Chapter Text
Bundus was a lonely man. He simply wanted some company, well he had lots of friends, he was close with everyone at his place of work but he was in his forties and single. He dated people before but he was young and young love was quick to fade. He simply felt lonely in the romance department.
He has a very basic routine. wake up, put on his prosthetic arm, shower, brush teeth, get dressed, go to work… yadda yadda yadda you get the idea, and today was no different. He got out of bed at the sound of his alarm, got ready, and got in his old beaten up car. As he drives to the daycare he contemplates what he's gonna eat for dinner that night and by the time he pulls up to the daycare where he works he lands on chicken and rice.
He gazes up at the sign on the front of the building “Raiders” what a strange name for a daycare, he's thought since he started working there around a week ago. He gets out of the car and steps out, his car shifts at the loss of his weight and he walks in, the receptionist is a small but muscular woman, her name is “Cthoni” and am slightly startled when she says my name and greets me.
“Oh bundus, good morning”
He nos and attempts to strike up conversation.
“Ah yes you too Cthoni! Nice weather, eh?”
He is met with silence and a nod so he decides to head to the locker room to find jabber there, though he's not exactly sure what his role is at raiders, jabber is always on his phone, and when his head isn't down, long dreads covering his face he's constantly berating innocent people with his loud personality.
“YO! Bundas my man!” he immediately looks up from his phone with an unsettling grin and slings his arm over my shoulders
“Sigh… hello jabber” Bundus sighs heavily, now it's his turn to be quiet, he smiles even though this kid quite honestly unsettles him but the boss trusts him so he doesn't say or do much about it.
“What you up to nowadays old man!”
“Im only 44 Jabber” though as I say this I realize how old I actually am now and sigh deeply. “But not much i guess”
“Boring.” jabber says and sits back on the bench going back to his phone
Bundus quickly changes into his uniform heading out to the play room where the kids usually hang out and play during the day. He always had a soft spot for kids, always found em cute.
Bundus darts around, picking up around the place, jabber was meant to clean up at night but must've skipped out… again. He's only been here for a week but as he cleans Budus smiles, he likes this job and thinks he always will, with no issues or hiccups.
The bell above the door dings.
Must be the first drop off of the day! He thinks to himself humming a small tune as he walks to the door to greet them. His eyes land on a man. Tall but slightly tired wearing a cleaners uniform paired with a headband. He has eye bags and a tired smile as if he's been up all night and he can only describe what he feels with love at first sight.
“Oh bro, off to work?”Cthoni asks
“Yeah haha” The man responds
I swear my heart just skipped a beat… Bundus thinks to himself
