Prompt 01: Letters.


Wheatley would often have a little bit of trouble with reading. It wasn't that he couldn't read, no. Sometimes he'd read too fast and misread something as another word, which frequently ended up in him bursting into laughter while trying to explain to either Rick or Craig or even Angie that he misread something as another thing, which usually resulted in a confused look from the others.

Other times, he couldn't parse the letters in front of him, and it wouldn't go through, no matter what he tried. He often had to ask for alternative explanations in emails, to which they'd reply with mild scorn, but the alternative explanations were offered, nonetheless. Sometimes Dipper had problems with parsing things, and he'd have to quickly make another explanation, and he damn well knew how that felt.

There were also times where he was yelled at because he simply couldn't parse it properly.

He was only employed because he was able to read already-written code and add to it, and they made sure he knew of that. Nevermind the fact that he sometimes had to deliver reports because just one person delivering reports while working on minimum wage wasn't enough. God knows how many times he was yelled at for forgetting to knock on the door.

Wheatley would always avoid the people that yelled at him to the best of his ability, until he just stopped delivering reports.


Author Notes: Before anyone asks, I'm well aware I'm projecting, because one time I got yelled at for delivering a Christmas card to a classroom, and I didn't knock. That was enough to get the teacher to fucking yell at me for not knocking, and for me to go back to my classroom crying. God, no fucking wonder I needed goddamn counselling.
