Treasure (Jim Hawkins x Reader)

•

Y/n noticed Jim's sudden stillness, and started to get worried. Had they been found? She slowly raises her gun and waits for Jim's next move. He slowly moved towards the source of the noise, the air was thick with silence. All of a sudden, a rustic robot jumped out of nowhere, scaring both Jim and Y/n. "Oh this is fantastic!" The robot said as he pines Jim to the ground, Y/n aimed her gun at the robot. "A carbon-based life from here to recuse me at last! Oh I just wanna hold ya and squeeze ya, and hold you close to me!" He hugged Jim tightly. Y/n lowered the gun slightly, but still kept her finger on the trigger.

"Alright enough!" Jim managed to get out of the seemingly friendly robot's grasp. "I've been alone for so long! I mean don't get me wrong, solitude is fine, but after a hundred years, you go a little nuts!!!" The robot laughs. "Oh how rude of me, my name is...uhh, my name is...what was it again?" Y/n and Jim looked at each other confused. "Oh! B.E.N! Bioelectronic Navigator! And you are?" B.E.N asks. "Uh Jim." Jim says. "Y/n." Said Y/n. "Ah nice to meet you Jimmy and (nick name)." Jim rolls his eyes. "Look, we're both in a hurry. I need to find us a place to hide. They're pirates chasing us."

"Pirates!? Oh, don't get me started on pirates! I don't like them at all, I remember Captain Flint! That guy had such a temper!" Jim and Y/n both stopped in their tracks. "You knew Captain Flint?" Y/n asks. "Then you know about the treasure!" Jim says excitedly. "Treasure?" B.E.N tilts his head. "Flint's trove, the loot of a thousand worlds!" The gears in B.E.N's head started to turn, well as best they could that is. He tried to think up anything he could, but nothing would click. Soon he started to glitch and spasm. "B.E.N? Hey!" Jim slaps some sense into him. "And you are?" B.E.N asks. "Wait, what about the treasure?" Jim asks. "Heh, sorry, I've lost my mind! Literally!" B.E.N laughs. "You haven't seen it around have you?"

"Your mind huh?" Y/n gets a better look at the back of the robot's head. "It looks like we can actually place it back where it belongs if we find it." Y/n flicks one of the loose cords, causing B.E.N to flinch. "We don't have time for that, Y/n. We have to find a place to hide us all." Jim continues walking. "Oh, I guess...this is goodbye then." B.E.N says sadly. "I'm sorry I'm so, dysfunctional. I'll be on my way...sorry to be such a bother..." He scoots away. "Jim, we cant just leave him like this." Y/n stops Jim by placing her hand on his shoulder. "Look at him." She says softly. "He's a bit off mess..." She mutters. Jim looks at B.E.N and then at Y/n, who was giving him puppy dog eyes. "Alright, alright. Enough with the sappy mood." Jim sighs.

"Look B.E.N, if you're going to come along, you're going to have stop talking." Jim tells him, making B.E.N immediately brighten up. "Really!? You mean it!?" B.E.N jumps into Jim's arms. "I promise, you won't regret it!" Jim gives him a slight glare. "Oh, right, being quite." B.E.N mimics zipping his lips. Jim sets him down. "And you have to stop touching me."

"Right! No talking or touching! Got ya!" B.E.N gives a thumbs up. "Oh, but before we continue, could we possibly stop by my place?" He pulled back some shrubbery to reveal a hide out in the distance. "B.E.N, I think you just solved our problem."
