April fools "prank" f/o one shot thing

​

hi! it's me! local oc robot kisser!? I know I said I wasn't going to be active here but I had this idea and well I'm not an artist but I do like writing soo here we are :D I'm not a good writer but idk I love my he/him lesbain agender husband sooo enjoy:

Relationships are interesting... and that could not be more true for the duo of GZ and Mray. Mray, the autistic robot where most jokes just fly over her head, and GZ, who is chaos incarnate and lives on causing problems. So when the first of April comes around, how do you celebrate without hurting your wife? That was the problem that currently was running through GZ's head as he paced back and forth in their room trying to think of an idea... he wanted to do something, he had to do something—if he didn't, he felt like he would explode!! His red eyes flickered as he paced, long leather jacket hanging loosely at his sides.

So many ideas ran in his head. He could pretend to break up with h—no, no, no. That idea made him wanna punch something; even as a joke, the idea of even doing that was stupid. He could pretend to be back under their cre—he laughed out loud at that one; she'd see right through him. He groaned as each idea he came up with just ended up being stopped by not wanting to hurt her... he used to do this all the time, pranks, but when it comes to her, he gets all lovesick.

Eventually, his red LED eyes blinked in excitement as he sat up, finally getting an idea on how to prank her. It was a classic, something so simple!! He quickly rushed to find an old gift box they had somewhere in their closet. It was perfect: the soft red and the fake white bow. He smirked, excited to do this. A classic: give her a box with nothing in it. Perfectly low stakes, perfect—why was he stopping in front of the door? Why is he turning around to grab something to put in it? Before those thoughts could even fully be realized, he was putting something in a box: a small penguin plush he planned to give her on a random day when he felt like it... today was that day, apparently.

Before he knew it, he was walking to the living room. There she was, just laying there on her phone, scrolling and scrolling. For someone who didn't need to breathe, he still felt his breath be taken away. She was just there in a short-sleeve grey shirt, some Hawaiian pants, and nothing else. God, he was so down bad for her. He smiled, getting onto his knees to be eye level before placing the box on her stomach with a smirk. "Got ya something," he said.

Mray hesitated for a moment, knowing what today is, wondering what possibly could have been in this box. After a moment, her soft metal hands opened the box to find not a prank, not a gag gift, but simply a small blue penguin plushie—her favorite animal. She smiled shyly, rubbing the back of her neck. "Babe... this is... I can't take this... this is too sweet... I—"

He cut off her rambling with a simple kiss on the cheek. "Happy April Fools," he said before going to walk away.

Mray looked at the plush then back at him in confusion... what kind of prank was spoiling her with a gift, she wondered? And well, GZ wondered the same thing as he groaned, realizing he couldn't even go through with one of the easiest, low-stakes pranks ever. He was supposed to be the prank master, he was G-fucking-Z, yet... the idea of seeing her disappointment even for a second made him feel sick.

He stayed like that on the bed for—he didn't even know how long—and stayed that way even as the door opened. Even as he felt the presence of her lay down beside him, that plush still in her hands. "You know I already have this one, right?" she says with a smirk.

He instantly sits up in a panic. Oh God, did he give her more than one? I mean, he would give her as many as she wanted, but what if she didn't like it? These thoughts swam in his head. Maybe he could craft her one... he wasn't good with cotton or sewing, but he'd learn for her, yeah, he—

His racing thoughts were interrupted by a sweet kiss on the cheek. "I'm kidding... April Fools, dork," she said with a sweet laugh.

God damnit.
