Odd Squad one shots {requests are open}

Break room (Otis x Orella)

A/n: Hey guys! So this story is gonna be a bit different from what I usually do. It was requested by Brawlstarsminercarl because I told him that I used to kinda think Otis was cute, so yea. (Don't ask lol)

Orella is my odd squad name for this story, so this is basically an Otis x Me story. (Note: this is NOT a x reader) (Don't ask why I'm doing this lol once again, it was requested by @Brawlstarsminercarl )

Hope you enjoy! 😘

Orella's pov (point of view)

I walked into the main part of the Odd Squad headquarters, smiling as I made my way over to my desk.

I had just started officially working here about two weeks ago, and I was still getting used to things, so it was all still pretty exciting.

I sat at my desk, already getting to work on some paperwork. I liked to stay on top of things like that.

My partner, Ori, was off work today, since it was his cousin's birthday, so I was on my own today.

I glanced over at Otis and Olympia, who were seated at their desks not too far from me.

Olympia looked over at me and waved at me, smiling widely, while Otis just glanced at me briefly with a small smile.

I would be lying if I said I didn't find Otis kind of cute. But this was something that i decided to ignore, since I was sure that my secret crush was one-sided. I wasn't in the mood for rejection (honestly, who ever is?) so that was something that I didn't plan on disclosing anytime soon.

The only person I told, was Olympia. Me and her were really good friends already, so I pretty much told her everything.

About two hours went by of just doing paperwork, and to be honest, I was getting kind of hungry.

I was about to get up and go to the break room to get a snack, but I stopped when I saw Otis getting up from his desk and walking over to me.

Tiny butterflies erupted in my stomach as he walked over to me, and I tried to act as normal as possible.

"Hey, Orella? Um, I was getting kinda hungry so I'm gonna go get something from the break room real quick. Did you want anything?" Otis asked, seeming just the slightest bit nervous.

I smiled, trying (and failing) to avoid blushing.

"Sure." I said. "I guess an apple would be good. Ooh! No a banana! I like those waayyy better than apples. Ooh or you know what? You can get me a piece of toast too. And maybe some preserves." I rambled, just now realizing how hungry I actually was.

Otis just stood there for a second, trying to take in everything I just said.

I realized that my 'order' was pretty all over the place, so I stood up and said "You know what? I'll just go with you."

Before Otis could reply, I started walking towards the break room, leaving him no choice but to follow me.

Once in the break room, I rummaged through the fridge, pulling out a banana, an apple, a cookie and a piece of bread, then I placed all of that food onto the table.

Otis raised an eye brow at me.

I blushed, slightly embarrassed at how much food I planned to eat.

"Uh I'm just really hungry." I awkwardly stated.

"It's cool. I'm hungry too." Otis said, opening the fridge and grabbing a bowl of orange slices and a piece of bread before sitting at the table, me following suit.

"So, how's your day so far?" I asked him, trying to make conversation. But I was mentally slapping myself for asking such a stupid question, since his 'day' was literally the same as mine so far. Paperwork.

"My day was ok. How bout you? Otis replied before taking a bite of his bread.

"Good. My day's good so far."

Awkward silence.

I took a bite of my apple, partly because I was hungry, and partly just so there could be some noise, since the silence was driving me crazy.

"So, you like apples?" Otis asked me. Now he was trying to make conversation.

"Eh. Kinda. I kinda like bananas and grapes more." I replied. "What do you like?" I asked.

"You."

"What?"

"Oranges. I like oranges." Otis said, quickly cleaning up his previous reply.

Not knowing how to reply, I just nodded and said "I like oranges too." Or at least, that's what I meant to say, but it accidentally came out wrong and I said "I like you too."

I blushed as I realized what I had said.

Otis looked up at me with wide eyes and a slight pink tint on his cheeks.

"Did I hear you right?" he hesitantly asked.

I sighed. There was pretty much no going back at this point.

"Yeah. I like you, Otis. I kinda have a crush on you. But it's totally fine if you don't like me back." I said really quickly, looking down at the table and trying show almost no emotion.

Otis was slightly smiling though. "I like you too, Orella." he said.

I looked up at him and smiled.

"So, you wanna come to my house after work and order take-out or something?" I asked him.

Yeah, I know, not exactly the most 'date-y' thing we could do, but in all fairness, I was kinda in shock that he actually liked me, so I was lucky any words were even coming out of my mouth.

"Sure." Otis replied.

We then went back to eating, as if nothing ever happened. But secretly, I couldn't wait to tell Olympia about this.

Posted! 😘 Hope you guys enjoyed that! Again, I don't usually do these kind of one-shots, but I think it turned out pretty good!

Brawlstarsminercarl hope this is what you were expecting! (And I hope you're happy *rolls eyes* lol)
