Finding The Path To Your Heart ❤️🤖 [OG REBOOT][Pathfinder X Reader]

Chappie Quattro

                        A wave of fresh air smacked my face as soon as we stepped outside. It was a welcome change from the heavy smell of booze and sweat in the bar. The moonlight reflecting off of Pathfinder's metal body made him almost look like he was glowing.

"Are you feeling a little better out here now?" He asked.

"Yeah, it feels super nice out tonight," I replied. "Hey, what's your real name? Is it really Pathfinder?"

"No, my real name is M-R-V-N!"

"M-R-V...? Huh. That's a uh, unique name. Kinda sounds like Marvin."

"It stands for Mobile Robotic Versatile eNtity. That's just my designated name, anyways. What about you Turrent, what's your real name?" I told him my name is Elke Dietrich and he took a second to sound it out.

"Elke? That's a cute name, I like it!"

                     My face grew a little warm at the compliment. That, and because I think the alcohol was starting to kick in. My legs felt wobbly and I started veering towards MRVN. He stopped walking and caught me in his arms just before I could crash into him.

"Woah there, are you okay?"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fiiine. Just getting a little, uh, a little tipsy, I guess," It suddenly felt more difficult to spit out sentences. The last thing I wanted to do was become a drunk mess in front of Pathfinder, but that's exactly what was happening.

"Maybe we should call it a night and take you back ho-"

"Hey! We were looking for ya, newbie. The karaoke's starting, you can't miss it!" Mirage had yet again come out of nowhere in between the both of us. I noticed he had a habit of doing that often. Before either of us could say anything, Mirage was dragging me back to the bar.

"Or maybe not," Pathfinder said awkwardly as he followed right behind. I felt a little unsure about karaoke but had no objections; maybe I'd be able to break the ice with my fellow Legends and have a fun, memorable night. 

[cut to morning]

Yeah, I have no fucking idea what happened last night.

                        Bright sunlight burned through my eyelids and forced me to wake up. I was laying on a couch with a blanket over me, and leaning on the couch right next to me was Pathfinder hooked up by wires to a machine on the wall. Wait a second, where the hell even am I? It looks like some sort of scientific lab. Everything was very neat and tidy, but the place was completely empty. Looking back over at Pathfinder again, it looked like he was asleep. He definitely wasn't awake, that was for sure. Even his signature smiley face screen was shut off. I leaned in close to him and tried tapping his shoulder a few times as if that might wake him up. It didn't, but I continued to stare at him closely and study all his robotic features anyways. I know it's a really weird thing to stare at someone while they sleep, but I couldn't help but get lost in gazing at him. That bit me in a booty a few seconds later when he suddenly turned on and sat straight up. "GOOD MORNING FRIEND!"

"OH SHI-!!" I nearly fell off the couch in a panicked frenzy. "Agh, you almost gave me a heart attack!" I wailed while holding my heart.

"What can I say, you were asking for it," he chuckled and began unhooking his back from the cords.

"You're right, but still. Anyways, where am I? What happened last night?"

"You don't remember? You almost got into a fist fight with Bloodhound and tried to start a food fight at the bar. We almost got arrested if we didn't hide out in this abandoned research lab," he said casually.

"I WHAT?!" I jumped from the couch in shock of my sins.

"Just kidding! You drank lots and sang a bunch of karaoke songs with everyone else. At one point Caustic punched the T.V. through because he couldn't keep up with the words, and you ended up puking all over said T.V. Everyone had a great time though!"

"M, you stupid liar!" I laughed and smacked him with my blanket, annoyed that he scared me like that but relieved it didn't really happen. "I'm glad last night went well. Still, where are we? Back at the Apex base or something?" It seemed like it might be with all the technological stuff lying around.

"No, this really is some old abandoned research lab I was booted up in decades ago and have been living in ever since. Couldn't figure out where you lived so I took you to my place instead. I was also worried you might get sick from all that drinking so I wanted to keep a close eye on you overnight anyways." My heart skipped a beat. So he had been looking out for me all night? He was the one who brought me on the couch and covered me with a blanket and made sure I didn't get sick while I slept...

"You were taking care of me. Thank you so much M, you don't know how much I appreciate everything you've done for me up until now. Seriously," I felt shy confessing my feelings so genuinely like that, but it had to be said. It's been a long time since someone's been so considerate to me, which makes sense since you don't find a lot of genuinely considerate people in the wealthy circle.

Pathfinder's screen changed to that same embarrassed emoji I saw yesterday. "I told you, that's what pals are for. If anything I should be thanking you for how friendly you've been to me. A-Anyways, are you hungry? I don't have anything to eat here, but we can go out to eat if you want. Well, you can go eat and I'll watch you eat?"

"The way you word it makes it sound creepy. I'd love to!" I threw a thumbs up. "Where's the front door?"

"Don't you wanna put on some pants before you go out?"

I slowly looked down at my legs, afraid of the worst. It was true. I wasn't wearing any pants and my kitty-face pattern printed underwear was on full display in all it's feline glory. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Where the hell are my pants!?" I exclaimed, my face heating up to boiling point.

"You got puke all over them, so I took the liberty of throwing them in the wash last night. Here you go!" He cheerfully offered me my now fresh and clean jeans, seemingly unbothered that I'd been half naked this entire time. I guess since Pathfinder was a robot he didn't have a dirty mind about that sort of thing. "Nice underwear by the way, love the cats!" He gave an innocent thumbs up. "Hhhthanksbuddy," I said before quickly putting on the jeans. I'm glad he didn't let me sleep in nasty pants, but it was still a little embarrassing.xx
