Boil x Gender Neutral Reader Fluff

Boil was home late, again, - it seemed to be happening a lot more often and you never told you why he was always running late, too be fair you never asked him, but today you would.
“Boil!” You huffed as he entered your apartment, “Where have you been? You keep coming home late and you’re making me worry!”
“Umm, hey Y/N…uh…I was out-”
“Out where?! You said you were coming straight home.”
“I was out with Waxer and Wooley.”
“Oh really? Cause Waxer called me asking if I had heard from you.”
“Urgh Waxer that bucket head!” Boil groaned not realizing he said it out loud.
“I think you’re the bucket head,” you joked.
“That’s probably true too,” he said laughing.
He walked closer to you - putting his helmet on the ground before placing his hands on your shoulders.
“Y/N, I promise I’ll tell you in a bit,” he said kissing you on the cheek.
“Why can’t you tell me now?” You teased.
“In a bit, I promise!” He said rolling his eyes and shaking his head, as a smirk became more present on his face.
“Fine,” you pout pulling him in for a kiss.

After a few hours of watching holofilms, you had all but forgotten about him wanting to tell you something, he on the other hand did not forget his promise.
“Y/N I’ll be right back, go ahead and pick the next film,” he says getting up from the couch, kissing you before he walked off to the other room.
He picked up his helmet, grabbing something he had put inside it, a small case, taking it in his hand he walks back to where you sat.
“I picked out a film, do you want anything to eat before I hit play?” You ask as he walks over to you, stopping by the side of the couch.
“Come, sit,” you said noticing him just standing there.
“Uh….Y/N?”
“Yeah?”
“About that promise earlier…”
“Oh, yeah, you wanted to tell me why you’ve been out late.”
“Yeah….so um…you know, uh...how tomorrow is your birthday?”
“It is?” You say remembering that you completely forgot, making him laugh, easing some of the anxiety in his voice as he continued.
“It is, I’ve been out so late… because...I wanted to get you something.”
“Boil, sweetheart you didn’t have too.”
“I know, I know you said you didn’t care about your birthday, but I do and I wanted to get you something.”
You stand up looping your arms around his neck and kissing him, his hands cupping your back and waist as he reciprocated your love.
“I haven’t even given you your gift yet,” he jokes pulling away slightly.
“Your kissing is a gift.”
“Hmm, is it now?” He smirked moving back in to kiss you.
–He pulls away from you moving back a step, “Close your eyes,” he asked kindly.
“As you wish,” you said closing your eyes.
He kissed you gently on the lips before kneeling down, “You can open your eyes now,” he whispered, opening the small case in his hand.
Opening your eyes you look down to see him kneeling in front of you, holding something.
“Boil!” You shouted lifting your hands to cover your mouth at the realization that there was a ring in the box.
“Y/N I know I don’t have much to give you and I’m only a cl–”
Dropping down to your knees you jump against him, cutting off what he was going to say, hugging him tightly, - the force of your body against his knocking him back. Falling on his back with you landing on top of him, releasing him from the hug you prop yourself up on his chest, looking at him with a smile and tears in your eyes.
“Boil, I love you, I love you so much and you just being you is enough for me, because I love you.”
“Y/N,” he said shocked by your loving words.
“I want to be with you forever.”
“So I take it that’s a yes?” He joked lifting the ring up to you.
“Yes, a million times yes,” you say leaning back so he could sit up.
Gently he takes your hand and slides the ring on it, “I love you,” he whispers kissing you as he wrapped his arms around you pulling you into his chest as he fell back against the floor.
