(Megaman 11) Blastman x reader

Chp. 4

-Reader's Dream (Reader's P.o.v)-
I sat up, waking to a dimly lit forest, reminiscent of stereotypical forests in movies. I picked myself up, and started walking forward. As I passed through, ignoring the wildlife scurrying away from my presence, I came across a cliff. I walked to the edge, crouched down, and peered over seeing a never ending darkness in the pit. As I was about to get up, the arm supporting my weighty crashed downward, along with the section of cliff I was on. I tried to grab onto something as I screamed, and miraculously grabbed onto the a root sticking out of the ground. I tried to pull myself up, but stopped as soon as I noticed the root becoming more and more lose at my efforts. I yelled one final time, as I felt my fingers start to slip. My eyes closed, as I expected to fall, but instead a pair of hands grabbed onto my forearms. I tried to see who, but I couldn't open my eyes quick enough before I woke up.
-Reality( still reader's P.O.V)-
I shot upwards, breathing sharply as I attempted to calm myself down. What was that all about? Ugh, I might as well check the time...

3:59 am

Ughhh. I sighed as I threw myself back towards the bed. Annoyed, I got in a comfortable position and attempted to go back to sleep. Keyword: attempted. I tossed and turned for about an hour before I gave up. Well If I cant sleep, I'll just do some commissions. Reluctantly, I rose up from my bed and got dressed. I brushed my hair and my teeth and went straight downstairs. I entered the kitchen, thankful for deciding to put on socks as the thought of the cold surface entered my mind, and poured myself some f/d to start with.
After I filled a cup with the stuff, I entered my office and turned on the lights. I planted myself at the desk, put the cup down besides my computer, and examined my tasks for today.Oh, nothing new? Well that makes today a little easier. I grabbed out my unfinished commissions, as I got to work. I was doing great for about an hour, until there was a massive amount of notifications making my phone blare from upstairs. I groaned as I pulled myself away, dragging myself to see the notifications. I picked up my phone only to see....
231 new emails,
26 notifications from socials ,
And 15 spam messages and phone calls.
I growled at my phone, and I internally threw it at the wall. I would have thrown it at the actual wall, but I can afford it. Also I haven't got a case for this one yet. I went back to my office as I checked everything. All the emails were from the spam folder, all the social notifs were comments and likes on old stuff, and the spam messages and phone calls were pointless to check. I sat back at the desk, as I checked the time one final time before I entered my flow.
5:34 am
Well, I better hope this takes all day or else I'm gonna be sitting around wondering what to do all day.
-6 hours later-
And I'm.... done. And it's only 12. Damn it, now I gotta do something else. Ugh. I feel sleepy though, hmm. You know what? I'm gonna take a nap. I exited the office, entered my living room and threw myself at the pale F/c couch. I yanked the decorative s/f/c blanket I had placed on the couch to myself, and got all settled. As I was about to drift off into rest, I was shot upwards by an unexpected knocking at the door. I mumbled to myself as I walked over to the window to see who it was. Why, out of all the days of this month, was today the one picked for this?! I swear this is-!
I looked out to see Blastman, standing there. Just waiting. I stared back, questioning myself. Did he say he was coming back tomorrow or did I just forget? Wait, I gotta answer the door...
I turned the door knob, seeing Blast smile at me," Hey Y/N, how are you?"

"I'm.... fine. What are you doing?"
"Just seeing if you wanted to hang out again."
"Well.... sure . Um, what do you want to do?"
He gave me a questioning look with a hint of concern for a second," Hey, are you ok Y/n? You don't look so good.."
" It's been a long morning... to say the least."
" Well, I can leave you alone if yo-."
" No, it's ok. You're fine Blast."
He stayed silent for a second, looking at the ground. He then sighed ,in what seemed like defeat, before he responded," Ok then. So what do you want to do then?"
I felt a shiver go up my spine, as a gust of wind puffed by. Like a reminder from the cold outside that we're still in the cold months." I don't know, but first let's go inside. I'm kinda cold."
Blast nodded, although he looked slightly concerned still. Does he think I'm sick or something? We went to the living room, or more like I led us to it. He kinda just followed me, silently. It kinda freaked me out if I'm going to be completely honest. We both sat down on the couch, as I grabbed my blanket and wrapped it around myself. Blast watched as I did this and said," We could watch a movie, if you want."
A movie? Well, I guess that could be nice, even though we did the same thing yesterday . I just have to make sure I don't fall asleep...
"Sure, what kind do you want to watch?"
