Mike Schmidt x Reader (Abbys babysitter)

Babysitting

I love this fanart of Abby painting Mikes nails by @pummelsaturday on twitter

*s/n = Stuffie name*

After Mike left, Abby doesn't say anything or even look at you; She just sit down on the floor, in front of the television, drawing away. You decide to sit down on the floor beside her, but not to close, giving her, her space as to not hovering over her.

"Well, we made a deal." You say to her after a few seconds, grabbing your stuffed animal from your bag and bringing it to her. She suddenly perks up and looks over at it, "Why is it all smushed and gray?" Abby asks you in a sassy tone "Well, he is 23 years old" You respond, assuming she doesn't care about him all that much until she asks you, "What's his name?" She reaches for a new crayon "It's s/n" You answer with a smile, glad that you found something to talk about.

All of a sudden she holds up a page with a drawing of s/n and his name written on top. "Woah, you are quite the artist. This is amazing and you did it so quickly! Thank you, I'm sure s/n appreciates the portrait." Abby looks up at you with a puzzled expression on her face before quietly asking, "What's a portrait?"

This gives you another idea for conversation. You could teach her elements of art and help her use them! "It's an art term for a drawing or painting of someone, but it is usually just someones shoulders and up. I learned about those in art school." This makes Abby drop her crayon and actually turn to face you, "You went to school for art? ...Could you draw with me?" She asks quietly, almost embarassed to be interest in talking to you.

"Of course, if you eat your dinner first" You respond and she whines, "Fine"

2 hours pass by, as you and Abby eat then draw together; Teaching her about demensions, lines, colours, form, space, shading, texture, and value.

"I'm going to go do the dishes while you finish your fuzzy cube." She giggles and nods so, you head to the kitchen and begin to scrub the dishes in the sink. You don't want Mike to think you aren't doing anything.

You leap out of you skin as the landline begins to ring; You wipe your hands on a hand towel and start walking to the phone, but Abby has walked over aswell. "It's probably Mike, he gets so worried about me, it's annoying" Abby states, crossing her arms, but you think it's sweet. "That just means he loves you." You say to her before picking up the landline off the wall.

"Hello?" Mike says in a tired voice from the other side of the line, "How is Abby?" Abby reaches for the phone, jumping on the spot, which makes you giggle, "She's right here." You say to Mike before handing Abby the landline, to which she eagerly grabs it. "You didn't tell me that Y/n could draw, Mikey! And they have a stuffie like mine, but older."

You freeze up in embarrassment; you didn't think Abby would tell Mike that you still carry around your childhood plushie like an anxious, childish idiot! You mentally facepalm, then Abby hands you back the landline. She had been twirling the cord around her hand so it took a second.

"Thanks for getting her to eat, she seems to really like you." Mike says, sounding as if he was half asleep "..So you can draw.. and you have-" Mike was about to tease you, but you hung up the landline and sighed, rubbing your forehead.

You look down to realize that Abby has ran off so, you check the living room and she isn't there. Then, you knock on her bedrom door; Hearing no answer, you open the door, but she is nowhere in sight. "Shit, shit, where is she! Calm down, she is probably just in the washroom" You think to yourself so, you knock on the bathroom door... no answer. You open the door and she isn't there...

Sorry the chapter is 2 days late, I've had a lot of shit going on, but I should be back on top of it.

How would you guys like Reader and Mike to get together/like each other?

I have my own ideas, but if anyone has things they'd like to see, I'd love to add it to the story!
