A/N- so here it is! The latest chapter of the series, I am glad there are people enjoying this! Sadly this chapter isn't as funny as the other ones as it is quite serious. But hey! There shall be more fun in the chapter. It is a little short, but I wanted to get this out of the way for the next chappy which should be better and a lot more character conflict.

As always I do not own any of the characters in the DGM series, I wish I did. But I don't. What I do own is the plot of this story and the many many typos that appear in here…which I do try to spot before posting this. Looks like the tricky buggers manage to stay in place. Bad typos Bad! Anyway enjoy~

Office Affair

Doubt

The redhead stared at the male, had he heard him correctly? Did he just hear Tyki say I love you? Of course he wasn't deaf, just blind in one eye. He didn't know what to say or what to think. Sure this was suppose to be a date, but he didn't think they was at the stage of saying the L word just yet. His heart stammered in his chest and he could have sworn that Tyki could feel it, hear it. He needed to say something to the male who began to look more and more heart broken with each second that passed by in the silence.

"I can understand why you do not feel the same about me. After all you have witnessed the things I have done in my past as she came today." Tyki sighed softly; he could see it on the redhead's face that this was only shared by one person. The male pulled his hand away and gave the redhead a soft kiss on his cheek as a farewell. But as he went to turn around, something very gently caught his sleeve.

"You say that and leave?" Lavi blinked finally out of his daze.

"You do not feel—"

"Don't tell me what I feel Tyki." Lavi pulled the male close to him again, his lips brushing over his cheek "I love you too" Lavi whispered, he had finally done something he had vowed never to do. He had given someone his heart and he hoped they would not break it in two.

Tyki was silent, he had believed the redhead hadn't felt the same way about him. The looks he often gave to youth while they was in the office was always returned with glares, but now…now he knew what the redhead had felt. "Are you sure that is how you feel about me?"

"Tyki, please don't ask again. Your questions are making me feel as if loving you is wrong"

"It is dear Lavi…I am a man who has a record of breaking hearts, but you I do not want to break. You have been the best thing that has ever happened to me. You was there in the time I needed someone to guide me, you was there when I heard of the news that a family member was seriously sick. You was there with that alluring smile, boyish charms and the sense of happiness that certainly was contagious. You have been my best friend all this time and during the time my feelings for you have grown more and more. I love you Lavi and it has taken me this long to finally realise it"

"Tyki…you know…do you want to come inside? It is late you can stay over. At least then I can make sure your ass is on time to work" Lavi didn't want to talk about this out here. Too many people had a habit of listening in, for gossip purposes. He turned around and twisted the key in the hole until he heard the familiar clicking sound. Pushing the door open and withdrawing the key, the redhead stepped inside and ghosted his hand over the walls for the switch. Once his fingertips brushed against the switch he pressed it down and watched as the shadows of the place was chased away by the florescent lighting. "Come on in!" Lavi called out as he walked into the kitchen to place the kettle on.

Tyki sighed softly, a smile was placed upon his lips as he walked into his lover's apartment. A soft mew was heard and he glanced down to see a small fluffy black kitten toy with a small bell. The male smiled at the cat and watched in fascination as she nuzzled up against his leg before chasing the bell that had began to roll away. Closing the door so the little pet didn't run free, Tyki removed his coat and hat and placed the items down against the table that held various opened letters, books and keys.

He walked into the kitchen, seeing the redhead busy with making coffee and tea, the male silently walked over to him and wrapped his arms around his waist, listening to the surprised gasp that passed pale lips. "Forgive me, I cannot help but adore you with hugs" The soft purr whispered.

The redhead smiled to himself as he leaned his smaller body against the older male's enjoying the sense of security, safety and love that washed over him in such a simple hug. Things between them was different the moment they had told each other their feelings. "Tyki Mikk is this your way of showing me your undying affection towards me~?" Lavi's voice had taken on a more playful tone, whereas Tyki's voice purred so sensually it caused Lavi to moan under his breath.

"Perhaps so my little dear" Tyki placed a kiss against Lavi's neck enjoying the warmth of the flesh and small shiver that ran throughout the assistants body.

"T-Tyki please…" Lavi didn't want to do that type of activity, he wanted to make it perfect. Yes they have been fucking around in the office but this time it was different because they both loved each other. Yet those poisonous words that Lenalee hissed out began to echo around within his mind. Has he made the wrong choice? Will Tyki break his heart as he had done to so many others? What made Lavi different to them? Why now? Why was Tyki suddenly wanting to settle down? Those questioned began to whisper doubts within his mind, he could feel Tyki's lips trailing all over his neck however, he would not hear the words the older male was whispering out.

Tyki stopped what he was doing and carefully picked Lavi up bridal style. He didn't want to upset his new lover by continuing so he took him into the living room that had several small bookcases full with books from years ago, to new books. This didn't surprise him in any way and so he sat down against the comfortable couch and leaned against one of the many red velvet pillows. "Lavi" Tyki began as he glanced down towards the youth, a small smile appeared against his features when he saw the small colouring take form on his cheeks.

"Hmm" the soft murmur vibrated Lavi's throat. He leaned his head against the other's chest and listened to soft thudding of the beating heart.

"Whatever the witch—I mean whatever Lenalee has told you, I just wanted you to know that ive changed"

"How…? She sounded so sure"

"When I met you, I had just broken things off with her. I never had thought that she would have done what she did but the future is never known. Yes, I fooled around after, I was in a bad place, but when you started working for me things began to change. I was starting to deal with what I had lost, and our friendship grew. You listened to me when I called—"

"You had the nerve to call me when I was in the bath, then ask me what I was wearing!" A small pout found its way onto pale pink lips.

Chuckling Tyki continued "I never had someone listen to me, despite the fact that I had called while they was in a bath. However I do remember your voice was panting…what was you doing in the bath~?"

"…I was exercising"

"In a bath?"

"Yes, just like you exercise in your office."

"…Well played. Anyway, when I first kissed you it was addictive. I wanted more of you, I needed you and you took me without questioning my intentions. What made me begin to question my emotions towards you was the day the client I have forgotten his name now, came into the office and began to flirt with you. I had no idea why I was so angered by it"

"Was you jealous Mister Mikk~?"

"Yes I believe I was…"

Lavi closed his eye and shifted when he felt Tyki lay down against the couch. The youth had moved and grabbed an extra pillow, placing that beneath his lover's head as he climb on top of him and laid back down.

"Jealousy…suits you well. I remember when he left how you pinned me against the wall and claimed by lips. It was then when I was beginning to question you" Lavi nuzzled the chest before settling down. With a soft yawn he placed a hand besides his head and rested it against Tyki's chest. "Why is she back…?" a tired voice asks.

"That I do not know, and it has me worried" Tyki gently ran his fingers through the soft red locks. "I love you Lavi, even if the events that unfold now cause you to doubt me…"
