Termination Protocol Noli x Reader
[Prev -> "Generosity...?"]
[Next -> "Office Day"]
Warnings: none, I guess. Unless you are vegan or vegetarian I guess, then burger consumtion...? Idk.
A/N: honestly, I don't mind if people send multiple fic requests so long as it's not like A LOT back to back. Like I don't encourage you to put five fic requests in my ask box in one day. My fics are usually short and take like... maybe 30 minutes-an hour or two or a day-day and a half to get it mostly presentable...

Just peachy. You missed lunch to chase some low-threat exploiters and turned them in, and Mr. Doombringer still won’t give you one of his goddamn rib sandwiches after what happened yesterday. Plus, You skipped breakfast because you thought you’d have lunch… but you didn’t…
In the back of your mind, you hoped that either one of your friendlier co-workers could lend you a snack, or perhaps sneak you a rib sandwich.
Just then, a horribly familiar voice chuckled over your shoulder. “Alone on a Saturday night, darling?” they say in a teasing tone. You just sigh and look towards him, “I don’t have the energy to even pretend to hate you…”
“Awww, so you really do care?” he moved in front of you. “Well, since you love me, how about I take you somewhere for lunch-”
“Hey I never said-” you could barely get a word in. He then interrupted you “How about we check out that burger place down the street? I think you’d love it! And I’ll pay, it’ll be my treat, as a bit of a thank you for that sandwich you gave me, it was DELICIOUS, too bad the chef wants me terminated”
You felt exhausted just listening to him. You didn’t hate him. He wasn’t that bad… he’s just missing some marbles and has a few loose screws. And on top of that, he was a living glitch… Your job is to get rid of guys like these, but so far, you haven’t found a good reason to hate him fully… in fact, something about the way he acts around you makes you feel like you ate a whole insect exhibit alive at a zoo. You SHOULDN’T feel that way, but you do.
Anyways, while those thoughts were running through your mind, he had dragged you to the burger place. You and him made your orders and sat outside after getting your food. Noli was honest and paid… though it’s hard to say that the money was real, knowing Noli, he probably used a duplication glitch or something, but did that matter right now? Nope. Right now, your focus was to eat that burger as if it was your last meal. And damn, what a meal.
“You must’ve been hungry,” Noli said, followed by a light chuckle.
“Missed lunch 'cause a couple of wannabe hackers wanted to be the next 007n7.” You groaned. “And I skipped breakfast because I thought I’d have lunch when I was supposed to… and Doombringer stopped giving me those sandwiches after he found out I handed mine over to you yesterday.”
“Damn, why do you keep working for those admins, they're assholes…” Noli says with a huff. You can’t seem to find a good answer though, but he circles you and makes a theory. “You feel like it’s the right thing? Don’t you? Getting rid of the bad guys who vandalize, steal, and frame others? But you’ve gotten to know one of the anomalies they want to destroy, and now your questioning your own stance… but that’s just a theory, A GAM-”
You cut him off “alright alright, yes, I thought it was the right thing to do. It’s only halfway right though… like some people deserve to be terminated, but some people can’t help it that they’re glitched… can they?” You look at him, expecting an answer.
“Euh… depends on the glitch I guess? I’m too far gone to undo the glitch though…” Noli shrugs “but hey, I’m happy with my exploding kids and my glitchy lifestyle, they just hate that I don’t pay taxes or rent… or pay for anything”
“What about the food you just bought for-” you try to ask but he places a finger over your lips in a hushing gesture.
“That wasn’t real money, it’ll disappear in 5 minutes, so finish up and GTFO” he said, teleporting away… god he is insufferable sometimes… I guess you should still go back and pay with real money… but… maybe a free meal isn’t so bad, nobody would notice, right?

BONUS!
Earlier that day, Noli was bugging 007n7. "Heyyy sev, can I borrow your burger? I'll just make a copy of it, I promise."
"What, no, why would you even want a copy of my burger hat?" He questioned in annoyance. "Well, theres this one person, they've totally got a thing for me, and I was thinking, since they gave me a sandwich, I'll return the favor and give them a cheeseburger" Noli responded confidently.
"Noli... You know my burger hat isn't a real burger, right?" He sighed with bubbling anger. Noli snapped his fingers in a cartoonish pout, "darn, then that plan won't work..."
"WAIT, DID YOU THINK IT WAS REAL? WHAT IS WRONG WITH-"
"BYEEE!" Noli left quickly, eaving 007n7 to question why he let him in anyways... oh wait, he didn't, Noli glitched himself in...
