||ON HOLD|| My Nightmare (SCP-049 x F! Reader)

Chapter 15

  You couldn't tell if it was morning, night, or in the middle of the day. Mammon had his head in your lap with you petting him. He loved affection from those he trusts and him purring with a low tone was just enough as a sign.

  Being in containment and classified as an SCP wasn't as fun, but some familiar guards would come in on shift and chat with you. It was nice talking to someone.

  You wished you could see Josef again. You loved his smile and amber gold eyes. You remembered when he first took off his mask. Finally seeing his face.

  You looked down at Mammon. He was sleeping. It looked like he only had three eyes due to the four smaller ones blending in as if they weren't there. He looked calm for once. Not a bother in the world.

  You looked up and saw the normal shift routines between the guards. You would always remember how many times the shift changes until Zachary, one of the guards, would take over.

  Zachary was fun to chat to. Sometimes he would bring a deck a cards for both of you to play, sometimes he would bring drawing supplies, or he would bring new books for you to read.

  You honestly thought he didn't deserve to work in a place like this. Occasional breaches, possibility of being mauled to death by an SCP, etc.

  During the shift change, you recognized his voice immediately.

"Hey Zachary! How's going?"

"Surely it's going."

"Nice, nice."

  There was silence for a little bit until he spoke up again.

"Soooo, we're here to take you out of containment for a little bit."

  You jerked up at the sentence causing Mammon to wake up a little.

"Is there a reason why?"

"Well from what I was told, you're apparently going to see 096 for "experimentation"."

  You guessed he mocked one of the scientists by the way he said the word 'experimentation'. This made you laugh a little.

"Anyway, it's around day so he shouldn't really be a problem right?"

  He pointed at Mammon who in return just stared back.

"He should be fine, just have some rose or jasmine scented items on hand just in case. If anything, I'll be here to make sure he doesn'tdo anything bad."

  He shook his head and opened the containment cell. You walked to the door. It's been a while since you've gone outside the cell, already enjoying the fresh but stagnant air.

  As you were escorted, Mammon to your side minding his own business, it was quiet.

  After a couple of minutes, of which felt like an hour of walking, you finally reached 096's containment cell.

  They let you in and they began the 'experiment'. 096 was huddled over in a corner hiding his face as usual.

  You knelt down and pulled out a pencil from your orange jumper' pocket. You tapped the pencil on the concrete floor, making metal ticking sounds echo in the room to get his attention.

  096 looked over and saw you. He made an attempted smile and crawled over to you like a monkey. It was cute.

  Mammon was sat next to you, calm. Him and 096 got along well when you guys were trying to escape the facility. After a little bit, the intercom for the cell came on.

"Ok. We only brought you here to ask a few questions. First question, D-3176, it appears that you are able to look at SCP-096's face. Now we may be able to figure out why, but just in case, please tell us if there is anything else that interferes."

"Well I mean what you already know is about it. I am a little near sighted but I don't think that would interfere, right?"

"No, not entirely."

~~Timeskip~~

  After answering a few more questions, you were sent back to your containment cell. When you got there, there was a digital clock with a bedside table.

  'They remembered, nice', you thought. You remembered asking for a clock to keep track of time and to try to at least sleep better.

"Hey, uh, is the clock set to the correct time?"

"It should be."

  You nodded in response and sat on your bed. It appears it was 5:33 in the afternoon and decided to take a nap.

  You layed down and left an arm to hang off the bed to pet Mammon. He always layed on the floor to the side of the bed as a way of protection.

  You were constantly staring at the clock to your side until you fell asleep.
