Can Bob Come Out to Play? SMG4 Bob X Reader

Thanks for Being There

No angst in this chapter, unlike the last 3 chapters. Just platonic fluff.

Bob's POV:

I woke up the next day. My eyelashes felt sticky when I opened my eyes because I cried last night. (Do they even have eyelashes?)

I looked around and saw Y/N. They fell asleep too. "How did they manage to even sleep here?" I thought to myself. But that didn't matter right now. I just wanted to be grateful that they were still my friend. I was pretty sure that 99% of the world population hated me for what I did.

I slowly walked by Y/N and sat by them. I wanted to playfully bite their arm to wake them up, but I was scared that I would actually hurt them and then they'll be mad at me too. My fangs are almost as sharp as my swords.

Soon enough, Y/N woke up. "Hey, bro." they yawned. "Hey, Y/N." I sighed. "I just wanted to say. Thank you for trying to help me out even though I was a jerk to you." Y/N smiled. "Anytime Bob. You feeling any better?" 

"A little..." I answered. "You...can go home if you want..." Y/N looked at me. "Personally, you don't seem to be in your best mental state, and for your own safety, I'd rather stay with you until you fully recover. Last night was something. You were really upset."

I nodded. "I know I know." I then remembered how they comforted me last night. The way they sang me to sleep, affirmed me, and brushed my hair with their hand. I really liked it. It felt nice. My hair was still messy from them petting me. Visible tufts of violet hair left the elastic of my ponytail and stuck out of my hood.

"I don't think I told you, or anyone this, but I really like it when others pet my head. This may sound awkward, but can you do that more often to me? I don't know why, but it's really comforting."

"Sure, if you like it." Y/N smiled at me. I held onto my hood, as if I was gonna pull it off my head. "Like, now?" I nodded determinedly, making a ">:3" face.

I pulled my hood all the way down, revealing my soft, violet hair. Taking the elastic out, I flopped down on Y/N's lap. "Pet me!" I giggled. They put their hand on my head and grazed my head softly. I felt so happy and safe. I nuzzled them playfully. Y/N smiled and pet me more. I sighed gently as their warm hand brushed my hair.

A few minutes later, I looked up and realised Y/N had paused to check a notification on their phone. I smacked them playfully with my sleeve. "Keep petting me!" I whined. "Geez, you're so needy." Y/N laughed. They put their phone down and started playing with my hair again.

They wrapped their arm around me and held me closer to them as they played with my hair. "It's good to see you happy again." they laughed. "Thanks." I sighed, letting them pet me more. I didn't want this to end. It felt so warm and comforting.
