 Hi guys! I'm finally out of another writing block, just got some of my exam results and they seem fine (except the fact I failed Computer Science and Geography..) All of that aside, this is a Slingshot x Reader one!! I just felt the need to write again after I left off w/ the Subspace x Reader one, so enjoy! As usual, I am not using the Y/N shit.

Slight mentions of my oc's and other phighting NPCs/phighters

You're back in Crossroads, today was a slow day- so you figured that it'd be nice to visit a friend of yours. The walk from whatever faction you were from to Crossroads was a little bit of a long way, but you couldn't care less if it was for Slingshot.

Once you arrived in Slingshot's cafe, (I'm not going to include 'Cat' in the cafe because I like to think that would be Catshot, so yeah.) you looked around and saw familiar faces from your memory, there wasn't a lot of people in the cafe, but it was understandable since not a lot of people who were active on the weekdays. Walking for a bit, you saw some phighters- there was that one batshit crazy scientist and that doctor boyfriend of his, there was also just the other employees you were familiar to you; and then there was that one duo who was always together, you think that they were called by art supplies? Like, a damn paint pallet and paintbrush, sometimes you think if they were even siblings in the first place from how different they looked from each other. (but then again, you don't have to look alike to be siblings). Other than them, there was also that high stoner vendor, the pumpkin deer, uh, ghost? lady? You don't even know.

After washing your eyes with the sight of people for a bit, you then went over to the counter to order the usual food/drinks you order. Sooner or later, you see Slingshot come from the back and walked to you once he noticed you. 

" Oh hey! Welcome, can I get ya anything, bud? " Slingshot greeted, grabbing a notepad from a nearby counter and prepared to write down your order, he was always prepared for you in case you suddenly felt like ordering a full course meal out of nowhere. 

" Could'ya get me the usual? You know me, I'm not a picky person." You replied simply, leaning against the counter slightly with a small smile. Slingshot gave a small chuckle and shook his head, he obviously had to do a lot of cooking for whatever 'usual' that was. (It depends on what you want to eat in this situation,) 

" Sure. Still can't get over the fact you eat breakfast meals in the evening. " He joked, writing down your order on the notepad with the occasional glance upwards to look at you as he wrote down the order. 

" And anything for you to drink? And don't you go and suddenly giving me a concoction that's unrelated to my forte. I don't make chemicals unlike that one guy. " Slingshot added with a chuckle as he waited for your answer. You always gave him the goofiest things to make, like that one prank for April fools where you asked for a whole jar of pickle juice as your 'drink'. (Don't worry you didn't actually drink it of course. You gave it to Shuriken since he was so confident that he could drink the whole thing without faltering.) 

" Hah, don't worry Sling. I won't pull the pickle juice trick again. But uh, just get me some water for it yeah? " You replied, and Slingshot noted that down into the notepad and then walked over to the back to start cooking up your order.

" Righty-oh! I'll get that started on, you just sit back and relax, and I'll be with your order in a jiffy. " Slingshot called out and gave an 'ok' sign before he walked into the kitchen in the back to start. You took the time to look around, admiring all the cute decorations that Slingshot had chosen. It was mostly cats and cozy based things. You walked to an empty table in the corner and then sat on the chair provided and looked around at everything that was around.

There were the phighters. Subspace and Medkit bickering like an old married couple, those two siblings who seem to be doing rock paper scissors on who should be the one to get off from their seat to grab the utensils... You know what maybe you should start refering them as the 'art supply siblings' because there are already two others in the vicinity. 

There's Boombox and Skateboard who just came in, Rocket and Sword having a cheesy date upstairs- to which you can hear all the stuff you were saying, conveniently enough. Before you could explore with your eyes or hear with your ears any further, Slingshot arrived with your order and placed it on your table. 

" There you go! Told ya I'd be done with your order in a jiffy! " Slingshot boasted, pumping a fist into the air. You roll your eyes and check the time on your phone and turned back to Slingshot with a smug smile.

" That was sure a jiffy alright. 10 minutes straight, not bad. " You quipped; Slingshot merely let out a small " oh. " And rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.

" Aw darn it! I was gonna go for 5 minutes, guess it took longer than that huh? " He replied, shrugging his shoulders before inviting himself to sit on the chair from across you as he watched you eat the food you ordered. Seeing this, you decided to tease Slingshot a little.

" Say, do you really like staring at people who eat your food? Or is it just a hobby of yours? " You mused, raising a brow and chuckling- your mouth was muffled from the food, and Slingshot merely clicked his tongue and reached a hand out to flick your forehead gently. 

" I just like seeing people enjoy my food. I'm not a weirdo or anything, and my hobby is baking, thank you very much for asking! Also, don't speak with your mouth full! " Slingshot exclaimed, puffing his cheeks and pouting. The sight was adorable for you, you just hummed and shook your head- swallowing the food first before you decided to speak. 

" Right, right. Sorry, kitty cat. " You teased, to which earned a playfully exasperated huff from Slingshot before he paused. A small silence settled in between you two before he spoke up again. 

" Say, how do you feel about hanging out with me sometime? Y'know... Outside of work. " He spoke, his tone uncharacteristically soft as he looked at you for an answer. You were eating and looked up from your food and at Slingshot the moment he asked that question. You were surprised to say the least, but it wasn't like you were going to reject his offer- you actually wanted to ask him out too. 

" ... Hang out with you outside of work? Like, a date? " You spoke after swallowing your food and tilted your head curiously as you addressed the elephant in the room. Slingshot paused, before nodding and gave a small, lopsided grin. 

" Well- It doesn't necessarily have to be a date. We can just hang out... Play games at the arcade or whatever... Your choice, really. " Slingshot added with a small awkward wave of his hand. You found this whole ordeal amusing really, so you wondered... Why not? It's worth a shot after all. You did see Slingshot as a cute guy anyways, I mean- Who wouldn't? He's got the horns that look like a cat's ears, which was pretty cute to you. You liked his style too. 

" Sure, why not? It'd be pretty fun. " You replied after a while with a shrug of your shoulders. Slingshot perked up and sat straight at your reply and he cleared his throat, trying to not look too excited at your reply. 

" Really? So uhm, it's a date? " Slingshot added sheepishly, looking at you as he threw those words out of there to test the waters. 

" It's a date, then. " 

" Awesome, want me to do a picnic? " 

" How about a barbeque? " 

" You always want those! " 

" Fair. "
