So, I have no idea where this story came from, but I felt the sudden urge to write some stuff about Ghost Hunt. It's not a story really, more like random moments in the SPR office. It won't have a plot unless I feel the urge to make one. There was absolutely no planning to this so excuse me for any mess ups.
Disclaimer: I don't own Ghost Hunt.
oooooooo
Naru stared down at the figure sprawled across his office couch. Three pairs of eyes watched him closely.
"... Mm... Abs... Eheh..." The sleepy mumble sounded audibly in the tension filled room. The eyes swung from the Naru to the figure and back again. A vein throbbed visibly on Naru's forehead. He ground his teeth before clearing his throat.
"Mai!"
"E- Eyaaaaaaahhhhh!"
Mai shot straight up from the couch, mirroring the expression of a startled rabbit.
She swung about on the sofa, scowling as she took in the sniggering forms of Bou-san, Yasuhara and even Lin-san.
"What on earth were you dreaming about? In fact, why were you wasting my precious time sleeping when you could be making tea?" Naru sounded positively, well... pissed.
Mai's face turned scarlet at the first question. "E- Eeeh? Why would you ask about my dream I mean I didn't say anything out loud did I? I slept pretty dreamlessly hahah-"
"Oh those abs! Kyaaaaa~" Maia was inevitably cut off by Yasuhara gesturing dramatically while inching up to Bou-san and surreptitiously lifting up his shirt. He instantly earned himself a whack from Bou-san's flailing arms. " What the hell man?!"
Mai was practically purple by then and was ready to throw hot tea all over Yasuhara.
Naru had his eyes shut, his way of practicing patience. Didn't seem to be working though. The pencil clenched in his hand was in serious danger of being cleaved in two. Mai was staring at it with wide eyes. Signs of tea withdrawal?
"W-well, it's ok.. Now that I'm awake, I can make your tea haha sorry for sleeping on the job...Again..."
She only received a curt reply in response. "Well I suppose you should get to it then."
oooooooo
Mai set the tea down in front of Naru before backing away slowly. Naru picked up the cup (without a single thank you as usual of course) and promptly began to drink it. He eyed Mai with his eyebrows raised. She was still backing away. "What do you think you're doing?"
Mai gulped. "Nothing. Just.. That you seem to be on edge lately. Is there anything I can do to help?" Mai looked up cheerfully. Oh to be able to spend time with Naru, maybe even get a smile out if him!
"It has nothing to do with you. Now, leave. I have work to do."
Mai's smile was replaced with a pout and she huffed before leaving the office, pointedly slamming the door behind her.
oooooooo
"Mai-san... What- What are you doing?" Lin-san stuttered. Yes, stuttered.
Mai's face was contorted with utter concentration but she paused to reply. "Me? Oh, I'm just getting ready for Halloween of course!" she turned back to the skimpy, short, Oktoberfest beer maid dress (or a t-shirt?) laid out in front of her. "Ayako sent me this, isn't it pretty?" She looked back up to Lin-san, face completely unclouded and full of innocence.
For some strange reason, Lin simply nodded and didn't explain to her that it was quite... indecent.
In fact, when Mai went to change into the dress, Lin-san did not object and simply sat back on the couch to watch.
Needless to say that when Naru opened the door to his office and saw Mai parading in a tightly fitting, amazingly short ruffled dress, in front of a curiously expressionless Lin, he nearly had a fit. But not before taking a second glance at Mai. Oops no, was that a third glance?
"Mai!"
With a squeal, Mai whipped around, spilling Lin's tea all over him. The ruffles of her skirt bounced, revealing too much and Naru had to swallow before speaking. "What. Do you think. You're doing?"
"Umm... trying on my Halloween costume?"
"We are not celebrating Halloween in this office."
"What?! But Ayako and everyo-"
"This is a place of WORK, not PLAY and if work isn't what you're here to do then you can leave."
Mai looked adorably sad in her maid outfit and Naru had to resist the urge to hug her... Wait, what? Naru shook his head. No way did he just think that. It must be because of the lack of tea. Yes, that must be it. Oh, speaking of tea...
"Anyway, I'm in urgent need of more tea...Give.. Give me tea first before you get changed, I need it quickly." He said that last part with his eyes averted. But damn, did Mai look good in that dr- His brain was out of control. He needed his dose of tea. "Hurry up." He spun on his heel and returned to his office.
Meanwhile, a certain Lin-san felt an emotion close to... Jealousy? Naru was going to get tea served by Mai in that outfit but he was just going to have it dumped all over him? He wasn't going to stand for tha- Lin stopped his runaway thoughts before they went too far. He shook his head and quickly rose up from his seat to wipe himself off. He made a mental note to never let Ayako get her hands on Mai's closet or otherwise the SPR office would never function again.
oooooooo
Haha, I've possibly just come up with something for the next chapter~ Halloween costumes + Naru + maybe a haunted house?
It sure is fun to play around with characters.
Hope you enjoyed, please review as I know it'll motivate me.
