But, you're just a computer... [SQUIP x Fem. Reader]

Ups and Down - Chapter 18

Eric paused. "No... Chloe got jealous of Jeremy and Brooke's 'relationship' and tried to have sex with Jeremy, coming fairly close to sexually assaulting him."

"Why in the world would she do that...?"

"Jealousy is an incredibly strong emotion," Eric sighed. "I would know..." He mumbled that last part, but I chose to not to ask what he said. I continued to look around although the lingering smell of alcohol just grew stronger, and started to make me get a little nauseous. "Y/n, go to the bathroom and grab a glass of water. The air in there fairly fresh,"

I put my hand on my stomach and ran for the bathroom. I could feel puke slowly arise, but I quickly swallowed it before it could forcefully leave my mouth. Eric and I rummaged around until he found a cup to drink out of. I sat on the sink's counter and slowly drank the water.

But then the shower curtain was pulled back. "AH!" I yelled, being startled at this abrupt motion. "Wait- Michael?"

Michael sat up in the tub. "Hey." He nonchalantly greeted.

I slowed my breathing down. "Mika, how- how'd you get in? I thought you weren't invited." I said.

"I wasn't," Michael stood up from the tub. "I got in using this clever disguise." He said. He revealed himself to just have put on some kind of homemade trash costume. I smiled at him but didn't say anything. "You're speechless, Squip got your tongue?"

I glanced at Eric. He shook his head. "No, I'm just glad you're here, this party is bland- well, sort of."

Michael took his costume off and stood next to me. "What do you mean bland- Wait- What did Jeremy do this time?" He asked.

I rolled my eyes. "He managed to accidentally make everyone here at this party think that he and Chloe were having sex on Jake's parent's bed," I explained. Michael nodded.

"Sounds like Jeremy, although I blame him Squip 100% for that." Michael began. Michael turned his whole body toward me. "Speaking of which, I'm assuming your Squip is here and listening to everything we're saying right now, right?"

I saw Eric shake his head. "Tell him that I'm turned off, if you tell him that I'm here then he'll restrict his own words." He said.

"No, he's turned off right now." I lied.

Michael looked off. "Good." Michael grabbed my shoulders. "Listen-"

Michael was abruptly cut off by the bathroom door slamming. Michael and I jerked our heads towards where the sound emitted. "Jeremy?"

Jeremy has his back pressed up against the door in a panic, but when he saw us, his back relaxed and his breathing settled. "Y/n? Michael? Oh god, I'm."

Michael looked at the both of us. "You know, I was actually thinking about this moment, about what I was going to say to you both," Michael took a small piece of paper out of his pack pocket and briefly scanned what it said. "I had this- really pissed off monologue. An epic journey through 12 years of friendship." Michael crumbled the paper and angrily put it back in his pocket. He looked back up at Jeremy just to see him smiling. "What?"

Jeremy snapped out of his strange trance. "No, it's just- it's just really great to see you, man..." He lazily smiled as he rubbed his own arm.

Michael squinted at Jeremy but softened his glare when he looked at me. "Well, it won't be, when you hear what I found out." He said.

Jeremy and I looked at him strangely. "Found out? About what?" Jeremy asked.

Michael jerked his eyebrows up and poked in between his forehead and temples.
