Domestic Relationship
Mike sat in the office looking over his computer screen as he relaxed back in the leather chair. He was looking over the article that he had been handed to edit for the paper.
'Get back to work Mike!' A voice came from the desk across from his and Mike looked past his screen. Levi was one of the new staff that had arrived a year ago but had been a workaholic ever since he arrived. Mike had no idea why Erwin had brought him on, he was just a piledriver when it came to keeping up work.
'I am working, I am working on the edit for the mid-spread' he explained and let out a long sigh. 'Its like the writer thought that the comma was an optional extra' he laughed and looked back up at Levi who simply groaned and shook his head.
'Then edit it so it works' Levi grumbled before getting back to his own work. Mike continued to work until the end of the day.
'Alright, I'm heading off' he called out into the office, looking over to the other people there, Levi at his desk pouting over the piece of work he was pouring over, Hanji giggling at the jokes she was doing through and there was Erwin in the back room making sure the tomorrow's edition was done before set off for print. The one's who said goodbye nodded and waved to Mike as he grabbed his coat and scarf and clambered onto his motorbike. The old girl got him home through the snow and ice covered streets to the apartment he rented with his roommate.
Throwing off his coat onto the hook, Mike headed up into his personal office and began to work on his personal project; his novel was nearly complete and he only had to get his editor to look over it.
'I'm home!' Came the call from his roommate. Mike leaned back to look down the hallway.
'You get home okay?' Mike asked as Levi laughed softly. 'Yea I nearly got sideswiped by Hanji on 3rd street, she needs to learn about the use of her break and indicators.' He grumbled as he passed Mike as he entered the office, leaking over and planting a small peck on his lips as he passed towards his own computer in the corner.
'You know you shouldn't give me the kind of grief you give me at work, you know. "Mike grumbled as he looked over his shoulder.
'And if I let you loaf off, you'd get no work done. You got to keep your workload up or you'll get fired, and then who keeps their half of the rent?' Levi grumbled as he began to type over the work left on the screen. 'Speaking of which, you are not the only one who forgets to use their commas properly." He replied with a snarky tone and using the dropbox feature, passed it over to Mike to edit.
'Yes sir' he groaned and got back to work.,
