[Open] Adventure Forward X Reader One-shots

[Romantic] Galleria x Clerical

Requested by thefand0m_writer
Crazy this was even requested because of our roleplay (which is probably a long time ago given this request has been in the backseat for so long) that got them involved

I am well aware was requested ages ago but only now did I have the proper time and focus to actually write it... So, uh, yeah. Enjoy! (Better late than never???)
==========================================================================

"I've heard from Verfection that they put a new painting in the museum... Well Galleria can't stop me from seeing it. I'll just avoid the main lobby so I don't get sued again." Clerical said to themselves, wandering the halls of artwork.

The place seemed quiet, only the sounds of bully bots roaming around. Clerical could hear Galleria's voice in the lobby from a hallway. "Careful with that! Oh dear, these pillars are so unstable... You bully bots should stop jumping on those!"

Clerical shook their head. "Those pillars are so old and unstable that the shard saviour once almost got a concussion from one falling over." They scoffed, "To even have the audacity to sue me for being blind."

"Don't jump there! Oh no! I'll get you!" The voice spoke in panic then a loud thud came after. Clerical gets worried as they rush to the main lobby, forgetting what they came in for.

"Galleria? Galleria!" They call out, seeing Galleria stuck under a fallen pillar. The other point seems startled from the sudden voice, only to look at Clerical with their symbol dimming.

"What are you doing here? I told you never to come here." They say weakly, attempting to move the pillar off of them. Clerical moves closer to help them only to be shoved away. "Get away! I don't need your help."

Clerical paused, kneeling in front of them. "Don't you need help to carry this pillar off of you? I'm a healer, I can't turn away from an injured point."

"I can handle myself. Do me a favor and get out of my dimension, you already caused me enough trouble." They scoffed.

"Well, Verfection wanted me to see their latest artwork, so blame them for my appearance today. And you don't look like you could move this off of you," Clerical calmly explained, adjusting their glasses. They extend their hand towards Galleria. "So please, let me help."

They hesitated for a moment, looking at them with a blank expression. "... Fine." Galleria muttered as they reached to grab Clerical's hand. They pull them away from the pillar, moving them aside before rolling the fallen pillar elsewhere.

Silence fills the room, Clerical stares at Galleria as if waiting for something. They look back with confusion. "What?" They said, and the other didn't reply. "Don't just stare at me, tell me what's going on in your head."

"... Are you not going to thank me for helping you?" Clerical finally spoke, their voice low and quiet. "What? Why would I thank you, I banned you from this place! You're not supposed to be here."

Clerical crossed their arms, shaking their head as they turned away. "I doubt you could even move that pillar on your own... And Shard Saviour isn't around to help you. So ungrateful."

"You- I..." They fell silent as the other point headed to one of the hallways. "Wait!" Galleria called out to them, "Verfection's painting is in the west hall. You'll know it's there when you see  some bully bots staring at it, they do that to new paintings."

Clerical stops and turns to look at Galleria. "Well thanks. Though I recommend you get yourself new pillars, or remove them altogether."

"They've been here since the early days of this place, I can't just remove them. They're a part of my home." They admitted.

"Then, the lobby will remain hazardous. You remember when the Shard Saviour almost fell with one of those pillars... If that vent wasn't there for them to jump to, then it could've been a bigger problem."

Galleria pondered for a moment, "But... Who could even help me with these pillars, to replace them? I don't really know any point that specializes in this."

"Oh I know someone, I'll ask them to come here tomorrow." They offered, "How about that?"

Galleria hesitated for a moment before nodding. "I suppose that will be appreciated. Thank you Clerical..."

"There we go, you do know how to thank people!" They said, their symbol flickering in amusement.

"Oh shut up." Galleria crossed their arms, turning away from Clerical. The other point soon vanishes into the hallway, and they are left alone in the main lobby.

"They're... They're not so bad." They muttered to themselves. "Maybe I should have been nicer, they did try their best during the reality shatter... Right, because they didn't have their glasses. Whatever, but I hope they come around tomorrow."

Galleria quickly shook their head. "What am I saying? They're banned from being here, they don't usually go here... But why do I want to see them more?"

They sit on the ground, the bully bots surround the point as they think in silence. Confused about their feelings about Clerical, perhaps they could forget their dislike over the healer. Only time will tell, and maybe it'll be something more.
