"honestly,"
sting harshly slammed the file he was trying to read down the table as he noticed a specific someone in front of him not even paying attention.
"what's so good about him?"
poor blonde, he was only doing his job to mentor the newly joined female secretary for president fullbuster but he can't help but feel the disrespect as yukino was busy having an eye on someone rather than focusing on their session.
sting frowned as he noticed the girl in front of him still not paying attention. he then grabbed the book and slammed it on the table and thanked the gods above the he finally had caught yukino's beautiful eyes.
"Sir?"
the older coughed, clearing his throat. "you should not be distracted."
yukino chuckled as she took the pen that fell down from the table when sting slammed the book down the table.
a kind of chuckle that made sting space out and just explore the wonderful melody of yukino's voice.
and it was now sting's turn to get distracted. yukino then waved her hand in front of the older's face and then gave him a pout,
"sir, is there something on my face?"
"like i said, we should not be distracted!" sting groaned as he looked down and clutched his head, fully aware that he had embarrassed himself in front of yukino.
"Mister Dragneel is not a distraction."
yukino said, not really shy to be obvious that she has feelings for the senior, everyone probably knows about her having a very unhealthy crush towards natsu.
unhealthy because she spends the whole night watching pictures of the perfect senior.
"he is an inspiration."
sting's face then blocked yukino's view of natsu reading a file inside the reading room like the usual, making the white head groan in disappointment.
"yukino, do you wanna mess up and get scolded by your peers again?"
yukino gave the older blocking her beautiful view of natsu a look before opening the first page of her untouched file.
"let's get this over with."
from the corner of the room, where yukino was looking a while ago, a princeㅡnatsu dragneel sat there peacefully with his earphones plugged in and dozens of papers making a line in front of him.
he may look like he's working but actually he's just putting on a show just to fool everyone that he's worthy of an higher position.
he's actually dozing off right now.
well, his head was about to slam the table but was immediately got woken up when he saw group of girls coming to his way.
A smile was forced from his lips, but it looked so genuine in their eyes.
"S-sir.." a girl, being served as an offering in their group, spoke as she fiddled with her fingers.
she can't even look up at him. natsu scoffed internally, already tired of dealing with people like this, but managed to keep a smile on despite of getting annoyed of them. "may i help you?"
"we actually..." the girl looked back and saw her friends forcing her to continue speaking.
if natsu wasn't looked up as someone so perfect then he would have stood up by now and left this girls.
Natsu then glanced down at the girl's id and sighed, knowing what's up with that specific department of hers.
"I heard that miss heartfilia is giving you another project."
the girl gasped, not believing that natsu actually guessed what her purpose for being here was about.
"y-yes."
natsu scanned the papers that was lined up in front of him and took a thin paged blue book before giving it to her with that very famous smile of his.
"here, i think this will help you."
the girl happily took it, thankful that she went to natsu for help, and then she and her group of friends took a bow before leaving the room, and made natsu giggle.
a few moments later natsu groaned and buried his face on his palms.
"if i haven't had a glance of lucy's plan then i wouldn't have known."
he then stood up from his place and started to clean his table up.
he noticed some cellphone cameras pointed at him and he honestly found it so disturbing but he acted like everyone didn't mind him, he won't be shocked if later tonight a picture of his perfect angle stacking up the book will be posted later tonight, technologies today are that scary.
he continued to do his own business and walked away after he finished stacking the files he took from the shelves up.
passing by a familiar pair, natsu looked down and passed a smile at a female that looking up, so in awe with him.
"hey there yukino." natsu greeted, stopping by their table and eyed a familiar list down the table.
after reading the name, natsu proudly could say that he has been there and done that.
sting looked raised a brow at the senior visiting them and could feel his fists clenched when he saw the all-so-perfect natsu passing yukino a file that may have connection about this project they are studying.
"I hope this will help you." natsu said, giving yukino a smile that the younger almost died for as he patted her shoulder before finally walking away and disappearing from their sight.
you don't know how much sting wanted to pounce to natsu and just punch him for touching his yukino.
well, yukino is not his yet.
not yet, but almost.
hah, he wished.
holding the book so carefully, yukino made a face of a crying girl as she faced her friend looking so mad over something but she didn't think about it too much.
