Chapter 9: Breakfast and City Walks

A/N

(E/C) Eye Colour

(F/B) Favourite Breakfast


The sun slowly woke (Y/N) up by piercing itself through the window's curtains. (Y/N) opened her (E/C) eyes and turned to face the wall with a groan, indicating that she was nowhere near ready to get up. She faced back to the alarm on the beside table with one eye closed and the other half-opened. '09:48am', it read. She inhaled a large breath and exhaled it relaxingly. (Y/N) leaned over the bed and stretched her limbs and scratched her leg and arm stumps. They seemed to be itchy recently, probably due to the metal being removed, she concluded every time. She pulled the back handle of the electric wheelchair given to her for the time being and struggled to get on. After a couple of mentally agonising minutes, (Y/N) managed to place herself in the electric wheelchair. She placed a blanket over her legs and used the small joystick on the left sided armrest to travel into the main area of the apartment. 

"Morning, Ms (Y/N). How was your sleep?" Orrin greeted as he set the dining table for breakfast. 

"Pretty good, Orrin. What're you making, smells great." (Y/N) complimented before she noticed the snoring robot boy on the couch. 

"(F/B). Astro insisted you'd like it." Orrin explained as he sped into the kitchen. (Y/N) released a small chuckle and placed her wheelchair next to the couch that Astro was sprawled out on. She gently hit his foot and whisper-yelled his name to get him up. Astro blinked a couple times and looked to (Y/N) with a smile. 

"Hi (Y/N)..." He greeted before his eyes closed once more. Mere seconds later, Astro's eyes widened- "(Y/N)!" -and he leaped out of bed... and onto the floor. He stood up as quickly as he could and greeted the girl once more. "H-hi (Y/N)! Glad you're awake! I m-mean not that I thought you wouldn't wake up. I'm just glad to see you- i-in a friend way! Happy to see... my friend... awake." Astro stuttered awkwardly before he smacked his own forehead in embarrassment.  

"Happy to see you too...friend?" (Y/N) replied with a small laugh. "Just coming to tell you that Orrin made breakfast. You made a good choice, (F/B). Sounds good." 

"Yeah, i-it was no problem." Astro replied with a nervous smile. 

"Let's go eat then." (Y/N) smiled with a small blush that she hid pretty well. Astro on the other hand, was extremely thankful he wasn't able to blush. Perks of being a robot. Both of them walked over to the table before Astro pulled a chair away for (Y/N) to slide in with her wheelchair. Orrin returned from the kitchen with two plates of (F/B). (Yes, Astro's a robot. And yes, I know technically he wouldn't be able to eat. But this is FanFiction. Anything's possible :) (Y/N) raised her only hand and began to eat. Well, tried to. The food slipped off the fork/spoon a couple times, making it difficult and frustrating for the girl. 

"Would you... like some help?" Astro offered with a smile when he noticed how annoyed (Y/N) was. 

"No, it's okay. I got it." (Y/N) replied through her teeth with a strained voice. Astro laughed slightly but quickly covered his mouth. (Y/N) slightly smacked him on the face and tried to go back to eating. What would've normally taken maximum 10-15 minutes, turned to around 25 minutes once (Y/N) was finally done. She denied all three times Astro offered to help and was proud she did it herself. Even if it took much longer than what it should've. During the last few mouthfuls, Astro asked Orrin where his dad was. 

"He came home pretty late, a while after you both fell asleep. He left early to go back to his lab. He mentioned how he wanted the prosthetics to be made as best as they could." Orrin explained. 

"When he comes back, I'll thank him. He really didn't need to do this. None of you needed to do anything but I do appreciate it. So thanks." (Y/N) thanked Astro and Orrin, and subconsciously Dr Tenma. Astro noticed how (Y/N) was a bit down, so he made her an offer. 

"How about we go for a walk? Just around the city and maybe to the Surface?" Astro suggested. (Y/N) perked up a little. 

"Sounds fun. Could I just wear what I got on? And the blanket?" (Y/N) asked. 

"Yeah, no problem. I can get you a spare toothbrush to use then we can go?"

"Cool, thanks." (Y/N) smiled. Her cheeks hurt from all the smiling she'd been doing. And she wondered why exactly she'd been smiling so much recently. She had a thought in the back of her mind, but she pushed it aside. Because it couldn't possibly by true... could it? 

------------------------------------------------------------

Astro pushed (Y/N)'s wheelchair throughout the city and gave her a tour of where everything was. Although the sights were beautiful, (Y/N) couldn't ignore the stares she received from just about everyone. She tried her best to focus on what Astro was saying but she couldn't remove the nervous feeling as she met people's eyes. Sure, her leg was hidden, but her arm was still visible. It didn't take long for Astro to notice that (Y/N) was slightly on edge, or the reason why she was so anxious. He returned the stares to the people that passed. Yes, he was the city's hero, but that didn't stop him from telling people to back off. For some reason he felt incredibly protective when he was out and about with (Y/N), especially in her current vulnerable state. 

"How about we go the Surface? You might be more comfortable around there." Astro suggested. (Y/N) nodded with no answer, which was rare for her. She normally had answer for everything. Guess her nerves just got the best for her. Astro tried to speed walk as fast as he could without out looking weird to the public, so it didn't take long for them to reach the Surface. (Y/N) finally released an exhale as her wheelchair was brought off the city and onto the familiar Surface (hehe, puns). She was happy to be back at the place that she knew the best. Although she was nervous about one thing, her fellow orphans had never seen her without her prosthetics. Maybe some of them did a while ago but it still worried (Y/N), it embarrassed her. But she went through with it anyway because she missed her younger friends.
