“Good news everyone!”
   You looked up as the Professor sat down, leaning forwards to rest your elbows on the table.
   “What’ve we got today Professor?” you asked, watching the wrinkled old man curiously.
   “A delivery.”
   “How original,” you glanced over as Bender piped up, puffing smoke from his cigar. “Got anything else meatbag?”
   “Well I did come up with an idea for a new invention, but I haven’t got the parts. I was wondering if you and [f/n] could go pick up-”
   “Wait, you want us to work?” Bender exclaimed incredulously. “No way old man!”
   “Oh come on Bender, live a little!” you encouraged, elbowing the robot fondly. “Let’s go for a ride and have some fun! What’s the mission Professor?”
   “Well, I need some copper wire and some other odds and ends. I’ve made a list.” He handed you a piece of paper and you read it over as he continued to talk, instructing you which stores you could find the items at. It was quite simple, you and Bender wouldn’t even have to leave Earth.
   Within the hour, you were walking down the street with Bender trailing behind, muttering to himself and complaining that Fry and Leela could’ve done this and that he didn’t have to be there. You just laughed and rolled your eyes at his childishness, checking things off of the Professor’s list as you found them.
   “What do you think the Professor is building Bender?” you piped up, scanning the list for the next item. A special type of screwdriver.
   “How should I know?” he responded, scowling as the two of you entered the next store. You spoke quickly with one of the clerks and got directions to what you were looking for.
   “I’ll be right back Bender, I’ve just got to get this screwdriver, got it?”
   He crossed his arms, tapping his foot as you strode off into the store. You arrived at the right aisle and glanced around. Where was that screwdriver? Ah, there it was, on top of the shelf. You tried to reach it but it was too high. You frowned and moved a nearby ladder against the shelf so you could climb up. It wasn’t the steadiest of assents but you made it and wrapped your fingers around what the clerk had called a ‘sonic screwdriver.’ What a strange name. Then, just as you began climbing down, you slipped. You let out a yelp of surprise as you found yourself falling through thin air, your stomach momentarily in your throat before a pair of hard arms caught you. You blinked as you looked up into Bender’s surprised face as he put you down.
   “I thought I told you to wait for me,” you breathed, brushing your hair out of your face as you gazed at him.
   He shrugged, looking strangely embarrassed, “Ah, I got bored.”
   “How lucky for my sake,” you muttered almost to yourself, moving forwards to press a quick kiss to the robot’s metal cheek. “Thanks Bender.”
   He blinked, staring at you in shock for a moment and you began to consider that maybe he had shorted out until he blinked again and was back to his usual self, brushing off the action, “Hey, it was nothing. Can’t let my human get hurt when she’s the one doing all the work, can I? If you fell then it’d just be more work for me.”
   You smiled, laughing softly as you went to go pay for the Professor’s screwdriver. “Whatever Bender.”
Bender from Futurama because why not (well, and it was requested XD)
