This is like 1000 words btw lmao
————————————————————————————
Y/N enters a restaurant, IC-0N floats out as a cube but not before Y/N grabs her, hiding her behind their back.
"Be right with you sugar! take your pick."
A woman says, down the restaurant. she seemed to be a waiter.
"Thanks! we're- I mean- I'm just here for the restroom... if you don't mind."
Y/N says, walking to the nearest booth and setting down IC-0N in her cube form on the table.
"...listen. Watch for agents, lay low and stay in that form. We're in, and out."
Y/N says, their tone becoming serious.
"....What's a restroom?"
IC-0N says, a clueless smile plastered on her face.
"...yeah... I'd rather not be responsible for that. How about, NOT a place for your murderous tendencies to fuel your god complex, however if you do... keep it in the opposite direction."
Y/N says, a little annoyed/ticked off.
"Omnipotence doesn't exactly do exceptions yknow...."
IC-0N mutters in a slightly sassy tone, looking away.
"And yet it's going to. funny how that works huh?"
Y/N uses a finger to flip the cube over so it faces the wall. they get up and began walking to the restroom.
"Hmph!"
IC-0N lets out a breath of annoyance, she faces up and notices a menu on the small metal rack that held the salt and pepper. she notices two specific items... eggs and bacon...
she remembers a moment for earlier that day, when they were in the middle of the desert. Y/N was sitting, using a stick to draw something in the sand.
"What's that?"
IC-0N asks, pointing at Y/N's drawing in the sand.
"hm.. they're sunny side up eggs... I miss em. I've had nothing but these dry protein bars for far too long."
Y/N says, sighing and looking at the half bitten protein bar in their other hand.
"I ALSO assimilate matter to support my near density and self replication!!"
IC-0N says proudly, pointing at herself with her longer arm/hair/claw things, and her normal arms on her hips.
"we.. we basically just said the same thing!"
Y/N exclaims, smiling.
"...Really?"
IC-0N asks, seeming curious.
"Uh actually.. yeah.. kinda, I guess. guess we're not so different after a-"
Y/N says, being cut off at the end of his sentence by IC-0N
"IT'S LIKE YOUR PATHETIC LIVESTOCK FATTENING YOURSELF FOR WHEN I CONSUME YOUR MOLECULES!! Haha..."
IC-0N shouts loudly and proudly.
"..."
"...aaaaaand the moment is gone."
Y/N says, now annoyed. they go back to drawing in the sand with the stick.
IC-0N takes immediate notice, feeling bad. she turns around, starting to form an egg in her hands. for Y/N. it goes horribly wrong as the egg turns dark and bloody, it slowly starts cracking but before it can hatch she smashes it, a startled expression on her face.
she wipes off her hands and walks back over to Y/N sitting down next to them.
"I cannot synthesize sunny-side up eggs."
She says, sounding down and sad.
"Sure, because that's where your unnatural powers come to a halt. That's good though, it's not like we need an unpredictable murder machine like you capable of making life, not like I would trust eggs made by you anyway."
Y/N says, seeming less annoyed with her but still pretty upset with her unpredictable behavior.
The words seem to hit IC-0N hard, she stares down at the sand sadly.
"..."
"...sooo.. you've never had eggs before huh?..."
Y/N says, now seeming to feel guilt for making IC-0N feel bad, they wanted to cheer her up.
IC-0N looks from the sand back up at Y/N, blinking and still having the sad expression.
"Maybe... we could get them for you some time... I uh.. know it's kinda stupid and cliche but.. you can.. sometimes even make em with bacon..."
Y/N says, starting to draw piece of bacon underneath the drawing of the two eggs.
IC-0N scoots next to Y/N, resting her head on his arm and gently holding on with her own hand.
Y/N starts sweating a little, they stutter
"K-Kinda like this!..."
They say, finishing the drawing of the bacon. the two eggs with the bacon underneath kinda looked like a.. face.
IC-0N's eyes scan over the sand drawing.
"Meat Face."
She says.
"Yeah well, I'd never call it that. Here check this out... Add a little hot sauce or something and..."
Y/N draws spiked teeth onto the bacon and X shapes on the egg eyes, making the sand drawing look like icon's face.
"...God Face."
IC-0N says, now smiling. she looks back up at Y/N and her blush appears, along with a flustered frown.
"You know how cringe trying to bond with me over this menial thing is right?"
she says.
"I know you can make faces with objects, I'm still going to reduce you to atoms the minute this problematic power dynamic is over."
she adds on, sounding slightly annoyed.
"Yeah well one of us just murdered 4 people in front of the other and it wasn't the one at least TRYING to make this whole thing bearable."
Y/N responds back to IC-0N now slightly upset with her again.
"You've practically kidnapped me and haven't even told me what we're doing!! What about this is BEARABLE?!!"
She quickly responds back, now a little mad.
"Your fantasy Stockholm bullshit.."
She mutters, looking away with a big frown.
"...You're right. I shouldn't have said anything. we gotta keep moving."
Y/N says, flinging the stick away and standing. They stand and pick up their bike.
IC-0N snaps out of the flashback.
