Oh sup! It's an AU fanfiction! Never thought I'd be writing one of these.

Well anyway, I hope you like it! This is a strong T (very strong) MIGHT have to change it to M later, but not very likely.

Bon appetite~ (…what?)

Suzaku was nervous.

In fact, he was nervous for a number of reasons. The first reason being that he had never held a serious job in all of his 21 years. The second was that it was his first day at said job, and he didn't even know if the clothes he had picked out were okay.

He had just picked a simple button down and tie, with some dress pants. Suzaku had tried to tame his unruly brown hair, but it didn't seem to have worked.

He swallowed nervously as he walked up the steps into the office building.

Entering the doors, Suzaku was surprised by the quiet. It was only occasionally broken by the sound of copy machines, or the pretty red-head secretary answering the phone.

Suzaku decided to walk up to the desk. As he did so, the secretary nodded and mouthed the words "one second" and went back to talking on the phone, something about holding a meeting with Mr. Lamperouge on Wednesday. Suzaku just smiled and nodded. He had heard it was good to be very polite on the first day.

She finally put down the phone and her face light up with a smile. "Hi there. I'm Shirley, nice to meet you." She reached out to shake his hand.

"I'm Suzaku." He continued to smile and shook her hand with vigor. He felt a little awkward, the smile didn't seem to be able to fade or feel natural.

"Oh, yes! You're the new guy. I'll show you to where you're going to be working." She started to walk away, and Suzaku stood there for a moment.

Follow her, you fool, a voice in the back of his head said. He quickly started after her.

Shirley was heading towards a bunch of cubicles, in which Suzaku saw many workers typing away. According to Shirley, his little work area was near the back left of the building.

"Well, here you go! Go ahead and get settled." She smiled again, keeping up her bright and cheerful tone. Suzaku made to sit in the chair that was provided for him. "Thank you," he said, trying to emit the same naturally happy tone that Shirley had.

She went walking away, smoothing her skirt as she walked away. Suzaku's smile became a little less fake. Shirley really was a nice girl.

"She's hot, right?"

Suzaku jumped. "Huh?" He turned to see some blue-haired guy leaning outside his cubicle, watching Shirley walk away, his eyes trained on something obviously other than the back of her head. The man turned, grinning at Suzaku. The sleeves of his shirt were rolled up to his elbows, and his tie was a little off-center. "I'm Rivalz. You're new, right?"

"I…er…yeah," Suzaku mumbled, still not very used to the sudden introduction. Rivalz smiled more. "You're lucky you got hired. The boss must've seen something he liked."

Suzaku could feel his eyes widen a bit. Something he liked? Did he mean…

"Relax, I meant on your resume," Rivalz laughed, obviously enjoying Suzaku's reaction. Suzaku couldn't help the embarrassing blush that spread across his face. "Oh, right."

"Rivalz, are you bothering the new co-workers again?" A tall blond woman was walking down the hall in their general direction. "No, Milly. Just talking." Rivalz turned his attention towards her. "By the way, have you met the new guy? He's Suzaku."

Suzaku gave a little awkward wave. Milly looked at him, her blue eyes bright. "Hi! You've probably already heard Rivalz say my name, but I'm Milly." She was carrying a stack of papers that looked too heavy for her. Suzaku stood up. "Do you need some help with those?"

Without hesitation, the blond handed them to him. "Yes, thanks. These go to the boss's office."

"The boss?" Suzaku felt a flutter of nerves in his stomach. "But it's my first day, I can't just-"

"Sure you can," Milly cut him off. "Just knock on his door and tell him that I had you deliver the profit reports for me. His office is down this hall and to the right."

Suzaku gave a blank nod, his stomach twisting.

What was wrong with him? It was just the boss. He wasn't going to bite or anything. And Rivalz was just joking before.

Right?

He made his way down the hall, the papers tightly in his hands. He knocked on the door. He heard someone get up inside. He tried to calm down.

The door opened.

And of course, Suzaku dropped all of the papers he had been holding.

I love cliffhangers. There will be more chapters. I apologize for any mistakes I might have made, I've never held an office job myself.

Go ahead and review, they will make me giddy, and also make me write a lot faster. Tell me what you liked about it, or if you hated it, go ahead and flame~
