot in awe.
You awkwardly look at him before giving him a hesitant clap. He snaps his head around to look at you, a quizzical look on his face before smiling widely, and evil glint shining in his eye.
"Mhm, yes! Applaud me! I don't need it but I want it!" You clap louder as he laughs, doing a small victory dance. He then suddenly stops and holds a finger up at you, signalling you to be quiet. You stop and give him your full attention, anticipating what he's going to say next.
"Miss L/N?"
"Yes Dr. Robotnik?" He gives a sly smile after you say his name.
"Go upstairs and make sure all calls are directed to the answering machine and put the "closed" sign on the door. I have things I want you for." You nod and scurry out of his lab.
"Jesus, this man is...intense!", you think to yourself.
It's your fourth week at the internship. Nothing exciting has happened and you've given up on meeting the Dr. Now, you have a new goal - become best friends with Agent Stone.
You and Agent Stone had become quite close already since, aside from the Dr., you're the only person willing to converse with him. And, as oppose to the Dr., you actually listen to Stone and want to make him happy.
He's found himself constantly orbiting around your desk. If he isn't around you, he's with Dr. Robotnik. However, lately, he's been slacking. He's caught himself a few times, quickly going to assist Dr. Robotnik before he gets angry, but today he forgot to bring the Dr. his latte, instead bringing you yours and then staying to talk with you.
As you two laugh at a joke he says, loud footsteps echo in the hallway. Niether of you suspect anything, assuming it's just another worker. The two of you look in each other's eyes but a loud smack to the desk makes you both jump.
You both turn your attention to see a tall, dark figure glaring at both of you. He's dressed in all black, an old timey mustache rests on his upper lip, and his dark brown hair falls in front of his face as he breathes heavily. You realize it's Dr. Robotnik.
"What is the meaning of this?! I asked for that latte half an hour ago!" He takes the cup out of Stone's hands and takes a sip before spitting it out. "This is cold! Make me a new one and actually give it to me this time!"
The Dr. turns his attention to you. You lean back, away from him.
"Who are you?", he demands.
"That's Miss Y/N L/N. She's the summer intern...she's been here for four weeks", Stone chimes in. The Dr. pulls away, giving a "hmph" in response.
"Why was I not informed of this?"
"I did tell you, sir", Stone pulls on his shirt collar nervously. "You didn't respond to me. I told you everyday for the first week, actually-"
"Ah, see, of course I never noticed! I tune out your repetitive babble when it's not important! Who's the smart one, Stone?"
"You are, sir", Stone sighs. Dr. Robotnik nods and looks back to you.
"So, what is it that you do?"
"She-", Stone tries to say.
"Uhp, no, Stone. I asked her." Both men look down at you as you uncomfortably shift in your chair. Dr. Robotnik's presence alone gives you shivers and makes you question your own existence.
"I answer the phone calls and such, I also-"
"Phone calls? What phone calls are you getting, because I sure haven't gotten any", Dr. Robotnik says sarcastically.
"I have been sending them to your line...unless I made a mistake, which is very much likely...", you frantically turn your attention to the phone and begin to look at all of the buttons.
Robotnik lets out a large cackle that cause both you and Stone to jump. He slaps Stone on the shoulder before he stops laughing, just as suddenly as he started.
"Younglings, so easily malleable. They're like little deer in the forest, ready to run at any sound", the Dr. wipes a fake tear from his eye. "I was kidding, take a joke, ha! You've been acceptable."
"Thank you sir, it's been a pleasure meeting you", you say trying to not cry or yell at him.
"Of course it’s pleasurable, I am the smartest man in the world, of course", he smirks while adjusting his coat. "Now, get back to work!"
After the Dr. leaves, both you and Stone let out a deep breath.
"Well, whatdya think?", Agent Stone says, giving you a small smile.
"I have a headache now."
Timeskip
You look at the clock and see it's five o'clock. Quitting time. You sigh, relieved
to finally go home. You pick up your bag and get up from the desk.
