Anai 5

Author's note: meta

The next day, Anai played some Modest Mouse music and began screaming along with the lyrics. "AAAHH DOING THE COCKAROACH! YEAAAAH! DOING THE COCKROACH! YEAH!" He loved how Isaac Brock screamed as much as he did. "You'll look in the mirror and say 'my parents are still alive'" a lyric he took both figuratively and literally considering he had the misfortune to become like his parents and his parents are alive.

He sighed while looking at himself in the mirror. What has he become? He has no idea anymore. He felt alone. People invited him to talk but he didn't want to interact with anyone anymore. All people did was hurt him all the time. He fully avoided everybody even if they never caused him harm. He became a paradox of wanting friends but simultaneously avoided everybody.

Time for work. He placed on his shoes and headed on over to the office.

At work, Haida had a helmet and shield on. He was dreading another day of either getting punched, slapped, or spat upon.

Anai walked past him. "Morning." He stated without even a passing glance.

Haida flinched but then uncoiled to glance over at Anai. "Oh, hey, morning!" He looked around and noticed Fenneko was absent. It seems she wasn't going to come to work today. An hour passed and he soon felt safe for the moment removing his helmet and he sighed in relief.

Suddenly Fenneko popped up out his helmet and spat warm beer into his face. "BITCH. I WARNED YOU."

"AHH, JESUS TAPDANCING CHRIST ON A STICK!" Shrieked the hyena. "FEN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HELMET?!"

"GET A FUCKING MINI FRIDGE, YOU BEER-GUZZLING FUCKLORD!"

Haida had enough and ran out of the office to buy a mini-fridge.

Anai sighed as he filed away the emails he was assigned. He forgot to pack lunch again but decided whatever. The office got him a stove so he'll stop having massive nervous mental breakdowns and randomly crying. His eye twitched as he came to the conclusion they were using him just like his parents did.

It was lunchtime. "Hey, Anai!" Shouted a coworker. "Cook us something!"

Anai shrieked loudly and blasted Modest Mouse's "Shit Luck" while cooking noodles and sang the wrong lyrics. "I CAN'T SWIM SO I DOG PADDLE! I CAN'T SWIM SO I DOG PADDLE!" He threw knives at the computers causing fires and explosions again. "YOU CAN'T GET IT CAUSE YOU DON'T GET IT NO!"

He paused waiting for Haida to say his classic punchline until he noticed he wasn't around. He sighed and quieted down to cook noodles as the flames roared around the office. Komiya used a fire extinguisher to put out the flames. The noodles lacked a spark to them tasting a bit bland and the coworkers noticed.

"Hey Anai, what's with your noodles?" Spoke a coworker. "They don't taste the same."

Anai began to violently cough on the coworker. "WHAT YOU WANT THE FUCKING VIRUS SO YOU'LL NEVER SMELL OR TASTE ANYTHING THE SAME AGAIN OR FUCK WHAT? BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO MY GIRLFRIEND!" He began to cough upon everybody. "EVERYBODY IN HERE GO TO HELL!"

Haida arrived with a mini-fridge and placed it under his desk. "Okay, Fen! I got the mini-fridge! Please stop spitting on me."

Fenneko quietly stared at the hyena before approaching him to spit warm beer upon his face again. "Bitch. Good." she grinned. "SET UP THE FRIDGE AND FILL IT WITH BEER NOW. BITCH."

"God, okay!" Cried Haida as he complied with her demands. "THERE! Fridge is plugged in and full of beer!"

Fenneko smiled and nodded her head. Haida sighed in relief and sat at his desk. He heard heavy breathing and turned to find Anai glaring down at him. "OH JESUS!"

"Where the fuck were you?" Muttered Anai in a threatening manner. "You made me feel negative emotions. You made me miss you when I never want to miss anybody ever again or care about them. I am displeased about this, you fucking asshole."

"God, sorry Anai. I was getting a mini-fridge so Fen will stop spitting beer at me."

The badger started shrieking his head off as tears rolled down his face and slapped Haida. "YOU'RE DEAD TO ME!" He returned to his desk glaring at the hyena for a while before resuming his work. He put on earbuds to listen to Modest Mouse. THIS BOAT IS OBVIOUSLY SINKING! Screamed the lyrics.

"I think… I'm going to have a day off tomorrow." Sighed Haida.

Fenneko popped up from under his desk and spat beer at him. "YOUR FRIDGE IS DEFECTIVE! EXCHANGE IT FOR A NEW ONE!"

Haida screamed in terror and ran out the office.
