Hiya, everyone! This is my first fanfic on here. This just grew out of an obsession I have with Hetalia and the Office (NBC). This isn't a crossover, but some plotlines will be taken from the Office (mostly the ones pertaining to romance and junk). Also, I'll be updating this on my DeviantArt account too, and I may or may not update faster over there than on here. In Chapter 2, I'll be writing a little guide in the beginning about everyone's positions within the office, so nobody gets confused. Just a warning, I wrote this back in September, so this chapter kinda sucks, but the next ones will be better, I swear!
Quick warning, there will be many, many, many pairings in this story. And the ones I write down may or may not last until the end.
Pairings: LietPol, USUK, Spamano, GerIta, CanUkr, RoChu, SunFin, RussLiet, PrusPol, DenNor, AusHun, PrusHun, PruCan, BelaLiet, one-sided BelRuss, aaaaaaaaaand France being France. Forgive me, if I forget some, and I hope you don't get confused. Dx
And just as another sidenote. Lithuania will be the main POV character for...about half of the content of the story. In fact, in the beginning, it will mainly focus a lot on him (don't worry, some characters will have POV sections too!) until...well, I'll just let you guys find out. |D
Soooooo, without further ado, here's chapter one!
HetaOffice
Chapter 1
The first day is always the hardest...
Toris sighed, as he pulled into the parking lot of his new job, some company called Herozone Paper Company. From what he gained from the interview, his new boss seemed to be obsessed with superheroes and stuff like that. Still, Toris wondered who would take a company with that name seriously.
He went through the front door of the building and entered the elevator, holding the door open for a pretty young woman with platinum blond hair.
"Hello!" he said brightly. "Which floor?"
"Fourth," she said flatly.
"Oh, you work for Herozone too?" he asked. "I'm the new salesman there. I'm Toris Lorinaitis."
"Natalia Arlovskaya."
The elevator dinged.
"Well, I'm looking forward to working with you, Natalia," he said.
She said nothing, but seemed to take hurried steps as she went inside. Almost as if she wanted to get away from him.
Toris took a deep breath and entered the office. Everyone already seemed to be working, phoning clients, checking prices, and...even a few playing solitaire on their computers. Some raised their heads to look at Toris for a little bit before going back to work.
"Um, hello, Mr. Jones," he said, peeking into his boss' office.
"Heeeeeeeeeeeey, Toris!" exclaimed Alfred, looking up from his desk. "What's up?"
"Oh nothing much. Uh, where do I sit, exactly?"
"I haven't showed you yet? That's right!" exclaimed Alfred, taking Toris by the arm.
He dragged Toris to a corner of the office, where there were five other people working. They all looked at him.
"Here are you're new desk buddies!" said Alfred. "There's Eduard von Bock, our resident computer geek extraordinaire! Seriously, ask him anything about computers, and he'll tell you." The bespectacled blonde smiled at Toris. "Ivan Braginski." The large man gave him a creepy smile. "Yyyyeah, that's our Ivan." Alfred sighed. "Raivis Galante, one of our youngest employees. Say hi to Toris, Raivis." Raivis shivered a little and waved at Toris. "And of course, the fabulous Feliks Łukasiewicz!"
"Oh, finallyyou pronounce my name right!" exclaimed Feliks.
Toris jumped a little. He never imagined that Feliks would be guy, especially since he was wearing a nice blouse and a short black skirt.
"Basically, all you need to do is call these potential clients and see if you can make a sale." Alfred pulled out a thick binder from a filing cabinet and sat the giant thing on Toris' desk.
"If you need any help, anyone of these guys definitely wouldn't mind helping you."
Another man went up to Alfred. "Hey, Alfred, what'm I supposed to do about these new leads?..."
"Oh hey!" Alfred threw an arm around the other man's shoulder in a headlock. "This here's Arthur Kirkland, head salesman and my assistant!"
"Argh! Alfred, what the hell?" snarled Arthur, trying to flail his way out of Alfred's grip. "Get off me, you git!"
"Ah, Arthur, you know you love me," said Alfred. He released Arthur. "Just showing you around to the new guy!"
"Of course. Hello," said Arthur rather curtly. "What do I do with these new leads, Alfred?"
