Ughhhhhh….too much school work... Its driving me crazy!
Still can't write a lot for the next two weeks. I have assignments to do, sorry. I'll try to update soon again but sadly I cant make any promises.
This is also unedited so I'm sorry if it doesn't make sense. I'll fix it when I have the time.
Hope you enjoy this chapter x
WARNING: Unedited.
Usami POV...again
I made the right decision putting Misaki's desk into my office instead of giving him his own. It was always to quiet when it was just me. The only source of entertainment was watching the world go by outside the window and listening to the busy traffic below.
The continuous tapping would always be coming from the keyboard of Misaki's laptop, never slowing down with his rapid typing and never stopping until he was finished with his task.
It was amusing to see his face in complete concentration. His sole focus would be on the screen in front of him. The blue light illuminating his soft, smooth features and the display would be reflected in his eyes so clearly that you could see every sentence he wrote down.
And in those times that Misaki was struggling, he had the tendency to bite his lip hard, as if he was uncertain about something, but would never give up on finding a solution to complete his work and find the answer in the end.
"Usagi-san? Is there anything else left for me to do?"
I long to say yes. To make him stay with me just that little while longer but I didn't have the heart to do so. I've had him working a little later in the day to help me out during late night meetings but he would never complain about being tired. He would just smile and help me out with whatever I asked of him.
He was obviously tired.
"No, your finished for today. You can go home."
Misaki smiled and began to pack up his things but paused when a small knock on the door was heard. One of the receptionists opened the door with a tall figure following behind her.
I would know that man anywhere. The dark hair and dark eyes lurking behind a pair of thin glasses with a look of disgust plastered on his face was far to familiar to not know who he was.
"Nii-chan? Why are you here?"
I glanced over to Misaki to see a look of confusion plastered over his face. Clearly not expecting to see his brother here.
Looking back a t the man I once loved, he spoke in a harsh but quiet tone towards his brother but kept his eyes firmly on me. The look of hatred clearly written all over his face.
"Misaki isn't your shift over? I think its time for you to leave."
Misaki opened his mouth to protest but one look from Takahiro stopped him from saying anything. He picked up the rest of his things and left the office without another word, keeping his head down the entire time.
I gave a slight nod to the receptionist to indicate that she could leave then turned back to Takahiro, gesturing for him to sit down in the seat in front of the desk. I leaned back in my chair and looked at him with a stoic and calm expression, keeping up with my professional appearance even if I wanted to present him with my own look of aversion.
"You wished to speak with me, Takahiro?"
His presence was already irritating me but what really made my blood boil was those two, simple words that almost made me loose it.
"Fire Misaki."
The desire to stand up and punch him was far too strong that I had to take a deep breath to calm my increasing temper.
"Well..." I smirked. "...and here I thought you came here to apologise for what you did to me."
It was a delight to watch him stand up abruptly from his seat and slam his hands on the desk in attempt to look intimidating.
"You deserve much more than a few parting words for-"
"For what, Takahiro?..." I cut him off "...For something I cannot change? For something I have no choice but feel?"
I stood up and went to look out the window, completely trying to ignore Takahiro's presence.
"I will not fire an employee who has done nothing. So...why don't you tell me why you want me to fire one of my most diligent workers."
I heard the man behind me sit back in the chair with a creak and awaited his response.
"My brother is the type of selfless person that does his best not to inconvenience people and Is attentive to others feelings no matter how much of a burden it puts on him. I don't want my little brother getting into anything unnecessary. Before you go fishing around my cute baby brother, you should know he doesn't like men."
I chuckled. That's what he thinks. True, Misaki hasn't said anything regarding his sexuality but his resume said a lot. The question asking about sexuality was completely destroyed with deep lines and scribbles, obviously having a battle with himself and what he would write. Misaki settled with writing 'prefer not to say' which was applicable, but did say a lot.
"Relationships can lead to many problems in the workplace, I do not tolerate anything that could lead to a decrease in a workers morale and concentration so It isn't allowed. This applies to anyone in the workplace, even myself."
I honestly didn't mind if anyone was in a relationship. The only reason this was made a rule is so I could fire previous secretaries with a good enough reason to do so.
"I've heard from Minami that Misaki is doing well at the company. He's known to be the only employed secretary that you tolerate and seem to be close with. He also gave you a pet name didn't he? So how do you think it looks for someone to naturally distrust and hate everyone to suddenly get close to someone so frail and kind."
I didn't answer but glanced back to Takahiro to see him stand and walk slowly towards me.
"If your not going to fire my little brother..." He paused to forcefully pin me to the window, grasping my collar. "Then I will and can make him quit."
With that statement, he turned to make a swift exit.
If there as one thing I knew about Takahiro is that he was heavily influential on Misaki. He raised him so of course misaki would listen to what Takahiro had to say if he had a good enough argument.
I cant loose Misaki. I don't want to loose the only person I feel I can trust.
Deciding that it was time to call it a day, I got ready to leave for home with only one thought in mind and a sudden urge to forget.
'Drink away the pain.'
The next chapter will include Misaki finding out how dangerous Usagi gets with alcohol so it's hopefully gonna be good XP
I'm thinking of writing a vampire AU after I have more time. it's going to be completely different from the average vampire fics out there and I don't think anyone else has written it with the same plot so it could be interesting so if your interested to read about that then I might write it.
Thank you for reading x