Blast chuckled a little," How about you choose, seeing as you're the one who had a rough start this morning."
"No you can choos-."
"Y/n, you can choose. I choose a movie last night when we all went to the grinch."
Jeez, either he watches a lot of movies or this is just a fluke.A spark of curiosity ignited in my head." What are your brothers like Blast?"
He gave me a questioning glance," Why?"
" You've brought them up a few times, and I'm kinda curious if I'm going to be honest."
He sighed," Well, if I'm going to be technical here, we aren't REALLY brothers. But we treat each other as if we really were from a mother. So there's Acidman,Fuseman,Blockman,Torchman,Tundraman, Bounceman, and Impactman."
I nodded, smiling a little," Sounds like it must be really chaotic."
He snickered mischievously," I'm kinda the one to cause chaos. It's really funny, especially when I got Fuse to literally blow a fuse."
" What did you do?"
Blastman looked like he had just been asked to brag about his greatest achievement, as he said," Ok, so if you've seen him-actually wait a sec."
He opened his wrist, and pulled out a phone.( I'm pretending this happens, like they have little mini compartments in their forearms, although it doesn't canonically. So yeah 👌) He handed it towards me, as I grabbed it. On the screen, there was a yellow and black armored person trying to block themselves from the camera. I laughed at the picture a little, as I handed it back to him. He put it back in his wrist as he continued," Ok, so now that you've seen what he looks like, I can tell you what I did.  One day, when we were at the store, someone told him he looked like a bunny, causing most of us to laugh while Fuse was trying not to lose it! When we got home, I decided to set up a little prank. When he would go offline I would go and make him look even more like a bunny, and I would also place a small bomb on his nightstand, seeing as he uses an alarm clock and such, and fill it with sparkles. So it seemed like it was a spell or something. All went to plan as we all woke up to Fuse screaming insanely loud! While we were all trying to calm him down, he for real blew a fuse as he suddenly fell to the ground!"
He was laughing his head off, as I giggled at the story," Was he ok afterwards?"
Blast nodded as he stopped laughing," Yeah, but he was paranoid for the rest of the week!"
I smiled. I let out a small yawn, as my eyes dropped as little." How late did you stay up last night?"
I chuckled," Actually, it's how early I woke up."
He looked at me, the concern returning to his face," What exactly happened?"
I mumbled, but loud enough for Blast to hear," Well, I had a weird dream causing me to wake up at like, three in the morning. I tried to go back to sleep, but it was no use, so I went to finish some commissions. As I was really deep in my flow, my phone started going off as if someone was trying to reach me desperately, but when I checked it was all useless notifications. So I'm kinda sleepy..."
Blast asked in a questioning tone," You got your phone back? Why didn't you-?"
" No, I went and got a new one last night, sorry for not specifying.Why didn't I What?"
He shrugged it off," Nothing, Nothing at all."
I shrugged as well," Ok then."
There was an awkward silence for what felt like forever. During that silence, I yawned again. I heard a snicker from the other side," Y/n, I can just leave if you want to take a nap."
I grabbed the remote and turned on the tv," Nah I'm good."
I heard my phone go off, as the couch lifted a little." I'll go get it."
"But you don't know where it is."
" I can listen for it."
" Fine, but don't go through it."
" and why is that?"
" Because I haven't set a password yet and I don't want you going through my shiz."
He yelled jokingly" Dang it, I don't get to snoop!"
I laughed at his remark before he went to get the phone. He came back within a few minutes, as he handed me the phone. He sat back down next to me, grabbing me and pulling my body towards him.
" W-What are you-?"
" You need to sleep, and I'm gonna hold you down until you sleep."
I felt my face redden. I shook it off as I accepted my fate, although normally I would protest profusely,"Well, atleast you're warm."
He snickered at that, as we started to watch the tv. The news was on, so the boring drone of the reporters voices didn't help me stay awake. Soon enough I fell asleep, but before I did I heard Blast chuckle quietly," Knew it."
-1 hour later-
I woke up, feeling an arm resting on my side and someone's head on top of mine. I looked up, or atleast tried, to see Blast's helmet slide a little as he was sleeping. Or atleast I think he was, wait, earlier he said his brother went "offline"... is that sleeping for them? His head rose a little, as his eyes opened to meet mine. He sat upright as he said," Sorry about that."
"Nah, you're fine. But your helm-."
" Let me guess, it's about to fall off?"
I did the kinda hand motion, as he chuckled," it always does that when I go offline anywhere but my room."
