Working Overtime

A Gifted Bucko Bee x Gifted Riley Bee Short

Bucko is overworking again to top the Red Bees... like always. Riley will find out eventually so there is no point in hiding it Bucko, it's pretty much over for you.

Post of "Why the Rivalry?" (I suggest you read that first to get a somewhat of an understanding of what's going on in this chapter)

The whole chapter is being told from Bucko's point of view

______________________________________________________

Bucko's POV

I was at my work station in the Blue HQ with new addition to the Blue Bees, Tadpole, and my right wing bee, Bumble. Tadpole was casually mapping out a graph of all the Blue Bees that we have so far and comparing them to their complete opposite; Cool to Rad, Fire to Frosty, Rascal to Bumble (which Bumble was very disappointed to admit, and mumbled, "Fine, it's kinda true.") and so on and so forth. This was so we can see how they meet common ground, and see how they can one up their Red Bee counterpart. This makes Tadpole more like a match maker than anything else.

Bumble was making up potential strategies that the Red Bees have never came up with, in hope that would give us a boost in battle, craftsmanship, pollen colleting and conversions, and honey collecting. Bumble was one of the originals, so I knew from the start that this role would work just fine for him.

Finally, I was calculating and taking notes on a few new discovers on the game, and tried to figure out how we could make this a benefit for us. Now, I know what you may be wondering, "Why are you guys plotting against the Red Bees if you guys made peace? And isn't Riley technically you boyfriend now?" Well, yes, we did make peace, and yes, we are technically a thing, but that doesn't mean we can't have some rivalry, right?

"Tadpole, Bumble you guys can go to sleep. It's really late, and you guys look exhausted. I can take up where you left off from here," I said standing up, stretching. Tadpole only nodded with his casual goofy smile, obviously tired, and walked out the room. I started to walk over to where Tadpole was working to pick up the graph off the table. That's when I noticed Bumble standing in front of me, with a stern look on his face, arms crossed, giving me the death glare. I raised a brow at him, but that just made is glare deepen.

"Um... How can I help you?" I asked very confused into why he look like he was going to bite my head off. Not saying anything, his death glare remained, the only change to his face being a now raised brow. I sigh in defeat and sat down in the nearest chair, knowing what's coming next.

"You are going straight to bed. Now," Bumble says in a very stern and irritated voice. "And I will watch you go to your room and make sure you stay there." He continued with a "matter-of-fact" tone, now pointing his index finger out at me. I and, sigh in defeat. Bumble was also the person that made sure I kept myself alive through the years. This started after our first encounter with Riley; he was physically stronger than me, so I fainted while in battle with him.

"I promise I'll go to sleep, just give me 25 minutes, please?" I said in a desperate tone. Bumble just looked at me and said, "I'll give you 15 minutes." I looked at him, now with a stern expression and said, "20 minutes." Bumble stayed quiet for a few minutes, tiredly sighed, and began to walk out the room.

"It's 11:20, you only 20 minutes. If that's at least one second over 11:40, I will drag you to your room and chain you to the bed so you wont leave to come back to this room to continue working." And with that Bumble walked out the room, and closed the door. I smiled tiredly with the small victory, and looked down at Tadpole's graph.

I look over the graph twice, just to make sure I don't miss anything while I copy down the most important red bees to worry about in my small blue; red heart decorated notebook that Riley gave me as a gift. I love the notebook so much that I make sure to have it with me where ever I go; and to go with the notebook, Riley also gave me a two-in-one blue and red pen.

I continue to write down notes into the notebook, while also keeping track of time so Bumble doesn't drag (literally) me to my room. Sighing, I decided to change from working on the graphing to calculating. I stand up and walked to where I was originally sitting before everyone left for bed (Bumble most likely staying up with a timer, ready to drag me away, with chains and duct tape to restrain me), and look over the equations I created.

While working, I feel myself doze off a little, but I quickly opened my eyes when I hear a crash behind me. I quickly stood up and grabbed the closet thing to me. Looking down to see what it was I grabbed, and saw that it was the two-in-one pen Riley got me. I quickly uncapped the red side and held out the pen in defense.