As you begin to walk to the door you feel a hand on your shoulder. You turn around to see Stone.
"Hey! What's up?"
"So, let me just get right to the point. I'm going to be gone next week due to some personal reasons, and I kinda of...need someone to fill in for me..." You listen to him intently before realizing what he's implying. Your eyes widen.
"Me?! I can't do that, no no no!"
"Oh c'mon, you're the only one who will", Stone begs.
"No I am not!", you turn back to leave.
"Please! I will teach you everything you need to know. If anything goes wrong you know how to reach me. Please, help me out." You bite your lip and turn to look at him again.
"Alright...I guess."
"Awh, sweet, thank you Y/N", Stone gives you a hug. "Trust me, it will be fine. I'll write everything out and show you what to do. It's like taking care of a baby!" You laughed at the comparison of your boss to a baby.
Approximately at noon, your phone alerts you it's time for lunch. You sigh and sit up to stretch. You have been working at your job for about a week and a half and am starting to get used to things.
Things like...typically the other workers usually worked through their lunch break so it would always be you and Stone in the break room. Not a lot of phone calls or people come in, so you pass the time by playing games on the desk computer. If you do get calls, they're either government officials looking for the Dr., or spam calls. Sometimes, if you're really bored you humor the spam callers. Oh, and you still haven't met Dr. Robotnik. Agent Stone says there's a good chance you'll never meet him as he's a private person, more than before, and he's always busy. You haven't even found his laboratory.
It did sadden you since meeting him was a big motivation for you to apply, but it's whatever. Agent Stone was a pretty cool person. He liked talking with you. He'd bring you coffee every time he'd have to for the Dr., and he'd eat lunch with you everyday. He even teased you for playing during work time, but he promised to never tell.
You get up from the desk and walk to the break room. You see Stone is already there, sitting in his normal spot near the door.
"Hello", you chirp. He glances up and smiles.
"Hello, Miss L/N. How has your day been?"
"Not too bad. I beat my last score in that one bowling game."
"Ooh, very exciting", he laughs. You sit next to him and pull out your sandwich and take a bite.
"How has your day been?"
"Eh, not as great as yours. The Dr. also beat a record - for the amount of insults he's said to me before noon." You frown. You knew Stone was constantly degraded by the Dr., which Stone said is normal behavior, but it made you upset.
"I'm sorry. Would you like some of my sandwich?"
"What is it?"
"Peanut butter and jelly."
"Are you a child?", he laughs. You roll your eyes playfully at him and hand him the other half of your sandwich. As the two of you enjoy your food, you hear a buzz echo through the hall from the entrance.
"Who could that be?", you ask.
"No idea, we weren't expecting anyone." You get up and Agent Stone does too, following you to the front.
The two of you look at the glass entrance door and see a man wearing a flannel shirt and jeans.
You press the speaker button at your desk and ask him to state his name and reason for coming.
"Tom Wachowski, I'm here to see Dr. Robotnik."
"Uh, for what, sir?"
"A private meeting." You turn and look at Agent Stone. He nods for you to unlock the door which you do. As the man walks in, you immediately recognize him as the sheriff of Green Hills, as well as the man who is friends with the Blue Devil.
Stone walks up to him and gets close to his face.
"If you need to speak to the Dr. you can speak to me."
"This is a personal matter."
"You can talk to me." Tom scoffs and rolls his eyes.
"My family and I deserve a settlement for dealing with that monster of a man. I'm coming here personally and if I don't get what I want, I can assure you I'll get my lawyer to come here." Stone sighs and excuses himself. As you and Tom are alone, you awkwardly drum your fingers on the desk.
Stone comes back with a checkbook in his hand and leans on the desk.
"How much?"
"What?", Tom says surprised.
"How much are you asking for?"
"$20,000..." Stone scribbles down on the check and rubs it out, handing it to Tom. "That's it? No fight?"
"Doesn't need to be, the Dr. is very busy right now." Tom looks at the check in shock before thanking Stone and leaving.
