I'm not even going to start apologizing- yes I am. I'M REALLY SORRY! I don't even want to know how long it has been since I've updated my stories, so.. let's not think about them. Actually.. God I'm so sorry for not updating Q_Q But I want you to know that I will continue every one of my stories, it just.. takes some time. And even thought I have absolutely no idea of what to write, or that I'm suffering from massive writer's block on the behalf of my earlier stories... I will continue them. I would be damned if I didn't. So don't lose hope :) Once again, SORRY! (Bows in shame)
But right now I don't really want to think about them, since I have come up with a new story. ONCE AGAIN. (Sigh) I can't help it. Writing what's on my mind. I just.. don't know.
Never mind about that.. This is.. I don't actually know what I'm going to write in this either. But one thing is for sure. There will be numerous pairings. Yaoi and Het. Now that was unexpected. I know the main pairing, but I'm not telling it, because I'm evil and there is no meaning to it if I tell it now. And I'm pretty sure half the people who are reading this would have turned away the second they knew what pairing it was going to be. But I will tell you right now that there will NOT be any 1827. And just now at least two people are screaming "NO~!", at least in their heads they are. And anyone who has been reading my stories (and actually liked them) sorry, there wont be any 1859 or 6959 either. I guess that was pretty unexpected too xD
Oh and the most important thing; this is AU! My first one :D And it means there are no mafia, no fights (at least not so intense) and every arcobaleno are adults. EVERY one of them. Though I'm not one hundred precent sure about that mafia... And - sadly - Reborn isn't carrying Leon with him, it's living on a terrarium. So sad. But that was rather useless information since you wont see Reborn in this that much. He is barely even mentioned. I have to fix that.. I really need to. So this is basically really boring office working (most of the time) with some flirting, groping and other stuff (namely sexual harassment). And some really fucked up relationships. That pretty much sums it up.
And it is all told from Gokudera's pov. For now.
Enjoy! If you can..
I hate my life.
No real reason.
I just hate it.
For many reasons. Right now it was my job, or more precisely a project that I had to now stay overtime to make because some idiot had to go and ruin it. And who else to get to fix the whole mess then me. Like it was my fault the woman can't do her job. I can't really even understand why they hired her; all she does is ruining every damn project.
I can give her credit for actually getting the contract but that's all she is good for. The only way she actually could achieve something, would probably be if they took her out midway the project so she couldn't mess it up. Actually it would be better to take her out right away after the deal has been made. What she is even doing here? I would have kicked her out after the third mess up.
With how she looked it wasn't exactly hard to guess. She had to be fucking at least one of the managers, if not two. She doesn't exactly look like a whore but acts all the more like it. And the position she is in right now has probably been accomplished by some 'private time' with one of the bosses. And it wasn't even worth thinking who the lucky one was.
I would bet all my fortune - which wasn't that much - for Xanxus. The man was well known for fucking possibly half the people in the company. And fifth of the workers positions were questioned because, let's face it, half of them had absolutely no skills whatsoever. I work my ass out, doing their jobs too because they never really take them seriously for knowing that all they had to do was to take of some clothes and their position would be secured at least for the next few weeks.
It was disgusting.
How people could sink so low without thinking twice about it.
"You still here?" I heard a familiar voice from somewhere on my right and lifted my head to look up at Yamamoto with a small sigh. "I thought your work ended- what? Three hours ago?"
"Yeah, it was supposed to end three hours ago," I might have said that with a little too much annoyance on my voice since he didn't make any comments. "Someone from the B-section fucked up pretty badly and I'm the one to pick up her mess," I growled, "Again."
Yamamoto just shook his head. "I don't understand how you can deal with all this. Why they give the projects for you to do when there are those who actually have time?"
"How the hell would I know?" I leaned away from the screen slightly irritated. "Xanxus probably wants to just piss me of."
Yamamoto chuckled. "I don't think he would go that far," He said with smile lingering along his lips, "And just seeing him gets you touchy."
I threw a death glare at the idiot. "I don't get touchy around him, he just pisses me of," I nearly growled, "And he would go as far as it would take for me to quit this job."
Yamamoto just looked at me with a thoughtful look in his face. "I don't think he wants you to quit this job," He stated, like it was supposed to be totally clear. "Besides you are probably one of the best in here right now," He grinned widely.
