~**The Core Of My World**Wheatley X Reader**Portal 2**~

~Chapter 2~

"H-hey! Wakey wakey, love!" A voice... British? Sounds like somebody you've heard on tv before... no no, that must be a mistake. Your eyes opened for a second, only to be met with glaring light. It took a moment of fluttering your eyes to adjust. And finally see the voice... the owner was... a blond. In a grey suit, a blue circle on the suit. A kind of bar was on his left side, twisting over his back onto the right side, then down and back. Making a kind of square. And black boots. His eyes were a bright, glowing blue. Like sapphires...! He sported glasses, and a friendly smile.

"You have a few bruises from falling, I was walking here, then BOOM! You fell on some blue jump gel! You also may have brain damage." He spoke. A bumbling moron.

"Agh- yeah... I was in a field with my sister... and I fell..." you weren't scared. If this kind man was down here, you had to be safe.

"Mhm- well if you can speak, you clearly DO NOT have brain damage. PERFECT!" He smiled. You, a hopeless romantic immediately loved that smile.

"How can I get out of here?" You asked, sitting up and facing the squatting man. The building you were in was mainly white tiles, some glass was on your left side. Grass and vines had grown over it. Making it very hard to look through. It was like a hall. Grass and plants peeked between tiles. Fighting to reach the light so faint in the ceiling. Behind you, an odd, futuristic elevator looking contraption.

"You want to leave? Oh of course you'd want to leave, love. You said you have a sister? Does she have your (H/C) hair? I admit it's very charming." He smiled, raising his eyebrows as he said charming to show emphasis. 

"Uh- yeah I'd like to get back to her."

"Well, I, Wheatley, can guide you!" He stood up and reached out his hand, which you quickly took. Standing.

"You know where we are?" You asked.

"This is Aperture. Been closed for AAAAAGES. I can't get out unless I go through HER chamber. So... i need YOU to help me." Wheatley chirped, so happily.

"Okay. We both benefit either way." You hesitantly agree.

Wheatley put his hand on your shoulder,

"No need to worry, because suddenly, Wheatley is here to guide you! Standing beside you!" He gave a thumbs up.

"Now isn't the time for musical numbers." You scoffed, pushing his hand off you.

"Okay, Okay you have a point.... hm. Well... let's start with the elevator. Behind you, love," Wheatley gently took your arm and slowly turned you to face it.

With a Solemn nod, you stepped forward and into the tube shaped elevator.

"Erm- it may be a little tight." Wheatley nervously chuckled, stepping in. The two of you were stuck close. You remained silent as the elevator went. But Wheatley had other ideas. He looked to you, then to the wall, then you, then down, and he twiddled his thumbs. And so on.

'Jeez, is Wheatley always this fidgety?' You thought, looking at him. The whoosh Of air as the elevator dropped down was the only sound as you focused on his eyes. The gentle glow, the blue shade. So mesmerizing, so beautiful... and the way he looked down. So interested in the small things about his own hands....- but he was a stranger. And feeling that way, and noticing those things about a stranger is weird as hell.

He looked up slightly jerkily, then turned his head to face you. Making eye contact with you. The bright blue making contact with your gentle (E/C) eyes. 

A moment. A mere moment.

That awkward as hell second lasted a moment. A tiny moment.

"Need something love? We're almost there." Wheatley reassured. A paranormal blue glazing his cheeks similar to a human blush. He was clearly some kind of bio-engineered human.

The glowing eyes gave it away.

"I'm- I'm fine. Sorry I was spacing out at something in the elevator shaft next to your head." You lied, facing forward, and away from Wheatley.

He kept his soft, worrying blue eyes on you for a second.

"Alright, love. Tell me if something is wrong." He hummed, smiling. Over the bridge of his nose, and his cheeks dusted with a stormcloak blue.

The elevator came to a stop. Revealing just another long hallway. Some white tiles were replaced with metal pads.

"We're here!" Wheatley hummed.

Ah shit here we go.
