Murder Drones Oneshots (mostly Nuzi)

'Drunk' Part 2

"Uzi?! Why am I in your room?! I was with Thad wasn't I?!" N genuinely seemed terrified (though a little flustered) after waking up and spotting Uzi on his lap. The worker grimaced, she'd forgotten about falling asleep on N, though it was arguably the best sleep she'd had in a while...

What Uzi hadn't forgotten- was everything N said. From the love confession to the compliment on her appearance. He was drunk and probably meant none of it...but it still rang through her head...she'd heard before that drunk phrases reflect sober thoughts- but didn't know if that was true.

N tried his best to hide the yellow blush on his visor, the last thing he remembered was visiting Thad for a supposed 'boys night' with a couple of male worker drones. He remembered Sam offering him a canister of something- and that was it. How the hell did he get to Uzis?

"I...What...What happened?" N asked, trying to sound calm as he took it in. Uzi was sitting on his lap rubbing at her visor for some reason.

Wait..is she crying? Did I do something to her last night?!

Subconsciously N whimpered, prompting Uzi to wipe her tears faster and face him. "It's nothing N, you got drunk and Thad brought you here, that's all" Uzi explained, sounding less upset but more disappointed.

Truth was Uzi had hoped N would remember his confession and repeat it, she wanted to record his love confession and replay it in her head constantly. The idea of him genuinely feeling that way about her made her core skip a cycle.

N noticed how down Uzi seemed, so decided to play bold and scooped her face up with his hands, sitting up straighter while smiling at her slightly smooshed visor. "What's wrong Zi?" N asked, tail wagging slightly while he kept Uzi's face in his hands.

Uzi growled but didn't attempt to pull away, N's hands felt surprisingly warm and gentle on her metal face, she still refused to explain what happened the night before though...

Noticing Uzi had no intention of revealing the truth, N pulled away and sat back on his hands, eyes to the side as he tried to ponder what could have happened to get Uzi on his lap. That's when he noticed his tail wrapped around her... had he...pulled her up?

"What happened after we got here?" N asked, nervously leaning back up, he'd just noticed that his clothes had been changed as well...

To his surprise Uzi turned purple, turning her head from N and mumbling something. She couldn't seem to look her best friend in the eyes. "I brought you up here to sleep, helped you get in pyjamas, and you pulled me onto your lap" Uzi fibbed, trying not to think about N's love confession.

N was slightly unconvinced that's all that happened, but shrugged his shoulders and yawned, fangs on full display as he adjusted his seating. "Thanks for taking care of me- I don't think I ever want to drink diesel again.." N admitted, sounding a little anxious still.

Uzi sighed before smiling slightly, she slid off N reluctantly and walked towards her cupboard. She rifled for a minute before revealing 3 canisters of spare worker drone oil, not wanting diesel to be the only thing in N's system. N dusted himself off and went to stand beside her, trying not to blush at everything that had happened.

She fell asleep on me- we slept together- she didn't mind it...

A part of the night before replayed in N's head, specifically the part where Thad told him that being drunk made you brave, that's why N took the can. Now Uzi was acting funny...did he say something while drunk?

While N pondered this Uzi handed him a canister of oil and avoided his gaze.

Yeah I definitely said something, hope she's not offended.

N tried to remember going to Uzi's house, but his mind was completely blank, nothing after being giving the diesel. Uzi drank a canister of oil herself and turned back to N "Can I do a system diagnostic analysis? I want to make sure you're okay- you do have to remove the shirt".

The disassembly drone went bright yellow at the idea of being nude in front of Uzi, but remembered that he was in different clothes before, so she had already seen him naked...and didn't seem to think it was a big deal. Huh...was he supposed to be upset or happy about that? Upset she didn't think his body was special or happy she didn't mind looking at him?

Realising he'd been ignoring Uzi, N quickly nodded and sat back on Uzi's bed, removing the shirt and allowing Uzi to open a hatch on his side. "Diesel sometimes can damage wiring, that's why we can't drink too much in one go, not sure if disassembly drones get it worse or better" Uzi explained, fiddling with N's nervous system.

N tried his best not to overheat as Uzi sat as close as possible, head under N's arm as she analysed the state of his system, he couldn't see from his angle- but Uzi was blushing even more than him. A mixture of excitement and embarrassment displayed on her visor as she tried to ignore her memory of last night.

"Your biological parts are kinda warm, but the wiring is okay, I don't know much about human flesh but drinking extra oil should cool everything down" Uzi chirped, happy N wasn't damaged too bad. "How much did you drink last night?" She asked, wondering if disassembly drones were more or less likely to get drunk than workers.

N thought back "I think around 4 canisters, Thad had way more but was fine, I'm probably just not used to it". As N forced himself to remember boys night a few more memories of getting to Uzi's revealed themselves. He recalled laying on her sofa, her pulling her to the bedroom, him saying something that made her blush-

-wait! That's got to be the thing that upset her!

Desperately N tried to think more on what happened once he reached Uzi's room, but she distracted him by handing over some oil, smiling softly like she normally did when she took care of him. Uzi played tough but always seemed to enjoy getting a chance to be sweet to N.

The idea made N smile, and he gratefully drank the oil while Uzi watched, wondering if he'd ever remember what he said- or if it would be another secret she had to keep. A part of her didn't think she could manage that...she'd explode if left to wonder about this for much longer...so she might as well just ask.

"Hey N?" Uzi started, sounding nervous yet interested.

"Yes Zi?" N asked, tail wagging slightly as the oil cooled him down.

"Do you love me?" Uzi asked quick, failing to intimidate confidence.

N went bright yellow, visor completely coated as the memories all came back at once, he confessed he loved Uzi.

I confessed I loved Uzi!

N stammered, trying to find the words, but his blush was a good enough answer for Uzi- who now went purple upon realising it was sincere. Not just a drunk mishap.

Uzi looked away and barked "Sh-Shut up! Bite me! I- I think you're corny and dumb!"

"I- I'm sorry!" N pleaded, taking her insults seriously.

"DON'T APOLOGISE THAT JUST MAKES YOU MORE CUTE!" Uzi yelled back.

"I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT FROM ME!!"