I was little flattered. Just little. "Even so he purposely makes my work life hell," I said with a glare at the wall.
"Oh come on Gokudera," Yamamoto had that stupid smile in his face when he leaned just little closer, "He probably is just stressed and takes it out on you."
I just stared at him. "Are you an idiot?" I pointed my index finger at him accusingly. "First of all, Xanxus doesn't get stressed, and second, he likes to piss me of probably just for his own fun."
"But you can never know," He said with a look I couldn't quite place. "Wouldn't you want to know -"
"No."
"I didn't even finish the question."
"I know what you were going to ask. And I can tell you right now I don't give a shit what his reasons are for fucking up peoples lives on regular basis."
Silence.
"But aren't you even little curious?" The look on his face was back.
"No." Yes I was, more than little.
"Why?"
I twitched. "Because I have work." As soon as those words left my mouth I could see his smile coming back full force.
"So if you didn't have work-"
"No. I don't want to get caught and dig myself deeper on this shit," I growled at him frustrated, "Now, I would like to get this done."
"Oh." He actually had the nerve to look surprised. "I guess you should get to working then. And you have that other project and we are starting to close the deadline on the TOCO-project too."
"That project is about half way done. I just need to gather the others and decide which design we are going to go with." I started rolling my shoulders and winced at the silent crunch. "And TOCO is nearly finished on my side." I threw a look towards him.
Yamamoto perked up on that and opened his portfolio that he had been carrying with him. "I just finished and thought I would give the file to you tomorrow but since you are still here…" He stopped for awhile to look something before grinning and holding out a blue file with 'TOCO' written on it. "I didn't change the beginning 'cause we decided not to, but I put the other version in a disc for you to see. If you change your mind after seeing it."
I grabbed the file from him and put it on my desk, on top of the growing pile of work. "I will look at it tomorrow," I sighed and turned back to my computer, "Right now I'm indenting to get this done before night."
"Okay, just don't wear yourself out too much," Yamamoto laughed and turned to leave, "See you tomorrow!" I just waved my hand without taking my eyes of the computer screen.
As Yamamoto walked away from the office I slumped on my chair and closed my eyes. If I was lucky I could actually make it before night. But the clock was near eight and I had still plenty of things to do. Not to mention I had to finish this thing that wasn't even mine.
I sighed and rubbed my temples, somehow knowing I wouldn't be able to finish before night. I turned to stare at the computer screen with malice before rolling up the sleeves of my dark-red dress shirt and starting to work.
It took about fourteen minutes and I was cursing at the computer, accusing it for the project and slamming my hands on the table. It didn't help if I would be pissed and probably mess the thing even more.
It took about half an hour and I was in the verge of breaking something. Now, breaking office stuff wouldn't help me at all, it would just create more trouble.
It took about fifty-four minutes and I was starting to make up a plan to kill the woman. I certainly didn't want to go to prison, so I had to forget about that.
It took about hour and twenty-eight minutes and I was beating up the computer. I'm already out of money as it is, breaking stuff that surely wasn't mine and would cost me more than I want to imagine couldn't really help.
It took about hour and forty-three minutes and I promised to strangle the bitch first thing in the morning.
I decided a little break would be a good thing, just because I wasn't sure if I would actually start writing up different ways how to kill the woman, and my back was hurting for sitting far too many hour straight.
I got up from the chair and stretched for a good few minutes before walking of the room and to the deserted hall. I glanced at my right and saw that lights were of from the office space. Not a surprise, I was again only one to be working overtime.
Fucking Xanxus for giving me extra work. Again. I sighed and turned on the left when I saw someone rushing at the end of the hall. He too saw me and stopped on his tracks, making scrolls he had been carrying fall on the floor.
I grimaced at the loud curse and started to advance towards him when he crouched over to pick the scrolls, making more fall from his hold. "Do you need help?" I asked almost hopefully, anything would be fine if I got an extra excuse to take a break of the project.
Tsuna grinned sheepishly and nodded, "Sorry, I'm kind of in a hurry," He said and placed one of the scrolls on his arms while I picked up the rest.
"It's okay, I'm actually glad to help," I said with a grin, "I have been working on a project and thought a break would be in a place."
