___________________________

A/N:
Forewarning, this oneshot is VERY headcanon heavy, and revolves around my interpretations of Zero, Flynn, and Sova as characters. I know they did not show up often in NIWL, but I got fixated on them awhile back and this is one of the outcomes of that hyperfixation-

If you'd like to know more about my headcanons to fully understand this oneshot for what it's worth, please my headcanon books!

Zero drummed his fingers on his leg as he stared down at the beach chair he was perched upon. He could hear the splashes and laughter of his coworkers up ahead, namely King, who Zero could hear giggling the loudest. Zero sighed, glancing up only to see King chasing Sova in the pool, rushing to splash them.

He couldn't help but laugh at the scene, especially when he saw Iris, who was relaxing on a pool float nearby, get knocked off into the water from the fuss passing him. Iris came back up a moment later, exclaiming at King, before begrudgingly charging after them and Sova. King yelped suddenly as Iris dived at them.

"Guys, be gentle to each other!" Pluto hollered from the beach chair next to Zero, lifting up their star-shaped sunglasses. "If y'all drown each other, I'm not paying for the ambulance since we're off work!"

Pluto sighed, sitting up from their comfortable position on their back, almost knocking off their purse that they had hung off the side of the chair, and turned to Zero. "I swear, if I knew they were going to be roughhousing this much, I wouldn't have brought them-"

Zero chuckled. "You act like you're a parent watching your kids at the pool."

Pluto opened his mouth to object but hesitated, cringing. "Aw, shit, I am, aren't I?" They groaned, "Oh my god, why is my job turning into glorified babysitting where I'm the one paying you guys?! I'm not even working right now!"

Zero shrugged, tapping his purple-painted nails on his legs again, giving her a sympathetic look. "I mean, you're the one who invited us all."

Pluto rolled their orange eyes. "Things have been hectic at the cafe lately." Zero could see the bags under Pluto's eyes before they pulled their sunglasses back down. "I know you've been out of work for the past month, but to be honest, things haven't exactly gotten any better yet. We all deserve a break."

Shifting in his seating position, Zero nodded, drawing his knees to his chin, his black sneakers squeaking against the plastic of the beach chair. The memories from a few weeks before he got called out of work flooded his mind again, causing him to recoil as the sudden paranoia briefly hit him all at once again.

Breathe.

The man blew a purple curl from his sight as he let out a slow breath, trying to calm his shaky exhales.
