Connected [ Squip x Unisex! Reader]

~[ Chapter 10 ]~

~~~~ Squip POV ~~~~

"Michael really likes you. You know that. Right, (Y/N)?"

"W-What? Yeah. As a friend..."

"No. More than friends. Which I don't agree with."

"What do you mean?! You don't agree with it?! One. He doesn't like me like that! And two! Even if we liked each other like that. It's not your place to tell me what to do!"

Those last words hurt. Why did it hurt so much? I'm just a computer... I shouldn't be able to feel like this, should I?

"I'm sorry for lashing out at you. You're just caring about me..."

"O-Oh it's fine... I can't control who you love. Your decision."

"No. I got you to make my life better. I should probably listen to you. Right?"

"You can take my advice or just ignore me. That's your choice..."

A screen appears in front of my face. "System update available."

"(Y/N). I'm going to have to leave you for a little while... I have a system update available."

They nod their head and I disappear.

~~~~ (Y/N) POV ~~~~

A screen appears in front of the Squip. He looks at it and sighs.

"(Y/N). I'm going to have to leave you for a little while... I have a system update available." 

 You nod your head and he disappears. You don't know why. But you're kind of sad to have him leave. You feel bad for what you said before... Why should you feel bad though? He's a computer... You can't love a computer, can you?

"Hey! Sorry for taking so long!" Michael says and sits down. "Hey? Is anyone home?" He says and waves his hand in front of your face.

You snap out of your thoughts and look at him. "Oh, sorry!"

"What's wrong? You look kind of sad, did something happen?"

"No! Nothing wrong." You say.

"Okay... Hey, I've been meaning to tell you this..."

You get a lump in your throat. He's going to say it. Isn't he? Fuck. What do I say?

"I really like you. (Y/N)." 

Shit. He said it. 

"You hang out with me when everyone else ignores me. But of course. You don't have to say yes... I don't want to ruin our friendship or anything." 

"M-Michael... Can I have some time to think about this?"

"Oh. Yeah. Of course! I don't want you to answer right away... Don't want it to be a heat of the moment yes or something."

"Yeah. Of course."

~~~~ Time Skip ~~~~

Michael walked you home.

It was silent most of the way.

You don't know what to do. Were you having feelings for a computer?!

"Hey. I'm sorry for springing that on you so suddenly. You don't have to say yes!" He laughs.

"H-Hey! It's fine! I-I'll think about it..." You say. Stuttering.

You finally arrive at your house. You can finally get away from this awkwardness.

"So I guess this is goodbye. At least for today." He says.

"Yeah. Uhm. Bye?"

"Haha. Yeah. Bye, (Y/N)!"

You walk inside and go upstairs to your room. Your mom was already asleep. You check the time, It's two am. Good thing it's the weekend...

You lay on your bed and pass out almost immediately.