He stopped picking the rest of the scrolls to look up at me. "Oh, so that's why you were still here," He mused little surprised before narrowing his eyes slightly. "Xanxus didn't give you more work?"
"No." I knew if I told him Xanxus had been lately giving me more work than I could do, Tsuna would talk to him. But the bastard would just find more work for me the moment Tsuna turned his back to him.
"Are you sure?" He was staring at me uncertainly. "Because I want to know if he is giving any of our employees more work than is allowed."
"Yeah, I'm just little late on one project, but it's almost finished so I thought I would do it today so it would be done for good."
Tsuna seemed to remember something when he turned around too fast and two scrolls fell out of his grasp. "Ah, damn," He groaned and before I could do anything to help he had already picked them up. "Once again I'm sorry, but can we hurry?" He asked with a little frown.
I just smiled at him. "Of course!" He started to nearly sprint through the hall and to the elevator while I was having slight problems keeping the scrolls from falling.
I heard him sigh and turned to look at him in curiosity. "Mind me asking but, why were you still here?" I saw a slight blush rise across his cheeks. "I mean- I thought your work ended hours ago?" Like mine was supposed to.
"Ah, well-" He smiled awkwardly, "I kind of forgot the time and before I noticed it was already this late."
I stared at him taken aback, he worked overtime for hours because he forgot to watch what time it was? I knew Tsuna liked his job but to that extent…
"It wouldn't normally matter if I stayed few hours longer," He continued after a short silence, "But I had promised Kyoko to be early home today," He explained.
The elevator came to a stop and we pushed ourselves of the wall and out the metal box into the garage floor.
"You think she is going to be angry?"
"I know she will be," He groaned, "She probably will sulk me for awhile but after I make it up to her it's all forgotten." I wasn't sure but I might have heard faint chuckle.
"That's good." I replied as we stopped in front of his car. He opened the door miraculously quickly and shoved the scrolls at the backseat before turning to me.
"I would really like to talk to you a little longer, but-" He sighed.
I gave the rest of the scrolls to him and smiled. "You don't have to apologize," I said swiftly, "After all you are in a hurry and I have to finish the project."
He smiled with a nod. "We will have to go out sometime," Tsuna somehow sounded hopeful – I could be wrong too. "Then, I guess we will see tomorrow?"
"Ah, yeah." I turned to leave, "Good night!" I exclaimed and waved at Tsuna when I saw him raising his hand. I started to walk back at the elevator as he drove away from the park. I could hear the car still when the doors closed and sighed, cursing Xanxus to hell.
Oh.. wow. I kind of like this story. Just little. I wrote 27K! Well mentions of it actually, but still.. That's got to be unexpected. And Gokudera hates Xanxus. But I guess the bastard deserves his hate xD Though I love TYL Xanxus, probably more than Gokudera in general O_O Ah~ so much has changed Q_Q
And before anyone can ask, yes Xanxus is Gokudera's boss instead of Tsuna. God, I think I have an obsession of writing Gokudera's life a hell. And I'm not even sorry. I have to go and pray by the Gokudera Altair I have build on the back of my closet. No, I don't have one but I can always pretend.. I think I write too much on these author notes. If it annoys anyone please, tell me. I will promise to shut up. Or I can at least try to.
Never mind me, but tell me what YOU think about this. And what are your guesses about the pairing/pairings. And who you would possibly want to see. Though I can't guarantee everyone will be shown in this. Especially Mukuro. He is kind of not with them. Not just kind of. He is part of the Millefiore.. something. I have to come up with a name to their corporation. To tell the truth I don't have a name to the Vongola either O_O Though I was thinking of Vongola Advertisement Corporation, VAC. Lame.. I suck at coming up with names, See all the titles of my stories. On the side note, if you want to know what 'Avanzare' means just look up from somewhere. And yes it is supposed to have more than one meaning. And you won't be seeing Hibari- wait, no you WILL be seeing him. I almost forgot what I had in plan for him O_O Maybe I should write before I really forget what I had in mind.
I have to stop now before this get's longer than the actual story. But before that, here's a little teaser from the next chapter:
"Then let's kill you right now," I smirked and saw as her face paled, then turned to red, before settling on waiting horror. "Unless you want to see me in a shower."
