Mochi Miles x Reader ~(fluff)~

Surprise Visits

Your POV:

I sighed and sat down on the steps to Mochi's Manor, feeling exhausted.
*Having to control those tarr slimes was so annoying, how did that dervish plort even get in here?! Let alone into the mosaic-tangle largo's corral!*
I thought to myself, mumbling curses and glaring at the ground. Suddenly, I heard soft footsteps behind me.
*Mochi?*
I turned around to see Mochi Miles walking towards me with the same cocky expression she always wore.
"Ah- hey Mochi! Whatcha doing here? It's pretty late, isn't it?"
I said, perking up a little.
"I just wanted to visi- er- see what you did with the place. This is strictly business, I'm not your friend or anything."
Mochi stumbled over her words a little but immediately regained composure.
"So, are you going to move out of the way so I can get to the Manor?"
Mochi said, glaring a little. I realized I was still sitting on the steps and stood up and moved after uttering a quick apology. The moonlight shined brightly, making the Manor seem tranquil. Me and Mochi walked side by side through the manor as she "inspected the place". One of my drones floated by, carrying puddle plorts to the silo and Mochi looked at it in awe.
"Pretty cool, huh?"
I said, smirking at her childish demeanor.
"I-It's whatever, I guess it's kind of cool."
Mochi said, shaking her head and going back to her usual cocky smirk. I shook my head and laughed a little, earning a sideways glare from Mochi as she huffed and wakes ahead of me.
Mochi stopped in front of the golden slime lamp and admired it subtly, gently tapping the glass and smiling ever so slightly at the cute golden slime that moved around the lamp slowly and with a big adorable smile on it's face. I walked up next to Mochi and quietly said
"It's really pretty, isn't it? Then again, I kind of wonder if that's a real slime that's aware that it's been captured..."
Mochi looked at me sideways with a confused look on her delicate features
"What?..."
Mochi said, probably regretting visiting me.
"Ahah- nothing, it's nothing! Anyway, what do you think?"
I nervously smiled and awaited her reply impatiently, fidgeting with the end of my shirt a little. Mochi turned to me and had a cocky smirk on her face, as expected
"I think you didn't do too bad! I would've done better, obviously, but you fixed this place up pretty well."
She said, uncertainty and hesitation filling her usually confident and matter-of-fact voice. I knew she was lying, she didn't think she would've done better, I could see it in her eyes that she was in awe of what I turned the bland Manor expansion into, but she would never admit it so I kept my mouth shut.
"Hm.. well, Mochi, what would YOU have done?"
I said teasingly, poking her shoulder and smirking. Mochi looked at me for a moment and hesitated before saying
"You know- I would've like- put- uhm"
*Got her*
I thought, laughing uncontrollably.
"Hey! Don't laugh!"
Mochi annoyedly snapped at me, gently punching my shoulder and turning away, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Alright fine, I won't laugh- but seriously, what would you have done?"
I said, taking a deep breathe to stop myself from laughing and I looked over at her earnestly. Mochi was silent for a few moments, probably thinking of a response. After what felt like an eternity she opened her mouth and quietly said.
"Honestly? Nothing.."
I laughed a little and ruffled her ponytail, Mochi smacked my hand away from her hair in annoyance
"Yeah yeah, laugh it up."
Mochi said, glaring daggers at me. I just apologized through my laughter. After a few seconds Mochi huffed and started walking away- I stopped laughing and grabbed her hand
"Hey, wait!"
Mochi stopped suddenly, a light pink dusting her face- was she blushing?
"What do you want?"
Mochi asked, yanking her hand away from me
"Listen, I'm sorry for laughing- promise to visit me again soon?"
I said quietly, looking into her eyes and pouting ever slightly. Mochi looked flustered and just nodded swiftly
"Yeah, I-I'll visit you again if I feel like it."
She said, putting her hand on the back of her neck and looking away from me. I laughed a little and ran off to my Teleporter
"Well then, bye Mochi! I'll see you later!"
I caught Mochi waving goodbye as I teleported back to my ranch. I shook off the shock from teleporting and walked back to my house, settling down and checking my starmail, Ogden asking how I've been, Viktor telling me about a new experiment, and that was it. With nothing left to do and being totally worn out from dealing with tarr slimes all day I sunk into my bed and hugged my phosphor plushie, slowly drifting off to sleep.
*I wonder if Mochi likes me more than she's letting up..*
I thought, smiling as I dozed off.

A/N : sorry this is kind of a short chapter, I'm not good at story intros- but hopefully the next chapters will go better. Let me know what you thought of this and give feedback (both positive and negative are appreciated, just be polite :]) and I'll see ya next time- bye, fellow simps
