Work Smarter Not Harder (001 x Reader)

Bring it on

I smile.

All of a sudden 016 comes hurdling through the doors.

"Wh-"

She jumps on top of me and I fall backwards.

016: " 017! DID YOU SEE ME, DID YOU SEE ME?! WASN'T I SO COOL?!

I laugh

"Yeah 016, you were  amazing!"

She giggles and runs back into the room, bragging to the other kids.

Peter holds his hand out for me.

I smirk and pull him down.

He lands on top of me and I throw my head back as I laugh from the impact.

I hear him scoff with laughter.

I lift my head back up and our noses touch.

We stare at each other.

I didn't even realize how close his face was-

My cheeks start heating up.

016: " 017! LOOK WHAT I MA-"

I look over to see 016 staring at us.

I quickly push Peter off me.

I cough "Sorry".

Just as Peter was about to say something I walk into the room.

"what did you want to show me 016?"

She holds up a drawing of what looks like the two of us in the glass room running away from the demodog. Only the demodog just looks more like a big black blob.

She smiles "IMA HANG IT UP IN MY ROOM FOR PAPA TO SEE"

"I'm sure he'll love it" I smile.

I turn around in hopes to see Peter but he's gone.

Where did he go? I wonder.

I feel 016 grab my hand as she drags me further into the room. 

016: " come look come look"

She sits me down on the floor next to the toy bin.

016:"Watch what I can do!"

She starts flying a bunch of  toy cars around in the air.

I watch her smile as her face lights up, finding new things she can do with her abilities.

002: " please, anybody can do that, I was able to do that at three years old"

I watch as 016 drops the cars and her face saddens.

I glare at 002 and he scoffs going back to what he was doing.

I look at 016 and lift up her chin

"Hey, you can still do more than I ever could. I mean look at you, you just took down a demodog without a scratch on you!"

Her face lights back up again

016:" YEAH! I'M SO COOL"

she puts her hands on her hips and poses.

I laugh.

I wonder if this is how Peter felt when he spent time with 001.

(Time skip)

After a while, 016 went over to do her own thing.

I went back to the coloring station to add more tweaks to the planning sheet.

I feel a tap on my shoulder.

I look around to see Peter holding something out for me.

It's the strip of cloth I used to tie my hair up. The one I lost it in the demodog battle.
