The Broken Thread (Tko x Male reader)

chapter 4

===========Meanwhile============
(Y/n) pov)

Fink and I stood around a circle of broken bots. This is the 7 time we attacked these bots. How much longer until we're finished?

My arms were screaming at me in pain. It felt like my arms were on fire. I took a deep breath and stood up straight.

The door opened with the professor walking through holding a tablet. A smile across his lips Darrel followed behind him with two water bottles on a metal tray.

I grabbed a water and tossing it to fink before opening the other one.

"It's impressive how you're able to strain to fight with your hoodie," Professor venomous said, "wouldn't you feel better if you took it off."

I coughed on the water. Fink pat my back to help. I cleared my throat before screwing the cap back on.

"Uhm I'm fine with it on," I replied.

Fink rolled her eyes as we walked out of the battle room. Professor venomous went to talk to Mother while fink and I walked to her room.

This place wreaked of rested metal and oil. Robots walking around holding wooden boxes.

This place reminded me of a less clean version of a toy factory. Like one that got abandoned and replaced with this.

Honestly it was just sad.

As fink and I walked I thought of the card. I pulled it out looking at it. This card small and thin like a business card with the shiny hero print on top.

"(N/n) what do you want from the snack counter?," Fink asked, I stopped.

What did she just call me? I looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

"(N/n)?," I asked.

She chuckled, "yep it's a weirder way of saying your name I thought it was funny."

Wow that hit straight through the ego. Making fun of my name? Was my looks not good enough?

I put the card back in my pocket before anyone noticed the card in my hand. I shook my head.

"Grab me some (f/s) (favorite snack) I'll meet you in your room," I said before walking to one of the bathroom.

I pulled off my hoodie my shirt going with it. I looked up at my skin. Many of my scars opened up and bleeding. Shit.

I opened the medicine cabinet to finding rubbing alcohol and makeup cotton wipes things...

Anyways I opened the bottle and pressed the cotton thing on the bottle before pressing it to one of my scars.

Damn this stings like a bitch. I continued until my scars were closed. Fucking finally. I slipped my shirt and hoodie back.

I walked out making sure to hide the evidence of me being there. I walked down the narrow hall pass the robots rooms.

Darrell's door had his name in a cowboy hat sign, I honestly thought they were joking when they said Darrell likes cowboys.

Which would explain why he acts like a five-year-old 90% precent of the time.

Shannon had a crown with her name in it. Talk about an egotist I knew Shannon liked herself but I didn't think she thought she was queen of Boxmore.

Raymond just the letter R with a rose on top. Real original Raymond doesn't look boring, basic, and tacky all the same time.

Fink's door just had keep out written in sharpie on the sign. The door looked beaten up like someone hit it with a hammer multiple times.

God I guess consoles aren't the only thing fink breaks. I opened Fink's door and walked in.

"Yo I'm back," I said, stepping inside. Fink turned her head.

"Sit down (n/n)," she replied before turning her head back to her head.

Ah Venus' fly trap. It's basically an action adventure type game.

I sat down and saw (f/s) sitting on the mini table. I pulled it in my lap and watched Fink play while eating.

She was getting through the levels quickly causing me to think of other things. TV shows, playlist, etc. Then I thought of the dynamic duo aka hedgehog and paintbrush.

They're definitely twins but it's odd how one acts like a ball of sunshine and the other acts like every emo boy from the early 2000s.

Its clear hedgehog doesn't like me. So making his brother trust me would make him pissed so why not.

I looked at the time. I'VE BEEN SITTING HERE FOR 3 HOURS?! Oh shit I gotta go home.

"See ya fink," I said, she waved with her hand continuing to beat the game.

I rolled my eyes and left. I grabbed my bag that was by the door and walked out to the limo. I sat in my seat staring at my phone.

"(Y/n)."

Shit I'm in trouble.

What did I do?, I didn't skip school or training, I only took toast from the house, was I too late to the limo?, Did She See The Card?!, oh god.

I swallowed the lump in my throat and turned my head playing it off cool.

"Yes mother?," I asked, completely calm. In reality I've been trying to tell myself not to panic.

"Because of my partner ship with Boxmore I need to go back to Heltra for my equipment you'll be left in the house for two weeks," She said, looking out the window.

"Okay mother," I said, she nodded and I went back to my phone.

"You won't be going out until I return the only exception is school," she added. WHAT?!

I bit my tongue and kept my mouth shut. I sighed mentally.

"Okay mother," I replied, she nodded and I went to my phone.

You gotta be kidding me I'm stuck at home with no Fink for two fucking weeks! This is so gonna mess up my plans with...

Wait mother won't be here during the weekend. It's not like she has security cameras around the house.

Only thing mother can track is my phone and laptop. Easy I leave for the event during the weekend and come back before sundown.

It's that simple nothing can go wrong.
