Alien A**holes (Tallest x reader)

34. Allies?

Purple had finally woken up, whining and complaining about a rough headache he'd develop during his moment of unconsciousness. I had pulled him up off the floor and managed to settle him on the pilot chair.

Red also held concern for his fellow traitor, placing a hand on his back at a reluctant speed whilst taking his hand in the other. In response, Purple seemed to recoil a little, having an inner conflict with himself regarding how he should handle the interaction.

There was something telling him to pull away, yet he still appeared to be comfortable with the approach Red was taking. Then a glance toward me finally hammered in his resolve and he fully shuffled out of Reds grip, much to the latters dismay and hurt.

I attempted to search compartments of the ship for any necessities that could help. I had opened small cabinets and draws, locating the whereabouts of a small device that appeared to be vaguely familiar. I held it in my hands, flipping it over a few times until Red finally decided to interviene, taking the device from me with a quick "that'll do".

He held the device toward purple, triggering a very familiar system.

Blue grids ascended and descended down the walls, forming the silhouettes of objects and furniture all within the small escape pod. Red locked th mechanism and everything that was once a grid became solid mass. Red approached one of the new cabinets, pulling out what appeared to be pain killers. They were small pills with white irken symbols dotting them, and though I wasn't entirely sure what the words said, I trusted that Red knew what he was doing.

Still, I was curious about other aspects to this information.

"Was that a-"

"Species requirement chamber? Yup" Red interrupted, looking toward me quickly before bringing his attention back to purple, who was watching the interaction with interest.

I watched him approach his friend, handing him the pills and walking towards another machine in the room. The machine itself was purple in colour, a darker tone than the colour I usually saw the irken in.

It had pink highlights on some of the mechanisms, along with a number of disposable cups. Red took one of these and pushed one of the buttons after slowly pushing it underneath the machine.

"Is that a fucking shmoothy dispenser?" I questioned, watching the liquid pour into the container until it was full.

The drink was soon handed to purple, allowing him to full down the pills and the delicious beverage with little fuss. Niether irken responded to my question, one too busy drinking his shmoothy, whilst the other was a tad distracted by getting his own drink from the dispenser.

"You mean, I could've had a snack dispenser in my room, all this time!? And my stupid brain didn't think to require it!?!" I continued despite the lack of interest from any of my company, fully prepared to rant regardless of whether they cared or not.

"Shut up, Y/n." Spoke an annoyed Red, taking me off gaurd and making me freeze in my tracks.

"Did...did you just use my name?" I spoke, slowly angling my head in his direction "like....my actual name?"

Red seemed to take notice of the slip and immediately attempted to correct himself, once again saying "shut up" to me whilst emphasising the word "human" every time he begins to address me.

So obviously I'm gonna keep shoving it in his face.

"Haha admit it you like me now!" I pointed at him, doing minor dance movements with my hands amidst his aggressive protesting.

I continuously kept doing silly dances whilst Red was clumsily attempting to correct himself and rebuke any of my claims regarding me actually growing on him, which was generally a pretty funny experience.
