A/N: The end, sorry it took so long, among other things haha.
In the morning, Lest awoke in a vacant bed to the scent of bagels and coffee. It seemed odd that his lover had taken the initiative to cook, but at the same time he was deeply flattered. He got out of bed shamelessly in his underwear and made his way to the kitchen.
Vishnal was there, setting the table in the pristine fashion one would expect from a diligent butler. The take out bags alerted Lest that his lover didn't actually do any cooking, but that was not something he was about to question. Instead he approached and took a seat quietly.
"Good morning sir, I hope you slept well." Vishnal said, regarding him with adoration. "I got us some breakfast, I hope you don't mind that it's store bought."
Lest suppressed the urge to make a snippy comment about his lover's cooking and just uttered a thank you. The two ate in silence, but the atmosphere didn't appear awkward. Instead it seemed comfortable, natural even. Lest stared off, not looking at anything while he allowed himself to get lost in thought.
"Vishnal, um, you're not hurt are you?" The boss said suddenly.
"Not at all sir. I'm in top form today."
"Oh, that's good." At that he cleaned his space and gestured for Vishnal to do the same. "Well, let's go. I hope you'll be ready for Leon's taunting."
"I've gotten accustomed to it sir. Don't worry about me."
"Right then, shall we?"
For some reason, Vishnal offered his hand, and the two moved proceeded to the car. There didn't appear to be any uncertainty among them, Lest had absolutely no reservations about being seen with Vishnal outside.
When they arrived at work, they assumed their positions as they normally would, not acting any differently than usual. Vishnal distributed the coffee and checked in with the current main process and Lest went directly to his office. Vishnal soon joined his boss.
Apparently Leon hadn't arrived yet, and Vishnal wasn't about to complain about that. It wasn't long until he made an appearance.
"Morning Leon."
"Why don't we call it 'bad night' instead?" He said, then paused slightly while he collected some things from Vishnal. He turned toward the door then, not focussing on either present party while he said casually, "by the way, how was your night?"
"Fine." Lest said nonchalantly. Vishnal watched with intrigue.
"Fine huh, only fine?"
"What are you getting at?"
"I thought your first time would have been slightly more memorable." He said with an unreadable expression.
Vishnal tensed, but Lest wasn't about to take the bait. "Why don't you be frank and just ask what you want? Stop being cryptic."
"I didn't want to bother bringing it up, it's not that big a deal right?" Of course his eyes narrowed slyly after saying that. "Well, it would be pretty much nothing for normal people, but for you two-"
"Alright, stifle it Leon." Lest said dismissively. "We're not making this into an event. Get back to work."
Leon did leave, but with a smirk. As of now Lest couldn't tell if he was planning something, or just acting like he was planning something. Maybe he was planning on making something up and telling Kiel.
A brief moment of silence followed, Vishnal spoke first, "you handled that well sir."
"Actually, I think you handled that spectacularly. You're becoming immune to Leon's jokes and taunting. That's not an easy feat, there are people who have been here since day one and still haven't become fully accustomed to his antics."
"Well thank you sir, I will adapt to any situation for you."
"Hahaha, I know you will." He tapped a pen on his desk, apparently pleased. "I look forward to seeing how you adapt in the future."
"Can do sir."
The two resumed their usual positions, with glee. Lest occasionally glanced over to his ever diligent secretary and felt like he was truly blessed to have met him. Their future was looking bright and Lest knew he'd be in for many years of prosperity with his lover.