I looked back at the tv, as it started to report today's news when all of a sudden.
"Breaking News, another victim has been found from this newfound murderer. This would be the third victim in this psychopath's killing spree. This time it was a male in their early teens, and guessing from their state, the murder took place yesterday. There were multiple stab wounds in the victims torso. The police have enlisted the help of multiple sources in the investigation of this murder. For now the police advise for citizens to keep your houses locked up tight at night. Now onto our commercial break."
I sat there, baffled.Why has there been this many murders lately?I felt a hand rub my back. I turned my head to face Blast," Why?"
" I don't know why, and I hope they get caught. If not I'll catch them myself."
I looked at him," Blast, I don't want you to get hurt."
He laughed loudly, borderline mockingly, at my comment," They can't take me down. Nobody can, and if they so happen to come across me..."
He chuckled darkly, not finishing his sentence.
I looked at the carpet, as the sunlight coming in from the window dimmed a little. I mumbled," Oh dear."
He tilted his head," What did you say?"
I shook my head,"Nothing. Hey, let me check my phone."
I picked it up, seeing a new message pop up. I opened it to see it came from my mother. I read it, not noticing Blast peering over my shoulder.
"Hey y/n, how are you? Haven't talked to you much lately and I just saw the news. Just wanna make sure you're ok."
I texted back, hoping I didn't accidentally scare her too bad." Yeah, I'm fine. The worst that happened was getting mugged by some random person in an alleyway. I also made a friend recently."
I heard a snicker right next to my ear, causing me to jolt a little. I turned to see him trying not to laugh, causing me to turn away. He responded" What? I didn't do anything."
I stuck my tongue out at him in a joking manner, as I felt my phone vibrate. I turned back to look at the new message."Oh really? That's great! The friend part not the mugging. Do you have a pic of them?"
I turned to Blast again, seeing that he was staring at the window. I asked," Hey, is it ok if I take a pic with you?"
He immediately gave me a questioning smirk as he responded," What's the occasion?"
I ignored the snarkiness of the comment, and replied," my mom just wants to see what you look like."
He snickered," Sureee. That's totally the reason."
I aimed my camera at us on my phone as we took a picture together. I thought it looked pretty good, as I turned to show Blast. He nodded and gave me a thumbs up in response. I sent it to my mom,not knowing what to expect in response "Is that a robot? And if so, how?"
I responded back, not knowing if she approved or was questioning the situation "Um...just because? Yes, he is a robot. What does that have to do with anything?"
Immediately I got a text in response,"Y/n, how do you know it's a 'he'? I thought robots didn't have genders."
I felt my face burst as I texted back rushedly,"MOM!!!!WHY?!?"
She responded back,"Hey, don't yell at me young lady!"
I threw my phone at the pillow on the other side of the couch as I covered my face. As I was yelling into another pillow, I felt something brush my arm, causing me to remove the pillow to see. I saw Blastman 's arm grab my phone. I tried to snatch it back, as I yelled," HEY! Give it back!"
He snickered as he read the text messages," Not until I see what- OH MY GOD."
He dropped the phone as he burst into laughter. I hid myself in my blanket as he tried to speak," Why would she even imply that!"
I yelled in response through my blanket," I DONT KNOW WHY!!"
He finally stopped as he took the blanket from me, making eye contact with me. I looked away hurriedly as he just chuckled. He let go of the blanket as he snickered," how do you know it's a he. Holy crap."
After a solid five minutes, Blast asked," y/n, are you ever going to come out from there?"
I didn't respond as I was fearing my voice would waver. Suddenly with no warning, the safe haven was ripped from me. I quickly covered my face with my hands, as Blast snickered. He grabbed my hands, as he pulled them away from my face," it's been five minutes, you can't still be flustered about it."
I refused to look at him, still embarrassed as all hell.I SHOULDNT be embarrassed about my mom implying that?!? Does he even fully realize what she was saying?! He let go of my hands as he sat down next to me. I tried to calm down, as I felt my face cool. A ringer sounded, as Blast got out his phone." Hello? Oh, hey Torch. I'm just hanging out with y/n. Remember? The person who I hung out with yesterday? Yeah. Ok, I'll make sure. Well bye."
He put his phone back in his wrist, as I questioned," What's up?"
He responded," I just gotta be back at 5. Apparently we all gotta have our systems updated."
I nodded, pretending to understand," Ok."
He continued," Its so Dr.Wily doesn't hack us again, especially after last time."
