K_K- Candy And Cakes

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Oh," you responded, a bit surprised. "Yeah, I suppose I do! It's just, I don't know..." You came back over to the counter, tying up the now filled bag of candy absently as you spoke. "It's a small and simple job, but I really enjoy it, you know? Well, when customers stop by anyways... otherwise, things get a little dull around here." The robot was staring at you, and your face went red. "O-Oh, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have just, uh... It's not really interesting of a topic, and you're probably bored of it already-"

"No, no! It's interesting!" the robot assured you quickly, waving their hands a bit in front of them. Then, they smiled. "What's your name anyways?"

"Oh, Y/N," you replied, smiling back as you placed the candy on a scale. The price popped up on the screen of the cash register. "Is this too much money, or...?" 

"No, it's perfect," they replied, taking out their wallet and handing you the money. You took it and stashed it in the register. "I'm K_K!" They rubbed the back of their neck, lightly blushing. "It's short for Cakes! ... You can call me by either!"

"Alright!" you chirped, grabbing a pen and taking the bag of candy before K_K could. They gave you a confused look, but you ignored it as you scribbled on the plastic of the bag. "Here!" you said when you were done, handing it over to him. You beamed as K_K's eyes went wide in surprise at what you had wrote.

For K_K!

Thanks for coming in today! You're really cool and I enjoyed chatting with you! I hope to see you again soon! :)

- Y/N

K_K now wore a wide grin. They looked at you. "Of course! Now I know where to get my candy from!" You laughed, both of you waving goodbye to each other like old friends as they left the store with a jingle of the bell.


Days had passed since you last saw K_K, and to your disappointment, business was uneventful in the days following. Once again, you found yourself with your cheek against your fist, sketching in your notebook with a melancholy expression. Now it wasn't just boring all the sudden when customers wouldn't show up, it was beginning to get rather lonesome. You sketched in the kind smile and bright eyes of the new friend you had made days ago, then shaded a bit under their chin.

You were beginning to get close to finishing some tiny details when the bell chimed again. You looked up immediately this time to see a welcome surprise. "K_K! Welcome back!" you exclaimed, feeling your mood soar instantly and pull you up into a professional standing position.

"Hi Y/N!" K_K replied with just as much enthusiasm.

"Did you enjoy your candy bag from the other day?" you asked hopefully.

Their smile widened. "Uh huh! I did! I shared it with Sweet and Cap'n. They send their approval of it too!" K_K answered. (Wait, could Sweet even eat? Do- Do they even have a mouth? This is going to bother me now- 😂)

"That's good, that's good!" you replied, clasping your hands together. "So what can I get you today?"

"Oh, I uh, actually didn't really come to buy anything this time..." K_K bashfully confessed, their eyes suddenly being drawn to your notebook. Their face went up a hue. "Is... that me?"

"Huh?" you responded, then looked at your notebook to see the sketch you were just doing staring back at you. You squeaked in alarm, your face going deep red.  "O-Oh, um... yeah. A-Actually, it's-" You quickly ripped the page out of the book, the coils thankfully letting it free without ruining the drawing. You held it out to K_K. "... for you," you finished.

K_K looked shocked, raising a finger slowly to point at themself in question. You nodded quickly, averting your gaze and holding the drawing closer to them. You felt them take the page from your hands. "Geez, this... That's super nice of you! I don't know what to say!" They chuckled softly, seeming flustered.

"Think of it like, uhhmm... fanart?" you offered, then laughed awkwardly. "Art from a fan... yeah..."

"I've never gotten art from a fan before..." they breathed in awe.

Desperate to change the topic, you cleared your throat. "So, uh, you were saying you didn't come here to buy anything...? Why did you come then?"

"Well..." they began, rubbing the back of their head. They laughed softly. "Actually, it was to come see you! I... missed seeing you, and... just wanted to come say hi?"

You put your hands over your mouth to stop yourself from screaming. That is too cute- That is way too cute, oh no- your mind cried. Finally, you removed your hands from your mouth and grinned. "You know, some company is just what I needed today," you said happily. "Besides, nobody is showing up, so it couldn't hurt to chat for a bit!"

For hours, there were no new customers. But you were okay with that. After all, your favorite customer was right there with you the whole time, joking and laughing with you long until your shift was over for the day.

A/N: *screams loudly in wholesomeness* Writing this has given me a new found love of the robot trio. Is that a normal thing to happen to people when they write fanfics? Anyways, yeah, that's all I have to say XD Have a good day, everyone!
