A/N: A commission for Zolth, set in the secretary/boss AU.

Randy had slept with his boss. And he didn't feel any remorse for it. If anything, it seemed to improve their relationship beyond their workplace status. Randy naturally still did his job regardless, after all, he had said he was good at following orders and expected to prove what he meant. So, he brought papers to different departments, brought coffee, snuck in a quick kiss to Proton, and ended up moving into a better apartment on Proton's orders.

So, when he went to visit his sister, he looked better. And she noticed.

Sandy smiled at her brother, saying, "I see you got the job," her smile widened as she hugged him. "You look healthy," she continued, patting his arm as the children and Shadow played in the living room.

"Thanks, y'know, fer gettin' me the opportunity in the first place," he said, sitting at the kitchen table. "It's nice, I finally moved into a better apartment,"

"That's good," Sandy replied, her back turned to him as she prepared dinner. "I hope Proton hasn't been too hard on you,"

"Nah, he's been a great boss," he answered, helping set the table as the kids and Shadow went to wash their hands. "Work ain't too hard, but Proton's been welcomin',"

Sandy nodded, taking the pot of beef tips and rice off the stove. "Anythin' else I should know about?" she asked, watching Randy smile.

"I met someone, granted it was at work, but we're hittin' it off pretty well," he said, fixing himself a plate as Shadow fixed the children's food.

Dinner went by smoothly after that, Randy keeping the fact that he was with his boss to himself. He didn't want to ruin the time he had with his sister and her family with scandal.

Proton met Randy in his new apartment as a housewarming gift. He sat on the couch as some thriller played on the television, waiting for Randy to get back with the bowl of popcorn.

He smiled as his new boyfriend sat beside him, passing the bowl to Proton. Randy leaned into Proton's side, watching the movie with interest.

Proton could honestly care less about this murder mystery, but he wasn't about say that. Not when it brought Randy so much joy to spend time with the older man.

"Oh, this is my favorite part," Randy said, smiling at Proton before turning his attention back to the movie.

Proton kissed Randy's shoulder, feeling the other man shift up to meet his ministrations. He trailed kisses up and down Randy's neck as the credits rolled, hearing Randy sigh contently.

"Thanks fer comin' over," he said, moving away to put the bowl in the sink. "I wasn't sure if I wanted ta spend the night alone,"

"Then you won't," Proton said, standing up to head to the bedroom. Randy followed him, getting into bed and patting the other side.

Proton joined his boyfriend in bed, turning the light out as Randy cuddled up to him. Proton could get used to this.