"Just put them on my desk. I'll sort them out."
When Arthur began to walk away, Alfred pinched his shoulder slyly.
"Will you stop doing that?" Arthur demanded. "God..."
Alfred chuckled. "Okay then. See ya around the office, Toris!"
And with that note, he left.
Toris put his suitcase down and turned on the computer, which took ages to start up. He set up his work e-mail and downloaded the e-mail program on his computer.
"You need help with sales, da?" asked Ivan.
"Oh! No thanks, Mr...uh...Braginski," said Liet, opening the giant binder. "But I'll be sure to ask if I do."
"Are you sure?"
"Uhh, yeah, I am..."
"Really?"
"Yes..."
"Oh come on, Ivan," Feliks said reproachfully, sliding his chair over to Toris. "If the newbie doesn't want help, don't give him any. Sheesh."
Ivan shrugged and went back to his work, poking Raivis in the back with a pen.
"Sorry about that," said Feliks. "Ivan can be a little eager when it comes to new salesman. Anyway, I'm Feliks Łukasiewicz, but you probably already know this already." He shook Toris' hand. "What's your name again?"
"I'm Toris Lorinaitis," he said. "Pleased to meet you, Feliks."
"Like, me too."
Feliks slid his chair back over to his desk and began typing.
Toris figured it was finally time for him to start working. He opened the gigantic binder and dialed in the first number.
"Hello, this is Toris Lorinaitis from Herozone Paper Company and I was wondering if you're interested in buying some paper from us-"
The other person hung up.
Toris scratched off that name with a pencil. Well, that went well.
"Hello, this is Toris Lorinaitis from He-"
"I DON'T WANT ANY GODDAMN MUSHROOMS."
Dead line.
"Hello, this is-"
"Oh...Yes...YES!"
Toris slammed the phone down on the receiver in disgust. He decided to try again.
"Hello, this Toris Lorinaitis from Herozone Paper Company and I was wondering if you're interested in buying some paper from us."
"Oh...you're from Herozone?"
"Yes. I'm a salesman there. Are you from the-" Toris had to squint "-Allen Law Firm?"
"I am Mr. Allen."
"Hello...err, do you want paper?"
"Yeah, we're in need of a new paper company. We just had to break off our relationship with one of the larger chains."
"Oh sorry to hear that."
"It sucks, yeah. So anyway, what're your prices?"
"Let me check."
Shit.Toris immediately started clicking through the computer files to see if he could spy anything related to prices. Suddenly, an e-mail popped in his inbox. He opened it.
"Hey, here's a list of all the prices! Good luck!~ Feliks"
Toris looked over at Feliks, who seemed to be engrossed in his work. He smiled slightly.
"Uhh, hello?"
"Oh yes, sorry about that, sir! Well, we have a case of ten reams of the premium stock paper for forty dollars, twenty reams for seventy dollars, and-"
"Eh, I'll just take the twenty reams."
"Okay! That's great." Toris grabbed a notepad out from his suitcase and started scribbling. "So, I presume this'll be mailed to your office?"
"Yes it will."
"Alright! Well, I hope to see more of your business in the future, Mr. Allen."
"And I yours."
Toris put the phone down. "YES!" he exclaimed.
"Guys, I think the newbie made a sale," said Eduard.
"What?" Ivan stopped poking Raivis' arm, where a bruise had already begun to form.
"Yeah, I did!" said Toris, brimming over with excitement.
"Congratulations!"
"C-congrats!"
Toris slid his chair over to Feliks' desk. "Hey, thanks for helping me with the prices and stuff. I really appreciate it."
Feliks smiled. "Like, no problem. Glad I could help."
Toris was about to slid his chair away when Feliks said, "Hey..."
"Yeah?"
"I was thinking, do you want to, like, hang out for a little while after work? You know...to celebrate your first sale...or something."
Toris blinked. "Umm, okay sure...What exactly you thinking of?"
Feliks shrugged. "I dunno. You can hang out at my place, we can go to the bar...or dinner...or the movies." He blushed a little.
"Yeah," said Toris. "The bar or some food sounds good, maybe we can catch a movie."
"So...dinner and a movie?"
"Yeah."
"So...it's a date!"
"Yeah...wait, what?"