"Woah, you weren't even gonna tell the Dr.?"
"The Dr. doesn't need to know. He won't care anyways. He's too engulfed in experimenting right now to care about petty business."
"What's he working on?"
"It's confidential information, but even if I could tell you, I wouldn't know. He hasn't allowed me to see his latest work and it's a bit upsetting. I miss seeing his achievements. Whatever it is, he's hoping it will assist him in getting back on top."
The both of you walk back to the break room to finish your lunches.
The sun is shining and the birds are chirping. It's the first day of summer, and you're on your way to begin your summer internship. Choosing between this and doing numerous odd jobs to earn money for your last year of college wasn't a hard decision. You had always heard stories about the town boogeyman that was Dr. Robotnik. You were surprised when you were selected for the job, until you found out that no one else had the balls to apply.
See, you were going to a college states away, but you grew up in Green Hills. You were away at school when the whole Blue Devil incident happened and only had the tall tales to understand what happened. Ever since, you've been itching to meet Dr. Robotnik, just to gaze at the man that changed your once peaceful home. You also really want the scholarship and credits.
You sigh, pulling into a lot where a large, black metal bus type vehicle loomed. You grab your bag and get out, taking in the scenery - a large white building.
You actually had to travel a little bit to get to the place you'd be working. Apparently, after the Dr. had a "slight breakdown" after the Blue Devil incident, the government wasn't interested in funding him as much. They compromised, stating he will be stationary in the states for a while, before they feel he's ready to go on missions again. He could pick wherever he wanted to work on his experiments and projects, and he chose 30 mintues from Green Hills.
You gulp as you walk up to the entrance, quickly looking around. To your left was a buzzer system which you press, internally cringing with anxiety.
A second passes before you're asked to state your name and purpose.
"Y/N L/N, I'm here for the internship", you nervously giggle at the end of your sentence.
The door unlocks and you pull it open, immediately getting hit with the cool air from inside.
You step in, looking around. About twenty feet ahead of you was a reception desk where a man sat on the phone. He has dark hair and neatly trimmed stubble. His outfit was also dark. The floors, walls and ceiling were marble. Chandelier lights hang down and potted plants stand high in various parts of the room.
It's very open and sterile feeling, almost enough to make you shiver with how exposed you feel. You make your way to the desk as the man glances up at you and holds a finger up. You hold your arms close to your body and nibble your lip.
"Okay, thank you so much! I will tell him the next time I see him! Mhm, buh-bye!" The man hangs up the phone and looks up at you, a warm smiling planting itself on his face.
"Hi, I'm Y/N!", you reach your hand over the desk. The man takes it and shakes it.
"Hello, I'm Agent Stone! We've been anticipating your arrival." Agent Stone
stands and walks around the desk. "If you want to follow me, I can give you a tour."
You nod and walk behind him as he leads you through a doorway. You both walk through a long hallway, feet echoing. He shows you the different rooms, like other worker's offices, the bathroom, breakroom, and conference rooms. He also explains how it isn't the most inviting place, but it's the best they could do in such a short amount of time.
"We all, as well as Dr. Robotnik, hope that this will only be temporary and we'll be able to get back to working in different places and go back to life as usual." Agent Stone flashes you a smile as he leads you back to the front desk.
"So, what is it you need me to do?", you ask.
"Ah, you will be running front desk. Not very exciting, but very much needed. I'm going to be real with you, I cannot keep up with this and being, what is essentially, Dr. Robotnik's assistant. But don't worry, I'll show you what to do, it's pretty simple."
He shows you all the things you need to know and then leaves you to get settled in.
"Oh, before I forget!" He turns back to you and pulls out an earpiece from his pocket. "This is for you. If there is any emergency or you just need help, call me using this, it's much easier."
You take the piece from him and wave a goodbye. Once he's gone you stop smiling, letting your face relax. You look at the earpiece and see it's pretty self-explanatory. You attach it to your ear and sit back in your chair. Today is gonna be smooth.
