Work Text:
Null rarely left the corrupted office, the few times he did out of boredom and to stretch out his invisible limbs and only when the other NPCs were gone or if you were away for a long period of time….
….not that he misses you or anything…..
Here school was strangely dark, thankfully his body produces light so he moved around with relative ease. Looking out the window he sees low pixelated rain fall from the sky, it’s pretty but nothing worth noting so he continues to walk.
Only to quickly backtrack and double take what he saw out the window that was actually worth noting. You were out there running around in the rain, splashing in the low jpg puddles that were forming, you had the biggest grin on your face as you indulged in this childish antic.
He loudly cussed to himself as he stormed into the direct to a doorway, throwing them open to get a blast of water over his face, the water dripping showed and outline of his features.
“YOU!” his voiced boomed through the heavy rain, you turned to him and smiled, waving.
“Oh hey Null!” you greeted him, completely soaked, your clothes and hair sticking to your skin.
He doesn’t fully run after you, just shouting at you from the doors, “What the fu---k do you think---- you’re doing?!”
“Having fun duh!”
“You’re gonna catch a cold!” he yells back, fuming.
“Only NPCs can get it, I’m not one of them!” you retorted back.
But your player model will not enjoy stuttering and lagging, as much as he wanted you do deal with the consequences of your own actions, he also doesn’t want to hear you complain about player model sickness. So begrudgingly, against his own logic, he rushes over to your, ready to grab and drag you back inside.
You squealed as you saw him running towards you, his clothes and body getting pelted in the rain. This game of rainy cat and mouse went on for an hour as you were faster than him but your stamina was limited so it wasn’t long before his arms wrapped around your waist and he forcefully lifted you up, an uncomfortable stickiness from both your wet clothes rubbed against your back.
“Gotcha!” he proclaims, making the walk back inside, “God you’re so stupidly----stubborn”
“Am not!”
“And a child” he adds.
“Am not!”
He rolls his eyes as he carried you, your body going limp in his arms and it wasn’t long before he felt you shivering from the cold, he was so tempted to say ‘told you so’ but he kept his mouth shut to avoid your little hissy fit, no matter how cute it was. Carrying you back into the office he promptly dropped you on the floor, a little ‘oof’ escapes you.
As you get up from the floor, Null offers you a towel, keeping his eyes away from your soaked body as the clothes you wore was showing your form.
“Thanks” you said to him, grabbing the towel and began drying yourself.
“You better, ugh now my shirt feels awful..” He grumbles as he begins to pull off the sticky fabric from his body.
As you dried yourself off, your eyes wander over to Null as he grumbled to himself, the water still dripping from his body ,the water trails dripping off him giving you a glimpse of what his invisible body was shaped like, from what you’re mind could imagine, he seem to have a pretty average male build.
Null seem to notice you staring as he squeezed out the water from his top, “What are you loo---king at?”
You head snapped in the other direction, face growing warm as you shiver from the cold, suddenly the wall looked very interesting to you, “N-nothing…”
Quietly, you offered him the towel to which he takes from you and proceeds to dry you off more instead.
“Hey--!” you yelped, feeling your head get shaken about.
“Honestly how are you still a---live? you can ba—rely---take care of yourself” He grumbled, wrapping the towel around your body, basically pulling you into his hug.
It’s a little awkward because of the height difference but you enjoyed it, knowing that this was Null’s weird way of showing how he cared about you, leaning into his embrace, you can feel his chest release tension as he helped dry you off. It’s nice to feel wanted.
