Rob x Reader {Null & Void}

"The Ex."

(Y/N)'s p.o.v

Fast forward to a couple months later, and I'm out of the hospital, and at the mall. I was currently being followed around by an employee at a clothing store, who was telling me to take my time, and that there was no pressure. But she did this so many times, that I felt uneasy, eventually everything I grabbed at in the store was on the counter, and I had a scared look on my face as I saw the price go up, and up, and up...

"Would you like a membership card, and get half off of all your purchases?" The lady asked, holding up a small plastic membership card, I thought about it for a moment, before jumping in shock as she waved the card in my face. "You know you want to.." She said teasingly, and I was about to reach out and grab the card, before I felt someone put their hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah, that's not gonna happen." They said, and I looked beside me to see Penny, sliding the membership card back to the cashier. My clothes were bagged, and I walked out with two bags on one arm.

"Thanks, Penny." I thanked, going over to a table at the food court, and setting them down. "No problem, you usually have trouble saying 'no' to people, (Y/N)." She stated, taking a sip of her almost empty slushee container. "What? Oh come on, I say no all the time!" I said, rolling my eyes, and avoiding eye contact awkwardly. "Did the cashier ask if you were buying those clothes?" She asked me, pointing down at my bags full of useless clothes, to which I paused, before slamming my face on the table. "I just feel so mean!" I confessed, turning head to rest my chin on the table, and looking up at Penny, sadly. "How do I fix this.?" I asked, weakly.

"Well I'd tell you, but I haven't been in your shoes before, (Y/N)." Penny apologized, to which I nodded in understanding, before pausing at an odd sight. There, at the other side of the food court, is Rob, trying to ignore Gumball, who was wearing a banana suit. I blinked a couple times before, turning to penny to see if she saw the same thing. "Penny, is that your boyfriend?" I asked, pointing over at him, and taking a couple more glances at the odd sight. Penny sighed, and rested her head on the palm of her hand. "Yeah." She said boredom, sounding completely done with the world, which was a complete change from her previous attitude. "What is he... doing?" I asked, raising an eyebrow as Gumball began to do a weird dance, stopping when banana joe walked up to him and gave him a letter. Joe seemed angry, so it was probably a cease and desist. "Rob stopped being Gumballs nemesis, and is now Banana Joes nemesis, so he's trying to get Rob to hate him again." Penny explained, watching as took a leftover burger from a table, and eating it whole. We used our bags to shield us, as an explosion engulfed Gumball. I slowly lowered my bag, and looked to see if anybody else had seen what just happened, but everyone seemed fine with it.

Penny left, dragging an unconscious Gumball with her, and I waved goodbye as she left. Just then my phone buzzed, and I picked it up to see that Rob had sent a few texts, all at once? 'Hey, I need help with something, could we meet up at banana Joes tonight?' I read the first one in my head, before moving on to the next one explaining why Banana Joes house was the location. 'Oh! I don't think I told you, I'm banana Joes nemesis now, he's easier to hate.' I hummed and put the phone down, thinking about it for a moment, I'm an anti hero, but.. I could use a break from the scene. 'I just read all that in his voice.' I thought to myself, typing up a reply, saying that I'd meet up with him later tonight.

⏰Time Skip⏰

I was walking up the street, following the directions to Banana Joes house, until I bumped into Gumball.

"Oh, (Y/N)! It's great seeing you!" He exclaimed, a weird look on his face. "Oh, hey Gumball.", "Come to stop Rob from putting my life in danger?" He asked, sweating nervously, and I backed up a few steps. "Oh, yeah, you see Gumball, because Rob isn't your nemesis, I can't be the anti-hero to you anymore. Also, today's my day off, so I'll be helping Rob." I explained, walking away. I can just feel the sad aura radiating off of Gumball. When I found Rob, he was hiding behind a bush in front of Banana Joes house, and I sat down with him.