"Aww, is that really how you treat your favorite bee is the world?" Said a voice from behind me, wrapping their arms around me as some sort of hug. Of course as me first reaction, I jump in surprise, struggle to fight my way out of their grip, and point my pen at them. I wasn't able to see their face since they seem to be wearing a black hood to cover their identity.

"Who are you, and how did you get into the Blue HQ?" I demanded, trying to keep my voice as steady as possible. The figure just chuckled softly and slowly walked towards me. With each step they take forward is equal to each step I take back until I'm cornered into a wall. I lower my arm that had the pen, and looked down to avoid the their covered gaze.

Suddenly, I feel a hand lift my head to face them, my eye are wide at this point. I look to see them lift their other arm, and grip the hood. I gasp in shock to see that it was, none other then, Riley. Unmistakable bright red hair is revealed; amber eyes meeting my ocean blue eyes. Of course, Riley being Riley, he smirked, and kissed my check.

"So, your working over time again to one up us I see?" He asked, which really just sounded more like a statement and not a question; not backing away to give me some space to at least move a little. I just narrowed my eyes and playfully pushed his shoulder, and in the process, he dramatically stumbles back and lands on the ground with a small thump. Riley then held a hand to where his heart was and whimpered, "You wound me Bucko. Wound me." I just roll my eyes at the comment, and made my way to sit next to him. He sighs and says, "You really need to stop overworking yourself some much. You blue bees are such workaholics," Riley proceeds to puts a hand on his face to try and cover his smile. I, again, roll my eyes at the remark and cuddled myself onto his side. I feel his arm wrap around me to keep me close, "Though, your my workaholic."

We stayed silent for what seems like an eternity, just sitting peacefully in the others embrace, when Riley says, "Also I looked at you plans to one up us, and the graphings. I must say that new bee of yours really knows who matches with who. Bumble isn't to bad with strategies himself. As for the equations you were doing, I fixed a few errors and miscalculations while you weren't looking. You seriously need to sleep, its effecting your work ethic." I look up at Riley in pure shock. How could he noticed all of that without me noticing?

"Hey, I'm smarter than I look and act, Blueberry." Riley states, and starts to shift, much to my disappointment. At this point, Riley is standing in front of me, offering me his hand. I gratefully took it, and stood up, still holding Riley hand. Riley leaned in to give a soft kiss of the lips, and rested his forehead mine.

"I should probably get back to the Red HQ before Rascal does something.... rascal." I looked down, grabbed both of his hands in my own, and gave them a little squeeze. He pressed his lips against my forehead, and slowly let go of my hands. I look up to see him go to an area of the room.

"I love you my little Blueberry, don't ever forget that." Riley said, looking at me again, before pulled the hood back over his head, which once more covered his eyes; and with that, he was gone. I smiled softly as I made my way to exit the room, grabbing the notebook and pen on my way out. Before closing the door, I look at the clock against the wall to see it read, 11:39. That was okay because that meant I still have a minute to spare.

I closed the door, and proceeded to walk down the dark blue hall to my room. While I was about to turn the corner, I see Bumble with his arms crossed, leaning against his door frame with a tired expression. I just smirk at him, causing him to just roll his eyes and waved me good night, closing his door in the process. I kept the smirk on my face, knowing I won this war.

I made it to my room, and closed the door. Placing down the notebook and pen, I quickly changed my clothes to something more comfortable to sleep in, brushed my teeth, and got ready for bed. Before finally collapsing into bed, I see something poking out of the notebook I didn't see before, I pulled of the paper to see a selfie picture of me and Riley smiling and hugging while looking at the camera. I smiled at the precious item and decided to attach it to my mirror frame.

I finally collapsed into bed, and shuffled a little to get into a comfortable position; looking at the picture again, I smiled. Closing my eyes, I feel myself being taken away into a deep, and peaceful slumber.
