Title: World's Best Boss
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Not my characters.
For hc100 challenge 1 bosses.
She's comfortable with the game they play. It's safe to flirt within the bounds of their boss/employee relationship.
She knows it's just an excuse. Neither of them will admit to being afraid. They're a lot like each other in that regard.
(A lot like each other in many ways – Now's not the time to go there.)
She's still trying to deal with the scars of her past. She's not sure what he's scared of – maybe losing someone he loves?
So she keeps playing the game, buys him a mug saying World's Best Boss, and waits for the rules to change.