"Glad you could make it." Rob whispered to me, and I smiled at him in response. Just then, Banana Joe walked out of his house, and said goodbye to his mom, to be honest, that entire family is weird, I can't pin point it but.. somethings just not right. Rob put on his night vision goggles, and we leaned into the bush to better blend in. "Hey guys!" Gumball greeted, immediately causing Rob to scream and grab my shoulders, to which I screamed as a response, and grabbed his shoulders back. "What!?" Rob said, Irritated at the fact that he had popped out of nowhere, but sounded like he's been doing this. Realizing that we were still holding onto each other, we both let go at the same time, a bit flustered. "Oh nothing. Just wanted to hang out, you know, like friends?" Gumball replied, still having a weird look on his face, didn't he have that face the entire day? I thought I saw it earlier at the mall. "What?" Rob asked, curiously, but he just shook his head and we went back in our places in the scratchy shrub. After a couple seconds, Rob handed me his goggles, and I took them, looking through to see that they were night vision. I looked to where Rob had his eyes for the past minute, to see that the door had been rigged. I nodded my head and handed the goggles back to Rob, who put them back in his head.

"I booby-Trapped the house." Gumball suddenly brought up, which surprised the both of us, was that the trap I saw earlier? "What?" Rob asked, as I scratched an itchy part on my arm, jeezum this shrub is just not good for me. I raised an eyebrow "When's it gonna go off?", "Any minute now." Gumball responded in a hushed tone, which prompted me and Rob to look on in anticipation for several seconds. "So.. why are we watching this house?" Gumball questioned, making me instinctively smack myself in the forehead. "Because it's where Banana Joe lives?" Rob said, wondering if Gumball knew exactly what we were doing. "Oh, then who's house did I-?" Gumball was cut off by an explosion, a few miles away, and right after that, an injured Tobias flew overhead. Gumball seemed indifferent when Tobias landed with a thud, and I cringed at the sound of Tobias literally crashing against the concrete. Rob shook his head at the failed attempt to help him, and gestures to the front door that was rigged. "Never mind. I've rigged Banana Joes front door handle so that when he opens it to take out the trash, it unhooks a latch on the back of the truck down the street, releasing the oil drums, which will roll down the sidewalk towards him. So just as he lifts the lid, he's obliterated." Rob went on to explain, as I looked at him, bewildered at How planned out this entire day was for him. "Wow. You really explained that in a lot of unnecessary detail." Gumball commented, Rob shushing him right afterwards.

"Here he comes." Rob whispered to us, making us hide and protect ourselves from the trap. The trap activated just as Rob had planned, but what wasn't planned was Gumballs light on his phone going off, making me close my eyes tightly at the sudden brightness. Because of the flash, Banana Joe narrowly avoided the aftermath of the trap, and turned around to witness the damage. Rob looked at Gumball, Irritated. "Agh, what are you doing!?", "Turn it off!" I finished for him. Gumball panicked, and tried to fix the settings on his phone. "I was gonna take a photo, but switched the torch on by mistake!" He exclaimed, by now we were standing up, and I was trying to help him fix his settings. "What is wrong with you!?" Rob asked, before suddenly ducking down, and dragging me with him to hide from Banana Joe, who was approaching. He held onto me tightly, as we watched Gumball talk with Banana Joe about the situation prior.

"Did you see that?" Banana Joe asked, to which Gumball confirmed what just happened, leading Banana Joe to ask what he was doing here. "Just chillin' with Rob and (Y/N), right guys?" Gumball said, turning to us. Rob let go of me, and I went behind him, holding the bridge of my nose in annoyance, as Rob began yelling at him, soon enough it escalated to where Rob grabbed Gumball and began violently shaking him, causing me to instinctively get between them and try to break up the one sided fight. "Yo, YO! Chill, it's cool, it's alright!" I said, trying to pull Rob away, and calm him down, but the grip is so iron, you'd think that it was made in a factory, this is gonna be a while..
