Aphmau X Child! Reader

Chapter 11

"Y-Yeah but I lied to protect myself. I didn't want to get kicked out or bullied."

"Maybe this...Alex...is lying to protect themselves too. Did you ever think of that?"

You were about to retort before placing your fingers on your chin allowing Aarons words to sink in.

"I'll think about it. Ahh...Its fine. I'm not here to worry about Alex right now. I'm ready to help on the new Café! Whatever you need, I'm your person of intrest!" You grinned.

"Got it." Aaron chuckled.

Once you three finally got to your location, Aaron stared at the building skeptically.

"So these are the Phoenix Property Brothers. Are you two sure their a good contact?"

"Of course! Well...They're my only contact. But still! Their more then capable to help us find a place to set up our Maid Café! We have old documents we need to open, now we just need a place for it!"

"Wait, aren't these the guys who set us up in the house we were shoved into?"

"Yeah..But Aphmau said that happened because the rent was cheap!" You smiled.

"Thats right," One of the Pheonix brothers spoke, coming out of nowhere,

"And thats exactly what we're good at! Finding the home you love while making sure its all in your budget!"

"We'll leave you spooked at how good we are! We've had a 99.9% success rate in finding our customers homes their happy with!"

"What about the other..." You held but your fingers counting a bit, ".1%?"

"Uhhh..." The two murmured simultaneously.

"Yeah...We don't like to talk about that..." "That wasn't even a meme! Was it?" "I see...Well, we really should start looking!"

"Perfect! Follow us!" "How do you think this'll turn out?" You smiled, looking at at Aaron.

"Lets hope we find something Aph likes." He sighed.

You giggled as your tail wagged before following Aphmau and the brothers into the building.

"Check out this place!" The blonded brother spoke as Aphmau went further into the building.

You trailed behind her but yelped at the item in the corner.

"What the--"

"Ah! Skeleton!" Aphmau pointed.

"Is that a dead body!?" "Ahaha! No, No...Its just a skeleton we planted. It adds for dramatic effect!" "I'm scared..." "Me too..." You and Aphmau shivered.

"Malachi! You can'y keep doing that!" "Ehh...Sorry...I really have this thing for spooks..." Malachi sighed.

The next property seemed promising! Or so you had hoped. You stood next to Aaron holding his hand as Aphmau went inside inspect it.

"This place is sure to be a hit! There's plenty of room for--" "AHHHH!" You two heard Aphmau yelp.

Aaron scooped you up into his arm and ran inside to see what had happened.

You sqeaked and buried your head into Aarons shoulder when you saw Malachi on the floor, covered in blood, dead.

There was blood on the wall that wrote,  'Boo'! Aphmau was horrified while Aaron just stared at the body.

"Malachi! Seriously!?"

"I-I explain! This is paint! There was a bucket, and it spilled on me, and...I...Took advantage of the moment before she walked in..."
