Metal Drabble

Summary:

Working for Eggman, as anyone might guess, has some slow points in the day. And when you're a free spirit who has no clue how you even ended up there, you have your own means of spending free-time. Regardless of what uninvited guests might think.

Work Text:

The music blasting in your room every time you had a break this week was starting to get on nerves the robot wasn't even aware he had. He had just gotten back from another disappointing interaction with Sonic- what was it that caused him to lose every time? He hadn't even the time to think on it without getting horribly interrupted by your radio, and he intended to do something about it. 

Barging into your work room, he looked on as you twirled about with Cubot, Orbot on the sidelines seemingly having just as much fun as you two but being to stubborn to admit to it. Cubot spun you a bit and when you were focused again your eyes landed on him. There was something about how you looked at him that made him feel he should leave in that very instance or else. As he turned away, he saw you run up to him and pull on his arm. He stared down at your hand and back at at you- had you needed something?

You nodded your head back to the room and tried to bring him into the center. Confused by your intentions, he allowed you to bring him closer. Of course, had he known your intention was to dance with him he would have simply left. You held both his hands and tried to move him to the beat, hoping you wouldn't get blasted to pieces for even trying. He pulled his hands away and began to walk away again.

However, the complaints from all others in the room were just as troublesome as the music itself. If he wasn't going to be able to think on his own time, and he couldn't get them to leave him alone...

Begrudgingly, he turned around and allowed you to pull him around to dance. The smile on your face beamed bright, and much to his surprise, made him not mind the dance as much. You laughed as you spun him around, and he decided he would play the same game back at you. Moving one hand to spin you and then dipping you, holding you close. He heard you gasp quietly as you stared up at him, shining, curious eyes trying to figure out why he had moved to do this. He stayed like that for a short moment before pulling you back up. Orbot and Cubot had been watching on, surprised he had been convinced to stay in the room at all- forget about dancing or even dipping you.

He backed off and pointed to the music, making a small beeping sound.

"Oh, the music?" You regained your composure and looked to the radio, "Did you come here because we're being too loud?" He beeped again, seemingly in confirmation. "I can turn it down, it's not a problem. Thanks for, um, staying and you know..."

He noticed you weren't going to be able to spit it out, and decided to just nod for you. He took his leave and closed the door behind him. He made a quick note to peak in on your breaks from now on, especially if there was going to be music.
