Trust (Among Us-Male Reader)

Job

(Y/N) POV

It's already been a day since we launched. And everyone has sorta gone into their friend groups.

I mostly hang out with Jaren, Tom and Kelly. They are an interesting family, to say the least. Jaren has so much experience of space flight it's crazy to think he is still alive.

He told me this story where the engine had a meltdown and him and his crew barely got out alive....crazy stuff. Tom does most of the navigation stuff while Newton directs him to the places we have to visit. As for Kelly...she's kinda useless.

I'm not trying to be mean. But she's a scatterbrain. And her lack of physical strength surprises me...makes me wonder how she even got in the program to begin with.

I'm currently in the fuel room refuelling everything. I quickly learned I was one of the stronger members. Joseph and Newton are both more capable than me but not by much.

I finish my task as I divert power to the upper engine so I can refuel the lower one.

Once I was finished, it was break time.

"(Y/N) over here!" Christy calls me over as I grab a plate of food and walk to their table. She and Joseph were having lunch with Olivia

"So, how was the sleep last night?" Christy asks

"Wasn't bad. Feels weird not hearing any traffic noises," I say as they laugh

"Trust me...you'll learn to love it," Olivia adds in as she continues talking

"Everything up here is better. You're surrounded by smart people. You don't get the chance to be chased around by some mindless idiots, and a bonus arrives when cuties like you show up," She says as I almost choke on my food

"Cat got your tongue?" She asks because I'm speechless

"Not quite," I finally say as she laughs

"The med bay calls," She says as she walks out leaving us at the table

"She really likes you," Joseph says as I laugh a bit

"I doubt it...besides aren't new romances banned on the flight?" I ask as they start laughing hard

"Of course they aren't, you can sleep with any women on this ship but this one," he teases as he hugs Christy

"Oh...that's surprising," I say referring to the new romance bit

"I would have expected it to be banned...after all you don't want crew mates getting too carried away," I say as they chuckle

"Nope, but this is how we meet," they say as they start telling me how they meet

It was during an asteroid storm. The ship was being pelted and they hugged each other waiting for death. They confessed their feelings for each other and the storm passed. They then got married a year or two later

"How romantic," Christy says as she rubs her purple helmet with her hands

"Speaking of asteroids, Newton wanted Christy and me to prepare to shoot at them before we reach the asteroid belt we are headed toward

"Alright, cya around," I say as they leave.

I finish my lunch and look for Newton for a new task

I walk to the navigation room and see Newton talking with Tom

"I have finished fueling the engines," I say as he looks at me

"Wonderful, would you mind helping Kelly with the O2 filter? I'd rather not have to replace another set...she's already broken one," Newton says as Tom laughs

"On my way," I say as I turn around and begin to walk

"Hold up," He says as I look back

"Slow it down mate. The tasks don't need to be completed instantly...they aren't urgent," he says as I nod and continue on my way across the hall into the O2 room.

Kelly was fiddling around with something as I walked in. She was sitting in a chair with the filter in her hands

"Damn thing!" She curses as I tap her back.

She screeches as she jumps...as she does she drops the filter as it bangs on the ground

"You scared me!" She says as I apologize and pick up the filter. The frame is all bent from the hit.

"A www man...I broke another," she says as I look at it

"Should be fine as long as we can straighten the frame," I say as I straighten it out and put it back in.

"Done," I mutter as she looks at me in awe

"Your awesome," she says

"Just doing my job," I say as she nods

"God...I'm so useless," She says as she leans back against the seat of her chair

"I wish I could be more helpful like you," she says

"Keep trying...you'll get there eventually," I say as she nods

"Do you have any more tasks?" I ask as she brings out her logbook. She keeps all her tasks in there so she doesn't forget them

"I have to empty the garbage then I'm done for the day," she says

"I'll help you that," I say as we walk to the kitchen and do the garbage

"Where's dad?" She asks as we do the task

"I think he is the reactor room," I say as she nods

"Gotcha," she mutters as we finish

"Phew," she says as she thinks about what she is going to do

We passed the calendar as we left the kitchen. We are expected to investigate Alien life in 2 days. That's assuming everything goes good

"Well, I'm going to head to my room," Kelly says as we head our separate ways. I walk to the reactor and I see Jaren working away

"Need any help?" I ask the old-timer

"Yea, could you flip that small switch? I'm not as flexible as I used to be," he says as I follow his instructions.

"Thanks," he says as I finish

"I'm almost done here now boy," He says as he looks at me

"Thanks for the help," he says as he basically chases me out. I quickly learned that the reactor room is his...no one is allowed to touch it but him unless it's an emergency.

I walk back to the calendar and see what's up for tomorrow.

"Fun Day?" I read it as I think

"What's the fun day?" I ask myself.

I guess we will find out tomorrow
