"Clank the Warbot! Come here right now!" Ratchet yelled from the bottom of his loft stairs, startling Clank, who was sitting innocently on the workbench.
The small robot, after noticing the aggressiveness in his friend's voice, got down off the bench and nearly stumbled down the stairs. When he safely made it to the bottom, he rushed over to Ratchet, believing that there was some sort of trouble.
Ratchet was waiting near the edge of the garage. He was standing there with his arms crossed. Clank stopped in front of him. "What is it, Ratchet?"
"You are in big trouble!" The Lombax said, pointing at the small robot.
Clank tilted his head. He was in trouble? That...did not make any sense. He believed that he was displaying nothing but good behavior since he moved into the garage. Something was wrong here. "What did I do? I do not recall doing anything wrong!"
Ratchet then pulled out his phone from his pocket and clicked on it several times. He then got down onto one of his knees and showed Clank the screen. It was displaying some sort of bird based social media page. And there was apparently some sort of (unofficial) universe holiday going on. "It's Universal Hugging Day!"
"Universal...Hugging Day?" Clank looked very confused.
"That's right."
"And...what does this have to do with me being in trouble?"
"It has to do with everything because...because...ugh, I'm tired of this stupid act. Come here!"
Ratchet quickly grabbed Clank and pulled him into a friendly hug. Clank simply stayed still, his legs and feet dangling off the ground. For a robot getting hugged by this best friend, he looked very unamused. And he still had several questions. Like:
"What did you say about an 'act'?"
"Eh, I had this little amusing act I planned out about you not hugging me on Universal Hugging Day, but it kinda fell apart on me. But it yielded the same result, so it didn't really matter. Would've been funny, though."
Clank rolled his pupiless eyes. This Lombax was the most ridiculous, nonsensical and careless person he had ever met. And sometimes he questioned why he bothered with him. And that was just the way he liked it.
The robot then settled into Ratchet's arms and gave a small smile.
It's National Hugging Day. Wanted to write a little fic about it. That is all.
