Hibiya knocks on the apartment door, hoping Izaya sent him the right address. In his hands were a box of a dozen donuts and a cup of hot coffee. He wasn't sure what kind of donuts and coffee he should get, but when he was about to order he received another text from Izaya. He wasn't sure if it was another coincidence or what, but he really wanted to know. He wasn't sure what to expect in this new job, so he decided to wear a grey suit. He felt he might be overdressed, but he wanted to appear ready.
This would be his first official job he has ever taken; he had no idea what he was going to expect. He grew up with money from his parents and was currently in college with their said money. So he never needed to get a job. The only times that he lifted a finger for someone was when he was forced to do volunteer work by his parents so his future resume would look good to an employer.
There were footsteps approaching the door and Hibiya was expecting to see Izaya. He opens his mouth to begin his questioning when the words left his mouth and his jaw became slack. There in the doorway was a tired looking Shizuo with sweatpants barely hanging on to his hips.
Shizuo rubs his eye with his hand while he uses the other to lean against the doorframe. "Oh, it's you," was all he said. He leans forward, making Hibiya unconsciously take a step back, to look down both sides of the hallway.
Clearing his throat, Hibiya tries to speak up. "Where is Izaya-san?"
Shizuo leans back away and walks back into the apartment, giving Hibiya a signal to follow. Hibiya walks behind, closing the door behind him as the blonde answers his question. "Izaya is taking a shower. He woke me up to greet his client in case you hadn't arrived yet." Shizuo takes a look back at the short raven and then looks down at what was in his hands. "Are those the donuts?"
"Hmm? Oh yes. Where should I put them?"
Shizuo doesn't answer and takes the box away, opening it up to pull out a chocolate donut. "Your desk is over there," he points, with the donut in his hand, over to a desk with a computer on it and filing cabinets surrounding it. "There's a piece of paper of what you should get started on before Izaya comes out to give you some real work to do."
With that, Shizuo heads up some stairs towards what Hibiya could only assume was the bedroom. When he hears a door close, Hibiya takes a small look around the large room. He didn't expect Izaya's workplace to be his home. He walks over to his new desk, sets down the cup of coffee, and finds the to-do list. The first course of action read 'give Shizu-chan donuts. (He gets grumpy when I wake him up. He needs some sweets to make him feel better~)' Hibiya thinks back to last night. Did Izaya plan to give these donuts to Shizuo last night? What was the point of that? And was Shizuo going to eat all of those donuts?!
He dismisses these thoughts as he continues to read the second item on the list. 'I dropped a load of papers last night after printing them out. Organize them by the numbers on the bottom. I have placed in the top left drawer.' Hibiya reaches and opens up the drawers, seeing the large pile of papers. He looks back to finish the list, which only had two more tasks left on it. 'My first appointment with a client this morning will be shortly after you arrive. When you hear a knock on the door, answer it. That should be him. Be polite and tell him to wait for me in my office.' The final task read, 'if he doesn't arrive and I'm not out of the shower (or having fun with Shizu-chan and his donuts) by the time you're done with the papers, take out the appointment book from one of the drawers and start calling people to remind them of their appointments for today.'
Hibiya sighs. 'This was going to be so bothersome, wasn't it?' he wonders to himself before sitting down to start his work.
After some time passed, Izaya finally appeared from the stairs. "Oh Hibi-chan! Look how handsome you look!"
Hibiya looks up to see Izaya practically skipping over to his new desk. He holds in a groan as the man places his elbows on the desk and puts his chin on his hands. He leans in close to his new secretary. "How's work coming along?" He asks with that smirk that was starting to annoy Hibiya.
"I believe I'm about halfway done." He sets down a piece of paper and picks up the coffee from earlier. "Here."
"Hmm? Oh! That's not for me you silly intern! That's going to be for our client this morning. When he comes in have him wait on the couch for me. Give him the coffee while he waits."
Hibiya raises an eyebrow at the word 'intern' but decides to ignore it. "Should I heat this up then? It's not hot anymore."
"No, no. He likes it warm so let it be. I'm going to go into my office now. When he arrives, knock on my door to let me know he's here." He was about to turn around to leave, but hesitated. He examines Hibiya for a moment. "You know Hibi-chan, I don't think I like you wearing that."
"What? But you just said I looked-"
"I know what I said, but where do you think you are? This is my home and I like everything to be casual. Now take off the jacket and tie and unbutton your top buttons. Trust me; Shizu-chan likes to keep the heater on so you'll be more comfortable." With that, Izaya finally leaves the younger man alone and goes into his office room. The young raven haired man was left to himself to do the papers once again.
Meanwhile, a man in a white suit stretches looks at the window of the moving train. He sees a porn shop blur pass, which was his personal signal that his stop was coming up. He gets up from his seat, his arms over his head as he lets out a loud yawn. He walks over to the doors that will be ready to open for his stop at Shinjuku. The train wasn't filled as it usually is in this time of the morning. It was mostly only business men that are heading towards work. He wishes he could stay home, asleep like what a lot of people are still doing right about now. It was just too early in the morning to see his dear friend. But what else could he do? They were both very busy men after all. If this was the only time to get his information from his friend, then so be it.
The train slows down and soon makes a complete stop. He gets out, now walking the rest of the way. Checking the clock on his phone it reads 7:15. Perfect. It's only a ten minute walk to get to the apartment. Maybe he could take a little detour to that porn shop the train passed by…
End of chapter
Welcome to the second chapter, I hope you enjoyed it. I decided not to use song titles for chapter names. Found it too much trouble for some of the chapters I've already have down and some that I like sound too cheesy.