I gave him a reassuring smile," He's in jail, and I'm sure he's not getting out soon."
He shrugged," just in case that grandpa gets out though."
We sat in silence once again. A random question popped into my head," Hey, Blast?"
He responded," Yes?"
"Do you guys have hair?"
He looked away in what seemed to be embarrassment, " Some of us, but I don't like showing people mine."
I whined," Aww, but now I'm really curious."
" Maybe.... some other time."
I nodded, reluctantly." Ok.."
The news came back on, as it started to repeat the same report. I felt a sense of fear creep in, as I looked away from the tv. Blast seemed to notice this as he grabbed the remote and turned it off. He turned to me and said," Don't worry, if they come to get you, you could just text me and I'll be there."
"But won't you be a little late, considering it could be anytime, anyplace, anywhere...."
He sighed," Just... Don't worry about it, ok?"
I nodded, as he gave me a smile." Good, now what do you want to do?"
" Honestly, I'm still tired."
" Are you just saying that because you want me to hold you again?~" He teased as I got my blanket from the ground.
I ignored him, wrapping myself back into the blankets. I heard him snicker before a pillow hit me. I turned to see him armed with a pillow and a playful smile, as I responded," You just started a war."
-1 hour later-
We both played there on the ground, feathers everywhere. Two pillows lying empty beside us. Neither of us won, but neither of us lost. We were laughing at the outcome. We both had gone to hit each other, and ended up breaking the pillows. Blast got up, brushing himself off,"I better get going, gotta make it back in time."
I nodded, as I got up as well. I followed him to the door, the light that had once filled the house, vanishing as night began to fall. He opened the door to leave, walking through it. He turned and wave as he began walking away," See you later y/n!"
" Bye Blast!"
I closed the door, going back to the scene of the pillow fight to clean up the feathers. I managed to get most of them off the ground, as I went to throw them and the broken pillows in there garbage. As I was going to the living room to clean that area up, my phone dinged, giving me a heads up that I got a message. Contemplating whether or not I should respond, I slowly reached for the phone. I expected to see my mothers name contact pop up, but instead I saw "Blast" in the contact name area. The text read,"I'm surprised you didn't ask about how you would text me earlier 😜"
I immediately responded," WHAT ELSE DID YOU DO ON MY PHONE?!?"
"Haha calm down, I only added my number to your phone. I also snuck a look at your number as well."
I sighed in relief,"Thank god, if you had gone through my photos I would have been pissed."
" Nah, I wouldn't do that unless you were somewhat ok with it."
"Ok, well don't you have a thing you have to do?"
"Yeah, but I came in when everyone else was already lined up, so I have some time to kill."
" Ahhh, ok 👌 "
There was a long period of time before I got another message," So, are you doing anything tomorrow?"
I responded" No, I have a day off tomorrow because I finished a lot of my commissions today."
" Would you like to meet my bros? They're kinda saying you're fake, especially Tundra."
I snickered, sure this could be fun." Yeah sure! Also, does he think I'm some sort of chat bot?"
"Yeah pretty much, but I think he's jealous that I can actually have a conversation with someone without giving off the wrong vibe."
" is he a flirt or something?"
" he's kinda a hopeless ro "
" What? You kinda cut yourself off."
" he's an awesome brother, way cooler than me. Like you should totallly stop faking that your real."
I burst into laughter as soon as I got the message," omfg 🤣"
" Got my phone back, yeah. Um I think I might have bombed Tinders pride. "
" I think your phone autocorrected tundra to tinder."
" Nope, it didn't. For real, I see him on it a lot. It's kinda funny messing with his phone."
" Holy crap dude."
" So do you wanna meet up at the park downtown at 1 ish?"
" Yeah, sure."
" Ok then! Good night, and actually sleep please"
" haha, I'll try. Nite"
I look at the top of my screen before I shut it off, seeing that it was 6ish. My stomach then roared, as it reminded me that all I had today was a cup of f/d. I went over to the kitchen and got out some f/f(favorite food). I demolished it within seconds as my eyes began to be droopy again. Well, might as well go to sleep early. Tomorrow might be crazy. I dragged myself upstairs as I changed into my pajamas. I laid on my bed, staring at the ceiling. I hope they don't hate me, cause holy hell would that be bad. Also, Blast seemed a little off today, now that I think about it... Meh, who knows? Could have just been a coincidence. Another thing, why is he so grabby? Does he know about personal space? Or is it another thing? Hmm... well I better take his advice and actually get some sleep tonight.
I closed my eyes, as I fell asleep.
