Murder Drones Oneshots (mostly Nuzi)

The back of the bus (Nuzi)

The bus ride back from camp was taking longer than planned due to some ice puncturing the front left wheel. All students were advised to stay on board while the teacher and bus driver attempted to patch up the hole.

Lizzy groaned and decided to practice selfie taking with V, Thad and some of the other boys started playing catch together with a basketball he brought for some reason, and the other non dead students were chatting or playing music. The closer you got to the back of the bus however, the more interesting the activities were.

Most couples seemed to have claimed the back few rows in order to make out or just curl up on each other. N and Uzi had unintentionally sat in the 2nd to last row, meaning they were currently surrounded by a handful of either horny or corny students.

N hadn't realised how obvious all these drones were until the teacher got off. At least Uzi had fallen asleep and wouldn't throw up at the sight of Melody and Henry practically hooking up in the row behind them. N was pretty close to throwing up himself though.

In her sleep Uzi had tried to reach out for N's hand, but he pulled away, and was now pondering what Uzi could have meant by that...did she like him? No way- she probably was just having a scary dream after everything that went wrong today. She'd probably punch N if she woke up and he was holding her hand.

It was better this way. They made good friends- great friends! Dating would make it so much more complicated...though a part of N did wonder if that risk was worth taking.

No! Terrible idea- horrible idea!

Uzi shuffled slightly in her sleep, leaning as far into him as she could, N couldn't help but smile slightly at Uzi's curled up figure. She had somehow managed to wrap herself into a ball around half her usual size, making Uzi appear the size of an average drone toddler. It was honestly pretty adorable.

"Mmm....N" Uzi mumbled in her sleep, hand once again reaching up toward N, who was shaking as her hand slowly reached around him- searching for something to grasp. N blushed yellow when Uzi's hand settled for lying on his leg, gripping slightly to the end of his coat.

Holy- okay N- it's not that big of a deal...

N tried to convince himself this didn't mean anything when V showed up, looking noticeably frustrated- which only increased when she noticed how Uzi seemed to almost be on top of N. How obvious would Uzi have to be before N noticed?

"Just letting you know Lizzy's spreading the rumour I ate those guys, Uzi is in the clear" V insisted, sounding proud of herself but also annoyed, she was not looking forward to the amount of upset parents that would blame her.

As N was going to thank V for taking the hit, Uzi shuffled again, now almost putting her head in N's lap. At the same time a few of the other back row members started kissing intensely, making the situation even more suspicious, V couldn't help but snicker slightly.

N's visor was completely yellow as he tried to justify the situation "Uzi probably just wants some comfort after everything- it doesn't mean anything!" As N argued Uzi tightened her grip on N's coat and used her other hand to reach for his again. Obviously that wasn't helping.

"What did you expect? You sat at the back~ that's perfect for stupid romance tropes!" V snickered, a small part of her was jealous of Uzi being so close to N, but the rest of her was glad they seemed happy together. V cared for N..but wasn't sure if it could ever count as love, meanwhile it was obvious Uzi was more than capable of loving N.

Sighing, N decided to admit defeat and allowed Uzi to hold his hand, making her sniffle a bit in her sleep. "I don't know what to do" he admitted, watching as his sleeping friend curled (somehow) even closer.

V smiled sympathetically and stepped forward, petting N's head patronisingly "Aw poor puppy, are you scared of making the kitty angy~? Don't worry she won't scratch you".

N tried to give V side eye but couldn't help snickering slightly, she was being annoying but in a sibling way, frustrating but tolerable in the name of peace. "Seriously though N, Uzi really cares about you, maybe let yourself be the one receiving love for once" V sweetly said, just in time for the teacher to come back on board.

Without another word V walked away, N watched as her tail seemed to fall, implying some part of that conversation had upset her. While he wanted to comfort her and apologise for whatever he got wrong, he couldn't move due to a certain someone nuzzling even further into his lap, practically in it at this point.

Unable to stop himself, N found his mind going back to what V said, specifically 'let yourself be the one receiving love for once'.

Was Uzi trying to show she loved him? In a platonic or romantic way? How was he supposed to feel about that...?

The bus started moving again making the couples calm down, regular conversation ensued again and nobody seemed to mind what had happened before. The trip back to the bunker had only been delayed by  an hour max, everyone (that Uzi didn't eat) would get home safe and roughly on time.

As the bus returned to the ice path, N used his free hand to loosely stroke Uzi's hair, making the girl mumble again. Once again it was definitely N's name, but she seemed happier and more pleased while saying it. Satisfied in her dream.

N smiled, he was unable to look away from her sweet expression, Uzi was beautiful. He'd never really noticed in detail before how nice she looked. She was also still the nicest drone he'd ever met...

Maybe I should hold her hand more often...
