Chapter Text
Shedletsky peered his head up to where all the admins stood in one crowded room, slowly entering, wondering what Builderman could've possibly brought them all up into his office for. He observed his surroundings and started to wonder,
Was it for an out-of-the blue raise? No, stupid. That's WAY too far-fetched. Builderman wouldn't do that.
Whilst Shed thought about what kind of revelation he was in for today, he was interrupted by a loud, STOMP! Followed by a loud shout, sounding of;
"LISTEN UP! ATTENTION!"
Which were the words shouted by the CEO himself, making his announcement as he stood on his personal desk. Which was odd, because he treated it like some of throne. The very thing that gave him his power.
"So, yer OBVIOUSLY wonderin' why yer here-"
He was cut off by a short and inappropriate quip made by his best friend,
"Yeah, no shit."
Shedletsky remarked, trying to make the mood seem more playful, but instead, invoked an awkward silence over the room. What did he expect? A laugh? No. This is a professional workspace, and he needed to treat it like one.
"Ahem...as I was sayin' t' reason I brought'cha all here be that I wanted to announce how we're all going on a business vacation!"
Cheers and shouts filled the room, giving the office more life and joy than Shedletsky's stupid-ass ever could.
Once again, Builderman raised his voice to speak.
"Everyone! We're gonna have a vote! Please take the next day to research where ya wanna go, and why. Y'all dismissed!"
As the crowd started flooding the doorway, Shedletsky stood to the side, waiting for everypony to exit so that he could have a chat with Builderman.
After it was only him and his boss, he slowly approached him with a face full of regret to apologize for his stupid and uncalled-for comment.
"Hey, I'm...honestly pretty sorry about what I said, I just thought-"
The admin was interrupted by the sudden feeling of Builderman wrapping his arm around his shoulder.
"It be alright, now get on with it an' do yer research project or whatever the hell it's called." The CEO responded with a hint of joy in his voice, which was something that wasn't heard very often from him, not wanting to let his friend go home with a burden of regret for an inconsiderate 'joke'.
He watched as the swordsman exited the office and eventually the building, waiting for him to drive off, then made his way downstairs to drive home, too.
As Builderman arrived at his residence, he went over his night-time routine and went to bed.
But something was different. You see, Builder just wasn't the type to dream, but something about this particular night had changed. When the ruler of Roblox dozed off...he started dreaming! For the first time in quite a long time! But the dream was...say, odd.
//bolded is the dream! Italicized in quotes are the thoughts; they're not spoken out loud! All other italicization is for dramatic effect!//
"Can you play with my hair?"
The dreamer blinked a couple of times, confused, scared.
"What's happening?"
As he regained focus, the thought instantly punched him in the gut.
"I'm dreaming about cuddling with my best friend..."
"I'm...DREAMING ABOUT CUDDLING WITH MY BEST FRIEND?!"
As builder looked down to take in the odd fantasy, he noticed that Shedletsky actually wasn't far from attractive...or should he say, cute? The only thing he knew was that something about his appearance was captivating. It sickened him that he thought- no. Considered that the man before him was even in the slightest romantically appealing. Appalled, Builderman just stared off into the distance, wondering why he was thinking of such things.
"Sooo..you're just going to sit there?" The other man asked, looking up from Builder's arms that were, surprisingly, intricately placed around his friend's body.
There was nothing the CEO could say. About his best friend. About what he thought about him. Anything.
