Dave Strider X Reader (A Game of Pretend)

The Office

Yeah thats right. You saw him a few times.. You wondered why you didn't put this together sooner..

You stopped staring when your sister slightly shook you out of your trance. Trance? Trance.

You where led to another back to back set of desks. The desks where really big. It had a large Mac desktop <<If you don't know that brand then check your privilege and look it up.>> as well as a Mac laptop. This desk belonged to your sister. "This one is mine. The one across from me is Dirk. He and I met this way." She smiled as you sipped your coffee.

"Hey speaking of, where did Dirk and his brother go?" You looked around. "Oh he went to go clock in.." She responded. She looked at her phone clock. "Wai- WAIT NO." She set her stuff down and ran down the hallway. Prior to that she said; "I'll be right baCK I DIDNT CLOCK IN YET AND IT IS ALMOST 8."

You laughed and sat down, setting your bag beside you. Dave and Dirk sat down across from you. Dirk did some typing on his Laptop and Desktop. His desk was surprisingly neat for someone who looked like him. Uncaring is how you meant that.

Your sisters was slightly clean, just less organized and more cluttered. Dirk sort of smiled and looked at you as you played on your phone. He and Dave where having a conversation.

You could feel him looking at you. He stopped with Dave and spoke up to you. "So hey (Name), how do you like this place so far?" He asked, invitingly. You felt Dave's gaze on you too.

"I like it, very nerdy, much technology. Wow." You said with a slight smile, making a Doge attempt. They both sort of chuckled.

Lindsay came back soon enough,

"Guys its cool. Clocked in. On time. Swag." She sat down.

Currently you where playing on your phone and sort of conversing with every one else when you heard the background noise of people talking and the name of your favorite anime <<WELL IF A NIGGA DOESN'T LIKE ANIME THEN PRETEND YOU DO. HERE IS THE NAME OF ONE TO INSERT FOR YOU. CAUSE YOU'RE PRETENDING. Hm. You can use "Deathnote." Yeah. Use that.>>

"Yeah but the second volume was better..." You heard and turned around in the chair you sat in. "Actually, I think the third volume is better because; (Insert reason here)." You couldn't help but say.

Everyone stopped and stared. The boy and the girl discussing this didn't ignore you, but acknowledged you and you began a conversation on this topic.

Soon the two had to actually go back and do their jobs. You turned around and your sister sort of chuckled while keeping eyes on the desktop screen. "Nerd." She snickered. You looked at her. "Dork."

"Hey man. Harsh." She joked.

You where sort of nervous around the two new people, but this place really wasn't that boring. She sometimes showed you around stuff and let you pre-test some games and such. You actually had some fun. At one point you where left alone with Dave and luckily he wasn't as awkward as you and he started conversation with ease, seemingly pushing your awkwardness aside. Maybe he thought you where cute.

Oh don't be so absurd.

Right now you where sitting next to Lindsay, across from you was Dave and to your left diagonal was Dirk.

Dirk was really nice to you. Like he was good with teens or whatever. Teenwhisperer. You seemed to notice that he took a liking to your sister. It was nice since she never seemed to be the type to get all dem boys. You figured it was because she was rasing a teenager on her own and most guys may not find that very attractive.

So thats why you liked Dirk.

and also because he has a hella attractive younger brother.

Taylor Swift was on point with that song

and to the Dave over there

With the hella good hair

Why don't you come on over baby and

Shake, Shake, Shake

<<Im sorry XDD>>

You took the last sip of your coffee and slightly frowned as you dropped it into the trash bin dear sister had by her desk. You noticed it was mostly filled with coffee cans and cups.

"Sister, you have a bad addiction."

"Shoosh," She said. "I do not."

"Do too."

"Nigga. Shoosh. No."

"No I think you do."
Dirk joined in. "I dunno I think that maybe you do have an addiction to caffeine."

She sighed and stopped typing and looked up. "Dirk, no don't encourage her."

"I mean you drink a lot of coffee and such." He slightly smirked, antagonizing her.

"...Dirk.. just program ya programs." She couldn't help but smile.

-----

"Lindsay." A voice said. She turned in her chair. "Yes?" The man who called her name was in a suit and tie. Probably a manager cause he's dressed nice and everyone else looks like nerds.

"Did you get the replacement water bottles?" He looked like he was trying to keep from laughing. "Since you had that incident."

Then he and Dirk bursted into a fit of laughter in unison."

She looked like she was blushing slightly. "Yeaaah.. There.. In my car. Heh." She looked sort of embarrassed. She handed you a set of keys. "Those stacks of water bottles in the back of the car. Will you go get those?" She asked.

You smiled and politely got up. "I'll help ya." Dave said and got up. "Oh no!" You said, feeling a bit embarrassed. "I dunno.." Lindsay said. <<TYPING MY NAME THO. KNOWING IM TALKING ABOUT ME. HELLA WEIRD.>> "There are a few, he should probably help."

"Oh." You said. "Okay, Thanks Dave."

"Sure." He put his hands in his pockets and let you lead the way.

"So, (Name)," He spoke up as you two where going into another long hallway. "How long do you think it will be until Dirk asks your sister out?" He asked, sort of blunt. You sort of chuckled. "So you noticed it too?" You replied. "I dunno, thats all based on your brother. I hope soon though. He seems nice. I think my sister would like him, or likes him now, I guess."

==> (Name), stop being so awkward.

He chuckled as you nervously fumbled with the keys in your hand. "He constantly talks about her and I don't think he realizes it." You snickered.

"So what about you?" He asked. You looked at him, very confused. "W-what about me?"

"How long did it take for your boyfriend to ask you out?" He asked. You felt a blush dust and heat your face. "Oh I don't have a boyfriend!" You answered. He looked sort of surprised, but tried to hide it. "Seriously?" You nodded.

"Thats a shame, you are very cute and it would seem like you would have one."

You practically flipped inside. You felt your face heat up. "Oh thank you." You said a shake in your voice. You sort of sucked at talking to people.

He looked over at you but you tried to not notice. "Hey you okay?" He asked. You simply nodded with a kind smile, trying not to seem rude.
