Boys are so troublesome aren't they especially if they happen to be a dark haired blue eyed boy all dressed in black according to Mai or a Monk with long hair in a ponytail if you ask Ayako. Mai just got a new radio and when she's finally able to listen to it the first song it plays only reminds her of Naru she rants to Ayako about him completely thinking he's out of the office but is he really? Also where's Monk in all this?
This was originally going to be a one chapter song fic but I've since created some-what of a story in my mind so now it's gonna be a semi two shot but mostly a two chaptered story. Wish me luck I think I'm going to need it.
Mai stepped into the office expecting the usual call of "tea" but to her pleasant surprise heard nothing she walked over to her desk after her lunch break which she'd taken at the local sandwich shop. Naru and Lin having apparently left after she had and gone off to who knows where and didn't appear to be back yet. 'Guess this is a sign that if I want to finally relax and to listen to that new radio I better do it now,' Mai thought after recently buying the stupid thing she was barely getting time to listen to it. Between everyone stopping by and Naru's constant call for tea she'd be lucky to even listen to one song on it. Just as she was turning said radio on Ayako walked in surprisingly alone.
"Where's Bou-san?" Mai asked. Ayako looked around the room quickly before replying more than a little annoyed "I was hoping he'd be here he placed a bet with me and lost now he owes me" Mai stared at Ayako for a minute, "Since when do you make bets?" Ayako smiled, "Only when I know I'll win" Mai laughed "Well your welcome to relax here until he shows up he will sooner or later anyway, probably." "Well it's the best lead I've had all day at finding him he's not at home or any of his regular band hangout places. He's purposely hiding from me." the red head stated as sat down on the couch. "Now I have no choice but to add to what he owes for the bet, so I'll be plotting here if you need me." While reaching over and taking paper and pen from Mai's desk. Mai shook her head and sat down at her desk, 'If I were Monk I'd be in hiding to.'
The office was now quiet except for the sounds of Ayako's pen scribbling's and slight mutterings and the radio "up next is the latest single from Taylor Swift I Knew You Were Trouble enjoy all u listeners out there it's grown on me." Mai groaned inwardly she knew the song all too well but couldn't bring herself to turn it off.
Once upon time
A few mistakes ago
I was in your sights
You got me alone
You found me, you found me, you found me
I guess you didn't care
And I guess I liked that
And when I fell hard
You took a step back
Without me, without me, without me
And he's long gone
When he's next to me
And I realize the blame is on me
Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Till you put me down oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
No apologies
He'll never see you cry
Pretend he doesn't know
That he's the reason why
You're drowning, you're drowning, you're drowning
And I heard you moved on
From whispers on the street
A new notch in your belt
Is all I'll ever be
And now I see, now I see, now I see
He was long gone
When he met me
And I realize the joke is on me, Hey!
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Till you put me down oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
When your saddest fear comes creeping in
That you never loved me or her or anyone or anything, Yeah!
I knew-
Mai turned off the radio a little harder than was necessary, causing Ayako to look up from her plotting's of the poor monk "Something wrong Mai?" "That song describes him too well." Mai stated. The priestess stared blankly at the young women, "Come again?" "Naru I knew he was trouble when I met him he walked right into the classroom and something just seemed off about him you know and well, I guess shame on me cause I went snooping around the old school house and well the rest is history on that. I fell hard for him he couldn't really take a step back since we never really went forward but the point is he was trouble when I met him. He was already long gone when I met him he was only here to find his brother." "And yet he still came back," Ayako pointed out. Mai sighed.
"Yeah but he never loved me or Masako or anything or anyone well, besides his brother and reflection I even confessed to him and you know what he says to me? He says I love his dead brother who lives in my dreams well sort of lives in my dreams but still come on does he not know how unhealthy that sounds? Uhhhhhh." She banged her head on her desk in frustration. "Guess I'm no better though I'm in love with a narcissist." Ayako glanced at Naru's office door. "Are you sure you should be ranting about all this right now?" Mai lifted her head off her desk. "Naru's not here his door is shut and he would've demanded his tea when I got here and Lin's not here either there's no typing coming from his office and he doesn't let Naru out of his sight."
Straightening herself in her chair Mai stared at her desk. "I thought maybe he did like me you know since he hired me for one even before my powers really took root and the amount of times he saved me. Like when we fell down the manhole he made that coin talk even now I'm not 100% sure why he did it. Or when I was in the nurses' office and the roof collapsed he jumped in and covered me with his own body he could've died right along with me and any hope of finding his brother would've been gone out the window. Why would he do that? And when I had that dream of the maid who died he brought me tea he was actually being nice and he asked if I was ok he's never done that." "Don't forget you're also the only one he calls by their first name besides John." Ayako pointed out again.
"Yeah, and even after all that I'm still working for him," she sighed, "why do I keep working for someone who's nothing but trouble?" "Because you love him," Ayako stated. Mai frowned, "I wasn't really looking for an answer that was a rhetorical-" Mai was suddenly cut off from Naru's office door opening. "N-Naru!?" cried a very flustered and surprised Mai.
And there it is chapter one how much did Naru hear? What's going to happen next? Don't forget to read and review.