"drop that book, we are now studying this." eyeing on the book, sting clicked his tongue.
"you drop that." sting then showed yukino the list they were studying a while ago. "that's more complex! we are studying a basic one."
"oh." the clueless girl pouted and then placed the book down. a smile then curved to her lips seconds after. "i'm holding to this book, i love complex."
giving up, sting groaned. "whatever."
The day finally ended and natsu couldn't be so happy, as much as he wanted to escape office already, he calmly arranged his devices inside his bag, he was taking all the time in the world, waiting for the employees to leave the meeting room.
natsu sighed in relief when there's finally no one except for their director that's erasing the board filled with equations she wrote a while ago for the called meeting, to discuss their upcoming project
approaching her, natsu politely took the eraser and passed the director a sweet smile.
"i can do it for you miss heartfilia."
She didn't bother giving a glance up at natsu but mumbled a thank you after giving the eraser to him.
She went to the table and arranged the papers and felt so uncomfortable being alone with the Vice whom she's familar with.
"thank you, you're such a gentleman mister dragneel."
the director said as she gripped the papers very tight, walking towards the door to leave.
"lucy."
the blonde stopped as her name was mentioned, it wasn't loud neither was his silent, her name rolled off perfectly on natsu's tongue and she would like for the higher to call her by her name always, but sadly, that can't happen ever.
they didn't want to get caught.
"ten minutes from now at the parking lot." the pink head said with his voice changing, different from his bright and enthusiastic voice a while ago.
it was an incomplete sentence but lucy understood it clearly, she nodded her head before leaving the room, leaving natsu there who's erasing the board for her
natsu checked the time and waited for a good five minutes before leaving the room, spending another five minutes making his way down the parking lot in large building.
on the way there, he met some random night shift employees greeting him in different kind of ways, he wanted to question how everyone knew him yet he only knew some selected people.
anyways, he shrug the useless thought off and quickly made his way to the parking lot. his eyes scanned the place and gladly saw no one.
"you're late for a minute." a voice greeted him as soon as he got inside the car.
Natsu rolled his eyes as he threw his bag at the backseat.
"oh shut up, you can't blame me. everyone wants to get my atㅡ"
"yeah, yeah."
lucy then started the engine but before starting the car, she turned to the side and offered the wheel to the tired looking man,
"want to drive?"
shaking his head as a no, natsu leaned back from his seat.
"i'm too tired to do it."
lucy then started the car without asking anymore questions, the drive was silent but neither of them minded it, the silence calmed them down and made them think properly.
lucy got to think of her pending works meanwhile natsu got think how he could fix this problem of him, surely he only had some scenarios in his head but it could probably work.
turning to the right corner, lucy glanced to the side to check up on natsu who seemed to be in deep thought.
"are your parents not going to scold you for going home late?"
"they are out on a business trip, they'll be back tomorrow evening." natsu said, loosening his tie as it was suffocating him. "i still have a pair of extra there, right?"
"you're staying for the night?" lucy stopped at a dark familiar street and parked her car in front of a small, cozy house.
"it's been three days since i last saw her, why not?" natsu said, immediately opening the door on his side as soon as lucy unlocked the car.
Lucy came following from behind and fumbled with the keys inside her bag, not wanting to knock as she was afraid to disturb the kids and the babysitter. .
"She missed you so much."
a smile curved up on natsu's lips, already picturing the kid's faces once she'll be seeing him. "i miss her too."
lucy imagined for everything to be quiet as she didn't hear any noise outside, the kid is probably sleeping already.
but she was wrong, she opened the door and saw the kid on the sofa together with the trusted babysitter lucy hired watching some disney movie.
the attention then went to the door as soon as they heard it opened and a smile was shown on the smaller's face as she saw someone familiar standing next to lucy.
"daddy!"
well I did name this book as the last word but it sounds kinky ㅇㅅㅇ and I was hoping for fluff.
