After watching the movie in theaters, I can honestly say I would watch a Disney+ show just about H.E.R.B.I.E. taking care of Franklin

a very short johnny blurb (wrote it with johnny x reader in mind but this is literally just a H.E.R.B.I.E. and reader besties fic)

authors note: i’m going through such a tough time that these characters are the only thing keeping me pushing through

heavily inspired by H.E.R.B.I.E.’s lullaby bc its genuinely comforting to me

was this the weakest point of your life ?? maybe.

You were no stranger to late night crying sessions. In fact, they were turning into a part of the night, part of the routine. They helped let out your frustrations and struggles enough so you could finally relax for the night and get some sleep otherwise you’d be tossing and turning from the pent up emotions so you usually welcomed these moments. The problem ?? you weren’t in the comfort of your own home. alone.

you only stayed the night at the baxter building every once in a while. mostly sundays when you all had family dinner, they all welcomed you with open arms and made you feel like a part of the family when you started dating johnny, it’s not like you would ever turn down family dinner. the night always ended with johnny insisting that it was way too late for you to go all the way home so he usually convinced you to stay the night, letting you borrow some of his clothes and crawl into bed with him where he would just hold you until you fell asleep. but those are the good nights where everything works out.

tonight was not one of those nights. you had an extremely hard time at work and wanted nothing more than to hang out with your boyfriend and his family that had slowly turned into your family. you knew they would make you feel better. and they did. until it was night and everyone was in their rooms, asleep. and you were awake with your thoughts all alone.

you were sitting on johnny’s bed, his sleeping body next to you. you were trying so hard to stifle your sobs so you didn’t wake him up but it was getting harder by the minute, so difficult that you decided to just head downstairs.

you sat on one of the couches and as soon as you truly took in the silence and darkness of the room you let yourself break. not full on loud, messy sobbing but enough where you felt like you couldn’t breathe from the impact of the sobs. you were covering your mouth with your hand to be more quiet but you weren’t completely successful as you hear whirring next to you then quiet, tiny beeps.

“hey herbie” you whisper, your voice scratchy and practically invisible from the cracks in every word.

another beep.

“no dont get him. i don’t wanna worry him. and i know he’s tired, he needs to rest”

more beeps.

“im fine, herb. i promise.”

he rolls closer to you. more beeps.

“yeah sure, bud”

he starts to beep in a calming lullaby.

you close your eyes and try to bring yourself down from your breakdown. suprised that it was this tiring, as your other ones were usually just a few tears and sniffling. but this one had hurt.

you lay down as herbie continues his little lullaby and feel your eyes get heavier.

by the time he’s done, you’re passed out from the exhaustion of your emotions. the little robot grabs the blanket draped across the arm of the couch and drags it up to your neck so you were completely covered, even if for a little bit so he could go get johnny.

or at least he was, until the robot turns around and sees johnny already standing there, having woken up from the lack of you next to him.

herbie beeps

“i know, can i take over ??” johnny asks the little robot

another beep

“thanks herbie” he pats him on his metal head before going over to the couch and crouching down and brushing your hair back out of your face, gently as to not wake you. he slowly moves the blanket out of the way and picks you up bridal style to take you back up to his bed.

as soon as your head hits the pillow, you stir.

“johnny ??” you whisper

“shh, i got you” he replies, planting a kiss on your forehead before wrapping his arms around you and pulling you closer. “are you okay ??” he whispers into your hair.

“i will be.” you whisper back, leaning into his hold “long as i got you guys”

“always.”
