Promise
Fu oroster (cleaner trial) x Cleaner reader! Final part!
GUYS IM ALIVE SORRY FOR THE LONGGGG WAIT!!
Your foot tapped the floor restless. No idea why, it’s not a habit you have usually or lately at all. Semiu called you for a ‘mission’ but they called back saying ‘never mind’. But then she just asked you to keep her company for a bit.
“Stop tippy tappin, your team will be back today so you’ll be able to get back to work.” Semiu informed. But you already knew that. Surprisingly, you located your choker com and decided to call Zanka last night.
You knew everyone would be partying and Zanka being Zanka would’ve snuck away a few times for breaks alone. He was surprised you called him but happy to talk nonetheless.
“I miss Fu.” You stated to the point. “Hey Zanka my glorious, handsome, humble, tan, nonchalant, lovely eyebrowed bestest friend, how are you this evening? Oh hi Y/n I am great thanks for asking!” Zanka said sarcastically with an eye roll you couldn’t see yet feel.
“Oh I didn’t know you wanted to play one truth six lies.” You said with a grin he could hear. “And don’t call your patchy ass eye brows lovely again. I should shave them in your sleep.” You cringed but it was all playful.
Zanka scoffed. “Okay Mrs I used to draw my eyebrows on every day when I was fifteen. Now did you only call me to tell me you miss your boyfriend or what?” He asked. “Yes.” You stated bluntly. “Oh okay then bye- wait what was the one truth?” Zanka questioned and you laughed.
“I’ll tell you if you tell me how Fu is doing.” Zanka picked up how there was a hint of seriousness and concern so he dropped the sarcasm. “He’s fine I’d say. I think he was chilling in the corner before I left. Followed Gris around most the time.” Zanka informed.
You pursed your lips with a smack. “Okay bye!” You sang before hanging up. “Wait you didn’t tell me the one truth!” He called out but it was too late.
And that’s how that went..
“I think I forgot to make my bed-“ You tried to make an excuse. “Sit down.” And sat you did. Semiu was the only one you listened to without question or back talk. The lovely receptionist mumbled something about not wanting to have this situation go on any longer.
Your foot was crazy outta control. Tapping rapidly your nickname should be thumper. Ears perking and twitching with every little noise. You grit your teeth, annoyed at yourself for feeling nervous. Mentally trying to gaslight yourself into thinking you weren’t.
But the moment you heard someone’s hand land on the front doors to open- you were gone in a flash. Tomme was the first one to come in the doors. Excited to share her notes with Semiu and turn them in. Then the rest behind her.
Semiu side eyed you who stood down at the end of the hall. “Hey y’all. Glad you’re back. We missed you- not you,” She pointed at Enjin quick. The man smiled not taking it to heart. “Especially Y/n! She was so excited to see and greet you all but you just missed her!” She raised her voice, terrible at being subtle.
“If you be quick I’m sure one of you could catch her she was just down the hall!” Semiu leaned back in her chair peeping down the hall at you. Team Akuta were confused but caught on quickly. Well not Fu. “I said, I’m sure one of you could catch her if you’re quick.” Semiu repeated looking directly at Fu who jumped.
“Why is she looking at me?” He asked Riyo. You gulped and ran up stairs as fast as you could skidaddle. “I think you should man. Come invite her to lunch with us! Meet ya there!” Riyo pushed everyone to the cafeteria.
“O-okay..” Fu anxiously smiled and stiffened. After the group left Semiu smiled. “She told me to tell you to go to the room.” You did not- and that’s exactly where you are unfortunately. “Going.” Fu marched forward slow and awkward.
You paced back and forth from one wall to the other. That was until Fu swung open the door. You stopped like a deer in lights. Then forced a big smile. “Hey.” You tried to casually greet. Fu gulped and shyly waved.
Talk about awkward.
You took a deep breath in before scaring the poor boy. “I missed you!” You shouted. Fu jolted like a scared cat. Maybe you did yell loud… He didn’t reply which made you want to run away. “Okay bye.” You pursed your lips and tried to rush past him. “I missed you too.” It was barely a whisper but you heard Fu say.
You stopped.
You smiled as did Fu. Which is good, now things could go back to normal. But they didn’t… For the next few days it atleast seemed normal. But, at the end of the day when it was peaceful in your shared room, it felt off. Like there was still space left between you two. You lost sleep over it. Trying to figure out what next.
Tossing the covers and standing up. You covered your dear best friend and minion up. Fu stirred clutching the blanket with a soft hum. You smiled down at him with a soft smile. Now going off for the only person who could explain things to you that you understand.
Zanka grumbled with a glare. “Go to bed.” He yawned and stated closing his door. “Anyways here’s the deal. You help me.” You walked right past him and slumped onto his bed. Zanka rolled his eyes but followed. “If it’s more boy troubles get out.” He sighed. “It is-“ you said. “Out.” He pointed to the door.
“Please.”
Zanka shook his head with yet another big dramatic sigh. His stupid eyebrows softened although. It’s not often he hears you ask for help. Scratch that- Zanka thinks he ain’t even ever hear ya say please. “Alright, let’s hear it.” You smiled at your besties reluctance. “Me and Fu, we still feel awkward.” You started while Zanka listened.
