No

NO!

This is probably the best worst day of your life.
You got into a car crash. With no one to help you. So you were cold, exhausted and hungry. And you feel like an absolute failure. Also you're covered in acid. Because acid rain exists.

It all started with you having a strange craving for corn cereal. And you had none left in the cupboard
So you decided to go get some.

You had to go at night. Because you were too busy.
Busy procrastinating, anyway. So you start getting ready.

You wanted to make a checklist of all the stuff you have to buy. You question why you have to buy shampoo.
The real question is why you haven't bought anything before your craving for corn.

While gathering your stuff and looking for your keys, a radio plays. "This is a extremely urgent matter. Because of the acid rain and drought, the world food supply is becoming more and more scarce each day. With the rate of people consuming the goods, we estimate..." The radio died down before you can hear the final statement.

You finish packing up and start the car hop in.

While you were on your way to the grocery store, you accidentally ran over a robot kitten.

That exploded.

That's right. Exploding Kittens were being sold by a man in a porridge costume.

"For sale! Imploding Kittens! They make black holes!"

Apparently, it was the most backed up project on Kickstarter, and now almost everyone has heard of them except you.

So here you are. In the rain. At night. Alone.

After your car has exploded.
Surprisingly enough, the car wasn't utterly destroyed. The front part of the car was dangling. The battery died. And there was no-one there to help you.

You try to kickstart the car. When you turn the key, you silently pray that it would work.

"Please, please, please..."

Nothing.

You go outside with your tool kit and realize that you aren't going anywhere with this much damage.

It was raining acid. Hard, you were tired, hungry, damp and cold. Not to mention your skin was burning

After about 10 fruitless attempts at repairing the engine, you spot a light from far away. When it finally got to you, you see it was a giant RV with a broken boat on top.

A silhouette came out of the vehicle.

"Oh dear! You poor thing!" An elderly lady said while getting out of the van.
"You must be cold! Trying to fix that car of yours, I don't think you have the proper tools for that..." she smiled, offering you a towel. "I'm Seal by the way. This is my family, the Flex Seal family of Products!" She showed you around the RV. Everyone inside gave you a great smile. You felt nice and warm. Seeing these people accept a total stranger who needed help.

"That's Shot. He is perfect for those hard to reach areas, he is also very accurate, and did I mention he stops when you want him to stop, so you won't have to nag him. Thank God for that." Then she pointed at the front seat. The driver waved at you.

You then let out a small sneeze. Then you heard someone chuckle.

"We are very good handymen. You can rely on us. Especially my grandchild! My, they must be the best at fixing things!" Seal said excitedly.

"Foamazing! Get this person cleaned up! Block! Give this person a towel! We will fix the car afterward." Seal called out. A child scrambled to the back door while a younger woman took your hand and lead you to sink. Blcok gave you a towel.

After washing up, you come to the cabin to find Seal. She was sitting comfortably on her chair. while someone else was with her.

Might you add they were quite tall and...attractive.

Please don't tell me this is the person fixing my car.

"Well Tape? Are you not going to show our guest how to fix the car?" She gently tapped their fingers. Tape nodded and went to you, and stuck out their hand.

"Name's Tape, Flex Tape."

I CAN'T SHAKE THEIR HAND MY HANDS ARE SWEATY

You left out a soft giggle before shaking their hand anyway. "(Y/N)."

My god, their grip is strong.

"Well? Hurry then! We don't want you to be stranded!" Seal stood up from her chair and pushed us out of the door, slightly laughing.

Outside, while Tape was patching up your car, you hand them tools while making small talk. So you won't make yourself useless.

"So...do you mind telling me what exactly happened?" They flashed a smirk. It made your heart skip a beat. "Uh-I" You scratch the back of your head while your ears turn a deep shade of red. In your head, you really want to show this person whos boss, so you decide to stand up for yourself. But then the idea died in your head because this was the person fixing you car, you do not want to get stranded. "I ran over an exploding kitten..." You whispered while scratching the back of your head.

Tape let out a laugh. "Really now. I won't judge. Did you run over a tree?"

"An Exploding Kitten really." You finally admitted.

Tape gave you a look. "Did it turn into a black hole?"

You shook your head. "It didn't implode. Thank god for that."

Tape just continued fixing your car with a smile on their face. While you go inside the RV to take nap.

——————————————————————

"It's done, (Y/N)!" They rushed into the room admitted proudly. You jolted up from the bed.

"Jesus, how ling was I out?" You asked, rubbing your eyes.

Tape gave a shrug. "About five minutes at most."
You blinked. Hard. "Are you telling me you fixed my car in less than ten minutes?"

They just gave you a stupid goofy smile.

The door opened again. Showing Seal and Shot. "My grandchild likes you by the way!" Seal said while popping her head out of door way. Shot nodded quickly and gave two thumbs up. Tape began to turn red. "Grandma..." They complained. You just held back a snicker while all this was happening. You continue to eat the snicker. You were snickering while eating a snicker.

"Yes I want to go out with you." Tape said. Trying to hide their face in the process. "Do you want to go?"

A/N
This is sorta different from my writing style and seemed like an actual fic, I might remake it to be more ridiculous later. Then again, I laughed my a*ss of while writing this.
