[BEING REWRITTEN]A Malfunction? (Bonnie x Reader)

Chapter 11: Love Protocols

Key:
Y/n = your name
L/n= last name
Y/d/n = your dad's name

"Hi...." you say.

Both your dad and Des stare at you with wide eyes so you give a little awkward wave.

"What. The. Hell. Are you doing here?" your dad asks.

"...I-I-I, uh, I, um...fell asleep."

It is true sooo...

"You fell asleep...."

Slowly, you nod with a forced smile. Your dad sighs and facepalms.

"Y/n......" he says.

"I-I know..."

"Do you want to stop doing this?"

"No!! It's not the work, it's just the weather, you know, flu season?" you exclaim.

"Isn't that more reason to stay home?"

"No, because then I'll give into it fully. I have to keep busy."

Your dad exhales harshly through his nose.

"Dad, I want to keep doing this. I'm fine. I'm not even tired, or anything."

Your dad sighs again.

"Maybe I can assist if you're so persistent about working," Des speaks up.

Your dad looks at him with a 'good idea' face while you have a 'don't do it' face.

"That really isn't necessary Des, though I appreciate the offer," you say.

"Nonsense. At least until you adapt more properly," he says.

"I said I'm okay," you spit, not wanting to be babied.

"Y/n! I was once told by someone that you shouldn't push help away." Your dad crosses his arms.

But the help that you gave them all was because they couldn't do it themselves due to exhaustion. You are perfectly fine. All these thoughts beg to be let out and said loud as can be but you suppress them down.

"Now, Des, if you would be so kind and help y/n here with the clean-up, it would be appreciated," your dad says.

His focus never leaves you. He never looks over at Des. He just stares you down.

"Of course." Des smiles at you.

You don't return it.

~~~~~~~~~~

"Good! Now that, that has been solved we can all go our merry ways." Your dad claps his hands together.

"Are there any tests today?" you ask.

Something in you told you to say that, just to be sure.

"No. We don't do the tests on Fridays."

"Then I can stay with Bonnie?"

Your dad blinks a couple of times and you just stare back, making it clear that you aren't joking.

"You don't wanna go home after being here for so long?"

"Nope."

You smile at him and his eyes narrow slightly. He merely stares – deep in thought – before groaning.

"Fiiiiine," he says, "go."

"Thanks! Love ya dad!" You spin on your heels to leave.

You do, however, catch a glimpse of Des's face. He looks pissed to put it lightly. A mixture of that and what seems to be shock or disgust at your decision. You don't care though and happily make your way back to Bonnie's room to give him a surprise.