“Well yeah, I’d be upset if my girlfriend told me to buzz off.” He huffed lying on his back. “You do know we ain’t actually dating?” You raised a brow. “Not yet.” Zanka said simply. You didn’t deny, silently agreeing. “Anyway, we both said we missed each other then that was that. Now what?” You said.
“You’re telling me you ain’t even apologize yet!?” Zanka sat up quickly making you jolt too. “I mean- i wanted to! I will- am.. I just don’t know how exactly.” You facepalmed. “Okay okay,” Zanka sat up straight and motioned you to as well. Now facing each other on his bed.
“So why did you want to take a break?”
“I was scared and had to sort out my emotions.”
“Do you understand why Fu got upset?”
“I didn’t explain why I did that so randomly and broke my promise to always be with him…”
You do truly feel bad for that. Zanka flashed you a smile. “Well that’s it. You don’t need to do this big grand confession. You just need to talk to him.” Zanka stated and you nodded. “Yeah I’ll just do that. Yup.” You hesitantly nodded. “I don’t know why you’re so scared when it comes to him. But you shouldn’t be, it’s obvious you two care deeply for each other. So when you go apologize, don’t be scared.” Zanka the wise said.
Your eye twitch and a stiff grin etched your face.
“Me? Scared!? That’s funny, you got jokes Zanka?” You grit your teeth at his audacity. “Yeah go prove it then hot shot.” Zanka added to the fuel. “Is that a challenge? Don’t underestimate me! I’ll go right now!” You stood up with a popped vein. “Go then, right now!” Zanka laughed at you.
You matched straight to your room with a irritated smile. Swung the door open and roared. “Fu! Wake up!” Fu jumped out of bed quick, hair flying up as if Hii was about to come out. But after realizing it was just you he calmed down. “What’s wrong ma’am is every thing all right?” Fu held his hands up out to you hesitantly.
“No!- ahem- I mean no,” Oh no.
This is it. You’re actually gonna get rid of him!? He has no where to go! The raiders seem mad at him plus you’ll probably would be even more mad at that!! Plus he doesn’t want to be away from you ever. You’re not only bossy but also nice to him, treating him like a person. And he hasn’t- hasn’t even-
“Fu im sorry.”
And just like that his racing thoughts and nervous system calmed in an instant.
Fu’s eyes glossed. You grabbed his hands in yours. “N-no don’t be. It’s all my fault, I was being too clingy and annoying and-“ Fu immediately started apologizing. “I don’t think you’re annoying!” You raised your voice. Not mad or yelling, just loud enough to make him stop. Reassuring not harsh. Fu gulped and looked to the side.
It fell silent with Fu not knowing what to do next and you taking a moment to gather the right words. “I,” you started, voice with the slightest shake. “I was scared so I pushed you away.” The boy looked at you surprised. You, scared? “I pushed you away without explanation and that was a jerk move. I did it without thinking of how it would hurt you and I’m sorry.” You hung your head, gritting your teeth.
Mad at yourself.
“It’s okay I promise.” Fu tried to reassure you quickly. “No it’s not! You have to admit it and acknowledge your feelings too so we can move forward together.” You barked. “Yeah okay. Together.” Fu nodded. “I was scared too… I hated that I had to leave without you too.” The boy said.
“It was good though.” You started, Fu looking at you worried. “It made me realize how much I hate being apart from you too.” You smiled gently. Fu’s face lit up. “Yeah?” He asked. “Yeah.” You answered. “I missed every one of course. But it’s different with you.” You stepped closer, knuckled brushing his cheek. “Different good? Or different bad?” Fu hesitantly asked.
“Good.” You cooed. It sent shivers down his spine. Fu gulped once more as you stared right into his soul. This is it right? The ‘moment’ the girls were talking about? Confess or just go for it!? No it’d seem wrong just to randomly kiss you without telling you how he feels! But he’s scared to confess too! Oh boy!!
But what if you only mean what you said because he’s your minion? Or if you’re secretly inlove with Zanka! Or Eisha even, you tease her a lot!! Or what if this is going to be his only shot!? Fu internally panicked.
Then your eyes widened.
Fu crashed his lips onto yours. Sloppy, even clanking your teeth. It was shocking. Fu pulled you closer to him. Kissing you like a last goodbye. Before you could even process it, he pulled away. Slowly opening his eyes, Fu’s face fell mortified. Like he realized what he just did. As if it was bad.
“I’m sorry!!” Fu jumped away and immediately fell to the ground on his knees apologizing. “I don’t want to be away from you ever again! I’ve always felt differently with you too but I thought it was just you being nice but realized I like seeing you happy! And being the one to make you happy, and I want to continue doing that and being with you and stay by your side!!” Fu confessed. You plopped infront of him.
He looked up scared. “I’ll decide that I want to be with you too! You do really make me so happy Fu. So happy to the point that I’m sad without you. But I want you to be happy aswell. Not just because I am.” You lightly laughed although serious. “I am happy, the happiest ive ever been. And that’s with you.” Fu said all seriousness.
You smiled.
Leaning in to kiss him again. Fu returned it. Soft and endearing this time. Like time stopped. He’s a good kisser, you wonder if he’s kissed other people. But that’s a question for another time.
“I promise we won’t ever be apart again. If I break my promise I order you to kill me.”
“What!?”
“My order to you is if I ever stop loving you, you have permission to kill me.”
“I love you too.”
