The Newbie... [DethKlok x GN!! Reader]

new-ish...

you had recently moved to mordhaus, that being said, you were newish to the workplace. you started off as a runt, lowest of the low... you started off by cleaning up dead bodies of the kloketeers, seeing your coworkers dead was a little bit of a mind fuck but nothing you couldn't handle. slowly, very, VERY slowly, you were able to work your way up the food chain and up to the band co-manager!! WOOOOOOO!! 

starting out new was rough... one minute, you're cleaning up after the band, the next... you're still cleaning up after the band but on a more personal level. you seemed to turn into the second parent of the band alongside Charles. he warned you, and I quote, "this band can be very chaotic  but they have pure hearts." 

this particular day, you were sent back to your roots to clean up another body. another nameless kloketeer that was brutally killed in one way or another. as you hauled the body bag up into the crematory, you bumped... no... slammed into the one and only Toki Wartooth. "Ohs... I ams sorrys!!" he bowed his head politely and smiled warmly. you had never personally met the band but you knew their roles. Toki Wartooth, backup guitar. you mentally cataloged his name and role in the band in your library of a mind and smiled gently at him.

"no worries." he almost seemed to buffer, his face going blank and his eyes narrowing. 

"does yous haves am name?" he asked after a few moments of awkward, blank eyed moments. 

"oh- I'm y/n, its nice to meet you." you smiled calmly and Toki seemed to smile a bit warmer. he shook your hand but it seemed to click in his sweet little nutshell of a head that you didn't call him "master" or "siar." to him, it felt off... most of the kloketeers called him by one of those two and addressed him with slight fear or a weird amount of forced respect.

then he quickly realized that you weren't wearing the normal grunt uniform. "Ams yous new heres?" he asked with a tilted head

you blinked. you didn't think that he would recognize you but to this level? it almost felt like an insult to some degree. "no. I'm just new to the co-manager position." you replied with a bit of a snip to your tone. 

Toki blinked again. "waits... you'res the new partners to Charles??" his voice was naturally confused.

now, being from the south, your natural but not so smart reaction was to spit out the classic line: "oh, God bless your pea pickin' heart." it took a warm smile from Toki and a giggle for you to realize that you had just literally called him stupid without him realizing it. "wait- Toki- I didn't mean that!!" you quickly back-tracked and threw your hands up out of anxiety. 

"what's does yous means?" he says with a bright smile and a head tilt.

oh no... he didn't know what it meant... that actually made quite a bit of sense. he was born and raised in Norway but still... "Toki... when someone says that, it usually means that they're calling you stupid...

"oh..." his face fell through about four different emotions at once. confusion, blankness, anger then sadness. "yous thinks I ams stupid...?" his voice was so soft and defeated...

"no!! no... it was a natural reaction. I really didn't mean it. I don't think you're stupid at all." you tried to ease his anxiety with a gentle smile and somehow it actually worked a little. he smiled gently and nodded.

"okays... sees yous later!!" he said with a warm smile and trotted off to more than likely find the other band members. 

you sighed softly and finished cleaning up before heading to Charles' office...

this was going to be a very long meeting...
