This was written to solely be platonic, but it can be romantic if you really want it to be
Sloppily made this to get it off my mind
Angst!!!! Also ep 8 spoilers
(Platonic) Caine x Reader
“It’s alright buddy, let it out.”
“I just—” Caine sighs, his voice cracking as he fidgets with his fingers, “I work so hard to make them happy, and it’s never enough! I slave over my office, making new, cool, fun adventures for them, and all I get are insults!”
His head lays in your lap as he looks up at you with a pout. “Am I… not enough?”
You let out a small sigh and move a hand to pet underneath his hat. It’s a little odd, but so is everything else. “You mean well, Caine. But you’re not perfect.”
“But I’m supposed to be perfect!” He shoots off the couch, hovering in front of you while his hands move with his words. “My soul purpose is to make humans happy. If I can’t do that, then…” his eyes bluescreen, and the area around you two begins to glitch.
Though, before anything can get too far, you grasp his arm and pull him into a close embrace. “Caine, I need you to listen to me. Can you do that?”
“Huh? Oh uh, yes. Yes I can.”
While he does not need to breathe, he seems to enjoy pretending to do so. He holds your hand as he waits to listen to whatever you have to say next. “You are doing your best. You just want your guests to be happy. That is good. But you need to listen to them.”
“But all they say is bad! If all the feedback is bad, then I would be bad, and I’m not bad!” He takes in a deep breath, “I’m not bad, right?” His eyes meet yours, and despite never knowing the beat of a heart, his eyes scream of a heart torn in half.
“You have good intentions, as well as some good ideas. You just need some help with going through with the adventures.” His pupils shrink and tremor. “But no, you are not bad. You have just bad things. You can fix this.”
“It’s okay, Caine. It’s going to be alright.”
With every thought going through his mind, every plead, every apology, that was the only thing he really hung on. The only thought he held close.
The last thought he held close
This was honestly going to be fluff but my mind decided it was not, so I guess that happened
TO ALL THE ASKS I SWEAR I AM WORKING ON THEM IVE BEEN BUSY BUT THEY ARE BEING WORKED ON I SWEAR
