Accidentally in Love [Brett Hand x OC]

14

Rand reluctantly climbed behind the stand and placed his hand on a Godzilla DVD. "I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me Godzilla 2000." He rolled his eyes.

"Would you call yourself a good father?" Theodora paced back and forth, one hand behind her back.

"I gave you girls a roof and stellar genetics," Rand folded his arms, defensively "so, yeah, I was a good father. I even created this amazing robot to it could hug you whenever I wasn't around!"

Reagan and Theo shared a dark look before Rand continued,

"which was always..." This earned a loud gasp from the crowd, "What, people? That touchy-feely crap makes you weak. My outside the box parenting raised a girl who's strong enough to nearly murder a diplomat. And Theo... I guess."

Theo scowled, and Reagan approached Rand, "Your shitty parenting messed us up for life, and now I guess I'm broken forever!" She began to tear up and Rand must have noticed this,

"Hey, look, family is an experiment. And maybe not all my experiments are perfect." Rand shrugged, implying that he was maybe in the wrong this time.

"Woah, woah." Theo frowned, placing a hand on her hip, "I am perfect. Speak for yourself."

Rand chuckled a bit before leaving the stand, "I guess we could give this a try," He approached his daughters with outstretched arms.

"Nope." Theo shook her head, backing away. "No need."

But Reagan embraced her father awkwardly for a few seconds before punching him in the face.

"That helped." She smiled softly, looking down at her fist as Rand rubbed his face.

"Well, I've seen enough." Judge Judy spoke, "Ms. Ridley you've clearly learned some bad habits from this man. I'm surprised you don't rip everyone's arms off. But I can't just let you off the hook, so I'm sentencing you to court-ordered therapy, in the form of a traditional reptoid group hug."

Reagan's smile dropped, "Wait, what's this now?" All the reptoids surrounded her and enveloped her in a tight hug.

But before long it turned into an orgy. Theo backed away with a yelp, bumping into Brett.

"Oh, sorry." She mumbled, looking him up and down apprehensively, "Why are you naked?"

He sighed, "It's been a long night." She pat his back sympathetically, and they watch Andre and Myc join in the orgy.

As Brett's frat brothers also joined in, Brett stood, "Hey guys, wait for-" He started, before sitting down again, Theo shielding her eyes from Brett's nudity briefly. "You know what, no. I don't need to have sex with 100 strangers just to fit in."

"No, you don't." Theo reiterated. "Handjob."

Brett cringed at his nickname, and Theo only laughed, "Hey, that one's sticking around."

"Anyway, I have a new frat now, Cognito Inc." Brett said happily.

"That's sweet." Theo grinned, before yelping and backing away as a reptoid grabbed her ankle. She ended up next to Reagan, who was wringing reptoid blood out of her dress.

"Gross, gross." Theo mumbled.

"Finally something we can agree on." Reagan scowled, both girls stepping aside to be out of the reptoids' reach. Bear-o rolled up next to them, Rand sitting in the arms.

"Want a ride, girls?" He asked.

"Sure." Theo nodded the same time as Reagan did and they hopped on, Bear-o rolling them away from the madness.

It was a normal day, and Brett happily made his way to the cafeteria, hoping to catch Theodora alone, he could always do with a chat with her.

He grabbed a tray of food and searched the tables for her brunette head, spotting it at a table at the far end of the room.

As he got closer, he could see that she was already sitting with someone, which didn't bother him at all, he loved talking to new people as well. But squinting his eyes, he made out the other person to be Jasper from assassinations.

Odd, he thought to himself. He knew Reagan mentioned something about them dating before, but other than that he had never really seen them interact before.

He stood rooted to the spot, he didn't know Jasper well enough to go and join them, and normally this wouldn't stop him but the way they were sitting close and talking quietly together made him feel like an outsider.

And were they... holding hands? Brett furrowed his brows as he watched them for a moment, before ditching his lunch on a nearby table and heading to Reagan's lab.

"Reagan!" He demanded as he entered. She turned to look at him from her desk, a confused expression. "You lied!"

"Lied about what, exactly?" Reagan frowned, wondering why Brett was all worked up.

"Theo! You said she wasn't seeing anybody." Brett's brows were furrowed together nervously.

"I didn't think she was!" Reagan defended herself, "Again, like I said, she doesn't tell me these things, she doesn't respect me enough to."

"Well I just saw her with Jasper from assassinations. Holding hands!" Brett whined like a child who didn't get his way.

"Jasper from assassinations?" Reagan pondered, "Come to think of it, he did drop her home sometime last week."

"That is information I could have used before I nearly embarrassed myself!" Brett snapped, almost frightening Reagan with his sudden intensity.

"If it's any consolation, they won't last long." Reagan shrugged, indifferent, "My guess is she'll try to kill him again." Brett shuddered. "And then I guess you've got a shot."

"No, I guess I'll just have to forget it." Brett shrugged, "The bond we have is strictly friendship, I understand that now."

"I'm not sure if any bond with Theo is 'strictly friendship'." Reagan couldn't believe she was willingly talking about her sister, someone she couldn't stand. "But I mean, if you think you can be just friends with her then go ahead."

Brett swallowed nervously, "You're making me overthink this!"

"I'm sorry," Reagan sighed, "I'm not good with the advice stuff."
