Box O Bounce (Caboose x Reader)

“Who ordered all of these boxes?” Washington asked. You and Caboose were silently giggling as you two watched Wash trying to figure out what was inside of the boxes. “Dude, why the fuck are you yelling? I thought it was the Reds bickering.” Tucker groans.

“Where are Y/n and Caboose?” Wash asked. “How should I know? Those two haven’t been around much and I actually like the quiet.” Tucker says yawning. “You know how they are. You’ve known them longer than I have, and Y/n was helping the Meta because they thought it was fun.” Wash says.

You grinned at the comment then looked to Caboose. “I need you to help me carry our balls so we can play.” You whispered. Caboose, who didn’t have his helmet on, had a brighten expression knowing that he was going to help.

You proceeded to take an express route from the hiding spot and end up behind the boxes hearing the conversation. “Are you positive you don’t know where they are, Tucker?” Wash asks. “Of course I’m sure. I’ve been asleep for most of the morning before your shouting woke me up.” Tucker replies.

You jump out and tackle Tucker while giggling. “I’ve got you now!” You said starting your distraction for Caboose. “WHAT. THE. FUCK! Y/n!?” Tucker yelled. Wash tries to pry you off but you continued to instead pull Wash down and onto Tucker. “Y/n, let us go now!” Wash says.

You smiled but shook your head. “I want to see you guys together. I’ve already gotten Simmons and Grif together. Besides, this is fun.” You said. “Its not fun for us! You’d have to be crazy to push people into relationships.” Tucker says.

“Where’s Caboose Y/n?” Wash asked. “He’s helping me. We’re just having fun.” You said. A few minutes later, you heard the voice of your helper. “I finished. Can I help with Agent Washingtub and Tucker now?” He asked. You shook your head. “We need to go set it up now.” You said letting them go. Sighs of relief escaped their mouths as you and Caboose left to set up the bouncy balls.

Wash and Tucker get up and watch in confusion. “What the fuck just happened? Are we seriously going to let those idiots do whatever they’re doing?” Tucker asks annoyed. “Calm down. Caboose wouldn’t be that smart to think of this. It has to of been Y/n's idea.” Wash says.

Meanwhile, you and Caboose started to open the boxes and filled each bucket with the bouncy balls. You even had to stop Caboose from eating one because he thought it was a berry. But once it was done, you both went ahead and got everyone together. The Reds were groaning but you got them to come while Caboose brought Wash, Carolina, and Tucker.

“I thought you said you needed us? You have your team here.” Simmons pointed out. You smiled and looked to Caboose. He nods and you follow him slowly away from everyone. “What are you planning, blue?” Sarge asked. “I want to know as well. Y/n, what are you planning?” Wash asks.

“Its fun. Nothing to worry about. Right Caboose?” You asked. He nods. “Y/n and I made a fun thing for everybody. Except for us.” Caboose says. Carolina sighs. “You really think we’ll fall for that? Last week you two whip creamed us. What’s it this time?” she asked.

“Excuse you. I enjoyed the whipped cream.” Grif said. “Fat ass.” Simmons mutters. “Just give it up Y/n. You’re lucky we kept you around because you keep Caboose occupied and away from us.” Tucker said. “That’s mean. I will pull the button now Y/n.” Caboose says.

“WAIT-” You started. Too late, all of the buckets released the thousands of bouncy balls the two of you ordered online. Everyone is pelted by them. “Goddammit! This is why we can’t trust them.” Grif says trying to protect his head. “Its not like you’re the only one. Several bruised my forehead. It took so long to get it perfect.” Donut whines.

While everyone was busy, Caboose scooped you up and away to the hiding spot. “There. You are safe now.” Caboose says patting your head. “Thanks Caboose. Let’s just wait this out to next week and hope they don’t kill us.” You said. Caboose smiles and tosses you something.

Catching it, it was a blue and f/c bouncy ball. You smile while looking up to him. His face beamed and all you did was pat the spot next to you. He proceeds to sit down and wrap his arms around you. “You are the best person.” He says softly. Leaning your head onto his, your smile widened. “You too Caboose. You too.” You said back.
