Childish Love | HUMAN! SPONGEBOB X READER |

Chapter 1

"Ugh Trace is so annoying!" The teenager complains continuously, not even caring to see how I'm doing.
"Mhm" I Boredly nod, looking at the black watch on my wrist, the time showing
8:30 PM.
Of course Mr.Kabs sent me to take care of his daughter Pearl, she's very self-centered and loud.
But, he's my new boss, how could I say no?
I recently got a job at the Krusty Krab a few days ago, my first shift starts tomorrow so I have to be on my best behavior.
Though I only get payed $10 an hour..
I'm so excited to work there, I've loved their Krabby Patties since I was a kid; sometimes I went there just to visit Mr.Kabs.
"Like why is he so happy all the time? It gets annoying!" Pearl babbles on about Trace, AKA SpongeBoy (His nickname)
"Yeah" I sigh under my breath and close my eyes 'Kabs better be paying me for this'
I actually really like Trace, he's so adorable and Innocent, his cheerfulness Is what keeps me motivated everyday... And hearing Pearl constantly complain about him really just ticks me off.
"I'm hoome" Mr.Kabs opens the front door and yells in a cheerful tone.
I quickly jump up and smile "Oh, look at the time, I should head home" I head towards the door and grab my shoes.
"Bye Y/N!" Pearl says before complaining to her father about something.
I put my F/C shoes on and grab my F/C Hoodie from the coat rack, happily sighing.
"See you tomorrow Y/N" My boss says to me just before I Close the door, leaving him and his loud daughter.
The cold air hits my skin, giving me the shivers while I put my hood on to cover my S/C Ears.
The winter, my favorite time of the year; don't get me wrong though, the cold does bother me too I just really love how the snow looks, the fact that there's not much bugs and wild animals makes me feel safe when wandering around outside.
My house is next to Trace's, I moved there since it's the most open spot in bikini bottom, not too much people or too little.. plus it's near the Krusty Krab.
I walk down the road with my hands hiding in my pockets, the air turning to mist with every breath.
"Y/N!" Someone yells from behind me, the snow on the ground crunching from their footsteps.
"Hm?" I turn around with a smile, my eyes quickly noticing a boy with yellow hair, freckles, a tooth gap, blue eyes, wearing a white shirt and red tye 'n brown shorts..
my friend Trace.
He's running towards me with a huge grin, his arm waving around in the air.
"Oh, hey Trace" I wave back to him, my smile widening; soon catching up to me.
"I just got off cleaning duty" He kindly smiles and looks over at me, his cute dimples showing.
We both walk on the side of the road, not much people driving this late at night.
We live on a smallish island with only 2 restaurants, Krusty Krab and the Chum Bucket.
I like Plankton, he's pretty cool with his eye patch, green emo hair and dark clothes, he's pretty mellow when he's not trying to steal the Krabby formula.
He's shorter than me too, which is awesome because I'm always known as the short one.
//Sorry if your tall xD just go with the flow//
"Sweet" I look at him, chuckling softly as he takes out his bottle of bubbles, along with the pink straw thing.
"Do you wanna go bird catching tomorrow?" He blows a bubble while smiling.
"Sure, after I finish work though" the sun isn't visible anymore, the moon the only source of light.
"Oh yeah! It's your first day tomorrow" He grins and does a little hop "I can't wait, we can be work buddy's!"
"Heh, yeah" I ruffle his hair and smile, he looks back at me an innocent smile.
Me and Solward //Squidward// get along fine, I help him with his art and music, not caring about how bad he is. I mean at least he's trying and putting as much work as he can into it.
Patrick is pretty cool, he's lazy. Like me. And supportive, though it's not much help from his lack of knowledge.
Sandy and I have an ok relationship, she's always trying to make Trace lose weight and fight though, which I don't understand why he needs too. 
Spongeboy was given to him when he was in kindergarten, kids made fun of him for being weak and for having yellow hair, put those together and you get a sponge.
I feel bad for him, being stuck with a name like that, known as the weak one.. he doesn't seem to be bothered by it at all though.
"I'll see you tomorrow.. work buddy" He points to me and winks jokingly.
"Okay, buddy" I wink back to him, making us both laugh.
We enter our homes and do the usual, put Pajamas on, feed our pet, sleep and wait for the sun to rise.
