After Broken Steel
Now before you continue I must say a few brief things. This chapter gets a bit smutty FYI, nothing too bad, I'm no lemon writer, but it is definitely PG:13. Also, on the Fallout wiki it says Vera Weatherly is about 8 years older than the Wanderer, but for the sake of the story, i made her the same age as him.
"Well, well, well look who's back"
"Good-to-see-you-Commander-Harkness-beep boop bop", Jim "The Lone Wanderer" said robotically to his android "friend".
"Very funny, wise-ass. You better not cause any trouble like last time".
"Hey that bar fight wasn't my fault. That drunk bitch Brock started it."
"Yeah, well you were the one who started throwing chairs", Harkness retorted seriously.
"Oh yeah.", Jim said, reminiscing. "I had to work for Belle washing dishes for a week to pay that off "
"Whatever. I'll let you in just don't let me catch you doing shit like that again".
"Sir-yes-sir", Jim said mockingly in his electronic voice, as he walked into Rivet City a'la a Protectron.
"Oh, come on that isn't how I walk", Harkness yelled.
"Heh, what a dick", Jim said to no one in particular as he went into the Upper Deck of Rivet City. He was on his way to the Weatherly Hotel to check in, when he encountered the local dream couple Diego and Angela.
"What the fuck did you say to me, you lousy son of a bitch!", Angela yelled to her loving husband.
"You heard me!", Diego shouted to his dotting wife, "Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Part 2 is superior to Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Part 1!".
"And I say you are full of shit", Angela screamed, "Oh, Jim thank God you are here can you settle something".
"Oh, sure drag him into it".
"SHUT THE FUCK UP DIEGO", Angela yelled, "Jim, this sack of retard thinks HPDH Part 2 is better than Part 1. Set him straight".
"It IS better, you ignorant bitch. Better effects, better story line, better ending...", Diego countered, "Tell her, Jim".
"Whoa whoa whoa you guys, calm down!. You both are wrong. They both suck", Jim said.
"Oh...OHHHHHHH", they both said, realizing the error of their shitty opinions. They happy couple then walked away, hands entwined, cooing each other.
"I should have never gone scavenging in the National Film Registry", the Wanderer thought to himself. He then walked into the Weatherly Hotel main room to speak with Vera.
"Hey, Vera. H-hows it going?", Jim said nervously. Vera was very attractive and was one of the only women his age that didn't go all fan girl crazy on him. So naturally he was head over heals digging her.
"Oh, hi Jim", Vera said, blushing slightly. "What brings you to Rivet City? Here on your vacation? I heard you on GNR. I'm glad you decided to take a break.", she stammered.
"Yeah, so am I", Jim said, trying to sustain the conversation, "So how are you? How's Bryan?".
"Oh we are fine. Bryan keeps himself out of trouble, and business is good."
"Good.", Jim said a bit too loudly, "So, can I see the key to my room"
"Sure. Here you are.", she said as she handed him the key, "Enjoy your stay".
"Th-thanks", Jim stammered as he went to his room. It was pretty late and he wanted to get some rest after the grueling trek from Megaton.
Once he was gone, Vera turned to her good friend Cherry. "Isn't he so nice?" she said in an overly dreamy and very corny tone.
"You guys should just screw and get it over with", Cherry said, popping her bubblegum bubble.
"Cherry!", Vera screamed, while blushing fiercely, "He isn't that kind of guy. He isn't Butch, or that Seagrave, who only want one thing. He's...he's different".
"Whatever, kid. In my experience they all only want one thing. Except for the gay ones. They want one thing too, but in a different spot.", Cherry said bored.
"Gah...gross. Don't bring that crap up!", Vera said disgusted. She couldn't help but think though. She and Jim had known each other for a good three years now, and neither of them have made the first move. "Do you think I should ask him out?", she asked her friend, fishing for advice.
"Totally. No way he'd say no.", Cherry responded while twirling the gum around her finger.
"Okay I'm gonna do it.", Vera said, determined.
"You go girl", Cherry said in monotone.
Vera walked out of the room towards Jim's door, set on asking him out. She knocked on the door, a bit to eagerly.
"Come in", Jim said
"Hey Jim", Vera said nervously, rubbing her neck as she walked into the room. "How are you...uh...settling in?"
"Great...I..didn't really pack a lot so..", Jim said, sounding like an idiot.
"Listen Jim, I've...ummm. Sort of had these...errr...feelings for you...and I was wondering...if you wanted to", Vera was saying, until being interrupted by Jim pulling her in and passionately kissing her. (cough...rape...cough). They stayed kissing like that for about 15 seconds before they pulled apart.
"Jesus, Vera I'm sorry", Jim said, feeling like a freaky sex offender, "I don't know what came over me. I...", but this time Jim was interrupted by Vera pulling him in for a longer kiss.
"Don't be sorry.", she said seductively.
"Trust me I am not any more", Jim said, super turned on.
"You realize we are dating now right?", Vera said matter-a-factly.
"Errr...right. Cool", Jim said, still completely overwhelmed.
"What do you say we take our relationship to the next level", he said suavely, regaining his senses.
Vera smiled and said nothing as she proceeded to push him on the bed and shut the door.
