chapter 1 (:

/// this fanfic is copying the video 'benrey x wheatley you belong with me amv' on youtube by Chloe Anderson and all the plot is kinda the same because of that. uhhh go check out humanwheatleyslefttoenail on tumblr because they made it (chloe & humanwheatleyslefttoenail are the same person btw, just using different usernames)///


Space. It was all Wheatley had seen for decades -- the cold blank darkness, stars now only seen in the distance, Wheatley would wonder every so often if it was space core in the distance, twinkling from afar, no more than a tiny speck of hope for communication with something, anything, else. But that hope was gone now. With the dwindling power in his batteries, Wheatley let out one last sigh, accompanied with seven tired words...


"I wish someone would rescue me, uwu."


They say when something important, something lifechanging, is about to happen you hear a song playing. Well, Wheatley had heard nothing but his own robotic heartbeat for the past years of him floating in the lonely abyss we call space. As his life flashed before his eyes the unthinkable happened... Distant echoes of an ancient and long forgotten song played out in his ears, with no known origin. He had never even heard it before in his life.


The song played with a slightly upbeat tune, though the words were fogged to the point of how good your black and white copy of the school worksheet looked. Though he had a hard time at deciphering the noises, Wheatley could barely make out the words:


"You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset.. She's going off about something that you said, 'cause she doesn't get your humour like I do."


A single word rang out after the music suddenly stopped, leaving Wheatley alone with his thoughts once again -- "Hey." A mysterious voice echoed from inside his body.


At the time, Wheatley had forgotten all about his built-in radio, and so it seemed as if someone who wasn't him for a change was talking inside his head. He really thought he'd gone made for real this time -- maybe all the solitude really had done something to that silly little mind of his.


Wheatley, crazed and lonely, let out a panicked stutter, "Wh-Who the fuck are you?"


"IDK man, who are you?" They responded.


"I'm- uhm.. I-I'm Wheatley!"


He hated himself for stumbling over his words so much, but hey, who could blame him -- at this point Wheatley had been alone for long enough to see anything that could talk as some weird mix of a saviour, friend, and lover. It was an intoxicating mix of emotions that flooded him when he first heard the humans voice -- almost like falling in love at first sight, or rather, hear.


It was quite a long time until he heard next from the person talking to him. Almost a few minutes or so.. However to make up for the time wasted, what they said next shook him to the core, and filled him with both glee and dread.


"Cool, I'm Benrey," It was a slightly odd name, but Wheatley was sure he'd be able to get used to it, "I'm gonna rescue you."


It took him a little while to comprehend what was finally happening. But when he finally did he couldn't fucking believe it. Not one little bit. Yet he trusted this person he met literally just a few minutes ago, and he hoped they weren't lying or joking around.


After all, he could only hope they'd rescue him from this desolate prison called space.
